Thinking of "Crazy Boys", the first song that came to Du Xinghe's mind was not Ekin Cheng's "Friendship Years", but the song "Sword and Shadow" sung by a group of Crazy Boys in the bar in the first part!

This song is adapted from the "Silent Years" by the Beyond Band, and the lyrics were rewritten by Wen Jun, which fully reflects the passionate and righteous atmosphere in the movie, and has always been praised by Du Xinghe as one of the classic strokes of film adaptations.

At this time, after hanging up the phone and closing his eyes, Du Xinghe recalled the fragment from the first part of "Crazy Boy" "People in the Rivers and Lakes" from his mind, and re-enjoyed this classic movie interlude.

……

Wan Chai has always been a big sun for me~ I play with the sun~!

Hongxing Zhangkan area~!

Bolou chicken sinus and big stall ~ all look at the sun~!

The highest realm of Tuodi~!

On the background ~to the powerful~!

On splitting friends~I don't give up~!

Sword light and sword shadow~Let me break into the club to show my skills~!

Single-mindedly vibrating the sound of the family~ Even if you die, you won't be shocked~

Let my blood flow down~!

……

The popular lyrics were sung by a group of Hongxing's younger brothers, which was extraordinarily imposing!

Du Xinghe reminisced about the clips in "Crazy Boy", and felt that he had returned to that young and ignorant youth.

This series of movies has definitely had a negative impact on teenagers on the previous plane, and many teenagers have been violently enlightened because of this film, and some people have even embarked on the road of no return because of this film.

Although there are many criticisms in the "Crazy Boy" series, it is undeniable. It's really a series of extremely successful commercial films, and there's a lot to be said about it.

Du Xinghe recalled the fragment of "Crazy Boy", and was a little hesitant in his heart, whether he should move this film to this society.

Will the impact of this film on the society of this plane be greater than that of the previous plane?

After careful consideration, he felt that it should not, after all, the value orientation of this society is clearer, the education method of the family including the society is more open, and there are many cultures. It's not taboo in this plane. For example, ghost sacrifices, underworld society, including classified films, these are all public. People have long been surprised. It won't be so thoroughly imitated just because of a set of movies. Otherwise, the murderers here would have been rampant a long time ago. There are a lot of murderous plots in the horror movies here. But I don't see many murderers in society.

Du Xinghe really wants to move this movie that brought him a lot of bloody pleasure to the big screen of this plane. Let the audience of this plane experience it.

At that time, when he was watching "No Bones", he had this idea in his mind and moved "Crazy Boy" over. Let Yuan Xiaotian play Chen Haonan.

But at that time, it was just a fleeting thought, and he didn't think much of it.

But now that they have taken Lin Jianguo's phone call and let them get in touch with Yuan Xiaotian and Uniasia Entertainment in reality, Du Xinghe's idea is even clearer.

Listening to Lin Jianguo's meaning, when he comes back this time, he will talk to the people over there about Yuan Xiaotian's record with him, he might as well take this opportunity to talk to Uniasia and Yuan Xiaotian instead, and let them shoot the "Crazy Boy" series!

I just don't know if Yuan Xiaotian is from the old boy, and whether he is willing to return to play the old boy, this kind of play has a certain impact on his own image, and the gossip outside should be more fierce.

Regardless of whether Yuan Xiaotian wants to act or not, Du Xinghe decided to move "Crazy Boy" over, because he feels that the background of the previous parts of "Crazy Boy" has a lot in common with the background of the current plane, although there is no background brought by the return of 97 here, but last year Xiangjiang held a large-scale strike, which is also a very heavy event, which has a huge impact on Xiangjiang society.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, anyway, the car was also taken for maintenance, and Xu Nuo was not there, Du Xinghe decided to stay up late in the company this night, and strive to draw all the storyboard scripts of the first few parts of "Crazy Boy", so that when Lin Jianguo comes back, he will have a target, and he can take the storyboard script to talk about film cooperation with the people of Uniasia.

After having the experience of painting "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" for the first time, Du Xinghe is now quite proficient in drawing the storyboard script of the movie, and he called up the first "The Man of the Troubled Boy in the Rivers and Lakes" from memory, and he began to draw quickly in front of one shot after another.

During this period, he also re-appreciated this gangster movie that created many miracles in the previous plane.

Speaking of which, gangster films have always been the pride of the Hong Kong film industry in the last plane. In the mid-80s of the last century, gangster films represented by filmmakers such as John Woo and Chow Yun-fat became popular at home and abroad, creating a real gangster film era, which was called the "hero film era".

After entering the 90s, a large number of outstanding Hong Kong filmmakers such as John Woo left Hollywood, and although the output of Hong Kong gangster films remained unchanged, the quality was greatly reduced. Against this backdrop, many of Hong Kong's new generation of filmmakers are beginning to emerge.

In the mid-90s, Liu Weiqiang, who had been an assistant director and photographer for many years, met Wang Jing, a master of commercial films, and the two hit it off and put the "Crazy Boy" series of comics, which was popular among teenagers at that time, on the big screen.

Although there is no "Crazy Boy" comic on this plane, the culture of Crazy Boy is still relatively popular in Xiangjiang and South China, and most young people understand these cultures. If the movie "Crazy Boy" is moved over, the popularity of Cheng Dù must be no worse than that of Hong Kong in the previous dimension.

In terms of casting in the last plane, Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jing used Ekin Cheng, who debuted recently. At that time, Ekin Cheng was the best choice for Chen Haonan in terms of appearance and temperament, and he was not very popular at that time, which became an important factor in the success of Crazy Boy. Just imagine, if Andy Lau and Tony Leung are allowed to play the role, it will be a little less heroic than a reckless man.

This is quite similar to Yuan Xiaotian in this plane. Yuan Xiaotian is also a new star here, relying on "No Bones" has just made some fame, and he will play Chen Haonan. It's the most suitable.

In terms of the casting of supporting roles in the last plane, the "Wind and Fire" group, which was not very popular at that time, came into Wang Jing's sight, "Wind and Fire" is a singing group established by Chen Xiaochun and several other young people, in terms of singing skills and appearance, they are not first-class, but they are somewhat similar to the characters in several original comics, Wang Jing recruited several people.

In the last plane, Ekin Cheng and Chen Xiaochun and other leading actors are all newcomers, and the director is only Liu Weiqiang, who has been an assistant director a few times, so to speak. The stage and the stage are full of newbies.

But it's such a group of people. A myth was created.

Du Xinghe feels that he can learn from the successful experience of the film in the previous plane, and select suitable newcomers to play supporting roles here, and even the director can invite newcomers to do it. It's up to newcomers to create a new era of "Hero Films"!

However, in terms of the plot of the movie, he must be carefully polished and transplanted. So as not to create a surprise fault line in the plane culture. It's unacceptable to the audience here.

For example, at the beginning of "People in the Rivers and Lakes". He used the following words: "In 1956, the Shek Gorge Mei fire, the Hong Kong government resettled the victims. A large number of resettlement areas have been built. With the rapid growth of the post-war generation, tens of thousands of families living in small flats, coupled with the fact that their parents were running for the job, and the cramming system was imperfect, many young people went astray. The resettlement area stadium has become a heroic place for them to exert their energy, and it has also become a breeding ground for the troubled boys......"

This passage is a copy written by the comic book author Niu Lao, which fully reflects the color of the times in the previous plane, and it is also the first scene of the "Crazy Boy" series of movies. In order to get this plane, this section has to be revised.

However, there is no need to modify the lens of this memory too much, because this shot Liu Weiqiang did very classic, and did not simply make the lens black and white, but replaced it with the color of the old film, slightly yellowed.

Without the slightest drag, after the subtitles fade out, there is a conflict that ensues. Although it seems a little pale to let a group of children join the underworld just because they can't play, but according to the helpless facts given by the subtitles, I have to tell the audience, how many children have gone to the point of no return because of this?

Of course, "Crazy Boy" will not preach to you, and these questions are not what the movie wants to explore.

So as soon as the camera turned, Chen Haonan, ten years later, was already fearlessly walking on the streets of Causeway Bay.

The shots that follow are all done in one go.

Running errands for the boss in a scene that brings out all the main members of "Crazy Boy".

Ekin Cheng's Liang Zinan and Chen Xiaochun's pheasant, two characters who will play a major role in the next episodes have attracted the attention of the audience from this time.

Of course, Lin Shangyi, who shined later, has been applauded since this time, and the scene of educating pheasants in the elevator is hilarious, comparing Jesus to the boss of the underworld, and even learning Stephen Chow's postmodern deconstruction style.

Then he killed people neatly, put his sister, until there was a crisis, the trap, internal split, the boss was killed, hiding, and wanted to live in the countryside and open a store for a lifetime, but the store was also smashed. Downcast, there is nothing to do. Down to the lowest point, the good brother came back with money and wealth, so he turned his head and paid for his hatred.

"The Man in the Rivers and Lakes" stuffs almost all the selling points that a commercial movie should have, and it is fluent and smooth, all in one go.

A successful commercial film must not only have a plot that heats up quickly, but also have clear values.

What are the values of Chen Haonan and others? Although he was in 1996, he still represents the oldest chivalrous concept in China.

Chen Haonan and others are like chivalrous men without strong kung fu, shuttling in the city, talking about righteousness, loyalty to the gang, loyalty to the boss, and their own set of principles and limits for doing things.

There are countless contradictions in "People in Jianghu", such as Chen Haonan at the beginning, the boss ordered to kill Ba Shu, and he went to kill; Later, when his brother died tragically on the street, and his younger brother wanted to collect the body, Chen Haonan said: "Come out and mix, this is the end!" Do you remember when we were beaten by Ah Kun? We didn't give in; Following Brother B, we have no regrets; We went to chop the bar, we were very majestic, but did you ever think about his family? It's just like us now. ”

From these details and values, it is not difficult to see that the main purpose of "Crazy Boy" is not to lead bad young people, teach bad ways, and self-reflection hidden behind the shadow of swords, which is actually an important value point of this film.

The various feelings created by "People in the Rivers and Lakes" are enough to teach similar movies a good lesson. The family relationship between the big guy B and Chen Haonan is also the master and father, and the love between Chen Haonan and the little stammer. Chen Haonan's friendship with pheasants and others is fully revealed in "People in Jianghu".

Especially when the whole family of the big guy B was killed, Chen Haonan was beaten and kicked by dozens of people in the family law, and he also had to put a stick of incense on the big guy B, which can be said to move the audience.

Wu Zhenyu played the number one antagonist Liangkun, which is almost a low-education version of Ni Yongxiao in "Infernal Affairs II" a few years later, which brought the audience many impressive lines. Among them, the most memorable one is undoubtedly: "When you come out to mix, you must be trustworthy, and if you say that you will kill your whole family, you must kill your whole family." "That's the finishing touch!

As the opposite angle, Liangkun's values are naturally opposite to the protagonist. Betraying his brother, he is selfish, and he will do anything to survive. On the other hand, Chen Haonan's noble sentiments are on the other hand. Such a confrontation between good and evil is easy for people to give Chen Haonan a sense of identity. and turned to hate Liangkun so much.

is also hated by Liangkun's mother, if people are arrogant like that, it is really difficult to solve the hatred in their hearts, so in the movie, Liangkun's mother was beaten to the point that her nose was blue and her face was swollen. It's enough to keep the audience hooked.

In "People in the Rivers and Lakes". Liangkun once forced Chen Haonan to have no way out; And in the ending. Liangkun was also forced by Chen Haonan in a narrow back alley, with nowhere to escape.

Liangkun, who did everything to survive, just fell for Chen Haonan's scheme. attracted the little policeman who was trained by him to be submissive and asked for his life; There is no showdown between good and evil that the audience is looking forward to, but the ending of "People in the Rivers and Lakes" is surprisingly light, but the charm is still there.

After spending more than three hours drawing the script of the first "People in the Rivers and Lakes", Du Xinghe wrote the following footnote next to the sub-shot of the last scene: "On the streets, there are old people sleeping peacefully, bustling crowds coming and going, and neon lights constantly flashing in the city. Chen Haonan and others walked on the streets of Causeway Bay with pride, indicating that the era that belonged to them had quietly opened ......"

After Shun Lì painted one of them, Du Xinghe made persistent efforts and began to draw the second sub-shot script of "Crazy Boy" - "Raptors Crossing the River"!

In the second part of this series of movies, although the protagonist is still Chen Haonan, the heavier role is actually replaced by a pheasant. The place where the story takes place has also been changed to Taiwan-Bay, which is separated from Hong Kong by water.

The conflict in the first episode is still Hong Xing's internal dispute, but in "Raptors Across the River", it is magnified to Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the open and secret struggle between the two societies. This is also the foreshadowing of the main conflict in the later episodes of "Crazy Boy".

After Liangkun's death, the internal conflict of the community in this episode was taken over by Da Fei, played by Huang Qiusheng.

The highlight of "Raptors Crossing the River" is Chen Xiaochun's experience in the Taiwan-Bay Gang. Beauty, politics, and power are all-encompassing, depicting a "beautiful" landscape outside the underworld for the audience, and the experience of pheasants in Taiwan-Bay can be described as laughter and tears.

Legislator elections, colorful flags on the streets; communication barriers caused by Taiwanese, Mandarin, and Cantonese; the social phenomenon of black-social figures participating in politics and fighting in the Legislative Yuan; Of course, the biggest highlight is the image of Ke Shouliang's cousin.

is also in karaoke, in the first episode is the brave "Sword and Sword Shadow", and in this episode is a soft Taiwanese love song.

Jiang Tiansheng of Hongxing Club is fitness swimming, Shopping and traveling, leisurely; Lei Gong of the Three-Union Gang, on the other hand, is vigorously engaged in elections, bleached from black, and is determined to enter politics.

"Raptors Across the River" is not a satirical movie, and it will naturally stop at the point, but even so, the audience will smile at the small metaphors scattered by the stars.

Taiwan, the treasure island of this plane, has a very different social system from the previous plane, and it is impossible to graft the film, but the Japanese-Kyushu Island, which was colonized by China on this plane, is somewhat similar to the Taiwan-Bay of the previous plane.

There are also legislative elections, and the mafia will also participate in politics, and more importantly, many of the customs there are very similar to those of Japan, and the mafia will also walk the streets in clogs like Japanese samurai. This is very similar to the scene in the film where Ke Shouliang educates the pheasant,

Using Kyushu to graft the Taiwan-Bay in the previous plane film, and using Fukuoka to graft Taiwan-Bei, you can reproduce many classic scenes in the movie.

is like the number one antagonist in this film, Ding Yao, played by Qiu Shuzhen, is dressed as a Japanese woman.

Speaking of which, in the last plane, Qiu Shuzhen has been in the film for many years, and has contributed countless roles, but there are very few that leave a pitiful impression.

It's a pity that smart women will naturally be mistaken by cleverness, and there will be retribution in the dark. In the film, Ding Yao did everything he could, harmed countless people, and finally took the wrong bet on the last move, and finally retributed himself. Although the "Crazy Boy" series fights and kills, the core idea is actually to teach people to abandon evil and turn to good.

The relationship between Pheasant and Ding Yao is the story line that most captures the audience in the whole film. In the end, the pheasant ended Ding Yao's life with his own hands, and said goodbye in his mouth: "Do you know that you are the woman I love the most in my life?" "This is probably the last temptation of the abusive pheasant.

The biggest surprise of "Raptors Across the River" is probably the role of Da Fei, first against and then right, the original reckless and rude Da Fei is still a seed of righteousness in his bones. In the next few episodes, he will also shine.

Ren Dahua's image as the boss began to become more and more stable, calm and confident, not shocked by the humiliation between talking and laughing, always gentle and elegant to his subordinates, and full of majesty to his opponents. He doesn't need many younger brothers to follow him, and he doesn't need to be so ugly and scary, in a few words, there is such an indescribable majesty, above everyone. He is the highest moral benchmark in "Crazy Boy", and has become the highest idol of Chen Haonan and others, and he is also the kind of person that the audience most desires to become in this virtual movie world.

These characters can be said to be classics, and Du Xinghe is drawing a storyboard script while thinking about which stars in this plane can perfectly interpret the soul of these characters.

The success of the "Crazy Boy" series is not only the success of the plot, but also the success of the characters.

Especially some villains, like Liangkun in the first part and Ding Yao in the second part, all have a feeling that they belong to him, and if they play it by another person, I really don't know what Cheng dù they can play.

Especially Ding Yao in the second part, she is the only female villain in the "Crazy Boy" series, and this role is also the last role left on the screen by Qiu Shuzhen, the sexy goddess of the previous plane, and then she disappeared. She interprets this role vividly, like a red rose with thorns, the beauty is overwhelming, but the back is covered with poisonous thorns, and you can kill people without seeing blood with a blade. looks like a vase, but in fact it is a villain with ambition and coexistence, such a role must be played by sexy actresses who seem to be vases but actually have excellent acting skills, in the film industry of this plane, it is really difficult to find such a role.

But to put it mildly, compared to finding the actor of Ding Yao from this plane, it is more difficult to find the actor of the villain who will appear below-the crow! (To be continued......)
