Chapter 421: "Ancient-Confused-Boy" (Medium)
If you want to select the most ruthless villain in the "Crazy Boy" series, the crow played by Zhang Yaoyang in the third "One Hand Covers the Sky" will definitely deserve to win the first place!
Zhang Yaoyang plays this ruthless crow, not to mention the Hong Kong film history of the previous plane, even in the world film industry.
There is no one in his eyes, unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, and everyone who stands in the way is killed, although such a character setting is not uncommon, Zhang Yaoyang's interpretation is indeed quite rare.
The temperament of gangster movies in Hong Kong is different from that of Europe and the United States, Marlon Brando in "The Godfather" speaks unhurriedly, relying on momentum to overwhelm the scene; And Zhang Yaoyang's interpretation of the crow relies on the word "evil" as the head. Evil to the extreme is equivalent to evil to the extreme.
The first time Du Xinghe watched "Crazy Boy" in the last plane, it was the third part of the series "One Hand Covering the Sky" that he set out to paint!
This episode can be said to be the pinnacle of the "Crazy Boy" series, and there are countless classic shots in it, all of which are talked about. Even the pheasant choked a bunch of children on the court, so that the other party had a kind of small detail of going to Polan Street, which was very addictive!
The crows inside shocked the former Du Xinghe! Even if I watch it again now, Du Xinghe feels that the crows in this film are extremely evil!
At this time, it was already three o'clock in the morning, but Du Xinghe was not sleepy at all from the excitement of this series of movies, and he wanted to finish the storyboard script of "Covering the Sky with One Hand" in one go.
The opening scene of this episode of "Crazy Boy" is a scene in which the crow disposes of his little brother with family law.
The crow first tortured his subordinates, and then contemptuously stepped on the statue of Guan Gong, who was worshiped as a god by the Hong Kong people. The unstoppable arrogance made the audience tremble.
Probably Liu Weiqiang felt that the crow's exposed cruel character seemed to be more than enough force and insufficient intelligence, so he added a right-hand man to the crow: the smiling tiger.
This military role with a knife hidden in a smile is played by Chen Haonan's mentor boss B in the first episode, which is also a classic screen image, and it takes a lot of effort to find out from this plane.
You must know that Wu Zhixiong, who played the boss B in the last plane, was a member of the community in reality, and he is naturally familiar with playing this role. Deeply in. I want to find such a big guy from this plane. It is estimated that he has to ask Lin Jianguo for help, and it is this kind of friend that he knows the most.
The rhythm of "Covering the Sky with One Hand" is the same as the previous two "Crazy Boys", which does not drag at all, and uses the two bastards of Dongxing as clues. Soon brought in the "Dongxing", a gang that was opposed to "Hongxing".
After that, the crow and the smiling tiger killed their relatives repeatedly. For the first time, the audience deeply felt the meaning of "covering the sky with one hand" contained in the title of this episode!
"Crazy Boy" series. In fact, it is a group portrait movie with many characters, and the group portrait movie wants to be comprehensive. It requires strong skills from the director.
Although Liu Weiqiang did not paint the group portraits of "Crazy Boy" very well, he was also above the passing level. This episode brings out Dongxing and Dutch gangsters respectively, whether it is the increasingly cultivated Jiang Tiansheng, or the old-fashioned and dull camel, or the old man Hong Xing who enjoys his old age in the Netherlands, the group portrait portrayal of each gang character is excellent, at least after the audience watches it, it can still be remembered.
The desire of the crow and the smiling tiger devours a qiē, and this desire transcends the proper morality, rules, and boundaries. The camels taught them that they should know how to respect their predecessors, and their approach was to kill their predecessors, including the camels themselves.
Desire overrides all the norms of the world, and the two feel that the camel is outdated, so even if the other party is their eldest brother and the leader of the club, they can still kill the killer mercilessly; felt that Jiang Tiansheng was the biggest stumbling block to their development and growth, so they could deliberately kill Jiang Tiansheng and then blame Chen Haonan.
The crow and the smiling tiger will not understand the ancient Chinese moral admonition of "leave room for others, leave room for yourself", and naturally lay the groundwork for their own demise. Although the "Crazy Boy" series is full of evil, the morals and values inside it are quite traditional.
Among the movie bigwigs in ancient and modern China and abroad, Jiang Tiansheng is an impressive character. Different from the godfather, Jiang Tiansheng is more like a synthesis of a juvenile idol, a young scholar, a middle-aged entrepreneur, and an elderly scholar.
Jiang Tiansheng, played by Ren Dahua, is handsome and handsome, his wife is sexy and beautiful, and he is in charge of the largest underworld in Hong Kong. He was always gentle in conversation, knowledgeable but never pretentious, and always had the upper hand when negotiating with his opponents, such a perfect image is probably the dream of all men and women.
Jiang Tian's perfection makes this role not only an idol of the public outside the play, but also the support of everyone in Hongxing in the play. No matter what kind of crisis is encountered, Jiang Tiansheng's presence can always turn the danger into a disaster and get through it safely. When the other gangsters threatened aggressively, he was able to use his majesty to overpower the other party and walk out of the encirclement coldly.
When Chen Haonan and others were lost and hesitant, Jiang Tiansheng was also able to teach purely, so that the protagonist could find hope again; When Hong Xing's uncles and fathers fought to the death for personal gain, Jiang Tiansheng was able to make these people obedient and no longer quarrel.
Jiang Tiansheng is more like an all-round patriarch, managing the affairs of the family and convincing the family. Most of Hongxing's minions worship Chen Haonan, and Chen Haonan doesn't regard Jiang Tiansheng as a spiritual leader in his heart? What can you do if you are an old boy and fight and kill to the extreme, is it difficult to become arrogant? If Jiang Tiansheng can do this, it is probably the highest peak.
Therefore, when Jiang Tiansheng was assassinated by several nameless gangsters and slowly collapsed on the streets of Amsterdam, the spiritual pillar in the hearts of Chen Haonan and the audience also collapsed.
Having lost Jiang Tiansheng, the arrogant Dongxing began to provoke Hong Xing non-stop; Alien Taiwan-Gulf gangs have also begun to encroach on their inherent territory; The old uncles continue to fight for money and power, but Chen Haonan is more and more unable to see the future and hope.
The first two episodes of the "Crazy Boy" series have created a lot of negative forces for the protagonist, Liangkun in the first episode and Lei Gong and Ding Yao in the second episode have their own merits, but they always make people see hope, even if it is difficult. There is always Jiang Tiansheng to rely on.
But in "One Hand Covering the Sky", with the death of Jiang Tiansheng, Chen Haonan and the audience can only feel hopeless. The vigor of the "Crazy Boy" series disappeared at this moment.
The dramatic conflict in this episode is so strong that it is unbearable, and Hong Xing's internal and external troubles are already very much, to the point of dizzying.
After the crow and the smiling tiger killed Jiang Tiansheng and framed Chen Haonan, the goal of "covering the sky with one hand" has basically been achieved. Chen Haonan's little stammering finally regained his memory, but the moment he remembered Chen Haonan was also the moment when they were separated forever. And the episode of the film "Willing to Replace You" in this paragraph is also Du Xinghe's opinion. The best song sung by Ekin Cheng.
Raven does nothing bad in this episode. Kill your boss, kill Chen Haonan's boss, kill his brother, and kill the person he loves the most. Doing bad things is also a time to push yourself to a dead end.
Chen Haonan is no longer the eldest brother he died back then. A person who will passively flee when his brother leaves. The years have made him stronger and stronger.
The revenge plan was quietly launched, and on the day of the funeral of the hazy camel, the army arrived. The crow and the smiling tiger finally confessed their actions in front of the camel's spiritual seat.
The rivers and lakes of happiness and revenge are so simple, and the crow finally understands at the moment before he dies what the fate of the betrayal and the departure of his relatives will be.
Chen Haonan couldn't laugh when he saw the death of the enemy. What is the purpose of coming out to mix, his status is getting higher and higher, and the price is getting bigger and bigger, what do you need? At this moment, Chen Haonan lost interest in the pursuit of power for the first time.
In the first two episodes, the deaths of Liangkun and Ding Yao can bring the audience the pleasure of revenge, even if the pheasant's sentence "You are the woman I love the most in my life" also makes people know that this is just an amorous excuse for the pheasant.
The death of the crow and the smiling tiger this time is not happy, because the price is too great. Chen Haonan finally questioned the crow: "Do you think that by doing this, you can cover the sky with one hand?" "He was asking the crow as well as himself.
In this film, Amsterdam's serenity, serenity; Hong Kong's impetuousness is very well portrayed, and even if you don't remember the names of the dozens of characters who appear, you can still distinguish their personalities and images separately.
The ups and downs of the story are as good as the first episode, and Lin Shangyi's image of the Confused Priest is also more cute than the previous two episodes.
The truth contained in the period also goes beyond the simple struggle of the first two episodes, and the thinking about personal positioning and feeling is not even lower than that of some art films.
In this episode, the supporting characters steal the limelight from the lead for the first time; It's a pity that it's only this time: because Jiang Tiansheng and the crow are both geniuses, and they can't get more.
The style of the first three episodes of the "Crazy Boy" series tends to be frozen and reaches the peak after the battle of "Covering the Sky with One Hand", and the last three episodes, no matter how wide the subject matter and how big the content is, have never surpassed "One Hand Covering the Sky".
So much so that after Du Xinghe drew the storyboard script of the third episode of "One Hand Covers the Sky", he only roughly replayed the plot for the last three episodes, and watched it to see if it was grafted to this plane, if it was not grafted, he would not draw the storyboard script of these three episodes.
The first three episodes of "Crazy Boy" can be called a classic, if it can be perfectly grafted to this plane, then from the fourth episode, it can actually allow the creative team of this plane to continue to write this story and make the story more perfect.
It was already six o'clock in the morning, and Du Xinghe was finishing the sub-scene script of the third episode of "One Hand Covering the Sky", when he pinched the bridge of his nose to rest his eyes, there was a sound of footsteps walking outside the door.
Du Xinghe expected that He Miao's tomboy was about to go back to rest after recording, to say that this girl is really desperate enough, in addition to himself, it is estimated that He Miao will work the hardest in the cloud world, and he will often record for more than ten or twenty hours in a recording. She is a part-time assistant to the recording engineer, and this kind of enthusiasm is very touched by Du Xinghe.
Du Xinghe once thought about why He Miao worked so hard in the cloud world, and he thought that it might be that He Miao had been relatively loose in schoolwork recently, and she had a lot of time to do the recording work she liked in the cloud world, so she was happy to work. However, it is more likely that He Miao is not a regular employee of Cloud World now, and he must perform well and strive to graduate from college in the future and stay in Cloud World, a very promising dream factory.
Every time he thinks of the employees under him, because they are optimistic about the company's prospects, they have become very fond of and cherish this job, Du Xinghe has a full sense of accomplishment in his heart, and he will have more motivation to lead the cloud world to a higher status.
At this moment, stimulated by He Miao's footsteps, Du Xinghe took a sip of monk fruit wood tea. After moistening his throat, continue to play back the "Crazy Boy" series, not to draw a storyboard script first, but simply to see if the plot is suitable for grafting.
In the last plane, the first three parts of "Crazy Boy" were filmed in one go, and they were all released in the first half of 96, and the box office was a big hit, which made the producer Zuò's "best partner" very happy, and the launch of the fourth episode was also a logical thing.
However, after the resumption of filming, the gap between this series of movies and the original comics is getting farther and farther. It's also a trend in all comic book adaptations.
In the midst of a burst of gongs and drums. KK and Da Tian Er tied the knot, and the fourth episode of "Invincible" also kicked off.
As the so-called "born and raised", Jiang Tiansheng passed away in the third episode, and Hong Xing needed a successor. So Jiang Tiansheng's younger brother Jiang Tianyang quietly appeared.
Jiang Tiansheng, who is different from the temperament of a scholar. Jiang Tianyang played by Wan Ziliang. Pay more attention to the interests. If Jiang Tiansheng is like a leader of an idealized society, then Jiang Tianyang is more like a skilled person who is immersed in practical interests.
Jiang Tianyang said to Hongxing's group of people that the most important thing in the world is three points. The first is silver, the second, and the third is silver. As long as you have money, there's nothing you can't do!
Jiang Tianyang, who grows flowers and raises elephants in Thailand, is willing to return to Hong Kong to take charge of Hung Hing again.
At this time, Hongxing has grown and grown, and the 12 people in charge of various districts in Hong Kong have formed a climate, and the pomp and circumstance are naturally much larger than the first three episodes; Zhang Yaoyang, who played the crow in the third episode, incarnated as Dongxing Yaoyang in this episode and continued to do evil; Fit people in the entanglement of power and interests, open and secret fights, you live and die; The little stammering is gone, who can heal the scars in Chen Haonan's heart? Chen Haonan, who is pessimistic about power and status, how can he convince his brother Pheasant of his desire for power?
Attached to these conflicts, they are interspersed with the turbulent Hong Kong realism of the turn of the century; The current situation of troubled teenagers in school, scanning, and other social incurable diseases, the lively fourth episode officially begins.
Chen Haonan experienced "Covering the Sky with One Hand", and his desire for power began to decline, it seems that Jiang Tiansheng's death made him understand that no matter how hard he fights, there is no way out after all.
However, this is more like the government's script, but unfortunately the philosophy contained in it is not something that those hairy children who learn from the characters in the play to fight and kill after watching the movie can understand.
In view of this mentality, there is a scene of Chen Haonan preaching to those bad teenagers who worship him in class.
"You said that Chen Haonan is your idol, have you ever seen Chen Haonan? Causeway Bay talker, very good B, right? Do you know that his eldest brother was killed, and the whole family can't even find the bones? Do you know that he saw the woman he loved the most die in front of his eyes but couldn't do anything about it? Do you know what Chen Haonan is thinking? Sue you, he doesn't want to be this talker, he doesn't want to be in the underworld! But now he can't help it, he can't turn back! Everyone has idols, I have them, you don't read or not, I can't care. But I want to say to you, if you go the wrong way, you won't have to turn back! ”
The truth contained in this passage is not the same inside and outside the play.
The fighting spirit of daring to kill and fight before the Crazy Boy series is gone, and Chen Haonan is reflecting on the meaning of what he has done. He is not a detached person with extraordinary wisdom, and he cannot use unfathomable words to prove his enlightenment, he will only use his actual experience to warn those who imitate and worship him: Life should not be like this!
Unfortunately, how many people can understand it? There are still a lot of children in the poor streets and alleys of every city who are clamoring to fight and kill, and they call themselves Dongxing Gang and Hongxing Society when they pull three or five fox friends and dog friends, and experts and parents are still crying bitterly about the danger of "Crazy Boy" to society, but they don't think about whether they are getting farther and farther away from their own flesh and blood, whether it is from the body or the soul; When such a movie appears, when he is popular among teenagers, he will always jump out of all walks of life to complain about the danger it causes, and never ask whether he is also responsible. In the play, this is Chen Haonan's sadness alone; Outside the play, this is the sadness of a society and an era.
Chen Haonan's brother Da Tianer stood up for him for the election of pheasants, and was finally thrown off the tall building by Dongxing Yaoyang and died tragically on the streets of the city.
Sheng Fan and Pheasant went around to win votes in order to compete for Tuen Mun speakers, and on the day of the final election, the conspiracy did not end well, and the bad guys would still be punished.
Jiang Tianyang put away his usual gentle and kind face, and its spicy and ferocious face was chilling.
Chen Haonan and the innocent female teacher are not all the way after all, and parting ways may be the best result for the two.
And the pheasant finally got the position of the talker, but will he still be as longing and happy as he was at the beginning of the film?
Is it Chen Haonan and the pheasant who will always be invincible, or have they never really won?
After playing back this episode of "Crazy Boy", Du Xinghe found that there are many places to modify the grafting in this episode, especially the background of 97, which has changed and alluded to Hong Kong society before and after, which is not very easy to deal with.
However, it is necessary to graft the background of this episode to the Xiangjiang strike on this plane, and compare the mentality of the Xiangjiang people before and after, but it can still be handled, but there is still a feeling of dog's tail continuing to mink.
This episode will be shelved first, and if it doesn't work, it won't be continued, let the filmmakers of this plane continue it.
He continued to see if there was any possibility of portability in the next two episodes. (To be continued......)
