Chapter 213: Chinese Film

After watching the movie like this, it's just time to have dinner, and it's not too late to go home, Lucifer Meimei's calculation is very perfect.

The decoration of the cinema picked by Lucifer is not bad, the seats are at least soft seats rather than hard wood boards, and the position of the two is in the middle, not far and not close, the best location.

"What's being screened?" Gu Yaluo sat lazily on the chair, leaning back on the back of the chair and asked easily.

"The three heroines of the rivers and lakes, let's make do with it!" Lucifer smiled and said, "We're here to feel the atmosphere, we've eaten big fish and meat, and we're here to feel the porridge and side dishes." ”

From 1958 to 1985, Shaw Brothers produced more than 1,000 films, owned the largest cinema in Asia, and launched a series of magnificent costume films, Huangmei films and martial arts films, recreating a Chinese dream full of 'classical impressions' on the screen. As a result, Shaw Brothers has been able to dominate the East and Southeast Asian markets. This film kingdom was the founder of Xiangjiang Films' entry into the world film industry.

The 60s were the first golden age of martial arts movies, and the "golden age" of kung fu films in the 70s and 80s.

In the 60s and 80s, most of the films produced by Xiangjiang Shaw Brothers Company, whether it was a costume Huangmei tune, or an anecdotal drama of the Republic of China, or even an anti-Japanese movie, were completed on the assembly line of its Clear Water Bay studio.

Therefore, in terms of picture texture, no matter what type, you can always find a corresponding set as a solution; In terms of image quality, it cuts off the possibility of the audience understanding the real world through the lens. All the stories. All naturally exist in the set, and the Chinese rivers and mountains on the screen are just a flashy imagination.

Although the landscape is now set up, it is fake, and it is real. The mountains and rivers of later generations are real, but people are much more fake.

The story is very old-fashioned, but the two watch it with relish, and there is no kind of ambiguous thing that happens when men and women date in the cinema.

At most, Lucifer grabbed Gu Yaluo's hand and didn't let go, the two of them were no longer young boys and girls who had just fallen in love, not to mention their age! So I watched the movie seriously.

The story follows three sisters who kill their enemies in order to avenge their enemies. The bad guys are not so stupid, the tricks and conspiracies are one after another, and the eldest sister ** beauty is planning to fight against the trap. The second sister is the protagonist's witty undercover agent, Pan Yingzi's little sister has been injured, and the magnetic power of the Xuantie Excalibur is amazing.

Just like Zhang Ji said, they are all tired of fame. Luo Lie, who had a sword scar on his face, suddenly changed from a stunned green to a villain. said that it was the three heroines of the rivers and lakes. In the end, it was Luo Lie who fought Zhang Ji. Weapons are very good. Powerful big magnet.

Of the three heroines, two of them have become widows. The plot is quite bizarre, but it's just a little mentally retarded, and the final battle of the bamboo forest is good.

The screenwriter is very skillful, and the plot is quite tortuous, but it is a little close to child's play. The blade is also enough, and in the end, the blade of wood and stone was used to get the Xuantie Divine Sword. The middle flaw also made Gu Yaluo and them clear at a glance, I don't know if it was stopped to shoot again or the repaired film was broken, and the connection was unnatural. The final bamboo forest battle was filmed quite carefully. But there's no imagination either.

Luo Lie's performance of **oss is good**, which completely overshadows the charm of the righteous side. The three women are slightly stupid......

&*&

After the three sisters finished the screening, they took a fifteen-minute break in the middle, and the two went to the bathroom, and there were only a few people in the theater, and they all went out to let off steam.

The two came back to sit and chat, and they really couldn't do anything about biting sugar cane. So Lucifer bought some melon seeds, Gu Yaluo grabbed a handful of melon seeds, sat on the chair seat leisurely, and chatted while knocking.

The skin of the melon seeds was thrown in an empty paper bag, and after watching the movie, they were taken away and thrown in the trash.

"What's shown below?" Gu Yaluo asked casually.

"Liang Zhu."

"Huangmei tunes are classic, very blockbuster films." Gu Yaluo remembered and said.

When this mythical movie was released in Taiwan, it was screened for several months, and the box office record is said to have been maintained for 20 years, and an old lady even watched it 141 times, fierce! The reason why it is a blockbuster is because mainlanders who go to Taiwan miss their hometown and go to the cinema many times, just to memorize the lyrics.

"It's still a Chinese film." Gu Yaluo asked lightly.

"Yes!" Lucifer puzzled, "I remember that this should not be the world of Cantonese films, I took a cursory look at all Chinese films." For example, the famous "No Love" and "Jiangshan Beauty" are both Chinese films. ”

Gu Yaluo thought for a while and said, "From the 1950s to the 1960s, Xiangjiang's Chinese culture was popular, and the two sides of the strait were busy with politics, military, and fighting, but Xiangjiang inherited Chinese culture at this time.

During this period, with the cooperation of time, place, people and other aspects, Heung Kong created a lively and diverse Chinese culture due to fate, and made a very positive contribution to the inheritance of Chinese culture.

After 1949, the mainland and Taiwan had just formed an antagonism, the political ideology was very strong, and the culture was also politicized. Xiangjiang coincided with the low ebb of non-political culture on both sides of the strait, and because it received a large number of cultural elites who had escaped from Shanghai, the cultural activities centered on Shanghai were moved from Shanghai to here.

Elites from Shanghai who came south began to take charge of Xiangjiang's cultural industry, including: Mr. Zha Liangyong Jin Yong, who founded Ming Pao; Famous writers: Ni Kuang, Liu Yifeng, Bu Shaofu, Sima Changfeng; Run Run Shaw, the owner of Shaw Brothers Film Company, who founded 'Oriental Hollywood', and his four major directors: Li Hanxiang who made Huangmei Tune, court drama and Fengyue films, Hu Jinquan and Zhang Che who made new martial arts films, and Chu Yuan who made surreal hero films) ......and so on.

"Just like the pop of Chinese music, this generation is from the mainland." Lucifer chuckled, "Hey! Luo'er, why did you say that EMI Records didn't move to Taiwan? ”

After being accepted by the new government in Shanghai, EMI Records, the production center of the Chinese period song, also went to Xiangjiang in 1952 to regain its popularity. Many famous artists of the Shanghai School of Song, such as Yao Min, Chen Dieyi, Wang Fuling, Yao Li, Zhang Lu, etc., also went south to Xiangjiang.

"Maybe it's because the political environment here is relatively relaxed!" Gu Yaluo guessed, and then said, "In short, the arrival of these talents in Shanghai's literary and artistic circles has changed this place from a single Cantonese literary and artistic form represented by Cantonese opera and Cantonese opera to a multicultural culture dominated by Chinese. But it's a pity ......."

Lucifer continued her words, "Unfortunately, it was only a flash in the pan and had already begun to decline. In Taiwan, non-political cultural creations began to increase after the sixties. In Hong Kong itself, in 1967, the launch of Cantonese-based TVB was launched, which ushered in the new era of Cantonese culture. And next year, as a symbol, Bruce Lee-based kung fu movie boom, and most of these films are set in the early years of the Republic of China, the content is nothing more than a variant of grievances and grievances, and the core of it is still an imagination of martial arts, of course, modern martial arts that have not yet disappeared. and the creative boom of Cantonese pop songs with Xu Guanjie as the originator, came into being at the right time. At the same time, after World War II, the first generation of local young people born in Xiangjiang had grown up, and they began to find their own position, and Xiangjiang's civic films began to rise, making Chinese culture lose its status. ”

Gu Yaluo said on a matter-of-fact basis, "For the new generation of audiences, they are tired of the Huangmei movies and traditional martial arts films that have a deep immigrant background and are obsessed with the madness of the previous generation, and prefer fully localized films." Films that reflect society and satirize reality show that films can only succeed if they represent the original local culture.

In these citizen films, a large number of real faces of the streets of Xiangjiang appear: the rush hour of work, the laborious construction sites, and the mountainous scenery of the suburbs of Xiangjiang are fully captured in the film. Under the cloak of comedy, the Hui brothers on the one hand try their best to satirize the social mentality, and on the other hand, they also strive to show the stories based on the language and physical shaping of Hong Kong's ordinary people, and the stories they tell are all speculative mentality, working for two meals, living in the moment, etc. This is much more practical than the ethereal desert north or the picturesque Jiangnan of talented and beautiful people. ”

There are many reasons for this change: first, although Shanghai's cultural elite controls the cultural industry in various fields, they do not control the education sector; The British government in Hong Kong not only canceled radio and television in non-Cantonese dialects, including Chinese, but also prevented the teaching of "Chinese" in schools.

As a result, the new generation is mainly Cantonese-speaking; The content of many Chinese cultures is far away from the lives of Xiangjiang people, such as the mainland in the wind and snow in movies, but rarely the Xiangjiang in typhoons, which is difficult for Hong Kong people to feel the same; In addition, after the Cultural Revolution and the 67 years of riots, the British government in Hong Kong began to actively accept local elites, and many newly grown elites no longer looked north to China because of the Cultural Revolution, and began to think that this was my home; One country, two systems, and Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong, also give Hong Kong people a desire for a kind of self-definition.

One of the important reasons for Hong Kong people's amnesia over this period of history is the result of Hong Kong people's deliberate and selective forgetting, and it is a common phenomenon to deliberately forget the contradictory history when constructing a new identity, which is similar to Taiwan's efforts to de-sinicize culture in the process of localization. For example, in Taiwan, it is rare to see historical TV dramas after the 90s, and most of them are Hokkien and local dramas with a strong local atmosphere.

While talking, the movie began, and the two ended chatting, under the mud and sand pouring down in the big time, it is difficult for individuals to change anything.

The costumes and props of the film are really beautiful, and they have been carefully researched, and on the screen, the seasons in the film are alternate, surrounded by smoke, rich in the characteristics of oriental art, and the color of the film has always maintained the elegance of this ink painting.

Such elegant Chinese classical feelings make the two watch it with relish, the first half is full of interest, and the second half is tear-jerking and touching, but I can't see it.

Gu Yaluo, who was staring at the big screen, suddenly grabbed Lucifer's hand, "Let's go!" ”

Sensing that Gu Yaluo's voice was cold to the bone marrow, Lucifer also knew that something was happening, so he clasped her hand with his backhand, grabbed her and walked out, and whispered in his mouth, "I'm sorry, I've borrowed it, let me go." (To be continued......)
