"This river and lake is no longer suitable for us, we are too old-fashioned."
revisits the classics, as if the old-fashioned era is back.
In the summer of 1989, the film "Blood Two Heroes" premiered in Hong Kong, and it has been 31 years. It is the youth of a generation and the feelings of a generation. At that time, the film
was popular in Chinese and conquered Western movie fans. I have to say that it is a very careful movie. The movie
allowed Wu Yusen to embark on the road to Hollywood and to the pinnacle of violent aesthetics. At the same time, it also allowed him to part ways with his best partner Tsui Hark. What have they experienced after the lens of
?
Today, we will revisit the story behind this violent aesthetic classic.
Without Chow Yun Fat , there would be no "Blood Duo"
Zhou Xingchi said: "I am a strong faction and an idol faction, Chow Yunfa is two strong factions and an idol faction."
z6 is not only handsome, but also handsome. Perfect, he was the dream of many people. However, his handsomeness is just the icing on the cake in front of his strength.
Before "The True Colors of Heroes" went viral, Chow Yun-fat was just a third-line actor with acting online.
But after "The True Colors of a Hero", Chow Yun-fat became so popular with Xiao Ma, film dealers almost all over the world are looking for him to make appointments, and he has two or three movies to be filmed every day.
At this time, director Wu Yusen was conceiving a script for "Blood Two Heroes" and wanted to tell the story of two police officers. However, this idea was rejected by the company's senior management before it was implemented.
not only that, they also throw up a problem: a police movie like this must be joined by Chow Yunfa to invest.
However, Chow Yun-fat's schedule was already full at this time, which made Wu Yusen feel melancholy and wanted to give up.
When Chow Yun-fat learned of Wu Yusen’s predicament, he took the initiative to call Wu Yusen to take the scene.
This made Wu Yusen sleepless all night with excitement, and the excitement was more moving. With the addition of Li Xiuxian and Tsui Hark’s investment in
, this movie has a real chance to start shooting.
When filming started, there was no complete script for this play.
However, Wu Yusen said that this is the perfect play he and Chow Yun-fat have played together. The reason for
is that he improvised many of the moments when Chow Yun-fat’s acting skills burst in the play.
In the scene where the fourth brother betrayed Xiaozhuang, Wu Yusen set up for Xiaozhuang to shoot and kill the fourth brother.
However, during the filming process, Chow Yun-fat did not follow the script. Instead, he put down his gun and shed tears. The betrayed loneliness and loss accompanied by a turn flowed into the hearts of every audience, which was emotional.
In this way, there was a bright moment when the fourth brother was beaten to death in order to fulfill his promise.
is also dead, brother ends his life in this way, filling the character with soul. Z7z
Later, Z7z Zhou Yunfa said in an interview: “In life, when he is betrayed by a friend, he will choose to forgive.” Z7z
Because of this, many of Fa's shots are more simple and moving.
No wonder Wu Yusen said: "Without Chow Yun-fat, there would be no "Blooding Duo"." The editor of
went on strike, and Wu Yusen edited
by himself. If Chow Yunfa is the soul of the show, Then Wu Yusen is the eye of this play.
In this drama, Wu Yusen can be said to be doing his best. He incorporates the audience's perspective and makes the audience's gathering point and his own creation reach a balance.
In "Blood Two Heroes", Wu Yusen's favorite scene is the dragon boat chase scene. He wants to use this scene to express the competition between the police and the killer.
In order to make this scene well, the crew took 5 months to shoot, and a large number of shots made the editor not know how to start and went on strike.
had no choice but to edit it himself. It took 3 weeks to edit.
In addition to this scene, the shootout in and outside the church is also the most exciting of this film. In just a few minutes, the crew took 28 days to shoot.
In the shooting of the shootout in the church, Fa Ge’s face was accidentally scratched and almost wiped his eyes, but he still insisted on bandaging after the shooting.
Therefore, is not born to act, and some just respect and awe in the industry.
After filming the shootout in the church, Chow Yun-fat proposed: The ending let Xiao Zhuang and Jenny walk out of the church together. In the rain of bullets, the two clasped their fingers together and graciously died.
used tragedy to exaggerate morality and justice and return justice.
Wu Yusen said: "What tragedy is this, it should be Xiaozhuang and Jenny, crawling towards each other, then passing by, missing each other, and the two people are completely abandoned by fate. This is the real tragedy." The passage of
, Jenny, who was blind, and Xiao Zhuang, whose eyes were injured, crawled toward each other, as if crawling toward two sad worlds.
"Snake and strike seven inches", Wu Yusen, who looks simple and honest in appearance, poked the audience's tears with no mercy.
Actually, Wu Yusen’s initial ending was that after Xiaozhuang’s death, Jenny went to the airport alone and went to the United States to treat her eyes. When she stood at the airport in a daze, Li Ying showed up and took her to the United States to take care of her. she was.
But because Ye Qianwen did not have a schedule to shoot this episode, the crew ended up with Xiaozhuang's death, and in the end, let Li Ying shoot Xiaozhuang to commemorate this flesh and blood brotherhood.
Many years later, revisiting this scene, similar emotions, like a reunion between reality and the past, it is nostalgia and anticipation.
Wu Yusen and Tsui Hark’s ideas are at odds, and they part ways
Some people say: "Tsu Hark is a fairy, Wu Yusen is a chivalrous man. Immortal, transcendent. Chivalrous man, hold on. Same person, seek truth from each of Xu Hark's abilities." , Each has its own pride.
When filming "The True Colors of a Hero", the two went together, but when filming "Blood Two Heroes", the two went their separate ways. The reason for
is that the two people have a disagreement on the cognition of the action scene, and the concept of the gunfight movie is incompatible.
Wu Yusen is independent and has his own ideas.
And Tsui Hark likes to impose his creative intentions on Wu Yusen. Therefore, the two often quarrel over a small detail.
not only that, they also have their own preferences in editing.
Tsui Hark’s action scenes are fast-edited and fast-paced, giving people a strong visual impact.
And Wu Yusen likes to use slow motion to express the exquisiteness of the gunfight, and then promote the momentum of the film through the soundtrack, so that the film has a majestic feeling.
In this way, the two people who once matched each other are a bit close together.
When the trouble was the most serious, Tsui Hark was reluctant to invest. FortunatelyFortunately, Chow Yun-fat asked someone to invest in it, so that this classic was not cut off.
Some people say that Tsui Hark is not authentic.
Because Wu Yusen admired Tsui Hark, he recommended him to the "New Art City", which gave him the opportunity to become a first-line director with the help of "Ghost Horse Zhi Duo Xing".
Some people also say that Wu Yusen is ungrateful.
Because when Wu Yusen was at the bottom of his life as a "box office poison" and was even ridiculed for retirement, it was Tsui Hark who gave him his movie script "The True Colors of a Hero" and asked him to prove himself.
, the best partners who have ever achieved each other's achievements, go far away on a certain day, so that outsiders can't help but sigh.
But no matter what outsiders say, Wu Yusen firmly believes that he and Tsui Hark are knights and knights, and there is a kind of sympathy for each other, looking at each other but not forgetting each other.
On September 3, 2010, at the 67th Venice International Film Festival, the then leading director Quentin Tarantino and director Tsui Hark presented Wu Yusen with the Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement.
64-year-old Wu Yusen was extremely excited on the podium, not only because he was the first Chinese winner of this award.
More importantly, Tsui Hark, an old friend who has been rumored to be discouraged for many years, came to the scene to witness this glory with him.
When Xu Hark handed the trophy to Wu Yusen, Wu Yusen shed tears of happiness. The first sentence he said was "Thank you Xu Zai!".
When the two hugged tightly on the podium, countless Chinese shed tears.
, because of the two heavyweights in Hong Kong movies, has a very good account of the former friendship, as if everyone is happy and happy.
is like Wu Yusen's expression in the movie by Xiaozhuang's mouth: "It doesn't matter if you owe a debt between friends, otherwise you want friends to do something."
art comes from life.
The fourth brother played by Zhu Jiang, in order to fulfill the promise to Xiaozhuang, went to Wang Hai alone to ask for the compensation that Xiaozhuang deserved. In the end, he defended his brother's morality with his death.
Police officer Li Ying, breaking away from the reins of the legal system, shot Xiao Zhuang in front of the police, but gave the audience a sense of comfort in the true morality.
The sacrifice of life among these brothers is especially valuable in today's society of flashy fame and fortune.
When the bottom line of morality and principle is ignored and forgotten by people, do you still remember that there were people you wanted to do everything to protect?
So, Xiaozhuang and Li Ying, maybe Wu Yusen and Tsui Hark, maybe they are you and me who are looking at each other in sympathy but never forgotten.
