"I love watching movies, and I like to watch Hong Kong movies the most. I hope there will be more activities to bring Hong Kong to Xi'an. Ms. Wang, a citizen of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, who worked in Hong Kong when she was young, said.
Recently, the 10-day "2023 Shaanxi-Hong Kong Film Culture and Art Exhibition" hosted by the Liaison Office of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ** in Shaanxi was held in Xi'an Western Film Park. Many citizens and tourists like Ms. Liu have experienced Hong Kong's light and shadow years, artistic characteristics and cultural charm through themed activities such as the Hong Kong Film Culture Exhibition, Hong Kong Classic Film Screening, and Hong Kong Film Festival, and strengthened cultural exchanges and cooperation between Shaanxi and Hong Kong and discussed the development of the film industry between the two places through the retelling of the friendship between light and shadow.
Enjoy the dazzling Hong Kong movie
This is the first time I have watched this movie in a movie theater, and the shock brought by the big screen is more intuitive and three-dimensional. Seeing Jackie Chan's thrilling action scenes, he will unconsciously clench his fists. After the screening of "New Police Story", one audience member could not calm down for a long time.
Hong Kong films have always accompanied the growth and life of the people of Shaanxi and Hong Kong, and the people of Shaanxi are inseparable from Hong Kong films in their understanding of Hong Kong. As an important part of this film culture and art exhibition, Hong Kong classic films will be screened in Western Film and China Film International Cinema, and 9 classic Hong Kong films will accompany the audience to review the brilliant style and cultural heritage of Hong Kong metropolis.
This screening includes classic Hong Kong films such as "Journey to the West: The Great Sage Marries", "The Grandmaster", "Anita Mui", "My Extraordinary Parents", "I Still Think You", "The Bad Tongue Lawyer" and other classic Hong Kong movies, gathering Hong Kong stars such as Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat, Wu Junru, Louis Koo, Aaron Kwok, Jacky Cheung, etc., covering the road of Hong Kong light and shadow in the past 30 years, showing the development process of Hong Kong films. The relevant staff of West Film Group said.
As the opening film of this exhibition, the classic movie "Journey to the West: The Great Sage Marrying" jointly produced by Hong Kong and Xi'an Film Studio in 1995 is very popular. The classic lines awakened the audience's emotional memory, and when the classic song sounded, a chorus tide was set off in the theater. The "Journey to the West" series of films is the common memory of the people of Shaanxi and Hong Kong, and many viewers said that it is not the first time to watch this movie, but they often watch it often.
Bring an audio-visual feast
Feel the chivalrous pride of the children of the rivers and lakes in "A Laugh in the Sea", experience the helplessness and bitterness of life in "If the Wine Sells Nothing", and shed tears for sincere love in "The Love ......of My Life" and "Sweet Honey".During the event, 6 unique Hong Kong films** will be held in the Western Film Cinema Park, paying tribute to the classics in the never-fading melody and bringing an audio-visual feast to the audience.
I have loved listening to Cantonese songs since I was a child, and this ** will make me feel the charm of classic songs again, as if I have returned to my youth. "Wong Ka-keung is a Hong Kong movie lover, and he sings along almost the whole time, and he is deeply involved in it. Ms. Li sighed after the meeting: "The last time I listened to Cantonese songs on the spot, I paid tribute to my youth with my girlfriends, and now I listen to it with my baby, which feels quite amazing." ”
In addition, the Hong Kong Film Culture Exhibition held at the West Film Building will comprehensively showcase the inheritance and changes of Hong Kong films through classic movie posters, precious preserved videotapes, commemorative cards, rare original stills, script manuscripts, etc., leading film lovers to immerse themselves in Hong Kong film culture. There is a movie plate maker check-in group photo device set up at the art exhibition site, which attracts many visitors to take pictures.
Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan are my favorite kung fu movie stars. Mr. Zhang, a movie fan, said excitedly, "I saw Bruce Lee sign a contract with Golden Harvest Film Company for the first time today. "Cinema can open people's eyes and see different worlds, and that's the beauty of it. Liu, a student majoring in choreography and directing, said that he hoped to hold more such activities in the future, so that he could get understanding and inspiration in movie stills, posters, scripts, and manuscripts.
Deepen practical cooperation
Hong Kong movies are the DNA of Hong Kong culture, a glorious gilded time, and a screen classic that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the early 90s of the 20th century, Xi'an Film Studio cooperated with Hong Kong in films such as "Jianghu Soldiers" and "Cannon Double Lights", and then, they jointly filmed classics such as "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" and "Journey to the West: The Great Sage Marrying", which have become the common memories of several generations.
Shaanxi and Hong Kong have achieved brilliant and outstanding results in film and cultural exchanges. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR)** is actively promoting the development of cultural and creative industries in Hong Kong as Asia's cultural and creative capital. With Hong Kong films as the medium and exhibition as the main body, this event will present the diverse aspects of Hong Kong film culture to the people of Shaanxi Province with the film viewing meeting and film conference, so that everyone can experience the cultural heritage of Hong Kong, the feelings of Hong Kong people and the rich creativity and imagination of Hong Kong filmmakers, promote people-to-people ties between the two places, and strengthen cultural exchanges and cooperation between the two places. Yuan Jianuo, director of the Economic Office of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in Chengdu, said.
In recent years, Shaanxi and Hong Kong have adhered to the concept of "common development and common prosperity", joined hands and complemented each other's advantages, and the exchanges and cooperation between the two sides in the fields of economy, culture, finance and science and technology have continued to expand. "We attach great importance to strengthening exchanges and cooperation with all sectors in Hong Kong, and are willing to work with Hong Kong to seize opportunities such as high-quality Belt and Road cooperation and the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, further deepen practical cooperation, promote mutual benefit and common development between the two sides, and make positive contributions to building a new development pattern."
