Chapter 203 Hong Kong movie
After Masayoshi Kishimoto and his entourage left Hong Kong International Airport, instead of going to their offices in Central, they went to a hotel near Central and stayed there.
When he entered his room, he casually picked up the remote control placed on top of the television in the living room of the suite and turned on the television. A Hong Kong movie was playing on the TV screen.
At this time, Hong Kong movies were already in their waning days and had long since lost their past splendor. In the glorious era of Hong Kong movies, a Hong Kong star was able to start shooting many movies at the same time, moving from one set to another, and from another set to the next ……
Justice Kishimoto’s pair of eyes stared at the images inside the television set, and his thoughts immediately recalled his previous life in the 1990s. The first thing that came to his mind was the “Goujou” movie series.
He himself was still in middle school at that time, and even as a good student with good grades and academic performance in the eyes of his teachers and teachers, he could not resist its charm. The movie series was a huge hit in mainland China.
Ekin Cheng as Chen Haonan, Chun Chen as Chicken, as well as their gang of youngsters who grew up playing with each other, Big Tin Two, Bao Pi, Nest Pi.
The rest of the characters in the movie are like Big B, Daffy, Little Stammerer and so on are deeply rooted in people’s hearts. Villainous characters such as Shuai Kun, Crow, Yao Yang, etc., is also memorable.
To this day, he is also able to clearly remember a lot of relevant film and television clips inside the movie, after all, it is the first time to see this kind of movie with the members of the society as the protagonists.
Of course, the “Grouchy Boy” movie series had actually negatively affected a number of people in Mainland China, teaching them bad things and thus causing a series of social problems.
At that time, to be able to say a few words about the righteousness of the “Grouchy Boy” series of movies was something that made you feel more dignified, especially in the youthful rebellious period of middle school students, which was the most popular.
Kishimoto justice in the past did not feel that Shuai Kun to explain “righteousness” this traditional Chinese words is how much feeling or just think the villain is nonsense. To this day, he felt that the other side was right. The traditional Chinese character for “righteousness” was broken down by him and said, “I am the lamb.
In his eyes today, the “Grouchy Boy” movie series also reflects the way in which people at the bottom of the social ladder want to break through the ceiling of the class to find a way.
Not having read any books, not having a skillful professional skills, and not being able to suffer much, wanting to get a foothold in the society above, it will certainly become quite difficult.
Taking a meager salary, dry and mechanical, but have to work day after day, year after year. They long for upward mobility, but they are not allowed to do so.
Thus, the “Grouchy” series of movies inside the kind of gangsters, hooligans of the mighty, who want to fight, who want to cut who cut who, who kills who kills who, in and out are a gang of brothers followed, driving a good car, but also beautiful women around the embrace …… maximize the satisfaction of them from the material to the spirit of the needs of various kinds of needs.
Earlier, their previous life is still in elementary school, home with that a Panasonic VCR video tape that is played by Li Xiuxian played all kinds of violence and peace of mind of the positive image of the police.
At that time, people heard that the Hong Kong robber movie, immediately will be regarded as the meat and potatoes. This is nothing more than a movie that contains gunfights, car chases, and other elements that later generations would find cheesy and unappealing.
Almost invariably, the police triumph over the bandits, and the forces of evil are once again wiped out by the forces of good.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s well made or not. Mainlanders, anyway, as soon as they hear it’s a Hong Kong movie, someone will watch it. Even in Korea, it’s the same.
In “Please Answer 1988”, there was Sung Deok-seon’s gang getting together to watch “Hero’s Duty” with great interest. From this, it can be seen that during the glory days of Hong Kong movies, the influence was unprecedented.
Justice Kishimoto remembers very clearly that the first videotape he rented was a Hong Kong movie. A comedy movie starring Wong Pak Ming, Happy Ghost.
In those days, in addition to a deposit, you had to put down an ID card. He didn’t have one, so he had to steal his dad’s or mom’s ID card to rent a videotape to watch at home.
For those who didn’t have a VCR, the most casual way to watch it was to have a CCTV installed. For this reason, he also remembers very clearly, Hong Kong’s Phoenix Satellite Television is not yet called Phoenix Satellite Television, but called Hong Kong Satellite Chinese Channel.
One’s first knowledge of the world there is Garfield this kind of delicious and lazy orange fat cat cartoon is from the Hong Kong TV Chinese Channel.
Not only cartoons, TV dramas, even just commercials, will feel good to watch. It also replaced the highest ratings for the News at 7 o’clock every night, which appeared on all stations.
Then later, a reason banned the Hong Kong Satellite Chinese Channel in Mainland China. What used to be a media window for the general public to learn about the outside world was thus completely gone.
Hong Kong people are influenced by both Chinese and British cultures. In addition, it has a good economic location and an early start in economic development, resulting in the people of Hong Kong having a kind of overlooking the mainlanders.
This sense of superiority can be seen everywhere in Hong Kong’s early movies, which are obviously discriminatory, if not deliberately smearing.
They did not call mainlanders as they did in the latter part of the century after the economy of mainland China had risen, but they called men mainlanders and women mainlanders.
Even in 1999, there are still many girls who want to marry Hong Kong people. They just want to change their destiny by marrying someone else.
Apart from that, it is the Taiwanese. As for Macanese, there are really few. In fact, the main thing is that there are already few people in Macau, around 800,000 people.
There are more than 7 million Hong Kong people, while the Taiwanese are more than 20 million people. Then there are the overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia and other countries.
And the vast majority of these people who come to mainland China, whether they are from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, or the so-called returned overseas Chinese, are lower-middle class, or even those who can’t find wives locally.
When the economy of mainland China did not really get up, not to mention five-star hotels, or three-star hotels for the common people, that is a great place.
The people who can go in and out of them are naturally not ordinary. As soon as a woman marries out, she, as well as her friends and family, will walk into that coveted local upscale place for the first time in their lives to see the world.
Masayoshi Kishimoto is well aware that not only does Japan have oddball laws, but Hong Kong has had its share of oddball laws as well. Before the 1970s, Chinese in Hong Kong could still legally take concubines.
Not only in Hong Kong, but also in Macau and Taiwan, it was also possible to have legal concubines for quite a long period of time. The typical representative figure in Macau is the famous gambling king Stanley Ho.
He has four wives. The typical representative figure in Taiwan is Wang Yongqing of Formosa Plastics Group. He has three wives. Shouldn’t one look towards them? He couldn’t help but smile, he should surpass them.
