"Goldfinger" is finally released. Whether you watch it or not, like it or not. For some fans of old Hong Kong films - the lineup of "Andy Lau + Tony Leung" alone is worth everything. 
Infernal Affairs III: Ultimate Infernal Affairs was completed in 2003. After 20 years, these two were also born in the TVB training class, from the ** era of the Hong Kong film and television industry, to today's Hong Kong star king, also in their 60s, as the leading actors, jointly entered the Chinese New Year file. Such a mixed scene, throughout our lives, we may not encounter a few times. 
I still remember a netizen, after learning about the cast of "Goldfinger". I have such a feeling - seeing that the leading actors are the two of them, I feel very relieved inexplicably. With the release of "Goldfinger", today let's talk about a movie co-starring Andy Lau and Tony Leung
Heroes and heroes"Heroes of Central" is a standard urban fashion film. Zhang Haojie (played by Tony Leung), a young and promising insurance salesman, accidentally discovered a blister growing in his brain because of an accident. Because of this blister, Zhang Haojie's life will be in danger at any time. The insurance company also took this as an excuse and gave Zhang Haojie a long vacation. 
is to clear up the relationship and not to bear the compensation for Zhang Haojie's accidental death. On the other side, Hua Yingying (played by Andy Lau) is a street gangster who has achieved nothing. According to the looks, the person with the name "wood" can help him transport. Just as he was about to leave, he met his former classmate Zhang Haojie. 
It just so happened that at this time, they all wanted to change their lives. So Zhang Haojie replaced Hua Yingying and became a gangster. And Hua Yingying changed into a suit and leather shoes and went to work in an insurance company. The so-called urban fashion films are mostly romance films wrapped in various glamorous professional coats. "Heroes of Central" is certainly no exception. In the process of "mixing rivers and lakes", Zhang Haojie got acquainted with Fanny (played by Yuan Jieying), the daughter of a chic and capable gangster. 
Hua Yingying fell in love with his boss Miss Mei (played by Mao Shunyun) in the workplace of open and secret fighting. 
Frankly speaking, "Heroes of Central" is not a good work. It is set against the backdrop of Central, Hong Kong's most prosperous political and commercial centre. selected the workplace elite Zhang Haojie and the gangster Hua hero, these two more representative youth images. Most young people avoid real problems in their lives. Add some twists and turns to the emotions of men and women, and spice up some exciting or funny elements in daily life. 
However, there is still a core expression of the film, which still seems to be outdated today - you don't have to overindulge in the confusion and anxiety of youth, learn to follow your heart, enjoy the moment, and you can live a good life. is like Zhang Haojie's story line. He learned that he was dying soon, and he wanted to do a good deed to introduce Hua Yingying to be a white-collar worker. In his place, he wandered the streets. In the little time you have left, experience a different life. 
Later, Zhang Haojie was deeply attracted to Fanny, and the two experienced a lot of crazy things together. And at a drinking party, they confided in each other. But at this time, Zhang Haojie suddenly woke up. My life is in danger at any time, if I die suddenly one day. can only let Fanny, face life alone.
So, halfway through the wine that night, Zhang Haojie suddenly evaporated. It wasn't until he escaped after being kidnapped by robbers at the end of the film that he finally understood: life is inherently impermanent, and any natural and man-made disaster is enough to lose his life. It's better to accept the current situation, follow your heart, and live in the moment. This is the best choice for facing life.
"Heroes of Central", like many Hong Kong films in the 90s, has a very heavy comedy flavor. Andy Lau contributed a lot of nonsensical jokes in the film. Such an exaggerated and off-line role is actually not much in Andy Lau's acting career. The role of Zhang Haojie was diagnosed with a terminal illness at the beginning. For a large part of the film, he hides this secret. Confused and frightened.
Flip through Tony Leung's resume. In fact, since the first starring "Senior Brother Xinzha", the role he played has this melancholy temperament. Tony Leung's understanding and shaping of this role is decent. But it's really hard to find an actor like this who can act with just a pair of eyes.
In addition, the roles of the two heroines in the film are actually more worth talking about. Miss Mei, played by Mao Shunyun, is a strong outsider and a hardcore in the workplace. It was the appearance of Hua Hero that made her really strong. There is a great contrast between the front and back of this role, and Mao Shunyun's two styles in the film are also very different.
And the daughter of the gangster played by Yuan Jieying, although she only plays handsome, she is very good. But the temperament and charm of this role must only be convincing to Yuan Jieying at that time.
After chatting about "Central Heroes", Xiao Gu wants to take you to review "Andy Lau + Tony Leung". This is enough to represent the king combination of the first era of the Hong Kong film and television industry. If you still have works that you are interested in, we can talk about it another day.
Andy Lau & Tony LeungThe cooperation between Andy Lau and Tony Leung can be roughly divided into two stages. One is a TV series that they filmed together when they were studying in a training class. The other is a movie in which the five tigers will fly solo and the two will join forces again. Andy Lau is one year older than Tony Leung, and when he entered the training class, he also happened to be his senior brother by one year. As early as 1982, they starred together in Chow Yun-fat's version of "Su Qier". At that time, Andy Lau had already played the second male lead, and Tony Leung was still playing tricks.
Soon after, they acted together in "Falcon". It wasn't until 1984's "The Legend of Deer and Ding" that the two began to have a lot of rivalry. This drama also made them rise rapidly on TVB.
After that, they also starred in "Yang Jiajiang" together. Together with Huang Rihua, Miao Qiaowei, and Tang Zhenye, they are known as the TVB Five Tigers. Later, several people and their contracts expired one after another, and Andy Lau and Tony Leung both chose to make movies. "The True Story of A Fei" is the first movie they collaborated on after leaving TVB. It's a pity that Tony Leung's role was almost deleted in the end, and you know Wong Kar-wai's scene. The role between men and women is the most important.
Hong Kong filmmakers are very good at gimmicks, and in 1991, they gathered TVB Five Tigers to shoot "Five Tigers Will Break Up". Andy Lau and Tony Leung also collaborated again because of this play. But this is a police movie, and it has nothing to do with the inside story of these five people flying solo.
"Heroes of Central" and "Horse Fight" are also works of this period. Subsequently, Tony Leung made a lot of Wong Kar-wai movies. Andy Lau's ** is more of a mainstream commercial film. In 2000 and 2003, the two co-starred in two "Infernal Affairs". "Infernal Affairs" can be said to be a rescue work. As the two male protagonists of the film, it can also be said that Andy Lau and Tony Leung teamed up to briefly reverse the decline of Hong Kong films.
In the 20 years since then, the two have never collaborated on film and television works. "Goldfinger" did create a rare opportunity, but Andy Lau and Tony Leung during the "Central Heroes" period can never go back. 100 help plan
