La période a connu un rétablis- sement économique et la consécration de plusieurs cinéastes dont la carrière est née durant les années 1990, sans compter la naissance d’une nouvelle génération d’auteurs. PERSISTANCE DE LA NOUVELLE VAGUE Notre sélection rend hommage à la créativité persistante des cinéastes de Hong Kong et au mariage improbable de deux tendances complémentaires : l’ambitieuse Nouvelle Vague artistique et le film d’action des années 1980. Bien qu’elle soit exclue de notre sélection, il est utile d’insister sur le fait que la production chinoise 20 ANS / FILMS KONG, HONG de cinéastes et de vedettes originaires de Hong Kong, tels que Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, Stephen Chow et Tsui Hark, continue à caracoler en tête du box-office chinois. Les deux films Journey to the West avec Stephen Chow (le deuxième réalisé par Tsui Hark) et La Sirène (avec Stephen Chow également) ont connu un immense succès en République Populaire. Ils n’auraient pas été possibles sans l’œuvre antérieure de leurs auteurs, sans la souplesse formelle qui caractérise le cinéma de Hong Kong. L’histoire et l’avenir de l’industrie hongkongaise se lit clairement dans la carrière d’un pionnier de la Nouvelle Vague, Tsui Hark, qui a rodé son savoir-faire en matière d’effets spéciaux d’arts martiaux dans ses premières productions télévisuelles et cinématographiques à Hong Kong durant les années 70 et 80.
  • The Departed Talent: Matt Damon, Leonardo Dicaprio, Jack Nicholson

    The Departed Talent: Matt Damon, Leonardo Dicaprio, Jack Nicholson

    The Departed Talent: Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Alec Baldwin, Vera Farmiga, Martin Sheen, Ray Winstone. Date of review: Thursday the 12th of October, 2006. Director: Martin Scorsese Classification: MA (15+) Duration: 152 minutes We rate it: Five stars. For any serious cinemagoer or lover of film as an art form, the arrival of a new film by Martin Scorsese is a reason to get very excited indeed. Scorsese has long been regarded as one of the greatest of America’s filmmakers; since the mid-1980s he has been regarded as one of the greatest filmmakers in the world, period. With landmark works like Taxi Driver (1976), Raging Bull (1980), Goodfellas (1990) and Bringing Out the Dead (1999) to his credit, Scorsese is a director for whom any actor will go the distance, and the casts the director manages to assemble for his every project are extraordinarily impressive. As a visualist Scorsese is a force to be reckoned with, and his soundtracks regularly become known as classic creations; his regular collaborators, including editor Thelma Schoonmaker and cinematographer Michael Ballhaus are the best in their respective fields. Paraphrasing all of this, one could justifiably describe Martin Scorsese as one of the most important and interesting directors on the face of the planet. The Departed, Scorsese’s newest film, is on one level a remake of a very successful Hong Kong action thriller from 2002 called Infernal Affairs. That film, written by Felix Chong and directed by Andrew Lau, set the box office on fire in Hong Kong and became a cult hit around the world.

    2018 3rd International Conference on Society Science and Economics Development (ICSSED 2018) ISBN: 978-1-60595-031-0 A Study on International Communication Strategies of Chinese-language Films Liang Dinga and Wenjing Zhangb No. 462, Heyan Road, Qixia District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Prov., China [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: Chinese-language Films, International Communication, Strategies. Abstract. Starting with the characteristics of Chinese-language films, this paper focuses on analyzing the international influence of Chinese-language films and the problems of their international communication, as well as explores the relative strategies in order to promote the international communication of Chinese-language films, and enhance their international influence at the same time. 1．Introduction The Chinese-language film is an important way to show the image of our country to the world and also spread Chinese culture, so as to improve the international understanding of Chinese culture. Since 20th century, Chinese-language films have gradually gone global wide and begun to spread abroad. Chinese-language films have the characteristics of being commercial, artistic, international and comprehensive, which has an important influence on the development of films around the world. However, in the process of international communication, Chinese-language films also face the problems of cultural and language barriers, insufficient use of international market, similar themes, imperfect international marketing and so forth, so that their international communication has not achieved the intended effect. In view of this situation, China actively explores the scientific approach to international communication of Chinese-language films with the purpose of strengthening their international influence.

Jason S. Polley, Vinton Poon, and Lian-Hee Wee, 87-104, Singapore: Palgrave Macmillan, 2018. Allegorical cinema as a rhetorical approach in Hong Kong new cinema studies1 becomes more urgent and apt when, in 2004, the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA) begins financing mainland Chinese-Hong Kong co-produced films.2 Ackbar Abbas’s discussion on “allegories of 1997” (1997, 24 and 16–62) stimulates studies on Happy Together (1997) (Tambling 2003), the Infernal Affairs trilogy (2002–2003) (Marchetti 2007), Fu Bo (2003), and Isabella (2006) (Lee 2009). While the “allegories of 1997” are well- discussed, post-handover allegories remain underexamined. In this essay, I focus on allegorical strategies in Ann Hui’s post-CEPA oeuvre and interpret them as an auteurish shift from examinations of local Hong Kong issues (2008–2011) to a more allegorical mode of narration. This, however, does not mean Hui’s pre-CEPA films are not allegorical or that Hui is the only Hong Kong filmmaker making allegorical films after CEPA. Critics have interpreted Hui’s films as allegorical critiques of local geopolitics since the beginning of her career, around the time of the Sino-British Joint Declaration in 1984 (Stokes and Hoover 1999, 181 and 347 note 25), when 1997 came and went (Yau 2007, 133), and when the Umbrella Movement took place in 2014 (Ho 2017).

    Contrasting "Infernal Affairs" Hong Kong and "The Departed" Hollywood By Prof. Dr. SZE, Man Hung, Stephen and SHEN, Yiting (Graduate Student) Dept. of Film and TV Production, Kushan University of Technology, Tainan County, Taiwan) (Abstract) Film noir is a classical genre of Hollywood. It has its own special elements of evolution and mode of manifestation. It has not been a genre that could be found in Hong Kong for a long time. This article begins with the tracing of the reasons for the lack of film noir in Hong Kong, and its gradual development till the advent of "Infernal Affairs"(2002), which was adopted by Hollywood and resulted in the adapted "The Departed"(2006). Although the basic structure of the plot in both films is based on the interaction and events faced by the two protagonists, and thus bringing out the predicament and helplessness of the two under-covers from both the police and the underworld, the two films are different because of the different socio-cultural contexts, the studio systems of production and the ideas of artistic creativity. After investigating the different approaches of P. 1 Hong Kong and Hollywood studio systems, this article will also then analyze and contrast the two films, binging out their different modes of manifestation, characteristics, character portrayal, cinematic ideas social and artistic values. It will account for the mutation of one text in the two different social and cultural contexts of film production and audience.

In recent years, there has been much research and theory on western film music, especially the Hollywood film industry, by musicologists and scholars in film studies, popular music studies, and other fields. However, there has been little research on Hong Kong Film music, the system of which is different from that of western film music, and therefore I will apply basic film music concepts, but using the real situation of Hong Kong film music to formulate my own argument. The methodology used in this thesis will include the application of basic concepts used by scholars of film music, such as the functions of music in film, combined with fieldwork and analysis of films.
