In early August, Chen Musheng's posthumous work "Fury And Serious Cases" brought a long-lost excitement to the theater.
Hong Kong, guns, police bandits, double males...
A few key words are refined, which cares whether the plot is as thin as paper, it is my dish, first read and then say.
After reading it, Xie Tingfeng did not do the cook to kill the police, and Zhen Zidan gave up his order to follow the oath to pursue the murderer. Macho vs. Macho, Hong Kong films have used the classic recipe for decades, cooked properly, and are still delicious.
▲I miss director Chen Musheng
At first glance, the beginning of the story is black eating black, which is actually a prelude to revenge. Nicholas Tse led a group of little brothers to rampage into the gods and block the gods, acting evil and crazy, so that I got his handsome point for the first time.
According to the plot foreshadowing, the audience can perceive that the criminal gang and his party probably have a past that is more unjust than Dou E, resulting in a distorted personality and deliberately creating a brutal picture of catching a horse. However, for fans who are accustomed to seeing the world, no blood, no blood, no death, no madness, but no fire, what qualifications are there to be called "Hong Kong police films"? A hundred million bullets shot over, only cool, afraid that you grind and twitter warm swallowing.
17 years ago, also directed by Chen Musheng, "New Police Story" did not disappoint everyone. 17 years later, "Fury Case" is not only a self-tribute, but also a comprehensive upgrade, with a raging anger to burn out the fierce fire of fans - the fire of desire to return to the golden age of Hong Kong police films.
▲"New Police Story"
After the climax of the first action scene, the main line of "Fury And Serious Cases" is launched: Zhang Chongbang (Zhen Zidan), a senior inspector who has always upheld a righteous conscience, in the process of following up the drug trafficking case of the slaughtered police, it is found that the culprit is Qiu Gang'ao (Played by Xie Tingfeng), a former colleague who was assigned by his boss to solve the illegal case, and then the "Lord of the State" and Ah Ao are caught in a duel between heaven and earth.
The movie is fast-paced, and with flashback insertion, the anger increases layer by layer, and it becomes more and more intense. Realistic street scenes, fierce fights, and all kinds of unfortunate props that are constantly being rushed, crushed, and crushed to pieces, so that fans can't help but silently nod, yep, the style is positive.
▲Douban score is good
Finally, the villain's cross-examination, that is, the accusation of "use up and abandon", and the declaration of resistance of "I can concede defeat, but never admit my life", made the audience a little reminiscent of "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" released last year, of course, "Anger And Serious Case" went further.
Throughout the film, Zhen Zidan's performance is basically qualified, and Nicholas Tse even brings many surprises. But what most affects the minds of movie fans is the countless hidden fragments of memory, which are the Hong Kong film "Jianghu" pointed by the glittering supporting characters that have caused countless heroes to bend their waists.
Singh Hattihan Bito, Lin Guobin, Lu Huiguang... Having been a jerk before, now I continue to "rape" and continue to "bandit":
▲ From top to bottom: "Detective", "King of Destruction", "Plan A Sequel"
Guo Feng, Tan Yaowen, Zhang Guoqiang... This time, they were more or less "whitewashed", all of them looked decent:
▲ Guo Feng in "Genesis"
▲ Tan Yaowen in "Beast Cop"
▲ Zhang Guoqiang in "Tianlong Eight Parts"
The two big-name supporting characters in "Fury Serious Case", Lu Liangwei and Ren Dahua, deserve to be taken out and highlighted.
Lu Liangwei, the first generation of Ding Li in "Shanghai Beach", the greedy and arrogant Wu Guohao in "Lame Hao".
Fangzheng's face comes with its own aura. Strong self-esteem, anger, courage.
Even if he was in a depressed situation at first, he never hid his desire for money and getting ahead.
▲ P.s. Our "fat cat" Zheng Zeshi, the big guy, is also like Lu Liangwei, who has released the aura of the big guy many times
Flying higher and higher, still unwilling to give up. Materialistic and increasingly inflated Hao Ge engaged in mergers and bribes in an attempt to eat everything in black and white.
In the end, the times changed, and the lame man fell into the abyss of eternal doom.
By the way, there is a scene in the movie "Lame Hao" that makes me marvel at "father's love is really like a mountain": the daughter asks the father to sign the report card, and The brother looks at it, good guy, five subjects fail. You think he's going to be mad? Wrong, the big guy cloud is light and breezy, smiling kindly, and comforting his daughter: This time has made a lot of progress, go outside to play, daddy give you five hundred yuan ...
Another big guy in "Lame Hao" is Zeng Jiang, who plays inspector "Lei Tiger", who went to heaven and earth before the icing on the commission against Corruption and called the wind and rain. Old Master Zeng is good at interpreting this arrogant role of "waking up to the power of the world", arrogance is engraved in the bones, evil. It is easy to rub with other big guys, such as Xie Xian, the father of Thunder Feng.
For most of Brother Xie's life, he has also been living "very self". Once you feel offended, you are eager to try to smoke people.
In "Jianghu Dragon and Tiger Fighting", Deng Guangrong and Zhou Runfa brothers broke into the end of the world, but they could not fight but Gao Laosi, played by Xie Xian. Gao Laosi said that he never had the habit of arriving early, let whoever he wanted to disappear would let anyone disappear, introduce a business, just to see if the other party was bold... The harsh words were well stocked, and Xie Xian acted handily.
Ren Dahua, who played a senior police superintendent in "Fury And Serious Case", is a good boy with virtue and art in real life. But in Du Qifeng's "Underworld", he played a sinister and cruel old slut.
Gangster big brother Ah Le does not pay attention to righteousness, only talks about interests, a belly of tricks. In the first part, The gang's old predecessor, Dumber, nodded and hunched, and in the second part, because the other party did not support him, he pushed him down the stairs and directly took the dog belt.
▲ Wang Tianlin, who plays Deng Bo, was born in Shanghai and is Wang Jing's old father. In fact, Wang Tianlin himself is not a big guy
The dispute between Big D and Lego became the main contradiction in the development of the first story, there is no good and evil loyalty, only calculation and betrayal, and everything cannot escape the poisonous net of power and ambition. When ah le smashed the head of big D again and again with a big stone, presumably the audience's small heart was also tightened again and again.
In "Underworld", the big D who died before he was born, that is, Comrade Liang Jiahui, was originally a fierce Taiwan gangster Zhou Chaoxian, and only he took a stone to smash others' share. Look at the look in his eyes in Black Gold:
Please savor his signature line:
Because he felt unfair, he also tied up his eldest brother who had promoted him and pushed him off the plane.
▲Ask Li Liqun for psychological shadow area
Those who follow the other prosper, and those who oppose the other perish.
At the beginning of the new century, the "Infernal Affairs" series also provided fans and friends with a big man who took the elegant route, Ni Yongxiao.
The "Infernal Affairs" series gathered 7 movie emperors, each of whom performed well. And the most eye-catching one in the second part, there is no doubt that the "Hong Kong version of the godfather" Ni Yongxiao.
After his father's death, he graduated from the accounting department of a prestigious foreign university and was forced to take over the mess in the family. But Yongxiao has a high IQ, handles affairs freely, and simply despairs: first recruit four bosses, and then expose Sir Huang's plot and go undercover. Killed four more bosses, shot and killed undercover agents who had accompanied him for many years, and loaded bombs on Huang Sir's car...
At the end of the day, he could not break free from his own life plate after all, and it was tragic. As soon as you enter the jianghu, you should be mentally prepared to "return it out."
▲All warmth is for the family
▲ The look in his eyes before dying makes the fans uneasy
In the "Infernal Affairs" series, Han Chen, played by Zeng Zhiwei, also left a deep impression on the audience.
He borrowed a knife to kill people, and successfully ascended to the throne after Ni Yongxiao's death. He and Huang Sir turned against each other, and finally sent someone to kill this former friend.
From being generous to shrewd, from trusting others to closing their hearts, the audience witnessed Han Chen's blackening journey and zeng Zhiwei's "greatness": the appearance is a loss, but the gangster he starred in was convincing.
The next wave of memory killing, veteran fans of Hong Kong movies should be more familiar.
When the first "Kill the Wolf" was released, Hong Jinbao and Zhen Zidan's fight scene made the audience relish it. Wang Bao, the big guy played by Hong Jinbao, is domineering and leaking, speaking loudly, leading hundreds of little brothers to smash the wine bottle together, daring to undisguisedly give the police a horse.
3 years later, Hong Jinbao played the gang old Dalian Haolong in "Capture the Marshal", because of the old man's spring breeze, he threw a big banquet. The child was born to Xinna's concubine (Zhang Wenci), and Lian Haolong's eldest wife (Tian Yu) did not reduce the style of sister-in-law.
Although Tian Yu Fanghua has passed, she was an uncompromising beauty in the old days, so she can attract a patriarchal figure who specializes in playing a big guy - Wan Ziliang.
▲ The wedding of Wan Ziliang and TianNian was presided over by Run Run Shaw, and the chief groomsman was Chow Sing Chi, Wang Mingquan, Zheng Yuling and many other stars. Unfortunately, the marriage lasted only 4 years
In fact, Wan Ziliang's facial features are not particularly handsome, but there is an unspeakable man's charm, and the dimples are deep when laughing. Back then, I watched boxes of video tapes of "Big Family", "Giants" and "Rogue Tycoon" with my old uncle at home...
▲There are always beautiful women around
In the "Ancient Puzzle Boy" series, as soon as Jiang Tianyang fu appeared, wang ba's qi was about to come out. He smoked a cigar, sat lazily on the sofa, and did not deliberately show anything, so that a few people on the side were crushed to a very weak and very incoherent manner.
Jiang Tianyang is well versed in human nature and can always make the best choice under calm thinking. The elders of "Hong Xing" came to Thailand to find him back to be the boss, and he did not immediately agree, but chose to wait.
Step by step, he took charge of the authority.
He can smile kindly, but not be angry; if he is really angry, it is frightening.
Be a big brother, the brain should be good. Jiang Tianyang's self-confidence stemmed from the wisdom of his mind.
"Big Head Boy", "Hero Good Man", "Carmen in Mong Kok"... A nostalgic old film makes the Wan Zi liang in my mind always be a big guy with a big back, even if he is now blessed, vicissitudes, and deflated, no matter, the childhood filter blessing, the male god is a male god after all.
"I'm your big brother, why don't you kneel down in front of me?" This is Zi Liang teaching him how to be a younger brother in front of Andy Lau. "How can you openly say in front of such a senior police officer as Superintendent Hou that you want me to see blood, you are simply lawless!" This is Zi Liang's "open-mindedness" in front of Zhou Runfa without smiling, and there are really many famous scenes of "Hero good man"...
Brother Wen Qiang of Allah, Brother Of Allah's Little Horse, Brother of Allah, brother of Allah, will make a grand appearance at the end of the article! In 2018, "Peerless" was released, and Brother Fa was full of unruly writing, raising his hands and sweeping wildly with two guns, once again capturing the hearts of me and the old uncle at home. He put on a suit and is a big guy, and he takes off his clothes to show his figure and is a big guy among big guys. He means the "anger" years of Hong Kong movies, the unalterable pride of the rivers and lakes, and the common recognition of generations of fans in the mainland of the motherland and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan about "what is a man".
▲ "The True Colors of Heroes" did not know how many fans fell into the "pit" of Zhou Runfa, and they could not climb out at all
▲ All blame Brother Fa is too dazzling, and Guo Tianwang is also a sinner...
The reason why we are obsessed with the big guys is because in them, we have penetrated the dark side of human nature, and also understood the eternal desire of human beings for love and love.
The big guys aren't going to take us bad. Instead, we would like to thank them for embellishing this fantastic movie-going life.
