    第六集「嘉禾的出現及自由競爭下1970年代影業的興旺」


    討論大網:

    1970年開始時,擁有影城和院線,製作量龐大的邵氏兄弟公司好像一個絕不可能被打倒的影壇巨人,結果它卻製造出自己的強大敵人,那就是從邵氏公司的管理人員鄒文懷。鄒在邵氏因方逸華主政而離開組織嘉禾公司,它發掘了李小龍,承接了國泰公司的片廠,組織了院線,再由許冠文喜劇屢破票房紀錄。嘉禾由一家資金短絀的公司發展成足以與邵氏分庭抗禮的國際有名的大公司,並成為1980至1990香港電影的中流砥柱,可說是一個傳奇。除了嘉禾,1970年代在不同時期都有一些獨立電影公司在票房上創出佳績,為影業帶來新風,包括思遠、繽繽,這都與香港影業自由競爭脫不了干系。

    在這第六集的podcast, 我們一共分開三節,在第三節,我們討論了以下內容:

    七十年代香港電影與台灣電影的關係如何?為何可以說是歷史上最緊密的時期?隨著粵語片停產,台灣電影進入香港市場,哪些作品受到了歡迎?許多台灣電影人來到香港註冊開公司,並在香港進行電影後期製作,原因是什麼?為什麼香港在這個年代的後期製作會受益於台灣電影的湧入?台灣電影在香港是如何沒落的?這與香港在自由氣氛下爆發的創作力有何關係?香港在自由的環境下,如何超越台灣影人的作品? 「南下影人」在七十年代還有發展嗎?香港電影業界與外國(主要是美國)電影業界有哪些聯繫?雙方自六十年代開始交流後對香港電影製作有什麼影響?七十年代,不少片場倒閉,取而代之的是租借器材公司,例如沙龍,為什麼會出現這種現象?對電影業有什麼貢獻?

    Episode 6: “The Emergence of Golden Harvest and the Flourishing of the Film Industry in the 1970s Under Free Competition"

    At the start of the 1970s, the Shaw Brothers Company, with its studios and cinema chains and a massive production volume, seemed like an invincible giant in the film industry. However, it created its formidable competitor: Raymond Chow, a former Shaw Brothers executive. Chow left the company due to disagreements with Mona Fong's management and founded Golden Harvest. Golden Harvest discovered Bruce Lee, took over Cathay Organization's studios, and established its cinema chain. The success of Michael Hui's comedies repeatedly broke box office records. Golden Harvest evolved from a financially struggling company into an internationally renowned giant capable of rivaling Shaw Brothers. It became a pillar of Hong Kong cinema from the 1980s to the 1990s, embodying a legendary success story.

    In addition to Golden Harvest, several independent film companies achieved significant box office success during the 1970s, bringing fresh ideas to the industry. These included companies like Seasonal Film Corporation and Bo Ho Film Company, which thrived due to the free competition in Hong Kong's film industry.

    In this sixth episode of the podcast, we divided our discussion into three segments. In the third segment, we covered the following topics:

    How were Hong Kong and Taiwanese films related in the 1970s, and why can this period be considered the closest in history?With the cessation of Cantonese films, Taiwanese films entered the Hong Kong market. Which works were well-received?Why did many Taiwanese filmmakers come to Hong Kong to register companies and conduct post-production work there? Why did Hong Kong's post-production industry benefit from the influx of Taiwanese films during this period?How did Taiwanese films decline in Hong Kong, and how is this related to the creative explosion in Hong Kong's free atmosphere? How did Hong Kong surpass Taiwanese filmmakers' works in a free environment?Did "Filmmakers from Mainland China" continue to develop in the 1970s?What connections existed between Hong Kong's film and foreign (mainly American) film industries? What impact did their interactions since the 1960s have on Hong Kong film production?In the 1970s, many film studios closed down and were replaced by equipment rental companies, such as Salon. Why did this phenomenon occur, and what contributions did it make to the film industry?

    第五集「香港電影在1960年代的變遷」


    討論大網:

    1960年代的香港影業基本上延續1950年代,主要的導演和編劇都是1950年代初已入行的一批,創作觀念上改變不大。但1960年代香港的經濟已擺脫1950年代的貧困局面而進入小康。粵語片方面,類型也就由淒慘的文藝片逐漸轉向「小康之家式」中產小夫妻喜劇以至歌頌自食其力的「工廠妹萬歲」電影,也有關心下一代會否學壞的青春片,並由此出現陳寶珠、蕭芳芳的影迷熱潮。國語片方面,經濟成長也造就一種追求個性解放的心態,造就了張徹以陽剛為號召的武俠片,從而把香港電影以至中國電影的女明星主導的傳統徹底改變。


    在這第五集的podcast, 我們一共分開三節,每節的主題如下:

    5.1  60年代香港電影產業的總體特色、以及重點討論了三種粵語流行電影類型, 包括武俠片、小夫妻喜劇、青春歌舞電影。

    5.2 60年代流行的張徹的國語武俠電影如何範式轉移影響日後的香港電影,另外我們也重點討論了楚原和龍剛的電影

    5.3 60年代電影產業的一些特有現象,以及六七暴動和無線電視廣播對香港電影的影響,及至最後香港粵語片停產的原因。


    Outline of Introduction to Hong Kong Film Industry Podcast Part 5

    About this series of podcasts, please check here.

    Episode 5: “Changes in Hong Kong Cinema in the 1960s”

    The 1960s for the Hong Kong film industry was, for the most part, a continuation of the 1950s. Many key directors and screenwriters of the era had their origins rooted in the group that emerged in the 1950s; as such, creative theories in regard to filmmaking changed little during this time. 

    However, during the 1960s, Hong Kong’s economy had begun to break off from the economically impoverished state of the 1950s, entering instead into a relative period of prosperity. 

    For Cantonese cinema, tragic art films were gradually replaced by “Family Style” middle-class and young family comedies. These films celebrated the self-supported “Factory Girl” and youth films that focused on the worry of a new generation that might be led astray. These gave rise to then-upcoming stars like Connie Chan Po-chu and Josephine Siao Fong-Fong, who had fervent film fanbases. 

    As for Mandarin Films, their economic growth created an attitude of pursuing individual freedom, leading to Chang Cheh's use of Wuxia films to appeal to masculine audiences—completely changing the tradition of female movie stars dominating Hong Kong and even Chinese Cinema. 

    In this fifth episode of the podcast, we have three segments, each focusing on the following topics;

    5.1 The overall characteristics of the Hong Kong film industry in the 1960s, with a specific focus on discussing three popular Cantonese film genres, including martial arts films, romantic comedies featuring married couples, and youth musical films.

    5.2 How the paradigm shift in popular Chang Cheh's Mandarin martial arts films of the 1960s influenced subsequent Hong Kong films. Additionally, there is a specific emphasis on discussing the films of directors Cheung Po Kin (Chu Yuan) and Lung Kong.

    5.3 Some unique phenomena in the 1960s film industry, the impact of the six-seven riots and wireless TV broadcasting on Hong Kong cinema, and finally, the reasons for the cessation of Hong Kong Cantonese films.

    5.3 Some unique phenomena in the 1960s film industry, the impact of the six-seven riots and wireless TV broadcasting on Hong Kong cinema, and finally, the reasons for the cessation of Hong Kong Cantonese films.

  • 🎞️🎞️🎞️ 早前在「銀幕香港Indie電影網上展」,一連展出了三部崔允信的作品,分別是《無花果》(2013)、《憂憂愁愁的走了》(2002)以及《三條窄路》(2009),在這一集,我們跟導演詳談了三部電影的創作過程,以及今天當下觀賞這三部舊作的意義。討論的問題眾多,例如:

    👉電影裡面的宗教意識相當明顯,導演自已是有宗教信仰呢?
    👉三部電影均有外地取景,當年拍攝時有遇到困難嗎?
    👉是不是一直只會拍獨立製作?
    👉《憂憂愁愁的走了》還有另一個結局?
    👉為什麼拍電影要趁年輕盡快拍?
    👉這三部獨立電影有在香港或其他地方公開放映過嗎?
    👉導演是如何根據劇本去拍攝電影呢?
    👉三部電影的文本可以互讀嗎?
    👉往後還有拍攝計劃嗎?
    👉海外華人可以如何支持香港的獨立製作呢?

    🎞️🎞️🎞️ Earlier, in the 'HKOS Indie Film Online Showcase,' we showed three films from director Vincent Cui: 'Fig' (2013), 'Leaving in Sorrow' (2002), and 'Three Narrow Gatess' (2009).  

    In this episode, we discussed the creative process of these three films and the significance of watching these works today with the director. Many questions were discussed, such as:

    👉 The religious consciousness inside the films is quite prominent. Does the director himself have a religious belief?
    👉 All three films were shot in locations outside Hong Kong. Did the director encounter any difficulties during the filming?
    👉 Does the director only focus on independent productions?
    👉 Does 'Leaving in Sorrow' have an alternate ending?
    👉 Why should one make movies when young and as soon as possible?  
    👉 Have these three independent films been publicly screened in Hong Kong or elsewhere?
    👉 How does the director shoot films based on the script?
    👉 Can the texts of these three films be read about each other?
    👉 Are there any future film projects?
    👉 How can overseas Chinese support independent productions in Hong Kong?

  • 「香港電影史導論 Podcast第五集」討論大網

    有關這系列的Podcast, 詳情請看這裡。


    第五集「香港電影在1960年代的變遷」


    討論大網:

    1960年代的香港影業基本上延續1950年代,主要的導演和編劇都是1950年代初已入行的一批,創作觀念上改變不大。但1960年代香港的經濟已擺脫1950年代的貧困局面而進入小康。粵語片方面,類型也就由淒慘的文藝片逐漸轉向「小康之家式」中產小夫妻喜劇以至歌頌自食其力的「工廠妹萬歲」電影,也有關心下一代會否學壞的青春片,並由此出現陳寶珠、蕭芳芳的影迷熱潮。國語片方面,經濟成長也造就一種追求個性解放的心態,造就了張徹以陽剛為號召的武俠片,從而把香港電影以至中國電影的女明星主導的傳統徹底改變。


    在這第五集的podcast, 我們一共分開三節,每節的主題如下:

    5.1  60年代香港電影產業的總體特色、以及重點討論了三種粵語流行電影類型, 包括武俠片、小夫妻喜劇、青春歌舞電影。

    5.2 60年代流行的張徹的國語武俠電影如何範式轉移影響日後的香港電影,另外我們也重點討論了楚原和龍剛的電影

    5.3 60年代電影產業的一些特有現象,以及六七暴動和無線電視廣播對香港電影的影響,及至最後香港粵語片停產的原因。


    Outline of Introduction to Hong Kong Film Industry Podcast Part 5

    About this series of podcasts, please check here.

    Episode 5: “Changes in Hong Kong Cinema in the 1960s”

    The 1960s for the Hong Kong film industry was, for the most part, a continuation of the 1950s. Many key directors and screenwriters of the era had their origins rooted in the group that emerged in the 1950s; as such, creative theories in regard to filmmaking changed little during this time. 

    However, during the 1960s, Hong Kong’s economy had begun to break off from the economically impoverished state of the 1950s, entering instead into a relative period of prosperity. 

    For Cantonese cinema, tragic art films were gradually replaced by “Family Style” middle-class and young family comedies. These films celebrated the self-supported “Factory Girl” and youth films that focused on the worry of a new generation that might be led astray. These gave rise to then-upcoming stars like Connie Chan Po-chu and Josephine Siao Fong-Fong, who had fervent film fanbases. 

    As for Mandarin Films, their economic growth created an attitude of pursuing individual freedom, leading to Chang Cheh's use of Wuxia films to appeal to masculine audiences—completely changing the tradition of female movie stars dominating Hong Kong and even Chinese Cinema. 

    In this fifth episode of the podcast, we have three segments, each focusing on the following topics;

    5.1 The overall characteristics of the Hong Kong film industry in the 1960s, with a specific focus on discussing three popular Cantonese film genres, including martial arts films, romantic comedies featuring married couples, and youth musical films.

    5.2 How the paradigm shift in popular Chang Cheh's Mandarin martial arts films of the 1960s influenced subsequent Hong Kong films. Additionally, there is a specific emphasis on discussing the films of directors Cheung Po Kin (Chu Yuan) and Lung Kong.

    5.3 Some unique phenomena in the 1960s film industry, the impact of the six-seven riots and wireless TV broadcasting on Hong Kong cinema, and finally, the reasons for the cessation of Hong Kong Cantonese films.

  • 《3CM》(2019) 是其中一部在「銀幕·香港」香港Indie電影網上展放映的電影 (詳情:https://www.hkonscreen.org/indie-home)。《3CM》(2019)看似一個微不足道的距離,卻是結節性硬化症病人生死存亡的指標,影響他們能否得到合適的藥物。電影由兩位背景各異的病友媽媽的角度出發,走訪他們爭取生存權利和尊嚴的歷程,從而探討公共政策及社會公義等課題。《3CM》(2019)不只是罕見病病友的故事,也是香港人的故事。

    「銀幕·香港 Podcast」在這一集邀請了《3CM》(2019)的導演黃肇邦一起討論了:

    1. 為何導演揀選罕見病這個比較特別的題材?拍攝紀錄片的緣起是?
    2. 藥物政策、醫療倫理、公共衛生等議題都相對沉重而複雜,亦需要很多資訊才能令到一般觀眾理解,導演又如何平衡不同素材,同時可以牽動觀眾,令人想繼續觀看呢?
    3. 拍攝紀錄片就跟人生一樣無法預計,在剪輯過程中,遇到甚麼困難?如何選取、編排素材?
    4. 電影把焦點放在照顧者社群和他們爭取權益的歷程上,而不是集中描繪罕見病病友的嚴峻病況,為何會有這樣的安排?
    5. 紀錄片中被訪者都十分真誠和信任地講出心聲,導演是如何建立這份關係?
    6. 電影其中一個核心訊息是為自己發聲、嘗試帶出改變。我們看到片中被訪者如何發聲,那麼對導演來說,何謂發聲?
    7. 電影最後以一個對比鮮明的畫面作結,期望帶出甚麼訊息?
    8. 之前在香港本地放映,受疫情所限未必能接觸到很多觀眾,是次網上放映則可以接觸到海外觀眾,導演有甚麼看法?
    9. 可以透露一下接下來的電影項目嗎?

    3CM (2019) is one of the films featured in the HKOS Indie Film Online Showcase (for more info: https://www.hkonscreen.org/indie-home). Despite its seemingly insignificant distance, 3CM (2019) serves as a crucial marker of life and death for patients with tuberous sclerosis, impacting their ability to access the proper medication. The film takes the perspective of two mothers from diverse backgrounds who embark on a journey to fight for their right to survival and dignity, thereby exploring issues related to public policy and social justice. 3CM (2019) is not only a story of rare disease patients but also a story of the people of Hong Kong.

    In this episode, director Wong Siu-pong of 3CM (2019) joins the discussion to explore:

    Why did the director choose the relatively unique topic of rare diseases? What was the inspiration behind making this documentary?Issues like drug policies, medical ethics, and public health can be pretty heavy and complex, often requiring much information for the general audience to understand. How did the director balance the different materials to engage the audience and keep them interested?Filmmaking, like life, is unpredictable. During the editing process, what challenges did the director face, and how did they select and arrange the materials?The film focuses on the caregiver community and their journey to advocate for their rights rather than solely depicting the severe conditions of rare disease patients. What was the reasoning behind this approach?The interviewees in the documentary are very candid and trusting in sharing their thoughts. How did the director establish this rapport?One of the core messages of the film is about speaking up for oneself and trying to bring about change. We see how the interviewees in the movie do this, but for the director, what does "speaking up" mean?The film ends with a stark visual contrast. What message does the director hope to convey with this ending?Previously, the film was screened locally in Hong Kong, and due to the pandemic, it may not have reached many viewers. With online screening, it can reach an international audience. What are the director's thoughts on this?Could you give us a glimpse of the director's upcoming film projects?

  • 💙💙💙 影片《霸王別姬》改編自🇭🇰香港女作家李碧華的同名小說。這部由陳凱歌導演,蘆葦編劇,張國榮🇭🇰、鞏俐、張豐毅、葛優等人領銜主演的電影,堪稱集齊大陸、香港、臺灣兩岸三地之財力、物力及人力合作創制而成的經典之作。作爲華語影壇藝術成就最高且享有世界盛譽的旗幟級影片,《霸王別姬》自1993年問世以來,贏得了億萬影迷青睞,打破了中國內地文藝片在美國的票房紀錄,並爲陳凱歌一舉拿下1993年度法國康城影展的最高榮譽金棕櫚大獎、美國金球獎最佳外語片、國際影評人聯盟大獎等多項國際榮譽,2005年《霸王別姬》入選美國《時代週刊》評選的「全球史上百部最佳電影」,畫下了陳凱歌導演藝術生涯最爲濃墨重彩的一筆。

    🌟🌟🌟 當這部電影於1993年進入美國影院時,Miramax 的哈維·韋恩斯坦 (Harvey Weinstein) 從電影中删了14分鐘。現在,Film Movement Classics將以全長171分鐘的完整版重新回到影院。該發行商將於9月22日在紐約市的Film Forum推出北美影院的最新修復4K版本。洛杉磯的觀衆可以在9月29日在Nuart觀看這個版本。

    為了隆重其事,我們製作了四集podcast, 邀請了四名學者,從各自的領域探討《霸王別姬》這部華語電影的重要性。四集節目中,兩集以英語進行,另兩集會以廣東話錄音。

    在最後一集,請來了約翰霍普金斯大學的孔誥烽教授來跟我們討論了《霸王別姬》裡面的中國歷史觀如何不合當今的官方論述;另外,電影中的對文革的描述跟今天官方的主導思想有何異同呢?

    💙💙💙 The film "Farewell My Concubine" is adapted from the novel of the same name by 🇭🇰Hong Kong writer Lilian Lee. Directed by Chen Kaige, written by Lu Wei, and starring Leslie Cheung🇭🇰, Gong Li, Zhang Fengyi, Ge You, and others, this movie can be considered a classic collaboration that brought together financial, material, and human resources from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. As a flagship film with the highest artistic achievements in the Chinese-language film industry and enjoying worldwide acclaim, "Farewell My Concubine" has been beloved by millions of fans since its release in 1993. It broke the box office records for mainland Chinese art films in the United States. It won numerous international honors for Chen Kaige, including the Palme d'Or at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival, the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and awards from the International Federation of Film Critics. In 2005, "Farewell My Concubine" was selected as one of the "100 All-Time Best Films" by Time magazine, marking a brilliant chapter in Chen Kaige's directorial career.

    🌟🌟🌟 When the film reached US theaters in 1993, Miramax's Harvey Weinstein cut 14 minutes from the movie. Film Movement is now being returned to theaters in its full 171-minute glory, courtesy of Film Movement Classics. The distributor will release a newly restored 4K version in North American theaters beginning September 22 at the Film Forum in New York City.  

    Audiences in Los Angeles can see this version on the big screen on September 29 at the Nuart Theatre.  

    To make it grand, we produced a four-episode podcast, inviting four scholars to discuss the significance of this Chinese-language film, "Farewell My Concubine," from their respective fields. Two of the four episodes will be conducted in English, and the other two will be recorded in Cantonese.

    In the final episode, Professor Ho-fung Hung from Johns Hopkins University joined us to discuss how the Chinese historical perspectives presented in "Farewell My Concubine" differ from contemporary official narratives. Furthermore, what are the similarities and differences between the movie's portrayal of the Cultural Revolution and today's prevailing official ideology?
