"Tiger Out", produced by New Art City in 1988. Director Liu Jialiang, starring Chow Yun Fat, Lee Won-ba, Li Zhi. This film is the first gunfight action film directed by Liu Jialiang. With the strong cooperation of New Art City, Liu Jialiang and Chow Yun Fat, the film grossed 27 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking fifth in the box office rankings that year.
"Seven Monsters of New Art City"
Cinema City co.ltd.) Hong Kong Productions, referred to as "New Art City", was founded in September 1980 by Mak Ka, Wong Pak Ming and Shek Tin and is affiliated with Golden Princess Entertainment Limited. Mai Jia, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming, Xu Ke, Shi Nansheng, Zeng Zhiwei, and Teddy Robin formed a seven-person creative group, known as the "Seven Monsters of New Art City". In the early days, the "Seven Monsters of New Art City" brainstormed and made a large number of acclaimed and popular films such as the "Best Partner" series, "Little Fear", "Happy Ghost" series, "Dao Ma Dan", "A Lang's Story" and so on.
On the other hand, after the film giant "Shaw" entered the 80s, internal and external troubles finally announced the suspension of production in 1987, and a large number of Shaw employees went their separate ways. Big director Liu Jialiang joined the new art city with a vote of little brother. However, at this time, there was also a big problem in the new art city: the "seven monsters of the new art city" were talented and arrogant. After the company gradually grew, it soon became divided due to uneven dividends and different ideas. By 1990, New Art City had finally fallen apart. In this short period of three years, Liu Jialiang once again lost his patron after directing three works ("Tiger Out", "New Best Partner", "Tiger Out More 2").

The film tells the story of two police officers fighting drug dealers. Male No. 1 is played by Zhou Run. At this time, Zhou Runfa had already relied on "The True Colors of Heroes" to get rid of the title of "box office poison" two years ago, and the resources were many and good. "Dragon and Tiger Storm", "Hardcover Chasing Girls", "Prison Storm", "Autumn Fairy Tale" and many other different types of excellent films have shown his excellent acting skills. However, in the movie "Tiger Out", the role he plays is annoying. Frivolous, arrogant, timid, frightened by a pistol, and wet his pants. After that, he became very brave, but this transformation did not pave the way. The most uncomfortable thing is the part where he beats Li Zhi violently, which will be discussed in detail below.
Male number two Li Yuanba. In 1982, Li Yuanba was promoted by Wu Siyuan and became popular with the kung fu film "Dragon Ninja", becoming a cash cow for many film dealers. Li Yuanba was overwhelmed and even hinted at the gangsters to "get Wu Siyuan." As a result, Wu Siyuan was beaten to the point of serious injury and nearly lost his life. After the incident broke out, Li Yuanba had no drama to film, so he had to return to the United States to avoid the limelight, and only returned to Hong Kong five years later. Although Wu Siyuan is no longer investigated, his past of "two or five boys" has probably become an indelible impression of people.
After several years of precipitation, Li Yuanba seems to cherish this opportunity, whether it is literary drama or martial arts, his performance is remarkable, and he is not suppressed by Zhou Runfa's momentum at all. However, with his appearance, fans really can't help but think of Jackie Chan. At this time, Jackie Chan has been blessed with many classic movies such as "A Plan", "Fast Food Truck", "Police Story", "Dragon Heart", "Dragon Brother tiger brother" and so on, and it is too difficult for Li Yuanba to think of a sudden rise.

Xiong Xinxin used liu jiahui as a stand-in
At the end of the film, Xiong Xinxin made another cameo appearance
The villains are played by Xu Shaoqiang, Liu Jiahui and Gao Fei, of which Liu Jiahui has the most scenes, which shows Liu Jialiang's love for this "brother". Liu Jiahui was a proper A-list male star when he was in Shaw's, starring in many kung fu films such as "Lu Acai and Huang Feihong", "Chinese Husband", "Shaolin Thirty-Six Rooms", "Wuguan" and so on. With the decline of The Shaw family, Liu Jiahui's star path gradually dimmed. In addition to starring in some B-grade films, almost all other marginalized characters such as killers, thugs, and neurotics are a pity. It is worth mentioning that in this film, many of his difficult actions were completed by Xiong Xinxin, who was unknown at the time, as a stand-in.

The appearance of Dillon and Jiang David can be seen as a tribute to Liu Jialiang's "Shaw Era". In addition, there are cameos by Huang Xia, Cheng Kui'an, Shen Dianxia, Wu Ning and others. Wu Ning was the third runner-up of Miss Asia in 1986, and the champion of that year was the heroine of the film, Li Zhi.

Lee Chi
Wu Ning
Lee Chi was born in Shanghai on December 31, 1961 and moved to Hong Kong with his father in 1981. Her first job in Hong Kong was as a salesman. In order to chase her acting dreams, she auditioned at New Art City Film Company, but was turned away because of "too soil". In 1982, she made a cameo appearance in the Shaw comedy "Chasing The Thirty-Six Rooms", only to appear at the end of the film.
"Chasing the Thirty-Six Rooms"
In 1983, Lee Chi went to the University of San Francisco to study business economics. During the holidays of 1986, Lee Chi participated in the 2nd Miss Asia contest held by Asia Television Hong Kong, won the "Miss Asia" of the year, and represented Hong Kong in the Asia-Pacific beauty pageant, winning the "Best National Costume Award", "Most Photogenic Miss" and "Miss Peace" 3 awards, and entered the top five in the finals.
Flowers and honors, however, followed by exclusion and criticism. The media wantonly exaggerates the identity of Li Zhi's "North Sister", coupled with her non-standard Cantonese, and has been ridiculed by native Hong Kong people. In 1987, Li Zhi attended the "Thousand Grains Star Charity Concert", the organizers originally arranged for Zhou Runfa and Zeng Zhiwei to throw cakes at each other to create an atmosphere, and Li Zhi was a "notary", but Zhou Runfa directly threw a whole cake on Li Zhi's face, which made Li Zhi very embarrassed. Later, Li Zhi cried in the background, and was seen by Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong, who were also resting in the background, and only Zhang Guorong walked over to comfort her and feel sorry for her.
Li Zhi and Zhang Guorong
It is said that no video materials were released for this concert for "political reasons", and this past was only passed on by word of mouth. However, with Fu Fat's understanding of the Hong Kong film and television circle, it is also possible for Zhou Runfa to make an unusual move; and Zhang Guorong's kindness is also well known.
"The Dragon at the End of the World"
"Vowing not to forget love"
After becoming a "ya sister", Li Zhi successively starred in "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley", "Tiger Out of the Change", "Extramarital Affair", "Warbler Dance", "Dragon Drama Phoenix", "Beautiful Foot 100 Points", "Red Square Flying Dragon", "Qiannu Ghost III Dao Dao", "Dragon and Tiger Brothers of the Four Families", "Tibet Boy", "Double Dragon Society" and so on. It is worth mentioning that 1989's "The Dragon at the End of the World" is the promise of Li Zhi and Jet Li. After filming "Never Forget Your Love" in 1992, Li Zhi announced his official withdrawal from the entertainment industry.
Lee Chi classic character
If you count "Chasing Women Thirty-Six Rooms", Li Zhi's film experience is exactly ten years. In this decade, she has participated in a total of thirty movies, except for the first "Chasing Women Thirty-Six Rooms" and the last "Never Forget Love", she played almost all the vase roles of showmanship. She is already full of disgust for the label that the Hong Kong film industry has attached to her. Even in "Never Forget Your Love", Zhang Zhiliang gave her one of the most challenging roles since the film (deaf and dumb), and she did a good job, but all this did not keep her.
Back in the movie "Tiger Out", Li Zhi played a vase role as usual. Originally, meimei was very good, but Wan did not expect that there was a violent scene against her in the 55 minutes of the film, and the perpetrator was the police officer played by Chow Yun-fat. This scene lasted for three minutes, Zhou Runfa's viciousness was unacceptable, and Fu Fat really couldn't bear to post a screenshot. In fact, this scene is very abrupt, not necessary for the development of the plot, on the contrary, it makes the character shaping more blunt, completely like a hard addition. I don't know whether this is the idea of the screenwriter Zeng Guoci, the director Liu Jialiang or the big guy in the new art city, in short, in Fu Fat's view, this violent scene is full of malice. Later, Fu Fat saw a word in the aftermath of a foreign film fan, which was enough to describe this ugly psychology: "misogyny" (misogyny).
above.
Fu Fat is deeply upset about What happened to Li Zhi. In connection with the above-mentioned media questioning and "throwing cake" incident for her "Ya Sister" to win the championship, it is no wonder that she is full of disgust for the entertainment industry. Later, it was said that Lizhi investment failed, owed a huge debt, had to seek perfection, and continued to repeat the performance of "vase" in the movie. Until she met Jet Li, the two worked together to repay the debt, and she withdrew from the film industry in a categorical manner, and since then she has rarely appeared in the face of her husband and son.
Zhou Runfa
Liu Jiahui, Li Yuanba
Finally, let's sum up the movie "Tiger Out". Although this is Liu Jialiang's first time directing a gunfight film, the scene scheduling and action design are very exciting. In particular, at the end of the film, Zhou Runfa's shotgun and Li Yuanba vs Liu Jiahui's chainsaw battle are tense and exciting, and full of ornamentation. Coupled with the many previous comedy bridges, if you can throw away the "misogyny" component, this film can be said to be a very good movie.
