Chapter 623: The Hong Kong version of Top Gun
A few years ago, a film company invited Liu Dehua and Guan Zhilin to make a police film.
Liu Dehua is a model worker, and there is a schedule, so of course he took it.Guan Zhilin happened to be in the mood to film at that time, so in addition to playing Ren Yingying in Xiaoao Jianghu, she also accepted the invitation.
Although Qiao Feng knew that the box office of this movie was not good, he did not let Guan Zhilin refuse, because the box office was not very good, but if you want to say that Liu Dehua and Guan Zhilin, the two best partners who have cooperated the most in time and space, which of the many movies that have cooperated with them is the best screen image of the two, then I have to say that it has to be this movie called the proud eagle.
Although Liu Dehua has played a lot of policemen, Qiao Feng, who is the most handsome in uniform, thinks that he can win the sharpshooter Li Jianhua in the arrogant eagle.
And Guan Zhilin is of course as beautiful as ever, but her beauty in the arrogant eagle is different from that in other films, it is a kind of beauty that belongs to the beautiful police flower and the beauty of a uniform with a unique charm.
(Friends who like uniforms, Guan Zhilin in this movie is worth watching.)
But just like Qiao Feng said to Guan Zhilin, the imitation traces of this movie are too heavy.
This movie is about the formation of an elite unit of the Hong Kong police in response to the increasingly serious crime situation. to recruit talent from within the Force.
Sharpshooter Li Jianhua (played by Liu Dehua) is self-confident and skilled, and he is willing to take risks to relieve a hostage crisis. B. Opportunity.
Li Jianhua is full of confidence, but this is his advantage and disadvantage. Li Jianhonghua excels in training, and at the same time, he also meets beautiful female instructors.
. B.'s instructor Miss Tang (played by Guan Zhilin) made Li Jianhua fall in love at first sight, and he did not forget to pursue him boldly in addition to rigorous training.
Soon, a Vietnamese criminal gang went to Hong Kong to kidnap hostages, Li Jianhua and his teammates were ordered to attack, and the first operation was successful. is planning to assassinate dignitaries in the shadows,. B. attacked again, this time they encountered a real test, Li Jianhua because of his overconfidence caused the action to go wrong and failed, resulting in the tragic death of his friend, Hua lost all confidence, and finally Hua regained confidence.......
Handsome cadets and beautiful instructors, as well as victories and then failures, led to a lot of sacrifices, and finally regained strength to defeat the enemy for various reasons...... Are such routines and bridges familiar?
That's right, anyone who has seen Top Gun will feel familiar.
Because, the story of Top Gun is almost like this, even the cast configuration is almost the same.
Top Gun is about Tom Cruise's Delin, a U.S. Navy lieutenant codenamed "The Lone Ranger". His father was a veteran pilot with great military achievements and an unshakable idol in his heart.
At one time, he, together with fellow naval officer Gus, was sent to the Fighter Weapons School (TOP GUN) for the most rigorous training. In their first training sessions, instructors encouraged them to be the most elite pilots in the United States.
However, Medellín's training did not go well, and he was always a maverick in the air and did not cooperate with others.
In a teaching class, his deliberate difficulties embarrass the female instructor Charlie (played by Kelly McGillis), and there are differences and estrangements between the two. Medellín falls in love with the beautiful and enthusiastic Charlie, and gradually, Charlie also falls in love with this student with a personality and invites him to her home as a guest, much to the heart of Medellín, who is trapped in training all day.
During a training session before graduation, Medellín and his partner, codenamed "Stupid Goose", flew the same plane again, during which Medellín and Gus were forced to parachute because the plane stalled and entered a tailspin and was about to crash into the sea, but Gus was unfortunately killed because of the collision.
This made Medellín, who was already unhappy all day long, even more miserable, and he was depressed and decided to abandon his ideals and become an elite pilot.
Charlie encouraged him to be ambitious and strive to be a good pilot..........
It can basically be said that the arrogant eagle is the Hong Kong version of Top Gun, but the difference is that Tom Cruise uses the F-14 to play handsome, while Liu Dehua uses to play handsome with firearms.
The rest is almost just a change of soup and not a change of medicine.
It is precisely because of this that this film will find Liu Dehua and Guan Zhilin to star, because this is said to be imitation, but in fact it is plagiarism.
In Hong Kong, if you want to plagiarize Qiao Feng's movie, you simply don't want to mix.
And the only way to make plagiarism or imitation less serious is to get Qiao Feng's consent, but obviously Qiao Feng lacks nothing, whether it is the producer, director or screenwriter of this movie, they have no friendship with Qiao Feng, and it is basically impossible to make Qiao Feng agree by saying items or paying benefits.
So, they thought of inviting Qiao Feng's actors, especially Qiao Feng's women, to act in the movie, as long as these people agreed, then Qiao Feng would definitely not say anything.
Just like the diary of the eldest husband at the beginning, because of the suspicion of insinuating Qiao Feng, it was almost impossible to shoot.
In the end, not only was it filmed, but nothing was a problem when it was released, and in the end, the box office sold tens of millions.
There are ready-made successful cases, and the investors of the arrogant eagle will naturally follow suit, and then there will be the male protagonist of Liu Dehua and the female protagonist of Guan Zhilin.
However, the box office success of Top Gun is due to the fact that the two-hour movie alone takes up an hour and a half of footage of pilots flying fighter jets F-14 and relatively old A4 and F5 in the blue sky and white clouds.
Those silver fighter jets chased each other, formed each other, sometimes whistling overhead, sometimes floating smoothly at an altitude of 10,000 meters, accompanied by lofty mountains and rivers and magnificent morning and afterglow, all kinds of scenes are very good, as well as the tense and sometimes playful dialogue of the pilots in the cabin, all of which make the audience feel immersed.
Not only does it attract many weapons fans, but it is also very tempting for the general audience.
However, what about this arrogant eagle, it is still an old-fashioned police and bandit battle in Hong Kong, and it is not brilliantly filmed, even if such a movie can have a certain box office with the support of fans of Andy Lau and Guan Zhilin, how good can the box office be.
After all, if a movie really wants to get a good box office, it has to rely on the quality of the movie in the end.
