This is a dialogue with the host in an exclusive interview with the host of the Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Chinese website.
The 51 -minute interview video was launched on Saturday (November 2), and immediately stirred up thousands of waves in the Hong Kong public opinion field. Some people praised Du Qifeng's remarks.Concerned, but some media also came out to speak out. Du Qifeng should not ride a film worker with political.Huo Qigang, the grandchildren of Hong Kong's late patriotic businessman Huo Yingdong and the Legislative Council member Huo Qigang even criticized, saying that Du Qifeng "should not sing Hong Kong on foreign media and make his remarks a 'knife' for others."
What exactly did Du Qifeng say?
Du Qifeng shared the recent situation at the beginning of the interview.He said: "Recently is the lowest tide in my life." The big director explained that this was the influence of the environment and said that he had a strong confidence in ideas and movies before, but "there will be a lot of in the past few yearsSuspect".
Du Qifeng went on to say that there is currently a movie that is being filmed, but the process is intermittent, and even questioning whether he is already Jiang Lang.From his tone, you can clearly feel a trace of helplessness.
However, when the host asked what environmental impact was affected, Du Qifeng did not answer positively, just laughed: "I guess you are more clear than me." For the host further, the relevant impact isWhen it was reflected in film creation or personal mood, Du Qifeng stated firmly that he has always insisted on filming in Hong Kong and emphasized that Hong Kong is important to him.
Du Qifeng said that he and Hong Kong now have no soul, saying that such cognition may be related to his values."Because the values are different, many things feel wrong. Is that to completely change my values? This is a big problem with me."
As for what the soul refers to?Du Qifeng did not hesitate to say that it was human rights and freedom, and at the same time, he said that the two things existed in Hong Kong, which he was familiar with before.
The Hong Kong Government will revoke the funding
Talking about the series of movie underworld directed, whether the third episode will be filmed, Du Qifeng revealed that the script was conceived as early as 2010, but it felt at the time that I felt at the time.Social climate is not suitable and shelved for various reasons.But he said, "The bridge section in the film really happened, and I don't talk about the details."
Du Qifeng also made it clear in an interview that if the third episode of the triad starts, it will definitely affect others, so he must consider it to be turned on and directed.The English film of the underworld is "Election", which is translated into Chinese is election.This film is often interpreted by the outside world as a hidden political metaphor.
Du Qifeng has won the best director in the Taiwan Golden Horse Award and the Hong Kong Golden Statue Award for the highest achievement on behalf of Chinese movies. The representative works include Alang's story.For decades, he has been shortlisted for the International Film Awards for decades, and is the only Hong Kong director who has been a review at the world's three major film festivals.
In Hong Kong media reports, Du Qifeng has always been labeled with "hot character" and "personality".However, in an exclusive interview with BBC, he talked about the "Fresh Inspur" International short film festival, which has been promoted in person and has been promoting for nearly 20 years. When he did not receive funding from the Hong Kong Art Development Bureau for the first time this year, his temper was significantly converged a lot.
"Five to six years ago, I already felt that it would appear ... If it was over, why bother entangled?" Du Qifeng also said: "If art development is a political thingLarge, any art development will have problems.
In addition to the "fresh wave", the IFVA independent short film and image media festival hosted by the Hong Kong Art Center has also been announced this year.In this regard, Du Qifeng bluntly said that "the government has no confidence on behalf of the government." He also questioned: "Will the government with confidence be like this?"
Tao: "They have always been very popular (activity), why should they be revoked?" When the words were turned, Du Qifeng even criticized the official activities that the official should be revoked, such as fireworks show.
He pointed out: "It is very prosperous to put some fireworks as Hong Kong, who do you lie? Grandma can't lie ... So I said that when these arts are everything, things in some society are completely politicalAt the end of the time, at the end of the interview, Du Qifeng acknowledged that he was more dare to speak in his peers or well -known directors in Hong Kong, and said that he believed in the Basic Law of Hong Kong.However, in the face of the host asking, "Do you still believe it now?", His face smiled and answered: "(I believe). The original (Basic Law)."

Soon after leaving the street, Du Qifeng's interview was reprinted and reported by many media in Hong Kong.Among them, the pro -Beijing Hong Kong Media Grand Daily News on Sunday (November 3) issued two short comments on Facebook's "Dagong Review", including the interview with Du Qifeng who criticized Du Qifeng as Du's fallacy, and questioned that Du Qifeng wanted to tellIt may be that "" Fat Fatty Li "can be used as a good prosperity in Hong Kong."Li Zhiying, the founder of Hong Kong One Media, is the nickname of "Fat Lee Li".
The Dagong also published a signature article on Monday (November 4) Du Qifeng, which should respect Hong Kong movies, saying that Du Qifeng said in an exclusive interview with BBC, which is really unswerving, especially Hong Kong todayThe dilemma of the production film is simply summarized into the so -called "political factors" and described as "losing the soul".The article criticizes that this is not fair for many filmmakers who are still working hard to create excellent films, and they are not good for the development of the Hong Kong film industry.
The article also said that in fact, Du Qifeng said that Hong Kong had no freedom of speech, which was really unreasonable, because he could accept the BBC interview, and he could publicly say that Hong Kong had no freedom of speech.Essence
Compared to a series of violent bombardment of the Dagong Pao, Huo Qigang's speech on Facebook was relatively converging.On Facebook, he pointed out that recently, there is a remark that the difficulties faced by the Hong Kong film industry are simply equal to political issues.Hong Kong has lost its soul. "
Huo Qigang described that this is undoubtedly a very selfish remark. It not only ignores the multiple factors behind the film industry's dilemma, but also wipe out the efforts of film talents.
Huo Qigang also wrote in the post: "These remarks are unfair and unfair to the industry that has been working silently.Hong Kong, make your speech a 'knife' for others, hurt the film workers who are along with Hong Kong.Known as "Eastern Hollywood" and bred Wu Yusen, Wang Jiawei, Du Qifeng and other unique and distinctive directors.However, with the changes in the market environment and the rise of film and television power in mainland China, Hong Kong films have begun to enter a downturn.
Many Hong Kong filmmakers have been in the north in the past 20 years to shoot movies with Lukang co -production model. However, due to the official review of the mainland, some comments believe that the creative ideas in traditional Hong Kong movies have greatly suffered greatly.limit.By 2020, the Hong Kong National Security Law was promulgated in Beijing, and Hong Kong's speech space was further tightened. Du Qifeng stopped from time to time during the visit, which was an example.
In addition to the Hong Kong National Security Law, the official also has a "red line" on film review.The Hong Kong Legislative Council passed the draft of the 2021 Film Inspection (revised) regulations in October 2021, stipulating that film inspectors must fully consider national security factors when reviewing the film.
At the same time, if the director of the Hong Kong Department of Administration believes that the release of some films is not conducive to China's national security, it can instruct the film inspection and supervision to withdraw a certificate of approval or a certificate of exemption on the film.The repair also imposed a heavier penalty for the film that was not exempted or approved.
What are the national security factors?How is it defined by China's national security?Some people in Hong Kong questioned at the time.Some opinions believe that because the regulations do not explain the objective standards, it is easy to cause self -examination and affect creative freedom.
Some Hong Kong netizens said that in the past three years, at least 10 movies have been considered to have political problems and cannot be released.
Back to Du Qifeng's "no soul" remarks, the Weibo video blogger "Little Shu" commented by the number of fans with more than 130,000 people says that Du Qifeng is concerned about the movieIf the workers lose their records and express their freedom, the film will be reduced to pure entertainment products, lack of insight and reflection on society, and cannot respond to the background and collective memory of the times.
Hong Kong movies are unique in the global film industry, but if compared with the glory of the 1990s, whether it is the portrayal of the content or the circulation, it has indeed been dull in recent years.
The Hong Kong photographed and imagined by Du Qifeng's generation was once the representative of the free soul of the Greater China. There are no taboos, letting go, and paying attention to high entertainment.What will happen to Hong Kong movies in the future?It is regular, full of positive energy, retain a little similar cunning and market well, and criticize some phenomena of society, but try to avoid politics and avoid sensitive areas?
