My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 1380 The final chapter of the sad song blooms with a gorgeous and dazzling romance

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
In Kwun Tong, the whistle kept ringing.

Countless families ran out with pots and cans, and people waiting to receive water formed a long queue at the corner of the public water supply.

Many carried large, large tin water storage tanks.

The plane flew overhead, casting shadows over everyone's heads.

Noise muffles vocals in movies.

There was a piercing sound.

"He's a fairy, there's a time limit for receiving water!"

"Allah is content. I heard that the factory owners are urging the British Hong Kong government to discuss the water diversion issue with the mainland. It's OK to make it through."

"I'm afraid that the government's water price will increase again, and the water will be unaffordable."

At this time, a few young and Dangerous boys pushed and yelled at the residents who received the water, and forced them to charge.

The uniformed policemen passing by not far away pretended not to see them, and gnawed at the fruit stand with sugarcane at will.

There is a big one, I don’t give money to eat watermelon in Kowloon, let alone eat your broken sugar cane.

After World War II, a large number of foreign populations poured into Hong Kong Island, and the processing and export trade of Hong Kong Island flourished.

The Hong Kong government has always been particularly wary of diverting water from the mainland for no other reason than it fears that the mainland will use water resources to block the neck of Hong Kong Island.

After various communication, the water supply of Pengcheng Reservoir was determined.

Moreover, for the sake of colonial rule, the Hong Kong government does not want to rely too much on the mainland, insists on spending money to "buy" water, and is unwilling to let the mainland take the advantage of free support.

It's a pity that the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes...

Since the end of 1962, Hong Kong Island has experienced the worst drought since meteorological records began in 1884. There has been no drop of rain for nine consecutive months.

In desperation, the Hong Kong British government adopted water control measures, from the initial water supply of 4 hours a day to 4 hours every 4 days now.

Dense crowds of people shuttled through the streets carrying poles, and the sound of buckets colliding with each other came from the sweaty back. The old man carried a small bucket, half-grown children helped to dive, and the children shuttled through the crowd holding small bowls to catch water, full of enthusiasm.

"Gan Linliang! How can you, Mr. She, take so much water? Do you think we Chaozhou people are easy to bully?"

"Diao, we have a lot of people, of course we can pick up a lot?"

"Where are the Siyi people?"

"Little red guy!"

water supply.

Hakka people, Weitou people, Chaoshan people, Siyi people, etc. abused each other, and when they got close, they fell into pushing and fighting, which eventually turned into a massive and chaotic group fighting.

In this day and age, most people at the bottom want to live on, and most people have more or less backgrounds in associations and trade unions.

In this way, the prefixes An Le, He Sheng, and He Tu, the number Bang Xiao, Yong, Yi, etc., the various districts of Xin'an Company, Shuifang, Yiqun...in short, all will be involved.

Under the camera, Qiu Xinwu mingled among the crowd, fighting with a knife.

The whole scene was turbulent, chaotic and peculiarly sad.

After several months of water cutoff, the entire bottom of society on Hong Kong Island has become a huge powder keg.

In the alley behind the back door of the tall building on the bustling street.

Dozens of rotten boys are chasing and hacking, the camera is extraordinarily sharp like a scalpel, and every inch of flesh and blood is extraordinarily clear.

Garbage everywhere, sewage running across the floor.

Mice jumped on the pipes, cockroaches were everywhere, and flies were flying around the swill bucket. People fought like wild animals in this dirty environment.

Ouch!
The young face was convulsively poured into the sewage with blood all over his face, and his death could not cause any shock.

The numb eyeballs gradually lost their luster.

Looking up to the sky, but never seeing tomorrow again.

Pa——Another immature-faced young man fell to the ground, holding the dirty ground with his hands, struggling to crawl towards the brightly lit street at the intersection.

Bright streets, brand new cars drive by.

When there was hope in the young man's eyes, and the audience was stunned, he was dragged back, like a beast trapped in a swamp, and could not escape the arrangement of fate in the end.

Chopping down with knives... silently.

Qian Tan's struggling palms were presented in front of the camera, his nails scratching the ground, making marks for survival.

Standing in a pool of blood, Qiu Xinwu's handsome blood-stained face and gasping for breath were exposed from behind.

The chaos and shock of it all.

Makes the scalp tingling.

However, the innocent and cheerful tango tune "Por Una Cabeza" sounded in the background music.

The camera turns,
In the magnificent hall surrounded by pearls and emerald greens, countless people in suits, leather shoes and bow ties toasted each other, and the luster of champagne was so wonderful.

Bejeweled dames danced on the dance floor with their tuxedo-clad partners.

They live so delicately.

The laughter is hearty and the singing is cheerful. Everyone seems to be talking about the superiority brought by civilization.

On the stage, blond white Russian horses in tuxedos, suits, top hats, and fishnet high heels danced cheerfully, next to a rotten sailor playing a saxophone.

The ghosts who looked like civilized gentlemen were drinking red wine that looked like human blood. They pushed glasses and changed glasses, smiling happily, and many people who looked like compradors laughed and helped to add the red wine that looked like human blood.

See clearly, it's them, it's them who poured the wine.

The young waiters and girls had such luxury in their eyes, they felt that this was civilization.

Bottles of champagne were opened and poured on the showgirl's head, and she screamed, which attracted wanton laughter from ghosts and compliments from compradors.

Under the money, the people of Tiangang gradually became prostitutes.

Liang Jiahui, whose temples were a little gray, smiled obsequiously.

Bow down and toast.

"He's been having a lot of trouble recently."

"It's human nature to get close to foreigners. When you get old, you can't control too many things."

The tango tune is gradually decreasing, the scene changes, and the two old guys are lying on the bed, holding sticks of cigarette cream in their hands, and there is a young lady next to them to help light the fire.

Zheng Bo, played by Gu Feng, does not have the calm majesty of the previous years in the movie. Instead, he is stooped, like an old dog that has lost its teeth.

He kept coughing heavily, as if he was pulling the wind box.

His eyes are squinted, his eyelids are stretched, and his cloudy eyeballs are full of sophistication.

"In order to help Hong Kong Ying, Mr. Zhou on the mainland deliberately decided to build a reservoir. It's not easy. This kind of thing doesn't happen often."

"As for the association, one family should not be the dominant one. A Liang controls the association, and if water can't get in, it's not a good sign."

"If you don't hand over the account books, you need to communicate with Ale about this matter."

"Hehehehe cough cough cough..." Zheng Bo held the pole in his mouth, his eyes were deep.

"In every era, someone always ends.

The newcomer sings a new song, while the old man plays the piano and looks back.

After all, Dishui Nanyin remained in that era, and the echoes of the streets became popular music.

Short coats and gowns were replaced with jackets and jeans.

Unchanged, still stand out! 』

bang bang bang-

Liang Jiahui in a suit and leather shoes fell on his back at the pinnacle of his life when the new hotel opened and cut the ribbon.

Just like a few years ago, he knew that Uncle Zheng was going to kill him, so he killed him in advance.

The people around were in chaos, and the shooter was beaten into a sieve in an instant.

The day before the turmoil, Liang Jiahui's life was frozen.

"The turmoil that had been raging for months has finally subsided...

This is a sport with no winners. 』

These people are not revolutionaries!
They are not revolutionaries!
"Don't go!

What you should do is study.

This is not what you are going to do, let alone accept this kind of incitement, involving ordinary citizens is a wrong behavior..." Qiu Xinwu stopped his sister.

"You don't understand what we're doing at all?"

Qiu Xinzhen glared at her brother angrily, and shouted angrily: "You're just a young and Dangerous boy! You don't even know how great what I'm doing now!"

"Snapped--"

In Kwun Tong Tanglou, Qiu Xinwu, played by Luo Dong, slapped Qiu Xinzhen played by Li Xiaozun with a frantic slap.

Under the over-the-shoulder camera, the brothers and sisters are side-by-side.

Qiu Xinwu's palms trembled, and Qiu Xinzhen's skirt passed by.

More than ten years ago, he was an elder brother and she was a younger sister, and they depended on each other to keep warm.

Ten years later, he is young and Dangerous, she is a leftist student, they...

In the movie, Qiu Xinwu, the younger sister played by Li Xiaozun, participated in the demonstration.The chaotic scene made the scene look like a farce.

Acid, bombs, guns.

No one expected this farce to evolve into such a horrible atrocity.

During this period, Qiu Xinwu frantically searched for his sister's whereabouts, but to no avail.

Some people said they saw her at school, others said they saw her in Shatoujiao.

Some people said that she was deported, and some people said that she met her when shopping for vegetables.

Hong Kong Island is not big, but it is far apart.

After that, Qiu Xinwu also had his own daughter.

...

TV in the room.

The Honor Ceremony of the Hong Kong Island Police Force is playing.

Because of their performance, the Queen of England awarded the prefix "Royal", so far, the police force began to be called the Royal Hong Kong Island Police.

"Boss, hurry up, Fat Brother told us to do something."

"coming."

Qiu Xinwu turned off the TV and put on his leather jacket.

I am both looking forward to and afraid of the news of my sister.

Afraid of hearing bad news.

When he heard the news of his sister, it was already three years later——

1970 years.

In Tuen Mun, Qiu Xinwu just walked out of a gambling stall called 'Ni Kun', and casually patted the shoulder of the short parking boy Ah Chen at the door, "Work hard, and wait for you to set up a parking stall here in the future."

"Hey." The dwarf scratched his head and smiled.

At this time, the camera showed a female worker pushing a garbage truck, and the sharp-eyed Qiu Xinwu suddenly chased after her.

Finally, I met Qiu Xinzhen, the younger sister who was disfigured by sulfuric acid.

The montage of movie memories here replays what happened to my sister back then, and chatted a few scenes, which can be regarded as an explanation.

Here is a brief explanation of the relationship between the siblings, and then the camera turns, and the scene of the younger sister hanging herself like a mother is shown to the audience.

She is full of injuries.

That night, Qiu Xinwu took a knife and invited a couple to 'leave' Hong Kong Island by boat. There was a typhoon that night.

The couple has never been seen again.

All I know is that the man's name is Peter.

Then there are some simple shots of him running to Southeast Asia... and also interspersed with stories of his shuttle between Thailand, Cambodia and Hong Kong Island.

The timeline also passed in 1974. Through newspapers and radio broadcasts, the audience also knew the news of the establishment of the ICAC on Hong Kong Island.

There was a major earthquake in the police force and associations.

Fatty called back Qiu Xinwu, who was concentrating on doing business, and he also took this opportunity to become the team with the largest prefix...

In the following year, his horse in Kwun Tong took in a group of young and Dangerous youngsters in a public housing estate for him. One of them was plain-looking, and it was Gu Tianle's character 'Fei Zi Tian'.

In 1976, Qiu Xinwu led his subordinates to take a bath and massage in Jinyu Manlou in Causeway Bay.

In the lens, mist is dense.

in the big pool,

The ordinary-looking horse boy under his hand pointed to the bustling streets of Causeway Bay, and said that he would help him enter Causeway Bay in a few years.

He smiled and didn't take it seriously.

At this time, the entire Hong Kong Island has shed its old clothes and started its own take-off, and the scenes of feasting and feasting and busy traffic are also faithfully shown to the audience.

Its take-off is inseparable from the struggle of the trade unions, the help of the Guangfu Reservoir to the economy, and many people.

Qiu Xinwu stood at the intersection.

It's like an eternity.

He experienced the Republic of China, the Anti-Japanese War, and the Kuomintang-Communist War in his life, and then he was displaced to Hong Kong Island, a small colonial place, where he met idealists, egoists, and all kinds of people.

It seems that I am a witness to a long history.

In each chapter, there is its unique protagonist and story.

After forty years of life, I feel that time is passing faster and faster. Many times, it feels like it has been stolen.

Year after year, it doesn't even say hello to you.

He also changed from 'Sampan Boy' to 'Wu Zai', "A Wu", "Brother Qiu", "Big Head Qiu", "Big Guy Qiu"...

In 1981, on the second day of his birthday party, his good girl almost gave him a heart attack.

He also took the stick to blow the bastard's ass with his pants stripped off.

"Diao, Gan Linliang! You street boy, are you picking on my daughter? Are you wearing a T? One point is enough?"

In the end, he threw down a few boxes of small umbrellas and walked away.

Women's colleges do not stay.

Only a sigh remained.

"But it's good, at least I can see my good grandson." Qiu Xinwu laughed,
"Retire in two years, just bring my grandchildren..."

Under the afterglow, the figure stretches very long, the bustling streets no longer have the old taste, the rivers and lakes are getting more and more, and the heart of retreat will appear more and more.

"You stinky brats, you imitate others at a young age and come out to mix with the society, get out—"

Seeing a few young students, he couldn't help scolding.

Looking at the few students who fled away in dissatisfaction, he seemed to see the scene where Brother Fei, Brother Hui, and Uncle Zheng reprimanded him back then, and it was vivid in his memory.

So I was so annoying back then!

Qiu Xinwu is standing on the street. This shot is a close-up shot of his face. According to the left side of the frame, light and shadow are intertwined on his face.

Blur and blank space behind, with a large aperture and shallow depth of field.

A middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old showed an innocent smile.

……

A subtitle appeared on the screen: "one year later".

The opening scene was a carnival scene in a nightclub in Causeway Bay. Qiu Xinwu watched Ma Zai accepting people's money, smiling brightly.

Walking out of the nightclub, it is convenient to go to the opposite alley with a smile.

Suddenly it rained heavily.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, the alley was quiet, Ma Zai was holding a black umbrella for Qiu Xinwu, and he pushed it away casually.

In a white vest and suit, he stared into the night.

Dark shadows swayed around, raindrops fell on the umbrella, and water splashed everywhere.

Under the shooting of the high-speed camera, the rainwater turns into a series of crystal clear lines.

Here, the raindrops use the technique of upgraded photography, and use the series of raindrops to create a sense of occlusion, so that the audience can feel fast with slowness.

Outside the iron fence of black intricate craftsmanship, countless people came silently to surround it.

The rain soaked up my ankles.

"Hack him!"

Countless killers came towards Qiu Xinwu.

This is the so-called rivers and lakes.

When you are absolutely timid, then it will not give you a choice.

It betrays faster than your reflexes.

In this scene, Qiu Xinwu is no longer the fierce and invincible young man in the alley.

Staggering, he was inevitably slashed with knives, and close-ups of his entire face kept appearing on the screen.

Dark blood blocked the line of sight and the camera.

Lips slightly parted.

Blood flowed on the face.

The expression of the young man struggling to escape in the alley appeared in the screen, and he also wanted to reach out——

Boom—boom!

Caught empty.

He fell straight on the ground, the rain splashed everywhere, and the drops of water revealed the familiar or unfamiliar faces from the past.

His body shook, and the splashing water hit him, making him like a puppet with its strings broken.

Shouting 'Big Brother! ! ! ' The murmur, he couldn't hear clearly, his eyes were blurred.

A close-up of the heart, with a knife inserted, just like reincarnation, this knife seems to be different, and it seems to be exactly the same as the one he used back then.

The audience was silent.

It was a happy scene just now, he was still teasing his daughter, he patted Ma Zai on the shoulder to entrust him with entrustment, and he held the wine glass to everyone with pride and ambition.

In a blink of an eye, without delay.

He fell into the rain.

This abruptness is like the knife in Qiu Xinwu's chest, which killed him and pierced the illusion and fantasy of the audience at the same time.

The background music gradually became louder, and the episode of "Song to Heaven" also sounded.

"See each other dearly,
Holding hands and encouraging each other,

The two characters of morality and righteousness face the earth and the sky. 』

"He came to the city in a small sampan with his parents when he was ten years old." The evaluation of him at the time is vivid in my memory.

"Singing and toasting,
Ambition writes my promise,

Talking about life and death will not change. 』In the picture, he holds a joss stick and worships at the entrance of the hall.

"Now all the spring flowers are blooming,
In the future, the autumn wind is inevitable,

Old stories have been staged for generations. 』He carried his sister Qiu Xinzhen behind his back, and the other party smiled like a flower.

"Never give up and never give up,
hook hands with you taste,

Life depends on each other and does not change. 』He was sweating profusely and ran upstairs with the hot offal in his arms. The big belly woman hid with a smile to scare him.

"There is cessation and birth, and the world has continuation and continuation,
There is no day, no today,

Asking with a smile when and where we will meet the people from the past again,

Do you know the year? 』

Bang—— Zheng Bo propped himself up on the air, sitting on the sofa, with blood on his forehead, and he couldn't close his eyes.

Bang - the gunshot, Liang Jiahui's smile froze, and he fell with his head up holding the scissors.

"Now all the spring flowers are blooming,
In the future, the autumn wind is inevitable,

Old stories, staged from generation to generation..."

When the picture came back, he opened his eyes, and the blood flowed down from the corner of his head and across his eyes.

The black and white picture gradually became bloody.

The screen is full of bloody romance.

"Boss-"

In the end, he smiled.

In the scene, there are gradually colorful colors, and the streets of Causeway Bay are full of colorful and colorful flowers.

Countless people became alive and bright.

The picture has also become a color film!
The movie is over!

The subtitles rose and the singing sounded.

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

I would like to dedicate this film to everyone who is insignificant in history! 』

The lights come on.

All quiet.

Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Sporadic applause suddenly appeared, and then, the applause became more and more intense—until the applause resounded like thunder throughout the theater.

theater door,

Wu Xiaozu stopped and looked back, silent.

Seeing the audience, film critics and stars in the whole hall, they all stood up excitedly and applauded vigorously. There was continuous applause and cheers, and many emotional audiences were sobbing and wiping their tears.

Seeing this scene,
He smiled, turned and left.

　Thank you for your rewards and support!
