If there was a native Hong Kong movie, then Johnnie To is the last light made in Hong Kong, faint but unwavering. Small-scale circulation eventually grows late.
Du Qifeng's film business and artistry are perfectly combined. While making commercial films, he takes into account his personal style of art films---------"Gunfire", "PTU", "Dark Flower", "Wen Bird" and so on.
And in Johnnie To's movies, the editor's favorite is "Wenque".
Wenque has two meanings to the people of Hong Kong. The first category is similar to the sorcerer's statement. In the past, fortune tellers used to use the text to pick the lottery. The lottery drawn by the feet is luck. The second meaning is much simpler. Two words: thief. Johnnie To’s movie "Wen Sparrow" tells the story of a thief.
The site in the middle ring belongs to four thieves, including Ren Dahua and Lin Jiadong—at least they think so. For the four talented thieves, Hong Kong’s streets are not only a workplace, but also a stage of life. Their stealing process is ingeniously designed, their movements are like dancing, and their smiles seem to be sunny. Every day when work starts and ends, the four people will ride bicycles juggling and go to the same tea restaurant to eat, living a comfortable and romantic life.
One day, a mysterious woman appeared (like most stories) and she ran around on the street, so their lives were different (still like most stories). On the bright side, they first competed with this woman for stealing skills, and then each felt that they had found love. The bad result was that they were all beaten up for this, and the streets were full of their pictures, and then they found that they were in love with the same woman. When
took revenge, they discovered another secret. This was a woman controlled by a gangster, like a caged bird. The boss of the underworld is Wen Quexing's senior expert, and the condition for a woman to get out of trouble is to steal the passport that was put in the safe by the boss. Can you save a woman who deceived them? Use harmful stealing skills to save people? This is a difficult choice. The result of
is the same as most endings, there is no choice.
Black Boss gave them a fair chance, so on a rainy street, a big showdown of stealing skills began...
There has never been a thief in a movie with such a romantic feeling like this one, Du Qifeng and His fans are playing creativity games. The thieves are stylish, affectionate and righteous, while Du Qifeng allows the stealing to be done in the bright sunshine. The thief’s work is very dedicated, he has a very high professional quality, he has team spirit, he is punctual, and his work attitude is correct and humorous.
It is said that in order to achieve this effect, Du Qifeng deliberately found a senior Wenque master who washes his hands with a golden basin to come out of the mountains-also serves as a consultant, teaches actors and does not teach secrets. What's interesting about
is that Wenque's level is mainly reflected in the number of razor blades in the mouth, and the master can contain more than 10 tablets at the same time, and this senior is at this level. Ren Dahua said that he can hold 5 razor blades at the same time, but Du Qifeng said that he does not have that level. In short, the movie's description of the thief is both technical and emotional.
This is basically an ancient dragon-style martial arts movie. The man fights for the woman who has deceived him. The master plays tricks in the rainy night, and sets the top one by one, especially the stealing skills duel at the end of the film. The winner admits that he has failed because of the professional principles of skills, so he turns around and wins and loses with ease. Some people say that the story is too simple, and the editor disagrees after hearing it. This story tells a simple and happy attitude from beginning to end. Is life really as complicated and profound as we think? Even so, I also yearn for that simple romance . The music in the
film is made by the French, but the style is Oriental, and the film is like an extended version of the MV. Sometimes you can enjoy it with your eyes closed. In a nutshell, this is Johnny To’s completely personally stylized movie, so he made it for 3 years, the longest one was one month, and the shortest one was only one day. Fortunately, the actors looked the same for several years.
Du Qifeng's shortest time was "Gun Fire", which took only seven days to complete, and these seven days also achieved the romance between Du's style of male friendship. The dark field in "Gun Fire" is just like the blank space in Chinese painting, which is infinitely mindful. After
went north, Johnnie To shot a realistic and cruel "Drug War". The uncompromising old Du also adhered to his own style in the Mainland. I hope Johnny can maintain his personal style.
