Who knows the title The gangsters "America" blackmail their mothers who fool around all day

The protagonist of the story is a group of idle gangsters who drink, fight, dance, take drugs and make trouble every day. Their way to make money is to follow the candid photos, and then blackmail the "left-behind rich women" whose husbands work abroad and their wives cheat at home. This trick has been tried and tested, and the "underground work" of the gangsters is no less successful than the FBI.

One of them is called "America" because his father works in America. Their family is very rich, and his mother is unwilling to be lonely, and she associates with different men all day. "America" was very angry and decided to teach his mother a lesson. He instigated his accomplices to follow the candid camera and blackmail his mother, and he was successful. With this money, the gangsters went on vacation and sightseeing. Everyone sings and plays together. At this time, youth is sunny and resplendent-in sharp contrast to what they did before.

"America "'s mother was obviously frightened. Paradoxically, she went to church to pray and repent. She said to the church administrator, "I can donate at any time if you need it." Just then, a mother asked her for help, hoping that she could lend money to her son to help him do a small business, but she refused. However, she said that she could act as a guarantor and let her borrow usury to help her son sneak abroad to work. This is actually a trap. Borrowing usury is like getting stuck in a quagmire. In fact, the mother of "America" is good friends with the extortionate who lends usury.

"The Japanese are afraid of Fuqing, the British are afraid of Lianjiang, the Americans are afraid of Changle, and the whole world is afraid of Fujian!"

Slogans such as "Whoever smuggles will go to jail", "Combating illegal immigrants" and "Smuggling here will lead to a dead end" occasionally flashed in the film. In Fuqing, Changle and Pingtan areas, smuggling is common. Many men go abroad to work illegally, and some people don't go home for 1 or 2 years. A punk joked and said, "The Japanese are afraid of Fuqing, the British are afraid of Lianjiang, the Americans are afraid of Changle, and the whole world is afraid of Fujian!" " Seeing this, the British audience laughed-I believe our hearts are sour.

in fact, no one wants to leave their hometown. However, for ordinary people who have not received much education, if they want to get more wealth, the quickest and most straightforward way seems to be to work abroad. The fact is also there-so many "left-behind rich women" were born. Although desperate, as long as they can get out, their families will "raise their chickens and dogs to heaven."

So, Aaron, a "punk", decided to borrow money to go abroad through the snakehead. Although the family will be burdened with huge debts, Aaron's going abroad has brought them hope. Aaron's parents invited a troupe in the village to hold "Aaron goes to Britain to thank the folks", and Aaron's whole family took a group photo. Aaron and his sister said goodbye to the seaside where they played as children ... Aaron's sister also wanted to drop out of school to travel with her brother, and Aaron knew what it meant to go out, so he refused with righteous words.

After Aaron left, his good friend "America" filmed a short film with a video recorder and prepared to mail it to him. The short film records the streets and alleys of Aaron's hometown, the people at work and the gangsters' same lavish life as before, as well as their thoughts and blessings for him.

"I have a life, I have money to earn, just come back!" "

At the end of the film, Aaron was sent back to China after he arrived in Britain. He worked in a small fishing ground for a period of time, earning only 8 yuan a month, and his debt was more than 3, yuan. Helpless, he can only borrow money again and start the second smuggling.

The end is a telephone interview with a mother who can be recognized as Aaron. The mother stated on the phone that she hasn't heard from her son since the "morecambe Beach Incident" in England, and she still doesn't know whether his son was killed. But she wants her son to come back. Mother said, "I have a life, I have money to earn, just come back!" "

how many mothers are expecting the same? My tears are flowing ...

The English name of the movie is Fujian Blue, and one of the English meanings of blue is "depression, sadness". I feel such sadness.

The director explained that

The traditional Fujian people value their families, and they are a group of people with profound marine concepts.

in recent years, however, they have left their homes and flocked overseas like a flood. On the one hand, some of them went abroad and never came back, on the other hand, migrant workers from the mainland kept going to these coastal areas, which led to some chaos.

Young people pursue pleasure like moths to a fire, and middle-aged people are not to be outdone when they are looking for a life.

when you are sober, can you continue the drunken dream of last night?

This is a free film, absurd and true, quiet and crazy. The sadness after a hangover and the vanity after the pursuit, from the city to the countryside, from the land to the island, are mixed into a picture of the coastal areas of Fujian today.

Some traditional Fujian people have gone abroad and never come back, leaving their original families to be ignored. At the same time, migrant workers from the mainland are constantly coming.

It is through this "free film" that the director tells the stories of ordinary people from the city to the countryside and from the land to the island in the film language of "absurd and true, quiet and crazy", showing "the sadness after the hangover, the illusion after the pursuit" and "a mixed picture of the customs of the coastal areas of Fujian today".

Weng Shouming started filming this film with the theme of illegal immigrants smuggling three years ago. The reason for choosing this theme is that the traditional concepts and people's lifestyles in Fujian have changed. According to Weng Shouming, "traditional Fujian people value their families and are a group of people with profound marine concepts." However, with the continuous opening up of society, the drastic changes in the external environment have profoundly affected the traditional Fujian people's ideas, and some of them have left their homes and flocked overseas like a flood.

Some traditional Fujian people have gone abroad and never come back, leaving their original family members unattended. At the same time, migrant workers from the mainland are constantly going to these coastal developed areas to seek a happy life. "Young people pursue pleasure like moths to a fire, and middle-aged people are not to be outdone in finding a life", which leads to some social chaos.

It is through this "free film" that the director tells the stories of ordinary people from the city to the countryside and from the land to the island in the film language of "absurd and true, quiet and crazy", showing "the sadness after the hangover, the illusion after the pursuit" and "a mixed picture of the customs of the coastal areas of Fujian today".

"The film was shot in Pingtan Island, using a large number of local non-professional actors, which is close to life. The director's debut accurately and directly points out why so many local people take risks and are bent on smuggling abroad. Although the internal social and economic reasons will not be too surprising, the film brings the audience into the lives of a group of people who have never been told. "

A comment left by an overseas Fuqing person who saw this film

Many days' subscriptions have been collected on the fresh fruit. See Mr. Baudville mentioned Vancouver Film Festival, telling a vision from the East. He mentioned the Useless by Jia Zhangke, Detective by Du Qifeng, Mi Yang by Li Cangdong, and two mainland films that won the Dragon and Tiger Awards at Vancouver Film Festival. However, what really attracted interest and attention was a film called Fujian Blue. I intuitively told myself that it was a film related to Fujian. I can't remember where I saw this name before. It seems to be in Busan Film Festival or some earlier space, but I don't remember much.

ok, and then the omnipotent search. The film is called "Splendid and Splendid". I believe that most people who have stayed in Hangzhou know the origin of "Splendid and Splendid", which is about the "heaven and earth" in Beijing. Or the trace that the original Mirage was changed to Nan 'ao Harbor is more telling, and it also attracted the textual research madman to search South Australia, looking at the map of Fujian to Guangdong and the upper reaches of the Tropic of Cancer. Far away, in fact, before I saw more information and even the film, I really couldn't guess the name.

But all this can be Google. Mirage comes from "What if everything you ever want is just a mirage?" ; "South Australia Harbor" is simpler, that is, the story background, somewhere along the coast of Fujian; "resplendent", this, the irony of glamorous appearance and decadent inside? The introduction at the Vancouver Film Festival is even simpler: the film was shot in Pingtan Island, using a large number of local non-professional actors, which is close to life. The director's first film accurately and directly points out why so many local people take risks and are bent on smuggling abroad. Although the internal social and economic reasons will not be too surprising, the film brings the audience into the lives of a group of people who have never been told.

Regardless of the geographical location of "Nan 'ao Island", I am sure that the story background of "Splendid Flowers" is undoubtedly eastern Fujian. Because, as soon as I read the story, I understand that it was said that the smuggling in northern Fujian, such as Changle and Fuqing, was serious, which might not be enough to describe, so the word "terror" should be used. Men have fled the country, thinking about crossing the dangerous gate of death and rushing to the other side to make a fortune. Indeed, the money remitted back to China is grabbed one by one, while many young women who stay at home are lonely and can only use various means to satisfy their desires. For example, in this version, it is possible to use some taboo words and publish some attractive advertisements in newspapers such as the Straits XX. Well, I paid special attention to it at one stage, but I couldn't make a final judgment and marked it as "the version I know but I don't know if it is strict".

after all, eastern Fujian and southern Fujian are still very different (the same phenomenon includes western Fujian or northern Fujian). One side of the water and soil, the other side of the people, is not just a geographical barrier, language barriers. People in southern Fujian who want to go abroad and wander far away, from hundreds of years ago to before the reform and opening up, have actually gone about the same. Taiwan Province and Nanyang are all over Hong Kong to some extent. Therefore, in the face of the smuggling wind in eastern Fujian, they are a well-deserved phenomenon that makes all countries smell discolored. Later, there was a saying that "the Japanese are afraid of Fuqing, the British are afraid of Lianjiang, the Americans are afraid of Changle, and the whole world is afraid of Fujian" (The whole world fears Fujian! ）。

I've read the sad story of Fujian at some time, the general idea is to explore the origin of embarrassment from the terrain of Fujian, sandwiched between the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, and there is a Taiwan Province facing the strait. Behind it is the mountainous geographical conditions, the slow railway, no heavy industry in the early days, and a closed human environment. People along the coast of northern Fujian still try their best to go abroad as their ultimate goal. Not to mention the people who depend on the inland, the situation is not much better However, compared with the surrounding three provinces, there are actually fewer people in Fujian. The above part is just to illustrate a problem. When Jia Zhangke builds Fenyang alone, Chengdu, which is emphasized to have individuality, or even when more and more works are invested in "sensitive areas" such as Chongqing, how many works will be invested in Fujian, which is located in the southeast corner (calculate the location words of Xiamen such as Ning Hao's "Silver Rider"). In fact, the regional concept of film works is very simple, just as most provinces in the north have not been clearly mentioned, and more and more Hong Kong films are looking to China in the north. It is natural to set up paragraphs that appear in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, but it is absolutely rare to go to Fujian and Zhejiang. In other words, there are only people who run outside, and there is no real soil.

Only when rooted in this soil can there be endless feelings. Weng Shouming only uses a Fujian to string together the memories of all his works, even an emotion that has not yet become a real audience. When a person goes to the native land, he can easily think of Hou Hsiao-hsien as long as he doesn't involve words. Baudville also mentioned the inspiration of The Man from the Wind Cabinet to Weng Shouming (the evaluation of Dog Barking in the afternoon by Zhang Yuedong mentioned Jacques? Tati and otta? According to Auselli Arnie, but in the communication, Zhang did not know about them), the more conclusive information is that Weng Shouming is really pursuing HHH's long-term vision, scheduling and ideas. The judgments are all similar, the young protagonists who hang out together, indulgence, anxiety, and the boredom of choosing to be young, the hidden background, this side and that side of the strait.

After watching the director's Jasmine Bay a few years ago, the narrative interspersed between childhood and growing up may seem immature. Frequent switching, due to the image quality, some repetition, but a few scenes turn very well, and the echo before and after is quite careful. The implication is that it is appropriate to see the township church singing again, whether it is keen or exquisite.

Jasmine Bay didn't fully excite the energy either. On the one hand, it can't be borne by the short film in less than 2 minutes, and then it may not find a more suitable opportunity and handle it more safely? More is an emotional eruption based on personal experience, but the short film is a bit hasty. However, the reason why the short film is a short film, the faint breath and naive songs that remain, baked a theme, jasmine, bay, in the changed performance version. From people to things, and from things and people to all the land where they were born again, the subjective lens at the end showed all this completely.

the middle scene and the distant view are far apart, belonging to the alienation of not being able to see clearly the expression. Unique island scenery (Pingtan Island), unfamiliar and familiar hometown dialect (Pingtan dialect), if Weng Shouming uses Hakka dialect and Minnan dialect, the ending impression will once again prove that it is indeed closer to Tso-chi Chang. At the end of the film, virtually impossible life stages meet, which is called "fantasy" or "surrealism". The so-called emotion and imagination are beyond the reach of ballads or location. We can easily find the difference between Huai-en Chen and Tso-chi Chang by revisiting the old topic.

Finally, under the gossip, the young director looks very "Fujian". In 1982, it was really young. Vancouver Film Festival is a filmmaker who has not yet developed into a big climate. It is a long way to go, and I hope to continue to walk well.
