In fact, at this time, many spectators were watching with great interest.
Yes, it has the internal flavor, the internal flavor of Hong Kong movies!
In fact, many Hong Kong movies, especially police and gangster movies, always have some characteristics.
For example, a Hong Kong detective like Ho Shang-sheng has strong professional ability but low emotional intelligence. This is almost the case in most Hong Kong police and gangster movies.
Also, in Hong Kong police and gangster movies, the boss of an ordinary detective is also a highlight and feature.
For example, what Huang Qifa, He Shangsheng's boss, showed is that it makes people feel like it is still the original formula and the original taste.
This is a characteristic of Hong Kong movies. For a boss like Huang Qifa, he will definitely succeed more than he succeeds. He will definitely love and hate a male protagonist like He Shangsheng. I love his ability to handle cases. He always gets things done in his hands.
It can be solved, but I hate that he can't be a good person. His ability to do bad things and his ability to get things done are the same!
But such a boss is very cute and will not make people feel disgusted. Instead, they will feel that it is really good to have such a boss.
In fact, Huang Qifa was responsible for all the laughs in "Dark War", which can be said to be the funny one!
This character seems useless to advance the plot, but it is indispensable.
Lens transition.
Chen Weijie came to a building, entered the bathroom, and cut two lines on a piece of glass in the bathroom.
Then I came to a financial company.
He is here to kidnap, and what's interesting is that he is so elegant and personable even when kidnapping, which is completely different from the kidnappers people have always seen.
His tone of voice was not aggressive at all, but rather calm and natural.
You can even find time for a cup of coffee!
Then, after doing all this, he started to wait for the police to come to negotiate. The first negotiator was also responsible for the comedy. Well, this kind of movie will only appear in Hong Kong police movies, because the sissy negotiator
, are you kidding?
The audience also immediately thought that he should be for He Shangsheng. It can be said that this kidnapping was just to meet He Shangsheng.
The previous Andy followed and observed a series of behaviors of He Shangsheng and got a reasonable explanation. He had already planned it!
But what everyone is confused about is, why He Shangsheng?
Why did Andy do this?
The difference between "Dark War" and "Infernal Affairs" is that it has a richer suspense color and is not just a simple fight between police and gangsters!
Thus, the two faced off head-to-head for the first time, and the scene in the trailer took place.
On the rooftop, Andy is holding hostages, and He Shangsheng negotiates with him as a negotiator!
He Shangsheng: What do you want?
Andy smiled: It’s nothing, I want to play a seventy-two-hour game with you!
He Shangsheng was suspicious: You have done so many things just to play a game with me?
Andy laughed: That’s right!
The dialogue between the two is as full of Hong Kong flavor as ever! I deliberately say that this is the unique style of Hong Kong movies.
This kind of situation can never happen in mainland police movies.
Only old Hong Kong movies, only Hong Kong Island movies, would have such dialogue between thieves and policemen!
Usually, mainland police movies can never make soldiers and thieves feel sympathy for each other.
This is why Li Yi said that Hong Kong police and gangster films are the key to whether Hong Kong films can continue their past glory and occupy a place in the Chinese film market.
Because only Hong Kong movies can show these interesting things.
The theme of "Dark War" is the duel between He Shangsheng and Andy Lau.
This kidnapping case was obviously their first confrontation.
In the first duel, Huang Qifa played a key role. He Shangsheng and Hua Tsai were responsible for the duel and battle of wits and courage. While Huang Qifa was responsible for the comedy, he was also responsible for holding back.
For example, Andy holds a bomb detonator in his hand and tells He Shangsheng that it will explode if he lets go, but He Shangsheng doesn't believe it and immediately forces him to the wall!
This kind of duel is different from the duel in "Infernal Affairs"!
There is no sense of tension, but it gives people a fun feeling.
The fact is that it can be said that He Shangsheng won the first showdown!
It seems that Ho Sang-sheng was threatened by a bomb, but in fact, it was Wa Tsai who was turned over by Ho Sang-sheng. Because no matter whether the bomb was real or not, at this time, Wa Tsai was forced into a desperate situation.
Because no matter whether it is true or false, he seems to be unable to escape.
So what will happen next? The audience couldn't help but become curious.
Because at this moment, Andy was forced into a corner and he had no way out. As long as He Shangsheng didn't believe it or didn't care, there was no way he could win!
"Let go! Let go!" He Shangsheng forced Hua Tsai.
Andy held the detonator in his hand, but he still didn't let go.
At this time, Chief Inspector Huang Qifa appeared.
"I believe it, don't let go!" Chief Inspector Huang is always so timely and always appears at the most critical moment.
He Shangsheng turned around and looked at his old boss in disbelief: "That bomb is fake!"
"How do you know?" Huang Qifa asked rhetorically.
But He Shangsheng really didn't know how to explain it to him.
After all, with his IQ, he probably wouldn't understand even if it was explained.
"Can you just believe me once?" He Shangsheng said helplessly.
"Why do I believe you and not him?" Huang Qifa said confidently.
He Shangsheng's eyes widened and he was completely unable to understand Huang Qifa's brain circuit.
But Chief Inspector Huang also has his own logic: "If it explodes, I will be responsible. If it doesn't explode, it's none of my business!"
"As a policeman, can you be braver?" He Shangsheng said angrily.
"You don't know whether the bomb is real or fake!" Huang Qifa said excitedly.
He chose to believe in Hua Tsai, the gangster, rather than He Shangsheng.
The audience couldn't help but be amused!
But while laughing, it was actually obvious to many people that Huang Qifa’s approach was the right one!
Why do you say that?
Because what He Shangsheng did was actually gambling, but what Huang Qifa did was what a police officer should do.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! His sentence: If it explodes, I will be responsible. If it doesn’t, it’s none of my business!
It can be seen that he is not really stupid. He can be promoted to chief inspector because he is not incompetent. At least, the words he said show that he deserves to be promoted!
Because the decision he made was the most normal one of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
On the contrary, what He Shangsheng did was definitely not normal, but unconventional.
Moreover, what he did was absolutely illegal. Even if he succeeded in catching Hua Tsai, it was absolutely undesirable for him to do so.
No leader would like such an adventurous subordinate!
What made He Shangqi even more angry was that Andy opened the protective net of the lower passage on the rooftop and said with a smile: "Don't move, there are more than two bombs. I won't care if they explode!"
Huang Qifa quickly said: "Everyone, don't move!"
Hua Zai said in a very sullen tone: "Then you have to watch me run away!"
After saying that, he jumped down from that passage!
At this time, the manager of the financial company who was shot dead by Andy before walked out with red paint on his face.
Obviously Andy’s previous gun was also fake!
He Shangsheng pointed at the financial offensive manager and said, "Look!"
"Help, I'm not dead!" the finance company manager staggered over and shouted.
Huang Qifa was also a little dumbfounded.
The audience in the theater suddenly realized this.
Andy planned this kidnapping case, but it was not a real kidnapping at all, and when he fired the gun, he did not really kill anyone, it was just an act.
Obviously he succeeded. He might not be able to deceive He Shangsheng, but he succeeded in deceiving Huang Qifa. This is enough, isn't it?
The final result was that the thief Andy escaped successfully, and the bomb was indeed a fake!
Hua pretended to be a secret service agent at one moment and a police officer at another, successfully escaping from the police siege and swaggering away from the scene.
Interestingly, in the conversation between He Shangsheng and Huang Qifa, it was also mentioned that Hua Tsai might pretend to be a special agent or a policeman and walk out swaggeringly.
The result is really like this!
This makes it more interesting for the audience in the theater.
The thief played by Chen Weijie and the policeman played by Liang Feng are in perfect harmony with each other!
The two of them don't seem to be like cops and robbers, but more like confidants. He Shangsheng seems to know Hua Zai very well, and Hua Zai also knows He Sangsheng very well!
In this case, naturally this first duel will not end so easily.
as expected.
Wa Jai pretended to be a member of the Flying Tigers and deceived other police officers. He took a taxi and tried to escape. After the taxi drove for a while, he discovered that the driver was Ho Sang-sheng!
Thus, it can be said that the most exciting first showdown in the movie "Dark War" truly begins.
The ones before seemed to be just appetizers.
However, even so, Hua Zai didn't panic at all, as if he didn't understand what panic meant at all.
He took out a gun, and this time it was obviously not the fake gun before!
Andy was sitting in the rear driver's seat and slowly installed the silencer.
"Alone?"
"enough!"
"You don't have a gun! Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
"If you shoot me, the car will turn over!" He Shangsheng said seriously.
However, they all know each other, or understand each other.
He Shangsheng knew that Hua Tsai would not kill him.
"Yes, it's very dangerous!" Andy still looked confident.
Just as He Shangsheng knew that he would not kill him, he also knew He Shangsheng's weaknesses.
Moreover, he looked extremely calm, as if he had expected such an incident. He smiled calmly and said to He Shangsheng: "If you can send me to the police station, you win!"
Andy stuck the gun out the window and pulled the trigger.
The first bullet hit a box being moved by a porter!
"Not every shot of mine is so accurate!" Hua Zai looked at He Shangsheng and said.
This is He Shangsheng's weakness!
He may not be so afraid of death, such as betting that his bomb is fake.
He was gambling with his own life, but at this time, he didn't dare to gamble because it was someone else's life!
Of course, he did not admit defeat immediately because he knew that Hua Tsai would not really kill anyone!
But the next moment, Andy turned around and fired two more shots!
But these two shots still didn't hit anyone.
He reached out and patted He Shangsheng on the shoulder and said, "I'll shoot on the count of three!"
Then, he actually closed his eyes!
"one two three!"
When he counted to three, He Shangsheng stepped on the brakes! The gunfire rang out as expected, but it only hit an iron gate.
When he looked back, Hua Tsai had already disappeared!
In this duel, He Shangsheng lost!
The four shots of Andy Chan's character Hua Tsai are truly wonderful. It can be said that every shot was not fired casually.
In the first three shots, he did not hit anyone, and he had no intention of concealing that he would not take the initiative to kill people, but in the end he closed his eyes.
Then this shot is different.
He Shangsheng didn't dare to gamble! This was his weakness, so he lost!
There was no big scene in this wonderful showdown, but all the viewers were stunned and amazed!
A very strange thing happened. For someone like Andy Lau, especially when he closed his eyes and fired the gun at the end, it can be said that he has a feeling of disregard for human life. Normally, everyone should feel disgusted.
But no, very strangely, no one felt disgusted!
On the contrary, deep down in my heart, I subconsciously felt that it was impossible for his gun to hit anyone. Don't ask why, that's how I felt anyway!
And this is the highlight of "Dark War". There is obviously no fierce battle, but this kind of battle of wits is more exciting and enjoyable!
There are really many things to watch in "Dark War"!
For example, when the audience has just recovered from the first exciting duel scene.
Andy Chan, played by Andy Chan, got on a minibus!
The police set up a traffic jam and were obviously looking for him!
But he was still calm and elegant.
I walked to the front and sat down next to Liang Wanting, played by Xu Yunhui.
This scene, which was hailed as the most romantic encounter in Li Yi's memory, began here.
He forcibly hugged the heroine Liang Wanting, put on sunglasses on her, and still said calmly: "It will be fine if you don't say anything!"
As if this was not enough, he reached out and took off one of her headphones, let her lean on his shoulder, and listened to the music with her.
The police got into the car to check and saw him calmly hugging his girlfriend and listening to music. Naturally, they would not suspect that such a person was the robber they were looking for.
Andy successfully passed the test.
But the girl's reaction to this scene made countless viewers in the theater marvel, but at the same time, when they thought about it, they felt it was natural.
Many people don’t even understand why this happens? Why does it create a romantic feeling in people even though it is clearly being hijacked?
And some female viewers, at this moment, wish they could become Liang Wanting in the movie and experience this unique and romantic encounter!
Evading the police search, Wa Jai got out of the car first, but forgot the sunglasses he had put on her, and she got out of the car right after!
What's interesting is that Andy thought she was following him, and the audience thought so too.
But the result once again exceeded everyone's expectations.
Liang Wanting did not follow him. More than that, it can be said that by coincidence, she did live here!
After confirming that Wanting Liang was not following him, Andy was about to leave, but was stopped by Wanting Liang instead!
She ran over, lowered her head, and handed the sunglasses to Hua: "Hey! Give them back to you!"
Although she ran away immediately, the audience could feel that this encounter and the vague affection between the two slowly began from here.
Many movie fans were mesmerized by this minibus encounter!
Especially the female audience members were even more excited!
Sometimes, romance doesn’t just depend on words!
Of course, this also has a lot to do with Andy's personality.
How should I put it? From the beginning of the film to the present, although Andy is a thief, from the various behaviors he shows, he does not look like a thief at all. He is very confident and very calm in everything he does, even if it is
When he was stopped by the police, even if he got into a police car, or even if he was taking hostages, he had completely different characteristics from the gangsters the audience had seen in the past.
Moreover, he has never hurt anyone, never harmed anyone, even if he fired a gun in the car, he seemed to have no regard for life, but in fact, it turned out that he was just like He Shangsheng imagined, he would not hurt innocent people
!
This is why, when everyone sees this scene, they will take it for granted. Not only are they not disgusted with the thief Hua Zai, but they actually like him!
Because such a person is worthy of such romance!
If it was a vicious gangster, then such a plot would only make people feel sick!
However, some viewers couldn't help but frown slightly.
Why on earth does Andy want to play a seventy-two-hour game with Ho Sang-sang?
Is it just for the sake of plot?
But Li Yi shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake, right?
Because it can be said that there are many questions here: Why did he do such a thing in the last month of his life?
Just because he wants to play? What is his purpose in doing this?
But more than half an hour has passed since the movie, and people are still confused as to what his purpose is.
Although the plot is very interesting, in the first scene, He Shangsheng rescues the hostages, and in the second scene, He Shangsheng and Hua Zai face off, and Hua Zai meets a beautiful woman while escaping.
But movies always need to be logically self-consistent.
Although it doesn't mean it won't work even if there is no main plot, it will lower the overall quality of the movie by one level.
As the plot continues to advance.
Finally the main plot is out.
Everything has found its source, and it is not beyond people's expectations.
Andy wants revenge, he wants revenge!
Revenge for his father!
He will use the last period of his life to do one thing, revenge!
Everything makes sense!
He wants revenge, but it is not a simple revenge, and because the target of his revenge is very powerful, he needs helpers, and He Shangsheng is the helper he finally selected after considering for a long time.
He has enough sense of justice, strong enough business ability, and smart enough.
So, he chose him!
Such a plot is not only surprising, but also rare is that everything is logically consistent!
The story becomes complete.
When a person faces death, what will he choose to do in the last moments of his life?
Different people will have different choices! And Andy's choice can be said to be an annotation for all his actions.
He has carefully planned all this, and he has one and only one chance, whether he fails or succeeds, it is the same!
Therefore, a touch of sadness was naturally added to his body. However, in the face of death, he was still calm and calm, still graceful and confident. Who could not love him like this?
Of course, the fabrication of this story is still very fresh. The novelty is that the police are actually used as helpers for the gangsters!
Many Hong Kong filmmakers couldn't help but sigh that it can still be like this!
It's obviously full of Hong Kong flavor, but it still makes people feel novel. This is the charm of innovation!
ps: Happy Chinese Valentine's Day! No intention to harm singles!
But romance is really not about words, but... you know! Thanks to Pin Xixi, thanks to Meituan, thanks to Taocai, 10 Roses 9.9! You deserve it!
