1996's "Young and Dangerous 3: The Hand Covers the Sky", Zhang Yaoyang's Xiashan Tiger Crow at the beginning of the movie executed the family law on his subordinates, knocked down the Guan Gong Shentai because of a fight with his subordinates, and stepped on it again The scene of breaking Guan Gong's head-this is one of the most shocking passages in Hong Kong-made gangster movies.
believes that many audiences would be surprised when they saw such a passage at the beginning of the movie, because Guan Gong has long been a sacred and inviolable god of war in our Chinese culture. The plot in the
movie is like this, when Crow’s subordinates "wearing the bottom of the frame (corruption of public funds)" were discovered by Crow. When the crow was teaching this subordinate, he kicked him out of the distance and knocked down Guan Gong's sacred platform, and the statue of Guan Gong fell and broke.
At this time, the crow suddenly stepped on the head fragment of Guan Gong's portrait and said: "Guan Lao Er, do you have any use for spring? And the family doesn't talk about righteousness!" Then he smashed the head.
because Guan Gong has always been a symbol of loyalty, and Crow did this to show that he never believed in the loyalty of Jianghu. The visual impact of
's actions not only calmed down the people present, but also shocked the audience in front of the screen. Because even for making movies, there are rarely such bold plots.
It is said that during the filming process, the statue of the god was bought directly from the vendor, and the consecration ceremony has not been performed yet.
But even so, Zhang Yaoyang, who has always worshipped Guan Gong, did not dare to do this scene, thinking that he should not offend the gods. After some persuasion, Liu Weiqiang and Wen Jun present had no choice but to move out of the contract to "threat", and Zhang Yaoyang had to give in in the end.
After filming the scene, Zhang Yaoyang immediately went to the mall to buy sacrifices to worship Guan Gong at the Guan Gong Temple, and spent a lot of money to rebuild the statues, and he ate at least three months of vegetarian food as a sincere confession. The plot of
is placed before the opening credits, and the strong visual impact is the first to win. It only took a few minutes for
to build up the image of the villain, the crow, and his characteristics are quite obvious: violent, vicious, treacherous, unruly, and unethical.
In the following story, the crow killed Hongxing and Dongxing (called Dongying in the comics) two leading leaders Jiang Tiansheng and Camel, and also killed Chen Haonan's girlfriend Su Axi.
is just like the title of the movie. He is aggressive and domineering, covering the sky with one hand. He is the most impressive villain in the "Young and Dangerous" series. The image of
is indeed a restoration of the original comics. In the comics, the tiger crow and the smiling tiger are the first characters to appear in the five tigers of the East. Although the crows in the early stage did not put Jiang Tiansheng, Camel and Sua like in the movie. Xi is killed, but he is also a wicked person who has done all bad things.
But something different from the movie is that the character of the crow in the comics went through a period of transformation afterwards, and later became a good moralist Sanmao. The movie did not unfold the story because of the length of the film.
Zhang Yaoyang's superb acting skills really made this character into three points. It can be seen that a good script needs a good actor to make its full play.
Zhang Yaoyang’s performance also recognized the original author Niu Lao very much and inspired him to create the character Ben Lei Hu Yaoyang in the comics. What's interesting is that in the 1997 sequel "The Invincible Battle of the Young and Dangerous" in 1997, Ben Lei Hu Yaoyang was also played by Zhang Yaoyang himself, which is unique in comic movies.
In addition, on December 29, 2018, the best director Lin Lingdong of the Academy Awards suddenly passed away at home. Zhang Yaoyang also received his support back then, once starring in director Lin's "Dragon and Tiger Storm", "Prison Storm" and "School Storm" respectively.
So, when he heard about Lin Lingdong's death, he cried with excitement and choked so much that he couldn't make a sound. He frankly said: I sincerely hope that this is not true... He once held me popular, and I will remember this for the rest of my life! I often look for opportunities to repay, but I haven't found an opportunity yet (he died).
