Hero trio

Plot introduction

Dongdong (Anita Mui) and Xin Jing (Yang Ziqiong) are orphans from different families. At the age of 65,438+00, he was adopted by martial arts masters and taught martial arts. I hope they can become a pair of chivalrous women. However, when Xin Jing 12 years old, he was caught by several mysterious owners and never heard from again. When Dongdong grew up, he married a policeman, Liu Qiwen (DAMIAN LAU). Although the couple have a good relationship, Dongdong has always concealed his identity as a flash girl. Unconsciously, this secret became a gap between them. After Xin Jing was taken back to the magic palace of Chen Gonggong, an official of the Qing Dynasty, his father-in-law used magic to wash away the memory of Xin Jing and forced him to practice a kind of kung fu to relax secular desires. (Maggie Cheung) is also an innocent child caught by his father-in-law, but he is intelligent and unruly by nature. He tries his best to persuade Gu to calm down and wait for an opportunity to escape. At that time, Chen Qicai was fifteen or sixteen years old, but because the poisoning was not deep, he finally recovered his memory and ran counter to it. She chose to be a female catcher who ostensibly serves money, but in fact she has a sense of justice. The twists and turns of the story lie in the fact that the three heroines play the opposite roles of fate in a plot in which the father-in-law "steals the baby". However, mutual induction, but finally three people together, combined into one, become a "hero trio."

Creation background

The new martial arts films began to expand into the modern city, embezzling the audience of Jackie Chan's realistic martial arts films (gangster martial arts films). This trend, which started from comics, satisfies the audience's curiosity about fists, palms, swords and machine guns and grenades, and the different environments of modern cities and ancient times can also provide more freshness and excitement for the new martial arts movies that pay attention to visual effects. Around the early 1990s, this kind of martial arts films began to flood in Hong Kong, and films such as 9 1 The Condor Heroes and Modern Tathagata quickly occupied the market. However, the modern city is not the best place to cast swords after all, so it was not until the Hero Trio that the best version mode was displayed for this kind of new martial arts movies.

Film appreciation

Heroic Trio-Aesthetic Embodiment of Female Heroism This martial arts film was produced in the most glorious period of Hong Kong films, from which we can see the shadows of many classic martial arts films in that period. But what is special about it is that it blurs the boundaries of the times. You can think of it as ancient times, because there are great men (Dong Dong and Qing Qing's master), old eunuchs, guillotines and chivalrous women flashing in the world; It can also be regarded as modern, because the police, criminals and the media are all products of modern society. The scene of confrontation between police and bandits in the chemical plant reminds us of those mass-produced Hong Kong police and bandits films. It can also be regarded as the future, because the place described in the film is neither Hong Kong nor the mainland, but a society similar to democracy and state. Obviously, this kind of society can only appear in the future. Of course, the invisibility cloak does not represent science fiction, but is more like invisibility mentioned in fantasy martial arts, and the method my father-in-law used to train A Jiu and innocent children to become murder weapons is similar to the method Feng Xifan used to train Liuhe boy in Shenlong religion. Therefore, although "Hero Trio" is put on a modern coat and smacks of science fiction, it still can't get rid of the rules and regulations of authentic Hong Kong-made martial arts: the good guys beat the bad guys and finally end up perfectly! Among the three heroines, Dong Dong seems powerless. A typical China traditional woman with a good wife and a good mother, like Batman, a hero created by Hollywood, actually comes out to fight for justice every night and becomes another force to maintain social order. She is called "flash girl" by the common people. Chen Sanze is a woman whose inner world is complicated and contradictory. While helping her father-in-law to do evil, she also deeply blamed herself. She was once mired in a quagmire and could not extricate herself. It was not until the person she loved most left her that she decided to get rid of her father-in-law. Fortunately, she finally defeated herself and fought side by side with two partners with different paths, destroying the magic palace. Chen Qi, on the other hand, directed and acted, longed for freedom, acted bohemian, and was superficial and philistine, but in fact he was delicate and affectionate (which can be better reflected in the sequel "Biography of Modern Heroes"). After several disasters, Chen Qi was still lucky enough to survive, much like a cowboy in the west. Young Maggie Cheung followed the performance style in New Longmen Inn, and made the role very cute with exaggerated body language and facial expressions. Of course, personally speaking, I prefer Yang Ziqiong as Chen San, not only because it is the most gorgeous of all her screen images, but also because the scene of her struggle touches my mood. This is a sad character, and happiness is too short for her (the death in the sequel adds a bit of tragedy to the fate of this character). As for the Flash played by Mei Jie, the impression is not very deep, but a little thunder and little rain. Finally, she became a foil for Chen San and Chen Qi. But her love for her husband and children (of course, this is someone else's children) and her friendship with her sisters are still very touching. From this perspective, she is more like a love ambassador! The film is obviously to challenge the male power that has ruled the whole society for a long time. The most powerful "man" in the film is actually a castrated old eunuch, while the police chief in charge of maintaining normal social order is a cowardly and selfish villain. Although one of the two "leading men" upholds justice and the other focuses on scientific research, which exudes the unique flavor of mature men, at the critical moment, they can't even protect themselves, let alone save the world, so this important task has to be left to women. Although the previous series of "Lady Enforcers" and "Imperial Sisters" also strongly advocated female heroism, it was more about male modesty. Here, however, Yin and Yang are reversed. Compared with the tenacity of women, men are still too weak! The most commendable thing about this film is its visual language. Du Qifeng created a dark, weird and grotesque world that can exist in any time and space. Whether it's my father-in-law's smoky underground magic palace, or the scene of Chen Jiu taking his head with the guillotine at the railway station, it's chilling, as if he had come to medieval magic kingdom. The martial arts movements designed by Cheng Xiaodong are as unconstrained as ever, romantic and beautiful, which fully shows the elegant beauty of Kung Fu Woman when she punches, so that everyone can enjoy a visual feast. Among them, the launch of hidden weapons or bullets can highlight his profound directing skills. In the scene of Chen San's suicide, Chen Qi's hidden weapon and the chain of the flashing woman were killed in front of Chen San at the same time, but in less than a second, through the clever use of slow mirror and switching, they were magnified many times in the film, so that everyone could clearly see what happened at this moment, and the "wonderful hand" of movie magic playing with time and space was once again reflected! Of course, the most unforgettable scene appeared in just a few seconds when Chen San was wrapped by his father-in-law's bones. A group of fast montages quickly replays the fragments in Chen San's memory, giving people the feeling that centuries have passed. Finally, my father-in-law was defeated by her strong will, and at this time, the chain representing friendship also supported Chen San who fell into the abyss of death, forming a happy ending! Finally, with the music of The Life of Mo Wen playing, three heroines walked out of the battlefield in cloaks. In previous Hong Kong films, women have never been so beautiful. In the future, although women are more and more beautiful, people seem to miss that era more, less deliberate and melodramatic, and more intense and passionate! Maggie Cheung is rare, for example, the chic in the Hero Trio, the panic of going upstairs with one gun, the ruthlessness of doing whatever it takes to achieve the goal, and then the life-threatening hand-to-hand combat. In a blink of an eye, it is still the most real one, and even the memories can be abandoned without a trace. Finally, she made the shawl disguised as chic. In addition, it has a sequel.

Version 1

The Zhou brothers are giants in the Asian computer industry and have the richest computer kingdom in Asia.

Sunset angel poster photo (12 photos), but suddenly the company's internal computer system was paralyzed by virus infection, so I asked for help everywhere. At the same time, a mysterious master who called himself an "angel" suddenly appeared, helping them successfully solve the invading virus. The two brothers admired the talent of the "angel" and were curious about the angel himself, asking to meet him. When the "angel" went to the appointment, to the surprise of the Zhou brothers, the "angel" was actually a pair of sisters with angel faces. Two sisters, Lin (Shu Qi) and Qun (Zhao Wei), not only planned all the plans to invade Zhou Company, but also had a bigger plot, that is, to finally kill the president of Zhou Company. Policewoman Hong () participated in the investigation of the whole CEO murder case, but Hong himself had ulterior motives, so he joined hands with the "angel" sisters and started a new conspiracy. ...

Version 2

The Zhou brothers are giants in the Asian computer industry and have the richest computer kingdom in Asia. One day, their company's computer system was invaded by foreign computer viruses, and the computer system in the company was seriously damaged. At the same time, another mysterious helper suddenly appeared, and a self-proclaimed "angel" network expert also entered their computer system and successfully washed away the invading virus. After the Zhou brothers escaped this disaster, they marveled at the talent of "angels".

The Zhou brothers didn't expect "angels" to be sisters with angel faces, as the name suggests. The two sisters, named Lin, planned their own invasion and virus removal operations, with the aim of taking the opportunity to break through the company's heavy security and kill the company's big boss Zhou. The murder of monopoly attracted the intervention of the police. Hong, a witty and beautiful policewoman, was ordered to investigate the case, and Hou Lin was killed, so Hong was designated as a suspect. At this time, the group found Hong and said that she could provide a video of her sister's death, but Hong had to sneak into the group to kill people. ...

Behind the scenes production

Yuan Kui, one of the "seven little blessings" in Hong Kong's early years, like his other disciples, made a breakthrough in the Hong Kong film industry and even the world film industry through kung fu. But now, as they become more and more popular, mindless and simple kung fu can no longer satisfy their ideas. After years of martial arts instruction, Yuan Kui became more focused on directing. The movie "Sunset Angel" looks like a big production, bringing together popular stars from three places, as well as stars from South Korea and Japan. The whole movie looks very powerful and lively. It can be seen that it is not just a Hong Kong movie in a general sense, but an Asian concept movie. The investor of this film is American Columbia Company. Perhaps because of this, the film seems to be a Hong Kong-made film that is more in line with the taste of westerners. The whole movie looks beautifully packaged, the plot is carefully handled and the lens is quite beautiful, which makes it a rare romance in action movies. Although the literary drama is relatively weak, it is a pleasing enjoyment for action movie lovers.

Asian version of the detective Qiao Jiaowa

Some people regard this film as an Asian version of Charlie's Angel. If there is any similarity between the two, it must be because they both feature three women who can fight, but in fact there is not much similarity between them. Although there are three Charlie's angels, the three heroines in Sunset Angel are not all detectives, and the relationship is very subtle. They have enemies and friends, love and hate, which is obviously more tortuous than the stories of several charming children in the American version of Detective Qiaojiao. In fact, with the fame of Zhao Wei, Shu Qi and Karen Mok, every movie starring in it will have great box office appeal. Now three people co-star in a movie, which should be regarded as a luxury lineup in recent movies featuring women. Three female stars without any martial arts at all, but this time they are going to perform extraordinary kung fu masters. People can't help but want to see their performance under the training of Yuan Kui as soon as possible. Of course, with Yuan Kui's ability to grasp and dispatch action scenes, the audience has every reason to believe that the Asian detective Qiao Jiaowa is definitely better than the United States!

Another Asian concept.

In 200 1 year, the American Hollywood Columbia Film Company entered Asia for the first time, and invested in shooting the sci-fi action blockbuster Sunset Angel, which brought together popular stars from all over Asia. Asian superstars Zhao Wei, Shu Qi and Karen Mok starred, South Korea, Song Seung Heon, Japan, Yasuaki Kurata and many Hong Kong and Taiwan stars joined in, directed by Hong Kong action film director Yuan Kui. With the decline of Hong Kong films, the concept of Hong Kong films has become more and more Asian, and this trend has become obvious since last year. Yuan Kui, who has been in Hollywood for a long time, clearly understands the advantages of internationalization and asianization. Sunset Angel is a collection of stars from China, Hongkong, Taiwan Province, South Korea and Japan who are very popular in Asia recently. Zhao Wei, an Asian superstar, chose Shu Qi and Karen Mok from Hong Kong and Taiwan, Song Seung Heon from South Korea and Yasuaki Kurata from Japan as the leading roles, which can be regarded as a bold move by the American Hollywood Columbia Film Company and director Yuan Kui to enter the Japanese and Korean markets. Although Yuan Kui's action movies have a group of fans in Japan and South Korea as early as in the past, it is obviously more powerful to further tap the market of the two places with the stars familiar to the audience in the two places. The casting strategy of Columbia Film Company in Hollywood, USA is obviously a long-planned strategy. He chose Zhao Wei, a superstar who is popular in Asia, Shu Qi and Karen Mok from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and stars who are popular in Japan and South Korea, which also reflects his ambition to enter the Asian market. Even invited old stars like Deric Wan and Shi Xiu, and invited newcomers like Wei Zhihao to help out. Obviously, in addition to taking care of regional coverage, age coverage is also taken into account. If this film can make a big box office, the casting skills of the American Hollywood Columbia Film Company and director Yuan Kui can almost be studied as a theory. This concept of Asia is really bold enough.
