It wasn't until 1985, Li Changsheng was busy setting up business in the mainland, and on the other hand, he didn't give up filming in Xiangjiang.
He urged Cheng Long to release his masterpiece Police Story as soon as possible. For a Kung Fu film like Police Story, it is most appropriate for Cheng Long himself to play the role.
The difference from the original time and space is that Police Story is still invested by Golden Harvest controlled by Li Changsheng, and Cheng Long has not established a separate company from Golden Harvest.
Because Cheng Long now knows more and more how powerful Li Changsheng is, so he obediently filmed within the limits set by Li Changsheng.
It turned out that in that time and space, in 1985, Cheng Long, who was already full-fledged, finally established a school. With the support of Golden Harvest, he founded Weihe Company and released his first work "Police Story".
At this time, Cheng Long was at the peak of both his physical condition and his life-threatening ambition. Under his leadership, the film was full of masculinity and radiance from beginning to end, and it became the most classic work of his career.
The film portrays a heroic policeman, Chen Jiaju, who sacrifices his life to maintain social order and justice. At this time, the negotiations have ended, and the fate of Hong Kong has been settled. The heroic image of strong law enforcement is very helpful to enhance the confidence and sense of security of Hong Kong people.
The script of "Police Story" is still written by Deng Jingsheng, and it is probably the best of all Xiangjiang kung fu movies. The plot is complete, with ups and downs, which not only provides a solid platform for showing Chenglong Kung Fu, but also does not lose the fun of its own story.
Some satirical dialogues interspersed at will subtly portray the social reality, and the big is seen in the small, and the skill is very profound.
Cheng Long eliminated the jokes in the martial arts and arranged more in the non-fighting links, so that they could serve the plot. The one-man show where Cheng Long answered the phone at the Sha Tau Kok police station alone was full of wit and wit.
The interaction between him and Lin Qingxia and Zhang Manyu used the routines in the five lucky stars, using several misunderstandings to create humor, and skillfully controlled the rhythm and rhythm in terms of language and movements, with a unique sense of joy.
The villain played by the great director Chu Yuan is cunning and cunning, which makes people itch with hatred, and Charlie, a master of trickery, helps him out. I don't know if when Cheng Long glared at him, would he think of the bitter past ten years ago when he tried to play Gu Long's martial arts but was rejected.
After the success of "Project A", Cheng Long continued to expand his martial arts routines, seeking innovation and change.
Influenced by "Shaolin Temple", he absorbed the style of opening and closing of the northern school, so that his fighting scenes are not limited to juggling flashes and maneuvers, but also add a tough and realistic temperament, which not only makes the scenes more beautiful, but also fits the character of the characters .
All kinds of powerful destruction give people the most direct sensory stimulation, and too many glasses were broken, so that this movie got an alias: glass story.
Zhang Manyu gave up her star image and acted in many thrilling scenes at the risk of disfigurement.
At this time, she is still a cute vase that is naturally carved, and a pair of small rabbit teeth are very cute, but she has won Cheng Long's respect with her stubbornness and courage.
Another heroine, Lin Qingxia, sought a breakthrough after she broke off her engagement, changed her look, and cut off her long hair to take over the role in this film.
Cheng Long didn't treat her preferentially just because she was the former woman of his elder brother Zi Xianglin. She has withstood unprecedented (Li Qian's) challenges in the film. Although a lot of doubles are used, there are still many shots in person, all kinds of hair pulling, back falling, and glass smashing.
Qiong Yao, who was once held in the palm of everyone's hands, has made arduous efforts for transformation, and has once again been nominated for Best Actress in the Academy Awards.
Lin Qingxia's stand-in was abused even worse. In the scene where she jumped from the top of a 15-meter-high building and fell into the swimming pool, the stand-in was forced to jump twice by Cheng Long, and she resigned the next day. It's no problem for other martial artists to lose their limbs. .
