Xu Zai (Zhang Guorong) is a charming, melancholy and uninhibited young man.

He had always considered himself a footless bird and was reluctant to land on the ground.

So he is cold to every woman and fatal.

He successively picked up the conductor Su Lizhen (Maggie Cheung);

Then when Su Lizhen had a deep affection for him, she withdrew and left.

Later, he meets the dancer Mimi (Liu Jialing);

Mimi is completely captivated by Asahi Tsai, she does not hate Asahi Tsai for doing nothing, and also says the words to raise him.

Asahi was thoroughly irritated by this sentence and drove Mimi out the door.

Xu Tsai and Su Lizhen often quarrel, which attracts the attention of the policeman Chao Tsai (Andy Lau).

Chao Tsai has a crush on Su Lizhen, but knows that he can't really get Su Lizhen's heart.

After the death of his mother, ChaoZai resigned his position and went to run the boat.

Xu Zai was originally raised by his adoptive mother, who had long since left him;

Pay a monthly alimony to the adoptive mother.

Growing up in such an environment, Xu Zai naturally had a sense of insecurity.

Although for other women with thin affection;

But Xu Zai has always been obsessed with his birth mother and wants to see her.

Under his questioning, the adoptive mother finally said the location of Asahi's birth mother.

Mimi sees that Xu Zai is missing, so she goes to ask Xu Zai's good friend Crooked Boy (Jacky Cheung).

Crooked Boy likes Mimi very much, and he tells Asahi that he has gone to the Philippines;

Asahi also gave the key to the car to Crooked Boy.

Crooked Boy likes Mimi, he sells the car, and gives Mimi money to go to the Philippines to find Asahi Tsai;

He also tells Mimi that if he can't find Asahi, he can come back to him.

Asahi went to the Philippines and soon found the address of her birth mother.

However, the birth mother did not want to see her;

Xu Zai did not want to see his birth mother in the curtain, so he decided to leave.

Before returning to Hong Kong, Asahi's passport and money were stolen;

He also formed a vendetta against the local gang.

In a fight, Chao Zai saves Xu Zai.

However, Asahi Tsai is still unable to escape the gang's pursuit, before his death;

Crooked Boy asked the classic question: "Do you remember what you were doing at 3 p.m. on April 16 last year?" ”

Asahi certainly remembers this sentence;

But she asked Chao Tsai to tell Su Lizhen that he didn't remember anymore.

In this way, Xu Zai ended the story on a train in a foreign country.

At the end of the film, another Ah Fei combs his big back;

Stacked banknotes, the story of Ah Fei is continuing.

Al-Le thinks from the script;

The film is actually very slow-paced, and the plot is not vivid.

However, Wong Kar Wai's films never pursue the vivid excitement of the plot;

He only cares about the details, only the feelings.

Through the performance of Zhang Guorong and others, coupled with the tone of the film's literature and art;

The whole film makes the audience feel a faint sadness;

It also makes the audience think in this emotion.

The whole movie is about love;

And the fable of the footless bird in the play has made countless people think deeply about it.

As a typical example of a footless bird, Xu Zai, played by Zhang Guorong, is very attractive to women;

In fact, I have been pursuing love and have been looking for love.

In fact, only Su Lizhen and Mimi know that they love in the film, but unfortunately they love the wrong person.

As the protagonist, Zhang Guorong perfectly played the role of the amorous prodigal son.

However, in the whole film, Zhang Guorong is not too prominent;

This gives Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Maggie Cheung and others room to play.

Therefore, the audience can find their own shadow in the film;

Find your favorite character, that's what good acting does.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="88" > behind the scenes</h1>

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="89" >1. Wong Kar-wai casually said the name of the movie</h1>

General directors attach great importance to the name of the film;

Because this greatly affects the attendance and attention of the film.

"The Legend of Ah Fei" is not original by Wong Kar-wai;

Some foreign directors have already made a movie called "The True Biography of Ah Fei".

Wong Kar-wai's story is completely different from the story of a foreign director;

The reason why he wanted to get this name was nothing more than to increase his attention.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="96" >2. Wong Kar-wai is still shooting without a script</h1>

In Hong Kong, and the superstars such as Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Cheung Kwok Wing, Liu Jialing, Maggie Cheung and Leung Chao Wai can be gathered;

Not an easy task in itself.

Ordinary directors see this lineup and have long held the actors as treasures.

Wong Kar-wai never did this, although he already had a script before filming started;

Yet he often put the script aside.

During filming, he rarely gathered everyone together to read the script.

He would only meet with each actor individually and tell each person's story to the actor.

In fact, in contrast, the information received by each actor is different.

And when making Wong Kar Wai's films, it is useless to memorize the script (because there is no script at all);

Many lines will only be given by Wong Kar-wai when they reach the shooting scene.

Wong Kar-wai said in an interview that he should strictly control the feeling of the film;

So he doesn't give the script, because it will keep the actors from showing deliberate traces.

He wants the actors to be like blank sheets of paper;

If he discovers who brought in his feelings or smuggling;

Then he will keep asking for reshoots.

In fact, the film has been writing a script since 1991;

However, Wong Kar-wai was very fond of changing the script;

So throughout the filming period, Wong Kar-wai was creating a second time.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="113" >4.Liu Jialing was nervous in front of Wong Kar-wai Thanks to Zhang Guorong</h1>

Liu Jialing and Liang Chaowei, as a pair of film lovers, their acting skills have been widely affirmed by all walks of life.

However, under the pressure of Wong Kar-wai's unscripted shooting, the two also lost control.

Liu Jialing said that in the beginning, Wong Kar-wai ignored her and rarely spoke.

So when listening to Wong Kar-wai talk about the play, she always felt nervous, and her body kept shaking.

Zhang Guorong and Liu Jialing are good friends, and he can see Liu Jialing's nervousness.

Therefore, during the filming, Zhang Guorong has always been very concerned about Liu Jialing;

On the serious set, the laughter of Zhang Guorong and Liu Jialing can often be heard.

Wong Kar-wai's films have very high requirements for acting skills;

Andy Lau's acting skills in the early 90s were not yet recognized.

In filming, Andy Lau focused on the expressions of the characters and ignored the body movements;

This made Wong Kar-wai feel very stiff.

Wong Kar-wai thinks that Andy Lau's movements are very abrupt, so he keeps NG.

Andy Lau was hit hard and cried because of it.

However, this play is very big for Hua Tsai's exercise;

In fact, actor NG is also inevitable, there is progress on the line.

Due to the frequent unscripted filming, coupled with the slow pace of the film;

The director is demanding, and these emperor superstars are usually under great pressure.

To get rid of the pressure, some people like to party in the hotel, some people like to see the scenery.

Andy Lau's way of decompression is very unique;

He went to the wet market to buy vegetables and then made his own dishes to eat.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="131" >7. Interesting facts about Zhang Guorong: Cameo as the protagonist</h1>

In the movie, Zhang Guorong was originally a cameo.

It may be that he likes this role too much, and he devotes himself to acting.

Wong Kar-wai also likes Cheung Kwok Wing's state;

Soon after, Wong Kar-wai decided to make Cheung Kwok Wing's Xu Zai the protagonist.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="135" >8.Zhang Guorong's fun fact two: try to lose weight</h1>

Due to the long preparation period, and Zhang Guorong has just finished the tour;

So he went to Canada to recuperate for a while.

After recuperating, he returned to the crew.

When Wong Kar-wai saw that Zhang Guorong had eaten fat, he said loudly, "How can there be such a fat Ah Fei!" ”

Zhang Guorong did not say anything after hearing it;

He immediately struggled to lose weight, losing more than a dozen pounds in a short period of time.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="141" >9. Interesting facts about Zhang Guorong Iii: The first scene is a close-up</h1>

In the first scene where Cheung Kwok Wing buys soda, Wong Kar-wai shares 8 close-up shots.

There are vistas, close-ups of the opponents and the body.

As for why he attaches so much importance to this scene, Wong Kar-wai actually can't say it clearly.

Ah Lele believes that the status of "Ah Fei Zheng Biography" in the Hong Kong film industry is unshakable and unquestionable.

Although it suffered a box office fiasco;

The whole film has gained more and more topics and popularity after the release;

That's the charm of the classic.
