Chapter 810: Expression
Xu Qian took a plane to Hong Kong!
This is Xu Qian's first time coming to Hong Kong, Hong Kong is really an international metropolis, the flow of people is turbulent, very prosperous, just a little crowded, no wonder every inch of land is expensive!
Xu Qian found that the people living here are under great pressure, because there is little land and people, no wonder Hong Kong is not as energetic as it was in the early years, and even a little twilight!
This is just like Hong Kong movies, it seems that it has been spread into old age, and it is very difficult to walk!
Xu Qian followed the main creators to worship God at the foot of the Lion Rock!
Lion Rock, sitting between Kowloon Tong in Hong Kong and Tai Wai in Sha Tin, New Territories, for Hong Kong people, Lion Rock symbolizes the spiritual highland of Hong Kong.
For more than 100 years, the materialized Lion Rock has witnessed the arduous journey of Hong Kong from a small fishing village to today's international metropolis, and the spiritualized Lion Rock has inspired generations of Hong Kong people to persevere.
Whenever the "Lion Rock Spirit" is mentioned, Hong Kong people can always find their strength, lift their spirits and meet challenges. Generations of Hong Kong people have also interpreted the spirit of Lion Rock with their own practices and injected new connotations into the spirit of Lion Rock.
In the 70s, when Hong Kong's economy was taking off, the Lion Rock spirit represented the efforts and struggles of the grassroots and their perseverance.
In the following 30 years, the social environment is different, the values remain unchanged, and generations of Xiangjiang children continue to interpret the "Lion Rock Spirit" with their own legends.
As for the development of the "Lion Rock Spirit", sociologists believe that people of different ages have different understandings of the "Lion Rock Spirit". The emergence of each spirit has a specific ecological environment.
However, in the face of adversity, we should unite and struggle, work together, help each other, and be tolerant and harmonious
One miracle after another, writing countless immortal legends.
It is precisely because of the special status of "Lion Rock" in the hearts of Hong Kong people that Xu Qian decided to start worshipping God here!
In order to make Hong Kong people less repulsive about themselves!
Many Hong Kong stars are friendly, such as Liu Hua, Around, Brother Long, etc., but there are also some celebrities who are extremely xenophobic, although Xu Qian is not afraid of them, but he doesn't want to cause trouble!
In fact, in the mainland, Xu Qian has never held such a set!
But this is Hong Kong, so naturally you have to follow the local customs!
After all, Xu Qian has heard that some Hong Kong actors are very superstitious about this, if you don't do this, maybe they won't film!
That would be a lot of trouble!
The rule of worshipping God comes from the Xiangjiang opera industry, and every year the troupe of the temple fair sings, and the opera will first go to the temple to worship for peace, and then it will be applied to the film industry!
Whoever you worship, naturally you are worshipping Guan Erye!
The second master is loyal and righteous through the ages!
Spread out the red carpet, put the roast suckling pig, and serve fresh fruits, Xu Qian held a few sticks of incense and bowed respectfully.
Xu Qian thinks this set is quite fun, but it's just a little troublesome!
I didn't expect that on today's day of worship, there are so many Hong Kong media!
It can be said that the lineup of the three emperors, the second queen and the first Xu Qian is very sensational even in Hong Kong!
Especially after the new century, there are very few such lineups!
Except for some films such as charity and disaster relief, it is rare to have such a strong lineup!
Moreover, Xu Qian's films have a really wide audience in Hong Kong, and the youth trilogy has repeatedly improved the film history of the mainland!
And the kung fu film "Ip Man" has set off a climax of kung fu movies in Hong Kong!
What's more, Xu Qian still has so many high-quality songs that have been circulated in Hong Kong, it can be said that Xu Qian's popularity in Hong Kong is very high, and he is the idol of many teenagers!
His outstanding appearance, peerless talent and inscrutable bottom line have made him well-known in Hong Kong!
Therefore, when I heard that he held a ceremony to worship the gods at the foot of the Lion Rock, many reporters came to hear the news, just like a bee smelling honey!
Xu Qian is also very careful with these reporters!
Because he's always heard of Hong Kong journalists!
The title "paparazzi" seems to be the original name of a Hong Kong reporter!
If it is said that there is no lower limit for mainland reporters, and there is no need for Bilian, then Hong Kong reporters are even better!
Since these reporters are here, Xu Qian can't drive them all away, and he won't hit the smiling people!
And these journalists are uncrowned kings, and it's not good to offend them!
"May I ask Director Xu, are you preparing to shoot a new movie?"
A reporter began to ask!
"Yes, it's a cop movie!"
Xu Qian replied!
"I heard that you have invited many Hong Kong stars to this film, so is this film a Hong Kong film? Or is it a mainland film?"
A reporter asked!
This is a very acute question!
It can be said that a large part of Hong Kong people have always adhered to regional protection, that is, to preserve the characteristics of Hong Kong films!
For those actors who have fled the mainland, the director regards them as traitors!
It is precisely because of this that Brother Long is not treated well by Hong Kong people, and the box office of Brother Long's movies in Hong Kong in recent years has not been very high!
You must know that it is Brother Long, a real international superstar, and even the only superstar in China who really has a strong influence in the world!
Brother Long was also the pride of Hong Kong people at his peak, but because he said that after developing in the mainland, he was shown by many people to be a traitor!
Xu Qian felt that some Hong Kong people were too obsessed with the word "Hong Kong"!
At the peak of Hong Kong films, although the shooting was a little rough, the content was very down-to-earth, and the whimsy continued.
And now the over-obsession with regional protection is overkill, and the picture is more refined than before, but the film shot is not as good as a year!
In Xu Qian's mind, if it is not broken, it will not stand, and then the cube will be the right way!
In this way, you have been obsessed with "protection", but you will lose your position step by step, and find that the scope of your protection is getting smaller and smaller!
Xu Qian replied: "Of course I shoot Hong Kong films!"
The reporter was overjoyed to hear this answer!
Then I heard Xu Qian say again: "Of course, I also make mainland movies!"
"Everyone is Chinese, what Hong Kong films, mainland movies?
Xu Gan's answer can be said to be impeccable, although it will make some people unhappy, but he is on the side of the majority!
That's political correctness, and that's exactly what he thinks!
Of course, Hong Kong films should retain some Hong Kong characteristics and Hong Kong culture, Xu Qian also agrees with this, but it is overkill to be overentangled and pay too much attention to this!
And the times are developing, the characteristics of the previous Hong Kong films do not represent the characteristics of the current Hong Kong films, and the characteristics of the previous Hong Kong films do not represent the characteristics of the current Hong Kong films!
Look ahead!
If you have been resting on your laurels and only clinging to the glory of the past, you will sooner or later be eliminated and submerged by the times.
A reporter asked again: "Why do you start to worship God under the Lion Rock?"
Xu Qian said: "Because I admire the Hong Kong people very much, and the spirit of the Hong Kong people is the spirit of Lion Rock!"
This sentence has won the favor of many journalists!
No matter how "paparazzi" they are, they still like the "Lion Rock Spirit" very much, which can be said to be an unshakable spirit rooted in the minds of Hong Kong people!
Just like Confucianism is to us!
Don't look at the fact that we have to defeat Confucius over the years, in fact, Confucianism has never disappeared, it has been integrated into our thoughts and into our lives!
Like what "quiet people"!
"Take a step back and open the sky!"
These are all Confucian influences!
Confucius is really a saint!
Even if it is the positive energy that we want to talk about now, it is actually the "benevolence" of Confucianism!
"And how do you see the spirit of Lion Rock from your perspective?"
A reporter asked!
This is a tricky question, because the spirit of Lion Rock can be said to be a symbol of the spirit of Hong Kong people!
If Xu Qian's "praise" is not good, then he will poke the hornet's nest and really offend a large number of people!
Xu Qian said: "Then I'll use a song to express it!"
