[Edit this paragraph] Summary

Lin Ziying (Anita Yuen), a young fan disguised as a man, entered the music world. After many twists and turns, she finally married the gold medal producer Jiaming Gu (Leslie Cheung). Ying was nourished by Jiaming's love and career and won the award of the most popular male singer. At one time, she was at the forefront and it was difficult to ride a tiger. The gender truth is published indefinitely. Fang Yanmei (Anita Mui), the legendary and changeable superstar, is back in the Jianghu, but unexpectedly, she has feelings for Jiaming Gu and Lin Ziying at the same time.

Anita Mui plays Fang Yanmei, a singer who has faded out of the music scene. After traveling around the world, she set foot in Hong Kong again and met Lin Ziying, a new singer disguised as a man. They love each other, specious. Later, she also knew Lin Ziying's identity, but she was glad to know her, because she let her know that there are innocent white rabbits in this world. Finally, she picked up her bags again and went on with her life, crossing the state.

Comment on "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves 2"-Luxurious Gender Puzzlement1In 994, the romantic comedy "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" directed by Chen Kexin was very popular, earning 29 million yuan. Now, in addition to the original stars Leslie Cheung, Anita Yuen and Jordan chan, Anita Mui and Theresa L Solomonson have been added to the second episode, and Carina Lau has appeared in the last episode, and the cash man is stronger. Although the box office is hard to predict, this sequel was received at midnight and is a major Hong Kong film in the second half of the summer vacation.

"Golden Branches and Jade Leaves 2" is very luxurious and fashionable. It is simply magnificent, but it is very piled up. If you just want to see stars, beautiful houses and luxurious houses, beautiful pictures and fashionable gadgets, you will be at a loss and interesting. The plot is no longer the last episode of Cinderella rhapsody, but has become "wild" by the favored princess.

In the last episode, Anita Yuen is a girl from an old house in Kowloon City. She is a "fan shit" who worships singers. In order to get close to her idol, she disguised as a woman and took part in the rookie contest. In the sequel, she became a new idol in the music industry and moved into a mansion to live with composer Leslie Cheung. The interesting thing about this movie is that Anita Yuen gets carried away. Not only did he move Shicheng Department Store into his new house, but even his best friend Jordan chan moved here, which made Leslie Cheung very angry. She made a splash and insisted on raising Leslie Cheung. For Leslie Cheung, the award ceremony was both embarrassing and funny. Anita Yuen once succeeded, but he also moved on, igniting the same-sex fire with Anita Mui, the king of heaven, and infatuating with homosexuality. However, Leslie Cheung's love remains the same, and he is very great.

"Golden Branches and Jade Leaves 2" is more dramatic than the last episode, but the plot is more "dramatic" and incredible. In fact, Anita Yuen pretends to be a man, but she is obviously a woman. In the last episode, she was found to be a liar in a short time, but in the sequel, countless fans still thought she was a man, even Anita Mui thought she was a man, and the media who broke the news crazily couldn't see that she was a woman. It's really "well, ghosts eat tofu." Too many Hong Kong films ignore the minimum credibility. This film seems to want to shoot homosexuality, and there are many gay men and women. At the same time, I want to cater to the mainstream heterosexual audience and kill two birds with one stone. This may be effective in the market, but it is inevitably too kitsch, too awkward and too embarrassing.

Are the three main characters gay or not? It's really confusing. I can only say that this film is full of "identity mystery" and "gender complex". I always want everything, but I don't know what I really want. Perhaps it represents some Hong Kong-style confusion at present. Jordan chan and Theresa L Solomonson are a more interesting couple. Anita Mui's style is very good. The most attractive Carina Lau is a guest appearance.

[Edit this paragraph] Behind the scenes tidbits

After the box office success of Golden Branches and Jade Leaves, Chen Kexin's favorite Meng Fanfan was a fiasco. Until 1996. After completing "Four 32A and a Banana Boy", UFO officially ended its self-funded film production, joined Jiahe Company and filmed with Jiahe Fund, which was actually an acquisition. Jiahe took the opportunity to ask for the filming of Golden Branches and Jade Leaves 2, but Chen Kexin rejected directing this sequel, but offered an exchange, asking Jiahe to let him shoot his own small-scale literary film Sweet Honey (Maggie Cheung version Sun Li version). Due to time constraints, the film was divided into three groups, with a film crew led by Chen Kexin, Ceng Zhiwei and Leslie Cheung.

After the last episode, Lin Ziying disguised as a man entered the music scene. After many twists and turns, she finally married the producer Jiaming Gu. However, Fang Yanmei, the ever-changing superstar, reappeared in the Jianghu. She was once spirited and sexy, which fascinated Ying, but Jia Ming found that the woman in front of her was once a one-night stand opponent. Ying couldn't help admiring the elder and knowing that she was guilty, but she recalled this experience. When the three of them are together, she doesn't know who she loves. Who loves who? ! In terms of gimmicks, "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves 2" naturally extends the "gay" route to the "lesbian" route, but after all, it is the product of commercial operation, and the theme mining is obviously not as good as the previous episode. Fortunately, it is a work of UFO blood after all. Seeing "Fang Yanmei" on the big screen, I muttered to myself: Unfortunately, I am Fang Yanmei, not Anita Mui ... Maybe many successful people will have some feelings. Of course, measured by the standards of ordinary commercial films, Golden Branches and Jade Leaves 2 has more stars, better stories and, of course, more "golden harvest".

It is also a limited edition DVD produced and sold by CINEFIL IMAGICA. The cover design is in the same strain as the previous work, and the style has changed greatly. Leslie Cheung and Anita Yuen occupy most of the covers, and the visual effect of the layout is good, but they lack the impact of the previous works. What's more regrettable is that the Japanese version of this episode is an edited version, so the market version actually includes the full version released by Meiya in Hong Kong. Menu making is a standard American-Asian "pseudo-dynamic" interface, which is not creative or technical. The sound and painting effect can only be said to be average, although the clarity is passable, but the color layering is not enough, and there are even partial colors in rich places. Among the three tracks, Cantonese has DD5. 1 and DD2.0, while Mandarin only has DD2.0. In actual play, some paragraphs are slightly noisy, about a few seconds. Although it does not affect the viewing, it is also a small flaw. In terms of tidbits, Meiya's early DVD works have always been two examples of movie archives and trailers, with pure text information such as story summary and behind-the-scenes information. The market version contains the original CD of this episode, and the audibility is not lost to the previous one. In addition, please note that the English name of Jinye is he's a woman she's a man, but the name of Jinye 2 has been changed to who's the man who's the woman, which is worth pondering.
