The emotional plot design is the biggest highlight of the film. The character Lai Hao in the film also has a deeper symbolic meaning. The plot design is very important for the film. It is often difficult to guess the ending of the plot after seeing the beginning. Engage the audience's senses. The reason why "Chasing the Dragon" has been well received is because it is relatively novel and emotional in terms of plot design, which can give the audience a bright feeling. At the same time, the setting of the character image of the lame man in the film also has a relatively profound meaning. The lame man Wu Shihao and his brother smuggled from Chaozhou to Hong Kong to survive. They got to know and support each other with Inspector Lai Luo. Be the leader. He seems to have done many things that hurt the society, but his personal character is justice, fraternity, and righteousness. Therefore, people's impression of him is not bad, but good. This kind of emotional plot design can enhance the curiosity of the audience, and the final fate of the characters can affect the nerves of the audience, which can also prove the intrinsic value of the film. In fact, the director injected a strong symbolic meaning into the film. The metaphor of chasing the dragon is drug addiction. White powder is put on the tin foil and heated to smoke. In the film, the two legendary characters, whether they are underworld or white, all resort to pornographic gambling. Poison makes a fortune, but also has its meaning. The crippled hero has the word righteousness in the first place, and is willing to stick a knife in both sides for his brother. He played his position in the underworld with his aggressiveness, and at the same time, he became famous by the momentum of helping each other with Lai Luo. The ruthless and bloody pride of the lame man was extremely wonderful. In my opinion, the plot design of "Chasing the Dragon" is not conventional. On the one hand, we can see the helplessness of people living in Hong Kong under British rule in the 1960s and 1970s. In the era, there will always be a few heroes born. The production structure and plot setting of the film are very ingenious. Born in such an era, Lame Howard believes in "life and death have destiny, and wealth is in the sky."

    The action scenes are more down-to-earth, funny and high-level, the actors' acting skills are amazing, and the BGM is not wrong. As a Kowloon Walled City controller, I was so excited by the long shot that went all the way into the depths of the Walled City to the point of kneeling; as a Hong Kong film controller, I can say that I am very satisfied with Chasing the Dragon. Finally, I want to say that every girl who grows up watching Hong Kong movies has a little flower alive in her heart, and when she grows up, she is a rose.

    What makes Wang Jing smart and insightful is that he knows what is good and how to tell the story. Now the audience will like it, and then use it for his own use; but the shooting techniques and the way of emotional expression are still very old-fashioned, and there is no progress. It's like a student who has been lazy for many years suddenly decided to work hard, but crammed a good score on the test, and there is still a big gap compared with his real ability.
