Chapter 405: Film Cultural Exchange
Lin Jianyue's psychology is similar to Mo Fei's judgment, the more Mo Fei advises him to be cautious and careful, the more he thinks that Mo Fei is wary of him, and he is afraid that the calm situation in the film industry will be broken by outsiders.
Now Hong Kong's film market is extremely hot, movies have become a major way for citizens to entertain in their leisure time, and the annual box office is even more vigorous, and there are not a few people who are eyeing this cake.
But it's not so easy to make a movie, no matter who wants to make a movie, they have to have their own team, and they have to be competitive, otherwise under the strong squeeze of Phoenix Culture, Golden Harvest, and Golden Princess, there is only a dead end.
But it's too difficult to have a good lineup, and now all the actors who can be counted in Hong Kong are pinched by these three companies, and the same is true for good directors, screenwriters, etc., and other cinematographers, editors, and other talents are even more caught by them.
In addition, the Hong Kong Film Industry Association and the Performing Artists Association are also firmly controlled by them, and even the right to speak and the production strength are all monopolized by that small group.
So if you want to get a piece of the film market, the only feasible way is the theater chain. Cinemas don't need professionals related to film production, as long as they can do a good job of business, it's still easy to make money first. Just like Anle Cinema Line, which basically does not cooperate with local film companies in Hong Kong, and specializes in buying Western films to show, it can still make money, and even do well.
To say that Lin Jianyue is not the kind of rich son who is a pure fool, he grew up in that kind of family. It will not be worse than the average person. He wants to engage in a cinema not only to stimulate or hit, but also to really want to make some achievements to show his father, the Lin family's industry is not small. The old man is over seventy years old, and it is time to think about competing for the successor position.
In other words, the Lin family is really very distinctive, with Hong Kong characteristics and their own characteristics. The old man Lin Baixin has a total of four wives and concubines, Lin Jianyue is the eldest son of the second aunt, and there is also the eldest son of the wife of the main house above him, that is, the eldest of the Lin family's generation; There is also a nephew of Lin Baixin. Lin Jianyue's cousin also has a bit of a knife sharpening meaning, and the competition is not fierce.
Although Lin Jianyue's mother is Lin Baixin's favorite concubine, the old man also loves Lin Jianyue very much. But the wife of the main house is still there, and they can't go too far, so when it's time to compete, they still have to show some ability.
Real estate in Hong Kong is now seeing a slight improvement. But the participants are all super large. Lin Jianyue is not so confident in wrestling with super large enterprises such as Yangtze River, Hongkong Land, and Swire, and no matter how big the Lin family is, it is not enough for others to stuff their teeth.
The retail industry is now also controlled by some old giants, such as Wharf and so on, which is also far from being provoked by the Lin family, and the retail industry is too slow to take effect. As for the manufacturing industry, Lin Gongzi doesn't have the patience to play at present; It is not clear what other financial industries there are. The service industry can make money, and the money comes relatively quickly. However, Hong Kong is a relatively small city, and it may not be able to develop very quickly. And there are not always good opportunities right now.
After thinking about a lot of industries, Lin Jianyue finally set his goal in the entertainment industry, as long as the old man in the family can give enough financial support, it is still very easy to make this kind of money, and by the way, he can also satisfy his selfish desires, and it is also in line with his own young master's style, which is really a good business.
So Lin Jianyue began to work quietly, unknowingly rented a few buildings with a good location, and contacted a professional company in Japan for overall operation, and now there are four movie theaters under renovation.
Mo Fei is even more hidden than him, so of course Lin Jianyue doesn't know that Phoenix Culture's own theater will soon start business. In his opinion, they insist on pressing the development of the theater chain, the purpose is to make the audience's needs unmet, so that they will show how powerful they are, and try to create a situation where supply exceeds demand, which is extremely beneficial to them.
Because once the original development is too violent, it is likely to cause instability within their group, and it is easy for outsiders to get in. These people regard the Hong Kong film market as their own ATM, and of course they don't want to be touched by outsiders, how can Lin Dagongzi let them get their way.
Now it is a good persuasion to show all the disadvantages of running a theater, but not to mention the benefits of running a theater, Lin Jianyue's contempt for Mo Fei is even more serious. The heart said, do you really think I'm a fool, I can't tell what's right and what's wrong, and it's not good if you say it's bad?
However, he will also be a little cautious, it is impossible for Mo Fei to know in advance that he is going to engage in a theater, otherwise it will give them a chance to take advantage of it if he is exposed in advance, Lin Dagongzi is smart.
Nodding his head and applying more solemnly, he said: "It turns out that it is so complicated to engage in a cinema, if you don't say it, Mr. Mo, I am really ready to dive into it, it seems that my idea is indeed a little inappropriate, so I should wait and see about it." Okay, Mr. Mo, you're busy, I'll talk to other friends a few more words. β
Watching Lin Xiaopang leave "discouraged", a little smugness flashed in Mo Fei's eyes, although he didn't know that Lin Jianyue had already started to engage in cinemas, but he could also be sure that at least after today, Lin Xiaopang would definitely be determined to engage in cinemas, and it would be great if there were more such people.
"What is that kid doing, it looks like there's a story?" Mo Fei was thinking about how to celebrate this when he went home at night, and Liao Yiyuan's voice came from behind, he knew that Mo Fei was celebrating the festival with Lin Xiaopang, and when he saw that the two of them didn't have a fire just now, he always felt that something was wrong, so he came over to ask, and he also had something to say to Mo Fei.
"It's nothing, it's just that he wants to commit suicide, and I can't stop it." Mo Fei turned around and touched Liao Yiyuan's wine glass, probably told Liao Yiyuan about what happened just now.
Liao Yiyuan couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "This Lin Gongzi is really naΓ―ve, if you want to say that Lin Bo is such a shrewd person, his son will not be bad." Even if the interlacing is like a mountain, it will not be so reckless. Or is your guidance working, if you tell him that it is very profitable to run a theater. He is welcome to do this business, and I guess he won't rush into it. β
For Mo Fei, Liao Yiyuan is very concerned, and this is also one of the tasks given to him by China. Although it is said that the agreement between the two countries has been signed, and the return to the motherland is not a matter of time, Hong Kong's society needs stability, and there are many things that the government cannot do. It is necessary for some well-known people in society to stand up and help.
As a pivotal figure in Hong Kong's entertainment industry, and an emerging force in the past two years, it is very suitable for the country's selection conditions. Liao Yiyuan's current task is. While observing, Mo Fei will carry out some necessary wooing, and when necessary, he can also communicate on behalf of the official.
Therefore, many of Mo Fei's behaviors will become the basis for Liao Yiyuan's judgment. Just like the attitude and handling method of Lin Jianyue just now, Liao Yiyuan can clearly see it. This guy is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. Don't look at how well you usually behave. Most of the time, he is also very righteous, and he can maintain enough public spirit; But if you really want to provoke him, your heart is dark when you should start, isn't Lin Gongzi going to the pit along the culvert that Mo Fei dug to make up for it.
and the matter of Sing Tao Daily some time ago, Liao Yiyuan was the most concerned. At the beginning, Mo Fei always took an attitude of ignoring it, and then Hu Xenon went too far, and he would take the most violent means to deal with it directly. Didn't you see that not a single reporter from Sing Tao Newspaper appeared today, needless to say, I know. This kid has already done something to Sing Tao Newspaper, and the effect is quite good.
And it's because of that. Liao Yiyuan's understanding of Mo Fei is basically completely defined, at least an object that can be wooed. Speaking of the worst, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and the Sing Tao newspaper is very bad with the country, and it still uses the era name of the Republic of China.
From the moment Lin Jian got closer to Mo Fei, Jude Gen and Lin Baixin's attention was always focused on this side, one was expectation, the other was worry, and the conversation with other guests was absent-minded.
Seeing that Lin Jianyue and Mo Fei didn't talk for a few minutes, they left very boringly, and they almost got cold in the middle several times, and Jude Gen's heart that was about to soar to his throat was also put down a lot, and the communication between the two people didn't seem to be so pleasant.
Although Lin Baixin is over seventy years old, the word dizziness is definitely not used on him, especially the expression when Mo Fei and Liao Yiyuan communicated with Lin Jianyue after leaving, it was obviously that he was very unhappy with Lin Jianyue before but had the upper hand.
This made Lin Baixin more and more depressed, it stands to reason that everyone is young, and it will be more pleasant to communicate, but why is this the case.
Put down Jude Gen and Lin Baixin, one secretly cooled and the other held their breath, and said that Liao Yiyuan and Mo Fei chatted a few more words about the movies that were about to be released recently and the films for ATV, and exchanged about the things that were then put into Southeast Asia and Japan and other markets.
I think that today is also a good opportunity to promote each other, so I just put a signal to Mo Fei to try, and thought about the reason: "Phoenix Culture seems to be paying attention to the development of the North American market now, does Mr. Mo have the idea to focus on North America, and what plans are Hong Kong companies going to do next?" β
I didn't expect Liao Yiyuan to ask these questions, and I also knew that he was the official representative, and more lost owners were finally regulated, and land grabbing was not within the scope of basic business, and it was more appropriate to say hello to Liao Yiyuan in advance.
Shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, and said with a smile: "Recently, I have indeed paid more attention to the development of the North American market, after all, North America is the largest box office base in the world and the most developed region in the film industry, and there are many things that will be easier to carry out there." I really wish that one day our own film industry could develop to the top level, and we don't have to work on other people's turf, that would be great.
The base camp of Hong Kong's phoenix culture, although insignificant compared to the profits of North America, is indispensable, at least until there is a larger base, this position must not be lost. Maybe after the return, I hope that the mainland side can come up with more advantageous conditions, and we people can also play in our own homes, and strive to catch up with the level of Europe and the United States in our lifetime. β
I don't know what Liao Yiyuan is going to say, and it doesn't prevent him from coming up with his own problems, with his understanding of the domestic situation, Sister Leo, some official things are not as much as Liao Yiyuan, but in some other aspects, they are far from being comparable to Liao Yiyuan, but he has more than 30 years of experience ahead of him.
If you really have to wait until you come back to do something. Then you don't have to do anything, there are still more than ten years to return, which means that this is just for Liao Yiyuan to hear. If possible, I hope he will convey these words.
There is a big difference between China and Europe and the United States, and everything has to be done a lot more cumbersomely, especially this kind of business involving cultural communication, which is quite strictly controlled.
Of course, he didn't forget to add a fire to Liao Yiyuan, and by the way, he could be regarded as sending an invitation in advance. said: "No matter what, Hong Kong is an old nest, and I can't care about it." Therefore, Phoenix Culture set the business address of its first cinema chain in Hong Kong. It will open soon, on the twelfth of the next month, when there will be a ceremony and a movie will be released on the same day. Mr. Liao must come to cheer. β
"Oh. Phoenix Culture's cinema? You've done a good job of secrecy, it's going to open for business soon, and no one has heard the slightest rumor, so I'm not the first to know, right? Liao Yiyuan was surprised by this matter, and at the same time felt that Mo Fei was so meticulous and meticulous in his work, he was indeed a very suitable candidate.
First of all, the first point, Liao Yiyuan is very stable with Phoenix culture, as long as there is a good script and team. Movies can be shot anywhere, but theaters don't have legs. After it is built, it can only be placed there, and Phoenix Culture can operate a cinema chain in Hong Kong, which means that they will not leave Hong Kong.
The second is the work of secrecy, if he can cooperate with the domestic official, no matter whether others can see it or not, he cannot be different because of this, and some things cannot be said to be unrevealed. Just like Hong Kong has cooperated with big giants in China before, but I have never heard any news of what they have taken the initiative to say, and it seems that Murphy can also do it. Just like the young master Lin just now, he thought he was hiding a very secret, but in fact, he had already been seen through by others, and this kind of person would definitely not be used.
With a higher level of understanding of Mo Fei in his heart, Liao Yiyuan was even more confident in what would happen next, and after congratulating Mo Fei again, he said: "Speaking of a new movie to be released, I really have something to tell you here, so it's better to talk to you briefly now." β
"Mr. Liao, please speak!" Liao Yiyuan didn't know what he was going to say, and he didn't guess, in short, it shouldn't be a bad thing, otherwise Liao Yiyuan's expression wouldn't be what it is now.
Liao Yiyuan looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he said: "That's the case, Phoenix Culture has developed very rapidly in the past two years, and it has also won a lot of awards in the international limelight, which has earned us a lot of money in the Chinese film industry." Now the top of the country is also very concerned about Phoenix culture, after some leaders have seen some of your films, they feel that they can further cooperate with Hong Kong companies in this regard, and put forward a proposal to introduce and not release Hong Kong films in China, and now the number is preliminarily set at five.
Now the most representative of Hong Kong movies is Phoenix culture, you plan to see which ones are suitable for domestic release, and then let's meet again to decide. What's more, the film "Farewell My Concubine" must be included, which is personally designated by the old head of the high-level, and whether to do a second edit depends on the final opinion above. Then there is the domestic side, and I also hope to release some domestic films in Hong Kong on a larger scale, to promote the progressive ideas of the country and keep pace with the times, and at the same time, it can also play a role in mutual contact and integration of each other's cultures. β
It is not surprising that Hong Kong films have been introduced in China, and a lot have been introduced over the years, such as "Qu Yuan", "Bus Adventure and Good Relationship" and the like are not very few, but most of those films are made by Phoenix Productions and Great Wall Productions related to Yindu, and there are very few films that are really completely produced in Hong Kong, including the latest "North and South Shaolin" are all cooperative films.
What really surprised Mo Fei was Liao Yiyuan's attitude, or the attitude of China, which allowed a company to provide five films for domestic release at one time, and one was designated by the top management, but this kind of thing had never happened before.
Speaking of "Farewell My Concubine", a film that involves content that is not acceptable to the current domestic society, it is not so strange that it can be designated as the film introduced into China for release this time, because although this film appeared a few years earlier, the path it can take is not much different from the previous life.
I remember very well the nineties in my previous life. is also for the release of this film in China, and the relevant units have not been able to make up their minds, some are in favor and some are against. In the end, it was the big boss at the top who spoke, and it was determined that it would be released in China, and now it seems that it should be the old man who made the decision.
It's not that he doesn't understand anything, he wasn't surprised by this matter at this time, that would only make people feel that he was unstable, and now what he has to think about is to get the complete "Farewell My Concubine" to be released in China, which is more important in comparison.
It's just that this is not the place to talk about at this time. There are also things that must be said. First, saying it late will make people think that he said it after thinking about it, which is not conducive to establishing a positive image of him; On the other hand, he does not want to dominate this opportunity out of his heart, and Hong Kong films want to continue to develop. You can't let Phoenix Culture monopolize the benefits, and everyone has to share resources to play a real role in promoting.
Anyway, this matter of giving his own advantage to others to take advantage of, Mo Fei didn't hesitate, and went directly: "Mr. Liao." I have an idea about this. I hope you can help convey it. It is indeed a great thing to be able to introduce more Hong Kong films to China, but if this matter is only participated by Phoenix Culture, it will be detached from its essence. So I think it's better to take out two of these five films for Princess Jin and Golden Harvest, and I can't guarantee the films of other small companies, but you also know about these two companies, Mr. Liao. If there is no Phoenix Culture, they are the Taishan Beidou of the Hong Kong film industry. Even now, there are many places that are better than Phoenix culture. β
To tell the truth, Liao Yiyuan really didn't expect that he would be able to be so bold and magnificent, and directly take out two of the five films to other companies, you must know that peers are enemies, although they are still cooperating now, but who knows what will happen in the future, not to mention that Phoenix Culture's own theater is also about to be launched, and there will be more competition in the future, so he is not worried.
Out of a responsible attitude towards Mo Fei, Liao Yiyuan still decided to persuade him, and said: "Mr. Mo is really righteous, he can give such a good opportunity to a company that is likely to be a competitor in the future, if everyone can do the same thing as you, the world will be really quiet." But I still want to remind you, if you treat them like this now, can you guarantee that they will do the same to you in the future, the competition will become more and more fierce in the future, and the shopping mall is like a battlefield, and there is no mercy on the battlefield. β
"Thank you Mr. Liao for your concern, but I still decided to do it, Phoenix Culture has three films to be released in China." Mo Fei could hear the taste of concern from Liao Yiyuan's words, but this was really not something he needed to worry about, and said: "The first thing people need in the rivers and lakes is to abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes. Even if others still do that, if Phoenix Culture doesn't do this, it has the qualification to speak, which is very necessary. β
That's what he said on the face, but in fact, he didn't care about this matter, even if there were opinions and various companies appeared, he could let a film go out, this kind of thing could only be good for him and Phoenix Culture, and at least he couldn't see the disadvantages.
To tell the truth, the films of Phoenix Culture are all big productions, many of them have won awards, and some are international awards, as long as the audience has seen it, they will understand whose film is better, and after a long time, they will form a kind of statement and understanding that is not certain but recognized, and the production of Phoenix Culture represents a good film.
And Princess Jin and Jiahe are really far from this realm, with their strength, they can be the boss in the original history. Now that I meet Mo Fei, who is hanging, I only have to drink soup behind me, and if I want to resist and want to get on top, I have to see if I have the ability. As long as there is a day, let alone surpassing the Phoenix culture, even if it is to catch up with the Phoenix culture, it can only be an assumption.
Being able to take the film to China for release is something that Mo Fei has been pondering for a long time, the movie must not make any money when it is released in China, it is good to be able to mean it, what you want is influence, where is the influence of Phoenix Culture in the domestic audience. As long as this kind of influence is established, when the time is ripe, Phoenix culture will become synonymous with good movies, and the future prospects are infinitely good, and it is completely worth exchanging for a small profit.
With such a thing, I am not interested in anything else. Staying up until it was over, he said hello to Jude Gen to leave first. Of course, before leaving, I won't forget to inform you of the news of the opening of the Phoenix Cinema Line, and ask Jude Gen to definitely go to the show or something. Judegen, of course, promised that it would definitely arrive.
asked Mo Fei what happened to Lin Jianyue just now, Mo Fei didn't hide it, this can be regarded as a reassuring pill for Jude Gen to take a miraculous curative effect. Take 10,000 steps back, even if the Lin family gets ATV from him, then don't think about getting Mo Fei's help, it's okay if you don't cheat them.
Even Jude Gen was wondering if everything was suitable. There is a chance that you can consider selling ATV for a good price. He knows the foundation of the Lin family very well, their methods are not so clean, and they really want to play some kind of routine. I'm afraid it's really hard to deal with it, so let's go with the flow.
In other words, after Mo Fei left the compaction, he first arranged for someone to send Honami home, and he himself went to the company with Liao Yiyuan to discuss the exchange with domestic films. This is a serious matter. After doing a good job, the benefits should not be too much.
For the three films that Phoenix Culture has been released in China, in addition to the already formulated "Farewell My Concubine", Mo Fei recommended "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", "Taiping Mountain", and "The Silence of the Lambs" for Liao Yiyuan to choose.
The first is an inspirational film, the theme is positive enough, and the ending is close to dreamlike beauty. But it can also reflect from the side that capitalism is not as perfect as imagined, and there are many hard and bitter stories that happen in many corners, and there are many people who can't afford to eat. Let the domestic audience understand the differences of capitalist society through films.
To be honest, this is also Mo Fei's psychology at work. He is very unhappy that many people in China worship foreigners so much that even Hong Kong people look up to them, and I believe that this movie can also let many domestic audiences understand that there are many refugees in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is definitely not only full of gold, Hong Kong men will also be poor to that extent. If you can inspire one, it's enough, it's enough to do your best, sometimes one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer, and others are really hard to say.
The second is a film about beautiful love, those who don't like it feel like flowing water, and those who can understand it will sigh, and it can also show various problems in Hong Kong society from some sides.
Needless to say, the Oscar-winning work for Best Foreign Language Film, having such a title is enough to explain a lot of problems. There is also a description of the dark side of Hong Kong society in the content, but this is even if it is related to Hong Kong society, and it is unwilling to make Hong Kong stink in the hearts of domestic audiences.
How could Liao Yiyuan have thought that Mo Fei's body was a future soul from China, of course, it was impossible to know that Mo Fei would have this kind of thought, and for some reasons related to the relationship of likelihood, he was thinking about how to show the strength of Phoenix Culture.
In the end, Liao Yiyuan still chose the more inspiring "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and "The Silence of the Lambs", which has a big enough face, to recommend; "Taiping Mountain" is indeed good, but there are too many things that reflect capitalist liberalization, this is a matter of consciousness, and he can't ignore it, even if he reports it, it is not certain whether there is a problem in the end.
Liao Yiyuan also mentioned the Chinese New Year film "Party A and Party B", which is happy enough and closer to the taste of domestic audiences, and it will definitely be very popular if it is taken to China.
But Mo Fei really disagreed, saying that the film actually did not represent Hong Kong, it was more like a film produced in China, this time it was a cultural exchange through film, and what was wanted was to reflect the essence, otherwise it would mislead the audience.
As for the films that were brought to Hong Kong in China, since Liao Yiyuan said it, then as a person who has come over, and is a very knowledgeable person who has come over, and a person who has no bureaucratic consciousness and is very knowledgeable, of course he will give his own suggestions.
Mo Fei gave a list of six films, namely "Camel Xiangzi", "September", "Zhang's Young Grandmother", "Female College Student Dormitory", "Border City", and "Golden Monkey Descending Demons". These six films are enough to represent the current situation of domestic society, and can play a positive role, so that Hong Kong audiences can look at the mainland with the right eyes, instead of a sense of superiority, which is out of the purpose of communication.
The starting point for choosing these six films is also very positive, first of all, "Camel Xiangzi", starring Zhang Fengyi and Si Qin Gaowa, Zhang Fengyi's outstanding performance in "Farewell My Concubine" has been recognized by the audience, and Si Qin Gaowa won the Best Actress Award at last year's Hong Kong Film Awards for her outstanding performance in "Like Water". The good relationship with Yan Hao, the contracted director of Phoenix Culture, is also one of the reasons for consideration. Moreover, the original work of the film is the famous Mr. Lao She, and it is also about the mess in the old society, which is easy to arouse the audience's hatred for that era. Correspondingly, I am much happier now.
"September" is the work of the young domestic director Tian Zhuangxiang for eighty-four years, and the content tells the story of an old teacher in the Children's Palace and about youth education. It can show the Hong Kong audience a good way to show what teachers in China are like, not the scene they imagined to carry a basket with children in the basket and wear shabby clothes to give a lecture. And there is also a section in the film where a student before the teacher is about to be released from prison, hoping to see the teacher pick him up. The teacher went but couldn't recognize the student he hadn't seen for years, and the student left indifferently, but the teacher was still waiting for his student to come out. This kind of teacher ethics in the 80s is not only for Hong Kong people, but also for teachers in the 21st century.
"The Young Grandmother of the Zhang Family" tells a story about the petty bourgeoisie. said that after a long period of turmoil, a large number of former industrialists and businessmen were violently impacted, and Ouyang Ruili, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, also had to change the life of the original young grandmother. Household chores. He also helps with children. I worked as a temporary worker in the production team of the lane. Her sister-in-law Zhang Wenying was forced to go to the countryside and became ill due to stimulation, and Ruili worked hard to take care of Wenying's illness. After the promulgation of the new policy, the stolen materials of the Zhang family were returned, and their lives were on the same path as before, but the sister-in-law who had recovered from her illness had a new conflict with her sister-in-law. Many Hong Kong people come from the mainland, and they still have a lot of impressions of the mainland, and this film can be used as good evidence in combination with some audiences. Let's talk about what the people of the mainland are like, and the economically developed cities are not necessarily much worse than Hong Kong. Another point. It can also let many Hong Kong people who are worried understand what the domestic policy is like now and what it may look like in the future.
"Female College Student Dormitory" is a youthful and lively film, the story revolves around several female classmates who have just entered the university in the 205 dormitory of a university in the early 80s. Xingan was pampered by his parents in a privileged family environment since he was a child, and he was very willful. Song Ge is a class cadre, she respects teachers and disciplines, loves labor, but she lacks trust and enthusiasm for comrades in her heart. Xia Yu is timid and simple, with the temperament of a poet. Luo Xuemei, who is from the countryside, has a gentle and kind personality. Five classmates from different families and different environments live together like this, and it is certain that there are various conflicts, but after getting acquainted with each other and understanding each other, several people finally established a friendship behind them and became real classmates. In other words, this film is absolutely youthful, this kind of content can never be found in Hong Kong, just the campus of that kind of environment is enough for the guys in the Hong Kong brand ivory tower to drink a pot.
"Border City" is not quite the same as other films, the film is adapted from a domestic novel of the same name, which is about the love entanglement between the granddaughter of Feng Hanyuan, an old boatman in a small mountain village in Xiangxi Province, and the two sons of the boat owner in the early years of the Republic of China. While showing the customs and beautiful natural scenery through the lens, it also deeply explores the traditional human ethics of the Chinese nation, revealing the constraints and tragedies caused by the ignorant ideas of feudal backwardness. An absolute romantic work, it cannot be said that it is unique in domestic films in this period, and it is also an extremely rare type, according to Mo Fei's vision, at least the photographer definitely has international standards, and it is very beautiful in the 21st century, and there are really few Hong Kong films that can play this level.
The last "Golden Monkey Descends the Demon" is an animated film, based on the clip of "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" in "Journey to the West", I don't remember that this film has won two at the Bourbolas Cultural Club Youth Animation Film Festival and the Chicago International Children's Film Festival, so it is also recommended that it is best to take a full version of 150 minutes, so that Hong Kong audiences can see what quality of the cartoons they think are in backward areas, and Hong Kong really can't play this kind of thing.
The six films are listed, some of which show the humanities, society, economy and other aspects of the country, and some of which show the skills of the film industry, in short, it can definitely let most Hong Kong audiences understand a country that they have not seen before, it is really well-intentioned. (To be continued......)
