The mayor has just arrived in Hong Kong and has little knowledge. He decided to join the police force to make a living. After knowing lard boy, he was born in the lower class and often instilled in Lei the skills of gangsters to make a living. The veteran had a good eye for heroes and became Lei's teacher and friend. Later, he was promoted as a special agent and became a stepping stone for Inspector Chang Hua. Lei Chu debuted with pride, did not go with the flow, and became the target of public criticism. In the meantime, he met the girl Xia and fell in love, but Xia's father strongly opposed it, which made it difficult to get married. ...

Biography of the 500 million detective mayor is an important work when the biographical trend of Hong Kong film industry started, which occupies a very important position in film history. The film is divided into two episodes. The first episode is Lei Laohu, and the second episode is the love between father and son. The total box office revenue of the two episodes was HK$ 53 million, exceeding the 39 million of The Ancestor and Lame Hao.

The film was produced by Jing Wong and Xiang Huasheng, filmed by Liu Weiqiang and Ziheng Li, produced by Shaoqi Mo, directed by Yuan Kui and David Lai, written by Chen Wenqiang, directed by Liu Guochang and starring Andy Lau, Zhang Min, Wu Mengda, Guan Haishan, Aaron Kwok, Qin Pei and Qiu Shuzhen. I have seen many movies of Hua Zai, and I always think that these two movies are his masterpieces of acting. From a young policeman to an all-powerful police tycoon in his later years, the time span between them even exceeds the "lame man" played by Lv Liangwei, which shows the strength of Andy! It is worth mentioning that this film can be said to be the first cooperation between the two kings. Hanako and Aaron Kwok, who just became popular in Xiangjiang, played a pair of father and son in Love between Father and Son, which was very hard to find (the other time was 9 1 The Condor Heroes). In the same year, Aaron Kwok played the villain "Silver Fox", and Hanako played opposite each other more than the love between father and son). Another veteran, Guan Haishan, who played the old detective "Uncle" in Lei Laohu, won the Hong Kong Film Academy Award and the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Award for "Best Supporting Actor" for this film. Uncle Xia's film works are not many (mostly TVB TV series), but the first shot has achieved impressive results, and the veteran has a deep posture! The other two supporting actors, Ng Man Tat and Qin Pei, also performed well, so the two legends of "The Mayor" can be said to be largely won by the actors' acting skills.

As we all know, the prototype of "mayor" is Lv Le, the former chief inspector of China. After being wanted by ICAO, this once brilliant policeman fled to Canada, then went to Taiwan Province Province, and has not returned to Hong Kong since ICAO's wanted order is still valid. However, after becoming an ordinary person, Lv Le is still the boss. At that time, I asked Watson and Xiang Huaqiang to ask Lv Le to invest in filming his biography. Lu Lecai agreed only when they were related to him by blood, but in any case, his original name was not allowed. Moreover, he is still upset that Andy Lau didn't visit him after filming. It seems that the identity of the old man has changed, but his "status" has never changed! Two movies let me witness the "transformation" process of the "mayor". When the police first took office, he refused to take bribes. At that time, even firefighters and hospital nurses in Hong Kong were greedy for money, and they had to pay "throat fees" before putting out fires. It can be said that everyone was greedy. By this time, the mayor was completely "clean"! Later, he realized that in that hopeless era, only by relationship and bribery could he climb to the peak of power, so there was a dialogue with Lei Laohu: "I want to be greedy for this matter, enough for me to be greedy for 100 million!" Compared with the image of the Chief Executive sneering at colleagues' speeches at the beginning, it also shows that society has changed one's thoughts and values in tangible and intangible ways, and one has learned to adapt to a social form. This change is undoubtedly more infectious and profound! Lei Laohu mainly tells the history of the mayor's struggle, while Love between Father and Son focuses on emotional entanglements. When it comes to nervousness, Lei Laohu is better, while the love between father and son is more tender and weak, such as the love between father and son, the big scene of "1957 Kowloon riots" in Lei Laohu. Strictly speaking, "Lei Laohu" allows the audience to see more about the social environment at that time in the history of the mayor's development, while "Love between Father and Son" is more "personal", emphasizing the emotional entanglement between the mayor and two women and sons, and his rise is a foil. In the end, the establishment of ICAC was just a flash in the pan and ended in a hurry. As for the ICAC wanted for the mayor at that time, it was almost silent! Meanwhile, did the mayor finally make up with his son? Although a smile between two people seems to represent reunion, there is no following, and I don't know if it is an oversight of the plot. However, director Lawrence Ah Mon grasped the narrative rhythm of the film well and unfolded it in a straight line without much carelessness in the plot. Instead, it gives the audience a more concise feeling. Two episodes of the story come down with nothing, how to delay, but more completely present the mayor's life. This fluent technique makes us feel that narrative is faster than slow, at least there are not too many unnecessary plots in the film. It seems that Lawrence Ah Mon's balance in this respect is still very accurate. Just right, so that the plot is not too loose. Whether it is Lei Laohu or Love between Father and Son, the progressive development of the plot is rigorous, the rhythm is practical, the speed is clear, and there is no imbalance. It's really rare for a director to have such ability!

At the beginning of Lei Laohu and the end of the father-son relationship, the mayor said the same thing: "Eat!" But his identity has changed. At first, he was a poor mainlander and didn't know how to read. Finally, he became a rich old man who walked leisurely in a mansion. From poverty to wealth, the simplest word "eat" has never left the mayor. When he finally left the police and enjoyed life abroad, he was no longer a fierce man. He is just an ordinary man. The simple requirement of that year was: "Eat!" This also occupied his life. In fact, in those days, it was just for eating. You know, in Hong Kong at that time, especially the police, there was no corruption but no money and no status! Therefore, as the mayor said, "The hardest thing to do is to eat!" Because of this sentence, he also had a comment in the movie: "His achievements are enviable, but his behavior is evil!" At the same time, in Love between Father and Son, the mayor's behavior becomes very arrogant. It can be found that his mouth movements are very "flexible" and he is a "boss" figure. His hair is combed back with silver, and he always holds a cigarette in his hand. With his arrogant smile, he has become a real tycoon. He's brave! If you pay more attention, you can find that at the banquet, Mayor disdained to let his men take his son's business card, turned a deaf ear to his son's ridicule, and said with a cigarette in his mouth, "I see how they play me to death!" "It is an excellent embodiment of this arrogant temperament. Andy has a good grasp of these places. Moreover, when discussing with his men at home, the mayor became a face of vicissitudes, and his voice was very low. When he saw the news report of the establishment of ICAO, his expression changed, which once again contrasted with his arrogance, reflecting his inner fear of ICAO and making his crimes clearer! In the two episodes, Huazi did not show an imbalance in each gradual change of expression and action, but handled it quite well, living out the violent process of the mayor from youth to middle age. How can the audience not marvel!

The opening ceremony of "Lei Laohu" was a morning exercise for a group of policemen. Duke Zhou's music has a strong sense of rhythm, which exaggerates the atmosphere of character training and is full of rigor. At the same time, this scene all uses dim blue tones, showing a sense of confusion in the morning. Many scenes of the film are set in the evening, such as those humble stalls and messy streets, which have a unique flavor against the dim light and show the landscape of Hong Kong at that time. The scene of the mayor being beaten by a "rattlesnake" and the thunder coming forward to save his uncle is also very violent. The rattlesnake buckled the mayor with a urinal, which is also very realistic. As for the Kowloon riots, the brightness of the scene was added by the surrounding fire. The chaos is mixed with the red flag of the mainland and the blue flag of Taiwan Province Province, which produces wonderful visual effects and makes the film more realistic, and the audience seems to be in it. Lei Laohu's cooperation in all aspects is brilliant, including photography, art, editing and lighting arrangement. They are all very good combinations, which have played a great role in increasing the visual effect and real strength of the film. Personally, I feel that the love between father and son is monotonous and repetitive, and its flexibility is definitely not as good as that of Lei Laohu. In addition, another outstanding feature of the film is that in order to sit in the position of inspector, it takes a lot of space to depict the intrigue between the mayor and the "child's eye" (that is, Xiong Yan). At first, he was the boss in front of the mayor, and even Lei's father was a little in awe of him. Later, the mayor sat in the position of chief inspector, exceeding it, and Yan felt like a younger brother. I always feel that Chen Wenqiang's depiction of children's eyes is somewhat exaggerated, and the change of their status is obviously unconvincing. In a word, the image of this role is obviously distorted, which sometimes makes the audience feel at a loss, but Qin Pei's interpretation of the role is still very successful. Lawrence Ah Mon is here.

In Love between Father and Son, the Blue River (that is, Lan Gang) is also involved, played by Xiang Huaqiang (The Legend of the Blue River Against the Flying Trapezes is also directed by Lawrence Ah Mon and starred by Xiang Huaqiang). After two films, there are already three detectives. Although there is still a "Han Sen" missing, the plot tension is obviously stronger than that of the "Four Detectives"!

Guan Haishan's performance can almost steal Andy's thunder, especially in the end, the performance is very wonderful. I can see that Uncle Shrimp is also working hard for that scene. Ng Man Tat has always appeared as Hua Tsai's "sidekick", and his play space is limited. Sharla Cheung's performance was overshadowed by Chingmy Yau, especially the dialogue between two women. Zhang is not as good as Qiu at all. Many sensational parts of the film were left to Qiu (such as Farewell to the Hospital), but Zhang became a supporting role! At that time, Aaron Kwok's acting skills may be a little naive, and his role as the son of the mayor was a bit far-fetched. He doesn't think "dad" is so wonderful every time, and he doesn't appear many times. Coupled with other reasons, many aspects of the role can not be shown. "Father-son love" seems to be unable to spark the film, and its credibility is indeed insufficient. As for Long Fang, Han Kun, Wai-Man Chan, Tien Tian and many other guest stars, they are all "inertia performances", but they still steal the camera, especially Long Fang, whose acting skills are really good! But in any case, the actors' performances are excellent as a whole, and because of their interpretation, the realistic effect of the film is enhanced, which is worth encouraging!

Although the Biography of 500 million Detective Mayor is a follow-up work, it has always been an important biographical film in the history of Hong Kong movies. With its distinctive rhythm, excellent acting skills and fluent photography, art, editing and lighting, the film has a very skilled technical texture and excellent narrative skills, and it can also be called Lawrence Ah Mon's film masterpiece.
