Chapter 308: The Dog's Tail Continues to Move
Compared with the classic of Hero True Colors 1, Hero True Colors 2 is much inferior, but this inferiority also depends on who it is compared with, and it is naturally inferior to Hero True Colors 1, but compared with other movies, Hero True Colors 2 is not inferior at all.
Especially in the past two years, hero films have followed the trend very seriously, but they are all bad, don't want it, and now the sequel directed by Wu Yusen, the originator of authentic gangster hero films, is still the sequel to the hero's true colors.
Not to mention, in addition to nostalgic reminiscences, True Colors of Heroes 2 also tells a very good story, and there are a lot more action scenes than the first part.
In the first part, Brother Xiao Ma played by Zhou Yanfa died, and in the second part, Brother Xiao Ma was given a twin brother, a twin brother who opened a restaurant in the United States.
Brother Hao was arrested for murder, and while serving his sentence, he was asked by the police to return to his former eldest brother Long Si to go undercover to find out if Long Si was still doing illegal things.
Ryusi has a shipyard, and this shipyard is a den that the police suspect of doing illegal things.
Not only is Brother Hao investigating this matter, but Brother Hao's younger brother Zhang Guorong's younger brother Zijie is also investigating, and they are all investigating Longsi.
In fact, Long Si didn't know it, it turned out that it was Long Si's subordinate Gao Yingpei who used the shipyard as a den behind Long Si's back to do illegal things.
Gao Yingpei deliberately framed Long Si for murder, and then took the opportunity to engulf the shipyard.Zihao and Zijie secretly escorted Long Si to New York, and asked his friend Ah Jian, who is Xiao Ma's younger brother (played by Zhou Yanfa) to help take care of it.
Ryusi was first at his old friend Asen, but he was still hunted down, and Asen and Ryusi's daughter died. Ryusi was greatly stimulated and went insane, just staring at the photo of his daughter. Gao Yingpei sent killers to chase down Long Si, and Ah Jian struggled to protect Long Si. Out of morality and friendship, Ah Kin gave up the restaurant he had run for many years and returned to Hong Kong with the Song brothers to deal with Ko Yingpei. Zijie infiltrated Gao's mansion alone to steal evidence of the crime and was killed by Gao Yingpei. Zihao, Ah Jian and Long Si worked together to avenge this revenge.
In the True Colors of Heroes 1, Zijie played by Zhang Guorong is not very flattering, because he doesn't understand his eldest brother, and even repeatedly embarrass him, which makes the audience hate his role as a semi-villain.
Therefore, in the True Colors of Heroes 2, Zijie's image opportunity has been reshaped, and the relationship with the eldest brother played by Di Long is much more harmonious, and many moments when the brothers get along make the audience very heartwarming.
Brother Hao, Brother Xiao Ma is back in the rivers and lakes, on the first day of the release of Hero True Colors 2, only in the morning, the movie tickets for all the Hero True Colors 2 movies in Golden Harvest and Longteng theaters on the same day have been sold out.
Those who are late can only beat their hands and come late, while complaining that the theater has too few films for Hero True Colors 2, and strongly requests to increase the number of [scheduled films.
The other film companies that got the news, the theater chain was irrepressibly envious, jealous and hateful, the person in charge and the boss of the two theaters of Jiahe and Longteng, Zou Wenhuai, but Qiao Feng smiled helplessly.
They also want to increase the film schedule, but they can only think about it, because the attendance rate of the zombie family and the bodyguard is very good, there is no reason to paint, there is still a long time to be screened, and a lot of box office can be harvested.
After the release of Heroes 2, not only was the box office a big hit, but also the reputation was quite good, whether it was the audience's reputation or the professional film critics' reputation, it was very good.
Although nitpicking is not as good as the first classic, there are not as many evocative moments and lines as the first one, but after giving up the emotional entanglement in the first part, the true colors of the hero 2 began to tell about the stubbornness and persistence spawned by the cruel fate, which is also very touching.
And the second part is more entertaining and legendary, and the gunfight scene is exciting and intense under the guidance of Cheng Xiaodong, and it is better than the first part in terms of visual effects.
It can be said politely that although there is no last in Hong Kong movies, it is also unprecedented. In this film, Wu Yusen's personal style is consolidated, and his skillful filmmaking techniques are vividly used in this film. The characters in the film are even more brotherly, Zhou Yanfa, Di Long, and Zhang Guorong are all high-spirited.
True Colors of Heroes 2 takes the requirements of hero films for the scale of scenes to a new stage, regardless of shooting conditions, scene control or spectacularness, True Colors of Heroes 2 is a milestone.
Before this movie, real Hong Kong filmmakers had never dared to shoot scenes where three people killed enough to have a group of villains. In addition, Heroic True Colors 2 also set another precedent for "hero films", that is, in the face of fierce enemies, the battle of life and death cannot be solved by pistol bullets, and the cost must be increased, and grenades, katanas, tomahawks, machine guns, etc. must be used to the fullest, and the house will be full of holes and unrecognizable to be a "hero".
To say that the popularity of Mr. and Mrs. Qiao filmed by Qiao Feng and Lin Qingxia is far beyond the true character of the hero 2, but this film is not recognized as a Hong Kong film by most people in Hong Kong, they think that this is a Hollywood-style action movie invested and starred by Hong Kong people.
Because, this film has no Hong Kong flavor, no one can say what Hong Kong flavor is, but this feeling is very mysterious and subjective, it is a Hong Kong film, you can feel it, if it is not, it is not, even if you feel that everything meets the standards and definitions of Hong Kong films.
The comments given by the audience after watching the movie are all good-looking, cool, and hot, and when asked how it compares with the first part, although most of them feel that it is not as impressive as the first one, it is undoubtedly the best gunfight film and hero film I have seen recently.
The film critics Chen Baisen, editor-in-chief of the film biweekly and one of the judges of the Academy Awards, is undoubtedly the most representative.
He said: "This is a still moving dog-tailed continuation mink.The success of the hero's true colors may not even be expected by Qiao Feng and even Wu Yusen, so Brother Xiao Ma died.But the true colors of the heroes are successful, the movie is successful, and the production of a sequel is possible, but there is no Brother Xiaoma without Zhou Runfa's true colors of heroes, is it still the true colors of heroes? No.
Therefore, how to make "Little Pony" reappear in the second part has obviously become an unavoidable proposition, and it is precisely because of this that in the True Colors of Heroes 2, the movie is not only slightly inferior to the shaping of the characters' emotions, but the plot has become a bit far-fetched, but the unyielding perseverance under the cruel fate, Zhou Yunfa and Zhang Guorong's superb acting skills, in the end, the movie is still about what is the "true colors of heroes" made a tearful interpretation, and on the other hand, in terms of visual effects, the true colors of heroes 2 are better than the first part, Wu Yusen's violent aesthetics have been better played, these excellent points make the true colors of heroes 2 like a dogtail continuation mink that can still move people's hearts. “
When the media flocked to report on the hero's true colors, the scary opening day box office was robbed, the fierce gunfight scene that made people breathless, and the evaluation of the audience and film critics, Hong Kong film colleagues completely cried and fainted in the toilet.
