The theme of police and bandits has always been one of the iconic genre films of Hong Kong films. Today, when many actors and directors have gone north, many viewers still have a crush on the police hong kong films with their former glory. And "The Heroic Hero of the Flying Tiger", jointly produced by Youku and Shaw Pictures, is undoubtedly such a police suspense drama that evokes the common memory of the public.
Zhuang Wenqiang, who has directed and supervised "Peerless", "Eavesdropping" and "Honest Government", also pointed out the reason why Hong Kong films love the theme of police and bandits - in the final analysis, police films are modern martial arts films. Coupled with the integration of suspense, gunfights and other eye-catching commercial elements, packaging into the connotation of "chivalry", it eventually became a Hong Kong-style police film that the audience liked to hear.
And "Flying Tiger's Heroic Hero" is undoubtedly such a Hong Kong film plot that not only satisfies some audiences, but also keeps pace with the times with the needs of young audiences to carry narrative methods and story elements that young audiences like to hear, and also allows the audience to see the ambition of the rise of Hong Kong dramas.
For example, the name of "Flying Tigers" alone, which has a strong symbolic imprint, is enough to remind people of those storm-throwing, robber-grabbing bandits, arrogant and heroic posture in Hong Kong films. It can be said that the "Flying Tigers" is definitely one of the most highly featured names in Hong Kong police films, they are synonymous with protecting Hong Kong's tranquility, and they are also synonymous with "chivalry". As for the long list of names of Miao Qiaowei, Huang Zongze, Wu Zhuoxi, Ma Dezhong, Chen Hao, Guo Jin'an, and Xiao Zhengnan in the starring supporting roles, it can be said that it is a collection of the current TVB façade responsibilities, and such a pure "Hong Kong flavor" cast alone is indeed becoming less and less difficult to see.
In particular, Huang Zongze and Wu Zhuoxi have cooperated 8 times, and 3 times they are Flying Tigers. In the play, the two were born into death, and the brotherhood of Huang Zongze Wu Zhuoxi outside the play continued, for example, netizens learned on social media that when the two carried out Flying Tiger publicity, they clapped hand in hand together to take photos and live broadcasts, all kinds of funny, which made fans addicted, and Huang Zongze also broke the news, the action scene row is a few weeks, everyone is too tired to shoot on the set, basically eat and sleep together, as if brothers, but also add a lot of color to this drama.
The plot story of "Flying Tiger Hero" is also advancing with the times, raising the vision of the pattern to a new height. The Flying Tigers' opponents are no longer local bandits, but international terrorist organizations with greater ambitions, stronger organizational discipline and combat effectiveness, and higher planning capabilities and intelligence levels. Their goal is no longer a petty bank robbery, but a conspiracy that has the potential to affect peace on a large scale. From the beginning, the series explains the hard stubble encountered by the Flying Tigers: Renee, the exiled princess of Peiguo, did not hesitate to take a large number of hostages in the theater in order to intercept the secret weapon in the hands of Mr. Bai, an arms dealer of Hu Peiguo. The Flying Tigers, even with an internal response, still did not have the weapons to catch Renee and the deal. A sense of suspense and tension is thus established - whether the Flying Tigers, who have repeatedly guarded the safety of the citizens in the past, can cope with new challenges, and what kind of conspiracy is hidden behind the terrorist organization, all of which need to be solved by the Flying Tigers.
In the recent plot, Zhan Bowen, Zhang Weiye and others cracked Leo's plan of taking hostages falsely and really moving the tiger away from the mountain to rescue Renee, killing Leo who tried to detonate the bomb at the moment of crisis, and defusing another earth-shattering crisis. Renee, who saw Leo with her own eyes, was heartbroken and resolutely chose to commit suicide. At this point, all the exiled princes and princesses of peiguo were offline, and the terrorist organization "Waganbu" was also eradicated. The spirit of Fan Shaofeng, the former commander-in-chief of the Flying Tigers, who had died before, was finally comforted.
But for the Flying Tigers, the potential danger will never disappear for no reason, especially although the exiled princess and prince of Peiguo are offline, but the source of weapons that makes the terrorist organization "Waganbu" risky and hear the news is still a huge mystery. As long as the source problem is not solved, there is still a danger in Hong Kong. In order to truly give an account to the teammates and brothers who sacrificed, in order to return a safe and stable environment in Hong Kong, the Flying Tigers' perseverance and investigation continues. What kind of amazing secrets are hidden behind a series of terrorist attacks, everything is only waiting for the plot development to be revealed.
It can be seen that "Flying Tiger's Heroic Hero" pulls us back to the golden age that belongs to Hong Kong films: from the earliest martial arts films, martial arts films to costume palace fighting films, and then to modern police and bandit crime films, Hong Kong films have always existed in its unique posture. Nowadays, due to the impact of the mainland film and television market and the restrictions of a single theme, Hong Kong films and Hong Kong dramas have declined, but in recent years, Hong Kong films are also actively making transformations and changes, from the pattern to the lineup, the pursuit of keeping pace with the times, I hope that Hong Kong dramas and Hong Kong films are getting better and better!
