The birth of "Farewell My Concubine" has a pivotal significance in Hong Kong and even in the history of Chinese films.

This significance is not only that the film won the "Palme d'Or" award and enjoyed world-class honors, but the most important point is that this film was a slap in the face to the impetuous mentality and lost artistic creation of filmmakers at that time.

At the end of the 70s, when the international situation was turbulent, Hong Kong's economy was highly developed and taking off, and the reading power film production institutions were surging, a large number of film and television workers with a sense of justice disdained the "four heads" (gimmick, fist, pillow, and ghost) films and opened up a new path. They are all young directors, and with their passion for film, as well as the unique creativity and social sensibility of young people, they present a new style different from traditional Hong Kong films in terms of choreographing and directing techniques and filming techniques...... That's what the "new. waves".

In 1976, "Jumping Ashes" directed by Liang Puzhi and Xiao Fangfang was a new . The precursor of the wave. After 78, Yan Hao's "Curry Coffee" fired the first shot, and in 79, Xu Ke's "Butterfly Change", Xu Anhua's "Crazy Robbery", and Zhang Mingming's "Pointing Soldiers" The three films marked the "new. The official arrival of the "wave". But this wave came and went in a hurry, and when Tan Jiaming's "Youth on Fire" was staged, "New. The "wave" is at the end of its powerful crossbow and is about to come to an end.

Hong Kong is a highly commercial, speculative city, and film productions have always been based on pure mass entertainment. And the "new. "Wave" movies are often applauded, and they cannot be appreciated by art and commerce. Young directors' love for film and artistic ambitions were quickly swept away by the commercial wave in Hong Kong's highly competitive commercial production system, without the support of any institution or funding.

Returning to humanistic care, historical reflection and social trends is the essence of the film. The reason why Hollywood's films have been able to sweep the world in later generations is that film technology innovation is on the one hand, but on the other hand, it has never departed from the three essences of movies, so that it can be appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar.

It's a pity that when "Farewell My Concubine" was born and everyone woke up, it was already a little late, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the local and foreign markets of Hong Kong films shrank sharply, which could no longer provide a huge impetus for Hong Kong filmmakers to be reborn.

．．．．．．

Thinking of this, Zhang Shaoping smiled at Xu Jie and said, "Speaking of which, I'm still your fan, I wonder if Miss Xu will have a new drama staged this year?" ”

This guy has never seen Xu Jie's play at all, but he talks nonsense when he opens his mouth, so as to dispel the strangeness of the two. He wanted to get to know her sister Xu Feng through Xu Jie, a strong woman in business and an excellent producer in the film industry.

When Hu Meiyi heard this, she burst out laughing, and then looked at Zhang Shaoping left and Xu Jie right with a surprised expression. Zhang Shaoping felt inexplicable and asked, "What's wrong, is there something wrong?" ”

Hu Meiyi smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are a fan of Ajie, but you would never have thought that Ajie is your admirer." After speaking, she smiled and emphasized: "It's the kind of Prince Charming that I like." ”

After a pause, Xu Jie's snow-white jade face was blushing, she was shy and anxious to scratch Hu Meiyi a few times with her little hand, and shouted: "Let you talk nonsense!" ”

"I didn't say nonsense, this is what you personally admitted, saying that if you want to marry, you will marry a man like Mr. Zhang!"

"You still say!" This is a matter of private conversation between the daughter's family, and at this time, when her best friend said it in front of her favorite man, even if Xu Jie is decent and generous, she can't help but be a little shy.

Zhang Yurong heard this for the first time, and shouted out inopportunely: "Yo, no wonder as soon as you heard that I was coming to Zhang Sheng's house, you followed without saying a word, it turns out that you like Zhang Sheng!" ”

As soon as these words came out, it undoubtedly confirmed the fact that Xu Jie really had a good impression of Zhang Shaoping, Xu Jie simply admitted generously, saying: "Because my father died early, my sister's ex-husband owed a lot of debts and fled, and my life was very hesitant at that time, and there was no way out, so I have always admired capable men." I deeply admire Mr. Zhang's self-made deeds. ”

There is a big beauty who said that she is her fan, Zhang Shaoping's heart fluttered, looking at Xu Jie's pretty beauty, his heart was itchy, and he thought that it would be good if there was a super friendship development. In order to increase his "great" image in the eyes of beauties, this guy had to hide his inner swagger and urgency, and said with a hearty smile: "Miss Xu is too famous, Zhang is better than Mr. Tang Junnian!" ”

Holding her proud brother-in-law a little, Zhang Shaoping changed the topic and continued: "By the way, Miss Xu, you haven't said yet, what arrangements do you have for this year." ”

Xu Jie said: "I don't film anymore, I'm studying business administration now. ”

"You're going to college?" Zhang Shaoping asked in surprise.

"Hmm." Xu Jie responded and said softly: "My sister said that you can't make movies for a lifetime, and a woman's family has to marry after all." A few years ago, there were no conditions, but now that the family situation is gradually improving, she sent me to study, saying that when she returned from studying, she could also help her take care of her business and take care of her younger brother. ”

Having said that, Zhang Shaoping knew that for some reason, Xu Jie had never married and was single. Her sister Xu Feng originally had good intentions, and just wanted her to stay away from the rights and wrongs of the entertainment industry, and then be a lady, but in the end, it was a waste, and it was really tricky to say.

Zhang Shaoping answered the phone and threw down the big matter of making dumplings and slipped out of the door, Zhou Huimin saw that his stomach was full of doubts, his eyes kept staring at the door, and he was absent-minded when he wrapped dumplings. Half an hour later, Zhang Shaoping walked in with two beautiful women, talking and laughing.

"Okay, you're really going to see a beautiful woman!" Zhou Huimin suddenly became angry and decided to ignore this villain for ten days from now on...... However, if you ignore him for ten days, he won't be too sad! Let's halve it and ignore him for five days! Zhou Huimin gritted his teeth, hesitated, and made a decision in his heart to ignore this villain for five days and kill him in a hurry!

planned to "fight a cold war" with Zhang Shaoping, but Zhou Huimin would not lose his temper in front of everyone and embarrass Zhang Shaoping, but seriously looked at the "rival in love". swept over the two girls for a while, and finally fixed on Xu Jie's body, who called Xu Jie outstanding, extremely sweet, and likable, as long as she was not blind, she would like her.

Zhang Shaoping scratched his head, thinking about how to introduce the two of them properly, but saw Zhou Huimin suddenly scream excitedly, jumped up and ran to Xu Jie, and said in surprise: "Xu Jie, you are Xu Jie!" I've seen your "The Unemployed" and I like you very much. ”

This scene made Zhang Shaoping dumbfounded, and it took him a long time before he stabbed Zhang Yanrong's waist and asked in a low voice: "Is Xu Jie very famous?" The movie she acted in was a blockbuster, or was it good-looking? ”

Zhang Yurong glanced at Zhang Shaoping puzzled, and suddenly said loudly: "It turns out that you ......"

"Shhh-" Zhang Shaoping's eyes were quick, he covered his mouth, and said in a low voice, "It's good to know, why do you do so loudly?" Your EQ is really low. ”

"I'll help you call Guan Xiaoxiao, don't talk nonsense!" Encountering such a stunned young man who has not yet opened his mind, it is really unsafe to talk from his mouth, Zhang Shaoping didn't want to be bored with himself, so he told him a sentence and went to call.

It is strange between women, at the last moment, Zhou Huimin still regarded Xu Jie as a rival in love, but at this moment, the two of them were tied together, with a Hu Meiyi outside, and wrapped dumplings with a smile. Zhang Yurong had never eaten dumplings before, and he also came to join in the fun, holding a few pieces of dough, but his mind was all on Zhang Shaoping's call.

As soon as Zhang Shaoping put down the phone, Zhang Yurong, who was staring closely, ran to the front with a swoop and asked nervously, "How is it?" Have you found Xiaoxiao? Did her call work? ”

"Don't worry, I called her here, and you'll be able to see her later."

Throwing down a sentence, Zhang Shaoping began to direct the bodyguards to hang up the red lantern.

Zhang Shaoping's hometown in his previous life, from the 30th of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the 15th Lantern Festival of the first month, every household would hang several red lanterns. At night, not only are the lanterns lit up for the night, but the electric lights cannot be turned off, and the lights are bright all night, which means longevity and incense.

As soon as he finished hanging up the lantern, Zhang Yurong came over again and asked, "Zhang Sheng, why hasn't Xiaoxiao arrived yet?" ”

"You should be on a plane when she flies, and she will fly in front of you all at once!" Zhang Shaoping said angrily.

"Oh." Zhang Yurong retreated, but within a few minutes, he appeared next to Zhang Shaoping like a ghost, and asked angrily, "Zhang Sheng, you shouldn't be fooling me, right?" Xiaoxiao must have resigned and left Hong Kong, right? ”

Zhang Shaoping rolled his eyes, didn't bother to tell him, and flashed people directly. Zhang Yurong followed unrelentingly, and had to let Zhang Shaoping give an explanation

Give a Mao an explanation! When people appear, facts speak louder than words!

Zhang Shaoping knew that Zhang Yanrong's mind was full of Guan Xiaoxiao at this time, and he definitely couldn't convince him of what he said, so he pouted and hid in the toilet. There was no buzzing sound, and he suddenly felt that the world was much quieter, Zhang Shaoping peed out with a shot, and he couldn't help but wonder if he didn't see Zhang Yurong's figure. When I came to the hall, I understood everything, and I saw Zhang Yurong smiling brightly playing with treasure, and the dough used by Ya was not to make dumplings, but to pinch people. He performed so hard, but Guan Xiaoxiao sat on the side, deliberately ignoring him with a cold face, to show that the relationship between the two was estranged.

This situation is really like a little couple having an awkward relationship!

Obviously, the two unconsciously fell in love with each other, but Guan Xiaoxiao had found out, while Zhang Yanrong was ignorant and didn't know it. Zhang Shaoping pondered, this is not a way, I have to help them have a lover and eventually become a family!

Zhang Shaoping made an excuse, pulled Zhang Yurong to the corner, and asked: "Ah Rong, you should tell me honestly, have you fallen in love with Guan Xiaoxiao?" ”

Zhang Yurong said solemnly: "Never! ”

"Then why do you care so much about her? Ordinary friends don't think about it as much as you do. ”

Zhang Yanrong reacted quickly, saying: "We are not ordinary friends, our relationship is deeper than friends. ”

Zhang Shaoping reminded him: "The super-friendship relationship between men and women is the relationship between lovers. He also added a sentence in his heart: except for the relationship between artillery friends.

Zhang Shaoping went around and dug a big hole, so that Zhang Yurong jumped in directly. Zhang Rongrong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I already have a girlfriend, but this person is not Xiaoxiao!" ”

"Ni Shiqi in the newspaper?" Last year, newspapers and magazines all reported on the love between the two, and Zhang Shaoping immediately thought of this woman.

Zhang Yanrong shook his head and said: "Ah Shi is very good, but I always feel like a sister to her, and she blew it in less than two months." Later, you asked me to chase back Ah Ming (Shirley), and during this time I met Sisi and we were together. ”

In less than a year, three relationships, tossed down, and became more and more courageous, Zhang Shaoping was really convinced.

Ignoring who Sisi was in his mouth, Zhang Shaoping directly woke him up as a "person who came over": "Ah Rong, let me ask you, did you lose your soul when you didn't see Guan Xiaoxiao for a day, and remembered her?" Isn't it that as long as she appears in your sight, you feel very happy and energetic in everything you do? Also, will you be happy with her? ．．．．．．”

Every time Zhang Shaoping asked, Zhang Rongrong nodded, Zhang Shaoping patted him on the shoulder, and sighed: "I can tell you with certainty that you are 100% in love with Guan Xiaoxiao!" ”

"But when I'm with Sisi, my heart will pound, and when I'm with Xiaoxiao, I only have a kind of friend's blandness." Zhang Rongrong still didn't believe Zhang Shaoping's words, Zhang Shaoping cheated him once, and he didn't want to be cheated a second time.

For such a nervous person, it is useless for Zhang Shaoping to speak dryly. Zhang Shaoping had no choice but to say: "Then you must be in love with two people at the same time!" ”

"Zhang Sheng, not everyone is like you! Xiaoxiao is my good brother, Sisi is my lover, it's as simple as that! Zhang Yurong shook his head and walked away.

Zhang Shaoping was so angry that he wanted to catch this guy and beat him hard, damn it, if Guan Xiaoxiao wasn't my assistant secretary, and he wasn't in love with you, the ghost would be messing around with you here, who do you like to find whom!

．．．．．．

．．．．．．

The year before that. According to Hong Kong TVB's "Happy Tonight", combined with the local situation in Guangdong Province, Dongtai made up a program called "Thousands of Purples and Thousands of Reds". And CCTV saw that "Thousands of Purples and Thousands of Reds" was good, and it also changed it, and it became the first Spring Festival Gala, the Spring Festival Gala in 1983.

TVB and ATV will also launch special programs on Chinese New Year's Eve, but the ratings are extremely low, and no one will stay at home to watch. Everyone went to see the flower market, and Victoria Park in Causeway Bay was the largest; The Flower Market Stadium in Mong Kok is prosperous; Walking around Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone's experience is that the more beautiful the night, usually at 2 to 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, which is the peak of crowds.

In order to match Guan Xiaoxiao and Zhang Yurong, Zhang Shaoping spared no effort, and even he didn't plan to go out to visit the flower market for thirty nights, but for the sake of these two people, he asked them out and created opportunities for them, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.

Zhang Yurong was happy to come, but this guy didn't come alone, but appeared with a little beauty with a spring breeze on his face. The girl's name is Yang Weisi, and she is still studying in the United States, so she made a special leave to come back to accompany Zhang Yurong for the Spring Festival.

"Friends have passed, lovers are not full, and something may happen in the future!"

Looking at such a pair, and then looking at Guan Xiaoxiao who was smiling and smiling, Zhang Shaoping only felt that he had done bad things with good intentions.
