April 27, 2021, is the fifteenth anniversary of the release of "Underworld: Peace is Precious".
This peak of Du Qifeng's work, together with the first episode, has been repeatedly interpreted and studied for several years, and the plots of the two films not only show the change of order after the return, but also predict the current reality, and the two "Underworld" almost confirm the change of an era.
There are many characters in the whole series, and many classic characters are talked about, and one of the characters with the identity of "inlander" is quite interesting, that is, You Yong (now known as You Yongzhi) played a few roles that are not many, but they are impressive. Why Du Qifeng wanted him to appear in all corners of the film from time to time, and played a crucial role. Today I will take you to find out.
You Yong's first appearance is in the middle of the first episode of "Underworld", where he plays "Total Dui", and he stages an opponent scene with Shi Ye Su, played by Zhang Zhaohui, asking him about the whereabouts of the dragon head stick. From this dialogue, we can see the history of this character: You Yong was assigned to Hong Kong as an undercover agent by the organization before 97, and after the mission was completed, the upgrade changed from "big circle leopard" to "total dui", which is completely different from the tragic undercover situation of Hong Kong Chen Yongren.
In the worship ceremony after Le Shao and Big D talked, You Yong also appeared, because at this time Le Shao was elected as the speaker, and the power group with Ah Le as the core had been established, and the role of this role also meant that the mainland was clear about the movement of "Helian Sheng".
In the second episode, "Peace is Precious". "Helian Sheng" is facing a two-year change, and at this time, You Yong has also been upgraded from "total dui" to "ting chief".
Before the appearance of the deputy director Shi Ting, played by You Yong, he first staged a speech on the rules of Hongmen at the beginning of the film. (Also represents the establishment of the power group, so the same actor is used)
"Peace is Precious" title ↑
You Yong gave a speech with the founder of Liansheng 100 years ago, and the various tangkou and the word "peace is precious" (which can be understood as republican), and the power group with the main group of each tangkou as the core was established. Teach the helpers to "not resort to force unless you have to." "Let every member of the church have something to follow, no longer a ragtag crowd."
In the first year of Xuan Reunification, Heikoren went to Hong Kong to promote the Hongmen culture, and co-opted the previously loose and hostile community organizations, formulated unified rules, formed a unified organization, and used "peace is precious" as a spiritual culture. Admonished the crowd, "In case of friction, you need to specify a time to duel between male and female." And "Regardless of whether you win or lose, don't alarm the government."
This speech by Hei Bone Ren simply and clearly presents the most important gang rule of Hongmen, "Peace is precious", and finally summarizes the statement - "As brothers of the same door, we should value peace." We should add one to the name of each church: and."
As the title slowly came out, the picture was scarlet.
Later, You Yong appeared in the film as Deputy Director Shi, and under the introduction of Lao Xu, the "new record" speaker, he met for the first time with Jimmy Boy, who is currently the most powerful and low-key of "Helian Sheng". Deputy Director Shi asked him if he was interested in being the person who said "He Liansheng", Jimmy Boy denied it for the sake of "innocence", and Deputy Director Shi immediately revealed the news that Shi Ye Su would be arrested in a few days, as if intentionally or unintentionally implying something...
After hinting that Jimmy had replaced Le Shao as the new speaker, Deputy Commander Shi seized Jimmy when he went to the mainland for illegal transactions and took him into his room to lobby. The lines are also very interesting, from the first episode of "Find a dress for him to wear", to here it becomes "Do you want to find someone to get you a pair of shoes?" ”
Jimmy boy wondered why Lao Xu of the "New Record" was also black, so he could come to the mainland to do business. Later, under the "briefing" of Deputy Director Shi, Jimmy Boy also went from "no need" at the beginning to "Am I the talker, what can I do?" ”
After a fierce power struggle, Le Shao was dealt with by jimmy boy who was "magic high" and successfully became a talker.
At the end, Deputy Commander Shi asks Jimmy to learn the same hereditary as the "New Record" - "from generation to generation" to ensure that the people selected in the future are "obedient" and hope that "we will always value peace between us". (Demand that Jimmy Boy turn Helian Sheng into a dictatorship and no longer choose according to tradition)
At this point, Jimmy Boy became a mainland puppet of the power group officially established, learned the truth of Jimmy Boy issued a "do not want to be a gu confused boy" shouts non-stop and hit the deputy director of Shi Ting, and then fell to the ground overwhelmed, Shi vice president turned his back on the mountain, said two words to Jimmy Boy: Thank you for cooperation.
The theme of the two "Underworld" runs through the whole process, the system has changed, but the ultimate goal is unchanged - to make the society more stable and prosperous. From "total dui" to "Hongmen ceremony participants" to "red qi five brothers" to "deputy stone chief", the core of Du Qifeng's expression is self-evident.
And the dragon head stick, which symbolizes the ancient tradition and the hongmen gang rules, was also buried and passed away with Deng Bo and that era...
