Chapter 97: Touching the Whole Hong Kong (Part I)
In these years, the promotion of the film is not as outrageous as in later generations, Sun Ziming held a press conference, appeared on TV and radio, and the rest were traditional posters and the like. In the next century, when the media and information are developed in 'memory', directors and main creators have to do no matter how disgusting things are in order to promote their films, and it is common to deliberately go out and hype up scandals.
After completing his task, Sun Ziming handed over the baton of propaganda to the Propaganda Department, and he got into the stacks of books to prepare for the credit exam of the last school year. Manager Zhang is also a veteran in this field, and the traditional propaganda method is not relaxed, and he also uses the 'two packs of tissues' hyped by the media to fight with reporters.
One side swears that Sun Ziming said 'two packs of tissues', and the other side says that the other party is taking it out of context, which is a complete misinterpretation. In fact, both sides were Lao Zhang's gunmen, but the public's attention was also focused on the 'two packs of tissues'.
"Do you really want two packs of tissues?"
"I don't know what to say, but Shaw Brothers really put up a poster and raised the ticket price by one dollar."
"Then I'll have to go and see if I really want two packs of tissues!"
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, on November 5th, the 4 major cinemas in Hong Kong will preview "The Story of Ah Lang" at midnight according to the rules.
As soon as the innocent opening appeared on the screen, the audience began to quiet down, waiting for the film, which claims to require two packs of tissues, to play.
Dawn, the silence, the narrow streets, garbage trucks, the 'little sheep' (women's motorcycles) parked on the side of the corridor, the familiar street scene makes the audience smile.
The two fathers and sons hurriedly got up, washed, and argued to make everyone laugh, what kind of tragedy is this, this is clearly a comedy.
'Queen's Road West and Queen's Road East, Queen's Road East turns Queen's Road Central, why is there no ......Palace on Queen's Road East?'
In the sound of music, Ah Lang rode a little sheep and took his son around the street, and the audience would also smile.
'Squeak' Ah Lang braked suddenly, Bo Zai pressed the hot glutinous rice chicken on his father's neck, so hot that his father jumped up from the car, and the two fathers and sons began to argue fiercely about whose responsibility it was. In the end, Ah Lang still admitted defeat and gave his breakfast to Bo Zai, and the two continued to move forward in the sound of witty and ridiculous music.
The audience of 'Ha Lu Ha Ha' amused the funny father and son, 'Two Packs of Tissues' is simply a gimmick of Director Sun's promotion, this is an authentic comedy!
As soon as the camera turned, in the office of the construction site, Ah Lang was holding the salary sheet with seven deductions and eight deductions, and the sadness and helplessness on his face made the audience feel sour. Especially those salarymen, which one hasn't let the boss deduct it? Which one doesn't look at the boss's face in the factory or company to make a living?
……
The two fathers and sons sat by the pond, the father sighed for his incompetence, and the son comforted him by making money to support him in the future.
When the movie is shown here, the emotions of the vast majority of the audience have been controlled by the movie, and the same life scenes and life experiences are very easy for these small citizens to resonate.
……
Bo Tsai was writing his homework in the shaky cab, and as soon as the car braked, the homework was messed up, and the air boy had to smash his father with something, and let everyone have fun. This picture is really warm, once upon a time, I was so angry that I wanted to hit Lao Dou (Dad), but I didn't dare.
The warm picture is just an embellishment, and as the story progresses, the audience's emotions rise and fall with the film.
When Bo Tsai helped his father pour the footwater, the audience felt warm, and when Ah Lang learned to watch silent TV for Bo Tsai, the audience also felt warm.
Ah Lang was reluctant to buy Shar Pei dogs for Bo Zai, arguing that 'Shar Pei dogs are foreign dogs, and Chinese can raise local dogs if they want to raise them'.
'Shar Pei is a Chinese dog'.
Many viewers felt sour, and they also found reasons to shirk their children's requests, just for the sake of a difficult life.
At this point in the movie, the audience has forgotten the 'two packs of tissues', but the reporters watching the movie have always maintained a trace of sobriety. This is a film about the relationship between father and son, at most with a little maternal love, where is Director Sun Da's 'thoughts and views on life and youth'?
Jiaolong took Bo Zai to the advertising casting site, and Jiaolong recognized Bo Bo at a glance, but he pretended not to see it. When Bobo took the initiative to talk, Jiaolong, who was disdainful just now, became enthusiastic again, and Uncle Tart played the little citizen's philistine vividly.
At this time, Fa Ge, who was sitting with Sun Ziming and them, began to be a little nervous, the front scenes were all performed in his true colors, and the later scenes were the moment to test his acting skills.
Bobo is back, and Bo Zai and Jiaolong, who passed the interview, took Ah Lang to see Bobo, but there was no surprise expected by Jiaolong, only embarrassment and embarrassment. Even when Bo Tsai took his father to force him to give Bobo a rose, he was depressed.
Scenes of the past, the unruly Ah Lang and the young and ignorant Bobo told everyone a story about youth.
Regardless of the opposition of her family, the rich lady broke with her family and wanted to marry Ah Lang, a gold bracelet made the cynical Ah Lang wear on Bobo's wrist, and the audience breathed a sigh of relief, what a beautiful and romantic love story this is!
The reporter, who maintained a trace of sobriety, felt a tight heart, and Director Sun, who compared the director to a liar, was about to start cheating. Fa Ge in the audience also grabbed the handle, as long as the audience hated him and scolded him, he really broke through the shackles of 'Little Brother Ma' and embarked on the road of a real actor!
After a few turns of the picture, the pot-bellied Bobo found that Ah Lang was fooling around with other women, and in sadness and anger, he cried silently while cleaning up his things at home. The drunk and dizzy Ah Lang came back, and he looked like a little gangster, sitting on the bed on Bobo's clothes.
"Get up".
Ignoring his wife, Ah Lang continued to smoke his cigarette, dazed and enjoying the afterglow of drugs and alcohol.
Bobo, who screamed a few times to no avail, finally couldn't bear the anger in his heart and hit Ah Lang on the head with the clothes in his hand. Stimulated by the sequelae of alcohol and drugs, Ah Lang finally aroused Bobo's anger, and in a violent manner, he began to beat Bobo, and Bobo rolled down the stairs after missing it.
'Decrepit (bastard)! ’
The anxious audience had already begun to curse Ah Lang, and Fa Ge's heart was relieved, and he finally broke through the shackles of 'Little Pony' again.
Bo Bo Liu gave birth to Bo Zai, Ah Lang continued his debauchery life, and Bo Bo's family lied that Bo Zai was dead in order to break their daughter's thoughts.
Ah Lang was in a car accident because of drinking and drug abuse and speeding, and after recovering from his injuries, he was imprisoned.
Bobo's family is about to emigrate, Bobo's mother took Bo Tsai to the prison, and wanted to tell Ah Lang that they had arranged Bo Tsai to be fostered at a friend's house, but seeing Ah Lang's gangster appearance, he couldn't get angry.
The two were in prison and had a fierce quarrel, which angered Ah Lang by letting his mother-in-law curse without dirty words. The violent man was held down by the police, and his eyes were full of fierceness, which made the audience curse.
'Decrepit boy! The sound of "Butan (bastard)" and "Servant Street Boy" is endless.
The movie continues to tell the story of Ah Lang. After being released from prison, Ah Lang found Bo Zai, gave up his original profligate life, and began to work on the construction site to support his children, saving every penny to save for Bo Zai's tuition fees in the future.
'The prodigal son turns back, the money does not change', Ah Lang's repentance and fatherly love for Bo Zai have regained the audience's favor. Even he wanted to get back together with Bobo and try his best to make up for his mistakes back then, and he got their sympathy and support.
Seeing that there is no hope of reuniting, Ah Lang begins to compete with Bobo for his son. At the end of the day, on the beach, Bobo did not hesitate to take off his suit and skirt for Bo Zai, and went to the sea to play with Bo Zai only in underwear, which touched Ah Lang.
Ah Lang, who calmed down, sat on the beach, smoking a cigarette and looking at the frolicking mother and son, thinking about Bo Zai's future.
Bo Zai's attachment to Ah Lang also made Bo Bo understand this kind of dependent feelings.
An old couple sits on the beach, and Bo Tsai hides behind a boulder and watches his parents discuss his future.
"Ah Lang, Bo Tsai should follow you. Without him, you're nothing! ”
"No, Bobo, you take him to America! Only by following you will he have a future, and by following me, he will be the second Ah Lang! ”
Seeing this, many viewers began to open tissues and wipe away the tears oozing from the corners of their eyes.
……
Bo Tsai became famous because of the advertisement, but he couldn't forget his father, and secretly went to Ah Lang again. In order to let Bo Zai have a future, Ah Lang beat him for the first time, and hit his son and hurt his father's heart. Ah Lang was playing waves, and the distressed look on his face made the audience cry.
……
Bo Tsai and his mother were going to the United States, and when they heard that Ah Lang was going to play again, the mother and son hurriedly rushed to the arena to stop Ah Lang. Jiaolong stopped the mother and son, tried his best to explain, and the voice sounded.
"Bobo, Bozai, I just want to say goodbye to the past in this way!"
Jiaolong helped the mother and son stand in the nearest position, and the mother and son nervously looked at the handsome and dashing Ah Lang who had cut off his long hair and changed into a racing suit.
"Mom, this is Lao Dou?"
"Well, that's your old bean! When he was younger, he was even more handsome than that! ”
Bobo looked at Ah Lang, and his eyes also revealed old feelings, which was a kind of nostalgia for youth. Bo Zai took off the bracelet on his hand and wanted to put it on his mother, but Bo Bo was silent for a while and stretched out his hand to Bo Zai.
The audience couldn't help but start applauding gently, reuniting after breaking the mirror, and finally becoming a family member with a lover, what a beautiful picture this is!
The car field roared in the racetrack, and under the skillful camera skills of Christopher Doyle, the exciting racing began.
……
The motorcycle over 200 yards grazed a string of sparks on the protective net, and Aaron fell, got back up, and collided again. Under the blood-colored picture, the eyes rolled slightly, and the figures of Bo Bo and Bo Zai flashed.
The audience stared nervously at the silent images, and the bloody images on the screen kept switching from black and white.
Finally, Ah Lang fell again less than ten meters from the finish line, and a loud bang was followed by billowing smoke.
"Old beans".
Bo Tsai let out a heart-rending scream, and all kinds of noises sounded again.
