1. The inspiration for To Qifeng and Wei Jiahui
's "Blind Detective" from a certain point of view indeed borrowed from To Qifeng's "The Detective" (TVB also borrowed it for the filming of "Heart War"). A remake of a suspenseful and violent movie. However, To Qifeng unexpectedly put on the title of "love comedy" for him. This has to be attributed to the close cooperation between To Qifeng and Wei Jiahui. As Du Qifeng's queen screenwriter. Wei Jiahui and To Qifeng can always tell the truth of "the fate is impermanent" one by one.
"Blind Detective" makes this impermanent fate even more tortuous and bizarre. In the play, Johnston, played by Andy Lau, went from being blinded four years ago to discovering that his goddess had already become a friend's wife four years later. And He Jiatong, played by Zheng Xiuwen, is the epitome of world affairs. The reincarnation fate of the four generations of the "Xiao Min" family that runs through the story line further deepens the theme.
From the beginning of the year when Du Qifeng broke the taboo of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and made the best police and gangster film "Drug War" in the mainland so far to this "Blind Detective" which combines violence, suspense, love and other elements, I hope that Du Qifeng and Wei Jiahui will be a couple. The golden combination can continue to write brilliant.
2. Andy Lau and Zheng Xiuwen
fully demonstrated his talent as an actor in the interpretation of "Blind Detective". When the role of "Blind Detective" is performed in every detail, it is wonderful; and Zheng Xiuwen's return to a slightly silly image of a Hong Kong girl after the transformation of "Love at High Altitude II" and her breakthrough interpretation of various psychological roles are even more commendable. After all, the Hong Kong Film Awards owed her more than ten years. More than ten years ago, Du Qifeng + Andy Lau + Zheng Xiuwen could give the audience a different look and feel. Whether it is the workplace story "Lone Man and Widow Girl", the weight loss story "Slimming Men and Women" or the stealing story "Dragon and Phoenix Fight", they have become the hearts of the audience.
Compared to "Fuchun Mountain Dwelling", which received a flood of bad reviews, Andy Lau's portrayal and interpretation of the blind in "Blind Detective" can be compared with his "Infernal Affairs" ten years ago; and Zheng Xiuwen let me revisit the classics of that year. At that time, I also found out that she is also over forty...
3. Lin Xi
is actually one of the people who has collaborated with John To Qifeng the most. Unlike Wei Jiahui's screenwriter or Andy Lau and Zheng Xiuwen's leading role, Lin Xi's cooperation lies in writing lyrics. . Lin Xi's own writing in "No Spit, No Pleasure", "I also like to spend the whole night talking about To Qifeng's expertise to expose the truth of the impermanence of fate" is evidence.
Few people pay attention to the theme song of a movie these days. In that year, the theme song "Emotional Online" of "Lonely Men and Widows" was selected as the top ten golden songs of the year, and the theme song "Lifelong Beauty" of "Slimming Men and Women" was also the best song of the Hong Kong Film Awards that year. Lin Xi's words can be said to add a lot of color to To Qifeng's film. For example, in 2002's "Zhong Wuyan", Lin Xi wrote the Cantonese and Cantonese versions of all the theme songs, episodes, and lyrics of the play.
In "Blind Detective", Lin Xi contributed the Mandarin version of "Not Blind, Not Love" and the Cantonese version of "Blind Love", and the two powerful singers, Andy Lau and Zheng Xiuwen, sang duet. The words are subtly integrated into the plot, "find emotions through clues and traces, and under the sky net, the more you are close, the better you are" ("Blind Love"), which summarizes the plot in just one sentence. "It is perseverance to be wrong, and blindness to be right, it doesn't matter anymore" ("Not Blind, Not Love") is a well-known pun.
In any case, we hope that the five of To Qifeng, Wei Jiahui, Andy Lau, Zheng Xiuwen, and Lin Xi will continue to create better works.
