Hong Ying's new film "Moonlight Samurai" has a supporting actor played by Bai En, called Brother Gang. Brother Steel is a ruthless person, an underworld character, the husband of Qin Jiahui, who is in love with the protagonist, fights and domestic violence, and is in the limelight, and he is as popular as the protagonist in the movie.
When I was watching the film, I happened to meet the leader of the original unit, who happened to be called Brother Gang, sitting together. In the movie, Brother Steel was a little withdrawn from beginning to end, as if Brother Gang was fighting and picking up girls around me.
In fact, the "Brother Gang" in the movie is worth saying a few more words. The story of "Moonlight Samurai" began in the seventies and eighties of the last century, and the underworld leader Brother Steel was the most open-minded and ruthless person at the grassroots level in that era. I call him the Eater 10。
After watching the movie, some people may be confused, why is this kid so bullish?It's very simple, it was created at a special time, but it was abandoned by the times later.
II. II. II
For people like Brother Gang, there must be a little bit of system in the family, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to be pure.
If you are in a small town, your parents may be at the department level or at the county level. If you are in a village, it is generally a village cadre. In "Moonlight Warrior", director Hong Ying downgraded Brother Steel a little, his father seems to be a first mate on the ship, and he can be regarded as a person in charge, and Brother Steel himself is the workshop director of a water transportation repair factory.
So don't get me wrong, he's not a pure street guy without a serious job, otherwise no one will recognize him as the head.
This passer-by usually has some signature resource capabilities. Xiang Xiaoli said that there was something at home, and the unit could send a car. If you can get out of the car, it was a cow at that time.
There is a detail in the original book, his father-in-law Old Man Qin passed away, and the water transportation repair shop where Brother Steel worked and the hospital where Qin Jiahui worked each had a car. This is because his father has a low position, and he doesn't get out of the car until he dies. If his father is a little older, or even a leader, a director, a factory director, etc., then he can use the car for big and small things.
In those years, Brother Gang relied on the intertwined relationship, and he could use the power of the system to exploit the loopholes of the system, and at the same time avoid the blows of the system, which is very important. For example, if they cause trouble, are locked up, or are arrested, someone in the family can speak, can get out, or get a light haircut, this is very important, and it is related to their ability to continue to be awesome.
And then it's time to make money. Fighting is not the goal, making money is the goal. Brother Gang's group of people make money, first of all, they must have the convenience brought by their identity, which was necessary at that time.
According to Hongying's arrangement, Brother Gang mainly sells coal from Luzhou, his father is the first mate of the ship, and he is a water transportation repair factory, so it is convenient to engage in ships, which is what the system brings to them. If you don't have this convenience, first, you can't see the market demand, second, you can't get the goods, and third, even if you get the goods, you can't transport them. That's why the first bosses were all engaged in manufacturing, transportation, and commerce.
In addition, Brother Steel also has to have a specialty, that is, he can fight and kill, and he is brave and ruthless. The officials of the parents are not big enough to suppress one side, so of course they have to fight by themselves.
Being brave and ruthless is the basic characteristic of Brother Gang's group of people, and they have to be killed all the way. If you can't cut people, you can't eat 10。
If you want to fight, you can't do without the cannon fodder of your followers. At that time, it was a group of young people outside the system or on the fringes of the system who gathered around Brother Gang, fighting and killing. Follow Brother Gang, you can get benefits, you can get a little profit, you can bully others, play prestige, and use this to pick up girls, drunk and dream of death.
They helped Brother Steel rush to kill, and if they died, they died, and if they didn't die, they were confused. In "Moonlight Warrior", didn't Brother Steel grab coal with Brother Long in Jiulongpo and have a big fight, which is a portrayal of fighting and killing at that time.
People like Brother Steel were the most popular people at the grassroots level at that time. People who keep to themselves can't afford to mess with them, and if you provoke them, they won't be able to die, be disabled, and ruined for half their lives, but they don't have any. In the movie, no one dares to mess with Brother Gang.

In that era, people like Brother Steel were still the most fashionable people.
There is a scene where the captain of the art troupe scolds Brother Gang, saying that he is "flowing in the air and wearing bell bottoms". In fact, in Brother Gang, this is an honor. Brother Steel was the first to take on the fashion of bell bottoms. He would also burn his head with tongs. It wasn't until a few years later that their status as the "fashion frontier" was replaced by the next wave of trendsetters.
They were the first to learn to dance, the first to learn to sing pop songs. The girl loves to mess with them, too. There is a detail, I forgot if it was in the movie, when Qin Jiahui first followed Brother Gang, she sat on Brother Gang's motorcycle every day in full view of everyone, not only with a sense of security, but also with face.
This can make people better understand why in "Moonlight Samurai", Brother Gang is extremely strong in front of his rival Dou Xiaoming.
It is not just an adult man's crushing of the age, physical strength, and wealth of the little child, but the crushing of all aspects.
Including the crushing of the class. Dou Xiaoming has no father, his mother sells small noodles, and even the shop is on the street. As soon as the street chief is not happy, he can take the shop back. And Brother Gang's father is a small leader, and he is also a small leader of a state-owned factory. The resource capacity and social identity of the two sides are completely different from the same class.
and even crushing in fashion taste. Brother Steel has the ability to make a shower at home, and he can get a pump and a water pipe. Showering at home was the most fashionable thing in those days. Qin Jiahui was very proud when she told Dou Xiaoming about this. The water from the shower flows down and on the body, as if bathed in a wave of privilege and fashion.
For many people, following Brother Steel can gain a kind of self-identity. Many people are puzzled, why Qin Jiahui was bullied like this, and he refused to leave Brother Gang, the feelings here are very complicated, there is love, there is sadomasochism, there is inertia and psychological dependence, and there is a stupid mentality of repaying gratitude, Hongying is an expert in this regard. But in fact, it is difficult to find another Brother Steel without Gangge, because he occupies the ecological niche of this grassland. Brother Tiger in Jiulongpo may be worse than Brother Gang.
Leaving Brother Steel means having to cut off all of this, including wind, security, fashion, and showering.

However, the wheels of history are rolling forward, and after a cycle has passed, Brother Steel is no longer good.
In the movie, Brother Steel was ambitious and ran to Japan after he couldn't do it, as if he was killed by a devil. In fact, this group of people is not working, mainly for several common reasons.
For example, their parents are going to retire.
In the past, the head of the small local authority and the section chief had to retire when he reached the age of age. If you retreat, it's nothing. Brother Gang, they have lost their close relationship and convenience with the system.
Another example is the movement to crack down on rectification, including a campaign to maintain public order and a campaign to crack down on "speculation." These levels also hit the steel buddies who shouted and shouted to kill.
When I was a child, there was a scene that was very impressive, there was an uncle who came to play at home, and he was full of spirit, and he wrote his name to me one by one, I only remember the surname Cao, I forgot the name, it seems that the words are still good. Then it didn't take long to hear that he had been killed, that is, he had been beaten to death.
Larger presences tend to fall when it comes to cracking down on speculation. I remember that in the early 80s, Zhejiang cracked down on eight of the most famous private enterprises in Wenzhou, called the "Eight Kings", and these bosses were all arrested and imprisoned for "speculation".
Even the "Eight Kings" can't get through the cycle, not to mention Brother Gang, who is a small potato.
Moreover, there is the limited vision of the steel buddies and their poor learning ability.
In the movie, Brother Gang tried his best to run to Japan, but he couldn't get past the language barrier and couldn't integrate into it. He also wanted to do business, but without that familiar system, his eyes were blackened, and he couldn't see business opportunities at all. I wanted to pour some second-hand clothes and sell them back, but I finally couldn't do it, and the more mixed it up, the worse it became.
The brothers under his command also gradually dispersed, remembering the original mileage.
Third, Cheng Si and the two horses have gone out to work, there is no way, they always have to start a family, and they always have to eat.
Compared with Brother Gang, the rise of the "Eat Open" 20" are all upgraded versions, they are better at packaging than Brother Gang, and they have more learning ability. You see the rising star Dou Xiaoming, who will help people publish poetry collections, wear more elaborate clothes and leather shoes, flower shirts, and blow his hair before going out. And the rising star Su Yun is also a strong man, with a master's degree in art history and a doctorate in economics, opening a company, decorating villas for people, and specializing in serving the rich.
Steel buddies were left behind by the times. The city began to be demolished, the streets became unrecognizable, the faces of the power behind them were not recognized, and the old men of their own families retired, grew old, and died. Someone else does the business.
Steel buddies have gone from being trendy to outcasts. They took off their bell bottoms, but they didn't know what to wear. Standing in the smoke and dust of confusion, they were resentful and unwilling, blaming their brothers in the past for not being righteous, blaming women for changing their minds, blaming Qin Jiahui for being difficult to handle, blaming Fangfang for being ruthless and unrighteous, and blaming others for looking down on others.
Ganggang is still desperately holding on to the past grievances, and he wants to continue to work with Dou Xiaoming to the end, because only this peachy grievance can prove that he has existed and been awesome.
Later, Brother Steel said, my time has passed. This sentence applies not only to him, but also to the later Brother Gang 20, Brother Steel 30。
Many people think that they have overcome the times, but in fact, the era is the real steel brother, they are just abandoned by the chaos of the times.
