In the early 1980s, when " Journey to the West " was broadcast on CCTV, some people criticized its electronic music for being "inappropriate" -
How serious things can be mixed with non-serious elements ?
also suffered from the same thing happened to that year's Spring Festival Gala Fei Xiang 's " A Fire in the Winter ", when everyone was used to standing on the stage singing and singing, this mixed-race boy jumped and jumped. Heart-warming.
Many years later, the above-mentioned editor and director said with lingering fears in the center of the new era:
"Did you know how brave I was when I made this decision?" The sounds of different worlds are approached cautiously and expectantly, followed by shock, dizziness, discomfort, excitement, temptation, infatuation and eagerness to try.
This feels...like the first time I watched "Aunt and Uncle Shirtless Fight" when I was a teenager.
Therefore, a screenwriter named Anxi thinks:
looks at the Chinese world, only Teresa Teng transcends all barriers and ideology and influences a generation with singing, I agree with him very much. Because many people were shocked when they first heard this lovely Taiwanese female singer who can speak Shandong dialect sing:
, this extravagant sound is so damn sweet! hateful! No masculine and feminine! Really...
is amazing.
Time flies, when both mainlanders and Hong Kong people use mobile phones (Big Brother) and Walkman, the man named Chen Kexin has not met the woman "My name is Miss Wu, not Mrs. Chen" , while smacking the story that has long been brewing.
A story that commemorates an era with a song.
-
"All the encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence." - " generation master "
Every time I see Li Qiao ( Maggie Cheung ) and Li Xiaojun ( Dawn ) in the last scene flashback When the two of them passed each other on the Hong Kong subway, they thought of this sentence. Although it was a rant from , Wong Kar-wai, and , the feeling was extremely strong.
In the mid-1980s, Hong Kong, a place where land was worth every penny in the eyes of mainlanders back then, became a destination for many dreamers, and countless lonely souls gathered in this huge and small city.
I think the reason why the city is prosperous is because of those busy souls under the sun. But why are you lonely? Probably because of the ten thousand lights in the night sky, I often don't know which one belongs to me.
So the empty mind often murmurs:
"One day, when the other party appears in front of me, I don't know that spring is going to return, and I don't know that life is so twists and turns."
Li Qiao and Li Xiaojun met for the first time officially They are indifferent to each other. Li Xiaojun from the mainland always said, "We are fellows", while Li Qiao firmly said, "I speak Cantonese, just like Hong Kong people." Then he taught Li Xiaojun all kinds of Hong Kong locals over and over again dialect.
Li Xiaojun said: "I'll pick you up after work, I have a car."
"Do you have a car?" A bit of surprise appeared on Li Qiao's face-
The scene turned, and in a classic scene, Li Qiao was funny Sitting happily on the back seat of the bicycle again, she said: "You don't call a car, you call a bicycle..."
The lonely men and widows in the great era made short-lived happiness on the bicycle.
Chen Kexin has a lot of ink on Li Xiaojun in the lens. On the one hand, as a Hong Kong director, in the creation of the same era, he very much hopes to find the way of survival after the "cousins" went to Hong Kong. On the other hand, as a film genius who is good at making literary and horror films into documentaries, black and white is not important, what is important is to "faithfully record" the joys and sorrows of small people in the next history.
So how do these two lonely souls connect?
only Teresa Teng, and the song " Sweet Honey ".
One said:
I love Teresa Teng, I love listening to her songs, because she is gentle, unlike the tunes I heard before, it is full of fighting spirit.
Another said:
I also like to listen, because she is real, why can't people have feelings? Why always say "we" instead of "I"?
They don't know that "we" is just an empty concept, and "I" will become "we" only when they collide together.
Before that, Teresa Teng could only wish through the space:
Sweet honey, your smile is so sweet, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze.

"I heard that you are afraid of my friend, I will bring him to see you this time." Li Xiaojun respectively:
The two suddenly found out that neither of them was ideal to come to Hong Kong. Li Xiaojun often wrote letters to his fiancée Fang Xiaoting ( Yang Gongru ), in which he described the paradise in his mind. and vision, and make a wish to pick her up as soon as possible.
Li Qiao saves money while running around every day. She can't wait to do more than a dozen jobs separately. The short time with Li Xiaojun is her only comfort in a foreign land, but they all forget one thing:
This couple originally had their own duty of.
Li Xiaojun's mission is to fulfill his promise, and the husband and wife will follow.
Li Qiao's mission is to make money and keep herself safe.
Finally one day, Xiaoting came and Li Qiao went.
Because a woman's intuition is very accurate, the two women seem to have made a clear statement to each other when they look at each other:
"I beg you, make it happen to us."However, the phrase "all encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence".
李翘当起了按摩师，豹哥（曾志伟 饰）出现了——
“妹子，给我口。”
“不干。”
“给钱。”
“滚。”
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
"I'm only afraid of mice..."
Goodbye, Brother Leopard tattooed a Mickey Mouse on his back and said those words. Li Qiao smiled.
In fact, whether it is Li Xiaojun or Li Qiao, after all, they are people from "small places". What they see and touch is hard to tell, good and evil, and it all depends on God's will. When Li Xiaojun thought he could be a good husband to take care of the family, Li Qiao finally fell into Brother Leopard's arms.
The underworld is matched with a working girl, an old bastard is mixed with a little girl, it seems that in any emotional description, it will not end well, so is "Sweet Honey". However, Chen Kexin is gentle after all. He doesn't have to label people "heinous" like in ordinary market stories. He thinks:
"Punks? A punk who tattoos Mickey Mouse on his back for girls is also quite cute. "
So when Brother Leopard committed a crime and ran away and was shot and killed by a new generation of gangsters on the street, Maggie Cheung started a performance of consecration under Chen Kexin's suggestion:
The tattoo reappears, and people are gone forever.
When she first met, she smiled, recalling the tenderness and uninhibitedness of that year.
Mu Ran woke up, the person in front of her became a memory of her past life, and she cried.
What about Brother Leopard? Never blame her.
When Li Qiao and Li Xiaojun met that day, the two long-lost people were shocked to realize that their relationship was not broken, and their hearts were still. Li Qiao mustered up the courage to explain to Brother Leopard, but saw a group of younger brothers rushing around, Brother Leopard said to her:
"Go, wake up, open the window and see, there are men all over the street, all of them. Better than me..."
At this time, Li Qiao's temperament is revealed -
loves money and also has affection.
greedy, but righteous.
So over the years, I have often imagined that if Chen Kexin was joking, I wonder if Li Qiao would really become a "sister-in-law" from now on, as for Li Xiaojun? No matter how Xiao Ting reprimanded him, the divorce will eventually be divorced, and she will be an ordinary person without love. On May 8, 1995, Teresa Teng passed away.
At that time, major radio stations, TV stations, newspapers, magazines and magazines reported overnight on this "extraordinary voice" who was criticized by some people in the mainland. The commemoration of her is more like a surprise to see a cheerful and bright era. gone.
At that time, the mainland Qiongyao opera was very popular. After three years, "having a girl" became the ultimate dream of thousands of girls in life. Before that, on July 1, 1997, Hong Kong returned to .
This time point is very interesting, and it is also in the era of old and new.
Hong Kong that year, there are many speculations in the market that seem ridiculous now, such as whether A SIR will be installed in a public installation that is not easy to use? Will everyone call each other "comrades" in the future? Will "We" still be able to make tertiary films in the future? Can you still race horses? Can you travel around the world?
results, Chen Kexin said:
"You all guessed wrong, the cousins have long been more foreign than us."
later proved that he was right.
Chen Kexin has been entangled with "Miss Wu", his story has become a unique taste in my memory, which is different from Tsui Hark and Zhou Xingchi , the sweetness and bitterness in his pictures are more direct, and also let Above the people:
I look at the smoke from the south of the city, and I don't know that the wind and sand are falling all over the mountain.
Li Xiaojun, who wandered to Hong Kong to work hard in those years, has entered middle age one after another, and what awaits them is a "reunion after a long absence" with their homesickness in their lives. It's just that in these ten years, some people are happy and some people are unfortunate. The unfortunate "Li Xiaojun" made Chen Kexin's arrangement into " Three Watch: Homecoming ", and the happy "Li Xiaojun" was arranged by him to stand by the window one afternoon and watch the news broadcast on TV——
Teresa Teng, generation Chinese female singer, bid farewell to the world from now on.
sighing, he turned his head and found a familiar face on the opposite side, the two stared at each other for a long time and smiled. The melody of
"Sweet Honey" sounded, and Chen Kexin's story ended.
Some people often love to talk about majestic or indomitable in the big era, but I like to watch Chen Kexin, he likes to integrate the little people into the big era, and uses paragraphs of love-hate clutches to make the audience, especially those who witnessed it, recite a memory from their hearts. ripple.
is like Li Xiaojun, he is honest, rigid and incomprehensible, and likes to wear swimming trunks as underwear. In his memory, he had to pick up his "lover", but he was silent when his lover questioned him:
Am I falling in love with someone because of loneliness, or am I lonely because I fell in love with someone?
Li Qiao, for example, is a philistine and shrewd. She rejects the "cousin" who regards her as the same kind, but has to follow her own desires:
I'm just an ordinary woman, if you love me more, I'll go with you .
Love me tenderly or domineeringly.
For example, Brother Leopard, I like this character very much, he is a Jianghu person, I thought such a person would only "play and sing" to girls (get out of the car a little), but when he was sitting paralyzed, I saw this man full of The reluctance and sadness on the face:
girl, I love you, so go as far as you can, don't let me hurt you.
For example, Teresa Teng is occasionally seen in many film and television dramas. No matter "there are many stories in a small town" or "seeing the smoke again", the performers are extremely gentle to her, because she is the one who treats her once regarded as a beast of a flood. The sound of extravagance" sighed softly into our ears.
made me suddenly realize that in addition to "Grandma, listen to me!", there was another girl, Huaichun, who was sitting alone by the window.
If you think about it carefully, in Chen Kexin's story, are the two people in love or dependence?
Where do I know?
I only know that at any time, there is no shortage of lonely souls in the city.
These souls always love to agree with Chen Kexin's story in the middle of the night separated by time and space:
The song "Sweet Honey" is our raving.
Every encounter in the world should have been a reunion after a long absence.
