June 16, 1976, no wind, fine.

After the preliminary preparation of "The Legend of the Wicked" was completed, the filming was chosen on this day. The first set of shots took a long time, but Ren Dahua was too immature, and he couldn't reach the crazy acting skills that Li Ping'an wanted. In the original play, Jung Tae-seok is not a good person at all, and his purpose in arresting murderers is only to get a promotion and a salary increase, as for the righteous things, there are very few. Li Ping'an's adaptation magnifies the evil side even more, so that the audience can see that there is actually no good person in this drama, and Jang Dong-so and Jung Tae-seok are only a little more than the murderer's bottom line, that is, respect for ordinary life.

The progress of the crew is very slow, Ren Dahua has just found a good state here, and Hong Jinbao has problems over there. To tell the truth, in terms of acting skills, Hong Jinbao is really much worse than the original Ma Dongxi, in fact, martial arts actors have this common problem, as long as they are good when they are young, everything else is secondary, Li Ping'an's previous life, like Donnie Yen, Wu Jing, Li Lianjie, etc., all really understood some acting skills after they were not confused.

In order to increase Zhang Dongxiu's sense of evil, Li Ping'an could only grind Hong Jinbao's drama over and over again, but fortunately, Hong Jinbao still had some talent, and finally found the positioning of the role, and the scene where Zhang Dongxiu and other gang leaders ate hot pot was simply unconsciously terrifying.

The most unexpected of these actors is Wu Weiguo, who has never played the role of a villain, and the murderer Jiang Jinghao's distorted mentality shuddered, which made the fledgling Ren Dahua very shocked, and at the same time determined to become a powerful actor.

During the filming process, Li Ping'an's adjustment of the picture, the grasp of the rhythm, including the processing of some details, made Lin Lingdong and To Qifeng extremely admired, and also benefited the two a lot. The reason why Li Ping'an has such a strong directing ability is because of the exercise during the filming of "Plan A", and on the other hand, it is also the main reason, that is, Li Ping'an has a clear original version in his mind as a reference, which is simply cheating.

"The Legend of the Wicked" was filmed for a total of three and a half months, and when Li Ping'an announced the completion of the film, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this drama is too exciting, and there are few directors like Li Ping'an who pay attention to details in Xiangjiang.

On October 1, after a series of publicity, "The Legend of the Wicked" was fully released in Shaw Brothers theaters, and because of the nature of the film, the leading actors at the premiere were very incoherent.

The host Zhang Mari asked Hong Jinbao, "I heard that you played Zhang Dongxiu, a color group character from Shuanghua Red Stick in the play, so you must have shown a lot of kung fu!"

"Actually, I'm just beating people and being beaten, not acting a good person, but it's not very bad, in short, this drama makes me very painful, but it's also very painful!" Hong Jinbao could only reply without spoilers.

Zhang Mari was not very satisfied with Hong Jinbao's answer B, and immediately turned her target to Wu Weiguo, "I heard that you play a villain, and you have always shown people as a hero, how did you find the positioning of the role?"

Wu Weiguo was a little entangled, "To be more precise, I played a madman, but in fact, I don't know how to comment on this role in the end, I think it will scare the neighbors!"

"Are Mr. Ren Dahua and Mr. Li very familiar with each other? As far as I know, this is your first play, and you can play the leading role in the first play, there must be a lot of stories behind it!" Zhang Mari began to dig a pit for Ren Dahua.

"I'm very grateful to Mr. Li for his appreciation!" Ren Dahua was a little nervous, "It is estimated that Mr. Li's selection of me is not only related to my face that is not like a good person, but my eldest brother is very happy that I can play a policeman." ”

Seeing that Ren Dahua didn't take the bait, Zhang Mari immediately pointed the finger at Zhong Chuhong, "Mr. Li didn't arrive today, but his secretary is also the heroine in the play and arrived at the scene." Miss Zhong is Mr. Li's secretary, what do you think of Mr. Li's decision to let you play the heroine, is it the reason why Juxian does not avoid relatives?"

Zhong Chuhong's temperament was already a little arrogant, and he immediately shook his head and denied it, "No! This is a man's play, I don't appear in it much, and I haven't been paid." ”

After the Q&A session, the screening of the film began.

After the factory mark, the first picture is Zheng Tae-seok violently enforcing the law, Zhang Dongxiu coldly punching the sandbag, when the rubber sandbag was opened, and a bloody person appeared inside, the whole theater resounded in an uproar.

"The lens is very elegant, the tone is cold, Huang Yuetai's photography skills are really extraordinary, but the beginning is so blood-type, there is Lao Zhang's style. Chu Yuan teased Zhang Che next to him.

"Senior brother, you Zhang Dongxiu is very domineering!" Yuan Dart was also shocked by this picture!

"There are more ruthless ones in the back, I don't count!" Hong Jinbao is quite satisfied with the big guy he played.

As the plot unfolds, the excited and distorted face of the perverted murderer played by Wu Weiguo when he kills people on a rainy night makes the audience who is familiar with him completely subvert their imagination.

"Wei Guo, I didn't expect you to be so good at playing a villain!" McDonald's heartfelt compliment.

Wu Weiguo's heart tightened, and he wiped the sweat on his head worriedly, "Director, don't let me play the role of a traitor, I feel that the hero is more suitable for me." ”

The picture progressed to Wu Weiguo's stabbing of Hong Jinbao, and when he was almost killed by Hong Jinbao in the end, the simple combat fighting scene with both fists and skills made the male audience have a surge of adrenaline.

"Maybe I should also ditch my extra skills and make a fight movie like this. Li Xiaolong whispered to Zou Wenhuai about his sudden thoughts.

Zou Wenhuai was thinking about how to follow the trend, "Xiaolong, after we go back, we will also make a similar gangster movie, it is best to let Andy write a script for us Shaw Brothers." ”

When the plot reached the point where in order to find the murderer, Jung Tae-seok played by Ren Dahua and Jang Dong-so of Hong Jinbao began to compromise and cooperate, Xu Ke not only brightened, "This plot is very cleverly arranged, and the irony is very strong!"

Zhou Liang Shuyi next to him nodded approvingly, "Regardless of the position, Mr. Li's talent is the best in Xiangjiang and is the best." ”

The movie plays to the part where Hung Kim Po Station waits for the rain to give away umbrellas.

Zhang Dongxiu, played by Hong Jinbao, first saw the female student played by Guan Zhilin extinguishing the cigarette when she kept coughing, and then handed the umbrella to Guan Zhilin, this scene touched the softness of many people's hearts.

When Ren Dahua warned Guan Zhilin to stay away from Hong Jinbao and told Guan Zhilin that Hong Jinbao was a gang boss, Guan Zhilin's reaction amused the entire theater.

"Uncle, I think you are the boss of the color group!" Guan Zhilin's words made the audience feel more warm and funny.

The saddest scene of the whole movie comes in, when the news scene freezes on an umbrella and white sneakers under it, the audience is enraged, gritting their teeth and waiting for the final result.

This set of footage of the drag racing collision surprised everyone, especially Fang Shilong, who seemed to see a lot of pictures waving to him.

"Senior brother, how did you shoot this scene?" Fang Shilong stared at Hong Jinbao with a look of curiosity.

There is a man named Chen Yiyan in the company, who also filmed "Food Truck" with us before, and now he has been recruited by Mr. Li to specialize in car stunts, and he also has two apprentices, Ke Shouliang and Luo Lixian, both of whom have great skills, and after filming, the three masters and apprentices were sent by Mr. Li to the United States for further study. Hong Jinbao actually admires Li Ping'an the most in his heart, because during the filming, drag racing and other stunts were designed by Li Ping'an and filmed in consultation with Chen Yiyan.
