The best actor hatched from this film has ruled the Hong Kong film industry for 30 years.

Some time ago, a movie "Speed and Passion 8" showed the world the enthusiasm of China people to watch movies. The first week's box office reached $532 million, setting a new box office record for the film's first week.

However, this adrenaline-crazy blockbuster was a bit of a failure.

Poison Jun has seen such a gunfight film-no explosion scene, no big scene, and no big production. A few pistols make people drunk enough to call them masterpieces.

The director felt uneasy after filming the film, so he let his old partner Wei Jiahui watch the demonstration. After watching it, Wei Jiahui said to the director, "This is your best film."

The director is Du Qifeng.

This movie is-

gunfire

task

"Gunfire" tells a very simple story: the five-man death squad protects the gang boss who is being hunted down. After the mission, one of them was assigned to kill the one in the group of five who had an affair with his eldest sister-in-law.

At the beginning of the film, Lin Xue plays A Fei, a social idle person, and connects four other people in series.

Barber ghost,

Mike the pimp,

Young and dangerous, Alai,

Loy's younger brother A Xin.

Brother Wen, the boss of the underworld, was hunted down in Obi's restaurant, so he decided to set up a death squad.

▲ Wen Ge's hairstyle is very similar to Mr. Lu Xun, a great writer.

Because of their superb killing skills, these five men were invited by Nan Ge, the second person in the underworld, to protect Govin.

From different places, there are naturally factions. For example, Gui is with Teddy, Loy is with A Xin, and Mike belongs to middle school.

▲ From left to right are teddy boy, Mike, Agui, Alai and A Xin.

Let the death squads twist into a rope, there must be a leadership core. It needs a ghost to finish it.

If the ghost wants to gain leadership, he should persuade Loy.

By chance, a Gui found that a man named Mouse had been making a scene with Loy.

Just when Alai was angry with the mouse, the camera gave A Gui a close-up.

The death squads were ambushed and there was a fierce gun battle. In this process, a Gui used the tone of the boss to let Alai rush up.

Loy was not satisfied, but he rushed up. When he came back, he found that everyone had dispersed.

This made Loy very dissatisfied. He found the ghost who was on the phone and began to say nothing. No matter how Loy hits, the ghost won't fight back.

The ghost needs to do one thing to convince Loy. So, he drove away the mouse behind Loy by himself.

Shooting the scene of Huang Qiusheng killing mice, Du Qifeng asked, how to shoot it well?

Huang's answer is ordinary and simple. So there is this scene of killing people in the bunker.

This deratization action not only helped Alai clean up his worries, but also established Agui's personal prestige.

From then on, the ghost is the captain of the death squad.

In fact, A Gui's killing of rats was definitely carefully planned.

When riding with Loy, when I heard Loy's anger, Gui was already preparing to solve the problem for Loy. (Use the previous screenshot again)

After the first gunfight experienced by five soldiers, Alai came to settle accounts with A Gui, and A Gui called and said, "I don't care, find him for me anyway." At this time, A Gui has been investigating the mouse and intends to get rid of him.

"Gunfire" is full of foreshadowing, with concise narrative but rich details. Every time you brush it, there will be new surprises.

Is this the only gunfight film in Hong Kong that can present such a rich latent text?

As a result, many netizens think that "Artillery" is a film that they didn't understand until they watched it for ten years.

A Gui established the core position of the death squad leader and led the team to complete the task of protecting big brother Lu Xun. The most impressive one was the gun battle in Tsuen Wan Shopping Mall. Eight-character description: "Relaxation is moderate and soul-stirring."

The coquettish posture of the five-person team escorting the boss is very rhythmic and looks very calm.

Suddenly the gun went off and a gunfight broke out. No high-sounding bullets flying around, no shouting of "protect the boss", and quickly killed the sneak attacker.

This is very cool.

When five people covered Brother Wen, their positions were uneven, which was typical of "Du Qifeng style".

The purpose of gun battle to create a static atmosphere is to accumulate more tension and increase the pleasure of watching movies.

Many years later, someone asked Du Qifeng why he shot like this. He said, "To save money."

The gun battle in Tsuen Wan Shopping Mall tempered the team, and they finally found the murderer who assassinated Brother Wen, the separatist.

In fact, the split man has appeared many times in the movie. He was the one who chased brother Wen at the Chinese Obi-Wan restaurant.

He was also involved in the shooting of the Tsuen Wan Shopping Center.

On him, I found the words Obi-Wan Restaurant.

The owner of Obi's restaurant is ChristianRandPhillips.

The truth is clear: ChristianRandPhillips was the culprit behind the assassination, and the reason was unfair distribution.

After ChristianRandPhillips was killed, the death squads could not be disbanded.

Brother Nan, the second in command, told Gui that he had a new task-to kill A Xin.

Reason: A Xin slept with his eldest sister-in-law.

Young and dangerous A Xin, the eldest brother is Loy.

Young and lustful, this film has been carefully prepared. For example, A Xin would sneak a look at female employees.

A Xin met her sister-in-law on a rainy day, and her eyes were ambiguous.

A Xin sent his sister-in-law home very late and told others that the car broke down. But Loy found an ulterior secret in A Xin's clothes-A Xin slept with her eldest sister-in-law.

▲ The details of the gun fire are very clever. As long as you understand the beauty of these details, the stories of these five men will make all men happy for twenty years.

Then the problem is coming. How did Big Brother know that he was green by A Xin?

(The following is poison YY. If you have any brilliant ideas, please discuss them in the comments section. )

First of all, ghosts can't tell on you. As a top killer with high EQ and IQ, A Gui won't do anything to get himself into trouble.

Secondly, Loy is the boss of A Xin, and it is his style to protect his younger brother, which is even more impossible.

So the informant is fat? No

When Pell wants to kill A Xin, Teddy boy will also go to Vingo to plead for A Xin.

Mike is probably a snitch. He has publicly stated that he will hang out with Legg in the future.

When A Xin is killed, Mike will be promoted to Alai's assistant. This calculation sounds reasonable.

If this inference holds, the brotherhood in the fire will collapse completely.

Therefore, Mike is suspected of snitching, but he is not the only suspect.

In the film, Nan Ge's eyeliner A Jiu is also very suspicious. Nan Ge once asked A Jiu to follow his sister-in-law.

But no matter who the informant is, it has happened irrevocably.

Poison Jun mentioned in his last article that A Gui is a top killer with high IQ and EQ.

The dilemma faced by A Gui is that if A Xin is not killed, the underworld represented by Nan Ge will not agree. If A Xin is killed, A Xin's eldest brother Loy won't agree.

A Xin must kill people, which is the attitude of ghosts.

This meal should be the saddest meal in A Xin, and no one will enjoy it without it.

At the same time, A Fei ran to ask Brother Wen to intercede, only to see his cheating sister-in-law killed. Knowing that intercession is hopeless, come and tell them that eldest sister-in-law is dead.

A Gui reacted quickly and immediately shot and killed A Xin.

After hearing the gunshot, A Jiu told Nan Ge outside the hotel that A Xin was dead.

Just when Teddy boy thought A Xin was dead, Pell threw him a hollow bullet.

Teddy boy unexpectedly smiled deeply.

The ghost also showed a meaningful smile.

Short bullets are not fatal. Even if A Xin is not dead, he will disappear.

This ending is Du Qifeng's view of rivers and lakes conveyed by gunfire, and brotherhood is greater than heaven. In the face of Jianghu rules, it is better to seek a way out than to violently resist.

Many years later, when Du Qifeng was promoting a movie, someone asked him which movie he liked best.

Du Qifeng, who has become a big shot, has created many excellent works. And his answer to his favorite movie is: gun fire.

The artillery fire took only 19 working days. This film brings together almost all the powerful actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan. The cast includes Yam Tat-wah, Huang Qiusheng, Wu Zhenyu, Jackie Lui and Roy Cheung. However, these are relatives and friends who are paid very little, and they only charge a little service fee symbolically.

You know, the whole movie only has a small investment of 2.5 million. However, after the film was released, it became a dark horse at the box office with five times the investment.

The film performed well at the Academy Awards and the Golden Horse Awards, and Du Qifeng won the Golden Elephant and the Golden Horse Awards for Best Director. Du Qifeng was evaluated at the Academy Awards:

"With a bold trend, the director concentrated his firepower on concocting a gangster's game of wits, with a unique style and high spirits. Among them, the dark field confessed, the simple style was concise and profound, and several gun battles were classic designs."

Wu Zhenyu, who plays Alai in the film, beat Tony Leung Chiu Wai in In the Mood for Love and won the Golden Horse Award. You know, Tony Leung Chiu Wai won the Cannes Best Actor Award for In the Mood for Love.

This is the only Niu X movie incubator in Hong Kong.

Lin Xue, who plays the fat man, won the best male match in Golden Horse. Lin Xue won the prize, which didn't disappoint Du Qifeng.

Due to the shortage of funds when shooting Gunshots, Du Qifeng asked other actors to do it once, and gave Lin Xue all the opportunities for ng.

There was another interesting thing when shooting-the crew was shooting in a restaurant in Hong Kong and Kowloon, and suddenly several triad members broke in and demanded protection money from Du Qifeng.

A gangster was blackmailed by the underworld. People can't help feeling that sometimes reality is more dramatic than movies.
