The most eye-catching thing about the National Day file is probably that there are too many bad films that almost make people lose confidence in Wang Jing's "Chasing the Dragon"! However, this time, Wang Jing actually did not adhere to the usual routine of eating old books and destroying old dramas, but played a good card of the big drug lord Lame Hao and the half-billion Inspector Leiluo.
In the current state of the continuous downturn of Hong Kong films, the momentum of the old Hong Kong films has been taken out, just like the comments of netizens, all overheated, all crazy, let us return to that turbulent era, truly restore the life situation at that time, shoot the taste of epic gangster films, and feel the iron-blooded tenderness of the two males!
26 years ago, only thirty-year-old Andy Lau and Wu Mengda, Zhang Min filmed a "five hundred million inspector Leiluo biography", of course, this drama has also achieved a classic role of Hua Tsai, many people have seen the shadow of "The Godfather", as the peak of the history based on real people, 26 years later, or Andy Lau, still Leiluo's role, still a comparison, Hua Tsai is still so handsome!
No wonder Wang Jing would say that Andy Lau is the best candidate for Leiluo, there is nothing wrong with this. Compared with the "Biography of Leiluo" that year, Andy Lau has more calm and calm, especially the inner drama shows the strength of the Heavenly King.
Speaking of this Inspector Leiluo, he was originally a real historical figure with his own point of view, and since he is a real person, his most cattle place is that although he is no longer in the jianghu, the jianghu still has his legend. He was the chaotic tyrant who had not been sunk in the tide of the times at that time!
Last year's Academy Award-winning best film "Tree Trick" tells the story of the three thieves in the 1990s. Today's "Chasing the Dragon" has also circled back to the two fierce roles in Hong Kong in the 60s and 70s, Leiluo has always been one of the synonyms of Hua Tsai, and this time the big drug lord Lame Hao is played by Zhen Zidan.
In this drama, xiaobian found that Zhen Zidan still has acting skills, and "Ip Man" is still very different, with an old curly hair, not so handsome when fighting, but it is because of this detail processing that the character is more real.
And before Lu Liangwei played the lame Hao Zhuyu in front, now look at it is still full of anger, "Lame Hao" film is based on the Hong Kong drug lord Wu Xihao, which thoroughly shows his history of prosperity and decline.
The film's strong personal style and daring spirit impressed the hong Kong Film Awards jury, and the film won best picture and best screenplay in 1992.
And Zhen Zidan compared to Lu Liangwei, a little more righteous, after all, Zhen Zidan's "Ip Man" is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but if you see the photos in reality, it must be difficult to connect with the gang boss, and the body and physique are far from the kung fu stars...
The lame hao prototype Wu Xihao at that time from the worst HaoZi to the small and powerful Hao Brother to the famous gangster boss, relying on one hand and one foot to slowly lay down the Jiangshan, he mixed out the name of lame Hao, the drug business spread all over the world, and when he was arrested, the drugs he sold were as high as 450 million.
What concept has never been seen before, even in prison, there is no less power, and the filming of the biopic of "Lame Hao", because he failed to obtain the consent of Wu Xihao, Ma Dangxiong rarely apologized at the beginning of the film!
But in fact, more arrogant than this Wu Xihao is Lu Le, who is a policeman, and the point of similarity to Lame Hao is also a foreigner, leaving his hometown, with no money and no background, from a small street patrol policeman to Inspector Hua, both of whom rely on strength! At that time, because of the fire of "Lame Hao", the Xiang brothers thought of shooting Lü Le's biopic, and this archetypal character only prescribed the condition that he could not use his real name, which became the later "Leiluo Biography".
epilogue
This time", "Chasing the Dragon" used the formula of lame Hao and Leiluo, even if wang Jing, the king of bad films, still many people can't refuse, especially Andy Lau from a small fresh meat 26 years ago, into a male middle-aged man with a slightly vicissitudes story, casting, Wang Jing also played memory to kill a lot of other old drama bones who starred in "Lame Hao" and "The Legend of Leiluo", the old face with the same frame of the sigh plus the surprise brought to us by Ip Man, to put it bluntly, this pair of black and white double male moves is the biggest attraction!
