Last weekend, I missed the beauty of Yi Mian, so I picked up the movie and watched it again. After watching it, I watched the year 1998, oh, this is a movie from the last century.
It must be said that I don’t watch TV much now, I don’t watch TVB, I basically don’t watch domestically produced TV dramas, and British dramas, American dramas, Japanese dramas, and Korean dramas rotate. Probably a lot of people are similar. It is difficult to compare foreigners with tall noses and deep eyes. Asia is used to seeing handsome Korean guys and Johnnys, but turning around suddenly, he finds that the handsome guys in the Chinese-speaking circle are so handsome. Yi Mian is really handsome, with a black leather coat and long hair fluttering, just like in the comics; Aaron Kwok has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his appearance or body proportions are all eaten by his ancestors. Looking at it and thinking, really the entertainment industry must have a hardware foundation. Stars in the past were carefully selected by industry insiders and competed under limited media conditions, and the quality was really different. Now the whole content, if you stir up a scandal, you will become a person in the circle. Is the threshold too low? When Yang Gongru was at his peak, his heart was as gentle and pleasant as the moon. Although the movie characters have some vases, they are also delicate and beautiful.
I also think it's the contrast between the actors on both sides of the Taiwan Strait that is amazing. International chapters played small supporting roles during the internal period, and Xu Jinglei, Wang Zhiwen, and Yu Rongguang also appeared as supporting roles who died shortly after. Twenty years from now, it's hard to imagine. The prosperity of the mainland film market and the decline of the Hong Kong film market can be seen.
Special effects, yes, more than 50% special effects. In a trance, I felt that the special effects of Hong Kong movies were not much worse than Hollywood. This special effect looks timeless now, even better than some movies. Back then, I didn't like such special effects very much, I thought it was a martial arts movie. Now all kinds of magic blockbusters have long been accustomed to special effects, but they feel that there is nothing missing. It turns out that it wasn't because the movie was bad back then that I didn't keep up with the times.
If this film is released in the past two years, how much box office will this lineup, this story, and this special effect? I didn't expect that I felt the prosperity of Hong Kong movies for the first time not from films like Sweet Honey and In the Mood for Love, but from the situation. It should have been a very good era, when it was too young, there were too many prejudices and understandings, and old movies were rewatched, and they had a unique flavor.
