When the program started, they did not talk about Fang Yi's good news immediately. Instead, they introduced Fang Yi's life first.
It is estimated that some viewers were a little surprised when a young man in his twenties gave this "life summary", but the host Dou Wentao said with emotion:
"More than two years ago, I made an agreement with the great director. I hope he can come again. And I said that when he comes again, I hope our program can continue to be run, run better, and barely get a little bit of his credit.
I'm afraid he flew too high and didn't want to come back... We are now in a Hong Kong-style restaurant near the recording studio. It's not dark yet, so we can't see the lights of the Hong Kong city after nightfall, but it's already very beautiful.
…”
"I would like to ask you to add a navigation map here later, a distant view. Can you see the large sloping buildings on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront? Yes, that will be the center of urban topics on April 18, and we may invite
The most shining person that day—" Dou Wentao spread his hands and said, "Should I add one of them? No, I don't want to add one here."
"This is my blessing and my judgment!" He looked at Fang Yi, and the camera also showed Fang Yi and his group at this time. The voice-over said, "The blessing comes from a friend of the guest, and the judgment comes from a fellow in the cultural industry.
An insider."
"I have been in the industry for more than ten years, and I can be considered an insider. I pride myself on being knowledgeable and have seen some art... who are the real geniuses, who are the talents worthy of respect, and who are the ordinary people who have been promoted?
, I have feelings, I have thoughts..."
"And I have a hunch that today's episode may be an ordinary episode to record at the moment, just like every episode I have recorded before, but only time can tell me whether it will be
Become a classic."
In addition to Dou Wentao, the hosts are Liang Wendao and Xu Zidong (Chinese professor from Hong Kong).
This statement was in the script and everyone knew it, but when Dou Wentao read it like this, it was like thunder, reverberating in people's hearts, and they didn't think what he said was too exaggerated.
The picture gives everyone a reaction after hearing it, silent, surging, nervous, indifferent...
"Last time, Director Fang came and made our program team shine; this time, the thing that brings the glory has to be bigger than the program team. It has to be this building, or the cultural center, or this city - how can you
look?"
The person who answered was Xu Zidong.
As an intellectual, Xu Zidong has a withdrawn and arrogant attitude, but when it comes to matters that far surpass him, he appears to be very powerful. Therefore, he has a very good impression of Fang Yi, and he did not hesitate at all to follow Dou Wentao's words:
"Of course it is an exaggeration to say that one person shines in a city, but it is indeed because of many 'one people' that Hong Kong has been infused with today's cultural heritage...Cultural creation is a matter for the elite, a masterpiece born of a few geniuses."
"For example, you can certainly say that the Italian Renaissance came from a suitable environment and developed industry and commerce... But without specific individuals such as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Raphael, I am afraid that the Renaissance would not have existed.
Such a high status!”
Dou Wentao asked: "Is Director Fang one of the three literary heroes in the film industry?"
Xu Zidong: "I don't know, maybe the organizing committee of the Academy Awards will know."
"When our program is broadcast, we already know what happened to the Academy Awards. The audience can see if Xu Zidong is right - whether the Academy Awards will rectify Director Fang's name! Can he accept changes and embrace changes...
"
Director Liang Wen interrupted: "This is not the way our program talks. Yours is too formal. I think Xu Zidong has accepted and embraced the changes. He is convinced! So do you think the organizing committee is convinced?"
Dou Wentao laughed: "I don't know, the people in front of the screen have to know this! Since we have talked about this topic, give our director Fang a close-up of a few seconds, maybe the news can use it."
Fang Yi spread his hands and smiled at the camera.
This is a preset script on the script, starting with "Hong Kong Culture".
This group of people is actually acting. They have already reached a consensus in private on what point of view they want to express, but they want to put it on the show, asking and answering questions, and singing and singing.
Sure enough, Dou Wentao suddenly pretended to be a half-understanding fool and remembered something, "I once read a report that said that the early culture in Hong Kong was actually brought by the wave of people from the mainland... Who were those people? After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong
The cultural elites of Hong Kong are mainly from the Magic City, so the culture of Hong Kong at the beginning was actually the culture of the Magic City, right?"
Xu Zidong was waiting for this to ask: "You are right!"
He described in detail the earliest origins of Hong Kong culture:
As a small fishing port town that was once under the jurisdiction of the British, Hong Kong did not have much local culture in the early days because there were too few indigenous people in the true sense. According to the British statistics in 1841, there were only 7,450 people on the island at that time. Today it is 700
There are more than 10,000 people. Its population mainly comes from immigrants from various eras. The immigrants have different cultures, languages, and habits.
After a place like this develops economically, of course it will spontaneously produce citizen culture and then have prosperous cultural products, but it will not happen so quickly or so early. Because the development of culture generally lags far behind the economy, and also
There must be a large number of people dedicated to continuous creation and providing enough cultural products.
Therefore, the earliest "Hong Kong culture" was actually the local culture brought by the immigrant elites from various places. Although the absolute number of the Modu sect was not large, the quality of the cultural elite was high. These people came from one of the largest cities in Asia at the time.
His works and lifestyle are the most influential and attractive. In the 1960s and 1970s, they essentially became the mainstream culture of Hong Kong citizens.
Fang Yi also participated in the discussion. He acted as an encyclopedia and confirmed that the statement of the hosting trio was correct.
For example, the four great talents in Hong Kong: Jin Yong, Ni Kuang, Huang Zhan and Cai Lam were from Zhejiang, Shanghai, Yangcheng and Chaozhou respectively. The quality of the works of these four people was high and their output was quite large, but none of them were indigenous.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Take Jin Yong as an example. Suppose he lived in Hong Kong since he was a child, received a British education, and had not been exposed to mainland culture for a day - and then wrote "Xia Zhi Zhi"
Those who are great serve the country and the people.”
it's out of the question.
A more obvious example is South Korea. South Korea's local talent and market have better starting conditions than Hong Kong, but today's Korean cultural products are essentially a stitching of American and East Asian Confucianism - whether it is fried chicken, military pot or kpop.
South Korea's absolute internal spontaneous culture is quite lacking and cannot support such creative output, let alone Hong Kong?
How many people argued for a long time, and what conclusion did they come to?
Hong Kong cultural products themselves are the absorption and re-creation of local mainland culture. It was not until around the 1980s that cultural products that combined Hong Kong characteristics were truly born - the Hong Kong films we are familiar with.
After that, Hong Kong films shone brightly for more than ten years, influencing the mainland and even the whole of Asia.
It’s not that Hong Kong and Land are so awesome that they are born to make good movies, but that the heroes of that generation created the situation and will eventually return to the mean.
If you have to find an ancestor for Hong Kong film, its origin is indeed in the north.
Fang Yi and the trio had a pleasant chat, and basically reached a consensus. Everyone understood it, but no one said it clearly: "Hong Kong movies" are not authentic. This is a false proposition, and it is itself the product of a combination of cultures.
So if you give a biased award evaluation at the Academy Awards because the film "Zodiac" is not "Hong Kong-flavored" enough, you can only say it is quite funny.
The lower class citizens may not be able to realize this, but as cultural elites who give out awards, they have more experience and knowledge, and also have the responsibility to lead the local cultural community on the right track. Of course, you cannot make such a mistake. If you make a mistake, you
But the credibility of this award has been completely destroyed.
Fang Yi nodded frequently and breathed a sigh of relief during a break in topics.
Everyone has stopped clicking, but unfortunately the topic is too sharp, and people who understand it will not feel comfortable hearing it.
Fortunately, by the time the show aired, the results had already been announced.
