Golden Chicken S(金雞SSS) is a Hong Kong film released in 2014. It is a comedy film starring Sandra Ng (吳君如) and directed by Matt Chow (鄒凱光). They both are well- known as a comedy creators. It is the third episode of Golden Chicken. In this episode, Sandra Ng as Kam, an old postitute, she upgraded as a mother of the young postitutes to earn money in a new way and start the story to introduce the Yellow industry in Hong Kong. Kam has witnessed the highs and lows of Hong Kong. Nowadays she needs to take care about their clients on prostitution, she also need to take care all other clients' needs. It reflects the fact of Hong Kong's tertiary industry need to be more customized. The genre of the movie is comedy. It attracts audience at the same time turns a film into an idea easily communicated and summarised and marketable. Golden Chicken S as a comedy consist of specific systems of expectation and hypothesis. The audience hope to see something funny and sympathetic response to the situation of Kam faced. At the beginning, it started with how prostitutes were born from ancient till now. It makes use of the memory of Hong Kong people as Ip Man(葉問) performed by Donnie Yen(甄子丹) to joke with The Grand Master(一代宗師). Moved on from the prostitutes history, there are stories happened surrounded Kam. In order to raise the service quality to the clients, she leads her girls to Japan to learn to serve the clients. They met "Oral Sex Master- Takuya San(拓也哥), it is a memory of most Hong Kong people as he is well known as oral sex. Although it is a comedy, in the second half of the movie, it performed with a serious matter we all Hong Kong people facing. Wooloo (吳璐) performed by Ivana Wong (王菀之), tried her best to earn more money as she can. She came across with Mak Kei(麥基) performed by Ronald Cheng(鄭中基) starts a reflection. They both want to earn as much as they can, they gave up their self-esteem and dignity to make their client laugh. It helps to alert Hong Kong people about can Money make you sacrifice all your dignity. In the movie, it reflects lots of Hong Kong culture which happens recently around us. Such as quening fever (排隊潮), we tend to use a new way to earn money. In the movie, G-dragon as an example, it is also a trend which show Hong Kong people love K-Pop recent years. Moreover, demonstration about the politics matter. Although your heart isn't belong to the group you physically is, money make you walk betrayed your mind. All in all, Golden Chicken S connect most of the Hong Kong people, as there are collective memory are used in the shoots. It catches Hong Kong people hearts as we manage to grab as much money as we can just like Kam, Wooloo, Mak Kei in the movie. Although they are different, they tend to use their bodies to find their way out, but they have a clear mind as they want money badly. The movie make us to rethink how much we can sacrifice for our needs and wants, if betray our mind is a good way or not. Our Core Value shouldn't be threatened, we should do thing with our value.
