"The underworld has always been an unrecognized existence, but in fact they have a large group. It seems that everyone has a friend who is the underworld, the underworld is not far away from us, it is right by our side. We have I’ve been a big movie about gangsters, but I want to make a very calm movie that tells gangster stories in a life-like way, instead of fighting and killing them."--- 杜琪峰
The origin of "Underworld 1", also known as " Dragon City Years", is different from the brotherhood and live ammunition of other gangster movies. It shows a real world.
"Underworld" was released in 2005, mainly co-produced by three companies, with Johnnie To as the director. It features Ren Dahua , Leung Ka Fai , Koo Tianle , Zhang Jiahui and Lin Xue . Invest 40 million Hong Kong dollars. What the movie tells about is the struggle between Hong Kong's oldest society (gang) organization "He Liansheng" ( triad , also known as O's) to elect the speakers. Speaking of Heliansheng, they originated in the age when Sun Yat-sen organized the Revolutionary Party to overthrow the Manchu court and grew up during the British colonial rule.
There are two people who have spoken the most about this election. One is Ale from Jordan District (played by Ren Dahua), and the other is the big D of and Tsuen Wan (played by Leung Ka Fai). ). A Le talks about loyalty, brothers must be the first to take the lead when they are in trouble, while the big D is arrogant and domineering, moody,But he is the most powerful and financially strong.
But for those who enter Hongmen, loyalty comes first. It's not that whoever has more power and money can be the subject of the matter, so at this time the uncles have the greatest right to speak. They hold the right to vote, and whoever gets more votes is the one who is in charge. Although standing in line brings risks, it is also an advantage. And A Le and Big D started a fight!
Big D first shot, and he used the money to buy a cross-explosion and Longgen, 200,000 per person. And Ale promised that as long as he became a speaker, he would lead the club to Tsim Sha Tsui and entrust his brothers who support him with a heavy responsibility. Finally, under the leadership of Deng Bo ( Wang Tianlin ), Ale was elected as the speaker with a narrow advantage.
Although he was elected as the speaker, he still needs the handover ceremony of the leader and stick. Without this stick, the name is not correct. talker with a leading stick, this is order!
Order is the guarantee of power operation, so Ale is determined to win.
If you lose the battle for power, you can continue to fight for the boss by getting the leading stick. The person who gets the leading stick is the speaker, so that the big d has the capital to fight.
After a series of battles to get the leading stick, Ale didn't want the gang to split, and treated the big D with both favors and powers. After weighing the situation and interests, the big D agreed to cooperate with Ale. The two formed a new alliance of interests, and Liansheng's business scope expanded rapidly, and business was booming.
You may think that this is the end of the movie.Ale and Big D live in peace, and Liansheng will develop to a higher level.
wrong! People are selfish, and there is no room for two tigers, not to mention this is a gangster.
Old stories are staged for generations.
