spoilers in advance.
Seventh anniversary theme, "Hong Kong Feng" .
So you can find that Sir's two articles today are both Hong Kong film themes.
There is no way, you have to find inspiration for your outfit today (what you wear in the end is kept confidential first).
header picture writes a new film, and the second picture writes a 20-year-old Hong Kong film.
The " Golden Rooster " two days ago is a story about the ups and downs of Hong Kong from the perspective of "A Jin".
Today.
answers from a "low-energy" perspective:
, what is Hong Kong flavor?
1
Hong Kong flavor is dark
Sir, I believe that many people once couldn't understand why "McDull" is classic.
was released that year, and its box office exceeded the same period "Spirited Away";
in the next ten years, it won domestic and foreign awards, including one Academy Awards, three Golden Horse Awards, and the "Oscars in the animation industry" Annasi Film Festival Best Animation Feature Film Award (only Chinese).
isn't it a pig?
is dull and 5-year-old pig who never grows up, no matter how funny it is, it is not as "magical work".
0 years later.
You will find that something magical happened:
Every time you look at it, this "little pig" seems to grow up as you age.
Because, you gradually discover many familiar details.
For example.
One of the most representative Hong Kong flavor characters, Stephen Chow .
McDull is definitely the most loyal "fan" of Star Chow .
Came on occasion:
obvious tribute:
△《King of Comedy "McDull Story》
There is a deeper level.
is represented by Stephen Chow, the grassroots core of Hong Kong movies.
"McDull Story" has two sides. The side of
is gray.
You can "see" from the camera:
McDull and his mother Maita live in Tai Kok Tsui, Kowloon. There is no glossy Central CBD building, only the house that is like canned sardines, and the civilians hugged the low and old concrete old houses.
You can "hear" from the lines:
McDull and his mother are the most ordinary working pigs.
The reason why McDull is called McDull is really derived from an "Dull" . When Maita was about to give birth, a plastic basin flew to her delivery bed. Just like every mother who wanted her son to become a dragon, Maita quickly made a wish, "I hope he is smart and good at studying."
Jiaobao did not respond.
Maita quickly gave in, "or it's okay to be as handsome as Andy Lau Zhou Runfa."
rubber pocket still didn't respond.
OK, Maita had to put his hands together.
compromised:
It doesn’t matter if you are not smart or handsome. As long as you have a good fortune, you will be lucky all your life. It’s good that everything can turn bad luck into good luck
It’s of course the best for him to solve problems with his own abilities.
Is this really a compromise?
obviously doesn't.
Superstition is the last straw for the people at the bottom.
But how can McDull and mom fight against such darkness?
The other side of "McDull" is the ultimate high saturation tone of .
In McDull's eyes, my mother is "Super Mario".
She is in full swing and has a lot of odd jobs.
The most "successful" thing is her cooking program.
Maita knows how to make all kinds of "chicken":
includes Kuaikui chicken, paper bag, paper bag, paper bag, paper bag, paper bag, paper bag chicken...
is funny?
is sadness behind:
Maita made a show from beginning to end, and there was only a real chicken in his hand.
There is no way, you can only get the ratings of the doll.
so.
The entire McDull can be regarded as a "chicken wrapping paper" tutorial by Maita.
My son wants to go to Maldives to play, but the family has no money, what should I do?
Travel version chicken wrapping paper:
Maita takes McDull on a cable "plane", went to Hong Kong Taiping Mountain Top "Maldives", played the same snorkeling , and ate Western food.
What is Hong Kong flavor?
Hong Kong flavor is to display the bottom layer without filters.
Hong Kong flavor is tightly held by the people at the bottom of the class in the darkness.
The neon light of my own in my heart.

Hong Kong flavor is a birthmark
McDull and Hong Kong's bond. You can start with a round birthmark on McDull's right eye.
Someone analyzed it like this:
Birthmark symbolizes a Hong Kong era. After the financial crisis in the late 1990s, this microcosm was always left in the most conspicuous place.
Indeed, "McDull" interspersed with a lot of changes in this land in Hong Kong.
Countless immigrants and Hong Kong people, relying on their hard work, promoted the start of industrialization in Hong Kong at that time.
The prototype of the spirit of Lion Mountain.
But until the release of the movie version of McDull, the former international financial center did not recover from great asthma, and many people, as McDull said, "It turned into a negative asset overnight."
△ "McDull: Prince of Pineapple Oil"
"McDull" seems to be on the opposite side of the "Lion Mountain Spirit".
Here, all advocacy that is out of reality is completely ineffective.
such as education.
Principal Chaozhou people, speaking non-standard Cantonese and Mandarin , kindergartens are not able to make ends meet, and the only thing I remember when I start school is to urge everyone to pay tuition fees.
When Hong Kong children began to learn the diverse intelligence " inverse ", the principal taught everyone to learn to cheat (pretend to death) and let down, and opened the " earth-style dance pretend to be dead class" and "BBQ fishing cuttlefish pretend to be dead class", and also likes to play with memes.
For example, feelings.
Spring Field Huahua Kindergarten went bankrupt and the principal returned to his hometown.
000, Hong Kong accelerated its pace of reconstruction, and the robotic arm penetrated deep into the dilapidated old house. Rows of new-style communities grew behind McDull's house, and McDull still lives in the house with peeling walls.
But has anyone ever thought about: Why is the "birthmark" that represents the pain of the times?
birthmark is not only a trace of change.
is the fate of small people in the big era.
Just like the hilarious "Fish Balls Shrimp":
McDull: Please, fish balls Shrimp
Principal: No coarse noodles
McDull: Is that true? Come to the bowl of fish balls and rice noodles
Principal: No fish balls and
McDull: Is that true? Then beef tripe thick noodles
Principal: No rough noodles
McDull: Then you need fish balls oil noodles
Principal: No fish balls
McDull: Why don’t you have anything? Then you need cuttlefish balls with thick noodles
Principal: No thick noodles
McDull: Sold out again? Please come and have a bowl of fish ball rice noodles
Principal: No fish balls
Next to: McDull, their fish balls and thick noodles are sold out, but all the combinations with fish balls and thick noodles are gone
McDull: Oh~~! There is no matching in it... Please just want fish balls
Principal: There is no fish balls
McDull: What about the rough noodles?
Principal: No rough
Xie Liwen said:
Actually, I have come into contact with many adults. They seem to be doing things that may not be their true personality all day long, and everyone dresses up like the same. I vaguely feel that he might have been a McDull when he was a child, but now he has grown up when he was a child.
When McDull was a kid, he was carefree and had no rough noodles, so let’s have fish balls.
But when he grew up, McDull had already woken up:
"Some things, there is, there is, there is nothing, there is nothing, it doesn't work, it doesn't work."
Look at their future:
McDull, middle-aged office worker in debt;
A Mei, enters " grid "; A Hui, courier; Gu Shi, classmate, driver...
But can you say they failed?
Mita's wish when she was about to give birth may not have come true.
McDull doesn't look like Andy Lau and Chow Yun-fat.
But his bronze statue is brighter on the Victoria Harbor Avenue of Stars than the handprints of Andy Lau and Chow Yun-fat next door.

What is Hong Kong flavor?
Hong Kong flavor is the not-so-good “birthmark”.
Hong Kong flavor, it is the spot of light composed of countless glimmers, which is enough to illuminate a city forever.

Hong Kong flavor is...
001 to 2016, there were 6 animated movies in the McDull series:
001 "McDull Story", 2004 " McDull Pineapple Oil Prince ", 2006 " Spring Field Flower Class Reunion ", 2009 " McDull Dangdang ", 2012 " McDull Dangdang Accompany My Heart ", 2014 "McDull Me and My Mom", 2016 "McDull Bun Bao Ark".
Among them, only "McDull Story" and "McDull Pineapple Prince" are purely local productions. Later, the films were co-productions of "McDull Go North" . The "Hong Kong flavor" in the McDull series begins to fade away slowly.
From the birthmark of McDull at the beginning of his birth, to the real Hong Kong estate, shops, Hong Kong food, including tea restaurants, pineapple buns , egg tarts, fish balls...
has a strong Hong Kong local atmosphere.
The soul of "McDull" is also in the fact that almost every "McDull" has several catchy and brainwashing songs.
cute child voice, Schubert , Schumann , Mozart classical music melody, especially Hong Kong-style lyrics that refilled the lyrics.
"The spring breeze kisses me, it's like an egg tart tart ~~"
" The whole bag has two more cages, and the whole bag has two more cages, and the whole bag has two more cages."
Sir likes, especially such nonsensical and weird lyrics:
" I would like to be like a piece of , hold plum dish hold your hand. "
Even the past that Hong Kong people don't remember, "McDull" remembers.
disappeared folk customs.
最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方最卡方� But in the 1970s, due to frequent injuries and accidents, the activity of robbing the mountain was cancelled.
Interestingly, the scene of failed application for resumption in "McDull Story" was really presented in the robbing the mountain competition that resumption in 2005.
This is a little warmth brought by "McDull".
In "McDull Loud Dang", Maita took McDull north to Wudang Mountain to practice gong, with only the first 20 minutes and the last 10 minutes in Hong Kong, and the lack of laughter and sense of patchwork in the middle is getting stronger and stronger, forming a sense of separation.
"McDull Me and My Mom" has become a household name for children all over the country;
"McDull Fried Ark", McDull became the hero on earth who saved the world.
McDull has been a loser who will never succeed and has a grassroots counterattack.
But the audience understands:
Pig is still the same pig, but it is not the "McDull" inside.
McDull, on "North" and "Hong Kong flavor"
So some people say, don’t make things difficult, why not shoot it.
McDull series has not released new movies for 5 years, and even on this 20th anniversary, there is no re-screening arrangement.
McDull, have you forgotten?
What is the so-called Hong Kong flavor?
is not the symbolic tag of those tea restaurants and pineapple bread, but the inconspicuous but tough fireworks and "popularity".
Sir noticed. In the McDull series, McDull who grew up had the appearance of McDull who grew up, and McDull may become a chef when he grew up.
McDull finally has endless chicken, rough noodles and big buns. As Maita said, an ordinary happy person.
This is a tenderness wrapped in cruelty that the creator has from an adult perspective.
Xie Liwen said:
When you accept a reality, if a person is not talented enough, he will not do it. No matter how hard he tries, he will not do it, but it means that the person is finished?
The answer given by Xie Liwen is no.
Even if it is ordinary as McDull, it has the right to live an ordinary life.
For example, the professor in Mozart effect class said in McDull's evaluation:
"He is not a low-powered, he is just kind."
Did he really deny McDull's "low-powered"?
is not.
What he denies is that there are too many "self-righteous" in this world.
What is Hong Kong flavor?
Hong Kong flavor may not be elite enough, not "fashionable".
But it must be honest with life.
Therefore, it can travel through time again and again, fight against time, and call out the resonance of us at different stages.
Life is like a play.
is Hong Kong flavor.
