Ask who in this world does not want to get rich, may not be interested in money is only Hangzhou Ma Daddy bar, but in addition to these top rich people, ordinary people living in the grassroots almost every family has a dream of getting rich, so many people have aimed at a quick method, that is, "buy lottery tickets", who do not want to win a few million at once, but it is said that the probability of winning the lottery ticket is even lower than the meteorite hit you, but the thinking of buying lottery has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people at the bottom. And the movie told today is a funny journey for the "Heavenly Lotto".
Hello audience masters, I am to bring you a first-hand information, every day rushing to the front line of film and television meng new reporter Xiao Wu, today we through the Hong Kong comedy movie "Rich and Powerful", to tell the 80s Hong Kong low-income residents of the hard dream of getting rich.
I don't know if you remember the funny old ghost police uncle in Xingye's early movie "Master Brother Bumping into Ghosts"? In addition to the golden combination of Xingye and Uncle Da, it is estimated that the male actors around Xingye that we can remember, Uncle Biao must also occupy a position, but in fact, before Xingye became famous, Uncle Biao was already a well-known figure in Hong Kong, and the main reason why "Master Brother Hits the Ghost" let Uncle Xiao play for Xingye is that he hopes to win the red Star Grandpa through Uncle Biao, in fact, in the eyes of mainland audiences, the understanding of Uncle Biao is only at the level of the movie, but for Hong Kong, Uncle Biao is a well-known figure.
But his fame is not because of the movie but because of the "horse", Uncle Biao's name is Dong Biao, because his grandfather is the first Chinese horse trainer in Da Nang, so Uncle Biao has an indissoluble relationship with horses since he was a child, he began to ride horses at the age of 8, began to learn to train horses with his father at the age of twelve or thirteen, and then graduated from the First Place Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club Training Class, which is also the first professional jockey in Hong Kong, and later participated in Singapore, the United Kingdom and other places, and it is precisely because Uncle Biao understands horses and understands horses. So in 1967, after Hong Kong Li's TV began to broadcast horse racing, Dong Biao also deservedly became the host and horse critic, but Uncle Biao did not expect that he would become the male protagonist of the movie for this reason.
In the 80s, the "Happy Ghost" series of comedies starring Huang Baiming has been released and has won the love of the audience, and this kind of low-cost and high-return film is also deeply loved by director Gao Zhisen, but no matter how good the subject matter is repeatedly filmed, it will only get worse and worse, and even collapse the reputation, so after conceiving and combining with the current social situation, in 1985, Gao Zhisen created a family-style comedy story "Mad World" that the family was addicted to the lottery, and then found the Baode Film Company that was in full swing at that time, and "Rich and Powerful" The series is also one of the few films in the works of Baode Film Company that is not a kung fu comedy, and the reason why Baode has more kung fu films is because one of the company's major shareholders is Hong Jinbao, the big brother of the film and television industry.

When Hong Jinbao saw the script, he immediately liked this plot, not only agreed to invest immediately, but even wanted to personally play the role of the head of the family, but Gao Zhisen did not want his movie to become a kung fu comedy, and in Gao Zhisen's heart, the position of the male protagonist had already been chosen, that is, the legendary figure in the horse racing industry, Dong Biao, in fact, the reason was very simple, because at this time, Uncle Biao was still doing horse racing shows, and the Lottery was undertaken by the horse racing company under the jurisdiction of the Jockey Club, so it was not only right for Uncle Biao to play. There will also be a lot of topicality, thinking of this, Hong Jinbao can only give in, it is true that Uncle Biao to play is indeed much better than his own acting effect, but the name of the movie needs to be changed, and finally after consultation, the name of "Rich and Powerful" was decided.
But what people never expected was that Uncle Biao actually refused, the reason is also very simple, although Uncle Biao has starred in some movies before, but basically are supporting roles, and this time he actually starred in the position of the protagonist, but he was very worried that he could not carry it, and then through Hong Jinbao and Jackie Chan and other people to lobby finally Uncle Biao was relieved to agree, the male protagonist was selected, then who should play the heroine? To know that in 1985 there were not many actresses in the Hong Kong comedy industry, and there were even fewer people who could support this heroine position, after layers of screening, Hong Jinbao finally determined a candidate, that is, Shen Dianxia, who is known as a fat sister, Shen Dianxia is fat but very dexterous, and there is no need to say in the expression of acting skills and expressions, so it is most appropriate for her to play the position of the heroine.

But at this time, Shen Dianxia was worried about his feelings and did not have the heart to shoot a drama, so he refused, because it was in January of this year that Shen Dianxia and Zheng Shaoqiu got married, and the reason for this marriage was indeed gambling, the two had a relationship since they met in 1978, and this relationship was also controversial at the time, in fact, think about it, a handsome and handsome, a bloated body fat, how can not think of the reason for the combination of two people, is it really love? So the two rumors spread in the gossip, and the two versions of the love between the handsome man Zheng Shaoqiu and the obese celebrity Shen Dianxia also became more and more intense.
Shen Dianxia, Zheng Shaoqiu
The first is that some people say that Zheng Shaoqiu deceived Shen Dianxia, wanted to use her fame to pave the way for herself, and quickly left her after becoming famous, while the second theory is diametrically opposed, that is, in fact, Shen Dianxia took a fancy to Zheng Shaoqiu, and then forced Zheng Shaoqiu to marry himself with the forces of the underworld, and Zheng Shaoqiu was the victim, but in the end which statement is true, we all don't know, and the reason why the two married was indeed because Shen Dianxia found Guan Jinghua's love letter in Zheng Shaoqiu's suitcase. The two also had a big fight, and later Zheng Shaoqiu expressed his request to Shen Dianxia to get married in order to prove his innocence, and then the two registered for marriage in Canada like a gamble.
Zheng Shaoqiu, Guan Jinghua
But soon after the marriage, Shen Dianxia found that Zheng Shaoqiu was still in contact with Guan Jinghua, so this matter has been lingering in her heart, fortunately, Uncle Biao and Fat Sister are very good friends, under the persuasion of Uncle Biao, Shen Dianxia finally agreed to star, and there are two big coffee sitting in the company is also a sigh of relief, after all, a very good script plus the blessing of these two, the box office is not a problem, so at this time the company also wants to take this opportunity to vigorously praise a newcomer, so 19-year-old Sister Chen Yishi, Li Lizhen, a 21-year-old who just debuted, and child star Guan Peilin were pulled into the crew, but what people never expected was that this randomly matched Lei family had become a cash cow, not only a big movie hit and also a spokesperson for the low-level citizens of Hong Kong.
With the image of the family portrait to take over a lot of advertising, although everyone knows that these two have their own families, but this comedic CP is still deeply loved by the audience, and "Rich and Compelling", the scene of the family living in the downtown area of Hong Kong, is also very in line with the appetite of the public, so the film once it was released in only four weeks to get 27 million box office, which is more than ten times, not only happy investors, but also with fire Li Lizhen and others, and then the company through the heat of the movie has successively launched "Rich and Noble Repeatedly Forced", "Rich and Noble Repeatedly Forced", The series of movies "Rich and Happy Ghosts" and "Rich Golden House" have also received good responses.
In fact, those seemingly funny shots in the movie are in a witty and funny way to tell the audience that the wealth of the family can not rely on fantasy but to be down-to-earth, although the sky will drop the pie, but the sudden huge wealth is likely to bring greater crisis, compared to money, family, lover, children is what we need to cherish more, happiness does not actually need money to measure, even if it is living in a small house, as long as the family is healthy and healthy, peaceful and peaceful to be happy and harmonious, Don't be affected by everything that is unrealistic and let us lose everything that should be cherished.
