15 | “Go Shopping Every Day” is not the team's first production. | Tsy vokatra voalohany nataon'ny ekipa ny “Mandeha Miantsena Isan'andro”. |
16 | Their first video, “Chan Ho Nam, the Teacher”, makes use of a popular movie to ridicule Hong Kong police for their abusive use of force. | Nampiasa lahatsary iray malaza ny lahatsarin-dry zareo voalohany, “Chan Ho Nam, ilay Mpampianatra”, mba hanebahana ireo mpitandro filaminana ao Hong Kong amin'ny fampiasana herisetra diso tafahoatra ataony. |
17 | Screen capture from YouTube video “Chan Hoi Nam, the Teacher”. | Diakasary avy tamin'ny lahatsary tamin'ny YouTube “Chan Hoi Nam, ilay Mpampianatra”. |
18 | The idea for that short film came from a conversation during a shopping protest in Mong Kok, Ah Tin explained: | Niainga tamin'ny resadresaka nifanaovana nandritra ny hetsi-panoherana fiantsenàna tao Mong Kok ny hevitra hanao iny horonantsary fohy iny, hoy i Ah Tin nanazava : |
19 | One day we went to Mong Kok together to go shopping. | Indray andro, nandeha niaraka tany Mong Kok izahay mba hiantsena. |
20 | We chatted about a scene in the movie “Young and Dangerous'”, in which the main character Chan Ho Nam [who is a heroic gangster] acts as teacher in a school. | Niresaka momba ny zavatra nitranga tao anatin'ilay horonantsary “Tanora ary Mahery setra'” izahay, izay i Chan Ho Nam, mpilalao fototra [izay jiolahy raindahiny be herim-po] no milalao toeran'ilay mpampianatra ao aminà sekoly iray. |
21 | It dawned on us that we could adapt the story and change gangster Cha Ho Nam into a police officer. | Nitsiry tao aminay ny hoe afaka amboarinay ilay tantara ary ovaina ho mpitandro filaminana ilay mpisetrasetra Cha Ho Nam. |
22 | So we recruited people and made our first film. | Dia nanakarama olona izahay ary namokatra ny horonantsarinay voalohany. |
23 | Netizens and HKAPA students took part in making the teacher film. | Nandray anjara tamin'ny fanaovana ilay horonantsarinà mpampianatra ireo mpisera amin'ny Aterineto sy ireo mpianatry ny HKAPA. |
24 | Ah Sau introduced Ah Wah, who is an APA graduate, to the team, and Ah Wah became one of the actors. | Nampahafantarin'i Ah Sau an'ny ekipa i Ah Wah, izay nahazo diploama tamin'ny APA, ary dia lasa iray amin'ireo mpilalao sarimihetsika i Ah Wah. |
25 | The three of them have been working together since then, and each has his own role. | Nanomboka itamin'izay dia naraka niasa izy telo, ary samy manana ny anjara asany ny tsirairay. |
26 | Ah Tin is responsible for behind the scenes planning. | Ah Tin no tompon'andraikitry ny fikarakaràna ny ivelan'ny sehatra. |
27 | Ah Wah acts and Ah Sau covers everything else on and off camera. | Ah Wah dia mpilalao, Ah Sau no misahana ny hafa rehetra anatiny sy ivelan'ny fanodinana sy fakàna an-tsary. |
28 | “Go Shopping Every Day” captures the Hong Kong public's resentment towards police's excessive use of force, and it quickly became a big hit, with nearly 700,000 views to date. | Mandika ny fihetsehampon'ireo vahoakan'i Hong Kong manoloana ny fampiasan-kery diso tafahoatra ataon'ny mpitandro filaminana ny “Mandeha Miantsena Isan'andro”, ary veivety dia lasa nalaza izy io, efa manana mpijery miisa 700.000 hatramin'izao. |
29 | The music video is actually a by-product of the first video as netizens spotted Ah Wah singing the catchy line of the chorus of the Shopping Revolution theme song written by netizens from Hong Kong Golden Forum and urged him to perform the whole piece. | Raha ny marina, ilay rakikira an-tsary dia nalaina tamin'ilay lahatsary voalohany nanehoan'ireo mpisera amin'ny aterineto an'i Ah Wah nihira ilay fiverenana manintona amin'ilay hiran'ny Revolisiôna Fiantsenàna, nosoratan'ireo mpisera amin'ny aterineto avy ao amin'ny Hong Kong Golden Forum, ary namporisika azy hanohy hilalao azy manontolo. |
30 | They never expected the retro music video to become so popular. | Tsy noeritreretin'izy ireo mihitsy ho lasa malaza be ilay rakikira tranainy. |
31 | Ah Wah saw this as fate: | Lahatra no fahitàn'i Ah Wah azy io: |
32 | Since we are into it already, we hope we can continue to make films and to employ black humor to record what's happening in our time. | Satria efa tafiditra ao izahay, manantena izahay fa ho afaka hanohy hanao horonantsary, ary hampiasa hatsikana ankolaka mba hampisehoana ny zavatra mitranga amin'izao fotoanantsika izao. |
33 | Mocking Jer has started producing its third video, which will also challenge police brutality. | Nanomboka namokatra ny lahatsariny fahatelo ny Mocking Jer, izay hifanandrina ihany koa amin'ny habibian'ny mpitandro filaminana. |
34 | Ah Wah believes a humorous approach can help people understand better what's happening in society. | Mino i Ah Wah fa hanampy ireo olona hahatakatra bebe kokoa ny zavatra mitranga amin'ny fiarahamonina ny fampiasàna ny hatsikana. |
35 | Even though Mocking Jer's videos are amusing and funny, they clearly criticize the police authority and spread the idea of gau wu - a form of protest in which participants “go shopping”, which police view as “unlawful assembly”. | Na dia mampihomehy sy mahatsikaiky aza ireo lahatsarin'ny Mocking Jer, mitsikera mazava tsara ny fahefan'ny mpitandro ny filaminana izy ireny, ary manaparitaka ny fotokevitra mandeha miantsena - endrika hetsi-panoherana iray izay “mandeha miantsena” ireo mpandray anjara, izay hitan'ny mpitandro ny filaminana ho “famoriam-bahoaka tsy ara-dalàna”. |
36 | Did Mocking Jer feel any political pressure? | Nahatsapa faneriterena ara-pôlitika ve ny Mocking Jer? |
37 | Ah Wah said they were anticipating political persecution, but would continue to press their luck and keep on with what they are doing. | Nilaza i Ah Wah fa efa niomanany ny faneriterena ara-pôlitika, fa hanohy hitsapa ny vintany hatrany izy ireo, ary hanohy ny zavatra ataony. |
38 | He admitted that he was a bit nervous when they performed on the streets of Mong Kok for the first time during the video shoot because there were many police and police cars around them. | Niaiky izy fa somary nikorotan-tsaina ihany tamin'ny nilalaovany voalohany teny an-dalambe tao Mong Kok, nandritra ny fandraketana an-tsary, satria feno mpitandro filaminana sy fiaranà mpitandro filaminana nanodidina azy ireo. |
39 | Ah Wah stressed: | Nanipika izao i Ah Wah: |
40 | We do not want to impose anything on the audience. | Tsy tia hanery ny mpijery na amin'inona na inona izahay. |
41 | We only want to show what's happening in our society and to help Hong Kong people understand what's happening. | Te-hampiseho fotsiny ny zavatra mitranga amin'ny fiarahamoninay fotsiny izahay, ary hanampy ireo vahoakan'i Hong Kong hahatakatra ny zavatra mitranga. |
42 | I remember reading a post which left me with a deep impression. | Tsaroako aho namaky lahatsoratra iray, izay namela fihetseham-po lalina tamiko. |
43 | It says: The most terrible people are those who live in a parallel universe [without sharing a common understanding of the reality of society]. | Izao no voalaza ao: Ireo olona miaina ao anaty tontolo mifanila no tena olona mahatahotra indrindra [tsy mitovy fijery amin'ny rehetra ny zavatra iainana marina amin'ny fiarahamonina]. |
44 | All three of Mocking Jer's videos are about the Umbrella Movement. When asked if they only make films on politics, Ah Wah said that ideas about their films come from what is happening in Hong Kong society: | Mikasika ny Hetsika Elo avokoa ireo lahatsary telon'ny Mocking Jer. Raha nanontaniana izy ireo hoe resaka pôlitika ihany ve no horonantsary ataony, nilaza i Ah Wah fa miainga avy amin'ny zavatra mitranga amin'ny fiarahamonina ao Hong Kong ireo hevitra amin'ireny horonantsary ireny: |
45 | Since September 28 [when the police fired tear gas on peaceful protesters] the whole society of Hong Kong has changed. | Hatry ny 28 Septambra [fony nanaparitaka entona mandatsa-dranomaso tamin'ireo mpanao hetsika am-pilaminana ireo mpitandro filaminana] niova ny fiarahamonina manontolon'i Hong Kong. |
46 | There are political messages everywhere. | Misy hafatra pôlitika eny rehetra eny. |
47 | You see the yellow colour on every street. | Hitanao ny loko mavo eny an-dàlana rehetra eny. |
48 | If you do not touch on the subject, it would look as though you are running away from it. | Raha tsy mikasika ilay resaka ianao, dia toy ny hita ho miala lavitra azy io. |
49 | If there would ever be genuine universal suffrage in Hong Kong, there would probably be no need to talk about it! | Raha hisy fifidianam-bahoaka marina eto Hong Kong, tsy misy tokony hiresahana ny momba an'io mihitsy! |
50 | Most people find it hard to choose between ideals and reality. However, like it or not, a choice must be made. | Vahoaka maro no mahita fa manahirana ny misafidy amin'ny lafatra sy ny tena zava-misy marina. na dia izany aza anefa, na tianao na tsia, misy safidy tsy maintsy atao. |
51 | Mocking Jer have been funding its own films and have remained independent, both in terms of human power and other resources. | Nmatsy tena ny ara-bola ireo horonantsariny ny Mocking Jer, ary nijanona ho mahaleo tena hatrany, na eo amin'ny lafiny olona miasa na ireo fitaovana hafa. |
52 | Apart from making films, they have to make a living. | Ankoatra ny famokarana horonantsary, mila mitady vola hiainana ihany koa izy ireo. |
53 | Ah Wah shrugged and smiled: | Nihatoka i Ah Wah ary nitsiky: |
54 | We have to earn a living too. | Mila mitady vola hiainana ihany koa izahay. |
55 | The audience wants us to produce short films that are marvelous, but that means production cost. | Tian'ireo mpijery hamokatra horonantsary fohy mahafinaritra izahay, saingy midika izany hoe misy vola lany amin'ny famokarana azy. |
56 | We have been doing it out of our own pockets. | Nataonay tamin'ireo vola am-paosinay ireo. |
57 | If in the future we have the opportunity to produce films for advertisers, we would let the audience know. | Raha any aoriana, ho afaka hanatontosa horonantsary ho an'ireny mpanao dokambarotra ireny izahay, hampahafantarinay ny mpijery ihany. |
58 | We also hope they would understand. | Manantena ihany koa izahay fa ho takatr'izy ireo izany. |
59 | No matter what, we would do our best in every production. | Na inona mitranga, hanome ny tsara indrindra avy aminay foana izahay amin'ny famokarana rehetra. |
