The Lunar New Year is a grand festival with thousands of years of Chinese cultural tradition. I believe that no Chinese takes the New Year lightly. However, celebrating the Lunar New Year in Hong Kong is very different from tradition in terms of customs and atmosphere.
After a hundred years of British rule, few Hong Kong people stick to the tradition of posting Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures at home during the Lunar New Year. Instead, they put up Spring Festival greetings such as "Business is prosperous" and "Safe travels in and out" in some shops or homes.
Even so, the original intention of posting Hunchun is the same as posting Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures. It has an auspicious meaning and hopes that everything will go well and be safe in the coming year.
In addition, lion dances, dragon dances, etc. will also be performed in some villages and walled villages in the New Territories. Large-scale lion dances and dragon dances are also difficult to see on the streets of urban areas during the New Year. As for setting off firecrackers, fireworks, etc.
It is strictly prohibited in Hong Kong, but since 1982, a grand fireworks show has been held on Victoria Harbor every year on the second day of the Lunar New Year. This has become a must-have program for Hong Kong people to welcome the Spring Festival.
Hong Kong is known as a "food paradise" and a "shopping paradise". There are many customs related to eating during the Spring Festival. Most families will also have a "reunion dinner" during the Spring Festival. They usually hold a banquet at home, and the whole family gathers together on New Year's Eve.
Next, we gather together inside and outside to enjoy dinner. And there is a big program after dinner
, the first choice is probably to visit the flower market. During the Lunar New Year, there are New Year’s Eve markets in many places in Hong Kong and Kowloon, among which the flower market in Victoria Park is the largest and busiest. Hong Kong citizens are accustomed to visiting the flower market as a family after dinner, especially on New Year’s Eve?
There are huge crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder, everyone celebrating the festival together.
During the Lunar New Year in Hong Kong, the happiest thing is the children collecting "lucky things". During the Spring Festival greetings, you can hear laughter everywhere asking for "lucky things". "Lishi" originally means "good things".
Bringing good fortune and good intentions has also become an indispensable custom for spending time with relatives during the Spring Festival.
Compared with mainland China, the Spring Festival in Hong Kong is relatively cool, sensible and simple. Few people will deliberately spend money to prepare for the New Year, and there are no deafening firecrackers. Every household has large and small houses covered with red couplets.
"Ocean", there are no teams of New Year greeting teams dressed in brand new clothes, there is no marathon banquet with "cups and drinks" from morning to night, and other indescribable festive atmosphere.
But this does not mean that Hong Kong people have been westernized by the British and do not pay attention to the Spring Festival. Due to their busy and stressful work, most of them use the Spring Festival holidays to travel, while some return to the mainland to celebrate the New Year and take the opportunity to visit their parents or
Relatives and friends. Although Hong Kong is a relatively Westernized society, many Chinese still retain the customs of celebrating the New Year in the Mainland, such as having group dinners on New Year's Eve. The only difference is that they are usually held in restaurants.
Speaking of the reunion dinner, the so-called reunion dinner in the Mainland refers to the reunion dinner that the family eats on New Year's Eve. In Hong Kong, in addition to the family, companies also have reunion dinners. In Hong Kong, it is called Chunming. The company's reunion dinner is usually eaten after the Spring Festival.
In addition to the participation of all employees of the company, representatives who have business dealings with the company will also be invited to participate. The company boss takes the opportunity of the Spring Festival to reward employees who have worked hard for a year on the one hand, and on the other hand to thank the cooperative units, so each company attaches great importance to the year
Once upon a time, spring tea.
After going to the United States, Feng Yifeng has not celebrated the New Year in Hong Kong for many years. This year, since his grandfather and parents in Canada went on a trip, Lin Fengjiao naturally accompanied them, so this time he did not think about going to Canada to celebrate the Spring Festival. But he
In order to prevent this New Year from being too deserted, I called Wenxiu and Zhao Yazhi to the old house to spend a warm and warm New Year with Aunt Xia.
For Aunt Xia, she has been guarding this big house deserted for so many years. No one comes and goes, and celebrating the New Year is just a meaning. But this year is different. Not only did Feng Yifeng and Wen Xiu celebrate the New Year with her, but
Even Zhao Yazhi, who surprised her by showing up, would affectionately call her "Aunt Xia, Aunt Xia, Aunt Xia, how affectionate is that" when she saw her.
Zeng Zhiwei, who has not gone to Taiwan, has naturally become a frequent visitor to the old house. This short guy, who has no sense of shame, actually regards this place as his home. In addition to going home to sleep at night, he basically comes here early in the morning.
Arriving at the old house, from
We ate here from breakfast to dinner. When I was free, I asked Feng Yifeng to talk about his development in Hong Kong in the past few years and his "weird history". When he talked about dry mouth, he even asked the servant to bring him tea.
and dim sum, don’t treat yourself as an outsider at all.
The time to celebrate goes by very quickly. Hong Kong people can easily spend a few days of vacation. Busy Hong Kong people from abroad and at home are rushing back to Hong Kong because they have to start new jobs in the new year. Feng Yifeng
He also got his first pass, but it wasn't the director who called him
, it was Eric Tsang who personally brought him to the filming location of the movie, because Eric Tsang was also invited to play a cameo role in this movie. I heard from him that in addition to his guest role, he also invited Tang Zhenye, Luo Haokai and Liao Anli.
Come and make a guest appearance and become a green leaf for these newcomers.
There are only less than ten lines of dialogue in the script. Feng Yifeng has read it no less than a hundred times. It may not be possible for him to recite it by heart, but he has clearly memorized the number of words in each line of dialogue and said each line of dialogue no less than dozens of times in front of the mirror.
All over. We also found Zhao Yazhi and Eric Tsang
When acting with him, he has to perform basically every line of dialogue and expression perfectly before he is willing to stop. Even Zhao Yazhi praised him for his hard work, which is the most basic condition for an artist. Now, in addition to his acting skills, he also needs to hone his skills.
This kind of tireless hard work has fully qualified.
Although Eric Tsang and Zhao Yazhi accompany him in the scene, the actual filming is completely different. After all, when the opponent changes, whether the emotion can be invested immediately depends on the artist's on-the-spot performance. This cannot be achieved through teaching or practice.
Being able to do it depends on long-term experience and personal qualities and cultivation as an actor.
Xinyi City rented a vacant villa and renovated it into a training school. Most of Feng Yifeng's scenes were staged here, and before he came, the male and female protagonists had been filming here for several days.
.Today is also the first time that Feng Yifeng has come to the filming scene. According to Eric Tsang, he will complete nearly half of the scenes in his script today, and the rest will be completed in the next two days, so that he can be mentally prepared and ready at any time.
You may have to work the night shift.
The scenes in the villa account for an important part of the whole movie, and most of the plots happen and start from here. When Zeng Zhiwei brought Feng Yifeng to the renovated villa, at the door, Feng Yifeng saw a very unusual three-color
The logo is really similar to the TVB emblem. I don’t know if New Arts City did this intentionally or if it reached some agreement with TVB. The TVB emblem was changed and used here. I don’t know if it’s necessary.

Andy Lau, who arrived earlier than him, had already changed his clothes and was waiting somewhere. He was holding a piece of paper and carrying something on his back. He probably just received his dialogue. Now he is thinking about it. He does not have the kind of privileges given by Huang Baiming.
, only after receiving the notice and arriving at the shooting scene, will the assistant director give instructions on the dialogue and what to do during the shooting.
"A Feng, you are here! How are you spending the New Year? I originally wanted you to come to my house to celebrate the New Year, but you declined several times. I don't know what you are busy with. Isn't it with your girlfriend?" Andy Lau saw it.
Feng Yifeng and Eric Tsang came in, stood up to say hello, put their hands on Feng Yifeng's shoulders and complained.
During the Spring Festival, Andy Lau knew that none of Feng Yifeng's family members were in Hong Kong. He just lived in an old house with an old servant. He was worried that he would be lonely, so he called him many times and asked him to come to the New Territories to play together.
, celebrate the New Year together. After all, Andy Lau and his family are much more lively than Feng Yifeng alone in Hong Kong.
"Haha!" Of course Feng Yifeng can't say that during the past few days during the New Year, except when Zeng Zhiwei came, he spent the rest of the time with Wenxiu and Zhao Yazhi at home. "Thank you for your warm invitation, but I
I haven’t been back to Hong Kong for the Chinese New Year in many years, and I have some friends who want to spend time with me. You and your family are celebrating the holidays, so how can I stop disturbing you too much?”
"What does this have to do with it? The most important thing during the Chinese New Year is the excitement. The urban area of Hong Kong cannot be compared with the New Territories. If it were not for the fireworks in Victoria Harbor this year, there would not be much New Year atmosphere in the urban area at all. Where is it like the New Territories?
There are firecrackers and fireworks, as well as vegetable dishes and dragon dances during the reunion, which are impossible to see in the urban area."
"Well, next year I will come to your house to feel the New Territories New Year atmosphere, but you just don't think I'm annoying."
"How could it be? My family is the most hospitable. As long as someone comes to my home, they will be warmly welcomed. Don't think my home is simple."
"Hey! Stop chatting there and get down quickly. There are still a lot of scenes that have not been completed this year. Do you want to stay up all night?" Just as the two were chatting happily, Andy Lau kept talking about things that can only be found in the New Territories.
New Year's celebration. The assistant director's voice sounded like a commanding Yama. The assistant director, holding a notebook, looked at Feng Yifeng and Andy Lau with an unkind look on his face and said, "You two are
Don't you want to wait for me to invite you to take your place? I wonder if many people are waiting? If you don't want to act, please tell me as soon as possible and I can replace you immediately. Your role is watched by many people. This world will not be the same without you.
It's still going on, don't take yourself so seriously, do you think you are a big star? Are you a brother or a sister? You want me to come and invite you, you are not self-conscious at all."
The words of the assistant director are undoubtedly unpleasant to hear, but what he said is indeed the truth. Don’t challenge the authority of those on-set staff until you have the ability, especially the assistant director who has the power of life and death over minor supporting actors and extras.
People. They can replace you with just a word, without giving any reason. On the set, in addition to the producer and director, even the assistant director has the greatest power. What props and scenery need to be built for each scene?
, he will handle and coordinate what is needed
He is also the one who finds supporting roles and extras. In the end, he even manages the costumes, makeup, lunch boxes and tea. He plays the role of a housekeeper, and naturally has great power. (If you want to know the authority of the assistant director, you can read

】, the assistant director can tell a supporting actor or a supporting actor who does not do what he is told to get out at any time, and he may not even give you a lunch box. This is the most common thing in the filming process of Hong Kong movies, and it is also a must for those young actors who start from the lowest level.
It is inevitable to go through the road).
