tearjerker director

Chapter 896 Must keep this top, don't be afraid of others

In the original version, the song "The Thief of Time" is not the theme song of the movie "The Thief of Time". The song is several years later than the movie.

The original theme song is "Frivolous and Frivolous", actually both songs are very nice, but in the end Li Yi chose "The Thief of Time" as the theme song of the first trailer.

Because of the theme song of the same name, and the song "The Thief of Time" once smashed the Internet in my memory, and paired with the movie of the same name, the effect of publicity should be very good.

It turns out that it is.

After watching the MV trailer of "The Thief of Time", many movie fans responded enthusiastically.

"Can I say Ting Ge Ting Cry?"

"Crying while laughing, people who keep laughing don't understand!"

"I was lonely watching the trailer, but it's really good to cry with the song!"

"Time is a journey that never returns, good or bad are scenery, tearful eyes! I think of her once!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

"The lyrics hit my tear hole, I think of grandma, woo woo woo!"

"The most important thing is to keep the roof!"

"Being a human being always has to believe, even with tears in your eyes! Cry!"

"Life is a difficult step, an easy step, and so on and on! Eh!"

After the song of the same name was launched, this song, which anyone can resonate with after listening to it, began to pervade the Internet like a virus.

It was directly on the list in just a few days, and then it got out of hand.

Many people joked that they don't know how the movie is, but the song is really good.For a while, the limelight of the song overshadowed the limelight of the movie.

However, this itself is also part of the movie's promotion, because it is the song of the same name, so those who have listened to "The Thief of Time" will naturally know the movie "The Thief of Time".

Time is in the midst of turmoil, and it is August.

The Venice Film Festival is just around the corner.

"The Thief of Time" will have its premiere during the Venice Film Festival, while in China it will be released later in the evening, and there is a high probability that it will not be officially released until after the Venice Film Festival is over.

Li Yi is no stranger to Italy's water city. "The Thief of Time" was no surprise to be shortlisted for the main competition unit. However, Li Yi knew that this time was completely different from the previous "Paradise Cinema".

Although the two films are both "Once Upon a Time" series, "The Thief of Time" is only about Hong Kong Island's past events.

This movie comes here more for gold plating. If you want to win an award, maybe with the quality of the movie and Li Yi's reputation, there is still hope, but it is almost impossible to win an award.

The main battlefield of "The Thief of Time" has always been domestic, and it has always been the Hong Kong Island Film Awards.

However, it still attracts many domestic tourists and movie fans from afar.

At the same time, because Li Yi is the grand slam of the three major European film festivals, and he is also the grand slam of the gold award, so his film is also one of the main films promoted by the organizing committee of this year's Venice Film Festival.

In contrast, "Sister Tao" directed by Mu Qing did not have such a good treatment. Although it was also shortlisted for the main competition unit, the probability of winning the prize was even lower than "The Thief of Time".

"The Thief of Time" premiered at the Palace of Festivals, relying on Li Yi, the director of the grand slam, and one of the film festival's main promotional films.

Therefore, the premiere is full of seats. Of course, more of them are film critics, media people, and some supporting filmmakers from China.

The result is very interesting. After the screening of the film, many Chinese viewers had red eyes, but the reaction of the foreign audience was more general. This is also a defect of regional films.

Domestic movie fans have been waiting for "The Thief of Time" for a long time.

Film critics and media people, as well as self-media film critics and movie fans from China, returned to their residences and started writing film reviews immediately after watching the movie.

In fact, they were not the first audience to watch the film. Many film critics also attended the special screening on Hong Kong Island.

However, because "The Thief of Time" hadn't officially started to be screened earlier, even if they wrote a film review, it was difficult to send it out.

But now that "The Thief of Time" has been screened at the Venice Film Festival, they also immediately released the film reviews they had written long ago.

Zhou Bin, a veteran film critic on Hong Kong Island, immediately posted a film review he had written earlier on his personal column.

There are two of his film reviews, one of which can be said to be popular science.

""The Thief of Time", I think some people will comment that it is the best Hong Kong film in the past 20 years after watching it, but there will also be people who think they can't understand this film.

Because this is a movie about life on Hong Kong Island in the 60s, if you don't understand the background of some of the times in it, it will indeed be hard for people to understand.

First, there are two historical backgrounds.The background of the two most important events on Hong Kong Island in the 60s.At that time, there was no ICAC. Anyone who had watched Hong Kong Island gangster films of that era knew the situation at that time, but it was like being in a hospital. In the film, when you enter the hospital, you have to pay for boiling water, and you need to have an needle to draw blood. The strength of the nurse's injection is inversely proportional to the amount of money.

People who don't understand the background of this era may find it abrupt and strange, but as long as they understand it, they will understand that it was the society at that time.

Another big event at that time was the occurrence of a series of violent incidents with great influence, which affected many upper-class people on Hong Kong Island, so many upper-class people on Hong Kong Island began to emigrate overseas at that time.

Secondly, the Diocesan Boys' School.The film shows more about the "male excellence" attended by the eldest son of the Luo family (Luo Jinyi). This English church school was established in 1869 in Kowloon and has trained many political and business celebrities.The male diva excels academically, athletically and musically.Knowing this, it will be easier to experience the nostalgic feeling of the movie when you watch it.

Because for a low-class family like the Luo family in that era, having a child admitted to the Diocesan Boys' School was tantamount to reaching the sky in one step.

The irony is that today's Diocesan Boys' School on Hong Kong Island hardly sees such "poor students"!

Again, I have to mention the moon cake fair. At that time, offering moon cakes was like offering a house, except that the deadline was one year.It is a big deal to send moon cakes every Mid-Autumn Festival, but the poor can't afford them, so they can only supply them.I like to eat double yellow lotus seed paste mooncakes very much, so I secretly offered them for two months. Later, when I had no money, people went to my house to ask, and they gave up.At that time, we were very poor and had no money to buy food. After eating sesame buns, we patted the table and patted the sesame seeds from the cracks in the table to eat.The details in these films are real.

In the end, what my father said, "You must keep this top, and you are not afraid of the rest", and what your mother said, "As a human being, you must believe it", these are an expression of the positive spirit of Hong Kong people.Hong Kong people pay attention to self-help and have the courage to overcome everything in adversity.In the face of disaster and misfortune, waiting for help from others is the worst policy.When Luo's father faced the hurricane attacking his home, he desperately tried to hold on to that roof, because in the eyes of Hong Kong people, the roof is the sky, and if the roof is kept, the sky will not collapse.If you keep hope, you will have the courage to stand up and start over.

The self-confidence of Hong Kong people is often expressed more thoroughly in these low-level people.And life has never lost hope, the Luo family has always believed in hope. "
