王沙、野峰遗作【电影(阿牛入城记) 】

王沙、野峰在新加坡娱乐天地、唱片界撞出一片天,过后还获得当年香港的导演罗马发现,罗致拍摄了两三部蛮叫好叫座香港的电影,讲述普罗民众在大城堡的际遇故事。其中邵氏電影「阿牛入城记The Crazy Bumpkins」更引起一阵轰动。「阿牛」片集不但在香港创下百万票房,更在东南亚一带打破李小龙的票房纪录。野峰也凭阿牛这个角色夺下1974第20届亚洲影展「优异滑稽男演员奖」,罗马更也将「优异喜剧策划导演奖」捧回家。羅馬、張揚合導的「阿牛入城记」以阿牛(野峰)這個大鄉里來到香港, 目睹香港低下層社會的光怪陸離, 有悲有喜,有血有淚。阿牛(野峰飾)生性戇直常常被人利用,周大叔(王沙飾)帶他做賭檔「睇水」,他以為是看著一桶水,大出洋相。阿牛做過很多工作,不時被壞份子利用,如幫人「捉黃雞」勒索、到城寨做「阿牛艷舞」等,但阿牛的天真純樸仍得到阿花的喜愛,反映傳統社會的善良信念:天無絕人之路。後來,阿牛到碼頭做苦力,工人罷工,他繼績工作,竟然被打,阿牛自衛釀成大騷動,被拉入獄。結局令人悲哀,卻反映編導的聰明之處,留下尾巴,讓關心阿牛命運的觀眾期待下集「阿牛出獄記」登場。取「阿牛」这个名字,本身就有他的含义所在。在大家的眼里,牛虽然笨,但是却是最勤快,最刻苦耐劳的。然而成天为了耕田而受尽日晒雨淋的牛大哥,永远也是在被主人利用,享受不到劳力换回来的成果。他只能默默耕耘,不会要取任何的回报,只求三餐温饱。这也就完全符合电影中主人翁的形象和性格。因此他不叫做「阿虎」,更不能取名叫或「阿龙」。 「The Crazy Bumpkins」is a bittersweet comedy about a simple hick who arrives in the big city to seek his fortune。It stars the popular Ya Fong as Ah Niu,who leaves his native village to live with an uncle in Hong Kong, not realizing he ...
