"Anti-corruption Storm 3" exhibition pure Hong Kong-style action drama, the ancient boy becomes a lonely hero.
1905 movie network news At the end of the 20th century, Hong Kong was swept by the Asian financial turmoil. Although it stopped its losses in time, the already depressed film industry was hit again. After that, Hong Kong movies were like a typhoon crossing the border, with clear skies and withered plants. The word "storm" is well used in the names of Hong Kong films to describe the intense plot and complex influence of the story, just as it was recently released and received a good response.
Director Lin Delu’s Anti-corruption Complex
As a director, Lin Delu made many achievements at the end of last century. So far, there are only three works in the new century, namely the trilogy of Anti-Corruption Storm. If it is an ordinary commercial movie, don’t mention it, but from the movie title, we can see that "Anti-Corruption Storm" is related to anti-corruption. In the 1970s, corruption was serious in Hong Kong, which was effectively solved after the establishment of the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption in 1974. In 1975, Wu Siyuan wrote and directed it, which was a tribute to this feat of law enforcement.
The Anti-Corruption Storm is also a story about the Independent Commission Against Corruption. The Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is an anti-corruption organization. At the beginning of its establishment, it was defined as "an independent anti-corruption organization that has nothing to do with any government department, including the police". In the 1970s, in Hong Kong, from senior officials to the grassroots, even firefighters had to collect money when they went out to put out fires. Classic, such as "The Biography of 500 million Detective Mayor", joked about the chaos of police corruption and gang crimes in that era. At the beginning of the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the Hong Kong police were reorganized. As a result, the two sides have a bad feeling. Although they are all law enforcement departments, they are always rubbing against each other. Lin Delu once had the working experience of the ICAC, and he restored the details carefully.
Lu Zhilian became a lonely hero, chasing cars and fighting in turn.
In "Anti-Corruption Storm 1", Louis Koo plays Lu Zhilian, the chief investigator of Lian Ji, and Lin Jiadong plays Huang Wenbin, the superintendent of the Commercial Crime Search Bureau, which is in constant conflict. Huang Wenbin was reported for corruption, and Lu Zhilian was in charge of the investigation. The relationship between police and honesty was already tense, so when Lu Zhilian wanted to take Huang Wenbin away for trial, he was blocked by other police officers. When being interrogated in Huang Wenbin, Lu Zhilian brought a cup of Longjing to Huang Wenbin. Huang Wenbin said, your ICAC only has coffee. Lu Zhilian said that we have many kinds of drinks, and the ICAC will change. The coffee here is a cultural symbol of the ICAC. Generally, people invited to the ICAC for investigation will be asked, "Do you want coffee?" Over time, the reputation of Lianji Coffee spread out.
Lu Zhilian deliberately emphasized "change" in front of Huang Wenbin. Good people will go bad, and good policemen will turn black. Nothing is absolute. Even Lu Zhilian’s identity as the chief investigator of Lian Ji will be discredited by others. In "Anti-Corruption Storm" 1 and 2, Lu Zhilian narrowly missed two corruption cases. Shooting the third film, the case is still heavy, and the plot has also made a different design. The villains in the movie are upgraded in an all-round way, and they are brave and resourceful. Since Lu Zhilian is their greatest enemy, we should bring him down before committing a crime. Kidnapping is too ostentatious, and framing looks even better. In particular, Lu Zhilian is also the first person to fight corruption and meet the necessary conditions of "black under the lamp". Therefore, in the third part, Lu Zhilian faced an identity crisis for the first time. In the past, only he investigated others, but now he has become the investigated party.
"Anti-corruption Storm 3" is also known as "L Storm", and the letter L stands for an internal investigation and supervision unit in the Independent Commission Against Corruption — — Group l It can also be said that Group L is a chain that binds the ICAC. After all, the greater the power, the greater the risk of abuse of power. Group L appeared in Anti-Corruption 1, when Lu Zhilian took over a major corruption case, and the Deputy Director of the ICAC secretly sent Group L to investigate Lu Zhilian. After Lu Zhilian found out, the deputy director explained that he didn’t want to see a pile of black files of Lu Zhilian on his desk when the case was clear, thus affecting the detection of the case. It can be seen from this that the anti-corruption job is difficult for ordinary people to do.
Lu Zhilian is clean, but there are no black spots, but it is also the biggest flaw. After being framed for accepting bribes of 12 million yuan, Lu Zhilian was taken back as the investigation director. His team members believe him, but Group L can only consider the worse possibility. Lu Zhilian, who is alone, is still pursuing the truth without the protection of official status. The image of a righteous and lonely hero will leap on the screen.
Not only in the image of the characters, Anti-Corruption 3 has changed, followed by the expansion of the film type elements.The first two films are mainly about combing the plot clues, and they are not too fancy in action scenes, and they are more inclined to plot crimes. "Anti-Corruption 3" has taken a big step towards action crime, and the proportion of car chasing dramas and martial arts dramas has increased significantly. After the battle, it seems that Louis Koo hasn’t forgotten the movements he learned. Although he didn’t play much in Anti-Corruption 3, he can still see the shadow of his vigorous skill in Wolf. Just like Wu Yue provoked the action drama in "Wolf", there is also a kung fu show in "Anti-Corruption 3".
Although Vic Zhou played the role of killer in Anti-Corruption 2, it finally took on the emotional support of the film. In Anti-Corruption 3, the role of Tian Nan is more pure, a villain with high IQ and high force value. Not only is he an IT expert who can quickly launder money, but he can also save himself from danger with martial arts. Proper super villain setting, but unfortunately the biggest BOSS is not him. Why? Because there are too many villains in Anti-Corruption 3. Unlike the first two films, the black hand behind the scenes was brought to justice in the end, and Anti-Corruption 3 set up several layers of inversion, which was enough to make the viewing experience more fun.
Role identity is difficult to predict. Hong Kong-style male gods are busy harvesting.
The interesting thing about the series "Anti-Corruption Storm" is that anyone can become another character in the next one except Louis Koo’s Lu Zhilian. Liao Qizhi, who was a private detective in the first film, played the boss of money laundering in the third film. Jiang Haowen, who was still a policeman in the first movie, became a gangster of usury in the second movie.
Although there is no absolute female host in the anti-corruption series, the male god has harvested wave after wave. The first drama, Gu Zi and Lin Jiadong; In the second part, in addition to Gu Zi and Chilam Group cp, TVB male gods Lin Baoyi and Vic Zhou also have wonderful performances; In the third part, I brought Kevin Cheng as the leader of Group L, and staged a tit-for-tat drama with Lu Zhilian. In the name of people, which started broadcasting last year, ranked third in the annual broadcast volume. The topic of anti-corruption has aroused heated discussion among the whole people.
The starring actors endorsed the pure "Hong Kong flavor" of Hong Kong films in the golden age and were sought after.
Taking history as a mirror, corruption is like an ant nest built on the embankment of a thousand miles; For the people, it brings great harm and pain. The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) was established in the clamor of the people of Hong Kong, and in the following decades, Hong Kong has been rectified into "recognized as one of the cleanest regions in the world". There are many successful film and television works, which reflect the current social situation. This time, three in the name of people actors starred in Anti-Corruption 3, and the collision of two anti-corruption IP themes on the big screen opened up a new road. Tell the story of corruption with movies, not just on the small screen. After all, the influence of the two media is still different.
This time, "Anti-Corruption Storm 3" was filmed in Hong Kong, and it was no longer a simple prospect or night scene, but really integrated into Hong Kong. Like chasing scenes in narrow corridors and yacht fighting scenes, people are in a trance, as if they were scenes of Hong Kong classic action movies. Louis Koo and Roland’s tender feelings, as well as Kevin Cheng, Tan Yaowen, Xie Tianhua and Liao Qizhi … they are the witnesses of the Hong Kong film moderns, and they are also the spokespersons of Hong Kong films.
