Li Changsheng participated in and invested in a similar film that eliminated the misunderstanding between the Mainland and Xiangjiang.
He will allow mainlanders to understand Xiangjiang people, let Xiangjiang people understand mainlanders, deepen mutual understanding, and reduce misunderstandings and prejudices.
Let us always remember that we are fellow citizens.
Let the natives of Xiangjiang know more clearly that Xiangjiang was ruled by the English colonists in the past, never sing praises for the colonists, and reflect their crimes more
To emphasize even more that we are all fellow citizens.
Although movies have always been a commercial product, but at a certain time, they still have to play a positive social role.
Li Changsheng has obviously passed the level of making crazy money now, and he is now going to do something meaningful.
He will subtly express some of his views and attitudes in film and television dramas, affecting the people in Xiangjiang.
The first film, "The Year Like Water" tells the story of a Hong Kong person returning to his hometown. There is no intense dramatic conflict, and a touch of nostalgia flows in it.
The real Chaoshan rural life scenes in the film are full of strong local flavor, showing the simple human feelings of the agricultural society like prose poetry, in stark contrast to the tight pressure in the city.
The old friends of childhood sweethearts, the elders who turned into loess, and the relatives who turned their faces into enemies, exaggerate the sense of right and wrong. This ray of nostalgia will continue for decades in the next tide of urbanization in China.
Director Yan Hao's father is a leftist literati. Yan Hao wrote subtitles to commemorate his father at the end of the film. The whole film has personal emotional nostalgia, and there are also metaphors for current events hidden under the nostalgic imagery
Returning to the hometown to worship ancestors is to trace the origin of self-identity. The male protagonist's words "You are welcome to come back anytime, our home is your.||home" has a straightforward meaning, but the long-standing strangeness and hesitation cannot be resolved overnight.
The film does not presuppose a position, but carefully prepares many ambiguous details, using implicit language and blank shots to express women's subtle psychology, so as to allude to the relationship between land and port.
The two heroines are deeply affectionate but full of jealousy. The joy of reunion after a long absence is mixed with the confrontation hidden in the needle, which just symbolizes the complex emotions of the people of Xiangjiang. The roughness in their hearts reflects the scars brought by history in the final analysis.
The two leading actors were both shortlisted for Best Actress in the Academy Awards. In the end, Siqin Gaowa became the first mainland actor to win the Best Actress Award, and Gu Yehua also won the Best Newcomer Award.
The 32-year-old newcomer entered the film industry after her divorce because she was forced to earn a living. In the film, she integrated her personal life experience into the performance, showing the complex state of mind of returning to her hometown in detail.
Kitaro's tunes were not specially created for this film, Yan Hao chose them precisely, and the misty electronic sounds are even more sad and joyful under the arrangement of Oda. Coupled with the lyrics written by Zheng Guojiang, they fit the plot quite well.
Anita Mui's voice is deep and vicissitudes, and she never tires of listening to it. Later, many male singers have performed this song. Tan Yonglin has a long heart, Zhang Guorong is deep and distant, and Chen Baiqiang is soft and graceful, each with its own flavor.
"The Years Like Water" was produced by Jade Bird Films. It was disqualified from being selected for the Golden Horse Awards because it was filmed in a woman's house. However, it won six awards in a row at the Golden Image Awards, including Best Film and (won) Best Director. Zhang Shuping Also because this film won the Best Art Director Award at the Academy Awards for the first time, Xiamen Meng's vision can be seen.
She also produced "Since Ancient Heroes Adolescents", which is also very popular in China. No wonder Xu Anhua said: "Zhi Meng's wisdom is more outstanding than her beauty."
It's a pity that because of Xiamen Dream's strict standards for script selection, Jade Bird Films closed after only three films were made. After she sold the company to Jiang Zuyi, she repaid the 10 million loan and quit the front line of the film industry . .
