In the hot summer, the Olympic athletes let us feel the strength of China, like the wind of the man Su Bingtian, 100 meters 9 seconds 83; Zhang Yufei alone into the account of 4 medals;
Little cute Chen Yingsha hung Ito Mimako; although the Chinese women's volleyball team did not qualify for the quarterfinals, it swept through Italy and Argentina 3:0 and played the spirit of the women's volleyball team.
In addition to cheering for Chinese athletes, as a Hong Kong film lover, I will take this opportunity to introduce several Sports-themed Hong Kong films.
01, "Flying Antelope" - athletics
Asian flyer Su Bingtian, the first Chinese athlete to reach the men's 100m final of the Olympic Games, yyds!
Although "Flying Antelope" is a track and field work, it is not a professional sports film, more like a youth inspirational film, to show youth, the overall smooth and good-looking.
The film is produced by New Art City, directed by Zheng Zeshi, and starring Zheng Wenya and Yuan Jieying, Luo Mingzhu, Li Zi, Chen Jialing, and Bai Annie of the Happy Girls Group.
Yuan Jieying has an excellent temperament, can play the big sister in "Happy Ghost", or she can be a weak sister paper, at that time, Li Zi was a bit black, and she could not recognize it if she did not look carefully;
The other actors are all short-haired, plain-looking, looking young and energetic, which is incomparable to many actors now.
It is worth mentioning that Zheng Wenya, who plays the coach, is a high jumper in real life and was the holder of the Hong Kong women's high jump record from 1978 to 1980.
02, "Youth Spark" - volleyball
There has always been a kind of touch, called the spirit of the women's volleyball team, I don't know how to inspire generations of Chinese, the girls of that year were for the glory of the country, and now more is the style of the game.
Although this time did not qualify for the quarterfinals, but in the last two games, the girls left their baggage, tried their best, and played the sportsmanship that they should have, girls, good looks!
"Youth Spark" is based on the Japanese TV series of the same name in the 70s, directed by Qian Yongqiang, co-starring Li Ruotong, Er Dongsheng, Fan Yimin, Chen Shaoxia, Xu Haochen, etc. Is a film of youth and blood.
The story of the film is not vulgar, not bloody, only youth, friendship, inspiration, at first they were defeated, the players had no tacit understanding, and the coach was angry to run away.
But they did not give up on themselves, found a coach (Er Dongsheng) again, and then put down the quarrel between the team members, put aside everything, and fought, just like the current women's volleyball girls, which was touching.
03, "Guild Wars" - boxing
Boxing theme is very common in movies, "Guild Wars" is one of the leaders, directed by Lin Chaoxian, starring Zhang Jiahui and Peng Yuyan, fighting scenes make people's blood boil, and literary dramas have laughter and tears.
The best part to watch is the MMA part, whether it is training or the field, seeing the muscles of Zhang Jiahui and Peng Yuyan, it fell in an instant. The most impressive line: Afraid, you will lose for a lifetime!
The film is a double inspiration, one is a former boxer, the other is a slightly decadent bankruptcy rich second generation, but they did not choose to give up, and the two masters and apprentices finally healed each other.
In addition to "Guild Wars", Hong Kong films with boxing themes include Dillon Jiang David's "Boxing", Andy Lau's "A Hu", Jet Li's "Huo Yuanjia", Aaron Kwok's "Romantic Storm", Gu Tianle's "Pupil of the Beast" and so on.
04, "Breaking the Wind" - bicycle
Since Lin Chaoxian and Peng Yuyan are mentioned, how can they get this bicycle-themed "Breaking the Wind".
Peng Yuyan is very suitable for starring in this kind of youthful, hot-blooded image, to some extent, covering up the shortcomings in acting, like the image of beard pulling in "Tropical Past", or less challenges.
The film is simple and direct, it is an inspirational film of positive energy, falling down is not terrible, the important thing is to get up again, every game is thrilling, coupled with explosive music, each sprint is adrenaline rushing.
In addition to the competition scenes, the love line is also handled very well, extra romantic, and at the same time, it can also be used as a landscape film, following the contestants to tour the Suhua Highway, the Eye of Kaohsiung, the winding road in the Tengger Desert, etc., which is really beautiful.
05, "Head Text D" - racing
After the "Infernal Affairs" series caught fire, the team behind the scenes turned their heads and filmed "Head Text D", bringing together the most beautiful and personalized faces of the new generation at that time.
Zhou Dong's acting skills are young, but his popularity is high, Teacher Chen's appearance is peak, Yu Wenle and Chen Xiaochun are also outstanding, and he still remembers that line: Tonight at eight o'clock, see you in QiumingShan.
If "Head Text D" is summed up in one word, it is "cool", full of elements such as blood, adolescence, racing competition, trend, personality, etc. The film should have a good look, and it must have a burning point.
When it was released that year, many people complained that it was far from the manga, lacking different styles of competition scenes, and flowing pictures flowing on appearances.
After more than ten years, now look at "Head Text D", it seems to have become a classic, but unfortunately it has not waited for the second part. If the remake is remade, how many people in the circle can meet the conditions today?
Of course, the racing theme also includes Jackie Chan's "Thunderbolt Fire", Chow Yun Fat's "A Lang's Story", Andy Lau's "Fire Chariot" and so on.
06. "Judo Dragon and Tiger List" - Judo
Some time ago, I heard the news that the CC version of the Blu-ray of the "Judo Dragon and Tiger List" will be released in September, and I fried the pan in the fan circle, and finally waited.
The name of the movie is easy to dissuade people, and it is not the most well-known in Du Qifeng's works, but it is Du Qifeng's favorite, one is to pay tribute to the idol Kurosawa Akira, and the other is to give everyone four words: positive life.
The film is an inspirational film, giving people a hopeful road, in the movie Situ Bao may not be able to restore his eyesight, tony may not be able to become a judo master, Xiao Meng may not be popular in Japan, but what are these, as long as they have been running, have been moving forward, one day will reach the other shore.
The most classic scene is naturally three people stacking arhat balloons under the tree, and the silent performance is worth a thousand words, and every time they see this paragraph, they will burst into tears.
07, "Uncle Against the Current" - Dragon Boat
On the surface, it is an inspirational film, but in fact it is a realistic theme, people are not as good as dogs in middle age, about family, career, ideals, there are too many bitterness and helplessness.
But this group of uncles do not admit defeat, their dignity to earn back, the whole film has laughter, there are tears, although the final ending is not a reunion, but this is not life, if life is not bumpy, it is not called life.
The fighting spirit of Wu Zhenyu, Huang Debin and Pan Canliang is exactly the spirit of Hong Kong Lion Rock, and we must enjoy the process of pursuing the life process of going up against the current.
08. "The King of Chess" - Chess
This is a very special Hong Kong film, Xu Ke and Yan Hao will be the two novels of the same name "Chess King", fused into a movie, the content of the novel is completely different, but they use parallel interlacing techniques, the two stories grafted together, very interesting.
Although full of creativity, the content is not well balanced, the mainland part is very well filmed, and the Taiwan provincial part is somewhat loose and exaggerated.
Leung Ka Fai contributed textbook acting skills in this film, eating white rice, eating the feeling of a full Han chinese seat, and a very sacred feeling.
It is worth mentioning that in the next year's Academy Awards, Leung Ka Fai was nominated for the film emperor with "The King of Chess" and "92 Black Roses vs. Black Roses", and unexpectedly, in the end, it was "92 Black Roses vs. Black Roses" that won.
09. "Descendants of the Dragon" - billiards
Zhou Xingchi's early works, many places pay tribute to Bruce Lee, such as Yuanhua, who is Bruce Lee's disciple, and the posture of several people beating the villain at the end.
In addition to the nonsense, the film also shows billiards technique, most of which was done by world champion Jimmy White, who later recalled that the film was shot for a whole week, and after shooting, he did not know what to shoot.
But this did not affect his love for "Descendants of the Dragon", which he would take out and watch from time to time, and it is said that he watched it dozens of times.
In real life, Jimmy White and Zhou Xingxing have also become good friends, and it is not known whether Xingye's billiards skills are taught by him.
10. Shaolin Soccer - Football
Although the football is played very poorly, "Shaolin Football" has to mention that let Xingye teach us: the ball is not kicked like this.
"Shaolin Football" can be described as a twist and turn, it is difficult to find funds, the mainland cannot be released, and Zhou Xingchi and the investors are fighting lawsuits.
But aside from all this, "Shaolin Soccer" was a success, not only was it a box office hit, but Zhou Xingchi also won the Academy Awards Film Emperor Trophy, and was also bought by the European Cup and repeatedly played on the World Cup stadium.
I don't know how many times I've seen the movie, the classic lines in the film can be blurted out, if you don't have a dream, what is the difference between that and salted fish; you hurry back to Mars, the earth is a very dangerous drop; I hit you, don't beat you sad! A fire in my heart will not be extinguished.
There are also many scenes of the spoof games in Hong Kong films, such as "Happy Ghost", "Super School Overlord", "Fang Shiyu", etc., which are also very interesting, and finally I wish the Chinese athletes to compete in themselves and style. (Written by: The Little Prince)
