What is the name of the movie starring Tony Leung Ka Fai and Qiu Shuzhen together?
The thriller "The New Skin Lantern". Rather than saying this is a ghost movie, it is better to say it is a love drama about destiny and life and death. It seems to be a favorite theme in the 1990s. Ah Hui and Xiao Rong, one is a young lawyer who is controlled by the underworld boss and forced to do things, and the other is the prostitute maid of the underworld boss' sidekick actor. They are two little people who don't even have freedom. They fell in love with each other, even if they secretly fell in love with each other, they also wanted to report and bring down the underworld boss Su Xiong. As a result, he was discovered before he could take action. Ah Hui was hacked to death by Su Xiong's men on the spot, and Xiao Rong committed suicide. Originally, the story ended here, but Su Xiong is a descendant of Maoshan, good at Feng Shui but also evil-minded. He hated Ah Hui, so he buried Ah Hui's ashes in a place of misfortune. After reincarnation, he was unlucky for ten consecutive lives, and the person who committed suicide was Xiao Rong peeled off her skin and made a human skin lantern. Then she lit the ever-burning lamp. The ever-burning lamp would not go out and Xiao Rong would never be reincarnated. Even if he dies, Su Xiong wants the two of them never to have the chance to be together!
The film is adapted from the Shaw Brothers film "Human Skin Lantern". The wild imagination and rewriting inject fresh blood into the film. The film spans two time and space, interweaving reality and illusion, and presents a heart-stirring and unparalleled story. Tony Leung Ka Fai travels back and forth between the past and present, one is decent and chic, the other is slutty, while Qiu Shuzhen is innocent, beautiful, and touching. The two passionately performed an inseparable love that moved heaven and earth, and was difficult to let go of life and death. As an iconic figure who later led the trend of Hong Kong Young and Dangerous films and promoted the wave of Hong Kong movies many times, director Liu Weiqiang showed off his skills in this early work of his. Young and Dangerous boys rush into the streets to fight with knives, throw their lives and blood for love and justice, and the fierce confrontation between good and evil at the police station makes people vaguely capture the roots of the legend of the Young and Dangerous movie. Coupled with elements such as frequent jokes, digging cesspits to dig up corpses, a female ghost possessing a human body, and Hui Ge's flirtation, the interweaving of romance and vulgarity, violence and banter made this film a strange flower in Hong Kong movies in the 1990s.
