Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

The main film finally started.

It starts with the story of the protagonist's parents, which is not as draggy as the original film, but has the usual fast pace of Hong Kong films.

The art and photography used by Yang Ye are all top-notch in the industry, so the images, compositions, and colors presented are extraordinary and very comfortable to watch.

The performances of Ti Lung and Zheng Peipei are both remarkable, so the movie-watching experience is still good.

Then Ti Long escaped, Zheng Peipei became pregnant, and her daughter was born, but unfortunately she suffered from autism.

Then the enemy came to the door again and cut off Zheng Peipei's toes. It looked extremely miserable.

When my daughter saw someone practicing boxing downstairs, she followed suit and kicked a pillar with her feet. Her legs were covered in blood and she didn't know it hurt.

My mother had to wrap the pillar with a quilt and let her kick it.

When the camera turned, little Zhang Baizhi grew up and became little Yang Caini.

Although the characters have been replaced, the two little girls still look as cute as Yuxue, making the audience feel inexplicably distressed.

At this time, the heroine's ability emerged. The little fat man sneaked up from behind and was knocked to the ground by her.

The little fat man threw the ball behind her and she could catch it without even looking.

"Does this have special powers?"

"Where is her master? When will she become her master?"

Yang Ye's movie attracted a lot of attention before the filming started. The media previously revealed that the female boxer and the boxer have a master-disciple relationship, so everyone is looking forward to Yang Ye appearing in this movie.

The little fat man threw a ball, and the scene turned to show Li Saifeng catching the ball.

A very clever montage where the heroine grows up.

Her livelihood skill is actually... playing catch.

Then a group of young and Dangerous boys stepped forward to cause trouble and deliberately threw knives for Li Saifeng to catch. The two sides naturally started fighting, and the young and Dangerous boys were beaten to a pulp by Li Saifeng.

In particular, Li Saifeng jumped up in the air and kicked the neck of a young and Dangerous boy standing on the high platform with her toes. It was a heroic appearance, which made the audience see her strength.

Then the misfortune continued. Her mother got cancer and had no money for treatment. The fat man took Li Saifeng to collect debts, but was beaten.

At night, Li Saifeng lay in bed and had a beautiful dream.

In the dream, she turned into an invincible female warrior, complete with impassioned BGM.

As she beat the enemy to a pulp, blood splattered in the air, forming a red eyeball, and Moon Lee opened her eyes.

She got up from the bed and ran to the ice factory alone to collect debts.

The people at the ice factory naturally didn't care about this weak-looking little girl and knocked her to the ground at will.

Li Saifeng was lying on the ground, calling her mother's name, recalling the scene of being bullied, and the movies she had watched on TV kept flashing back, Bruce Lee, Yang Ye, Chen Long, Yuan Biao...

Suddenly, these figures all overlap...

"Mom!" Li Saifeng stood up like a carp and knocked over an ice factory man with one kick.

"I'll fight~ah~ah~ah..." Li Saifeng touched her nose, and Bruce Lee's soul possessed him!
This has completely confused the audience in the cinema, is this okay?
But this kick was really fun, and many people got excited.

The protagonist fights back, this is a routine that everyone likes to watch.

Bruce Lee alone is not enough, Yang Ye is also possessed by his soul, and the fist-raising action in "Fist Fighter" is also displayed at this moment.

Now the audience knows why this movie is called "Female Boxer".

"Damn it, it turns out she learned her kung fu from watching TV?"

Although it’s outrageous, it’s inexplicably cool.

Especially when Li Saifeng performs the classic moves in the movies of Bruce Lee and Yang Ye, the portraits will overlap.

The audience in the cinema are all action movie lovers. Everyone is familiar with these classic actions, and they immediately applauded.

Listening to these applause, Li Saifeng, who had been nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the audience accepted the movie.

In the dark environment, Yang Ye gently shook Li Saifeng's little hand. Li Saifeng turned around and saw Yang Ye's encouraging eyes, and couldn't help but smile.

The audience didn't know that Bruce Lee could only possess the spirit, but Yang Ye could possess the body.

……

Li Saifeng made a big fuss at the ice factory and successfully received the money.

So Wang Jing rode a motorcycle and took Li Saifeng on a violent road to ask for wages.

When he went to the slaughterhouse to ask for wages, he became possessed by Chen Long's soul again, and began to make clever use of the surrounding environment, including chopping boards, kitchen knives, meat hooks, pig heads... they were all available with his hands.

Li Saifeng pulled off the pork guy's apron and used it to grab the knife. It was exactly the same as taking off his coat to grab the knife in Chen Long's movie.

In addition to the thrilling fights, various clever jokes emerge one after another, taking the humorous route.

For example, a pork guy threw a butcher knife at Li Saifeng, but the knife hit a pot, bounced back, and hit himself, making the audience laugh.

Mom's enemy came to the door, and Li Saifeng fought with the enemy under the low iron fence.

This fight scene limits the action to a small space, giving it an oppressive aesthetic.

The exquisite design displayed here is somewhat similar to the battle in "Fang Shiyu" which was released just over two months ago.

This horse riding... is possessed by Li Lianjie's soul again!

But each scene is just similar, not copied, but has its own new ideas.

In order to save her mother, Li Saifeng chased her all the way, rushed into the gang hall, and started a battle with the enemy.

In this battle, Li Saifeng fought one against a hundred, which made the audience excited.

Since Li Saifeng is a well-behaved little girl but lacks strength, Yang Ye frantically gave Li Saifeng agility points when designing her moves.

In a fight, every blow from Li Saifeng will accurately hit the enemy's joints or vital parts, easily incapacitating the enemy's combat effectiveness.

The heroine Aning is an autistic person and a martial arts genius. She learned great martial arts while watching TV, so it makes sense that she can carry out precise strikes on the enemy's vital parts.

Unable to defeat them with fists and kicks, the young and Dangerous boys rushed up with machetes...

In this section, the original version is a Japanese-style tangko, with the boys pulling out Japanese samurai swords one after another, because it is imitating "Kill Bill" and the heroine is possessed by the soul of Uma Thurman.

It is obviously Thailand, but there is a Japanese-style entrance. It is very nonsense. Naturally, Yang Ye will not copy it.

So he changed it to the model of a Hong Kong club. The boys all rushed up with machetes just like in "Young and Dangerous", which was more down-to-earth.

……

Coming to the final battle, the two sides clung to the outer wall of a three-story building, jumping and fighting with the help of balconies, windows, billboards, light boxes, ladders, wires and other props.

Both sides must carefully pay attention to their steps to prevent themselves from falling, and they must also find ways to kill their opponents. The thrilling experience is directly full.

Everyone in the audience opened their mouths wide... Damn it, can this be done?

Fighting on the outer wall of a building has never been seen in Hong Kong movies these days. It is very innovative. Even in later generations, it was only briefly played in "Ip Man Gaiden Zhang Tianzhi".

Li Saifeng passed through the levels and beheaded enemies all the way, killing people and killing Buddhas, and finally caught up with the villain played by Wan Ziliang and threw him from the third floor.

Then he used his "light kung fu" skills and nimbly climbed down from the third floor. On the ground, there were wailing young and Dangerous boys everywhere, and the big boss was also dead.

……

Her mother passed away after all, but fortunately she still has her father!
The last scene shows a row of tall windmills turning in the sea breeze on the vast seaside. Ti Long and Li Saifeng slowly walk along the road into the distance.

……

Warm applause!
The plot of "Female Boxer" is very nonsense, but in this era, it is very innovative. In traditional Hong Kong martial arts films, such as the very old Shaw Brothers martial arts films, the protagonists learn skills from a master and practice all the way to finally defeat the big boss.

Even when Shaw Brothers ceased production, Liu Jialiang, Chang Cheh and others continued to repeat this routine.

However, in "Female Boxing Fighter", the protagonist Aning does not need to learn from a teacher. She is a martial arts genius. She learned it by squatting at home watching TV, kicking pillars and catching balloons every day.

In the movie, she even showed her super imitation ability.

There was a hip-hop boy who came up to fight with her. He made a lot of fake moves, and Aning suffered a loss at first.

But her eyes were like a camera, and she instantly captured the movements of the hip-hop boy, then copied his abilities and defeated her opponent with the same movements.

Nonsense, but interesting!

The most important thing is that the audience deeply admires Li Saifeng's professionalism. There are many wonderful fighting moves in the movie that are so difficult that it makes people cry out!

Moreover, the whole movie is very gradual, and the fight is a bit light at first, and it is constantly possessed by the souls of various great gods.

It wasn’t until the final battle that it came together completely, and the choice of fight scenes was unheard of!

The feeling of the whole movie is just one word...it's so damn good!
With such a wonderful performance, the box office is naturally worth looking forward to.

……

"Tomorrow I invite you to watch my performance in "Female Boxer"!" Yang Caini proudly said to her friends.

"Yeah!"

"Caini, I heard that you are the heroine of "Female Boxer"?"

"I was the heroine Aning when she was a child. When she grew up, it was sister Aman who played the role of Aning."

"Have you met Li Saifeng?"

"Of course, I have also met Mr. Yang and Zheng Peipei, and their signatures!"

"so amazing!"

"But I want to watch "Family Portrait"!" Chen Yaxian said.

Baiyang Pictures' "Female Fighter" and New Art City's "Family Portrait" have conflicted schedules.

"Family Portrait" stars Xu Guanjie and talented child star Xiao Binbin, and also stars Chen Yaxian.

"Believe me, "Female Fighter" is better!"

"There are no pretty boys in "Female Boxer," but Xu Guanjie is in "Family Portrait."

"Xu Guanjie is so old, what's so interesting about it? There's also Ti Lung in "Female Boxer"!"

"Isn't Dillon older? He's bald!"

"Uh..." Yang Caini was speechless for a moment.

"Okay, let's leave early tomorrow and we can just watch both movies? Really!"

……

"Family Portrait" is directed by Shi Tian and co-stars Xu Guanjie, Xiao Binbin, Zheng Wenya, Zhen Ni, and Shi Shi. The original time and space ranked fifth at the annual box office in 1984.

Looking at the cast alone, "Family Portrait" is much stronger than "Fighter", which mainly stars Li Saifeng, although it also has two veteran superstars, Ti Lung and Cheng Peipei.

However, since they are older, their influence is naturally not as good as those who are currently popular in "Family Portrait".

Moreover, in Hong Kong, comedies are more popular than action movies. At the box office of Hong Kong in the original time and space, most of the time, comedies topped the box office.

It's just that "comedies don't move away from home". After leaving Hong Kong, they were hit by action movies.

Fortunately, director Yang Ye's reputation is not hidden. The two films were released on the same day and the box office was very tight.

In movie theaters, this often happens:

A group of people have just come out of the cinema. When they meet, they will ask: "What did you see?"

""Female Boxer", what about you?"

"We watched "Family Portrait" and "Female Fighter", were they good?"

"It's good to watch. Li Saifeng is indeed Yang Ye's disciple. The fight was really fierce. I watched it with my mouth open the whole time."

"No way? Li Saifeng looks so cute, is he really so good at fighting?"

"Why am I lying to you? How can I be Yang Ye's disciple if I can't fight? Yang Ye's disciples are all very powerful."

"Then we need to buy tickets and go see it!"

"Go and watch it, you can't go wrong with Yang Ye's movie. Did you like "Family Portrait"?"

"It looks great! It's so funny that my stomach hurts from laughing, especially that little Binbin, so cute!"

"Then let's watch "All in the Family" too!"

"Go ahead, it's a movie in Xinyi City, what can be wrong?"

The two movies competed with each other and were evenly matched in the schedule. At the end of the summer season, they were evenly matched.

Now the media are speculating, can New Art City defeat Yang Ye this time?
But Yang Ye doesn't care at all. Li Saifeng, a little girl, can compete with the superstar Xu Guanjie. She is already very awesome. It doesn't matter even if she loses, there are still overseas.

Can "Family Portrait" compare with "The Fighter" at overseas box office?
Yang Ye accepted Tom Cruise as his disciple, so naturally he couldn't let it go.

He left the road show of the new film to Li Saifeng himself, and he went to the United States with Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner.

……

After getting off work, Adjani picked up Yang Xi from kindergarten. As soon as she got home, she smelled a scent coming from the kitchen.

Little Yang Xi sniffed and said, "It's dumplings, daddy is back!"

Yang Ye walked out of the kitchen with a plate of dumplings. Little Yang Xi immediately rushed forward, hugged Yang Ye's thigh, and shouted happily: "Dad!"

"Slow down, my baby, you spilled the dumplings!"

"Elaine, be careful of getting burned!" Adjani shouted worriedly from behind, walking over quickly to take the plate from Yang Ye's hand.

Yang Ye hugged this beauty with one hand and said, "Do you miss me?"

"Think about it every day, honey!"

"I miss you too, honey!"

The two of them put their faces together and started kissing. Little Yang Xi was sandwiched between them, raised up, and looked at her parents kissing with a smile.

……

A family of three sat at the dining table to eat. Xiao Yang Xi ate the dumplings with big mouthfuls. They felt so delicious.

Yang Ye fondly touched her smooth black hair and said with a smile: "This child has a Chinese stomach!"

"Because I often take her to eat Chinese food!"

"She is so lucky. Her father is Chinese and her mother is French. The most delicious food in the world is from her hometown!"

After hearing this, Adjani couldn't help laughing, and then asked: "How long do you plan to stay here this time?"

Yang Ye said: "About half a year, I would like to ask you to make a movie."

Adjani said curiously: "Invite me? What kind of movie will you make?"

Yang Ye said: "What can I make? Of course it's an action movie, called "Kill Bill"!" (End of this chapter)
