kopiorgau Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 There was this movie on Life and Times of Ruan Ling Yu potrayed by Zhang Mun Yee. Couldn't find any copy on Ebay. Any bro. has one to dispose off please pm. Preferably with Chinese and English subtitles. Thank you.
kopiorgau Posted October 27, 2020 Author Posted October 27, 2020 Was told its titled "Center Stage" !
YANG Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 If u're getting from eBay, make sure that u get the remastered edition. The initial Fortune Star release very easy to rot one...
kopiorgau Posted October 27, 2020 Author Posted October 27, 2020 Thank you for the info. So the image you uploaded is the FORTUNE STAR. Will avoid that. The Bluray version with shipment from HK costs US$32/. Just too costly.
YANG Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Yep... That image upload is indeed a FortuneStar release. However, that, is a correct remasteredition. The first edition which is non lasting type, artwork features Maggie Cheung in stand up pose. And that's the one hv issues. Not the remastered one.
kopiorgau Posted October 28, 2020 Author Posted October 28, 2020 Thank you for the clarification of the different editions.
kopiorgau Posted October 28, 2020 Author Posted October 28, 2020 Bro. YANG, The movie Maggie Cheung "Center Stage" Tony Leung Kar Fai 1992 is about the Life of Ruan Ling Yu. Was there any earlier movie made in Black & White of Ruan Ling Yu's Life? I watched her movie "Goddess 神女 (1934) with English subtitles" a few days ago. She is a good actress going by the period of her time when Directors and movie stars were not well skilled. In some scenes comparison was made of Maggie Cheung who fell short . The other movie "Everlasting Regret 长恨歌" from the novel by Wang An Yi is it ,also about RUAN LING YU or is it a different story? Thank you.
YANG Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 長恨歌 is a totally different story that doesn't relates to 阮玲玉 but sets in the background of the old historical era of ShangHai, where RLY BIOGRAPHY was portrayed in that same period, same as 胭脂扣 which stars Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung, also directed by Stanley Kwan. I'm not so good at giving summary of movies as i tend to burst the spoilers where some members here doesn't like. However, if u wanna talk abt Everlasting Love, i think we better go to your previous track on that. For a Stanley Kwan fan like you, 阮玲玉，胭脂扣，長恨歌，紅玫瑰白玫瑰, these 4 periodic dramas u cannot miss...

Thank you very very much Bro. YANG. If I had not been curious and thick-skin to ask I would never know about those 4 movies by Stanley Kwan of similar genre. So far I have bought this 長恨歌 and will hae to wait till next year to watch. The other 3 will hunt for them. 阮玲玉 by Maggie Cheung is very costly and available in eBay HK. Once again thank you very much Bro. YANG! Realyy appreciate your generosity of time in sharing. Have a great week ahead!
YANG Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 I think @ 30+ dollars in eBay which includes shipping charges, it's a steal.
