CASHING in Benshan Media Group 20 LIFE | Film Thursday, March 22, 2018 CHINA DAILY HONG KONG EDITION Black Panther clings to lead, close to record LOS ANGELES — Digging in its claws, Black Panther has clung to its box­office lead for a fifth straight weekend, taking in an estimated $27 million in North American theaters while fending off two new films, website Exhibitor Rela­ tions said on Sunday.

  • CONTEMPORARY RE-WRITING of MADAME WHITE SNAKE By
    PARODY AND NOSTALGIA: CONTEMPORARY RE-WRITING OF MADAME WHITE SNAKE by VICKIE WAI KI YAU B.A., The University of British Columbia, 2003 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Asian Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) MAY 2008 © VICKIE WAI KI YAU, 2008. ii ABSTRACT Between 1950s and 1990s, Hong Kong had a frenzy for writing and re-writing materials from classical literature and myths. The myth of Madame White Snake is one of the most well known stories that survived a long period of time. The earliest known version of Madame White Snake was a supernatural story in 1550, which later became a prototype of numerous subsequent versions starting in 1624. This prototype was repeatedly re-written throughout history and was also made into different genres including plays, playlets, novels, films and television dramas. One of the latest versions was written by Li Pikwah, a popular novelist in Hong Kong, in 1993, titled, Green Snake. Green Snake is a parody of Madame White Snake written from the perspective of Little Green, the servant of Madame White and an auxiliary figure in the tradition. The novel is also an autobiography of Little Green, who satirically criticizes the story of Madame White Snake in retrospect. Little Green’s autobiography is a nostalgic reflection of the past as well as a critique of the structure of the story that has survived throughout history. These implications made in the story hint at the author’s personal yearning for traditional China as a Chinese resident in Hong Kong.

Besides crafting screenplays, Cha also wrote film reviews under the various guises of Xiao Zijia, Lin Zichang, Yao Fulan, Yao Jiayi.1 His reviews included Great Wall productions, even those penned by himself as Lin. Looking at these articles today, we see that they serve not only as precious autobiographical insights into Cha’s life as a screenwriter, but they also hold significant referential values. This text will be examining Cha’s reflections on films published in Ta Kung Pao, in an attempt to piece together Cha’s creative impulse and defining character, from his time as a screenwriter that carried onto his later literary works as Jin Yong in the wuxia genre. Lin Huan’s first screenplay was The Peerless Beauty (1953), a film directed by Li Pingqian. Before its premiere, Cha released an article in the evening edition of Ta Kung Pao, The New Evening Post. Titled ‘Regarding The Peerless Beauty’ under his pseudonym Lin, he mentioned the xiqu and dramas that were themed around the story of Lord Xinling and Lady Yu before the emergence of the film version.

    BAMcinématek and the Taipei Cultural Center of TECO in New York present All Hail the King: The Films of King Hu, a 15-film tribute to the Chinese cinematic titan, Jun 6—17 “An extravagantly talented visual stylist with a gift for illuminating the borderland where myth, history, magic, faith, heroism, and regret intertwine.”—Bruce Bennett, The New York Sun Features a sidebar of films revealing Hu’s own influences and those influenced by his legacy 14 films in 35mm! The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/May 5, 2014—From Friday, June 6 through Tuesday, June 17, BAMcinématek presents All Hail the King: The Films of King Hu, a 15-film tribute to the Chinese cinematic titan. Master of the martial arts movie, King Hu revolutionized the wuxia/swordplay film, introducing a refined sense of aesthetics, attention to mise-en-scène, and an aura of mysticism to the genre that was borne out of his lifelong love for Chinese opera. With his unique blend of stoic, iconic heroes, realistic violence, and dance-styled fight choreography, Hu’s style influenced decades of subsequent Asian cinema, modernizing the wuxia in the same way that Sam Peckinpah and Sergio Leone changed the Western. The series includes nine features by Hu alongside a globe- spanning sidebar of films that both influenced and paid homage to him, with many screening in rare and imported 35mm prints from around the world. All Hail the King is programmed by Andrew Chan and Nellie Killian and presented in conjunction with the Taipei Cultural Center of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York.
