On the first day of 2024, I wish you all a happy new year and Wishing you prosperity!I still remember that on this day last year, Xiaogu took everyone to revisit the 92 version of "Happy Family", a superstar-studded Hong Kong-style Chinese New Year comedy masterpiece. 
And there is another film, created by the original team, which is also known as the "ancient and modern happy events" New Year's film-"Happy Affair in the Flower Field" (1993).(Reply to the title in the background.), that is, **positive)
The film was released in January 1993 and became the box office champion of the Hong Kong Lunar New Year stall that year. 
Although the film has not won any awards, and some people have complained that "it can't be elegant", the wonderful dialogues in the movie will make people smile after 31 years. 
Fun for the whole family
The film is based on the classic literary masterpiece "Water Margin", as well as the famous play "Flower Field Wrong".
The story is set in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Zhou Tong (played by Xu Guanjie), a son of a rich family, is overbearing because of his strong martial arts.
His sister Zhou Ji (played by Wu Junru) is not a fuel-efficient lamp and is addicted to gambling. 
His mother, Zhou Taijun, wanted to restrain the two children, hoping that they would settle down and start a family.
contacted a friend who was married many years ago, and his son Lin Jiasheng (played by Huang Baiming) came all the way
But on the wedding night, he couldn't stand Zhou Ji's bullying and fled.
Since then, Taijun has not thought about tea and dinner.
Zhou Tong was worried about his mother's health, and decided to hold a birthday celebration, and wanted to invite the famous magician Gao Baifei (played by Leslie Cheung) to help him.
In a street juggling, I met Bai Xuexian (played by Guan Zhilin), who came out to visit the flower market in disguise.
Bai Xuexian is a young lady from a big family, and she slipped out of the house dressed as **, but because her face was too good-looking, she stole Gao Baifei's limelight.
Jealous, Gao Baifei gritted his teeth on the side and pulled him onto the stage to embarrass him.
In order to guess what this "big-eyed brother" was wearing, he touched the other party with magic and realized that it was a woman.
Bai Xuexian was very nervous, thinking that her identity was about to be exposed.
Unexpectedly, Gao Baifei was very graceful to relieve him.
Because of this, the two have feelings for each other, paving the way for the next hero to save the United States.
In order to prevent his beloved from marrying the bully Zhou Tong, Gao Baifei pretended to be ** and went out of the cabinet for her.
Bai Dad (played by Wu Mengda) is also a lustful person, and when he saw a strange woman who was weak and couldn't help himself, he thought it was a woman from another family who was asked to marry instead of his daughter.
I thought to myself, instead of cheapening the bully, it is better to enjoy it first.
Gao Baifei was tied up to the bully's house, and in order to get out, he resorted to Zhou Ji's beautiful man's trick, saying that he did it all to soak her.
Gao Baifei bewitched Zhou Ji, escaped from Zhou's house, and went to the inn non-stop to date his sweetheart.
Unexpectedly, he went to the wrong room and got into the bed of the dominatrix (played by Mao Shunyun), and was treated as a "duck" bought with money.
A group of people, some misunderstandings, although chaotic but creating a lot of jokes, make the whole event full of fun.
The film blends historical background and cultural elements to tell a comedic story about family relationships and social class in a light-hearted and humorous way. The unique narrative style and meticulous shaping of the characters have been warmly sought after by the audience.
Chinese New Year's masterpiece
The birth of "Happy Events in the Flower Field" is also quite interesting.
When Huang Baiming visited the "Tang Town" theme park in Singapore, he saw ancient buildings full of eyes
There are ancient yamen, tea houses, Hengtai pavilions, ancient brothels and so on.
So, the idea of making a costume comedy came about.
Gao Zhisen, who is known for his flatness, beauty and speed, served as the director, and it took only one month to complete the filming of "Happy Events in the Flower Field".
originally asked Huang Baiming to play the magician Gao Baifei, but after reading the script, Huang Baiming insisted on playing Lin Jiasheng, and recommended Leslie Cheung to play the role of Gao Baifei.
Facts have proved that it is indeed suitable for Leslie Cheung to play, continuing his brother's romantic personality.
The role of "Dominatrix" needs to be ruthlessly ugly, and the actress who can ignore her image at that time seems to be the only one Wu Junru.
Until the director called Mao Shunyun's ** with apprehension, she didn't mind at all after hearing it, and said that she was very willing to challenge herself.
There is a birthmark in the middle of the face, and a few matchmaker moles are really ugly. Not only does the dominatrix have to be ugly, but they also behave quite heroically.
In one scene, she directly picked up a 30-centimeter knife and swept away the black leg hair.
And the most eye-catching thing about this film is all kinds of nonsensical stalks-
Paging frogs;Fully manual traffic lights;
Minimum spend in the tavern;
Taxi detour;
711 convenience store;
Mercedes-Benz, Rolls-Royce logo on the horse's head;
Eat soft rice;Fancy "spelling daddy" phenomenon;
Scumbag women cast their nets widely, draw cakes and fish;
Irony*** sees money and opens his eyes, and turning his face is faster than turning a book.
These hilarious and connotative clips make people laugh at the same time, and at the same time, they can't help but feel the screenwriter's brain.
Revisiting this movie again, you will miss the shining era of Hong Kong films.
A group of celebrities took off the burden of idols and pretended to be crazy and stupid, just to smile at the beginning of the New Year.
The joy that the film brings to the audience is true;
Spiritual resonance and companionship, it's true.
Finally, I wish you all a safe and joyful new year, and Wishing you prosperity!
