In 2016, Huanya Film and Hairun Pictures jointly produced a police film - "Tree Trick".
The film is produced by Galaxy Impression, produced by Du Qifeng and You Naihai, co-directed by Xu Xuewen, Ou Wenjie and Huang Weijie, and starring Lin Jiadong, Ren Xianqi, Chen Xiaochun and others.
Big card division, big production, big lineup!
Ren Xianqi played by "Ye Jihuan"
The film is based on the criminal experiences of Hong Kong's "three thieves" Zhang Ziqiang, Yip Jihuan and Ji Bingxiong in the 1990s, although the film uses pseudonyms for the three people: Zhuo Ziqiang (Chen Xiaochun), Ye Guohuan (Ren Xianqi), Ji Zhengxiong (Lin Jiadong), but the discerning audience can see at a glance that this is a film based on true events.
Zhang Ziqiang, Ye Jihuan and Ji Bingxiong were the thief kings of the 1990s who dominated Hong Kong, among them Zhang Ziqiang was shot after being arrested in the mainland, Ye Jihuan died of illness while serving his sentence in Stanley Prison in Hong Kong, and Ji Bingxiong, who has been serving 17 years, will be released from prison on January 18.

According to the latest news from Hong Kong media, Ji Bingxiong, who was heavily sentenced to 24 years in prison for armed robbery and gunshot wounded in 2005, will be released from prison on January 18 after serving a 17-year sentence. The Hong Kong police revealed that Ji Bingxiong's US passport is still valid, and Hong Kong correctional officers will be released from prison according to normal procedures; since Ji Bingxiong's Hong Kong passport has been invalidated and revoked, the Hong Kong police will arrange for the "Flying Tigers" to "escort" him out of Hong Kong to the United States after Ji Bingxiong is released from prison.
Compared with the "Century Thief King" Ye Jihuan and the "Century Kidnapper" Zhang Ziqiang, the name of "Century Bandit" Ji Bingxiong is very unfamiliar to most people, until the movie "Tree Trick" was released, many people did not know that there was also a "Thief King" among the "Three Thieves Kings" called Ji Bingxiong.
In the 17 years he has been in Hong Kong, he has planned and participated in a number of large-scale robberies, and several confrontations with the Hong Kong police, involving a total amount of UP to HK$40 million, once becoming the most wanted criminal in Hong Kong history with the highest reward bonus - HK$2 million (Zhang Ziqiang's bounty bonus is 1 million)!
Many netizens believe that the movie "Big Event" directed by Du Qifeng and starring Ren Xianqi and Zhang Jiahui is based on Ji Bingxiong's real experience, but through the comparison of the movie plot and character shaping, the two are not similar.
At present, it is certain that Ji Zhengxiong, played by Lin Jiadong in the movie "Tree Trick", is the only movie adapted based on Ji Bingxiong. It is worth mentioning that Lin Jiadong won the best actor at the 36th Hong Kong Film Awards for this role.

Movies come from life and are higher than life, the "three thief kings" are all products of the times, because the other two "thief kings" adapted a lot of film and television dramas, everyone can be as many as a family treasure. The following pickpocket sister will take you to understand this "century gangster" - Ji Bingxiong!
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the only living "Shapuzai" among the "Three Thieves"</h1>
Ji Bingxiong was born on March 18, 1960 in Sanshui, Guangdong Province, and began working as a pickpocket at the train station at the age of 10.
In 1980, Ji Bingxiong smuggled himself into Hong Kong and obtained a Hong Kong Identity Card.
In just three years, between 1980 and 1983, Ji Bingxiong was imprisoned 8 times and had a criminal record of 11 times.
Because of his bravery and fierceness in prison, he often fought and fought, and was given his nickname - Shapu Tsai!
Ji Bingxiong
In 1984, Ji Bingxiong, who was imprisoned again, married Huang Zhiming, who had robbed Chow Tai Fook Jinxing at gunpoint. The latter introduced him to the illegal arms group and joined the "Big Circle Gang", which was the turning point for him to become the "King of Thieves".
On May 1, 1985, Ji Bingxiong, who had just been released from prison, was involved in the "Zhongxin Watch Armed Robbery Case", when Seven bandits, including Ji Bingxiong, exchanged more than 126 fires with the Hong Kong police, becoming the largest number of police and bandit gunfights in Hong Kong's history.
At that time, because the bandits took hostages, coupled with the superiority of weapons, they actually escaped!
Although after four months, most of the 1.8 million Hong Kong dollar watches were recovered and most of the bandits were arrested, the cunning Ji Bingxiong suddenly "disappeared".
After the case, Ji Bingxiong did not relent, but instead embarked on a crazy robbery journey: in October 1986, Ji Bingxiong and his gang robbed Yau Ma Tei AiYun Jia Jewelry Gold Shop worth 400,000 Hong Kong dollars; in April of the same year, they robbed the jewelry worth 2 million Hong Kong dollars at the ChunWen Gem Shop in Central Landmark.
On 7 September 1989, Ji Pingxiong and two other accomplices stole a HK$2 million watch from Dickson Jewelry Gold In Central. After that, Ji Bingxiong suddenly fell silent. Hong Kong media broke the news that Ji Bingxiong got married and immigrated to Canada after this robbery, and gave birth to a daughter "jewel" after marriage. Based on this time, Ji Bingxiong obtained a U.S. passport at about this time.
Ji Bingxiong is cunning like a fox, has committed heinous crimes many times, never buys a house, does not use his real identity and name, and is even more uncertain and uncertain. The Hong Kong police at the time didn't even know that the robberies were related to Ji Bingxiong.
At the same time, Ji Bingxiong's modus operandi is crisp and clean, extremely cruel, and each time he uses a different identity and organizes a different criminal gang.
In the end, Ji Bingxiong singled out the less defensive shops near the subway station and fled quickly after each robbery, making it difficult for the police to arrest them.
On 27 April 1994, Ji Bingxiong, who had been "gone" for five years, made a comeback, first robbing DXN Watch 6.5 million Hong Kong dollars worth of precious watches from causeway Bay and then robbing 10 million Hong Kong dollars worth of jewelry from Central Gold Watch House on May 18.
During the escape, the bandits engaged in an exchange of fire with police, resulting in multiple injuries and the death of a 23-year-old female passerby on the spot. A suspect was arrested in this arrest, and after his confession, the Hong Kong police confirmed that the previous series of robberies were committed by Ji Bingxiong and his accomplices.
After that, Ji Bingxiong suddenly "disappeared" for several years.
But sooner or later the fox's tail will have to be exposed!
In 1998, Ji Bingxiong robbed again, snatching a total of HK$3.25 million of jewelry from The Dickson Watch & Jewelry House in Causeway Bay and Chow Tai Fook Jewelry.
After the robbery, the Hong Kong police launched an intensive search and pursuit.
However, it was not until May 22, 2001, when Hong Kong police officers Shi Junming, Lai Chi-wai and Ho Shu-chun found four suspicious figures near Wota Old Road in Mong Kok, one of whom was suspected to be Ji Bingxiong. The three people just went forward to inquire, and as a result, a bandit went forward and fired 3 shots in a row, Shi Junming He Li Zhiwei fell to the ground on the spot, and the female policewoman He Shuzhen was not equipped with a gun and was a woman, and the gangsters let her go. It was later confirmed that the person who fired the gun was Ji Bingxiong.
Just a month had passed since the incident, and on June 25, 2001, Ji Bingxiong and two robbers once again robbed the Happy Luck Watch Shop at the Founding Centre in Mong Kok, snatching a watch worth HK$2.85 million in just 30 seconds.
Hong Kong's major jewelry pedestrians are in danger, and the Hong Kong police immediately held a press conference: issued a global arrest warrant to arrest Ji Bingxiong and offer a reward of HK$2 million.
Ji Bingxiong fled to Canada in a hurry.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the legal net is restored, sparse and not exposed</h1>
In August 2003, Ji Bingxiong's right-hand man Wu Zhenqiang was released from prison. After his release from prison, the police found that Wu Zhenqiang was contacting the bandits everywhere and had a suspicious appearance, so the Criminal Intelligence Bureau paid close attention to his whereabouts and listened to his phone calls. Unexpectedly, along this line, the Hong Kong police finally caught the "old fox" Ji Bingxiong.
In the early morning of December 24, 2003, the Hong Kong police, with the coordination of the "Flying Tigers", suddenly surrounded the Wenjing Building on Yau Ma Tei Man Ying Street. After investigation, two men in two rooms were arrested, one was Wu Zhenqiang, and the other was Ji Bingxiong.
At the same time, the police also found in the rooms of the two men the largest group of bandits in Hong Kong in 30 years with arms. After the incident was reported, the people of Hong Kong celebrated with a crown and called it a "Christmas gift"!
After his arrest, Ji Bingxiong denied all his crimes and called himself a U.S. citizen in a vain attempt to escape justice. However, through fingerprint comparison, the Hong Kong police confirmed that he was the "gangster of the century" - Ji Bingxiong.
Later, Ji Bingxiong was interviewed by Sing Tao Daily, and Ji Bingxiong revealed that his original name was Kwan Tak Wing, and Ji Bingxiong used a toku kana after he smuggled himself to Hong Kong.
But it doesn't matter anymore!
In February 2005, the Hong Kong High Court convicted Ji Bingxiong of arms possession and sentenced him to 17 years in prison, after which the Hong Kong police indicted Ji Bingxiong for assaulting the police and sentenced him to a further 7 years in prison, for a total of 24 years.
With Ji Bingxiongde imprisoned, armed robberies in Hong Kong since the 1980s have largely disappeared. The arrest of this "gangster of the century" also announced the end of the criminal era when bandits ran rampant in Hong Kong!
