124. Light-hearted satirical comedy
"Hello Mr. Zou, I'm a reporter from Sing Tao Daily, can I ask you a question?"
Nangong Keqing is a senior reporter of Sing Tao Daily, just when Chen Yihua and Zou Wenhuai were talking, she was secretly listening there with her ears pricked up, and when she saw that the time was almost up, she decisively opened her mouth to interview Zou Wenhuai.
Nangong Keqing is wearing a professional suit with a pair of black frames, although so, this woman is not not beautiful, and she doesn't look as old-fashioned as the average professional female surname, such a dress makes her look very surnamed, and the professional suit brings out her bumpy figure, and her black eyes make her look more seductive with her surname, making people have the urge to conquer, and the workplace temptation that later generations often say is her type.
Beauty is always a popular animal, seeing that the reporter is a beautiful beauty, Zou Wenhuai's frowning brows have also stretched a lot, and he spoke a lot softer, "What does Miss Reporter want to ask?"
"Mr. Zou, as far as I know, this movie theater doesn't seem to be a property of Golden Harvest, why is Golden Harvest's movie released in this movie theater?" When the beauty asked, Yu Guang turned to Chen Yihua on the side, and the meaning was self-evident.
Nangong Keqing focused on Zou Wenhuai as soon as he came in, and when Zou Wenhuai refused to be interviewed, and other reporters turned to Xu Guanwen and them again, Nangong Keqing did not give up.
Huangtian lived up to his wishes, but he didn't expect that Zou Wenhuai really made her discover a piece of news, Nangong Keqing didn't know who Chen Yihua was, but from what he heard just now, it was enough to see that Zou Wenhuai attached great importance to this young man.
'Haha, Miss Reporter's guess is wrong, although this theater has nothing to do with Golden Harvest, but the owner of this theater is the editor of this movie, and he is also the largest investor in this movie' Zou Wenhuai couldn't hear the potential meaning of Nangong Keqing's words, but he didn't want to help Chen Yihua hide it.
Zou Wenhuai was also a little ill-intentioned when he said this, and he was not sure whether Chen Yihua was ready to start entering the film and television industry, but he couldn't help but guard against it, if Nangong Keqing reported on Chen Yihua, he just gave Zou Wenhuai a chance, and he hoped that he could remind people in the Hong Kong film industry that the wolf was coming.
"Oh, is this person Mr. Zou talking about this gentleman standing next to you" Nangong Keqing was very cooperative, pretending not to know and asked, but she was very surprised in her heart, she didn't expect Chen Yihua to be a screenwriter.
'This gentleman looks strange, I don't know what to call such a gentleman' Since Zou Wenhuai said so, Nangong Keqing certainly couldn't miss the opportunity, and naturally shifted the topic to Chen Yihua along the way.
'Hehe, my name is Chen Yihua, hello Miss Reporter' The topic shifted to himself, Chen Yihua didn't answer if he didn't answer, according to this posture, he was afraid that if he didn't open his mouth again, Zou Wenhuai might sell him all.
"Is Mr. Chen in the cinema business, there seems to be no report on Mr. Chen before?"
'Oh, I'm just a little person, who cares about my business'
"Mr. Chen has such a big movie theater at such a young age, and he can also be the editor-in-chief of the drama directed by Xu Guanwen, I believe that many people will be curious about Mr. Chen's affairs."
'Oh, yes, that's great, people are still thinking about how to be famous, and if the reporter is willing to report on me, I really can't ask for it.'
'Mr. Chen runs such a large theater at such a young age, is this Mr. Chen's own property, or is Mr. Chen's family very wealthy' Nangong Keqing didn't come over to have a hippie smile with Chen Yihua, and without saying a few words, he directly questioned sharply.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, Miss Reporter, I think it looks like the movie is about to start, or we will talk about it later when we have time."
'You' Nangong Keqing just wanted to inquire about his background from Chen Yihua, but he didn't expect that he didn't eat his own set at all, and directly choked on her question.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, then you remember to be interviewed by me next time" Seeing Chen Yihua's angry look, although Nangong Keqing hated it in her heart, she had a smile on her face.
Chen Yihua said this, Nangong Keqing has no choice, after all, the film is playing, you can't still stand there talking, besides, I really don't know much about this Chen Yihua, now I can only go back, wait until the next time the preparations are done, and then come to find Chen Yihua's musty.
When the reporters and film critics in the small screening room took their seats, it didn't take long for the music to start and the lights dimmed. The dark green curtain slowly opened to both sides, and the big screen under a few beams of strong light shè became the focus of people's attention.
After the opening of Golden Harvest Film Company, there was a sunset first, and after a while, the picture became the morning of Hong Kong, and the narrow sky between the high "concrete forests" sounded the theme song.
Along with the singing, the list of the main creators of the movie appeared one by one in the form of subtitles, and Chen Yihua, as the editor-in-chief and the creator of the movie songs, his name was also prominently listed.
At the same time, the scene also shows the bustling traffic of Hong Kong, with overhead shots of lower-class people such as hawkers running on the streets, as well as office workers crowded with people rushing on the flyover and speeding traffic under the bridge.
The film opens with an elevation lens. Because "it is easy to cause the distortion of things when shooting from above, and the director can achieve exaggerated artistic effects". Hong Kong itself is a city surrounded by a "glass curtain wall". Towering buildings, dense like iron fences, lock the people living in the city in a cage of money, and the audience feels a sense of depression in their hearts when they see this. This is followed by the depiction of narrow streets and crowded people, highlighting that this is a fast-paced society with few people and many people, and the theme song sung by Xu Guanjie also sounded, implying that everyone walking in it, including the audience themselves, is a part of the busy workers in the play, and the sense of identity in the audience's heart is generated, so that the audience can quickly enter the play in a short time.
A woman's feet in high-heeled sandals appeared on the screen, followed by a pair of feet of a man in broken shoes, and followed by the feet of the woman, and the footsteps of the two slowly walked towards the Hong Kong jointγγγγ
We're a bunch of workers
Running around is simply tormenting
How can you make so little money by the end of the month? (pitifully few)
It's very unlucky
The worst thing is that the boss is powerful at every turn (crazy chicken)
There's always something here that barks at us like a dogγγγγγγ
The singing has always accompanied the busy crowd, which fully reflects the social phenomenon of the low-level people in Hong Kong.
Although the film has a strong moral from the beginning, the relaxed rhythm of the music and the superficial phenomenon of Hong Kong's prosperity dilute the heavy phenomenon that the film wants to express, making the audience look relaxed.
Seeing that when the man's worn-out shoes were patched with a hole on the road, and the shoes were stepped on on the road, and then the upper and sole were completely separated, the audience sitting in the audience was happy, not the joy of laughing, but a very relaxed and natural desire to laugh.
As the name of Chen Yihua's screenwriter finally appeared on the screen, the song officially ended, and a beautiful woman in a miniskirt appeared on the construction siteγγγ
When the male protagonist of Xu Guanwen's performance gave a thumbs up to an aunt and fell into the pond under the tower crane, the audience was happy again.
After a concise and quick explanation of the environment at the beginning of the film, the camera cuts to a pair of red flatform shoes and a pair of tattered shoes, and a long shot of one and a half minutes long records the "hard work" of tattered shoes tracking flatform shoes for us in real and detailed detail. During this period, the audience deeply experienced the invisible and helpless distance between the rich and poor classes. It wasn't until Xu Guanwen took out a small camera to shoot secretly that the audience understood that he was "working" and doing "serious things". At this moment, Xu Guanwen fell into the water because of taking pictures, which has to be said to be another irony of "part-time work"! Just when the audience sympathized with this poor "working boy", the camera turned, and his portrait was placed in the center of the screen, it turned out that he was the president of a "universal private detective agency" and a boss! This overturns all the audience's previous conclusions and makes the story start again.
A man was waiting for the bus with two bags of live geese in both hands, and a big man approached and told him to enter the alley. At the end of the alley, a group of bandits are stripping a group of men and women naked, looting belongings, and the man with the goose is also concocted in the same way. The leader of the bandits ordered to mess up everyone's clothes, and then led the bandits out of the alley to stop a minibus. The bandits got into the car. Foreshadowing the coming of the villain.
Li Guojie, who was performed by Xu Guanjie, then arrived and also got into the car. Lee sat in the back seat with the Biao bandits. The bandit threatened him to take out the money and goods, and Li quickly subdued the bandit and got out of the car safely.
Li Guojie deliberately put on a coat at the door of the Universal Detective Agency, lit a cigar with a cigar, held it in his mouth, and entered the detective agency, and the roles performed by Xu Guanying and Zhao Yazhi also officially appeared.
Chen Yihua did not change the film a lot, he felt that this film was already a rare good film in the 70s, such a film is a rare classic movie even in later generations, and Chen Yihua did not feel annoyed after watching it several times in later generations. The film is very rustic, humane, full of strong dramatic effects, and has the typical style of Hong Kong comedy films 70-80s. The performances of several actors are very natural and cute, and the soundtrack is quite emotional. It can be said that the standard of this film is still very high in the Hong Kong movies of later generations!
Xu Guanwen's performance is not the kind of exaggerated funny, his movies are not as nonsensical comedy as Zhou Xingchi, the action in Xu Guanwen's movie is not very exaggerated, under the details, people naturally can't help but make the audience laugh, the plot is very reasonable, the demeanor of the cold-faced joker in this movie is fully revealed, Chen Yihua feels very relaxed when he watches this film again.
Xu Guanwen is bitter and mean, Xu Guanjie is honest and heroic, Xu Guanying is stupid and stupid, the surnames of the three are well combined, coupled with Zhao Yazhi's amazing appearance, the story of a detective agency is interpreted to be hilarious, this movie is quite successful in the portrayal of character surnames, the three brothers have their own distinct surnames in the film, close to the public, there is no obvious difference between good people and bad people, and some are just short parents in life. The selection of a large number of satirical plots has a strong resonance with the lives of people at the time in terms of content, reflecting the inner voice of many people. At the same time, the classic music makes the film more rich and comprehensive.
The plot of this movie is unconventional, the whole storyline is very compact, and the irony is very strong, but it will not make the audience feel heavy or unpleasant, on the contrary, although the phenomenon of reflecting the low-level people in Hong Kong in the story can resonate in the hearts of the audience, the audience will not feel sad when watching it, but a little relaxed, I believe this is also the biggest charm of Xu Guanwen's movie.
