From 1971 to 1973, because of the emergence of Bruce Lee, Jiahe successively produced films such as "Tangshan Big Brother", "Jingwumen", "Raptor Across the River" and other films, which achieved box office sales, and the film also went abroad and went to Hollywood.
The rise of Jiahe broke the situation of the Shao family's dominance in one fell swoop.
At that time, Shao Shi did not have the name of "four major directors", but still had a strong momentum with Zhang Che's martial arts films and Li Hanxiang's fengyue films.
In 1974, Li Hanxiang directed the Wind Moon film "Sound and Color Dog and Horse".
"Sound and color dogs and horses, day and night absurdity, national economy and people's livelihood, reckless thoughts." Sound color dog horse is also known as "sound color dog horse", which refers to the entertainment method of the old era.
As the name suggests, the content of the film floats above the title.
Directed by Li Hanxiang and starring Xu Guanwen, Bai Xiaoman, Hu Jin, Gu Feng and Zhang Chong, "Sound and Color Dog Horse" is divided into three parts: "Sound", "Color" and "Dog Horse", typical of the three-part style.
Among them, Xu Guanwen plays a triangle alone, and the story runs through the whole story through the gossip chat of the three sisters and six wives in the mahjong hall, and the film also revolves around a "deception" word.
Chapter 1: "Sound"
The story begins with a row of night scenes of the streets full of finches.
In the bird's house, the noise is noisy, and both novices and finch fans try their luck at night.
The mouths of the three sisters and six wives began to talk in the streets and alleys, and the first role played by Xu Guanwen, Jie Meifang, appeared.
Jie Meifang prides herself on being a celebrity, he is a film critic and a horse critic, although he plays between light and shadow and the arena every day, he is actually not so glorious.
He even went to the small video studio to see the video tapes that were inappropriate for children, but he did not pay for tickets.
The words "Produced by Yan's family, must be salty" next to the screen are quite eye-catching.
Li Hanxiang was too naughty and forcefully spat on the opening words of each Shaw film: "Shaw's production must be a good film."
Jie Meifang's behavior is grote grotesquely, writing film reviews and randomly commenting on horse tips, but she can't hide from Hu Jin's teasing and is tragically teased.
Despite his self-proclaimed "film critic," he didn't even know about The Last Tango in Paris and Marlon Brando.
"The Last Tango in Hong Kong", Li Hanxiang can really play.
Jie Meifang is teased by Hu Jin, and the first story is "sound".
Chapter 2: "Color"
Xu Guanwen's second role is the famous doctor Wu Xinjian, who is plain and simple, looks like a decent gentleman, but in fact, he is everywhere in the flowers and grass, and even his wife is not at ease with him.
Because he showed mercy everywhere, he was set up by Yu Juanjuan, a patient played by Bai Xiaoman, to "immortal jump", and colluded with big dogs and bears and beards to blackmail.
It turned out that his wife was also behind the scenes, and as a result, Wu Renren's wealth was empty.
The price of stealing incense is too great, and the second story is about the scam of "color".
Chapter 3: "Inuyasha"
Xu Guanwen's third role is "Jiang Lang", Jiang Lang is exhausted, Jiang Lang 's "wealth" is exhausted, because he has squandered the boss's forty thousand pieces in the Macau casino, afraid of being hunted down and killed, he can only leave.
Qian Donkey is poor in skill, and people are as famous as their names, and the veritable "Jiang Lang is exhausted".
One of Li Hanxiang's masterpieces of "Sound and Color Dog Horse", like its previous works "Affair Affair" and "Yile Ye", tells the funny things that happen to people in pursuit of entertainment.
In the mouth of the three sisters and six wives of the Queguan, Xu Guanwen wandered in the strange world.
Several small stories, the script is very simple, seemingly loose, but a variety of characters, rich in details, so that the story is happy but not obscene, full of cautionary meaning.
Li Hanxiang's film can win the award is indeed not covered.
It is precisely because of the success of "Sound and Color Dog Horse" to tell the story of "deception", so there was Cheng Gang's "The Great Deception of the King of Gamblers" in 1976, which set a precedent for the later "God of Gamblers" series of films.
The most worth mentioning is that the heroine of this film, Bai Xiaoman, formerly known as Hu Ruimei, is a mixed-race child of Chinese and American descent, and her bold appearance in the film makes her popularity overshadow her predecessors Hu Jin and TianNi for a while, ushering in the peak of her career.
Because of this film, Bai Xiaoman was praised by Run Run Shaw as a future emperor superstar, and he was also designated as an actress in the costume production "Falling into the City" and "Yingtai Weeping Blood". Even in the new film with warner in the United States, it also specially arranged a role for her. But before the film could be released, he committed suicide at the age of nineteen.
The reason for Bai Xiaoman's suicide is inconclusive, and it is still confusing, she was only 18 years old when she died, and it was only two or three years after leaving the campus.
But it is such a short experience that has become a legendary anecdote, which is rare in the Hong Kong film circle and even in the world film circle.
The debut film also became the last work, and a new star that was focused on cultivation fell.
Sound and color dogs and horses, lingering, perhaps, it is this strange world of sound and color that kills this seed.
