Chapter 328 Undercurrent
Li Xuan's company won the Best Photography only because of Wu Yusen's "Bloody Two Heroes". This is just like Shaw's "Seven Days of Mistakes" won the Best Actress, Jiahe's "Police Story 2" won the Best Action Design, and New Art City's "Hitting the Wrong Car" won the Best Movie Song. The awards of the four major film companies are all the only ones, which looks particularly funny.
As March gradually passed, the negotiation situation between China and the UK became clearer and clearer.
In April 1984, British Foreign Minister Cong Wei arrived in Hong Kong after visiting Yanjing. He issued a statement in Hong Kong, announcing that Britain gave up its sovereignty over Hong Kong after 97 years. The statement stated: "It is an unrealistic idea to reach an agreement that will allow Hong Kong to continue to be governed by the United Kingdom after 1997."
As soon as the statement was released, Hong Kong was in an uproar, and many right-wing industrialists changed their positions or immigrated overseas. However, although a small wave of immigration has emerged in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong stock market has rarely begun to rise slowly, which has secretly relieved the bigwigs of the company who survived this stock market crash.
The happiest thing among them is Princess Jin's boss Lei Juekun. He breathed a sigh of relief and did not carry out drastic reforms in Hong Kong, but instead invested a lot of funds to start building his own theater chain in Taiwan.
But he didn't know that an inexplicable hidden danger began to brew in Princess Jin's lifeline New Art City.
In April, Li Xuan's "The Saint of Gambling" was also launched...
Li Xuan chose to star in "The Gambling Saint" for Zhou Xingchi first, and was more anxious to launch the project so quickly. There is a reason why Zhou Xingchi's comedy movies are said to be the one with the least nonsensical laughter, and even "The Gambling Saint" is much more nonsensical than "The Gambling Saint".
It can be said that "The Gambling Saint" is the beginning of Stephen Chow's real exploration of nonsensical laughter, and later it deepens this nonsensical laughter step by step. In "The Gambling Saint", Zhou Xingchi's performance also becomes serious. The whole movie does not have that extremely exaggerated performance style, nor does it have that extremely dramatic dialogue, and it looks closer to the cold humorous effect of the Xu brothers.
So in this era where there is no nonsensical existence, it is particularly important to find a movie that transitions between the two comedy types.
