Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

The Angel Action series starring Li Saifeng in the original time and space can be regarded as Hong Kong's classic action movies. Especially in the action movies with a female perspective, the Angel series and Royal Sisters are the most classic.

The feature of the "Angel Action" series is that it does not hesitate to use manpower and material resources to shoot internationally or abroad. It is a rare Hong Kong-style gunfire action scene. Li Saifeng also became the most popular in the 1980s and 1990s with the Angel series. One of the action actresses.

But in fact, neither Angel Action nor Royal Sister is a classic in later generations.

The most praised and popular gunfight scene of Angel Action when it was released was not a classic in the audience of later generations, it was very noisy, and it was really unnecessary.

This is also the reason why the Royal Sister is a little better than the Angel Action, because the Royal Sister is mainly fist and does not use guns very much. Women fighting whether they are beating men or women are very interesting in themselves. Hands-on can be compared to grabbing. Too many heads.

The idea of ​​Angel Action and Royal Sisters playing the female star card is very good. Under the environment of rising women's status, the main female card is very marketable, and not only women like men but also.

But apart from the second part of the Royal Sisters, the other stories Qiao Feng don't like very much, because in his opinion, they are really ordinary. This is why Qiao Feng only chose the Royal Sisters 2 for shooting without any follow-up production.

Originally, Qiao Feng was also not interested in the Angel Action series, but one day two months ago, Qiao Feng suddenly remembered another series of films related to angels, named Charlie Charlie.

Charlie Charlie also tells the story of an organization with angels dealing with bad guys. There are three beautiful and intelligent women in the movie. They accept and complete difficult tasks under the control of the boss Charlie behind the scenes. They are in harmony in the process of completing the tasks. The bad guys fight wits and courage. They are very popular, and the box office is quite high. Not only that, but also the fire of all three women.

Then a thought flashed in Qiao Feng's mind. Anyway, there are organizations composed of angels, so why not make Angel Action and Charlie Girl a series?

Action Angel focuses on the Southeast Asian market, and Charlie Girl targets the European and American markets.

Originally, the angel organization was a criminal nemesis operating in Southeast Asia and had done many great things in Southeast Asia. Later, the scope of activities of the angel organization expanded from Southeast Asia to Europe and America.

Starting from Hong Kong, the first one will focus on the Southeast Asian market, and then it will also be released in Europe and the United States. However, depending on the actual situation, we will gradually increase European and American things after the response. If the response is generally, continue to attack Southeast Asia and stabilize the Southeast Asian market. Europe and America push.

However, to synthesize a series, the script must first be changed.

The first part of Operation Angel is that the police in Hong Kong, Japan and Thailand jointly burned down the poppy field on the eastern border of Thailand for the first time. A large Asian drug cartel sent killers to retaliate against the police. Interpol who participated in the burning of drugs were killed one after another. Angry, the Interpol headquarters was also very shaken. Interpol dispatched a section chief to take over the program, and invited the organization nicknamed Angel Group, a crime organization that gathers the top case-handling elites in Asia, to participate in the operation.

Because the original version wanted to enter the Japanese market, the number one among the angels was Japan himself, and the invited Japanese idol Xijo Hideki appeared in the red.

After Qiao Feng re-written the script, first of all there is no Japan in this angel organization. Whether it will depend on the situation in the future, anyway, the positive role will definitely not be given to the Japanese. Although the bad guys in it are Hong Kong people, they are Japanese big islands. It was played by Gary, but Qiao Feng was changed. The bad guy became the Japanese himself, but Hui Yinghong was chosen to play.

Apart from the actors, the biggest change is that the angels no longer use guns at every turn, because gunfight movies are definitely the best to play in Hollywood, because people can’t help but guns. Any gun can be made. There are all kinds of guns in supermarkets. Guns, Hong Kong movies are more romantic than Hollywood, and they can be more romantic than gun battles, but it’s incomparable to the popularity of gun battles.

To export, you have to export what is unique to Hong Kong, what European and American audiences need and want. Why did Li Xiaolong, Cheng Long, and Li Lianjie score in Hollywood, and they are also very successful, because they can play, they can Chinese Kung Fu, this is what American audiences like , Which is also lacking in Hollywood movies.

Therefore, the biggest change in the script by Qiao Feng is the action scene. The original version of Angel Action, whether it is villains or angels, basically uses firearms. No matter how you shoot it bang bang bang first, or it’s a bomb, even the bad guys will A group of people held guns and shot for a long time, and there was nothing in their ears except the crackling gunshots, giving people a very noisy and uncomfortable feeling.

After Qiao Feng's re-adaptation, the shooting scenes became one of the few, and there were very few shooting scenes. Only the villain used guns. Two women, one man and three angels were able to overcome stubborn enemies with bare hands.

In fact, it is a routine with Cheng Long's movie, let alone without a gun, even with a gun without firing. If you take a gun during a fight, you will not use it for various reasons, and even use it as a throwing weapon to hit your opponent.

In order to achieve such an effect, Qiao Feng invited Tang Jili. At this time, Tang Jili was of course not famous. He had worked as a martial arts actor, a stand-in for a martial artist, an assistant director, a producer and a screenwriter for Wireless, Shaw Brothers, and Jiahe, like Zhou Runfa and Zhang Guorong. Zhang Manyu, Zhong Chuhong, and other people's stand-ins have been done by him, but they are just mixed.

But Qiao Feng knew that this would be a well-known director in the future, and he was very successful in directing Cheng Long’s several films. Therefore, Qiao Feng simply invited Tang Jili to be the director of Angel Action and also participated in the screenwriting. And action design.

In addition to the director looking for Tang Jili, martial arts instructor Qiao Feng specially recruited Liang Xiaolong, one of the four little dragons in Hong Kong, to serve as martial arts instructor and train Li Saifeng and the others.

Liang Xiaolong was introduced to the mainland because of Huo Yuanjia and Chen Zhen. When he was invited to the mainland for cultural exchanges, he said in an interview: "This is the first time in my life that I set foot on my motherland. The audience is enthusiastic about me. Being friendly as a family member, I am deeply moved. As a Chinese, I silently wish the motherland's economic take-off!"

Because of this sentence, Liang Xiaolong was banned by Taiwan. No one dared to find him for filming on TV or movies. However, Liang Xiaolong was ruined because of his wife's revenge. He spent a lot of money on medical treatment, and it was spent up and down. Four million Hong Kong dollars, this is not a small amount for Liang Xiaolong who mainly shoots TV. It can be said that he broke his family and was banned. It can be said that his life has basically collapsed. Later, because it is difficult to face, his wife took the initiative to fight Liang Xiaolong. Divorced, but Liang Xiaolong's life did not improve for a while.

I asked Liang Xiaolong to help him. Secondly, Liang Xiaolong was really good at kung fu. He had real kung fu. He was besieged by many people outside his martial arts gym. Liang Xiaolong beat everyone down, but he was There is no injury, it is perfectly fine to be a martial arts instructor.

In addition to Li Saifeng, the other female angel is Huang Qiuyan, and the male is He Jiajin from ATV.

Liang Xiaolong’s training is rigorous. Of course it’s easy for Huang Qiuyan, but it’s harder for Li Saifeng and He Jiajin. You have to train for four or five hours every day when you’re less, and when you’re more. Eight or nine hours.

It's no wonder that Li Saifeng is tired and unwilling to take the mess left by Wang Cuxian.
