Jing Wong talks about immigration.

The world is just where you stay, and the Milky Way is where your soul wanders.

The world is just an invisible dream, an accidental dream, an earthly dream …

Dream a silver dream and be a lover.

-Alex Law's "Love Letter to the Filmmaker"

1987, which was called the year of Chow Yun Fat by the Hong Kong film circle.

That year, five films were shown in Chow Yun Fat, including hero films, prison films, literary films and even ghost films.

His personal annual box office is about 200 million, and 1987 box office is 200 million, which is amazing!

Among them, The Fairy Tale in Autumn, co-produced with Cherie Chung, won 25 million box office and became the highest literary film in Hong Kong.

Before Fairy Tales in Autumn, Chow Yun Fat was called "poison hair", and literary films have always been an unspeakable pain for Fage.

Until he met Zhang Wanting and Alex Law.

At that time, Zhang Wanting and Alex Law were also new directors in the circle. They wanted to shoot the story of "Hong Kong people in new york", but they didn't invest.

Debao Film Company is their last straw.

Debao has Cen Jianxun.

Curly has always been strange and proud. Zhang Wanting didn't even look up when he handed me the script, but as soon as Zhang Wanting got out of the office and got on the bus, he called and decided to invest.

The film only gave Chow Yun Fat 200,000 yuan.

In the same year, The True Color of Heroes was released, and the excellent cooperation between Leslie Cheung and Chow Yun Fat was unparalleled in the world, and the film became a hit.

The value of Chow Yun Fat soared, and Zhang Wanting was worried that things would change. She telephoned Chow Yun Fat in fear and trembling.

Zhang Wanting immediately set off for new york to prepare for the call, while Chow Yun Fat overcame all difficulties and stepped off the plane from the entanglement of various forces.

Mark, sexy and wild Cherie Chung and handsome son Danny Chan spent three happy weeks in new york, filming during the day and chatting, drinking and cooking hairy crabs in the room at night.

When the film was released, Alex Law's script was solid and warm, and Zhang Wanting's technique was delicate and unique. What they filmed was the feeling of drifting in a foreign land. People drifted like duckweeds in other places, always trying to catch something, but it was difficult to sustain.

A 33-year-old man can also perform the affectation of his first love and be swayed by considerations of gain and loss, and a sexy and charming woman can also wash away the lead and dress simply and unpretentiously, but Danny Chan, an expensive constantly chauffeured man, can be so confident that he can play this role to the core.

It was the best time in Hong Kong. We went through Cherie Chung, Chow Yun Fat, Leslie Cheung and Danny Chan, which was also the most chaotic period in Hong Kong. On the set of Autumn Fairy Tales, the black society stared at Chow Yun Fat's schedule every day, and Zhang Wanting shouted "card", which was booed at the scene:

Fairy Tales in Autumn won Chow Yun Fat the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, while Cherie Chung was shortlisted for both the Golden Horse Award and the Academy Award.

At the same time, he was also the winner of best film, best screenwriter and best photography in the 7th Hong Kong Film Awards.

Chow Yun Fat also met his wife Chen Huilian in the autumn of that year and wrote a fairy tale all his life.

On July 2nd, Alex Law suddenly felt uncomfortable at home. He called an ambulance to the hospital, but died in a hurry on the way at the age of 69.

He and Zhang Wanting walked hand in hand for half their lives, but they never got married.

I've always wanted to write about this pair of "Bonnie and Clyde", but it's been delayed until now. Ok, let's send Alex Law the last journey with stories.

The experiences of Alex Law and Zhang Wanting represent a pragmatic generation. They are well educated, immersed in eastern and western cultures, and deeply feel the collision and separation. They are the generation that created Hong Kong's glory and witnessed history. Now, the old people are gone one by one, and their memories are like duckweed ...

Alex Law's family background can be seen in Time Thief.

Alex Law has the habit of keeping a diary since he was a child. The Thief of the Years is almost adapted from Alex Law's diary, and many highlights are the restoration of real life details.

Zhang Wanting's family is much more complicated.

According to Zhang Wanting's account, her grandfather's first wife only gave birth to two daughters. Because of the preference for boys, grandpa married his second wife and gave birth to 20 children in one breath. Her father is 19.

How a person gives birth to 20 children is unknown.

We only know the originally wealthy families, because these children have become tottering.

Besides, Grandpa smoked opium, and when he found Zhang Wanting's father, his money had almost run out.

Zhang Wanting's mother, a Vietnamese Chinese, was once very rich. During World War II, she was regarded as a cash cow by the local government. Zhang Wanting's grandparents were killed, and her mother and her brother fled to Hongkong.

At sea, they were caught in a storm, and all the gold they carried with them turned into a dark seabed. When they went ashore, they were penniless.

My mother later married Zhang's father, who was a policeman, and gave birth.

Studying in a girls' school, there are children from Wang Chuanbao's family among my classmates.

The school atmosphere is very good. The girls in Bao's family were picked up by a driver, but they asked to get off and walk three blocks away from the school because they didn't want to be different from their classmates.

Zhang Wanting has been a top student since he was a child. When she was in middle school, her father died of overwork because she had to work several jobs. Her mother took over the burden of the family and made plastic flowers at home from morning till night to support Zhang Wanting to go to school.

Look, plastic flowers have made the richest man Li Man Li Ka-shing and the famous director Zhang Wanting.

Zhang Wanting was admitted to HKU University, and Alex Law graduated from HKU University.

In college, she thought learning was too easy, so she watched a lot of movies and had the idea of learning movies.

65438-0975, Zhang Wanting was admitted to the University of Bristol in England to study creative media.

She works part-time in Britain and works as a production assistant in BBC.

Later, Zhang Wanting was admitted to new york University to study as a director. The tuition is so expensive that she doesn't even dare to add eggs to her sandwich.

There, she met another Hong Kong classmate, Alex Law, whose experience was similar to her own.

1983, Zhang Wanting met another noble man.

It was an ordinary photographic equipment exhibition, and Zhang Wanting explained it to a Hongkong lady.

Her confident attitude and excellent professional knowledge soon won the favor of women.

After the exhibition, the lady offered that if Zhang Wanting wanted to make a film, she might help.

This lady is Fang Yihua.

That year, she just joined the board of directors of Shaw Pictures, and she did have resources.

1984, Zhang Wanting returned to Hong Kong to prepare his graduation work.

Holding several drafts of Alex Law in her hand, she managed to invest 654.38 million yuan+00,000 yuan from Fang Yihua, who is famous for her meanness, to shoot her directorial debut, Illegal Immigrants.

The screenwriter was Alex Law, and later was Le Yiling, who was very popular in TVB. Teacher le was still a rookie at that time, and he was a teacher.

The prototype of this film is the real experience of Zhang Wanting and Alex Law abroad and the people around him. Zhang Wanting even used them to appear in movies. Gangdom is a gangster, and illegal immigration is also true. Everyone plays himself.

His work was a blockbuster, winning 5 million box office and the Golden Award for Best Director.

Fang Yihua smiled from ear to ear and signed five Zhang Wanting films in one breath.

Since then, Zhang Wanting has officially entered the trade, and migration and drifting are the lifelong labels of Zhang Wanting and Alex Law.

Due to their respective family backgrounds and Alex Law, they are pessimistic and meticulous, and think twice before doing anything. His scriptwriting skills are profound, and his love touches people's hearts.

On the other hand, Zhang Wanting is more flexible and mobile, and will never stop until it reaches its goal.

They agree that marriage is a cliche, so they love each other all their lives, but they don't get married.

1998, Zhang Wanting's "city of glass" was released, with 32-year-old Dawn as a Hong Kong student and 22-year-old Shu Qi as a verse.

The story happened on the campus of the University of Hong Kong, and there were roses under Shu Qi's dining table.

An aspirin can keep roses bright and beautiful for a week.

The most classic line in the movie: My lifeline, career line and emotional line are all made up of your name. ...

The story happened in the late 1970s, and a couple later got married, because the situation in different parts of the world changed.

Twenty years later, before the return of 1997, they met again and died in a car accident together a few hours later.

This is a work wrapped in a love story, but it tries to express some demands.

Zhang Wanting and Alex Law have been photographing themselves all their lives, photographing themselves in different periods.

Their lives are closely related to the rise and fall of Hong Kong, and their academic qualifications and experiences just represent the past feelings and glory of that generation.

Also in 1997, Zhang Wanting filmed the Song Dynasty.

She and Alex Law spent five or six years preparing for this work. They interviewed all the people who were related to the incident and could visit, and filmed the stories of the three sisters of the Song family with a rigorous attitude.

The Song sisters, one loves money, the other loves the country, and the other loves rights.

One married a rich chaebol, one married a revolutionary and one married a dictator with military power.

Yang Ziqiong and Vivian Wu, plus Jiang Wen's father Charlie Song, Jin Yanling's mother and Sun Wen of Zhao Wenxuan.

This lineup is strong enough to dream.

Alex Law emphasized all his life that an old genius is the best screenwriter.

When it comes to thieves, this sentence becomes a line:

Yam Tat-wah, Jackie Chan, Cherie Chung, Zheng Yuling and many other stars are remembering Alex Law, but Jing Wong's words are the most touching.

In my impression, Jing Wong has always been a short and fat man without a proper position. Looking back, Stephen Chow and Tony Leung Chiu Wai are 60 years old and Jing Wong is 67 years old.

With the departure of that generation of filmmakers and musicians, our connection with Hong Kong is getting weaker and weaker after all.

Say goodbye to the times I was obsessed with …
