As long as it is a classic, it is worth remembering and reminiscing, it is said that "like the new and dislike the old", but in fact, it is an instinct to like the new, and nostalgia is a kind of feeling and virtue! Just like so many people will turn out Bruce Lee movies and watch them over and over again, for the simple reason, nostalgia! When I saw the film "Ghost Horse Double Star", I couldn't help but think back to the past!
The movie was seen in a rural commissary, and I remember that it was a hot summer, a group of people gathered around a TV set, although I couldn't understand what it meant, but the laughter of the whole commissary could be heard ten meters away! Many, many years later, I opened the computer to relive the classics, read the storyline, but did not have the taste of childhood!
TV can often see the classic nostalgia channel, every time in the student holidays, you can sit down and seriously taste the past movies, that is a kind of happiness, compared to the busy life now, there is no time to taste to appreciate, after all, there are still many things that need to be completed, family chores have long been busy forgetting life, so nostalgia is really a virtue!
The film "Ghost Horse Double Star" can be said to have epoch-making significance for the Hong Kong film industry, and now when it comes to the king of comedy, who will you think of? Zhou Xingchi Xingye, Wang Jing and other people have filmed a series of funny works, but when it comes to the originator of the king of comedy, it is really inseparable from one person, this person is Xu Guanwen!
The three brothers of the Xu family, Hui Guanwen, Hui Guanjie and Hui Guanying, which one is not a big name in the Hong Kong film industry! Before Xu Guanwen, comedy movies have not yet reached even the entry level of performance, just a mixture of several paragraphs, such as Xu Guanwen starring Li Hanxiang's movie "The Great Warlord" is a typical! Several stories stitched together to form a movie, it feels like watching a lot of funny clips.
There is no taste, this kind of movie is a film that is biased towards light comedy, and this kind of comedy is set off with a joyful atmosphere! However, the budding comedy movie "The Great Warlord" of that year still sold well, and also made Xu Guanwen stand out from this movie and become the father of the future king of comedy!
The next year, Xu Guanwen, who became famous, became a director, directing and shooting classic comedies such as "Ghost Horse Double Star"! It's not so tedious, it's like breaking a pattern and creating a new world of comedy! Jiahe was in a precarious position because of Bruce Lee's violent death, but Xu Guanwen's shot saved Jiahe's fate!
Released in pure Cantonese in 1974, the film broke the box office record for all Of Bruce Lee's films with a performance of HK$6.25 million, ushering in a new era of comedy films! It can be said that the turn of this movie has made Xu Guanwen accumulate full confidence on the road of comedy! Thus began his path as king of comedy!
Since the beginning of this movie, Xu Guanwen began to speak Cantonese, integrated into Cantonese culture, and the song of the same name has become the theme song of Xu Guanwen! Although this movie can also see the prototype of Li Hanxiang's film, but the selection of this movie is very good, listing the most common things in Hong Kong life, with the combination of this language and various actions, more and more ghostly, more and more nonsense, making this movie stand out in many movies, it is really a good movie!
This style of his began to be imitated by various heroes in the 80s! For example, Huang Baiming's "Happy Ghost" series of movies, small-cost movies have gained a lot of fans, until the 90s, comedy movies have appeared such a trend, he is Stephen Chow! I believe that Star Ye's movie needless to say, has become an eternal classic, not one, but the entire series!
It can be said that on the road of the development of the entire comedy film, Xu Guanwen can definitely be said to be the king of the king of comedy, just like Wu Yusen's hero film and Zhang Che's martial arts film! These are all originator-like figures, unshakable! Therefore, the movie is not such a simple thing, it is a symbol of the times, which can make people reminisce about that era!
