Govt prepares for Typhoon Koinu


With Typhoon Koinu approaching Hong Kong, Acting Secretary for Security Michael Cheuk chaired an interdepartmental meeting this afternoon to co-ordinate preparatory work and faciltate prompt responses to the storm’s onset.

 

Representatives from 14 bureaus and departments attended the meeting. They were briefed by a Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) representative on the latest assessment of Koinu and reported on their respective precautionary measures and contingency plans.

 

The Government said departments had made good preparations to cope with any adverse conditions and will closely monitor high-risk locations to facilitate prompt responses. Information will also be disseminated to the public as soon as possible.

 

Participants also reviewed lessons from the challenges posed by Super Typhoon Saola and the low pressure associated with the remnant of Tropical Cyclone Haikui in late August and early September. Contingency plans were prepared following assessments of those weather events.

 

The Security Bureau (SB) will, as in the past, activate the Emergency Monitoring & Support Centre before the Gale or Storm Signal No. 8 is issued in order to co-ordinate efforts and resource deployment across various departments.

 

Representatives attending the interdepartmental meeting came from the SB, the Development Bureau, the Transport & Logistics Bureau, the Buildings Department, the Civil Engineering & Development Department, the Drainage Services Department, the Fire Services Department, the Home Affairs Department, the HKO, Police, the Highways Department, the Information Services Department, the Marine Department and the Transport Department.

瓊瑤在中國:從90年代的青春愛情,到網路迷因吐槽表情包 | 過去24小時 | 轉角國際 udn Global

2024/12/05 轉角24小時 瓊瑤作品改編的電視劇在華語地區大受歡迎,許多場戲的截圖畫面也成為網路迷因。 圖/網路迷因 【2024. 12. 5 中國】 瓊瑤在中國:從90年代的青春愛情,到網路迷因吐槽表情包 「我已經『翩然』的去了!」瓊瑤離世後,哀悼之聲不只是在台灣,更席捲了中國——瓊瑤小說改編拍攝的電視劇,以《還珠格格》為首,年年暑假都在電視台重播,伴隨了1990年代之後出生的一整代中國人成長;更有多位明星是出演瓊瑤電視劇而走紅,例如瓊瑤電視劇轉向與中國的影視公司合製之後,瓊瑤挑選出的趙薇、秦嵐等中國「瓊女郎」。雖然近年瓊瑤愛情故事中的許多價值觀被重新檢視、抨擊,但所引起的共鳴也側面顯示出了瓊瑤透過文字和影劇,在華文世界所遺留的巨大影響力。 瓊瑤之名,在台灣、在中國,等同就是言情小說的代名詞,而除了文字之外,她筆下如夢似幻、浪漫至上的愛情故事,更是透過電影和電視,在數以億計的觀眾面前一遍又一遍的播放,而其影響力就更加深遠,在空間上跨越台灣海峽,征服中國的巨大土地,甚至擴及到東南亞;而在時間上,更是橫跨數十年。 除了小說作家之外,瓊瑤的身分還有編劇、影視製作人、華語歌曲作詞人。寫作言情小說讓她一炮而紅,並與她的丈夫、當時的編輯平鑫濤相識相愛,而她的小說也被改編為電影,當中處女作《窗外》1973年由林青霞、秦漢出演的版本大紅大紫,更讓平鑫濤發現並決定把握小說改編影視的巨大商機與潛力——從此之後,瓊瑤小說在出版之時,也同步思考如何影視化。 到1986年秦漢、劉雪華主演的《幾度夕陽紅》電視劇大獲成功之後,瓊瑤作品影視化的「例行道路」就轉到了電視劇,瓊瑤的愛情世界就這樣透過家家戶戶的小螢幕深入人心、席捲了一個世代又一個世代的流行文化。 瓊瑤之名,在台灣、在中國,等同就是言情小說的代名詞,以作品陪伴讀者數十年。 圖/微博、瓊瑤Facebook 最一開始,瓊瑤影劇在台灣製作,瓊瑤捧紅了無數個螢幕中容貌精緻、楚楚可憐的「瓊女郎」——影后林青霞就是以《窗外》出道從而成為巨星,還有劉雪華、歸亞蕾、岳翎、陳德容等等著名女星,都是出演瓊瑤作品而踏入演藝圈,而成為瓊瑤作品的女主角,也幾乎等於了走紅的保證。 瓊瑤總是親自挑選扮演她腦海中女主角的「瓊女郎」,這些瓊女郎有個共同點,就是有一雙漂亮的眼睛,尤其哭起來要美、要動人、要我見猶憐,最好眼淚看起來像晶瑩的珍珠一樣——例如演哭戲時一顆顆淚珠啪嗒啪嗒落下的劉雪華。 電視劇拍著拍著,便轉向了觀眾更廣大、製作規模也更龐大的中國,瓊瑤電視劇開始與中國的影視公司合製拍片,當中最著名的就是1998年首播的《還珠格格》,而瓊瑤也在中國選出了一名又一名的瓊女郎,這些瓊女郎自然也都有著靈動的雙眼——像是眨著一雙大眼睛的「小燕子」趙薇。而瓊瑤所重視的哭戲,當中的代表便是「知畫」秦嵐——瓊瑤曾經如此讚譽:「秦嵐一滴淚,天上一顆星」。 瓊瑤電視劇的男主角,也在熱播的當年,成為萬千少女的夢中情人,他們浪漫、激情、不懼世俗眼光、勇敢陪著女主角對抗社會禮教體制——當然還有,他們有一張英俊的面孔。秦漢、劉德凱、古巨基、蘇有朋、黃曉明等人,都為瓊瑤(還有她的讀者)演繹出了這夢幻男主角的形象,而其中最具代表性、最深入人心的,就是馬景濤,他在劇中為愛情而痛苦咆哮的模樣,也是瓊瑤電視劇的一大代表畫面。 在中國,《湖南衛視》等電視台,年年都在重播瓊瑤電視劇,必不可少的就是《還珠格格》,因此對1990年代之後出生的一整代中國人來說,暑假的記憶總是有著小燕子的胡鬧、紫薇的笑靨、五阿哥的溫文儒雅,還有爾康嘶吼著:「紫薇!!」 《還珠格格》男主角之一福爾康(中國演員周杰飾演)。 圖/《還珠格格》 數十年的時光沖不淡瓊瑤電視劇的影響力,她的知名作品還持續在中國翻拍新版,例如2007年的《又見一簾幽夢》和2011年的《新還珠格格》。而2013年的《湖南衛視》電視劇《宮鎖連城》,更因劇情與瓊瑤的《梅花烙》高度相似,瓊瑤在2014年向廣電總局舉報抄襲、次年提告《湖南衛視》和製作人于正,2017年中國法院判決《宮鎖連城》永久禁播。另外,越南也曾在沒有取得授權的情況下,偷偷翻拍了《還珠格格》,足見瓊瑤愛情故事大紅大紫的程度。 為讓電視劇更深入人心的,自然還有配樂,而瓊瑤也為自己作品的電視劇,填了主題曲的歌詞,2018年台灣組合動力火車去中國參加《我是歌手》節目時,便唱過《還珠格格》主題曲〈當〉,勾起全場觀眾回憶和熱烈掌聲,而歌詞中「讓我們紅塵作伴,活得瀟瀟灑灑」這一句也是瓊瑤對生命的追求與期盼,同樣出現在她的遺書中。 瓊瑤寫下的故事在作品出世的年代,對當時的社會來說極具突破、新穎而動人,作品中傳達的價值觀、主角的言行舉止,在當年看來就可謂驚人。用現在的眼光來看,也很驚人,而且驚嚇。 瓊瑤劇熱播至今,不過如今和電視劇本身一樣能夠引發廣大迴響的,還有對劇情的吐槽——中國觀眾對《還珠格格》的劇情倒背如流,在中國網路輿論,就時不時出現對角色的批評(加上剪出的片段或截圖為證),例如指出小燕子無論如何仍是搶了紫薇的皇女身分、個性蠻橫又無理取鬧、令妃瞎說與乾隆根本沒血緣關係的小燕子長得像乾隆等等,而劇情裡反派的皇后與容嬤嬤,則被稱為「劇中唯二的正常人」。 到《新還珠格格》播出,許多人重新看了一遍小時候看過的劇情,才驚覺「我看了什麼?」而對《還珠格格》的吐槽,也就迎來一波高峰。當時中國的小說平台,例如晉江,還有不少人創作以瓊瑤劇中角色「重生」為主題的小說,藉此向原作中看不下去的劇情一吐怨氣。 瓊瑤電視劇中最具代表性、最深入人心的男主角,就是馬景濤。 圖/《水雲間》 馬景濤在劇中為愛情而痛苦咆哮的模樣,也是瓊瑤電視劇的一大代表畫面。 圖/網路迷因 時代向前,而瓊瑤的作品一直在,依然熱播,但是觀眾對劇情和角色的感受卻截然不同了——過去的深情男主角馬景濤,變成了迷因「咆哮帝」。馬景濤本人也知道自己讓觀眾印象最深刻的,就是咆哮的場景,在瓊瑤離世之後,他手寫給瓊瑤的追悼信上,就寫著: 「在青青河邊草上,這一生穿越浩瀚星河的咆哮,是我們對您最深情的呼喚與永不止息的愛。」 許多歌頌愛情價值的台詞也同樣成了搞笑迷因,例如《又見一簾幽夢》裡面的一句「那時候的你,只不過是失了一條腿,紫菱呢,失去的是她的愛情啊!」廣為人知,成為另類經典。甚至扮演被這句話指責的角色「綠萍」的秦嵐,在2018年因清宮劇《延禧攻略》(不是瓊瑤出品,但是抄襲瓊瑤的于正出品)而再次爆紅的時候,記者也拿過這句話來訪問她:「你覺得腿和愛情哪個重要?」(秦嵐回應,當然是腿。)
