Chapter 18 out of place

In Zhang Ailing's novel "Agarwood Chips: The First Incense", Ge Weilong went to his aunt, accompanied by her servants, in front of the gate of the aunt's deep house compound, amidst the barking of dogs, in front of the aunt's servants During the historic moment when she came to open the door, Ge Weilong was suddenly sober, objective and calm. Because of the surrounding environment, her vision and attitude changed, and she felt that her servant was very strange: "Her braid is tied in a murderous way." Teng Teng, like the nine-section steel whip in martial arts novels. Weilong suddenly felt that he didn't know her, and had never looked at her objectively."

Mainland artists and artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan often have this effect when they stand together. Whether it is in public or private occasions, or in co-productions, or in variety shows, whenever artists from both sides of the strait appear at the same time, the mainland artists who were used to watching before suddenly look different. It makes people feel that "I don't know her, and I have never looked at her with an objective eye."It's clearly entertainment, but it has the kind of flames that burst into the sky and blaze in the face of historical moments. In the past, there were differences in form and spirit. In 1989, Liu Xiaoqing visited Hong Kong and met Lin Qingxia, which became a sensational event. Yi Shu never let go of such a dramatic moment. The teasing meaning in the column is beyond words: "Liu Xiaoqing recently visited abroad, wearing bright red rouge and wearing flowery clothes , wearing a diamond bracelet watch, a thick gold chain around his neck, spelling out English words with broken diamonds.... The end is glamorous, making Brigitte Lin, who has short straight hair, light makeup, and sweater and jeans, look like a hard-working student. She also said: "I don't admire Brigitte Lin, I haven't even watched a single movie of her." And "Teresa Teng's songs are no longer popular."... She said that her epitaph will read like this: "Here is the burial of China. The most rumored female star, she is a legend who is true to herself and has never been understood by others.'" In Maizi's "American Style Records", the record of Liu Xiaoqing's visit to the United States in 1987, and Yi Shu's little bitterness Ying Ying: "If I were asked to go to Taiwan, like Honghong (the daughter of Hongxiannv), I would never do it." "I think it is more in line with China's national conditions to not wear makeup. Besides, the most important thing for an actor is Temperament rather than grooming.” — because it is a positive, praiseworthy tone, which is even more sad.

Stars, in fact, condense all our progress and experience related to the times.Of course, Hong Kong and Taiwan are not born leading in fashion.Li Lihua or Bai Guang, who went from Shanghai to Hong Kong in the 1940s, were the unyielding style leaders. Zheng Peipei, who went to Hong Kong from Shanghai in the 1960s, was still able to stand alone. But in 1980, 15-year-old Carina Lau went to In Hong Kong, the situation has changed. Carina Lau, who was influenced by "The White Haired Girl", "Red Detachment of Women" and "Red Lantern" (self-reported in an interview with Lin Yanni before marriage), arrived wearing a yellow jacket and bright red flared trousers. In Hong Kong, TVB's twelfth artist training class came out and entered the show business circle, but Hong Kong people did not accept her and always laughed at her clothes and life.In forty years, east wind and west wind, east and west, all reversed, leading the rise became the lead fall, and the times held back the female stars.

In the era of co-productions, the differences in clothing and makeup have narrowed, but the differences in expression are still heaven and earth. In 2003, CEPA ("Mainland and Hong Kong Arrangement Concerning the Establishment of Closer Economic and Trade Relations") required that the proportion of main actors from the mainland in co-production films should not be less than one-third of the total number of main actors in the film. This measure may be for learning , but it is also a bit like "mixing sand" written by Yang Jiang-letting "revolutionary masses" live in the homes of "bourgeois authorities". After "mixing sand", a large number of mainland artists appeared in Hong Kong movies, but this one-third, and the other two-thirds, collided.This one-third is orthodox, sitting upright, and less fussy, while the other two-thirds have been soaked in mature civil culture for many years, and are infected by love for secular life. , are soft, flexible, rich in details, pay attention to equality, dare to laugh at themselves and dare to introspect, they have a soft figure, and they are cynical and sarcasm first.But the two parts have to be put together, and the contrast between the two is even more striking.

Of course, movies are dramatic and highly controlled, and human factors often interfere with the purity of samples. The comparison in variety shows is even more convincing.The benchmark is the performance of mainland stars in "Kangxi Is Coming".In the 45-minute program, Cai Kangyong and Xiao S lured the snake out of the hole with a solemn and complete approach. From physical strength, endurance to literacy reserve, it is a strict test for the artist. In the end, it is almost impossible not to reveal the original shape.But the mainland artists are different, almost as soon as they stand next to Cai Kangyong and Xiao S, they show the difference. The main actors of "The Wind", Huang Lei, Li Ai, Na Ying, and Xiao Shenyang, are mostly like this. The overall performance is not bad, and there are even some bright spots, but the bad thing is that it is straightforward, blunt, and awe-inspiring, "murderous", and lacks human details. .

This difference may come from the difference in geographical personality between the north and the south. People from Fujian and Cantonese live in places facing the sea. What they see in their eyes are green trees and large red flowers. Their geographical personality is warm and pragmatic.Southeast Satellite TV has a "Strait Morning News", which is almost a concrete presentation of this personality, blue and green fights, city and county politicians jump in Danshui River to gain popularity, snack bars use handsome clerks to attract customers, middle school students cosplay Wu Shuzhen at the graduation ceremony—— I have never seen such a firework news.A little bit north is not enough, Korean news, you can always see a piece of black clothes, bright white lights, and people commit suicide at every turn.The temperature is one degree higher and one degree lower, and the latitude is one point more than one point, and the character is completely different.

The most important reason is that we have lived for decades without secular life.Acheng said that Chinese culture is basically secular culture.However, in the past few decades, secular culture and secular life have been swept away. The buildings have to be neat and uniform, the cups in the conference room have to be in a line, and the ancient soldiers in the movie have to walk in a group gymnastics. Clothes cannot be hung on the Internet, night markets have always been regarded as a cancer, people are happy to cancel the details of human nature, and laugh at redundant emotions.Even the actors are upright and fearful.During the 30 years of reconstruction, what was actually reconstructed was secular life, but sometimes it advances and sometimes retreats, with such twists and turns.However, in Hong Kong and Taiwan, secular life has not been interrupted and can be preserved to the greatest extent. This is where the differences arise, especially in the case of artists.After careful study, it is somewhat disappointing.

I just don’t know how long this difference can last. It’s a good thing for the low-level ones to catch up gradually. What I’m afraid of is to use the way of high-level ones to be pulled down to make up for this gap. Especially after CEPA, I’m afraid the incompatibility in the video world It has to disappear first.Shocking example, there is one in front of her, "She at the same table", her shaking hands and stomping her feet are clearly standard mainland actresses, and what is especially frightening is that she said in a correct voice: " Old classmate!" I hurriedly hid on the balcony to set off fireworks, but I couldn't help imitating her "old classmate" bitterly!The moment the fireworks were shining outside, I saw my face on the glass window, contorted and thoughtful, muttering "old school".
