To say that today's directors on both sides of the strait and three places just want to circle money and do not seek progress, it is too much
But just eating the old money is not self-motivated, and can also circle money, and the estimate of big money is only him
That's right, Wang Jing, an iconic figure from the heyday of Hong Kong cinema in the '90s, is still one of the most lucrative directors
However, the most crucial thing is that unlike the comedy master who led Hong Kong films in the 90s, Wang Jing is now the king of bad films
Not only did he eat his old books in the early years, but even Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau, the flagship figures of Hong Kong movies, were pulled by him to eat the old books, and they were all going to be late
Looking at what "Macau Storm" series and "Ace Teasing Ace" in recent years, it really feels good heartache
It is not at all the Wang Jing who can make people laugh from beginning to end and watch a film many times when she was a child
It reminds me of the 1993 city hunter, which was also directed and written by him.
If Wang Jing had half the heart or half the standard when she made this movie, she would not have become the current bad film king
Without further ado, I solemnly recommend it to you after watching this "City Hunter" for the 11th time
The plot of the film is very simple, and it is Wang Jing's most skilled type for all ages
Jackie Chan's private investigator Meng Bo received a commission from the Tokyo newspaper king to bring back his daughter who ran away from home safely
Under the wrong circumstances, he boarded the Rich Maru Cruise Ship
But on this ship, not only tourists, but also terrorists who come to armed robbery
Dawn, a gambling master who can play handsome kung fu
The beautiful policewoman Qiu Shuzhen who goes undercover on the boat, the daughter of the newspaper king, Kumiko Goto, and Wang Zuxian, who goes on a vacation with her cousin because of gambling with Jackie Chan
A man with multiple women, this is a typical Jackie Chan movie style
However, if you zoom in on it into the whole movie, you will find that this is not typical of Jackie Chan's style
In fact, wang jing was best at the comedy style at her peak
Jackie Chan is just the most in line with the lustful and playable character in Wang Jing's shot
Not only the role of Jackie Chan, but more importantly, the collective flash of a number of supporting characters
In addition to the several beauties and dawn mentioned above, there is also the obscene big cousin played by Shan Liwen
The one who can hit and be cute
Ge Minhui and Lin Haifeng's DJ brothers
There are also gay terrorists played by Lu Huiguang and so on
Every character is shining, and even though on average it may not be too much for each person, but each one is impressive enough
After the ship starts, the terrorists begin to act, and the main body of the story begins, which can be summarized in one sentence
It is nothing more than a confrontation between the Jackie Chan side and the terrorist side
However, such a simple plot has densely arranged many laugh points, and has also produced a number of classics that are famous enough to stay in the history of film
For example, the scene where Jackie Chan singles out a few black people in the movie theater, and Bruce Lee's strength to grab the camera
And then in the game hall to cross into the arcade battle into the game console, I think no one will not remember it, this is the happiest memory fragment of childhood
There is also the clip of Jackie Chan holding Qiu Shuzhen and shooting, which is also evocative
You can't count the number of shots that are too classic to count
Whether it is Wang Zuxian, Qiu Shuzhen or Goto Kumiko, although the style is different, how to look at it is more beautiful than the beautiful women who are now piling up on the screen, beautiful and recognizable
Wang Jing's comedy is a comedy of the masses, and to put it bluntly, it is a vulgar comedy
Although sometimes there will be too much exaggeration and sexual hints, but it is a good comedy to make people laugh, and Wang Jing at that time understood mass psychology and popular culture
He knows what makes people easy and what makes people laugh
Know how to subtly construct humor through the setting of the plot
And today's Wang Jing seems to have all these skills taken away by God, even if people's aesthetic needs have changed, but those classic Wang Jing-style humor skills are only left to pretend to be crazy and stupid
So when I looked at Zhou Runfa and was still pretending to be crazy and stupid, I really looked embarrassed and committed
Wang Jing's era has passed, and the new comedy film successor is gradually maturing
With the passage of time and the aging of people, Wang Jing's name will be gradually forgotten by the audience, but the happiness he once brought to us will always remain in the heart
When you are tired and depressed, then turn out this "City Hunter" to see, believe me, all the unpleasantness will disappear, and good memories will resurface in front of you
