Chen Xunqi
Jackie Chan, Chen Xunqi
Chen Xunqi is a recognized "all-rounder" in the Hong Kong film industry, he entered the industry as a soundtrack apprentice at the age of 15, and he and his master Wang Fuling almost monopolized the film score work in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the 1970s. After that, he successively dabbled in actors, screenwriters, directors, martial arts instructors, producers, producers, singers, flying car stunts and other majors, and achieved good results.
"Beware of Small Hands"
In 1982, Chen Xunqi cooperated with Li Ying to establish "Yongjia Pictures". The company's pioneering work "Beware of Small Hands", Chen Xunqi and Hong Jinbao joined hands to create a fashion action film trend, laying the foundation for the subsequent "Fuxing" series and "Police Story" series. At the end of the 1980s, with the disintegration of the "New Art City", the "Golden Princess" behind the scenes shrank its business, and "Yongjia" was also affected and announced the closure.

After that, Chen Xunqi independently established "Xunqi Film Co., Ltd." and filmed the masterpiece "Prodigal Son of Border City". Today's "Detective Power's Question of Mi Chasing Murder" is the company's second work.
Titles
Poster of "Detective Power's Question"
"Detective Power's Question for Rice Pursuit" was released in 1994, self-directed and self-starred by Chen Xunqi, and the screenwriter is "Chen Jiasheng".
Who is this Chen Jiasheng?
In fact, Chen Jiasheng is the pseudonym of the three people - Chen is Chen Xunqi, the family is Wong Kar-wai, and the voice is Zuo Songsheng.
In the mid-1980s, Wong Kar-wai entered the "New Art City" to work, but was dismissed by Shi Nansheng, who was in charge of administration, due to delaying drafts and absenteeism. Chen Xunqi cherished that Wong Kar-wai was a talent and stayed by his side.
Wong Kar Wai
"Wong Kar-wai stayed in my 'Yongjia' for 7 years. He can only use it for me, because the scripts he wrote, sometimes can't use a single line, let him change, change it or can't use it. Sometimes it's too late, and I have to shoot a scene on the same day, so I have to write and shoot by myself. But I also knew that he was a talent, and I didn't want to kick him out. I really love and hate him. --Chen Xunqi
Although Wong Kar-wai often dragged out the manuscript, the things he wrote were still of relatively high quality. Most of the early "Yongjia" movies were his ideas, such as "Goodbye to the Yiren", "Dragon Phoenix Wisdom Multi-Star", "Little Fox Fairy" and so on.
At that time, Wong Kar-wai was probably busy with "East Evil and West Poison", but the eldest brother summoned, and the younger brother naturally had the unshirkable responsibility. This "Detective Power's Question of Mi Chasing Murder", the dialogue is very wonderful, it can be said that the golden sentences are repeated, and it is indispensable to come to Wong Kar-wai.
The film is about the major crime team detective POWER Chen (Played by Chen Xunqi) and his partner Little Devil Head (Played by Weng Huide) stirring up an arms deal. Gang leader Thai Tiger (Feng Ke'an) hires a professional killer "Nine-Faced Orphan" (De Liu) to frame POWER Chen through transfiguration. POWER Chen Sui and the little devil head turn to the god mother Sangu (Zeng Zhiwei), who uses the Maoshan technique "Heavenly Eye Pass" to track down the whereabouts of the nine-faced fox...
This film is a hit by Chen Xunqi's fashion action film style, comedy, monsters, martial arts, gunfights, various elements mixed and matched, the temperamental power Chen and the frivolous little devil head caused countless jokes.
Zeng Zhiwei
Weng Huide
The biggest highlight of this film comes from the anti-string performances of Weng Huide and Zeng Zhiwei, which not only has the gender reversed, but also the dubbing is a perfect fit with it. Mature acting skills of Zeng Zhiwei to play the old lady is not a word, the valuable is won by Miss Hong Kong "most photogenic Miss" title of Weng Huide, with her height of 180 + cm, playing a cynical young man without any sense of violation, in the 90s when I first saw this film, I could not see that it was a female anti-string.
Weng Huide, Zhang Min, Qiu Shuzhen, Zhou Huimin
The above is Weng Huide's normal painting style, and standing with Zhang Min, Qiu Shuzhen, Zhou Huimin and several big beauties is not inferior. By the way, she is the wife of "Chang Wei" Zou Zhaolong (Ni Xing).
Von Ke'an
Li Ying
Liu De
The film's action directors are Feng Ke'an and Li Yingyan, both of whom played roles in the film. Feng Ke'an is a senior member of the Chengjia class; Li Ying is ip man's disciple, when Hong Jinbao filmed "The Loser", wing chun adviser was Lai Ying. Coupled with the Hong Kong martial arts team coach Liu De, the action scenes of this film are very exciting.
Kim Mari
Jeff, Wheattown
Several foreign actors in the film are also familiar faces in Hong Kong films, and each has extraordinary skills. It is worth mentioning Kim Maree Penn and Mark Houghton: Kim Marley won a full-contact world karate championship in 1988, and Mai Heton was Liu Jialiang's apprentice.
The above mentioned that the film is "golden sentences", yes, when I saw this film on "closed-circuit television", I smiled forward and backward. After school, there were heated discussions with classmates, and some of the dialogue in the film even became famous school buzzwords. Things like "Not a bubble rash, it's power Chen!" "Self-hypnosis ~~", "Don't, don't touch my MM! "I didn't make an S-movie, big brother!" "Not an AZ hand, it's an AZ fist!" ”...... Although vulgar and vulgar, we have a lot of fun.
Zeng Zhiwei, Chen Xunqi
However, the response to this film after its release was not good. In the mid-1990s, the audience's taste has been very tricky, Chen Xunqi's ten-year style has been slightly old-fashioned, and the ambiguous "play-in-play" beginning of this film, many side-by-side jokes and male and female anti-strings, make it difficult for many viewers to accept, and there are also top-heavy and one-sided problems in the plot. The film was hastily removed five days after its release, and the box office is still less than one million. Chen Xunqi's "Xunqi Film Co., Ltd." was thus completed, and the cooperation with his old partner Li Yingyi became the last. In the late 1990s, Hong Kong films gradually declined, and Chen Xunqi's career also fell into a trough, which is all a later story.
In short, the movie "Detective Power's Question" is bright-paced, easy and witty, with wonderful lines, hard-working actors, and full of the style of old Hong Kong films, which is still very worth watching.
