As for the on-demand "Light of Friendship", it has become a prison song in Hong Kong prisons. Why can "Light of Friendship" become a prison song in Hong Kong prisons? What kind of charm does it have, and what kind of magic power does "Prison Situation" have?
"Prison Situation" was released in Hong Kong, China on November 13, 1987, and finally won a box office of 31.62 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking second in the year, second only to Jackie Chan's "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother."
At the 7th Hong Kong Film Awards in 1988, Chow Yun-fat broke the record and nominated the winner of the award for his three films, "Dragon and Tiger", "Autumn Fairy Tale" and "Prison Storm". In the end, he won the award for "Dragon and Tiger" and became the first actor to win the award.
In 1986, with "The True Colors of a Hero", Chow Yun-fat got rid of the box office poison hat in one fell swoop, not only became the box office champion, but also won the Golden Image Award winner.

In 1987, with this "Prison Situation", Chow Yun-fat led a wave of prison movies. [ counts the following films such as "God of Gamblers" and "Hardcover Chasing Girls", and Chow Yun-fat is also a trend leader in gambling films and comedy films that chase girls. ]

In addition to the movie "Prison Storm" and Chow Yun-fat, the popularity of "Light of Friendship" is also inseparable from the original mixed artist The fat mother Maria, and a bunch of golden supporting roles who actually sang it in the movie, such as Huang Guangliang.
has four famous villains in the Hong Kong film scene, namely Dasha Cheng Kui An, Da Mi He Jiaju, Chu Shui Ji Lee Shau Kee and Stupid Huang Guangliang.
In "Prison Storm", the three villains, Dasha Cheng Kui An, Da Mi He Jiaju, and Stupid Huang Guangliang, are the most concentrated of the big screen villains. [In 1993's "The Supreme Thirty-Six Strategies: Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun", there were also guest appearances by He Jiaju, Lee Shau Kee and Huang Guangliang. ]
In "Prison Storm", the two villains, He Jiaju and Huang Guangliang, both performed the best. One was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards and the other was nominated for the Best Newcomer.
Dasha was just a cameo and was killed in a gang fight in prison. It was Da Mi and the stupid person who fought Dasha, but the final killer was the prison guard killer male played by Zhang Yaoyang.
Zhang Yaoyang is a newcomer discovered by director Lin Lingdong of "Prison Storm", and he also won a nomination for the Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards.
Dasha has appeared in more than 300 movies in his life, and there are many classic roles, although many are called Dasha. After Zhang Yaoyang, there were masterpieces such as "Young and Dangerous" and "Gunfire". This work is still an important milestone in his career and has since established his image as a screen villain.
He Jiaju and Huang Guangliang have both starred in hundreds of films, standard Hong Kong films, but the only nomination at the Academy Awards was this time in "Prison Storm". Therefore, "Prison Storm" is the most important work of their lives, and established their image of a villain on the screen.
and Wu Zhixiong, who plays the blind snake, is the big B in "Young and Dangerous"; Nan Yan, who plays the big brother Nan, is the fat guy in "Young and Dangerous"; Han Kun, who plays Chaozhou Han, is in "Prison "Dragon" played Andy Lau's father, etc.
is not the biggest Hong Kong movie villain in "Prison Situation", but "Prison Situation" directly takes these actors to the villain's path of no return, and opened up their image of villains on the screen. The person
especially wants to mention is Nanyan, his real name is Lin Lingnan, the brother of director Lin Lingdong. He is the screenwriter of "Prison Storm" and the lyrics of "The Light of Friendship". Although the fat guy he played in "The Invincible Battle of the Young and Dangerous" is very disgusting, he is definitely a great contributor to "Prison Storm" and "Light of Friendship".
Among the four villains, Lee Shau-ki, the only one who did not appear in "Prison Situation", is actually indissoluble with prison movies.
Lee Shau Kee was once one of the backbone members of the famous Hong Kong youngster gang organization "Thirteen Taibao at Tsz Wan Shan", and Lin Lingdong, the director of "Prison Storm", brought him into the film circle and successfully escaped from the underworld.
The biggest difference between him and the four villains is that he has been in jail, and is a person who has really walked around in jail, so he is most familiar with the rules of Hong Kong prisons. [Prison movies come and go are these people, the audience thinks they have actually been in prison. ]
prison has the rules of the prison, which are divided into different prefixes. The newcomer report will definitely ask everyone from everyone to ask, "Are you a sidewalker?". Those who have the words and the ways will be able to find the organization smoothly, and those who don't have the words and ways can only become the "old lining" or the water fish for bullying.
In the past, Wang Jing chose Li Zhaoji and Wu Zhixiong to shoot "Young and Dangerous" mainly because they had mixed up on the roads and shot some scenes of street gang fights, and it went smoothly if they came forward to clear the scene.
Lee Shau Kee used some of his own real experiences to not only star in many young and Dangerous TV showsFilm, also made many prison films. For example, in the 1997 "Black Prison Heartbroken Song: Masonry Pork", he not only starred, but also the producer and screenwriter of the film. In the movie, many cruel methods of torture, such as milk tea with broken hair, are his hands.
Although there are countless various gambling films released one after another, "The God of Gamblers" is still the supreme of Hong Kong gambling films. The classic BGM appearance of the "God of Gamblers" has become the symbol of gambling films. Just like "God of Gamblers", "Prison Storm" is the supreme of Hong Kong prison movies, and this "Light of Friendship" is naturally the standard theme song of prison movies.
2015 New Year's film "Macao Fengyun 3", Chow Yun-fat's first perfect combination of gambling and prison films.
In the movie, Chow Yun-fat, the god of gamblers, changed into the look of "Prison Storm", with a bunch of old faces from Hong Kong movies, including Big B, and the fat mother Maria, playing Huqin and recreating the classic "Light of Friendship" ".
Then, in 2019's "Anti-Corruption Storm 4", Zhang Jicong's old jail fritters broke out the golden sentence "To go to jail is the only way for young people in Hong Kong."
Since then, the Hong Kong police has been able to play "Light of Friendship". This is the prison song of Hong Kong prisons. It is sung to those who love it and to those who need it!
