Those viewers who watched "Crazy Boy" back then are now growing older and full of emotion. In that passionate era, I don't know how many young people chose a challenging path because of the influence of Chen Haonan.
It is true that "Crazy Boy" has a profound impact on the post-80s generation, and the film is set in a gangster, and although the brotherhood on the screen is deeply moving, it conveys some incorrect values.
Even the leading actor Ekin Cheng once warned us, "Never become Chen Haonan, otherwise the family will be very sad".
Yes, passion is only passion after all, and a sense of justice only makes sense when you do the right thing. Although the plot of "Crazy Boy" is tortuous, but "fighting, killing, killing" is ultimately not allowed by the law, we should not break the law for personal interests in the world, let alone hurt others, this is the sense of morality and legal concept that every citizen should have.
Ekin Cheng, a gangster on the screen, is a good law-abiding citizen in real life. Not only is his handsomeness recognized by the public, but his facial features are upright and his temperament is extraordinary, and it is easy for him to become a movie star if he wants to. Sure enough, the release of "Crazy Boy" made him a superstar in Hong Kong, with a bumper harvest of fame and profits.
However, after the huge success of "Crazy Boy", it also caused a series of social problems. Many teenagers imitated the plot of the movie after watching it, and during that time, the chaos in society and the increase in crime cases caused strong public dissatisfaction.
In order to clean up this "mess", the crew hurriedly filmed "The Battle of the Troubled Boys", which abandoned the previous fights and killings, and conveyed all regret and regret. They tried to use this film to guide people to goodness and the right path.
In that movie, which was loved by the audience, Chen Haonan's words full of meaning still echo in people's hearts: "Never become an outdated little person, the worries of your family will follow you."
Despite the tireless efforts of the production team and actors to try to turn the tide of the situation, they were unable to reverse the negative reviews from audiences, which had a profound negative impact on the younger generation, leading to the series being taken off the shelves.
However, Ekin Cheng became a national star with this film series, quickly amassing huge wealth and fame. But since then, he has not been able to produce a breakthrough work, not because of his lack of acting skills, but because his dedication is not as brilliant as his fame.
His personal emotional life seems to be more volatile than his career. His relationship with Gigi Leung was once a well-known story, and the relationship between the two was once sweet and warm, making many people mistakenly think that they would enter the palace of marriage.
However, Ekin Cheng's recklessness in love and desire for freedom made this long-lasting relationship fail to blossom in the end, and Gigi Leung finally chose to leave, ending this love full of infatuation and regret.
Regarding the breakup, some people think that this is the best outcome because when they first got together, it was not very glamorous. Gigi Leung intervened in the relationship between Ekin Cheng and Maggie Shao, and then parted ways, which was both a relief and the best arrangement.
Handsome guys are more attentive, and Ekin Cheng is no exception, he is eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, which actually hurts Maggie Shao a lot, and finally he is unwilling to marry Gigi Leung, which also shows that he has not played enough. When he had enough, it was "cheap" for Meng Jiahui.
Meng Jiahui is a smart woman, during her relationship with Ekin Cheng, she put pressure on him to marry many times, and she also regarded herself as Ekin Cheng's wife in the outside world.
Ekin Cheng's family background is already wealthy, and he doesn't rely on the salary he earns from filming. Since he earned tens of millions of properties through "Crazy Boy", he began to invest, and Meng Jiahui is also an investment master, she used Ekin Cheng's money to invest in several properties, according to the current market value, he is already worth hundreds of millions.
Because in the traditional concept, marriage and childbirth are taken for granted, and it is a matter of course to pass them on from generation to generation, and there doesn't seem to be much freedom at all. However, in the eyes of a few, Ekin Cheng's idea is not unreasonable.
In this rapidly changing society, the pressure of competition is enormous, and many people are reluctant to let their future children continue to experience these pains because of the hardships they have experienced. Therefore, they choose not to have children, or even resolutely do not have children, in order to prevent future generations from continuing to endure the hardships of life.
