There is another saying:
The originator of nonsense
Thanks to my friends, I was abnormal for several days, and finally I dragged the owl down to watch it. Sure enough, this is a nonsense movie made before the definition of nonsense. It was co-produced by three brothers: producer and guest star Qin Pei, screenwriter Joel Bao Xiao, director and starring John Chiang, and co-actors Ceng Zhiwei and Xu Shaoqiang. The whole film spoofs Gu Long's novels and movies, such as the bat boy turned into an owl boy, the front door of Xiao Li's flower exploration house was designated as a forbidden area (walking in will infect tuberculosis), and the wicked village, and so on. The main idea of the story is that the owl's son (who really wears an owl hat) holds an annual auction meeting. When someone offered to buy the emperor's concubine in Room 36, the owl's son sent someone to steal the concubine. The emperor sent military commanders to investigate, and also sent two maids around him to help (these two maids are called Emerald and Pearl, as if John Chiang were making fun of his Ouchi Qunying). Seeing two beautiful women accompanying him, the military commander changed his attitude of desperately pushing the Committee before and went to perform the task with alacrity. The director boldly played a trick here, letting the military commander walk all the way to the camera and finally hit the camera. Then a guy dressed as a fortune teller came in from the right side of the camera, looked glumly at something like "How time flies, nine months have passed in an instant", and then came out from the left side of the camera, much like the role of Liu Yida in agent provocateur. The director used a lens to show the passage of time, and the emperors and ministers who had been motionless in the picture did not move. They continued to read the following lines. The military commander didn't find out anything, but he was pregnant with the maid. In a rage, the emperor punished three people, and then sent his trusted parrot to find Fan's bodyguard.
The parrot found the son of the dead guard Fan, and the role was played by. After reading the imperial edict, he died automatically and fell headlong from the tree. Fei bodyguard ran home, dug out a stack of portraits from the bookcase and considered who to ask for help. At this moment, I was startled by the music. Actually, it is the theme song of Missing: Imm Possible/Impossible, and U2 is also renovating old songs. Look at those portraits again. The first one is a man in ancient costume, holding a gun in his hand, making the shape of 007, with three Chinese characters "007" written next to it. Therefore, Zhou Xingxing's "domestic zero zero seven" is not original. The little fish in the second picture should be dressed as a little fish in Alexander Fu's Two Statues of a Family. The third picture shows three beautiful women with blond hair and blue eyes, and there is a big book in the upper right corner. Fan's bodyguard finally picked out the portraits of Xiaoyuer and He, and set out to find them. Because I felt that I was dressed too rustic, I dug out a set of clothes that my father had worn before his death and took to the streets, but it was called "there is a Taiwanese opera to listen to at night." That dress is obviously the style of costume films in 1950s and 1960s, and it seems to have been worn by Brigitte Lin and Leslie Cheung in "Going East and Going West".
Xiao Li in this kind of film can't be an elegant and affectionate Xiao Li in people's minds, but a bad old man who spits in a teacup. When he heard Fan's bodyguard asking for help, he immediately began to pour out bitter water, saying that it was because of Gu Longhe. He was always poisoned and always dueled with others, which really couldn't help. No way, the bodyguard Fan had to pull Xiao Li's apprentice Xiao Li and go to the wicked village to find Xiaoyuer. What a small fish! He became a big fat man like a butcher and refused to leave. Finally, a group of people punched and kicked Jaws (Ceng Zhiwei), the son of Xiaoyu, to help solve the case. Of course, the bad guys are not idle, so they find a stupid ninja (Qin Pei) who can stand the beating.
As the saying goes, three heads are better than one Zhuge Liang. Although these three spies are stupid enough, they are lucky. After a boring bar fight (the bar is very modern, with beautiful women in China costumes dancing kangkang, playing erhu as violin and pipa as guitar accompaniment), the three men found a suspect, but unfortunately they were already dead. Guard Fan wants Xiao Li, who inherited Xiao Li's flying knife stunt, to be a forensic doctor and dissect the dead. Xiao Li went into battle trembling. Before the knife went down, he saw the dead man's stomach pounding and something was coming out. The three men huddled together in fear. After a while, a bloody thing pierced the belly of the deceased and emerged. It turned out to be a little owl! The three of us are playing with aliens. iJ|K
With the tip of the owl, several people ran to Taikoo Shing to find Tangmen. As a result, all of them died, and only one Miss Tang was sent to the brothel. The three of them came to the brothel, made some jokes, and then met Shen and Shen Daxia (ornaments). The lines in this paragraph are all antique, and nonsense like "Shen deserves to be Shen" and "Shen is Shen" is staged, and a common table and chopsticks war in martial arts movies is staged, but there is no wonderful action design here, only soup flying around. Later, Xia Shen said angrily, "I haven't tried to invite people to dinner yet." If others don't eat chopsticks, I can't eat! " Fan bodyguard took over: "I have never been invited to dinner, and I am covered in it." I don't know why, I suddenly remembered "Going East and Going West". Qi Hong said in Shandong words, "You just threw up all over me."
Although the meal was not finished, they all found women to solve other needs. The next day, after being frightened by Miss Tang, I finally found the clue and was able to go deep into the enemy's nest. There were only a few decent martial arts when the movie was played here. Yasuaki Kurata, a Japanese who played Shi Wengong in Water Margin, also came out and dressed as a Japanese ninja with his pants ripped off. In the last paragraph, I still don't forget to spoof the decisive battle with the villain BOSS-Owl Son. Fan's bodyguard and the owl's son were fighting, and their movements suddenly closed to the rhythm of the music, so they began to dance the national standard dance. Xiao Li and the great white shark fought with their minions, and the ambulance flute sounded from time to time. Someone carried a stretcher to transport the wounded. The two sides of the fight took a temporary truce based on the principle of respecting angels in white, waiting for the stretcher to leave in front of summer sowing. When all the wannabe children were cleaned up, the owl boy finally showed his true colors. It turned out to be Lu Xiaofeng (Johnny) with four eyebrows. Lu Xiaofeng conjured all kinds of weapons from his cloak and struggled with the three men. Beating them, he took off the human skin mask on his face and called himself Lu Xiaofeng's brother Liu Dafeng. At this time, he took out a very bluffing thing-a round, rumbling sword with red light, and it was still buzzing when waving (the sound was made by a ninja (Qin Pei) who was loyal to his master). Fan's bodyguards didn't know what magic weapon it was, and they were too scared to come forward. Liu Dafeng danced the sword with dignity. When he accidentally touched something, the sword snapped. What a nice fluorescent lamp! Shit, even Star Wars. '
The three men rose up and conquered Liu Dafeng and the ninja who did not hesitate to protect the Lord. In order to be afraid of who wears a human skin mask as Liu Dafeng, several people tore off the face of the deceased Liu Dafeng and really pulled off a piece of skin. They quickly asked, "Who are you?" I saw a man with a bitter face and said, "I'm a stuntman."
The last baggage was here, and it was really left to Big Brother. Some people have commented on 36 kinds of Hong Kong funny films, many of which are relatively recent works, but this owl was shot by 198 1 The author thinks that this film can be called the originator of the later nonsense film, which may be true. I don't know the history of parody, but the owl is really too advanced and spoofed, which leads to poor box office results. Looking back now, I find that it has used all kinds of scenes of those funny films.
I haven't collected any special materials. I don't know if this "Owl" is the first play co-produced by the three Chiang brothers or the only one. In my impression, Qin Pei has a close relationship with his younger brother Dong Chengyi, who is 12 years younger than him. They often cooperate one by one. The True Story of Epilepsy, directed by Dong Chengyi for the first time, won Qin Pei the Best Supporting Actor Award that year. Dong Chengqi and John Chiang don't seem to be very cooperative, as if he is a little afraid of his brother. Perhaps Jiang's cold and arrogant image is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even those who have worked with these three people say that the three brothers of the Chiang family are a little scared.
