People are in the sea, laughing about the rivers and lakes - "Yafei and Yaki"

Yafei and Yaqi ( The Days of Being Dumb , directed by Ke Shouliang, 1992)

Watched it on Netflix, never watched it before, just a note. Online screenshots, in order to avoid watermarks, may not conform to the official size ratio of the video.

1. The subtitle is "The Wrong Days in the Underworld", playing the title of "Triads - The Inside Story" ( Triads - The Inside Story , 1989) directed by Huang Tailai; the English title is a mockery of Wong Kar-wai's "The True Story of A Fei" ( Days of Being Wild , 1990).

2. UFO entrepreneurial work. Co-edited by Ruan Shisheng, Ma Weihao, and Zhang Zhicheng, it is easy to talk and play some "homages" to the old movies, deconstruct the gangster genre, make jokes in the movie, the parts are interesting and the bad parts are not bad. It is a pioneer, but it is also Don't ask for deep meaning or emotion. Interspersed with the clips of Afiaki sitting on the sofa and talking to the audience on both sides, the reference is "90 Men and Women Love" ( When Harry Met Sally... , 1989)?

3. The "Slate Hotel" on Pottinger Street? I don't know if anyone has tried it? It turns out that there was an air-raid tunnel on Shiban Street. Can you still see the remains?

The scene of "The Lover's Friend" and the current street scene


"Afei and Aki"


4. I watched " Two of a Kind " (1993) directed by Chen Desen not long ago. Tony Leung lived in a tenement building on Wong Nai Chung Road. This play was also, but it happened to be on the other side of the conspicuous pedestrian ramp. The play is one left and one right. At that time, many units in these tenement buildings were vacant, so was it convenient to view the scene?


5. "The world is Guan Gong" and "Guan Gong's collection of beautiful ceremony", so crazy, hahaha, today's Internet tide often refers to "Public Relations" as "Guan Gong", which attracts people's gimmicks. In retrospect, Hong Kong-made films have always opened "Guan Gong" "The joke is even crazier, and there are both loyal and wicked people who have traveled through ancient times and modern times. As for "Guan Gong" Tang Zhenye's statement that Hong Kong can set up "believe in one's own party", it must not be filmed anymore. Also, after Tony Leung and Jacky Cheung were ordered by Guan Gong to abandon the corpse in the sea, Jacky Cheung wanted to say "people are in the rivers and lakes" but he said "people are in the sea", Tony Leung replied: "'people are in the sea' is a Song Dynasty", hahaha, somehow laughing I died, I almost really wanted to find Quan Song Ci, haha.

6. "International Cinema" (see 4)? Is it the one on Hook Lo Village Road, Kowloon City? I have never seen the original appearance, but it stayed in the light and shadow. At the time, Once Upon a Time in China II (1992) was showing, and it was dismantled shortly after.

7. Anita Yuen, who loves both men and women, is the predecessor of He's a Woman, She's a Man (1994) directed by Chen Kexin? Chen Kexin is the producer of "Ya Fei and Yaki", and Ruan Shisheng also participated in the screenwriting of "Golden Branch". I would like to know who is Tania Wong who plays the flight attendant.

8. In the 1980s, Tony Leung played a lot of characters who had a crush and could not be alone and melancholy. In the 1990s, the electric eyes were charming, and such obsessive male characters were handed over to Huang Zihua and Jacky Cheung beside him.
