Chapter 89 Lovers are not full
The birth of "Farewell My Concubine" has a significant significance in the history of Hong Kong and even in the history of Chinese films.
This significance is not only that the film won the "Palme d'Or" award, but also enjoyed a world-class honor. The most important point is that this film gave a wake-up call to the impetuous mentality and lost artistic creation of the filmmakers at that time.
In the late 1970s, the international situation was turbulent, Hong Kong's economy was developing and taking off, and independent film production institutions were in full swing. At this time, a large number of film and television workers with a sense of justice despised the "Four Heads" (gimmicks, fists, pillows, ghost heads) films and opened up new ways. They were all young directors. Based on their enthusiasm for films and the unique creativity and social touch of young people, they presented a new look different from traditional Hong Kong films in their directorial techniques and filming techniques. . . . . . This is the "new wave".
In 1976, "Jumping Ashes" directed by Liang Puzhi and Xiao Fangfang was the first of the new waves. Then in 1978, Yan Hao's "Curry Coffee" fired the first shot, Xu Ke's "Butterfly Transformation" in 1979, Xu Anhua's "Crazy Calamity" and Zhang Guoming's "Pointing to the Soldiers" marked the official arrival of the "New Wave". But this wave came and went in a hurry. When Tan Jiaming's "Fire Youth" was staged, the "New Wave" was at the end of its strength and was about to end.
Hong Kong is an extremely commercial speculative city, and film plays always take pure mass entertainment as the program. "New. Wave" movies are often popular but not popular, and cannot be appreciated by art and business. Young directors' love for movies and artistic ambitions are quickly wrapped up by the commercial wave under the highly competitive commercial production system of Hong Kong without any organization or financial support.
Returning to humanistic care, historical reflection and social trends is the essence of movies. The reason why Hollywood movies can sweep the world in later generations is that film technological innovation is on the one hand, but on the other hand, it has never deviated from the three essences of movies and has been appreciated by both the elite and the masses.
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. The local and foreign markets of Hong Kong movies shrank sharply, and it could no longer provide a huge driving force for Hong Kong moviegoers to be reborn from the ashes.
. . . . . .
Thinking of this, Zhang Shaoping smiled at Xu Jie and said, "Talk about it, I am still your movie fan. I wonder if Miss Xu will have a new drama this year?"
This guy has never seen the scenes played by Xu Jie, but he just started talking nonsense to dispel the strangeness of the two. He wanted to meet her sister Xu Feng through Xu Jie - a strong woman in business and an outstanding producer in the film industry.
When Hu Meiyi heard this, she immediately burst out laughing, then looked at Zhang Shaoping with surprise and looked at Xu Jie on the right. Zhang Shaoping felt inexplicable and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
Hu Meiyi smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are Ajie's fan, but you definitely didn't expect that Ajie was from your admirer." After saying that, she teased and emphasized: "It's the kind of prince charming I like."
After a while, Xu Jie's snow-white jade face turned red. She scratched Hu Meiyi with her little hand shyly and anxiously, and shouted: "I told you to talk nonsense!"
"I didn't say anything nonsense. You admitted it yourself. If you want to marry someone like Mr. Zhang!"
"You still say it!" This is the thought that my daughter said privately between her daughter's family. At this time, she was told by her best friend in front of the man she liked. Even if Xu Jie was decent and generous, she would not help but feel a little shy.
Leslie Cheung heard this for the first time and shouted inappropriately: "Yeah, no wonder you came with me when you heard that I was here at Zhang Sheng's house, and you followed me without saying a word. It turns out that you like Zhang Sheng!"
As soon as these words were said, it undoubtedly confirmed that Xu Jie really had a good impression of Zhang Shaoping. Xu Jie simply admitted it generously, saying: "Because my father died early, my sister's ex-husband escaped with debts. At that time, life was very hesitant and had no way out, so he always admired capable men. I admire Mr. Zhang's deeds from scratch."
A big beauty said she was her supporter. Zhang Shaoping felt aroused in her heart. Looking at Xu Jie's pretty face, she felt itchy, thinking that it would be great if she could have a super friendship. In order to increase her "graceful" image in the beauty's mind, this guy had to hide his dirty and anxious heart and smiled heartily: "Ms. Xu is too famous. Zhang is much worse than Mr. Tang Junnian!"
He gave a little praise to her proud brother-in-law, Zhang Shaoping changed the topic and continued: "By the way, Miss Xu, you haven't said it yet, what are your arrangements this year."
Xu Jie said: "I won't film anymore. I'm studying business administration now."
"You went to college?" Zhang Shaoping asked in surprise.
"Yeah." Xu Jie responded and said softly: "My sister said that filming cannot be done for a lifetime. A woman's family will eventually get married. She didn't have the conditions in the past few years, but now her family is getting better, so she sent me to study, saying that she was returning from school, and she could help her manage 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 had a kind intention, just wanted her to stay away from the right and wrong of the entertainment industry and become a lady from a wealthy family, but she wasted and was really lucky to speak of it.
Zhang Shaoping received a call and threw down the big event of making dumplings and sneaked out of the door. Zhou Huimin was full of doubt when she saw it, staring at the door, and she was absent-minded when she made dumplings. Half an hour later, Zhang Shaoping walked in with two beauties talking and laughing.
"Okay, you're really going to meet the beauty!" Zhou Huimin suddenly became angry and decided to ignore this bad guy for ten days from now on. . . . . . However, if he ignores him for ten days, he will not be too sad! It’s better to cut it in half and ignore him for five days! Zhou Huimin bit his teeth, hesitated for a moment, and made a decision in his heart that he would ignore this bad guy for five days and would be anxious to death!
She planned to "fight a cold war" with Zhang Shaoping, but Zhou Huimin would not lose her temper in front of everyone and embarrass Zhang Shaoping, but looked at her "love rival" seriously. She swept her for a while and finally frozen on Xu Jie. Who said that Xu Jie is outstanding in appearance, extremely sweet and likable, as long as she is not blind, she will like her.
Zhang Shaoping scratched his head, thinking about how to introduce the two of them to the right place, but Zhou Huimin suddenly screamed excitedly, jumped to Xu Jie, and said in surprise: "Xu Jie, you are Xu Jie! I have seen your "Unowned Owner" and I like you very much."
This scene made Zhang Shaoping stunned. After a while, he stabbed Zhang Guorong on the side of the waist and asked in a low voice: "Is Xu Jie very famous? The movies she starred in are very popular, or are they very good?"
Leslie Cheung looked at Zhang Shaoping in confusion, and suddenly realized and said loudly: "So you......"
"Shh--" Zhang Shaoping covered his mouth quickly and whispered, "It's good to know, what do you do if you want to do so loudly? Your emotional intelligence is really low."
"I'll go and call Guan Xiaoxiao for you, don't talk nonsense!" When I met this unconscious young man, it was really unsafe to say something from him. Zhang Shaoping didn't want to make things boring, so he reminded him and went to call.
It was strange between women. Last moment, Zhou Huimin regarded Xu Jie as his rival in love. At this moment, the two of them formed a bunch, took a Hu Meiyi away, and made dumplings with laughter. Leslie Cheung had eaten dumplings and never made them. He also came to join in the fun and squeezed a few with the dough, but his whole thought was on the way Zhang Shaoping called.
Zhang Shaoping just put down the phone, and Leslie Cheung, who was staring at him, ran closer and asked nervously: "How is it? Have you found Xiaoxiao? Can her phone call be connected?"
"Don't worry, I'll call her here, you'll see her later."
After throwing a word, Zhang Shaoping began to direct the bodyguards to hang red lanterns.
In Zhang Shaoping's hometown in his previous life, from New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, every household would hang a few red lanterns. At night, not only would the lanterns be lit for a night, but the electric lights should not be turned off, and it would be bright all night, which means life will prolong life and incense will continue.
Just after hanging the lantern, Leslie Cheung came over again and asked, "Zhang Sheng, why haven't Xiaoxiao arrived yet?"
"You think she is taking a plane and flew to you all at once!" Zhang Shaoping said angrily.
"Oh." Leslie Cheung retreated awkwardly, but within a few minutes, he emerged from Zhang Shaoping like a ghost again and asked angrily, "Zhang Sheng, you might be fooling me, right? Xiaoxiao must have resigned and left Hong Kong, right?"
Zhang Shaoping rolled his eyes, too lazy to tell him, and he just flashed. Leslie Cheung followed him relentlessly, and insisted on letting Zhang Shaoping give him an explanation.
Give me an explanation! When someone appears, the facts are better than words!
Zhang Shaoping knew that Leslie Cheung was full of Guan Xiaoxiao at this time, so he absolutely didn't agree with him no matter how he said it. He curled his lips and hid in the toilet. There was no buzzing sound, and he suddenly felt that the world was much quieter. Zhang Shaoping urinated and didn't see Leslie Cheung's figure. He couldn't help but wonder. When he came to the hall, he understood everything. Leslie Cheung smiled brightly and was playing with treasure. He used the dough not to make dumplings, but to pinch people. He performed so hard, but Guan Xiaoxiao sat on the side, deliberately cold face not looking at him, to show that the two were estranged.
This situation is really like a quarrel between a young couple!
It is obvious that the two fell in love with each other unknowingly, but Guan Xiaoxiao had already discovered it, while Leslie Cheung was confused and unaware of it. Zhang Shaoping thought, this is not a solution, and he has to help them get married after having lovers!
Zhang Shaoping made an excuse, took Leslie Cheung to a corner, and asked: "Arong, you should honestly explain to me, have you fallen in love with Guan Xiaoxiao?"
Leslie Cheung said seriously: "No!"
"Then why do you care so much about her? Ordinary friends won't care about her like you."
Leslie Cheung reacted quickly and said, "We are not ordinary friends, and our relationship is deeper than our friends."
Zhang Shaoping reminded him: "The super friendly relationship between men and women is a lover relationship." He also added in his heart: Except for the relationship between a fool friend.
Zhang Shaoping went around and dug a big hole, causing Leslie Cheung to jump in directly. Leslie Cheung was stunned for a moment before he hesitating: "I already have a girlfriend, but this person is not Xiaoxiao!"
"Ni Shifen mentioned in the newspaper?" Last year, newspapers and magazines all reported on the relationship between the two, and Zhang Shaoping thought of this woman at the first time.
Leslie Cheung shook her head and said, "Ashi is pretty good, but I always feel like my sister. I blew it in less than two months. Later, you asked me to get back Ah Ming (Sherley). During this period, I met Sisi and got together."
In less than a year, three relationships were in trouble, and after a lot of battles, Zhang Shaoping was really convinced.
Ignoring who Sisi was as he said, Zhang Shaoping directly woke him up as a "experienced person": "Arong, I ask you, did you lose your soul when you haven't seen Guan Xiaoxiao for a day, and you are worried about her? Do you feel very happy as long as she appears in your sight and do everything? Also, if you are with her, will you be very happy? 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111�
Every time Zhang Shaoping asked, Leslie Cheung nodded. Zhang Shaoping patted his shoulder and sighed: "I can tell you with certainty that you are 100% in love with Guan Xiaoxiao!"
"But when Sisi and I were together, my heart would be pounding, and when I was with Xiaoxiao, I only had a kind of dullness of friends." Leslie Cheung still didn't believe Zhang Shaoping's words. Zhang Shaoping cheated him once, but he didn't want to be cheated a second time.
When facing such a nervous person, Zhang Shaoping was useless to speak dryly. Zhang Shaoping had to say: "Then you must have fallen 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 that simple!" Leslie Cheung shook his head and left with a very personalized personality.
张绍平气得想抓住这家伙狠狠地揍一顿,丫的,如果关晓晓不是我的助理秘书,而又不是爱上了你,鬼才会跟你在这瞎扯呢,你爱找谁找谁去!

The year before yesterday, Guangdong TV, based on the "Happy Tonight" by Hong Kong TVB, combined with the local facts in Guangdong Province, created a program called "Wan Zi Qianhong". When CCTV saw that "Wan Zi Qianhong" was good, it also changed it, and it became the first Spring Festival Gala, the 1983 Spring Festival Gala.
Wireless and ATV also launch special programs, but the ratings are extremely low, so no one will stay at home to watch. Everyone goes to the flower market, which is the largest in Victoria Park in Causeway Bay; Mong Kok Flower Ruins Stadium is rich in population and wealth; when you go shopping, everyone's experience is that the night is getting better and better, usually from 2 to 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, which is the peak of the crowd.
In order to match Guan Xiaoxiao and Leslie Cheung, Zhang Shaoping spared no effort. He didn't even plan to go out to the flower market on the thirty night, but for these two people, he made an appointment with them to come out and create opportunities for them, which was a perfect end.
Leslie Cheung came happily, but this guy didn't come alone, but showed up with a little beauty with a spring breeze. The girl named Yang Nosi was still studying in the United States. She made a special trip to come back to spend the Spring Festival with Leslie Cheung.
"My friend has passed, but my lover has not been full, so I may have something to do in the future!"
Looking at such a couple and looking at Guan Xiaoxiao who was forced to smile, Zhang Shaoping only felt that he was doing bad things again.
Chapter completed!
