Who do you think is the "most stylish" boss in Hong Kong gangster movies?

Tony Leung Ka Fai plays Zhou Chaoxian in Island of Greed, also known as Sicily of Love.

Black stands for underworld, gold and Taurus, aiming at satirizing the notorious political reality of black-and-white collusion in Taiwan Province Province in the 1990s, and alluding to Luo, the leader of evil forces, and Zhou Ginseng, the king of video games. In addition, the Minister of Justice Feng alluded to Nine, and Andy Lau's agent alluded to Hou Kuanren, the prosecutor of the Special Investigation Group of the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

In this film, Tony Leung Ka Fai, the best actor, plays Zhou Chaoxian, who was originally the leader of the Pine Forest Gang, hoping to "bleach" and quit the party to participate in the Legislative Council election as a non-party member and be elected. After being exposed, he was brought to justice. This is a very three-dimensional, profound and connotative character, sometimes ruthless, sometimes tender, handsome on the surface, cunning and cruel inside. It is said that in order to better interpret the role, Tony Leung Ka Fai went to Taiwan Province Province two months before the shooting to observe and experience the life of the gang leader and collect information. He also wrote a biography of Zhou people with 65438+ ten thousand words. Therefore, when he mastered this screen image, he was relaxed and natural, and there was a trace of cunning and skill in his gestures, which left a very deep impression on the audience.

The saddest-Ni Xiaoyong

Wu Zhenyu plays Ni Xiaoyong in Infernal Affairs 2.

Pay tribute to the American film Godfather 2 in terms of content, plot and narrative techniques. Ni, played by, is the half-brother of an undercover agent. Gao Fei, who studied accounting at a famous overseas university, returned to Hong Kong to take care of the funeral after his father and assassination. Although the precise layout and cautious response easily removed almost all the key enemies related to the assassination, settled all the gangs that were eager to move, removed the old undercover around them, exposed the immature plan of Sir Huang fishing law enforcement, and almost bleached the misdeeds of the whole family and various relationships, but he died in the arms of his undercover brother at the last minute.

This is a very sad character, in part, much like Michael Corleone in The Godfather, but compared with him, there is much more tenderness that can't be let go.

Wu Zhenyu's description and interpretation of this character is in place. Between his movements, demeanor, tone and gestures, he shows the basic characteristics of a mature, steady, smart, calm and sophisticated adult man. He has a superior background, experienced hardships, enjoyed prosperity, received higher education and has a strong sense of responsibility. The kindness to my younger brother and the warmth to my family are also evident everywhere, which makes people applaud.

The most chivalrous symbol.

Chow Yun Fat plays Mark in Better Tomorrow.

The film was directed by John Woo, produced by Tsui Hark and co-starred by Tommy Tam, Chow Yun Fat and Leslie Cheung. 1986 was released and won the Best Film, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Photography and Best Recording in the 6th Hong Kong Film Awards. It caused a sensation at the premiere and won wide acclaim from overseas film and media circles. It is considered to be comparable to Hollywood movies of the same period.

In these early Hong Kong films, the big brother had to fight and kill by himself, and Chow Yun Fat successfully interpreted the image of a killer who made a comeback. No matter whether the connotation expression of the characters is profound enough, gestures are enough to fascinate thousands of teenagers.

The most aura-Wang Bao

Sammo Hung plays Wang Bao in Kill the Wolf.

Because of Sammo Hung's aura, the boss has a lot of power.

The most grassroots-Chen Han

Ceng Zhiwei plays Chen Han in Infernal Affairs.

At first, it seems that Ceng Zhiwei played Chen Han, which was quite joyful, but the more you taste it, the more you can find that this role belongs to him, because he is a very grassroots nobody and because of his impermanence, he replaced Ni. Therefore, he lost respect and trust for his eldest brother, and his beloved wife, who shared weal and woe with him, became eccentric, cunning, suspicious and ruthless. Going back to the night to see the photos of my beloved wife, walking out of the hall with tears to welcome guests and eat lunch, these scenes are simply the finishing touch.

The most honest and frank person-Chen Haonan

Ekin Cheng plays Chen Haonan in Young and Dangerous.

"Young and Dangerous" is different from similar works to a great extent, focusing on "brothers" and "loyalty" and telling the restless youth of a generation with nowhere to put it.

Among them, Nan, Pheasant, Jiang Tianyang and Yam Tat-wah are all classic works.

Gangster movies in Hong Kong have created many gangs. However, in my mind, the most handsome one is Ceng Zhiwei, the ugly boss of Korea.

Ceng Zhiwei doesn't have the iconic big head of Fage, and even because of his height, he lacks the domineering and aura of the gang boss in many people's eyes. However, in Infernal Affairs, Ceng Zhiwei is a good example of a gangster.

Ceng Zhiwei has the ferocity, composure and strategy of a gangster. In Infernal Affairs, when he found that going to Thailand was a trap, he tried to win in danger, decisively killed the Thai gangsters and ran away.

In order to get rid of Ni, he joined hands with the black and white and yellow police departments to show his ruthlessness. Finally, after an irreconcilable conflict with Sergeant Huang, his men resolutely carried out the orders of Boss Han, killed Sergeant Huang and threw him from the top floor.

It's hard to imagine that boss Han and director Huang are still having dinner together to catch up. When the crisis came, they turned against each other and went all the way to darkness. This is the courage of the mob boss.

However, there are still many tender moments in Ceng Zhiwei's plays, which distinguishes him from the traditional gangster who kills people without blinking an eye.

He loves Mary. From every phone call he made to Mary and every look he gave her, we can see that his love for Mary is absolutely heartfelt. Even when Mary died, Han Lao was completely desperate and blackened.

He values friendship. He was absolutely loyal to Brother Kun, even to Ni at first. He said that his life was given by Brother Kun, and he wanted to follow Brother Kun.

His friendship with superintendent Huang across the black and white line is also amazing, but it's a pity that they broke up in the end.

Through Ceng Zhiwei's superb acting skills, the image of a gangster was vividly displayed under his thin body. Infernal affairs has made Han Laoda's complexity and model.

There are two kinds of images created by Hong Kong gangster movies, one is Brother Fan, and the other is cruel enough, but the traces are too heavy, both of which are dedicated to expressing feelings. Brother Fan, holding his head high, holding his hand high, smoking a cigar, his voice changed from small to big, from soft to horizontal, with a fake smile, dismissive of everything and unable to see the truth inside. Fan, who is cruel enough, is facing the fangs stronger than him and looks like a German shepherd. From before to later, he has always been eating, drinking and having fun. Who looks like? No one looks like that, which makes people think that black society should be like that. Think of Stuart Maiden, Du Yuesheng, the godfather of the American mafia. If this is the case, can we still get along?

Among the many gangster movies produced in Hong Kong, I personally like one best, and that is Lv Liangwei (Shanghai Emperor). In this film, Lv Liangwei can be said to have restored the true side of green gang (Du) in Shanghai at that time, which is very vivid.

(Emperor of Shanghai) This film tells a story about going to Shanghai during the Republic of China. The emperors mentioned in it, namely, green gang's eldest brothers Huang, Du, and three of them, played by, are based on Du. The whole movie runs through it from beginning to end. How did Du change from a handyman boy to a gangster, and finally why did he become a gangster?

The black one.

Speaking of the big names in Hong Kong movies, everyone has their favorite roles. However, there is such a person, not only a big shot in the movie, but also a big shot outside the movie. This is Mr Wai-Man Chan.

starting point

Wai-Man Chan's family is actually very simple, with parents and a sister. However, his father is a sailor and has been away for a long time. He was brought up by his mother. Because Wai-Man Chan liked martial arts since he was a child, 16 years old went out to work after graduating from junior high school. Because at that time, the police had no education and were stable, so Wai-Man Chan took the exam. Because his age was not up to standard, he turned to be a prison guard, and this job also let him know.

change

Wai-Man Chan summed up the relationship between them with the word 10: "A gangster is a policeman, and a policeman is a gangster". For political reasons, Wai-Man Chan is one of the police investigators, regardless of whether they have gang background or not. At this point, Wai-Man Chan officially ended his police career, and with the friendship with many gangs, he also officially appeared in the gangs.

pinnacle

At the age of 25, Wai-Man Chan was already the famous boss of 14K. Worst of all, the whole of Tsim Sha Tsui is his property, and Kimberly Street was directly changed to "Wai-Man Chan Street". Because of his martial arts skills and police status as a child, Wai-Man Chan is very good at fighting and law. In the gang, he gets along well, which is more realistic than the movie Young and Dangerous.

I want to nominate Ni Xiaoyong, played by Wu Zhenyu in Infernal Affairs 2.

Infernal Affairs series may be recognized as the pinnacle of Hong Kong films. It tells the story that Liu Jianming, a member of the Hong Kong underworld played by Andy Lau, obeyed the command of Chen Han, the eldest brother played by Ceng Zhiwei, and joined the Hong Kong Police Force in the early 1990s. On the other hand, Chen Yongren, an outstanding student in the police academy, was asked by his superiors to go deep into the underworld to be undercover. From then on, two people with different but similar fates began to undergo a severe test in this undercover trip.

The word "Infernal Affairs", taken from the endless hell, is the most bitter of the eight layers of hell, and will be tortured endlessly in the endless hell, symbolizing the fate of Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren.

The timeline of Infernal Affairs 2 is before Infernal Affairs, that is, before Liu Jianming was promoted and Chen Yongren became Chen Han's right-hand man. At that time, the gang boss in Hong Kong was killed, and the Ni family had five leaders. Everyone wants to make trouble or betray the Ni family. At that time, rivers and lakes were everywhere

Ni, played by, is the second generation descendant of the Ni family. He is different from some gangsters with deep pockets in Hong Kong movies. He looks gentle and speaks clearly. He looks like a "highly educated man".

In the face of four unruly leaders, he did not use force, but used tactics to contain it. Three years later, Gianni's career is thriving. Without hesitation, he decided to wipe out all five leaders in one fell swoop. However, Chen Han, who had no intention of resisting at first, was caught in the net.

Later, those who survived returned to the Jianghu and had a final confrontation with the failed Ni.

Knowing that he was doomed to failure, Xiao Yong remained calm and restrained.

Note that Wu Zhenyu's eyebrows are full of drama.

Finally, Tony Xiao Yong was shot in the head. Before he died, he found out that his younger brother Chen Yongren was actually a policeman undercover. That kind of helplessness and sadness is touching.

He could have unified the underworld in Hong Kong, but he finally died out.

Perhaps Infernal Affairs 2 is not the best one in Infernal Affairs Trilogy, but it must be the most elegant one, which is infinitely close to the gangster film The Godfather, in which Wu Zhenyu played an important role, even surpassing Huang Qiusheng and Ceng Zhiwei. Looking at the comments of Douban Infernal Affairs 2, everyone is also discussing: Wu Zhenyu, absolutely amazing.

Ni's experience also corresponds to the core of Infernal Affairs series: fate is impermanent, and everyone suffers in Infernal Affairs in a way that has been discovered or has not yet been discovered.

I still remember the line in Infernal Affairs: When you come out to mix, you always have to pay it back.

Maybe I'm too old. At the age of 54, I will recognize three people, first, Chow Yun Fat, second, Ceng Jiang, and third, Nicholas Tse.

Needless to say, Uncle Zhou is a gangster who is playing a Hong Kong drama. He is definitely the first hero of Shanghai Beach, the first person in Xu Wenqiang. Until now, he has seen "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Blue Bronze Quetai", which is still Lao Zhou's domineering, and can make Jiang Wen, Gong Li, Carina Lau and other young people feel ashamed; As for the old actor Ceng Jiang, many people may not remember his name, but Ceng Jiang is also one of the most striking roles of many black bosses. Many times mainland directors will choose him. Although no one remembers his name, he is also loved by many people. Lao Zeng's temperament is innate. Ceng Jiang can be seen in many Hong Kong gangster movies. Although he is not the first leading role, Ceng Jiang's supporting role is equally wonderful. It even stole a play. It seems that the domestic version of chase has been appearing recently. Ceng Jiang's True Color of Heroes, Hot Blood Heroes and Crossing the World are all very dramatic, which have shaped a series of classic supporting roles in John Woo's films.

Finally, when it comes to Xiao Xie, Xiao Xie is a bad boy in both movies and life. It seems that he did not succeed. However, the only internal thing that can replace Chow Yun Fat and Ceng Jiang is the bad boy. Xiao Xie's eyes are mean and his temper is strange. He is moody, arbitrary and reckless. He has all the qualities of a gangster. I am very optimistic about the future of the underworld boss. The first hero is Nicholas Tse!

In fact, when it comes to the "most stylish" boss in gangster movies, Chen Haonan, the "porter" in Causeway Bay, will be the first person that appears in almost everyone's mind.

Ekin Cheng, with long flowing hair and naked tattoos, appeared in the bustling streets of Hong Kong with a group of younger brothers, pheasants, older boys and others, holding posters to kill people, and swept through major video halls, barber shops, billiards halls and game halls in the 1980s. No boy dreams of becoming Chen Haonan, and no girl dreams of marrying Chen Haonan.

Today I want to talk about another "boss" in gangster movies, Ni Xiaoyong in Infernal Affairs 2. Wu Zhenyu created the role of "Ni Xiaoyong" by acting like a textbook. Because of the delicate portrayal of this complex character, the core of Infernal Affairs 2, which had a dry plot, was quickly plump. Although Wu Zhenyu lost by a narrow margin to Andy Lau at the Oscar ceremony that year, this role is still called a performance that can go down in history in the history of China movies by people in the industry. It is no exaggeration to use the words perfect and complete to describe it.

Ni Xiaoyong's role is very different. On the surface, he is a suit and tie, gentle and elegant, but as a gangster villain in the movie, he took over the club because of his father's death, but he is ruthless in essence. He did everything to get rid of dissidents, but all this was just to protect the country his father laid down and everyone in his family.

He can get rid of four assistants who are rebellious and disturbing the society calmly, divert the attention of the police with tricks, and restore Jani's prestige in the Jianghu. He carefully planned everything step by step, calm and calm, and in the words of now, he is very "stylish" and "exemplary".

But in the end, when Chen Han threatened him with his family, he finally abandoned his composure and pulled the trigger, because his family was the last bottom line in his heart. He vowed to protect everyone in his family from danger, and he would rather bear all the bad things and let himself sink. At the end, when Ni Yongxiao fell in a pool of blood and turned to the bug wearing his half-brother Chen Yongren's clothes, his eyes were not surprised. A clever man like him should have guessed Chen Yongren's identity, but he didn't want to believe it or admit it. Everything he does is for his family, and he won't let this family suffer any harm.

The gangster who stutters softly is certainly exemplary, but Ni, who is responsible for her family, is equally fascinating. Thanks to Wu Zhenyu's wonderful performance.
