The real protagonist in "Dark Flower" is actually the old man who appeared for less than two minutes at the end of the film - Mr. Hung, as soon as Mr. Hung spoke, Hong Kong was in chaos, and as soon as Mr. Hung appeared, the overall situation was settled. Who is Mr. Hung? He is actually the red Chinese party in the eyes of Hong Kong people.
More than ten years later, Du Qifeng went to the mainland and filmed "Drug War". To show the Hong Kong film from a more intuitive and appropriate perspective, what is even more commendable is that the public relations company in the mainland can actually keep this film with such a high "Hong Kong flavor", you must know that this film must have gone through The Propaganda Department of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Government and the State Bureau of Optometry.
In this film, you can see the killing of the police, the drug-trafficking boats with five-star red flags, the sensual nightclubs and so on. It's hard to imagine how powerful PR firms are. Thanks to it, we can see so many elements of violent aesthetics in a continent where the film rating system has been difficult to produce.
I was a little disappointed by the character setting at the beginning. Sun Honglei, who represented the mainland, once again occupied the side of justice. This is clearly a character with a halo around the main theme. It is destined that the space for actors to play is inherently limited. Of course, Big Brother Sun Honglei We understand that this buddy's acting skills are strong, his skills in stealing dramas are extraordinary, and it's unknown if he wants to perform well. Of course, in the end we found out that he was thinking too much.
After watching the whole drama, we were shocked to realize that Johnnie To actually prefers Louis Koo. The whole drama is about Gu Tianle and Sun Honglei. Whoever wins in the end, I think it is Gu Tianle.
The mainland has to play justice. The role of justice is such a main theme in the mainland, and it is destined to be unsightly. As a criminal, Gu Tianle can be cunning and play cards out of common sense, so there is a lot more room to play. Just like the handover ceremony of Hong Kong's return, China respects the left, and international practice respects the right, so Lao Jiang stood on the left, and the British representative stood on the right.
Especially at the end, when Gu Tianle wiped out the police at the scene, I suddenly felt like watching a pure Hong Kong drama, is it a bit like "Very Suddenly"! ! Although I can't agree verbally, but I think in my heart, if the filming is good, the gangsters don't kill the police, how do you know him? Just like the now-popular anti-Japanese drama, this is beyond the scope of insults, and it is simply strengthening our IQ.
The ability to balance reality and drama, Hong Kong directors are much stronger than mainland directors. Of course, this is not because we can't do it. The system is backward.
Blindly touting Hong Kong directors is also irrational and unscientific. We also had good directors, but they were all basically dead. Referring to the poem by Zang Kejia, some people live, but he dies.
For example, Zhang Yimou, who filmed "Alive", died after filming "Golden Armor". If someone asks me if I've watched "Three Guns" I'll have to bow my head and drink water.
For example, Chen Kaige who filmed "Farewell My Concubine", he was even worse, he died after filming. If someone asks me if I have watched "The Promise", I must go to the toilet with pain.
This is a bit vicious, but it is true that iron is not steel.
The film jointly produced by the mainland and Hong Kong should be a trend. There are many people in mainland China and the market is big, but the department in charge of ideology is seriously lagging behind social development. It can be regarded as a local rich man. Hong Kong movies are good, but there are few people, the film industry is not connected, and the market is shrinking.
History is destined to let the rich man and the lady of the declining aristocracy blend together. Not to mention occupying, there is no question of whether anyone is noble or not. In short, it is just your own wishes, go to bed, get married, and live your life.
We will wait and see where Chinese films will go in the future.
In the end, there is nothing to say. The wheels of history are rolling forward, and whoever stops them will crush whoever. Whether it is Liu Zhijun, who stomped his feet in anger, or Liu Tienan, who had a needle in the office, they will eventually lose to the hanging silks in the Internet age. The broadcasters who are sitting in front of CCTV are also getting older, and the new director began to invite Jay Chou to give speeches at Peking University. Whether you like it or not, the metabolism of history is going on all the time, and whether you like it or not, wait for the post-80s generation When the state power is in control, the film rating system will definitely come into being.
I firmly believe that in my lifetime, I can see Quentin or Robert Rodriguez's disciples come to the mainland to film. Of course, there is no JJ cut by the gangsters of the light buttocks bureau.
