The wonderful performance of the election of the elders of the small circle

I watched the Hong Kong version, the filming was so amazing, I feel that this film is seriously underestimated, and the score should be between 8.5-9.5 points.
The film deduces the operation mechanism of the Hong Kong underworld in which the speaker is elected by the elders of the small circle. After reading Parts 1 and 2, I have concluded a few points:

1. The Talker is the spokesperson and boss of the gang alliance. He stands at the front desk and is in charge of the overall situation, but the Talker, as a descendant, is composed of several prestige elders. Elected by them, the elders are all retired former ministers. They have accumulated prestige in the past, so they feel that they should be respected by future generations. There is still some weight in speaking, but the weight can be large or small.

2. Before holding the election ceremony, the elders need to reach a tacit understanding and decide in advance.

3. If an elder sees an offspring, but has not been approved by all the elders, he will promote the offspring in advance.

4. The gang alliance is prosperous, and the internal faction power balance is what the elders are happy to see. If there is an unstable person who is still very prominent and affects the unity and stability of the alliance, the elders will recommend a second child to come out as a talker to balance the situation.

5. The process of determining the successor by default is also the process of competition among candidates. Candidates are all fighting to win. The process of competition is often a chat and fight. The better result is that everyone reached a tacit understanding without fighting; the unfortunate situation is to kill each other, and the remaining strong person becomes the successor. This is a bloody and violent process, after all, it is a triad.

6. There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests, including individual interests and collective interests. In the process of PK just now, the opponent killed his godfather and horse boy, and now he has become a talker, in order to win over the other side for peace, he shook hands with his opponent and made blood alliances.

8. Director Du played a political metaphor, and told the essence of how the leader of a certain world invincible gang came into being. . . Made for God, deeply inspired.

    It should be the most vivid show of Boss Du's directing skills. Leung Ka Fai is a stealer, no wonder he takes the best actor
