A ragged old man hid on a boat and reported that his shoes had been stolen, and when the police asked him, he replied, "The British stole my left shoe, and the Japanese stole my right shoe." ”
Hearing such words, will you think that the old man is crazy. But if you put him in Hong Kong in the 1970s and 1980s, his words seem to have some philosophical.
He was the famous Cantonese opera screenwriter Nanhai Shisanlang before the War of Resistance.
Nanhai Thirteen Lang, formerly known as Jiang Yujun, ranked thirteenth in his home. His grandfather started by selling tea, and by his father's generation, the Jiang family had become a well-known local wealthy merchant.
Thirteen Lang was gifted and intelligent from an early age, and later entered medical school. At a sorority, he fell in love with a Miss Qianjin, followed her to Shanghai, and two years later fell back, and the school expelled him. Because he was influenced by Cantonese opera since childhood, he was adopted by famous characters in the creation of a "Cold River Fishing snow", so it became a hit.
At his peak, Jusan could write three scripts at the same time, while the three people who recorded for him couldn't keep up with his rhythm. Later, he took in an apprentice named Tang Disheng, who was a famous screenwriter after the War of Resistance. The two sang and sang together, like a mountain flowing water.
Nanhai Thirteen Lang and Tang Disheng
However, Shi Sanlang finally "forced" Tang Disheng away and let him go to Hong Kong to become famous, and he knew that he could not teach Tang Disheng more.
After the War of Resistance, Thirteen Lang's life became more and more difficult, and he also went to the front line to support the War of Resistance.
Shi San Lang came to Hong Kong to make a living begging, and his former troupe owner Xue Laowu was enthusiastic about helping him, but he was completely mad.
After that, he was reunited with his apprentice Tang Disheng, a master and apprentice, one was a well-known screenwriter, the other was a beggar who fell into the street, and the impermanence of fate made people sigh.
The film is narrated in the third person. A storyteller who told the story of Nankai Thirteen Lang on the street at night caused a traffic jam and was taken into the police station, where someone deliberately attacked the police in order to listen to the story and was taken away with him.
In the prison, the prison guards listened intently.
And when the police asked him what his relationship was with Nanhai Shisanlang, he only replied lightly, "It's just a sloppy screenwriter telling the story of another sloppy screenwriter." ”
There are still plots in the movie, and they do not tell one by one what happened after Shi Sanlang met Tang Disheng, leaving everyone to look for it in the movie. Station B has a free version to watch.
