Chow Yun Fat spoofed one of his classic Hong Kong films, which led to a turning point in Jing Wong's career.

Shanghai Beach (1980) ushered in a turning point in Chow Yun Fat's career. Because of the role of Xu Wenqiang, Fage's acting career has reached a peak. Later, he also transformed from a TV screen to a movie screen.

Chow Yun Fat, who has just stepped into the big screen of Hong Kong films, has been tossing and turning between literary films and literary films. Literary classics such as Hu Yue's Story, Waiting for Dawn, Flower City, Love in a Fallen City, and Woman's Heart have won many best actor trophies for Chow Yun Fat and won many praises in the industry.

However, the successive failures of these literary films also made Chow Yun Fat wear the hat of "box office poison", which attracted the cold eyes of filmmakers.

In the mid-1980s, Chow Yun Fat, who fell into a career trough due to poor box office performance, encountered a major turning point in his life. From 65438 to 0986, Chow Yun Fat and John Woo collaborated on The True Color of Heroes. This work not only helped Fage get rid of the shackles of literary films, but also made him feel the taste of a box office overlord.

After The True Color of Heroes, Chow Yun Fat began to seek diversified development, trying and exploring different film types. From 65438 to 0987, Chow Yun Fat and Jing Wong cooperated in a comedy film and made the film "Chasing Women in Hardcover".

In this work, Fage made a lot of jokes and spoofs about his Hong Kong film classic "The True Color of Heroes". And this comedy with a strong "shadow plot" has also become an important turning point on the road of Jing Wong's director and an important opportunity for the two brothers' film career to rise.

Next, let's talk about this hardcover pursuit of women and talk about the anecdote behind the film.

At the beginning of the story "Chasing Women in Hardcover", director Jing Wong made a spoof of "The True Color of Heroes".

After he was released from prison, Song Zihao, who brought his own BGM, came to the "Construction Machine Shop" to look for a job. By the way, he met three employees in the car shop, Afa (Chow Yun Fat), traffic light (Chen Baixiang) and Funny (Ceng Zhiwei).

In The True Color of Heroes, Song Zihao successfully got a job in a car dealership. In this hardcover "Chasing Girls", uncle Jian (played by Feng Cuifan), the owner of the car dealership, drives the car out of the door to avoid getting into trouble.

After Song Zihao left, Afa took a phone call, skipped the traffic lights and had a funny job.

It turns out that Afa's girlfriend Min Min (played by Sharla Cheung) wants to take Afa to see her mother. The first time I met my future mother-in-law, Afa was very nervous, so she called the traffic lights, which was not funny at all, and left with her.

Min Min's mother is snobbish and greedy. As soon as we met, we said that our birthday was coming and we wanted a set of gold jewelry. Afa was embarrassed on the spot when she first met this scene. The traffic lights were outspoken and criticized Min Min's mother's greed for money. As a result, the meeting fell through

On Min Min's mother's birthday, she held a banquet in Fenglinju Hotel. Afa came to apologize to Min Min's mother with gifts and traffic lights.

It's not funny to see a man in a cloak in the corridor of the hotel. The man used drunkenness as an excuse to hide the gun in flower pots on both sides of the corridor.

It's not funny. I understand that this person is Mark, and he should be the later bloody battle in Fenglinge. At this time, it is not funny to find that this hotel is called "Fenglinju" instead of "Fenglinge". So he told Mark this detail.

Mark, who found himself in the wrong place, quickly retrieved the gun from the flowerpot and took a taxi to Fenglinge.

"Not Funny" saved Mark's mistake, and "Traffic Lights" failed to save Afa's mistake.

At the banquet, the traffic lights apologized for the unpleasantness. But Min Min's mother prefers material compensation to verbal apology. Min Min's mother took a fancy to a set of jewelry and asked Afa to help her pay.

Afa saw that Min Min's mother was so greedy and poor that she chose to break up with Min Min. Afa was depressed after breaking up. In order to cheer Afa up quickly, Uncle Jian, the boss, decided to travel to Penang, Malaysia with Afa, funny and traffic lights.

Uncle Jian signed up for a tour group, but he was cheated by the travel agency. A "first-class hotel" is actually a small hotel with three people in one bed. The agreed "seven-day tour of Penang" ended hastily after only three days.

Although he encountered many setbacks during his trip, during his stay in Penang, Afa met a girl named Dong (played by).

Dong lives in the presidential suite of a luxury hotel, accompanied by an assistant, just like a rich girl. In order to help Afa pursue Dong, Uncle Jian, the traffic lights and Funny pretended to be housekeepers and servants, and lied that Afa was a rich second generation.

Actually, Dong is not a rich girl. She and her friend Wen Zi (played by Jiang Liping) are both employees of a beauty salon. Because I was attracted by an advertising company and took an advertisement, I had the opportunity to stay in a luxury hotel.

After a few days of getting along, Afa and Dong have a good impression on each other. On the return trip of the tour group, Afa asked Dong's contact information, hoping to continue the frontier after returning to Hong Kong.

After returning to Hong Kong, Mr. Chen, an old customer of the car dealership, opened a new upscale club and held a fancy dress ball. Mr. Chen gave Uncle Jian two tickets, and Uncle Jian also gave them to Afa.

Afa called to invite Dong to the dance with herself. Dong borrowed a beautiful dress for fear that his identity would be exposed. Afai, who didn't want to be caught, borrowed a luxury car from an old customer of the car dealership.

Afa and Dong confided in each other, and their relationship also progressed rapidly. However, at the dance, Mr. Zhao (played), a rich man, fell in love with Dong at first sight and showed his love many times, only to be teased by Afa. Angry, Mr. Zhao decided to catch up with Dong in 10 days.

Through his personal relationship, Mr. Zhao learned the details of Dong and Afa. After learning that both of them were posing as celebrities, Mr. Zhao exposed Afa's true identity in front of Liang for the first time, which split their feelings. After that, he held another dance, trying to "drug" Dong at the dance and take advantage of him.

In order to prevent Afa from disturbing the plan, Mr. Zhao framed Uncle Jian and others for "possession of drugs" in the garage. As a result, Afa, Uncle Jian, Funny, and the traffic lights were all caught. At the critical moment, Song Zihao with BGM suddenly appeared and bailed Afa, Uncle Jian and others out of the "police station".

At the end of the story, Afa and his friends mingled with Mr. Zhao's dance and rescued Dong. Afa and Dong, who knew each other's identity, also put aside their differences and came together.

After the hardcover "Chasing Girls", director Jing Wong still does not forget to spoof a hero. In the egg at the end of the film, Afa, traffic lights and funny people all made a fortune 20 years later, while Mr. Zhao, a former rich man, had a broken leg and, like Mark, was down and out cleaning cars in the street.

The birth of this hardcover Chasing Women is of great significance to Jing Wong.

In his early years, influenced by his father Wang Tianlin, Jing Wong became interested in film creation and entered the film industry as a screenwriter in the late 1970s.

198 1 year, Jing Wong transformed into a director and directed his first film "A Thousand Kings Fight a Thousand Overlords". Although the quality of this film "Thousands of Kings Fight Thousands of Overlords" is excellent, gambling movies were not popular in the Hong Kong film market in the early 1980s, and kung fu comedies were the mainstream consumption of the audience.

Under the influence of the big environment, the film "Thousands of Kings Fight Thousands of Overlords" failed to shine after its release.

After "Thousands of Kings Fight Thousands of Overlords", Jing Wong began to explore and try film works with different themes, trying to find his own film style.

1983, Jing Wong filmed Little Flower Heart with the theme of urban love. After the film was released, it achieved good box office results. After the film, Jing Wong also set his creative direction on the shooting of romantic comedies.

After Little Playboy, Jing Wong also produced The Frog Prince, I Love Rolando, Ghost Horse Flying, Modern Fairy Tales and other works. Although these works have also achieved good box office results, most of them are suspected of following the trend of "New Art City Comedy" in film style.

However, since the hardcover Chasing Girls, Jing Wong's comedies have gradually formed their own characteristics.

The symbolic symbols of Jing Wong films, such as the "shit element" in the language of lines, large-scale welfare on camera and frequent and intensive parody, are gradually formed in this hardcover Chasing Girls. These special film symbols also accompanied Jing Wong to the peak of his directing career in the early 1990s.

This hardcover "Chasing Women" not only has a unique significance to Jing Wong's film road, but also has a far-reaching impact on Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng's film road.

In the early 1980s, Yongsheng Film was established in partnership with two brothers, Watson and Xiang Huaqiang. 1984, "Yongsheng Film" filmed the entrepreneurial work "Bad Size". After the film was released, the box office performance was bleak. Before the start, Yongsheng Film fell heavily on the starting line.

After suffering from setbacks of various sizes, Yongsheng Film fell into a period of silence. 1986, he made another shot at the Xiang brothers and planned to shoot the magical action film Fantasy Cui. Although this work didn't suffer a market crash like "Bad Size", its performance after release was also unremarkable.

1987, "Yongsheng Film" cooperated with "Merrill Lynch Film", * * * co-produced this hardcover pursuit of women, and invited Chow Yun Fat, who was hot at that time.

With Chow Yun Fat's box office appeal and the wonderful comedy bridge design in the story, this hardcover film chasing girls has won more than HK$ 2,654,380+million after it was released in the Hong Kong film market, and it has rushed into the top ten of the annual box office list. With the popularity of this hardcover girl-chasing film, "Yongsheng Film" has officially started its own brand.

After the success of chasing girls in hardcover, Xiang Huaqiang and the two brothers Xiang Watson struck while the iron was hot and planned two sequels, Hardcover Chasing Girls 2 and Hardcover Chasing Girls 3.

The trilogy "Chasing Women in Hardcover" was a big hit at the box office, which made the Xiang brothers rise rapidly in the film industry, and their producer's name also resounded for a while. 1989 The birth of "Gambling God" opened a new era of career development for the Xiang brothers.
