Dreams of the Fragrant River

"Tomb Raiders" still failed to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. On the one hand, Chinese-language films were not favored by the judges, and on the other hand, it was because the competition was too strong.

This year's Oscar-winning film for best foreign language film is called "Journey of Hope". Perhaps most ordinary people have never heard of it, but it is indeed a very meaningful film.

Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Turkey and Italy cooperated to film, "Journey of Hope" is about the bitter blood and tears of smuggling migrants. The filming method is simple and not sensational, but the story itself and the realistic performance of non-professional actors are enough to make the audience cry, and the problems behind the film are even more thought-provoking.

Although "Notes from the Tomb" failed to win the award, it has achieved the expected goal of being nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, which is conducive to the promotion and distribution of the film in Europe and the North and South.

On the Hong Kong side, the Spring Festival film scheduled to be released by the Oriental Cinema is "Swordsman". Produced by Xu Ke and directed by Hu Jinquan, the film stars Li Lianjie as Ling Huchong, Zhang Dan as Ren Yingying, Qiu Shuzhen as Yue Lingshan, and Li Lizhen as Lan Fenghuang.

From the planning to the later stage of the whole play, except for arranging individual actors and participating in the revision of the script, Kang Jianfei did not intervene in other places. The film was finally shot. Xu Ke personally invited Huang Zhan to write "A Laugh in the Sea", and he also brought in his friend Cheng Xiaodong as a martial artist.

"Swordsman" took a year of dawdling. During this period, Hu Jinquan and Xu Ke had several conflicts. Both of them were crew members, one was the director and the other was the producer. No one would give in when they disagreed. .

"The Swordsman" and Cheng Long's "Flying Eagle Project" collided, and the two films won each, but Cheng Long was more powerful in terms of box office.

The Hong Kong box office of "Flying Eagle Project" was 39.04 million, while "Swordsman" was well received, but the box office was only 16.88 million. This time, Jiahe and Cheng Long won a beautiful win. Although they failed to break the 40 million box office mark, they completely dominated the entire film festival during the Spring Festival.

At the time of the "Flying Eagle Project", Kang Jianfei's record finally came out.

The entire album has only 4 songs, namely Cantonese songs "Queen's Road East" and "Capital", and Mandarin songs "Oriental Pearl" and "One Night in Beijing." Among them, "Queen's Road East" was sung by Kang Jianfei and Luo Dayou, and "One Night in Beijing" was sung by Ye Qianwen.

The front and north sides of the record have prefaces, one for Hong Kong and the other for Beijing.

The Hong Kong side reads:

If you didn't already know, Hong Kong is the only metropolis in the world with an eagle hovering in the sky.

If you don't know yet...

For more than 150 years, Hong Kong has grown up abandoned, compromising to survive in the gap between the East and the West. Her history is the trail of a dream.

The strange thing is that anyone who comes here also grows up with her as if they gradually walked into her dream; and miraculously finds their dream and doesn't want to leave.

Because they know that all the impossible difficulties have finally been resolved, and they continue to move forward like a dream.

So this era finally came: the era of the 1990s.

Living here, I feel like a broker, doing one of the biggest deals between history and the future.

Wang Fei got a tape from the teacher for the first time. After listening to it, he didn't know how to evaluate it. He could only say: "What a strange record."

Dai Sicong said: "It's not strange, it's special. "Queen's Road East" and "Capital" have a unified style, and it is Kang Jianfei who expresses his position. He supports the return of Hong Kong and is optimistic about the reform and opening up of the mainland. As for "Pearl of the Orient" and "The Capital" "One Night in Beijing" is completely lyrical. The best part is that he uses pop music to sing the great love of the vicissitudes of history, but also adds elements of Peking Opera to express the love between men and women. The music style is changing, and he can be called a genius. ."

Wang Fei pondered the teacher's comments and said, "I still like this "Pearl of the Orient" the most. "Queen's Road East" and "Capital" are too noisy, and "One Night in Beijing" is too frivolous."

Dai Sicong said with a smile: "This song "One Night in Beijing" has many interpretations. At first glance, it seems to be a one-night love. But if you look at the lyrics carefully, it seems to be the feeling of tourists on the streets of Beijing. It uses Peking Opera to express the eternal romance of the ancient capital. Or to be more complicated, it sings the feeling of an overseas traveller returning to Beijing. It is a sad memory of things right and wrong."

"Teacher, you think too much, it's just a song." Wang Fei couldn't help but complain.

Not only Dai Sicong thinks too much, at this moment, Hong Kong does not know how many people are pondering Kang Jianfei's lyrics.

To be honest, Fengxing Records did not overly promote "Queen's Road East", but as Kang Jianfei's first album in his life, as long as he revealed a little bit of information, countless media helped to promote it for free.

In Hong Kong, there are many people who hate Kang Jianfei and are jealous of Kang Jianfei, but more people like to watch his movies, novels, and comics, and the number of **** fans is no less than that of first-line stars.

"Queen's Road East" sold more than 10,000 records on the first day of its release, and it continued to be a hit for more than half a month.

In another time and space, how popular is the song "Queen's Road East"? Not only was it played everywhere in the streets, but there were several movies that used this song as the theme song or interlude.

It's better to fit the theme. You said that funny movies and gangster movies with a completely wrong style of painting, using a connotative song like "Queen's Road East" as the theme song, what is the reason for the strange idea?

Very simple, the lyrics of "Queen's Road East" touched the **** of Hong Kong citizens.

During the Spring Festival, people flocked to the cinema to watch Cheng Long's "Flying Eagle Project", and walked out of the cinema to listen to "Queen's Road East".

Video stores, department stores, taxis, streets and alleys... No matter where you go, as long as there is a place to play songs, "Queen's Road East" will enter your ears like a ghost.

"Queen's Road West and Queen's Road East

Queen's Road East to Queen's Road Central

Why is there no palace on Queen's Road East?

People rush on Queen's Road

 …”

The catchy lyrics, like nonsense, have been sung into the hearts of Hong Kong citizens after being interpreted by the "Daily Daily" authoritatively.

As for the song "Capital", it is far less popular than "Queen's Road East", and some of the lyrics in it are even criticized and flattered by some people.

Kang Jianfei was speechless. In another time and space, Luo Dayou sang "The Capital", and there were not so many people scolding him. Moreover, the lyrics are flattering. It is obviously an objective evaluation of whether they are good or not. Some of the lyrics are even very sensitive. If they are taken to the mainland, they may be banned.

Also controversial is "One Night in Beijing". This song is taken for granted as one night love, and it is considered to be the product of Kang Jianfei's romance in Beijing. There are even gossip tabloids making up stories, saying that Kang Jianfei had been with a mainland actress while he went north to watch the Asian Games some time ago.

As for the song "Pearl of the Orient", if it were not sung in Mandarin, its popularity would certainly be no less than that of "Queen's Road East". No matter people who hate Kang Jianfei or are jealous of him, they have to admit that this song is excellent from lyrics to tune~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In less than a week, "Queen's Road East" sold platinum sales , When the Lantern Festival comes on the 15th day of the first lunar month, Kang Jianfei's first album is already four platinum.

Those who said that Kang Jianfei used "The World of Trumen" to express their dissatisfaction with the mainland, after "Queen's Road East" came out, they finally stopped messing around, and then expressed strong contempt for Kang Jianfei.

Professional music critics gave this album a very positive evaluation, which can be summed up in two words: amazing.

After the Spring Festival, although the growth of record sales has slowed down, it is still increasing. Later statistics showed that "Queen's Road East" sold a total of 320,000 copies in Hong Kong, which is the record sales of top singers.

Years later, "Queen's Road East" ranked third in the Hong Kong pop albums of the 1990s selected by Ming Pao Weekly. The album only has 4 songs, but it records the restlessness of Hong Kong at that time..." r1152
