This is a good story. It is with this background that the two male and female protagonists who are completely impossible to meet in real life can live together intimately for a month, and the story logic is complete and rigorous, and the character details are in place. Just right.
As for Hong Kong films that are not well-made, and that the mainland teases the mainland from time to time, that is the mark of an era and cannot be regarded as a shortcoming. I specifically went to check the origins of the two screenwriters, and it turns out that many classic Hong Kong films are from the two. The story is good. The appearance and acting skills of the male and female lead actors are all online. This film is a classic no matter when you rewatch it.
Personal bodyguard, take care of the heroine's diet and daily life. The male protagonist Ah Zheng is rigorous and responsible, and does not covet the character of women. In today's words, he is "abstinence-oriented male protagonist", which is fully expressed through a very small plot:
Ah Zheng didn't look sideways, and with one movement, he pushed Michelle back to the shower. After going out, he dragged away the supporting actor No. 2 who was about to rush in.
When I was young at that time, I felt sorry for the hero and heroine not being together while watching. Now, when people look at it in middle age, they will realize that if the screenwriter keeps Ah Zheng by Michelle's side, then the hero and heroine will be "written to death", and a good story will be buried.
Ah Zheng himself said that he can't do anything other than being a bodyguard. As for Michelle, although she is a music teacher in elementary school, this kind of work is just the icing on the cake. The most suitable object for her character positioning is James. Coupled with the background of the two, one mainland and one overseas, it is impossible.
The part where Michelle seduces Ah Zheng is so well done. From Ah Zheng's surveillance, seeing Michelle slowly approaching him from behind, he was already nervous and at a loss. However, after hearing the siren, he immediately became alert and sneaked into the master bedroom with agility. Of course nothing happened afterwards, and it is impossible for a professional bodyguard to have any personal disputes with the employer. I thought to myself that if they had some chance encounters after the mission was over, that would be the best ending.
As a star, Jet Li can perform emotional dramas to this extent, which is already very good. Later, I specifically went to check his past experience. It turned out that when he was in Hong Kong, he faced the real bloody storm.
