「香港電影史導論 Podcast第七集」討論大網 有關這系列的Podcast, 詳情請看這裡。 第七集「無線電視廣播的衝擊及『香港地』『香港人』意識的明顯出現」 討論大網： 1967年無線電視開始，到1970年代電視成了深入民心的娛樂和資信媒介。其後原本有線廣播的麗的也轉為無線廣播。香港電影也受到電視冒起的直接影響。電視上成功的節目被改編成電影，電視也成了電影人材的培訓地，成功的電視人紛紛被引進電影圈。電視上的戲劇節目和新聞節目也建立了一個清晰的香港人身份認同。以粵語作廣播的電視甚至幫助香港電影由國語主導轉變成粵語主導。香港電影也在1970年代完成了世代交替，上一輩編導多在1970年代退下火線，在香港成長的新一代影人紛紛接棒，單以電影界出身的，吳思遠、洪金寶、吳宇森都開始建立他們穩固的導演地位。新一代影人之外還有新的類型，功夫片、警匪片、黑幫片、賭千片等過去沒有的類型也在1970年代成型。 --------- Outline of Introduction to Hong Kong Film Industry Podcast Part 7 About this series of podcasts, please check here. Episode 7: “TVB's Impact on the Emergence of ‘Hong Kong' and the ‘Hong Konger' Identity" Television Broadcasting Limited (TVB) was founded in 1967 and had, by the 1970s, become a popular and influential entertainment and information program in Hong Kong. Even Hong Kong cinema was directly influenced by the rise of television. Television soon became a training ground for talent in the film industry: successful televisions were often adapted into movies, and it was common for successful television personnel to be introduced into the film industry. Television dramas and news programs also established a distinctive identity for the people of Hong Kong. Cantonese Television even helped shift Hong Kong Cinema's market from being a Mandarin-dominated market to being Cantonese-dominated. In the 1970s, Hong Kong cinema completed a generational transition, with the previous generation of directors and writers retiring from the scene and a new generation of filmmakers from Hong Kong taking over. Notable directors who emerged from this period include John Woo, Sammo Hung, and Tsui Hark, who all established themselves as leading figures in the industry. In addition to new filmmakers, new film genres such as martial arts films, crime films, gangster films, and gambling films also emerged in the 1970s, which had not been seen before. ****************** Follow the hosts: Kay Ho's Instagram: @kayho1430 Po Fung's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flash1030/ This episode is part of the "Preserve Yesterday - Back to Lee Theatre VR" project, which was a collaboration with the Hong Kong XR Museum.

「香港電影史導論 Podcast第六集」討論大網 有關這系列的Podcast, 詳情請看這裡。 第六集「嘉禾的出現及自由競爭下1970年代影業的興旺」 討論大網： 1970年開始時，擁有影城和院線，製作量龐大的邵氏兄弟公司好像一個絕不可能被打倒的影壇巨人，結果它卻製造出自己的強大敵人，那就是從邵氏公司的管理人員鄒文懷。鄒在邵氏因方逸華主政而離開組織嘉禾公司，它發掘了李小龍，承接了國泰公司的片廠，組織了院線，再由許冠文喜劇屢破票房紀錄。嘉禾由一家資金短絀的公司發展成足以與邵氏分庭抗禮的國際有名的大公司，並成為1980至1990香港電影的中流砥柱，可說是一個傳奇。除了嘉禾，1970年代在不同時期都有一些獨立電影公司在票房上創出佳績，為影業帶來新風，包括思遠、繽繽，這都與香港影業自由競爭脫不了干系。 在這第六集的podcast， 我們一共分開三節，在第三節，我們討論了以下內容：七十年代香港電影與台灣電影的關係如何？為何可以說是歷史上最緊密的時期？隨著粵語片停產，台灣電影進入香港市場，哪些作品受到了歡迎？許多台灣電影人來到香港註冊開公司，並在香港進行電影後期製作，原因是什麼？為什麼香港在這個年代的後期製作會受益於台灣電影的湧入？台灣電影在香港是如何沒落的？這與香港在自由氣氛下爆發的創作力有何關係？香港在自由的環境下，如何超越台灣影人的作品？ 「南下影人」在七十年代還有發展嗎？香港電影業界與外國（主要是美國）電影業界有哪些聯繫？雙方自六十年代開始交流後對香港電影製作有什麼影響？七十年代，不少片場倒閉，取而代之的是租借器材公司，例如沙龍，為什麼會出現這種現象？對電影業有什麼貢獻？--------- Outline of Introduction to Hong Kong Film Industry Podcast Part 6 About this series of podcasts, please check here. Episode 6: “The Emergence of Golden Harvest and the Flourishing of the Film Industry in the 1970s Under Free Competition" At the start of the 1970s, the Shaw Brothers Company, with its studios and cinema chains and a massive production volume, seemed like an invincible giant in the film industry. However, it created its formidable competitor: Raymond Chow, a former Shaw Brothers executive. Chow left the company due to disagreements with Mona Fong's management and founded Golden Harvest. Golden Harvest discovered Bruce Lee, took over Cathay Organization's studios, and established its cinema chain. The success of Michael Hui's comedies repeatedly broke box office records. Golden Harvest evolved from a financially struggling company into an internationally renowned giant capable of rivaling Shaw Brothers. It became a pillar of Hong Kong cinema from the 1980s to the 1990s, embodying a legendary success story. In addition to Golden Harvest, several independent film companies achieved significant box office success during the 1970s, bringing fresh ideas to the industry. These included companies like Seasonal Film Corporation and Bo Ho Film Company, which thrived due to the free competition in Hong Kong's film industry. In this sixth episode of the podcast, we divided our discussion into three segments. In the third segment, we covered the following topics:How were Hong Kong and Taiwanese films related in the 1970s, and why can this period be considered the closest in history?With the cessation of Cantonese films, Taiwanese films entered the Hong Kong market. Which works were well-received?Why did many Taiwanese filmmakers come to Hong Kong to register companies and conduct post-production work there? Why did Hong Kong's post-production industry benefit from the influx of Taiwanese films during this period?How did Taiwanese films decline in Hong Kong, and how is this related to the creative explosion in Hong Kong's free atmosphere? How did Hong Kong surpass Taiwanese filmmakers' works in a free environment?Did "Filmmakers from Mainland China" continue to develop in the 1970s?What connections existed between Hong Kong's film and foreign (mainly American) film industries? What impact did their interactions since the 1960s have on Hong Kong film production?In the 1970s, many film studios closed down and were replaced by equipment rental companies, such as Salon. Why did this phenomenon occur, and what contributions did it make to the film industry? ****************** Follow the hosts: Kay Ho's Instagram: @kayho1430 Po Fung's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flash1030/ This episode is part of the "Preserve Yesterday - Back to Lee Theatre VR" project, which was a collaboration with the Hong Kong XR Museum.

「香港電影史導論 Podcast第五集」討論大網 有關這系列的Podcast, 詳情請看這裡。 第五集「香港電影在1960年代的變遷」 討論大網： 1960年代的香港影業基本上延續1950年代，主要的導演和編劇都是1950年代初已入行的一批，創作觀念上改變不大。但1960年代香港的經濟已擺脫1950年代的貧困局面而進入小康。粵語片方面，類型也就由淒慘的文藝片逐漸轉向「小康之家式」中產小夫妻喜劇以至歌頌自食其力的「工廠妹萬歲」電影，也有關心下一代會否學壞的青春片，並由此出現陳寶珠、蕭芳芳的影迷熱潮。國語片方面，經濟成長也造就一種追求個性解放的心態，造就了張徹以陽剛為號召的武俠片，從而把香港電影以至中國電影的女明星主導的傳統徹底改變。 在這第五集的podcast， 我們一共分開三節，每節的主題如下： 5.1 60年代香港電影產業的總體特色、以及重點討論了三種粵語流行電影類型, 包括武俠片、小夫妻喜劇、青春歌舞電影。 5.2 60年代流行的張徹的國語武俠電影如何範式轉移影響日後的香港電影，另外我們也重點討論了楚原和龍剛的電影 5.3 60年代電影產業的一些特有現象，以及六七暴動和無線電視廣播對香港電影的影響，及至最後香港粵語片停產的原因。 Outline of Introduction to Hong Kong Film Industry Podcast Part 5 About this series of podcasts, please check here. Episode 5: “Changes in Hong Kong Cinema in the 1960s” The 1960s for the Hong Kong film industry was, for the most part, a continuation of the 1950s. Many key directors and screenwriters of the era had their origins rooted in the group that emerged in the 1950s; as such, creative theories in regard to filmmaking changed little during this time. However, during the 1960s, Hong Kong's economy had begun to break off from the economically impoverished state of the 1950s, entering instead into a relative period of prosperity. For Cantonese cinema, tragic art films were gradually replaced by “Family Style” middle-class and young family comedies. These films celebrated the self-supported “Factory Girl” and youth films that focused on the worry of a new generation that might be led astray. These gave rise to then-upcoming stars like Connie Chan Po-chu and Josephine Siao Fong-Fong, who had fervent film fanbases. As for Mandarin Films, their economic growth created an attitude of pursuing individual freedom, leading to Chang Cheh's use of Wuxia films to appeal to masculine audiences—completely changing the tradition of female movie stars dominating Hong Kong and even Chinese Cinema. In this fifth episode of the podcast, we have three segments, each focusing on the following topics; 5.1 The overall characteristics of the Hong Kong film industry in the 1960s, with a specific focus on discussing three popular Cantonese film genres, including martial arts films, romantic comedies featuring married couples, and youth musical films. 5.2 How the paradigm shift in popular Chang Cheh's Mandarin martial arts films of the 1960s influenced subsequent Hong Kong films. Additionally, there is a specific emphasis on discussing the films of directors Cheung Po Kin (Chu Yuan) and Lung Kong. 5.3 Some unique phenomena in the 1960s film industry, the impact of the six-seven riots and wireless TV broadcasting on Hong Kong cinema, and finally, the reasons for the cessation of Hong Kong Cantonese films. ****************** Follow the hosts: Kay Ho's Instagram: @kayho1430 Po Fung's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flash1030/ This episode is part of the "Preserve Yesterday - Back to Lee Theatre VR" project, which was a collaboration with the Hong Kong XR Museum.

Many key directors and screenwriters of the era had their origins rooted in the group that emerged in the 1950s; as such, creative theories in regard to filmmaking changed little during this time. However, during the 1960s, Hong Kong's economy had begun to break off from the economically impoverished state of the 1950s, entering instead into a relative period of prosperity. For Cantonese cinema, tragic art films were gradually replaced by “Family Style” middle-class and young family comedies. These films celebrated the self-supported “Factory Girl” and youth films that focused on the worry of a new generation that might be led astray. These gave rise to then-upcoming stars like Connie Chan Po-chu and Josephine Siao Fong-Fong, who had fervent film fanbases. As for Mandarin Films, their economic growth created an attitude of pursuing individual freedom, leading to Chang Cheh's use of Wuxia films to appeal to masculine audiences—completely changing the tradition of female movie stars dominating Hong Kong and even Chinese Cinema. In this fifth episode of the podcast, we have three segments, each focusing on the following topics; 5.1 The overall characteristics of the Hong Kong film industry in the 1960s, with a specific focus on discussing three popular Cantonese film genres, including martial arts films, romantic comedies featuring married couples, and youth musical films. 5.2 How the paradigm shift in popular Chang Cheh's Mandarin martial arts films of the 1960s influenced subsequent Hong Kong films. Additionally, there is a specific emphasis on discussing the films of directors Cheung Po Kin (Chu Yuan) and Lung Kong. 5.3 Some unique phenomena in the film industry of the 1960s, including the impact of the 1966-67 riots and the influence of wireless film broadcasting on Hong Kong cinema. ****************** Follow the hosts: Kay Ho's Instagram: @kayho1430 Po Fung's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flash1030/ This episode is part of the "Preserve Yesterday - Back to Lee Theatre VR" project, which was a collaboration with the Hong Kong XR Museum.

《3CM》(2019) 是其中一部在「銀幕·香港」香港Indie電影網上展放映的電影 (詳情：https://www.hkonscreen.org/indie-home）。《3CM》(2019)看似一個微不足道的距離，卻是結節性硬化症病人生死存亡的指標，影響他們能否得到合適的藥物。電影由兩位背景各異的病友媽媽的角度出發，走訪他們爭取生存權利和尊嚴的歷程，從而探討公共政策及社會公義等課題。《3CM》(2019)不只是罕見病病友的故事，也是香港人的故事。 「銀幕·香港 Podcast」在這一集邀請了《3CM》(2019)的導演黃肇邦一起討論了： 1. 為何導演揀選罕見病這個比較特別的題材？拍攝紀錄片的緣起是？ 2. 藥物政策、醫療倫理、公共衛生等議題都相對沉重而複雜，亦需要很多資訊才能令到一般觀眾理解，導演又如何平衡不同素材，同時可以牽動觀眾，令人想繼續觀看呢？ 3. 拍攝紀錄片就跟人生一樣無法預計，在剪輯過程中，遇到甚麼困難？如何選取、編排素材？ 4. 電影把焦點放在照顧者社群和他們爭取權益的歷程上，而不是集中描繪罕見病病友的嚴峻病況，為何會有這樣的安排？ 5. 紀錄片中被訪者都十分真誠和信任地講出心聲，導演是如何建立這份關係？ 6. 電影其中一個核心訊息是為自己發聲、嘗試帶出改變。我們看到片中被訪者如何發聲，那麼對導演來說，何謂發聲？ 7. 電影最後以一個對比鮮明的畫面作結，期望帶出甚麼訊息？ 8. 之前在香港本地放映，受疫情所限未必能接觸到很多觀眾，是次網上放映則可以接觸到海外觀眾，導演有甚麼看法？ 9. 可以透露一下接下來的電影項目嗎？ 3CM (2019) is one of the films featured in the HKOS Indie Film Online Showcase (for more info: https://www.hkonscreen.org/indie-home). Despite its seemingly insignificant distance, 3CM (2019) serves as a crucial marker of life and death for patients with tuberous sclerosis, impacting their ability to access the proper medication. The film takes the perspective of two mothers from diverse backgrounds who embark on a journey to fight for their right to survival and dignity, thereby exploring issues related to public policy and social justice. 3CM (2019) is not only a story of rare disease patients but also a story of the people of Hong Kong. In this episode, director Wong Siu-pong of 3CM (2019) joins the discussion to explore:Why did the director choose the relatively unique topic of rare diseases? What was the inspiration behind making this documentary?Issues like drug policies, medical ethics, and public health can be pretty heavy and complex, often requiring much information for the general audience to understand. How did the director balance the different materials to engage the audience and keep them interested?Filmmaking, like life, is unpredictable. During the editing process, what challenges did the director face, and how did they select and arrange the materials?The film focuses on the caregiver community and their journey to advocate for their rights rather than solely depicting the severe conditions of rare disease patients. What was the reasoning behind this approach?The interviewees in the documentary are very candid and trusting in sharing their thoughts. How did the director establish this rapport?One of the core messages of the film is about speaking up for oneself and trying to bring about change. We see how the interviewees in the movie do this, but for the director, what does "speaking up" mean?The film ends with a stark visual contrast. What message does the director hope to convey with this ending?Previously, the film was screened locally in Hong Kong, and due to the pandemic, it may not have reached many viewers. With online screening, it can reach an international audience. What are the director's thoughts on this?Could you give us a glimpse of the director's upcoming film projects? 嘉賓主持：阿紗 Guest Host: Ah-Sha Follow her @ https://www.instagram.com/hk.finger/ --- The Hong Kong On Screen Podcast is a podcast about Hong Kong Cinema.

Part 4: Left-Right Opposition and the Competition of the Two Titans In this fourth episode of the podcast, we have two segments, each focusing on the following topics; 4.1 The Rise and Fall of MP & GI 4.2 The Rise of Shaw Bros Outline: Mandarin Film Industry's Progress: From Left and Right Opposition to the Competition of Industry Titans “Shaw Bros” and “MP & GI” In the 1950s, Hong Kong's Mandarin Film Industry's right and left parties became increasingly diametrically opposed. Leftist companies like the “Great Wall Movie Enterprise” and “Phoenix Motion Enterprise” received support from the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party. While companies that appeared more rightist included “Hsin Hwa Motion Pictures” and “Asia Film Company.” Amongst them were companies that sought to enter and endear themselves to the Taiwanese market, including the “Shaw Bross” and “MP & GI” (also known as Cathay Organization). Although their political stances were seemingly oppositional, both sides had for a long period where few films openly displayed any political messages-- most movies filmed were commercial features focused foremost on entertainment. The superiority of Mandarin films gradually became clear through the abundant wealth and influence of Singaporean and Malaysian capital put into companies like “MP & GI” and “Shaw Brothers.” “MP & GI” use of modern and fashionable films were heavily praised. “Shaw Bros,” on the other hand, was at first less favorably received. Run Run Shaw later acquired a large amount of Singaporean capital to build theaters, produce colored films, raise the manufacturing quality of the industry, and successively established Huangmei Opera and Wuxia as two of the largest film trends. By the 1960s, these companies were superior within the Mandarin Film Market, and their impact and influence could also be seen in the Cantonese Film Market. ⭐4.2：The Rise of Shaw Bros⭐ In the fourth episode, the second section, we primarily discussed: What was the origin of the Shaw Bros Group?Regarding the Shaw Bros Cantonese film division, which important Cantonese-speaking stars were active in its early days? What were the significant Cantonese-language films?Why was Patricia Lam Fung jokingly called the "Queen of Gestures" early on?When did Shaw Bros. begin to make significant strides?Shaw Bros possessed a robust infrastructure (film studios, capital, market), significantly elevating the production quality of Hong Kong cinema. Unfortunately, they had weak creative capacity. How did they address this deficiency?What were the distinctive features of the Shaw Bros' films? What kind of ideal world did they portray?Li Han-Hsiang was a pivotal figure at Shaw Bros. Why did he eventually leave the studio?

[HKOS Podcast] 李小龍逝世50周年，香港歷史上第一部與美國主流要電影廠合資攝製的《龍爭虎鬥》在李小龍逝世後的一個月在全美上映，轟動一時，票房在當年排名13 （1973全年排名）。李小龍也是首位華人在荷里活電影裡面擔正第一男主角，更影響了整個功夫電影在世界電影史的發展和地位。 可惜，他生前看不到他的成就和影響，8月13日和8月16日，擁有《龍爭虎鬥》版的華納會舉行全美放映活動，上映的版本為全新4K修復版。請不要錯過可以在大銀幕看到一代巨星李小龍的遺作了。 「The Hong Kong On ScreenPodcast」在這一集特別邀請了香港電影專家Frank Djeng討論了： 為何美國會這麼重視這部電影呢？西方一致認為《猛龍過江》為李小龍最好的電影，但香港一般認為前三部都比這部好，為什麼呢？有說李小龍在設計武打時，刻意迎合西方觀眾，究竟什麼是迎合西方品味呢？有什麼片段被删呢？《猛龍過江》有什麼特別呢？李小龍最好的電影是什麼呢？ On the 50th anniversary of Bruce Lee's passing, the first Hong Kong film co-produced with a major American film studio, "Enter the Dragon," was released nationwide in the United States one month after his death, causing a sensation and ranking 13th in the box office for the year in 1973. Bruce Lee became the first Chinese actor to play the lead role in a Hollywood film, significantly influencing the development and status of martial arts films in world cinema history. Unfortunately, he couldn't witness his achievements and influence during his lifetime. On August 13th and August 16th, Warner Bros. owns the film "Enter the Dragon," which will hold nationwide screenings of the newly restored 4K version. Don't miss the opportunity to see the final work of the legendary Bruce Lee on the big screen. "The Hong Kong On Screen Podcast" in this episode has invited Hong Kong film expert Frank Djeng to discuss: Why does the United States value this film so much? While Western audiences generally regard "Enter the Dragon" as Bruce Lee's best film, Hong Kong audiences believe the first three films are better. Why is that? It's been said that Bruce Lee intentionally catered to Western audiences when designing martial arts choreography. What exactly constitutes catering to Western tastes? Which scenes were deleted? What makes "Enter the Dragon" special? What is Bruce Lee's best film? Follow the hosts: Kay Ho's Instagram: @kayho1430 --- The Hong Kong On Screen Podcast is a podcast about Hong Kong Cinema.

「香港電影史導論 Podcast第三集」討論大網 有關這系列的Podcast, 詳情請看這裡。 第三集：「中聯作為電影運動對粵語片的變革作用」 在這第三集的podcast， 我們一共分開五節，每節的主題如下：廈語片／ 潮語片的發展和特色 (Ep. 29)；中聯影業成立的原因和創作理念 (Ep. 30)；中聯的發展和其代表作 (Ep. 31)；中聯的影響和著名明星 (Ep. 32)；中聯如何令粵語戲曲片誕生(Ep. 33)。 討論大網： 香港影業除了政治的左右對壘，還有國粵語兩個相對獨的影壇，各有其特色和發展。其實香港除了有國粵語片之外，還有鮮為人知的廈語片及潮語片生產，出口多個東南亞有華僑的國家，其文化影響力遠比一般人所知為廣。 戰後粵語影壇的最大一件事情是中聯公司的成立。中聯雖是一家電影公司，但它實際上是一個左派電影運動，用以實踐一種由公司組織、意識形態和風格都高度統一的左派電影美學觀念。它對粵語片的影響非常深遠，除了衍生出多家理念上類似的影片公司，它對粵語片製作水平的提升、戲劇觀念的重視以及文藝片之成為類型主流，都有著重大貢獻，即使到六十年代後期中聯結束後，其影響仍然餘波未了。尤為特別的是它雖以「伶星分家」作標榜，它對粵語歌唱片轉化成戲曲片起著關鍵作用。了解中聯是理解1950-1960年代粵語片之鑰。 Outline of Introduction to Hong Kong Film Industry Podcast Part 3 About this series of podcasts, please check here. Part 3 The transformative role of Union Film Enterprises Ltd. in the formation of Cantonese films In this third episode of the podcast, we have five segments, each focusing on the following topics;The development and characteristics of lesser-known films in Hokkien and Teochew dialects (Ep. 29);The reasons for the establishment of Union Film Enterprises (Union) (中聯影業) and its creative philosophy (Ep. 30);The growth of Union and its representative works (Ep. 31);The influence of Union and its famous stars (Ep. 32);How Union contributed to the birth of Cantonese opera films (Ep. 33). Episodes Outline: Besides the political divide between left and right in the industry, Cantonese and Mandarin films gradually garnered traction and became two distinct and independent film markets. In addition to Mandarin and Cantonese films, Hong Kong was the production center of lesser-known films in the Hokkien and Teochew dialects. These films were exported to various Southeast Asian countries with Chinese diasporic communities. The cultural influence of Hong Kong's film industry was far from what we commonly imagined. One of the most significant achievements in the post-War Cantonese film industry was the establishment of the Union Film Enterprise Ltd (Union). Union was part of the leftist film movement despite being a film production company. It represented a filmmaking notion that attempted to unify the organizational structure, ideology, and aesthetic style of the company from a leftist perspective. As a result, it profoundly affected the production of Cantonese films in later eras. Beyond becoming the precursor of other film studios that shared similar ideological orientations, Union contributed significantly to improving the overall standard, emphasizing dramaturgical elements, and promoting arthouse films as a mainstream genre in Cantonese film production. Even after the demise of Union in the late 1960s, its impact was still evident in the industry. Specifically, while Union promoted the separation between Cantonese opera artists and pop movie stars, it nonetheless played a pivotal role in promoting the adaptation of Cantonese song records to opera films. Understanding the rise and fall of Union is the key to studying the development of Cantonese films during the 1950s to 1960s.

在這一集，很開心可以跟賈勝楓導演深度討論他的第一部劇情電影《流水落花》，導演是如何從文字說故事轉變以影像來說故事呢？從拍攝短片到製作長片的挑戰是什麼呢？對社會的關注、基層的關懷和寫實的風格是不是得到政府資助的秘訣呢？賈導演跟其他新導演的關係？導演跟編劇是如何塑造天美姨姨這個角色呢？7個小朋友的故事是如何豐富天美姨姨這個人物和影響她跟丈夫的關係呢？最難拍的是那一節呢？煙和其他食物在電影的有特殊意義嗎？ In this episode, I'm delighted to deeply discuss with Director Ka Sing-Fung his debut feature film "LOST LOVE." How did the director transition from telling stories through text to telling stories through visuals? What were the challenges of moving from making short films to a full-length feature? Did the focus on society, grassroots concerns, and realistic style contribute to government funding? What is the director's relationship with other emerging directors? How did the director and screenwriter shape the character of Aunt Tin Mei? How did the seven children's stories enrich Aunt Tin Mei's character and impact her marital relationship? Which scene was the most challenging to film? Do cigarettes and other food items hold special significance in the movie?

二次大戰結束，香港重光，中國則很快陷入國共內戰。儘管香港不受政權更替所影響，但是中國政治的變遷卻對香港影業有著間接但強大的影響。在戰爭時留滬的上海影人被視為漢奸而避禍香港。資本雄厚的永華公司也因香港局勢較穩而在香港建立。國共都想在香港發揮影響力，在鬥爭中造成左派右派兩大陣營，在冷戰階段構成香港影業的基本格局。 Following the end of World War Two, Hong Kong was liberated from the Japanese occupation while China was embroiled in the Chinese Civil War between the Kuomintang (KMT) government and forces of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Despite being unscathed by the regime changes, the shift in the Chinese political landscape had a determining but indirect influence on Hong Kong's film industry. During the Civil War, many Shanghai filmmakers sought refuge in Hong Kong because they were considered traitors to the regime. The well-capitalized company, Wing-Wah, also established its foundation in Hong Kong due to its relative political stability. During the Cold War, KMT and CCP tried to expand their reach to Hong Kong. The conflict between the two camps consolidated the leftist-rightist dichotomy as the basic structure of the Hong Kong film industry.
