Dig into the details of this congenial work by Li Lichi and Stephen Chow

1. First of all, let’s clarify the era in the film. Jacky Cheung was very popular in the 1990s. Li Xianglan recorded the Cantonese album “Dream of You” released in 1990. It was proposed in 1985 that Shenzhen has been opened (it was explained at the beginning, there are prostitutes) , the 100 yuan face value workers, peasants and soldiers bought out belonged to the fourth set of renminbi (issued in 1987). So it is estimated that the age is about 90 years.

2. Li Xianglan (real name Yamaguchi Shuko) is a "traitor", and Li Xiangqin was tortured in the shadow of her parents. The Southern Commander, who is open-minded and at the forefront of the times, has been consummately insulting Li Xiangqin repeatedly with the theory of blood, in order to achieve physical and mental control. Although the traditional commander of the North is fighting for the task of finding bones, he is sincerely trying to find the national treasure. His two subordinates also mistakenly thought that they were in trouble with the Golden Gunners when they asked Ling Lingqi for trouble

3. Ling Lingqi was forgotten for ten years, and was almost permanently forgotten in the collective destruction of archives. Only after being picked up by the Southern Commander did he regain the opportunity to serve the motherland. The dialogue with Du Juan (he was so beautiful after ten years), and the dialogue with the commander (after ten years, I thought he forgot about me) can all prove that it was forgotten ten years ago, that is, 80 years. Still using the 65-year-old spy manual can also confirm that Ling Lingqi is an older generation of agents.

4. The most funny part of the shooting, even the illiterate and the director's son can't let go. It may be a confirmation of the ruthless and unselfish law enforcement of the crackdown.

5. Da Vinci, as the inventor partner of Ling Lingqi, acted crazy from beginning to end, and became like this, the reason should be driven crazy by "being researched" in a mental hospital in the past ten years. Coincidentally, Qian Xuesen was forced to practice qigong in the past three teachers. I don't know if the film itself has this inspiration.

6. The national treasure keel guard guards against theft, and Lai Youwei, the smuggling king, may be based on the ten years of cultural relic destruction boom at that time, which is also reflected in the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". In addition, those who are interested in the protection of cultural relics can find relevant researches of Xie Chensheng, a famous expert in the cultural relics industry, which are well-founded and detailed.

7. The commander stole the keel by himself, shouted to catch the golden gunman, and brainwashed Li Xiangqin. The tragedies of pregnant women were caused by Ling Lingqi. In fact, they may have been caused by themselves. And whether it is as clever as Ling Lingqi or as clever as Li Xiangqin, they all believed the words of the commander who seemed to be rooted and miaohong, and accused the wrong person.

8. National hero at the end of the film - ** gift. The real hero who has just made meritorious deeds, punished the evil and eliminated the evil, and held the beauty back, returned to the pig slaughtering booth, but his partner, the neurotic Da Vinci, as an incompetent "scientist" succeeded in ascending the post. Maybe I want to spoof the folk song that the atomic bomb is not as good as tea eggs

In fact, there are too many other details. The talents and inclinations of Li Lichi and Stephen Chow are at their peak in this film. They deconstructed and reorganized extremely rich elements such as 007, martial arts, people's livelihood, and the changes of the times in a comedy way. But looking for reality from the absurd, and looking for the absurd from the reality, I can't find anything new. This is just a standard Zhou's comedy in 1994, and everyone just smiles (Li Li holds the opening of Sina Weibo, everyone Can pay attention, very grounded)
