Detective return, the road to revival in Hong Kong films is still far away!

Author:Future Film Bureau Time:2022.07.09

When it comes to the image of the Galaxy, the first thing that refers to in the mind is the pile of classic Hong Kong films, "Dark Flowers", "Gun Fire", "Dark Battle", "Underworld", "Detective", etc., all of them are exquisite script, depression and sadness. The sense of fate allows the audience to experience the impermanence of fate and life. For a long time, the Galaxy image even represents the highest level of Hong Kong gangsters.

It is a pity that with the Hong Kong film -style micro -micro, a large number of Hong Kong filmmakers have chosen to go north. In order to survive, there are many works that are neither groundless nor artistic value, especially the galaxy's handle Du Qifeng. The level, so, the behind -the -scenes screenwriter Wei Jiahui took Du Qifeng's gun and walked to the front desk, bringing this "Detective War" with obvious Hong Kong flavor.

From the perspective of names and concepts, the film is very similar to the "Detective" 15 years ago. The protagonists are shaped into weird people who can see and hear some unrealistic existence. They live in their own world. Starting only from the heart, even if it is misunderstood and bullied, he has never given up his tireless exploration of the truth.

Structural movies consist of three cases: Rain Night Butcher, Demon Police, and Detective, with a time span of 20 years. Among them, there are rare continuous killing girls and weird internal fighting. It's shocking enough. Director Wei Jiahui fully promoted the characteristics of Hong Kong -type films, creating a horrible atmosphere with a continuous atmosphere and progressive plot, leading the audience to enter the confusing middle game after another.

1. More attempts to type tablets

As soon as the movie opened, the process of the rainy night butcher case and the magic police case was simply explained. After that, it quickly cut into the main line "Detective Case". Essence

As a policeman film, after decades of development in Hong Kong, a mature and complete production system has been formed. No matter how innovative innovation, the content of the story is very different. As a result, the film no longer tangled how the plot burned and reversed, but through these social phenomena to reflect on the cause of tragedy behind.

Just like the "detective" of the revenge messenger in the film, their identity is the family members of the victims. After seeing the loved ones being brutally killed, the flame of the revenge was burned in their hearts until they destroyed others and also destroyed themselves. Even if the real reason is that someone is manipulating, but the incomplete family education and the lack of social care at the social level make such groups always look like a gunpowder barrel. What is missing is the one who ignites.

Therefore, this story can occur in Hong Kong or in any city, because whether it is a victim or a perpetrator, their roots can be found from the growth trajectory of everyone.

The reason why a work is willing to spend so much pen and ink to reflect the violence, the starting point is definitely not to let more people imitate. The consequences of violence are not peace but constantly killing. Even if they can get spiritual consolation in a short time, it is more a nightmare that can't wake up for a long time.

In all cases, the protagonist Li Jun is a bystander, but also a participant. The onlookers are because he always allows himself to be in a God -like perspective and go to insight every detail. Participation is because of essential persistence and persistence. It is deeply trapped and unable to extricate itself.

Li Jun's life creed is actually very simple. He grabbed the murderer and cracked all the cases of suspension. However, the reality is that he has the talent that is not worldly, but no one can understand, and even being regarded as a mental patient by others. Of course, from the perspective of the film settings, Li Jun can indeed be called a lunatic. However, geniuses and lunatic are often only separated by a line, and what angle is the key.

Like those "detectives" of revenge, Li Jun, a true visitor, is also a tragedy. The difference is that he has never killed his conscience, so no matter what kind of blow to face, even his daughter died in front of him. He controlled his desire and stared at the abyss. He was not swallowed up by the abyss. He fought with monsters. He did not become a monster. The film left a suspense at the end, which did not mean that Li Jun was true. The characteristics have always been characterized by the environment or not, everyone will be affected by the environment.

Second, the return of Hong Kong flavor

In recent years, audiences have complained that the original Hong Kong films have become less and less. So what is the essence of Hong Kong films or Hong Kong films? In fact, Hong Kong films are very simple. In the final analysis, eight words are "all crazy, all over the fire".

The production model of Hong Kong movies is completely different from Hollywood and the Mainland. In the early days, due to the good market, most Hong Kong films were short and fast, and they did not need a large investment. Maybe they did n’t even have the script. The consequence of this is that the Hong Kong films are very random. The places where the sky is empty and improvisation abound. Many lines and plots are temporarily flashing, but they are often talked about by later audiences.

The plot of Hong Kong films is generally ups and downs, and the personality is easy to go extreme. The performance uses a lot of physical movements and facial expressions as much as possible, so after watching too much, you will feel too hot.

The so -called Cheng also Xiao He is also Xiao He. This kind of madness allows Hong Kong films to have more space to be played at will, but it also causes the level to be uneven. Especially after the improvement of the viewing level of domestic audiences, the traditional Hong Kong films are improved. The disadvantages exposed are even more difficult to accept. In addition, the scale of today's review is getting stricter and stricter. Hong Kong films are proud of daring to shoot. "Detective War" did not bring much breakthrough in creativity, but it inherited some of the essence of Hong Kong films, the imagination of the movie was still full, and the scorching stimulus of the detectives, the thrilling stimulus of the police chasing the murder, the script of the script, the script of the script, the script of the script, the script of the script, and the script. The interlocking, easily brought the audience into the familiar atmosphere. The film is full of many Hong Kong market life. The classic cases on the mouth, fighting between the little mixed, the police bandits fiercely fighting, all reminded the audience. This is the pure Hong Kong film element, which is the place where Hong Kong films are proud.

Third, regret and advantages coexist

Although this film has many advantages, the disadvantages are also very obvious.

For a long time, the overall style of the impression of the Xinghe River has not won the picture and business elements. It pays more attention to the exquisiteness of the story itself. It is accurately grasped by the narrative rhythm. Be careful and sincere.

The plot of "Detective War" is full, but the suspense aspect is obviously insufficient. In the most critical link of the police to solve the case, there is almost no reasoning. In the later period, it was completely reduced to gun warfare. It looked very cool, but the impression of the galaxy in the centrifugal eyes was very different.

Perhaps with the upgrading of the production funding, the screenwriter of the Galaxy impression has also begun to be lazy, and he is unwilling to spend too much energy to polish the script, but wants to plug into a large number of blasting, chasing car, and action scenes to shock the audience's attention. Time can be accepted by the market, but it will make pure Hong Kong films farther and farther from the audience.

Liu Qingyun once again dedicated the film emperor's performance again. After Li Jun's dual personality split, he was obsessed with the persistence of the investigating case, and he was fascinated by his interpretation.

In fact, this character is not pleasing when he appears. Basically, if you do n’t do any pavement, you can directly enter the theme and test the audience ’s acceptance. Fortunately, Liu Qingyun’ s ability to decay into a magical ability solves this problem, so that the audience can truly enter the subsequent process. The character's heart, understanding and familiar with his way of doing things, so as to understand what he does.

The setting of Fang Lixin played by Lin Feng is very complicated. He has two sides of angels and devil. He was tortured by his mother and brother from an early age as a fuse that he would move towards the extreme in the future. However, this role's out of control later, especially the principled violence and persecution, made the audience completely unable to have any favors, and greatly reduced the charm of the character itself.

Chen Zhuoyan's Chen Yi film is set as a capable, motivated police woman, but it is easy to be blinded by emotions. There are several details and lines in the movie that she already knows the real murderer behind the scenes, but obviously has not given her enough to play enough to play enough. The space, the ability and personality of the character itself are not matched, and she repeatedly risked her belly and made various difficult and dangerous actions. actual.
