1994年最耀眼的影视文化事件之一,乃是各方人士突然热衷于那个向“流氓和妓女”(昔日被看作“海派文化”消极面)一侧倾斜的旧上海。手法各异,但一方面用那层小市民可能有兴趣的表面情节,另一方面则用另一层小市民可能会同情的深层情调,来取得票房和评奖的双丰收,则是异中之同。如何解析这一文化现象,如何解构这类作品,成为鉴赏这类影视的一种准备状态,也是避免再一轮“影视大撞车”,新的陈词滥调泛滥的必要工作。 One of the most dazzling film and television events in 1994 was the sudden enthusiasm of people from all walks of life to the old Shanghai that slanted toward the side of “gangsters and prostitutes” (formerly known as the “negative side of Shanghai culture”). There are different ways of doing things. However, on the one hand, the double plot of box office receipts and the receipt of double awards on the other hand may be based on the plot that may be of interest to those ordinary citizens. On the other hand, they may use the deep sentiments that other members of the public may sympathize with. How to interpret this cultural phenomenon and how to deconstruct these works has become a readiness to appreciate these kinds of films and movies, and it is also a necessary task to avoid another round of movie and television crashes and new clichés.
