When Xingye filmed this scene, he was obviously laughing, but the director did not shout the card, so he had to play one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen,

On July 18, 1991, a movie with the "mysterious midnight scene" as a gimmick was officially released in major theaters in Hong Kong. Without the publicity of newspapers and radio, nor the names of the actors and movies, the audience can only see the mystery film by going to the theater to see the posters in person.

When Xingye filmed this scene, he was obviously laughing, but the director did not shout the card, so he had to play one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen,

When everyone is still wondering who dares to be so crazy, this movie with the "mysterious midnight scene" as a gimmick, but in the second week after the release, it broke all the box office records such as "midnight field in Hong Kong", "four o'clock field in Hong Kong", "the first day of opening" and "the first week of release". In the end, with a box office of 43.82 million Hong Kong dollars, it successfully won the annual box office championship in 1991.

This year's Hong Kong film industry is facing an unprecedented crisis, and the emergence of this film has injected vitality into the sluggish Hong Kong films, and even set off a frenzy of Hong Kong and Taiwan competing to shoot campus truancy themes.

Seeing this, everyone may have guessed that this movie that won the 1991 ticket crown with the "mysterious midnight scene" as a gimmick and was later called the originator of the "campus truancy theme" is the "Truant Weilong" series that Dousha wants to talk about today.

Behind the scenes of Hong Kong films, pay tribute to the classics, hello everyone, I am Dousha. It is a pleasure to relive this campus comedy starring Xingye, Uncle Da and Zhang Min with you in the next time. If you also like and revisit this movie many times, remember to give Beansha followers likes and shares.

One day in 1991, Chen Jiashang, a director obsessed with the Flying Tiger genre, suddenly received a dinner call from the owner of Hong Kong's Yongsheng Pictures to Hua Qiang. When he arrived at the hotel as promised, in addition to Xiang Huaqiang, he was greeted by wong Bingyao, a gold-medal screenwriter in the Hong Kong film industry.

Just as the two sides were staggering at the dinner table, Xiang Huaqiang suddenly said to Chen Jiashang solemnly: I now have a script called "Truant Weilong", which is very powerful!

But what surprised Xiang Huaqiang was that Chen Jiashang, who has always been straight, replied directly after listening to the introduction: Listening to this name, I can't imagine how powerful it is!

In the small talk afterwards, Chen Jiashang understood that this very powerful script in the mouth of the boss was originally written by Huang Bingyao, and the idea originated from the story of a foreign policeman going to the school to play a teacher as an undercover agent, and Huang Bingyao's original idea was to make it into a love movie.

Perhaps Chen Jiashang was not interested in the love theme, or perhaps because the incident suddenly did not think of a better idea, the two sides did not reach a specific intention to cooperate.

Just when Chen Jiashang was preparing for the new drama "Flying Tiger", Xiang Huaqiang once again asked him to visit his home. When the wine was full, the two sides talked about truancy Weilong, and also talked about Lin Lingdong's campus trilogy series.

When the four words of "Prison Storm" appeared in Director Chen's mind, he suddenly said to Xiang Huaqiang on the side:

I figured it out! The police don't have to play the teacher, they can be students! You give me the script and I'll write you something new.

A few days later, when Chen Jiashang handed over the script with only 10 lines to Xiang Huaqiang, Xiang Huaqiang directly expressed his attitude with seven words: good looking! OK! do!

So a movie that would later break the annual box office record was put on the agenda.

After getting the investor and the script idea, the biggest problem in front of director Chen Jiashang and producer Wang Jing is who the male protagonist should find to play?

At this time, a movie called "New Jingwumen" was being screened in Hong Kong, and seeing Zhou Xingchi's natural stunt and ridiculous performance in the film, Chen Jiashang immediately said to Xiang Huaqiang: You try to shoot Ah Xing for me. I love this kid and I think he really can.

Perhaps because most of the previous roles were counterattacks of small people, when Zhou Xingchi first received an invitation from Chen Jiashang, he was very confused about his role in "Truant Weilong".

Chen Jiashang saw that Zhou Xingchi was undecided, so he patiently said to him: You are now a big star, and you can no longer play a small person. If you believe me, I can make you a "big hero"!

Perhaps Xingye had long been fed up with repeating himself in a cookie-cutter way, or perhaps he was touched by Chen Jiashang's true feelings, and this time Xingye decided to break through his own role to try more styles. Soon, he agreed to Director Chen's invitation to officially join the truancy crew.

Preach here, bean paste here to debunk a rumor for everyone. Previously, there were rumors that the original male number one was not Zhou Xingchi, but Li Keqin, who was known as the Fifth Heavenly King in Hong Kong at that time, because Chen Jiashang liked the song "Red Sun" very much.

Dousha flipped through many interviews and books about related characters, and never found a real hammer about Li Keqin's truancy series. Coupled with the rapid rise of Dawn and jacky Cheung's career recovery that year, Li Keqin's momentum continued to decline because of discord with the record company.

At this time, Yongsheng Film Company, which is known for its superstar box office, will never agree to use Li Keqin as the male number one of this play. More importantly, at this time, Yongsheng has already put Zhou Xingchi under the door, and the boss, who has always been shrewd, how can he give up his own box office sign and turn around to praise others?

More importantly, the release date of the song is October 1992, which is more than a year away from Chen Jiashang's truant Weilong.

From this, it can be judged that such a rumor is pure nonsense, of course, this is just a word of dousha, and if you have a relevant hammer, you are welcome to add it in the comment area.

From the 83rd edition of "Shooting Eagle" through the nameless Song Bingyi, to the 90s "Gamble Saint" in the popular Zuo Songxing, most of the roles of Xingye in these years are mainly small people. And this time he is going to play the number one killer of the Flying Tigers, what kind of answers will Star Ye give to the fans?

At first, Xingye was very confused about Chen Jiashang's "heroic dream", but when the movie started 10 days later, Chen Jiashang's words made everyone put their hearts into their stomachs.

In order to have a greater breakthrough in the performance style, Chen Jiashang and Xingye can be described as a big effort. Not only did he repeatedly ponder every laugh and action on the set, but he would also run to the printing company to see the shooting effect after the end of the night.

When "Truant Veyron" was officially launched on the 10th day, everyone sat down to enjoy the previous shooting results. When everyone saw Star Ye's nonsensical performance in the play, everyone laughed and leaned forward and backward at that moment. Chen Jiashang said to Lin Chaoxian, an assistant director who sat on the sidelines and later made a big-budget film like "Red Sea Action":

Chao Xian, you see, this play must be in the middle!

But the director who later made "Red Sea Action" was puzzled, looking at Chen Jiashang, who was full of excitement, Lin Chaoxian couldn't help but ask: However, the director we have only been shooting for 10 days!

Perhaps seeing the doubts of the beloved disciple, Chen Jiashang patiently explained to him: The people who laugh every day we watch these days turn over on their horses, not to mention the audience who watch it for the first time. Do you think about it, how many movies have 10 points like this that can make you laugh so much?

Perhaps it was Director Chen's words that made everyone put down their baggage, or perhaps It was Xingye's acting skills that infected everyone present. In the next month or so of shooting, everyone in the crew completely let themselves go.

In particular, the golden pair of Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda is often improvised in the case of temporary drama. Remember the bridge section in the film where Uncle Da and Star Ye were reprimanded by the principal for cheating?

There was no scene in the original script, but Chen Jiashang's temporary addition on the set. Without knowing each other's scripts, Xingye and Uncle Da can only rely on their own understanding of the plot to improvise. Because of this, when Xingye first started performing, he would obviously laugh, and Uncle Da did not hold back after seeing Xingye laughing.

Faced with the embarrassing situation at that time, the golden duo thought that the director would shout cut. But what surprised them was that Chen Jiashang on the side did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and there was no way for the two of them to continue to perform hard.

Later, when looking back at the shooting results, Chen Jiashang felt that this seemingly collapsed scene was very funny, so he did not cut this section in post-editing, but did not expect that after the film was released, it became a classic clip.

Seeing this, DouSha suddenly remembered a sentence in the king of comedy by Xingye: As long as the director does not shout to stop, he will always act. Later, when Uncle Da was 66 years old filming "The Wandering Earth", because he had to wear more than 60 pounds of space suits to hang Weiya every day, the director often shouted to stop in order to take care of Uncle Da's body.

But when Uncle Da, who was breathing heavily, took off his helmet, he didn't think about himself, but said such a sentence: Why don't you continue to shoot?

Perhaps this is the self-cultivation of an actor and the pure heart of acting, and the generation of Star Master and Uncle Da relies on such a dedicated attitude to dedicate countless screen classics to all of our fans.

But with the departure of Uncle Da and the aging of Star Ye, the beliefs that that generation of filmmakers once insisted on seemed out of place in today's era of entertainment supremacy. This confusion is just like the line that Fa Ge said to the fourth brother played by Zeng Jiang in "Blood Double Males":

We are no longer accustomed to this era because we are all too nostalgic...

Although Star Ye contributed countless laughs and baggage in the movie, the most memorable scene of Star Ye in the whole play is the action scene where he kicks off a cigarette with his whip leg on the roof.

Although the scene is only a few seconds of footage, it is very satisfying for Star Ye because it fulfills his wish to pay tribute to his idol Bruce Lee. And Chen Jiashang once sighed after seeing this action of Xingye:

This guy's kung fu is so good, he must be a Bruce Lee fan.

This kind of tribute to the idol has appeared many times in Xingye's later films, and I think this is both a spur on Xingye to not forget his original intention, but also to tell a simple but profound truth to those young people who have been in a low valley like him:

All our perseverance and efforts, but for the opportunity to come one day, we can hold it tightly without hesitation!

In addition to the wonderful performances of Xingye and Uncle Da, the performance of film screenwriter Huang Bingyao is also outstanding. Although he does not play too many scenes in the film, almost every exit is high-energy and golden sentences.

For example, when he arranged the undercover task, he said: I don't want your chastity, I want your youth! Another example is the phrase "kill the scissors and feet to explode your head", which is still regarded as a screen classic by fans today.

But what is surprising is that such a talented screenwriter died of illness the year after the film was released. And it is precisely because of his sudden departure that Chen Jiashang gave up the shooting of truant Weilong 3.

In May 1991, when Chen Jiashang confidently handed over the finished product to the boss, the next sentence to Hua Qiang made him almost collapse! After Xiang Huaqiang watched the finished film, he said to Director Chen: You made a strange film out!

Chen Jiashang, who was originally very confident in the work, was very unconvinced, so he asked rhetorically: What is strange?

Xiang Huaqiang replied patiently: You don't use our (nonsense) comedy model at all, and this movie still owes a scene. I was very happy with that scene, but you didn't shoot it!

It turned out that the scene with the explosive point that Xiang Huaqiang said was exactly the bridge section where Xingye and Uncle Da cooperated in the examination room to cheat. In the original film, Uncle Da was caught after throwing the fruit, but Xiang Huaqiang thought that something more interesting could be added here.

So let Chen Jiashang find a way to make this scene more rich and interesting, facing the pressure of the script to ask for a remake Chen Jiashang discussed with Xingye for a long time, which led to the nonsense brain hole of Huang Bingyao's help cheating in the police station later.

Although he was very unconvinced at first, it was not until the official release of the film that Chen Jiashang understood that Xiang Huaqiang's idea was correct. Because when "Truant Veyron" was released at midnight, it was this scene that laughed the most.

On July 18, 1991, Truant Weilong was officially released in Hong Kong theaters, and once it was released, it swept the major lists of the Hong Kong film industry, and finally won the box office championship in 1991 with a box office performance of 43 million Hong Kong dollars.

That year, the little people at the bottom of the poor area of Kowloon took off. While defeating the once box office myths of Chow Yun Fat and Jackie Chan, it has opened up a new pattern of bi-Mondays that is unprecedented in the history of Hong Kong films.

This time, Zhou Xingxing is no longer the star boy in other people's population, but the unique king of comedy in everyone's mind.

It has been 30 years since the release of "Truant Veyron", and the star on the screen has long changed from a black hair full of collagen youth to today's white hair full of simple.

But unfortunately, there is no film today that can make us laugh from the beginning to the end like the truant Veyron. But whenever we are deeply trapped and physically and mentally exhausted, we will always relive these classic old movies alone in the middle of the night. Then while reminiscing about the former student days, I mourn the ruthlessness of the years!

Perhaps many people have long forgotten most of the plot in the film, but we have never forgotten that in that period of youthful campus time, there is always a Flying Tiger Captain named Zhou Xingxing...
