《号外》杂志
PRESENTER:
‘City Magazine’ was founded in 1976 by John Chan, Peter Dunn, and Henry U. It was a monthly lifestyle and cultural magazine, and you can see covers from the 1980s and early 1990s here. Tina Liu joined the team as executive editor in 1981 and told us why one edition was particularly special.
TINA LIU:
The April 1982 issue was a turning point in ‘City Magazine’, both in terms of form and content. For instance, it changed from about A4 to a huge 11 by 17 inches in size. People were amazed by the big size, as well as its unique perspective on local city culture and the international flair of Alan Zie Yongder’s graphic design. The readers felt trendy, cool and proud holding a copy in their hands!
PRESENTER:
In the beginning, ‘City Magazine’ didn't have many resources, but it did have character, and wasn’t concerned with commercial factors. This afforded the team huge creative freedom.
TINA LIU:
The cover person of this issue was very good looking, but she wasn’t a star or celebrity. She was Eva, just a friend of our friends; because of her good looks and aura, we invited her to be the cover person, we broke the norm back then, who said it has to be celebrities? Peter Dunn also asked William Chang to help with the artistic direction. We didn't have the budget to hire professional make-up artist; but I was a part time make-up artist during my university days, so I gladly volunteered! It was the beginning of a long collaboration between William and me working on ‘City Magazine’ covers and fashion features, and in time, ‘City Magazine’ ’s signature aesthetic style was developed.
PRESENTER:
Back then, most of the founders had returned to Hong Kong from studying abroad. They came armed with a shared sensitivity towards pop culture and a variety of talents, which combined to create a fresh and unique chemistry for producing the magazine’s content.
TINA LIU:
John Chan [Koon Chung] produced serious society commentaries and at the same time wrote novels and movie scripts. Joseph Yau [Sai Man] was a prolific and learned writer of literature and history on top of his famous serial novels and urban jokes; Peter Dunn [Shio Yu] wrote serial novels and sarcastic gossips very well. John Sham [Kin Fun] wrote investigative reports and interviews, produced movies, and at the same time was a comedy actor who could sing and play music. I followed with articles on fashion, design and trends. Birds of a feather really do flock together. The magazine attracted many more creative, young and dynamic people who gladly contributed to a publication reflecting Hong Kong’s city life.
Back then it seemed that everyone was happily multi-tasking. When I chat with old friends these days, we often feel that back then we could do whatever we wanted, and the outcomes were pretty impressive! Everybody could make good use of their talents, bringing into play to create a blooming era!
PRESENTER:
It was the dynamism of a youthful Hong Kong generation, with mixed Western and Chinese culture—like Tina and her friends—that helped define an era of metropolitan vibrancy and growth for the city.
