"What do the newspapers say?" Qiu Shuzhen took two cups of brewed coffee and sat down next to Lin Youlun.

Lin Youlun took the coffee and took a sip, "There is good news and bad news!" ”

Qiu Shuzhen put her hands on Lin Youlun's shoulders and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Lin Youlun lowered his head and was about to take another sip of coffee, but his gaze involuntarily stopped at Qiu Shuzhen's low neckline revealing a large area of whiteness and a charming deep ditch sandwiched between two towering mountain peaks.

Lin Youlun coughed and said, "Is the neckline of this dress a little low!" ”

Qiu Shuzhen was stunned for a moment, and then her face was dyed with a flush.

"If you don't like it, I won't wear it in the future."

"No, I like it!" Lin Youlun reached out and pinched Qiu Shuzhen's chin, "However, this skirt can only be worn for me, and you are not allowed to wear it so revealingly outside." ”

"Okay, people don't wear it out!" Qiu Shuzhen pushed Lin Youlun angrily, "You haven't told me what the newspaper says!" ”

Lin Youlun put down the coffee cup, reached out and put his hand around Qiu Shuzhen's shoulder, and then spread out the newspaper in his hand in front of her.

"You're in the headlines!"

Qiu Shuzhen looked at Lin Youlun's finger, and sure enough, she saw that the most eye-catching black title on the front page was her photo on the red carpet of the awards ceremony.

Qiu Shuzhen became the most watched actress at last night's Academy Awards ceremony with her outstandingly designed sexy short skirt, and even surpassed Liu Jialing, who won the actress crown.

Lin Youlun turned his head to look at Qiu Shuzhen and said with a smile: "How about it, I give you half of the credit for the dress!" ”

Qiu Shuzhen pouted. He raised his head unhappily and said, "You're embarrassed to say it." The skirt that people like so much. I was torn by you last night, no, you have to accompany me again to look better. ”

Lin Youlun shrugged helplessly, when he was passionate last night, out of some kind of "evil" habit, he had to let Qiu Shuzhen wear that short skirt, but he played too high in the back and accidentally tore his clothes.

"Okay. When you have time, go to the store and measure it again, and I'll ask them to make another one for you! ”

"You'll know you're the best."

Qiu Shuzhen put her arms around Lin Youlun's neck and kissed him on the face, before picking up the newspaper and looking down.

"There seems to be some controversy about Andy's award!"

Lin Youlun leaned on the back of the sofa, picked up the coffee cup and said: "Andy is popular now, and the media doesn't dare to risk offending his fans and saying too many bad things about him." If you look down, it's too much to evaluate Liu Jialing. ”

"What, I actually pulled you and her together!"

Qiu Shuzhen saw what Lin Youlun said, and put the newspaper away angrily, just about to stop reading it. But suddenly, as if he remembered something, he turned his head to look at Lin Youlun and asked, "You won't really ...... with her?"

Lin Youlun is drinking coffee. I almost choked when I heard this.

"Please, she and Wei Zai have been rumored to be married a few times, and the two of them have such a good relationship, how can I have a relationship with her."

"That's right!" Qiu Shuzhen nodded.

Lin Youlun glanced at the newspaper in Qiu Shuzhen's hand, "You don't understand, the media made a fuss about her winning the award and pulled these on me, which is actually insinuating some political things." ”

Liu Jialing's award-winning "Chicken and Duck Love" is just a bland story about the love of a pair of people in the "special services industry", and Liu Jialing's winning of the Best Actress at the Academy Awards for this movie will not cause such a big criticism from the media.

Townspeople, people from the bottom of society, prostitutes, killers, these are all common protagonists in Hong Kong movies, and they all belong to the marginalized groups of the city.

In "Chicken and Duck Love", Liu Jialing plays a prostitute, and her identity is set as a mainland girl, which is probably one of the reasons why the director considered finding Liu Jialing to play the heroine, because the heroine's experience has many similarities with Liu Jialing.

In the film, Liu Jialing was stolen as soon as she arrived in Hong Kong, and she was so hungry that she wanted to eat free noodles, but she couldn't eat them because her Cantonese was not standard.

Liu Jialing's scene of reciting a string of words with her non-standard Cantonese pronunciation is very similar to the past when she debuted in Hong Kong and was ridiculed because Cantonese was not good. In fact, this is not that the director is deliberately ugly, but the film's exaggeration of the artistry of reality, before the 90s, most people who went to Hong Kong from the mainland went through a difficult process of hard work.

Especially in the late 70s and early 80s, there was a time when it was very popular to swim from the other side of the river to Hong Kong, thinking that it was full of gold and that you could live a good life and make a fortune when you came, but the reality was not always so good.

A line in "Chicken and Duck Love" breaks through the essence of Hong Kong society.

"In Hong Kong, if you have money, you have to be rich, and if you don't have money, you have to be rich!"

So in the film, Liu Jialing started working as a regular waitress in a hotel, and was ridiculed because she had no money, and such a social environment can easily make a woman embark on that despicable industry in this drunken city. Because even if you are engaged in a disgraceful profession, as long as you have money, others will be respectful to you wherever you go. This kind of life, at least on the surface, seems to make people feel more self-respecting.

It is precisely because of this that in the plot, Liu Jialing asked Ren Dahua to train her to become a senior call girl, and Ren Dahua said at that time: "To do this business is to sell your body, self-esteem, and love." ”

At the beginning, Liu Jialing didn't know the seriousness of Lu Dao's sentence, and still entered this circle, so there was the tear-jerking line "I don't want to betray love" later.

Any viewer who watches a movie actually wants to get a fairy tale, even if the director uses the most clumsy means to tell the audience something that is absolutely impossible, but in the 90 minutes of the movie, many people still want to believe that all this is true.

If "Chicken and Duck Love" just gave the audience a fairy tale that is absolutely impossible to happen, then this movie will definitely not reach the level of winning awards in Lin Youlun's eyes. So at the end of the film, when Ren Dahua realized that he had fallen in love with Liu Jialing and went crazy to find Liu Jialing, the audience's mentality should be very complicated, on the one hand, they hope that Liu Jialing and the children of a rich family with a successful career can live a happy and sweet Cinderella life, and on the other hand, they hope that Ren Dahua and Liu Jialing can have lovers and become married.

The screenwriter cleverly designed such a simple way to choose one of the two, so that "Chicken and Duck Love" can not only let the audience experience the romantic love in the fairy tale, but also pull the whole plot back to a realistic height.

According to the general Hong Kong films, the ending of the film should be Ren Dahua and Liu Jialing together, because in reality, Liu Jialing fell in love with the rich son Xu Jinheng to the point of talking about marriage, but at the end of the day, he stepped on the air, so the audience naturally thought that the same plot should appear in the movie.

But the screenwriter didn't do this, and the character played by Ren Dahua is not a selfish person, he will not only think about his love, but let Liu Jialing give up the good life that he got after hard work. So there was a plot in which Ren Dahua chose to turn himself into a clown in order to fulfill Liu Jialing's Cinderella-style marriage, and became everyone's laughing stock in public.

Such an ending is precisely the true portrayal of Hong Kong society, no matter how beautiful love is, it can't match the cruelty of reality after all, and in a city like Hong Kong, which advocates the supremacy of money, Liu Jialing's choice also represents the thoughts of many Hong Kong women.

If Liu Jialing's role was not set as a mainland girl in the film, maybe this would be a movie that was unanimously praised by everyone, but because of Liu Jialing's identity in and out of the play, some people felt very uncomfortable.

Cinderella's story is certainly touching, but if this Cinderella's identity is not recognized, then the situation will become the current rhetoric in the media.

The media questioned Liu Jialing winning the Academy Award, but they were actually questioning whether her identity should win this award.

Some people even bluntly pointed out that the Academy Awards awarded the award to Liu Jialing this time, just like the 84 Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, which made Xie Ning from the mainland the champion of Miss Hong Kong, just to curry favor with the mainland.

Although Qiu Shuzhen doesn't know much about this, as a woman next to Lin Youlun, she knows very well what kind of attitude Lin Youlun has towards the mainland.

"So what the newspapers say is true?" Qiu Shuzhen pointed to an article in the newspaper and asked cautiously.

Lin Youlun shrugged, "I said no, do you believe it?" ”

Qiu Shuzhen nodded firmly.

"But others don't believe it!" Lin Youlun smiled a little helplessly, although he hinted that the jury had let Liu Jialing win the award, and there was no consideration in this regard, but it could not prevent the media from speculating like this.

Qiu Shuzhen was a little worried, "Will this matter have any impact on you?" ”

"Five or six years ago there might have been some trouble, but that's no longer the case." Lin Youlun shook his head and signaled that Qiu Shuzhen didn't have to worry.

After the return to the motherland became a foregone conclusion, the Hong Kong people also began to accept foreigners helplessly, on the one hand, they were amazed by their hardships and hard work, and on the other hand, they looked down on their vulgarity, but an unchangeable fact is that the renminbi on the other side of the strait has become more and more a hard currency, and Hong Kong people look down on mainlanders, but they have to begin to face up to the existence of mainlanders.

Liu Jialing became the queen of the Academy Awards, to a certain extent, it is also a reflection of Hong Kong people's attitude towards mainlanders, so no matter how fierce some people's words are, there will be no change in the fact that it has become a foregone conclusion. (To be continued......)
