In this small place in Hong Kong, many miracles have been born, whether it is financial economy or entertainment politics, as well as black and white lines all over Hong Kong. In the middle of the last century, Hong Kong was not what Hong Kong is now, and police corruption was rampant. After the four detectives headed by Lu Le, the underworld figures came together, the lame man Wu Xihao, Wan Chai Chen Yaoxing, and a generation of casinos all over Macau, Stanley Ho. They all became favorites of Hong Kong film directors, especially McDonald. The movies produced under the banner are the most famous. Now let’s take a look at the screen images of those heroes back then and take a look at the top ten classic hero movies together!
10. The character image of the "Three Thieves" Zhang Ziqiang, Ye Jihuan and Ji Bingxiong, the "Three Big Thieves" in Hong Kong, "The Tree of the Wind" is a police movie produced by Media Asia Film Production Co., Ltd. and Hairun Films Co., Ltd. in 2016. The film is produced by Yinhe Video, produced by Du Qifeng and You Naihai, co-directed by Xu Xuewen, Ou Wenjie and Huang Weijie, starring Lin Jiadong, Ren Xianqi and Chen Xiaochun. Lin Jiadong also won the best actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards for this movie! Zhang Ziqiang is a kidnapper that more people are familiar with. He once came up with a list of Hong Kong's richest people and wanted to kidnap them all from the first one down. He did the same. Kidnapped Li Zeju and demanded as much as 1.038 billion. I went to Li Ka-shing’s house to negotiate. This scene was also shown in many Hong Kong police dramas. The kidnapping of the second richest man, Guo Bingxiang, opened his mouth to 2 billion. Because Guo’s family has been reluctant to take the money to redeem others, Guo Bingxiang was tortured. He still took hundreds of millions of ransoms. Guo Bingxiang passed away a few days ago. It is estimated that the scene that year was something he didn't want to think of again in his life! Ye Jihuan smuggled to Hong Kong at the age of 17. He was arrested for robbery of a gold watch shop and sentenced to 16 years in prison. He escaped on the way to the hospital because of abdominal pain in prison. Two years later, several gold shops were robbed again. For this reason, Hong Kong notified 1 million rewards. In 1993, Ye Jihuan committed another crime. He and his accomplices snatched 3 million gold jewelry, and used AK-47 to fight the police, shaking Hong Kong. He was arrested while smuggling back to Hong Kong in 1996. He was left with a gunshot wound and paralyzed his lower body. Ji Bingxiong, the thief with the highest reward, was issued a red wanted by Interpol. He stabbed someone if he didn't agree with him. Ji Bingxiong started as a pickpocket in Guangzhou Railway Station in the 1970s, and moved to Hong Kong in the 1980s with the tide of fleeing Hong Kong. After being imprisoned for the first time in 1984, I came into contact with members of the "Big Circle Gang", a triad organization, and got acquainted with many provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers (referring to gangsters who went to Hong Kong from the mainland to engage in illegal work, famous for the movie "Province and Hong Kong Flagmen") . After being released from prison, Ji Bingxiong recruited provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers in Guangzhou and contacted the stolen goods trading group. This paragraph is also reflected in "The Tree Is Inviting The Wind". From the 1980s to the 2000s, Ji Bingxiong organized criminal syndicates, smuggled weapons, robbed a number of gold and jewelry shops, and committed many crimes in Canada and the United States. On Christmas Eve in 2003, the Flying Tigers successfully arrested Ji Bingxiong. The funny thing is that in court, he even denied that he was "Ji Bingxiong" and insisted that he was "Guan Derong" holding a foreign passport. Ji Bingxiong at this time has gray hair, dark complexion, and old face, which is very different from the fierce man in the wanted photo.
Zhang Ziqiang is the most famous, and there are two other movies based on him before, namely "Boom Sky Kidnapping the Rich" and "Shocking Thieves", which are also good!
9. The prototype of the tiger
in Wanchai is Chen Yaoxing. Chen Yaoxing started as a Wan Chai car parker. Later, he got the support of some business owners and defeated Wan Chai. His power gradually expanded and he became the famous "Tiger of Wan Chai." In the early 1990s, he was proud of the spring breeze. According to his momentum at the time, his "future" was limitless. But walking on the road with too much momentum is actually not a good thing. In 1992, there were frequent gang-related incidents in the entertainment industry, and Chen Yaoxing was suspected of arson, splashing water, and stealing film copies. Are these things done by Chen Yaoxing? I don’t think so. Take the case of the robbing incident of the copy of the "Happy Family" filmed by Stephen Chow and Leslie Cheung. "Happy Family" is a New Year film produced by Roger Cheng Huang Baiming's "Yonggao Film Company". If Chen Yaoxing were to grab it, he After being shot and killed in Macau, would Luo Jiecheng contribute money and effort to make a "Tiger of Wan Chai" which is obviously to praise Chen Yaoxing! ? Chen Yaoxing likes racing, and Macau has the world-famous Grand Prix racing competition (this event is closely related to Stanley Ho’s brother-in-law Ye Deli, who is also one of the founders of "Macao Entertainment"). At the end of 1993, Chen Yaoxing won The opportunity came to Macau to participate in the racing competition. It is said that he won the second place in the competition.A video of a Grand Prix racing car was shown in the movie and it said that it won first place, but I went to the official website of the Grand Prix to check it several times, but I couldn’t find Chen Yaoxing’s name. I wonder if it’s a special race ( Tourism Division Cup) sake. In short, Chen Yaoxing came to Macau later. He went to the hotel to celebrate after participating in the competition. He was shot and killed at the door when he left the hotel at night. Only 32 years old.
8. Haojiang Fengyun
movie prototype-Yin Guoju paid his own money to shoot this movie. In order to establish his own biography, he didn't want to end up as evidence to prove himself, which is also ridiculous! I invested 18 million for the blueprint and used his hands. With hundreds of horses and hundreds of cars, Ren Dahua Fang CITIC was invited to take a picture of "The Wind and Clouds of the River" which is rampant in Macau. It is not the first time that Yin Guoju has been involved in the entertainment industry. After he fought home, he invited Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau and others to hold a charity concert! As for Yin Guoju and Xiang Jia’s grievances, I won’t talk about it here. Hong Kong There are too many grievances and hatreds in the underworld, and it can't be said in one or two sentences!
7. "Li Luofu" and "Three Wolves"
added the Three Wolf Case because it was Li Luofu who solved the Three Wolf case at that time. Although Li Luofu is not the main character in this movie, it is related to him. Came in. In fact, the Li Luofuqi case was not well filmed, and Li Luofu’s momentum was not photographed. Although Li Luofu was invited as a consultant for the film, he was not as atmospheric as McDonald’s filming of the hero movie. It just continued Huang Baiming’s production in New Art City. The level of entertainment. So this movie is not impressive, but Li Luofu is still very legendary! During 1957, Li Luofu was appointed by the local government to further his studies in the United Kingdom. After returning to Hong Kong, he hoped that he would set up an anti-triad team to eradicate evil forces. After returning to Hong Kong, Li Luofu cracked more than 300 stalls overnight, and his reputation became so loud! The characters of the same era as Chen Zhichao's four major detectives, but there is relatively little information left, and this film does not deeply portray Li Luofu, and can only look at Li Luofu from the side of the three wolves case!
6. "Three Flags of a Generation of Heroes"
prototype-Chen Zhichao! At the beginning of the movie The Twelve Young Masters on Temple Street, a group of elder brothers are discussing who a baby should be given, and the eldest brother of the elder brothers is Chen Zhichao. In 1960, the Hong Kong Police Force established the post of Inspector General, and at the same time established two new departments, one is the International Anti-drug Team, commonly known as the old country; the other is the General Criminal Investigation Division, commonly known as the Six-Three-Three Squad, which means It means that it is not subject to any control or restriction within the scope of its powers to carry out anti-crime operations in Hong Kong, Kowloon, and the New Territories. These two departments are collectively referred to as the "Three Banners", and the members of the three banners are all inspectorate, with all titles above the Inspector General of China. As for the head behind the three banners is Inspector Chen Zhichao. This movie, like Li Luofu, did not have the momentum of a generation of heroes, which is a pity!
5. The dragon and tiger brothers of the four big families
prototype is the Ma brothers, one of the "four big families" of drug trafficking in Hong Kong. The older brother Ma Xiru, the younger brother Ma Xizhen. The two brothers were born as orphans, and they lived on the streets of Hong Kong since they were young. The two brothers started from operating the "Zihua Stall", step by step to the top of the tower, and also founded the "Oriental Daily". The Ma Group mainly relied on drug trafficking to make huge profits, and was as famous as the "lame" at the time. In the 1970s, he moved to Taiwan under the influence of the anti-corruption turmoil and never set foot in Hong Kong since then. Gigi Lai’s husband Ma Tingqiang is the son of Ma Xiru. In Leiluo’s biography, Big Ma also appeared. When Yan Tong asked the four big families to pay for his position, he also asked for the Big Ma. It can be seen that the two of them had their status at that time. They were also running a newspaper while doing a white powder business. Leaving a legitimate industry for one's offspring is also a rare good ending in a manga!
4. The prototype of casino tycoon
-Stanley Ho! Stanley Ho was born in Hong Kong in 1921. But when he was a child, his father and his brothers miscalculated the stock market and made their family ruined. Stanley Ho did not enjoy the prosperity and wealth at first. At the end of 1941, Stanley Ho, who had not graduated from the University of Hong Kong, went to Macau to get married and start a business. Twelve years later, Stanley Ho, whose business was booming, was driven out of Macau by Macau forces and returned to Hong Kong sadly. During his stay in Hong Kong, he actively developed the emerging real estate business and became a multi-millionaire in just a few years. In 1961, at the invitation of Ye Han, Stanley Ho returned to Macau to form a team to compete for Macau gambling with Fok Yingdong, Ye Deli and others.In October 2008, the consortium won the bid and became the new owner of Macau's gambling industry. After that, he and Ye Han fought openly and secretly for power. In 1971, Ye Han lost the general momentum and retired from the management. The power of the gambling company was controlled by He Hongshen. Stanley Ho is a man in Hong Kong and Macau. The only thing people talk about now is that his casino is the story of four wives competing for property. When Stanley Ho was young, he was tall and handsome, and it could be said that there was no woman he wanted to pursue. According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, he married four wives. Stanley Ho, who is more than 90 years old, has witnessed the rise and fall of Hong Kong and Macau for nearly a hundred years. In such a life, what a husband needs to recover!
3. The emperor of Shanghai
is actually divided into two parts, "The Emperor of Shanghai" and "The Emperor of Shanghai" are based on Du Yuesheng! Du Yuesheng was born in Chuansha, Jiangsu in 1888. At the age of fourteen, he went to the Shanghai fruit shop as an apprentice. The fruit-cutting knife method is said to be outstanding. Then he worshipped Chen Shichang of the green gang as an old man. Because of this relationship, he soon entered the mansion of the black boss Huang Jinrong in Shanghai. . Du Yueshen's shrewdness of work is highly valued, and his status is rising. At this stage, he has begun to take charge of the casino business in the gang. Du Yuesheng was agile, had a deep relationship with the warlords and the French Concession, and was able to accurately grasp the timing. The opium sales business became bigger and bigger. By 1925, the "Sanxin Company" was established and monopolized the opium business in the French Concession. At this time, he, Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin were collectively known as "Shanghai's Three Great Heroes." The reputation is so great that the power is enough to shake the entire Shanghai beach. Mai Jiaban has always been good at controlling the rhythm of the story. "The Emperor of Shanghai" has a good grasp of the rhythm. The whole story is full of climax, full of realism, without losing entertainment, and it is really enjoyable to watch. It feels a bit like the godfather of the Chinese version. The whole drama takes a few hours and the plot is not procrastinated, and Du Yuesheng played by Lu Liangwei is more domineering than the deity. This is also because of the personal image of the actor. If you are interested, you can look it up. , The classics produced by McDonald's are worth seeing!
2 "Five Million Inspector Lei Luo Biography" and "Four Inspectors"
prototype-Hong Kong's Chinese detectives in the 1950s and 1960s, Lu Le, Yan Xiong, Lan Gang, Han Sen, this is also the current Hong Kong movie star movie keen to shoot Several of the characters came out in troubled times, and these four detectives were the heroes of that era. Lu Le's promise to start filming "Lei Luo" for the Xiang brothers' "Yong Sheng" is inseparable from their relationship. Lu Le's uncle is Xiang Huayan. Xiang Huayan is the elder brother of Xiang Huasheng and Xiang Huaqiang. He was deported from Hong Kong for political reasons and returned to Taiwan in 1953. The leading position of "Xin Yi'an" was given to his son Xiang Huayan. Lu Le joined the Hong Kong Police Force in the 1940s. He started from dressing as a police officer and became the Chief Chinese Inspector of Hong Kong Island in the 1960s. In the 1960s, he commanded the CID in Hong Kong and was the first of the four major detectives. Lu Le, who was in full swing in 1968, retreated behind the scenes when he was unexpectedly washing his hands in a golden basin. By the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption in 1973, Lu Le, who heard the news, left Hong Kong and left for Canada. According to the investigation by the ICAC at that time, Lu Le was worth more than 500 million. And because Canada and Hong Kong belong to the same federal jurisdiction, Hong Kong detective officials who fled to Canada are in danger of extraditing back to Hong Kong at any time, so Lu Le left Canada and went to live in Taiwan.
There was news of Lu Le’s death in Hong Kong around 2003, but it was verified as a rumor. In 1976, the Independent Commission Against Corruption issued a wanted order against Lu Le, which is still valid. Lu Le's fortune is amazing. In the 1970s, hundreds of thousands could buy a mansion. A reporter asked him if his 500 million net worth was true, but he shook his head and denied it. Although the money of these underworld heroes is not as clear and easy to calculate as Li Ka-shing and the others, the Independent Commission Against Corruption will not be too exaggerated. Lu Le's property in Hong Kong was frozen by the Independent Commission Against Corruption in 1976, but by the mid-1980s, the freeze has gradually begun, and the wealth of a generation of inspectors is still amazing. Yan Xiong, who was known as one of the "Four Detective Inspectors," also fled Hong Kong in the storm of integrity, but instead of choosing to settle in Taiwan with a group of old agents, he went to Thailand. The contradiction between Yan Xiong and Lu Le is not as life and death as Andy Lau and Qin Pei in "Lei Luo Biography". After leaving Hong Kong, if there is a chance to go to Taiwan, Yan Xiong will also go to Lu Lexu to chat. But obviously Lu Le "looks down" on Yan Xiong. In addition to the previously mentioned Yan Xiong mingling with him, there are also cases where Lu Le gave up being the inspector of the Yau Ma Tei Police Station and Yan Xiong had the opportunity to sit in the position of inspector. It's no wonder why the story of Lei Luo and Yan Tongming fighting secretly in the "Lei Luo Biography", Lu Le couldn't help being angry. Yan Xiong’s power is in the three-regardless area of the Kowloon Walled City (now demolished, the appearance and situation of the Kowloon Walled City can be found in "People from the Walled City", "O's Triad Archives", "Provincial and Hong Kong Flagmen"), And there was only Yan Xiong in Hong KongTan Neng flatly settled the interests of all parties in the Kowloon Walled City. In addition, Lu Le also believed that Yan Xiong had some face in the Chaozhou Gang. Despite being looked down upon by Lu Le, Yan Xiong, as a major detective, also did not escape the ICAC’s arrest. In January 1977, the ICAC officially issued a Stop List, and as long as Yan Xiong entered the country, he would assist the ICAC in its investigation.
In Lu Le's eyes, only Lan Gang is the only one who can really equal him. Lan Gang was the Chief Chinese Inspector of Kowloon at the time. He and Lu Le used to coordinate with each other during the anti-corruption operation of the Hong Kong Police Station, so both of them had served as the Chief Chinese Inspector of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. ——This is naturally one of the reasons why Lu Le can value Lan Gang. Lan Gong is unreasonable and loves to be funny, which is very different from the serious and serious Lan Gang played by Xiang Huaqiang in the movie. Lan Gang joined the police 4 years later than Lu Le (Lan Gang and Lu Le are classmates in "The Three Banners of the Heroes"), but he dared to be promoted quickly, and was on par with Lu Leping in the 1960s. Like Lu Le, Lan Gang quit the police station after washing his hands in the late 1960s. A few years later, he also fled Hong Kong because of the establishment of the ICAC. In 1977, the ICAC issued a Stop List to Lam Gang. In 1989, he died of a heart attack in Thailand. The retirement of Lu Le and Lan Gang left the position of Inspector Zonghua temporarily vacant. As a result, the Hong Kong Police Department promoted Inspector Han Sen to the position of Inspector Zonghua (Inspector General of the New Territories) in 1971. However, within two months, Han Sen resigned and left the police force. After the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, an investigation found that Han Sen had a total salary of only 190,000 yuan in the 31 years of the police force, but his assets were 20 times his salary. Therefore, an arrest warrant was issued in 1976. Of course Han Sen has also left Hong Kong.
Han Sen joined the police force in 40 years and was promoted to inspector in 26 years. He died in Taiwan in 1999. According to the ICAC's re-estimation in 1997, Han Sen's assets exceeded 70 million yuan. After his death, his assets were fully confiscated in a civil lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice in 2001.
1. Lame Hao
prototype-Wu Xihao! "The Lame" is a movie with strong colors of McDonald. Although it lasts two and a half hours, it is magnificent and has no deception in one go. It can be called a model of Hong Kong biographical film. It's not that Lao Hao's reputation is higher than that of the four major detectives. It's just that this movie is really excellent and ranks first. It is estimated that everyone who likes Hong Kong gangster movies has seen this movie! Wu Xihao arrived in Hong Kong with a wave of refugees in the early 1960s. He started his business as a "zihuadang" (gambling), and later changed to a "fandang" (drug). As a result, he became popular in the 1970s. One of the big family. It has even achieved international sales outside of Hong Kong, and is well-known in the drug circles in Thailand and Taiwan. In 1973, the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption began to vigorously crack down on crime. At the end of 1974, Wu Xihao was arrested after returning to Hong Kong from Taiwan, and the entire group was sentenced to 124 years in prison. In 1991, due to the terminal stage of liver cancer, he was pardoned by the Hong Kong Governor and released from prison. 25 days after being released from prison, he passed away due to worsening condition.
