Chapter 86 Hong Kong
Hong Kong in the 1980s was considered a very prosperous era and also the most chaotic era.
At this time, the mainland needs to rely on Hong Kong as a window for foreign exchanges. Many materials need to be imported or smuggled from Hong Kong, which has the right to foreign trade, and purchased materials that were embargoed by Western countries. Therefore, this has created Hong Kong's economic prosperity. Together with Taiwan, Singapore and RB, it is known as the four Asian economic dragons.
But during this period, it was precisely because of the Sino-British negotiations that China wanted to take back Hong Kong, so that the Hong Kong government's policies changed from managing Hong Kong well to disrupting Hong Kong and causing trouble to the Chinese.
Therefore, during this period, the British government gradually relaxed the regulation of Hong Kong society, and so the societies flourished throughout the 1980s and 1990s, so that a series of films describing the violence of the societies were filmed, and the social atmosphere in Hong Kong could almost be said to be a mess.
However, thanks to the prosperity of the economy, the Hong Kong entertainment industry also flourished in the 1980s, and the rise of Hong Kong movies made Hong Kong the name of Oriental Hollywood.
Although Hong Kong films declined after the 1990s due to a large amount of shoddy production in the later period, eagerness for quick success and short-term talent, as well as the Asian financial crisis and the changes in the overall environment after the return, no one can deny that Hong Kong films were at its most glorious time in the 1980s.
During this period, Hong Kong movies were very popular internationally and were popular in RB and Southeast Asia. Even Hollywood, which has always maintained cultural output, accepted Eastern culture because of the rise of the two generations of Kungfu superstars of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, and even invented the word "kungfu" to specifically represent Chinese Kungfu.
Compared with the prosperous Hong Kong movies, although RB movies in this period are not bad, they are difficult to make. Animation and monster movies may be the only things that RB people can make. Although there are many big stars and directors, they can be recognized internationally. The most important thing is that they can gain a place in Hollywood, the world's largest cultural output source, but there is no one.
Even Akira Kurosawa, who was praised by RB people, his movies are still limited in international popularity. He made a movie called "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!" in Hollywood, and was even removed from the director position by the Americans. If it weren't for the last two masterpieces in his later years, Akira Kurosawa's reputation and status in the international field would have been greatly reduced.
So during this period, it was not strange that RB stars came to Hong Kong to make movies, just as normal as later generations of Japanese, Korean and Hong Kong and Taiwan stars came to the mainland to develop.
For the same reason, Tsui Hark was just a little surprised and not surprised when he received an invitation from RB that there was a movie he wanted to work with, and that the screenwriter and the heroine would come to discuss the filming together.
Moreover, because the person who came Nakamori Akina, Tsui Hark was still a little excited. He had thought of asking Nakamori Akina to make a movie before, but the time was not yet ripe. Now that people came to him, they naturally fell in love with Tsui Hark, and made him run to the airport happily to wait to pick him up Nakamori Akina.
Chen Yu really didn't expect Tsui Hark to come to pick him up in person, which made him look at this great director who was later called the old monster Xu. He didn't expect you to be such a old monster Xu!
But what came was Akina Nakamori, and Tsui Hark's warm attitude was actually not unusual.
The group left the airport and after a few greetings, Tsui Hark proposed to invite Chen Yu and Akina Nakamori to have supper in the evening to welcome the two of them.
"I wonder what you two want to eat late? The night market in Hong Kong is so famous and has a lot of food." Tsui Hark spoke standard Cantonese. Although Chen Yu could understand the standard Cantonese, he didn't know how to say it, so he still needed a follow-up translator to help.
After all, it has been decades since Hong Kong returned to China when he traveled through time. Even Hong Kong people have learned Mandarin for a long time. However, speaking Mandarin in Hong Kong now is considered a local bun.
"I don't know where to eat the authentic Buddha Jump over the wall? When I was in RB, I heard from my elders mention that the Buddha Jump over the wall in Guangdong is the best in the world, and I have long wanted to try it." As an authentic people from the Fire Country, Chen Yu naturally knew what to eat when he came to Hong Kong, and would not say anything to want to eat char siu buns or fish eggs.
Akina Nakamori understood from the translator that Tsui Hark was talking about dinner at night, so he also interrupted: "I heard Ah Yan say that Hong Kong roast goose is delicious. Can I go eat roast goose at night?"
"Of course there is no problem for Miss Akina to want to eat roast goose. I will ask someone to buy authentic Kuroi roast goose tonight, so I will not disappoint Miss Akina." Tsui Hark heard Akina Nakamori speak, so he naturally would not miss this opportunity to please her.
The group chatted briefly about what they had eaten. Chen Yu's appearance of Cantonese cuisine was full of knowledge not only made Akira Nakamori greedy, but also attracted Tsui Hark's curiosity: "Why does this gentleman know so much about Hong Kong food? Have you been to Hong Kong before?"
"I am actually considered a Chinese, because my grandfather was a Chinese who was tragic in RB back then. After marrying my grandmother, I had my father. Influenced by his family, I have a strong interest in Chinese food and Chinese culture." Chen Yu explained, and also mentioned the plot of the movie to Tsui Hark: "In fact, this movie was inspired by the stories in the Strange Stories from My grandfather and I told me when I was a child. Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen could make Ning Caichen, who was indifferent to his life, break his promise. At that time, I was wondering what kind of beautiful female ghost Nie Xiaoqian should be. Until I saw Mingcaijiang, I thought I knew why Ning Caichen broke his oath."
"Haha, I had a similar idea before, wanting to film Nie Xiaoqian's story. You may not believe it. Nie Xiaoqian in my heart is like Miss Mingcai." After hearing Chen Yu's words, Tsui Hark immediately agreed, and at the same time he also vaguely led Chen Yu as his confidant.
Akina Nakamori couldn't help but feel a little shy about the two men's praise for her, but she was still very happy when she blushed. After reading the script, she knew what a sad love story this was, and she also liked the role of Nie Xiaoqian.
However, after talking about the movie, Akina Nakamori suddenly asked Tsui Hark: "Director Xu, do you know where Ayan is? He came to Hong Kong to hold a concert, but I don't know that I'm here too. I want to give him a surprise."
