Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

According to reliable sources, at the premiere of "The Rooftop Postman" that year, at the moment the ending of the movie was played, the entire venue was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

"The so-called civilized people who look at the 'backward places' and fight desperately for a little profit have always been used to standing in the so-called civilized places, overlooking the backward places in the East from a high position, but this time, they kicked it Iron plate—in the second half of the movie, the ideology and metaphor shown by the movie plot have greatly impacted their long-standing concepts.”

"Just like the Walled City of Kowloon was once known as a small society, this movie, in just over two hours, uses an extremely calm brushwork, with 'backward' alluding to 'civilization', so that those who like to watch the dark side of our country The people who do not laugh can no longer laugh..."

"I've seen a lot of movies about the Walled City, but the only one that focuses on the Walled City and has done most of the live-action shooting is "The Rooftop Postman", which I don't know how to describe—— ——Every plot of it talks about the past and backwardness, but the idea it wants to express is the completely opposite future and civilization.”

"Probably since the "Rooftop Postman", Mary Sue has embarked on her road of "foresight and accurate prophet", using the stories in the walled city to hint at the problems derived from the rapid development; this is the other There is a potential hidden danger that the country has begun to alert to, but our country has not yet brought to the attention."

"From the property market bubble to the aging of the population, they are all based on the struggle between people and capital; but what is implied in the ending of the story, that the undercover police use electronic evidence to expose crimes, involves a new legal issue. , and also became the source of inspiration for the introduction of the "Computer Evidence Act 1983" in our country..."

After flipping through the cut-out footage of the movie, someone with a heart found the ins and outs of the plot of electronic evidence exposing the crime: This somewhat confusing turnaround plot is that Yun Ji, an electrician, sneaked into Hongfa's office to steal the contract. The insurance policy left behind by the computer in the office.

At the same time, it also became the basis for Ah Wing to discover Ka Fai's problems and quickly make up for his mistakes after he left the Walled City, so as to bring down Hong Fat in the end.

Because of the length of the movie, the scene where Yun Ji stole the contract was completely cut out by Su Yun herself in the premiere and public release versions of the movie, that is, after the high-definition collection disc was released, a new cut was made. The 3-hour full story version will make fans who love this movie or Su Yun extremely addicted.

Since Su Yun's debut, no matter the big or small productions, she has mainly made commercial films. "The Rooftop Postman" is one of her rare literary and artistic films. In addition to writing, directing and acting, she also brought people in the 80s to appreciate "Color Contacts", a magical new technology product that can change the color of pupils.

Of course, when Su Yun used the colored contact lenses jointly developed with Johnson & Johnson on a large scale, it was another series she used to praise Hong Kong and Taiwan actresses and make the beauty of modern oriental women famous at home and abroad. The movie "Sister Demon Slayer"...

Compared with the discussion after the premiere and release of the film, those audiences in later generations who seem to have the perspective of God given by time, while reviewing the classics, are even more amazed at Su Yun's "long-term vision" ——

"I seriously suspect that in the 80s, Su Yun had already sensed that the variant of the Walled City, 'City Village', and other derivatives of the development of the times were about to be born, so she accurately sniped at the 'Kowloon Walled City of Ethnic Minorities' that is later known as the 'Kowloon Walled City' Chungking Mansions, and Quarry Bay, known as the 'Monster Building' and the 'New Walled City'; thus, He Bo, who stole the interests of the neighbors, and Jia Fai, who had good intentions to do bad things, thought they had escaped from the Walled City and wiped out the Walled City. , and unknowingly, once again returned to the loathed 'walled city'..."

"Everyone wants to have a perfect ending, but in the end they can only end up in a mess-selfish people die from dedication, loyal people lose their original intentions; those who steal fire are doomed, and those who hold salaries survive from desperation; Those who stick to it are defeated by the changing times, and those who change their wings lose their wings... There is no doubt that this is a story with no real right or wrong."

"It only cares about the angle and position you stand on, and uses an absolutely neutral way to show all of this: the incomparable beauty in the eyes of the curiosity hunter is the unbearable scar of the owner-but in this corruption, There are still attached galls..."

"This is also evidence that they have survived."

There are many kinds of wonderful comments on literary films, and there are many classics that can make the film more brilliant, or dig into the "true meaning" in it, so that the director and screenwriter have a look of bewilderment and express that they didn't think so much at the time; , as far as being close to the earth is concerned, it seems that Wen Qingfan's wonderful comments are not as good as those eccentric comments that are more popular with the general public...

"I have no education, and my brain is not very good. I can always fall asleep within 10 minutes of watching literary films, but after watching the old film "The Rooftop Postman" soberly, I just want to say one thing. The thing - those so-called international directors who rely on filming the dark side of the motherland to win awards outside, can they learn from Mary Sue's film that seems to show the backward dark side to please the foreign devils, but in fact it has been trying its best to ridicule the foreign devils? Is the classic masterpiece of the era okay?!"

"That is, one or two photos are taken, or they are remote and backward mountainous areas that can only be accessed by taking the 11th Road, or it is a backward village where the entire village may not be able to get a primary school education. Looking at the scars that the motherland has not healed and being ridiculed by others in exchange for this award and that award, this dirty act of selling one's mother for glory makes people feel phlegm-he~tui!"

"1, but the problem is that many people just read the problems that Marysu had foreseen in the 80s, and then stepped heavily into the pits that have already been prompted..."

"No way, if you want to overtake another car in a corner, and use decades to complete the development of others for hundreds of years, you will inevitably have this kind of leftover problem, and you have to step on these pits yourself. Only then can we understand the meaning of it-not to mention us, many countries outside also have serious property market bubbles and aging problems. ..."

"Shh, don't talk about it, even "The Rooftop Postman", which was specially approved by the above to be released in China without deleting the entire film, was changed for a while in the last sentence of the ending, changing the word 'capital' It became a 'gap' - although this is already a small change that fits the original intention, the intensity of the ridicule has been reduced a lot..."

"Changing two words is considered a small effort. This film is still banned in some places, and it is not allowed to be released. However, this regulation is much cheaper than the owner of the video store..."

"Tsk, I rented the disc of this film when I was studying abroad. The more it is banned, the more people want to watch it. Video stores are often in short supply hahahaha!"

All of the above are things to talk about.

Back in the middle of 1982, when "The Postman" was just finished filming, Su Yun stood in the dimly lit small screening room, waiting solemnly for Zhao Rifu to read the rough-cut commentary.

"It's very thoughtful and very adventurous." Zhao Rifu said in a deep tone after watching the ending of the two generations on the rooftop where the ideas of the two generations were exchanged and enlightened.

After watching the film, Zhao Rifu, who originally had great hopes for Su Yun's literary film, gave the green light, but because the content shown in the film is more serious than the script, he began to have the problem of whether it should be as planned, A new consideration for sending "The Rooftop Postman" outside to participate in the awards.

"I think this film is worth fighting for." Because what he did secretly was related to the real estate market, and what "The Rooftop Postman" criticized was the behavior of capitalists maliciously messing up the real estate market, Zhao Liming originally read the entire script. She was almost astonished, and she made a lot of efforts in private to help Su Yun facilitate the filming.

"Of course it is a good thing to win an award, but if you can't win it, it will be a very offensive thing." Compared with the two young people who are full of ambitions, Zhao Rifu's considerations are more in-depth and realistic.

"Sir Zhao." Su Yun changed her common name of Sixth Uncle and called Zhao Rifu respectfully, "I don't think Mrs. Zhao will be afraid of offending people like this—especially under your leadership. .”

"Besides, overseas, the strength of the Zhao family has never been underestimated. It's just a matter of luck, and there have been some small mistakes..." Although, most of the relevant overseas people think that the Zhao family is stupid and has a lot of money. It's tacitly understood, but as long as you look at it from another angle, can a person with a lot of money be strong and able to withstand tossing?

"Xiangjiang movies have never lacked good stories, but they just lack a stage to show the whole world, to show the profound thoughts inherited from the mysterious East..." Su Yun said more and more smoothly, more and more vigorously, and almost missed I was moved to believe it, "Although the culture born in the ancient country has a thin barrier in the western world, I believe that excellent ideas have no national boundaries like music, but will be appreciated because of the uniqueness contained in them. Its national character has become the fundamental basis for it to stand out and the unique solid foundation..."

Until Zhao Rifu promised to send "The Rooftop Postman" to the Berlin Film Festival, and the two walked out of the owner's exclusive small screening room side by side, Zhao Liming's vision of "you can really blow it" still did not take back.

"You don't have to look at me like this. The reason why Uncle Six agreed to use this film for the award is probably because I saw him in the past..." Su Yun smiled and shook her head: Zhao Rifu took the risk to return to Xiangjiang from Nanyang to develop Zhao, apart from the support of his parents and brothers, the most important thing is his fighting spirit, which is willing to take risks and dare to take risks.

Therefore, even though the Zhao Corporation had obvious ups and downs in recent years, Zhao Rifu still did not give up on this film company that had already begun to reduce production, and started to follow the less but more precise route that Su Yun expected to see, reducing production and improving quality.

"Blade Runner", a super-era sci-fi film that swallowed a large sum of Zhao's funds, is doomed to lose money in the current era, but if it is changed for the box office-in the history of film, a classic sci-fi film will be lost God made.

It's not bad, but it's so good and so ahead of its time that there are not many people in this era who can satisfy the level of insight that touches its profound connotation.

Therefore, these days, Su Yun is just working hard to do a good job in post-production special effects, and shooting commercial and literary films to earn word-of-mouth and box office to offset it.

As long as they can survive the losses caused by "Blade Runner", Zhao's film company should not end up in the end of production suspension as in memory.
