Speaking of the underworld in Hong Kong, the first impression that pops up in many people’s minds is probably the invincible young and Dangerous boy, a pheasant holding a machete on the side of the road with a cigarette in his mouth, and Chen Haonan on the bloody streets of Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. . However, the scenes that make adrenaline soaring are always just movies, and they are made up by people. The real Hong Kong underworld is not that way. Although the underworld in real life is not as high-profile as in the TV series, it is still frightening.
The Hong Kong underworld in the 1980s almost covered the sky with one hand. The stars of that era looked very beautiful, but they were actually puppets that were pinned down by others. People told you to go east and you didn’t dare to go west. Others told you to sing. I dare not go on stage to act. And now the Kung Fu superstar Jackie Chan in people's minds grew up from a little actor who was led by the nose to the present.
Many people will miss the 80s and 90s. The people of that era seemed to be full of passion and energy, but the actor Jackie Chan now recalls that era was full of blackness and oppression. Because the underworld of that era was real. It is said that the entertainment industry is a mixed bag. This makes sense. The underworld in that era saw high profits in the entertainment industry, so they stretched out their hand to the entertainment industry.
Hong Kong's stars are more or less subject to these gangsters. For example, there is a very famous movie that was shot under the threat of gangsters. The movie is famous not because of its wonderful plot and powerful shooting techniques, but because of the actors involved in the performance. They are all big names. Take a closer look at the cast of actors, Andy Lau, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Leung Ka Fai. These were all the stars who were so popular in Hong Kong at that time. They were able to gather so many stars in the same movie at the same time because of the underworld control at that time. For these stars, the stars are forced to participate in the performance of the film. If there are stars who are unwilling to participate in the filming, then what is waiting for him is a cold muzzle.
This is a naked threat, forcing you to act in a movie. Is it that underworld like Hong Kong is lawless? Jackie Chan recalled that there was no report to the police in that situation, because the police also had gangsters, and even if you called the police, no one would care about you, so the gangsters dared to be so unscrupulous. With the changes of the times, the authorities' crackdown on the underworld gradually increased. These people can only make money in a different way, so they slowly gave up the illegal business on hand and relied on the showbiz career to wash themselves. Once the money is laundered, you can withdraw.
Recalling the past, Jackie Chan will feel as if he is still vividly remembered. That era was indeed a dark era, but fortunately it was also an era of blooming flowers, because many classic movies were born in that era. On the other hand, the current era is very good, but the classics of that era cannot be photographed. Do you prefer movies from that era or movies now?
