Wu Xihao, the prototype of Lame Hao: If you shoot me, it will be more realistic. Real bosses don't rob goods.

In 1990s, Hong Kong films reached an unprecedented peak, during which many groundbreaking classic films appeared. Lame Howe is one of the most representative works, and its appearance marks the maturity of commercial films in Hong Kong. The film was written by Johnny Mak, directed by Pan Wenjie and co-starred by Lv Liangwei, Zheng Zeshi and Ceng Jiang. Based on the life experience of Wu Xihao, the leader of drug trafficking group and Yiqun in 1960s and 1970s, the landscape of the old Xiangjiang River was visualized.

As the producer of this film, Johnny Mak also apologized for the release of this film to Wu Xihao's house. Before the film started, Wu Xihao made it clear that some clips could not be filmed, but they still appeared in the film. Therefore, under the recommendation of Man Kam Tong (the third death row inmate who can be released on parole in the history of Stanley Prison, nicknamed "Datouwen"), Johnny Mak specially gave Wu Xihao a 500,000 red envelope, and was also accused by Wu Xihao on the spot: "If you want to shoot me, you will really shoot me, saying that I am. Lv Liangwei doesn't behave like me at all.

Later, director Jing Wong re-launched the lame Hao, and together with Donnie Yen, Andy Lau and Zheng Zeshi, he created "Chasing the Dragon", which was well received at the box office, but it was still a little worse than the lame Hao in Lv Liangwei. The story of "Chasing the Dragon" is more in line with the tastes of mainland audience friends, while "Crippled Hao" is more realistic as a biographical film, and its characterization is more three-dimensional.

Wu Xihao was born in Shantou, Guangdong. 1930 was born, not catching up with the good times. In the 1960s, his family immigrated to Hong Kong. Immigration, to put it mildly, is actually going to Hong Kong to escape. Wu Xihao, who has just arrived in Hong Kong, is humble and has no connections. Wu Xihao first opened a gambling stall in Shek Kip Mei. After earning the first bucket of gold, he began to have certain funds and contacts. At this moment, Wu Xihao got to know Lv Le, one of the four greatest detectives in Hong Kong, a key figure who changed his life, and set foot in the drug business.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Wu Xihao trafficked more than 30 tons of drugs in Hong Kong. With the drug business, Wu Xihao's worth doubled and once fell into four major families in Hong Kong. And Wu Xihao is a famous underworld in Hong Kong. At that time, there were four big gangs in Hong Kong, and Wu Xihao was one of them. Gangs in Hong Kong have four factions: Fourteen K, Harmonious Victory, Big Four and Chaozhou Gang, among which Chaozhou Gang has several branches such as Yi Xin 'an, Fu Yi 'an, Yiqun and Zunyi, and Wu Xihao is the leader of Yiqun.

Wu Xihao's success is inseparable from his daring to fight and kill, and he is a fearless Lord. When Wu Xihao was a younger brother, he dared to fight and kill. Later, he became the boss by drug trafficking. From then on, he was more fearless. At the same time, Wu Xihao is aggressive and never afraid. From a humble person at the bottom of society to a legendary boss, his life is very difficult. However, Wu Xihao was wrong in drug trafficking, and his good days did not last long. In the late 1970s, Hong Kong established the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and the good days of Wu Xihao and Lv Le ended. Lu Leren said that inspector 500 million was very influential in Hong Kong at that time, and eventually Lv Le died in Canada. Wu Xihao, the drug Lord, came to no good end. Sentenced by Hong Kong police 124 years. 199 1 year, Wu Xihao was pardoned for suffering from liver cancer. But Wu Xihao didn't really get out of prison, and he died half a month later. Wu Xihao's death will leave a mark on the history of Hong Kong, but history may not give him a good evaluation.

The story of Lame Hao is based on the re-creation of real history. Four families and four detectives have become dramatic characters in the film, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Ye Zimei and Wu Qihua, the golden combination, became the contradiction maker in the film. Many frictions between Lame Hao and Fat Cat were caused by these two people, and they also contributed a lot of interesting shots together.

Johnny Mak and Pan Wenjie's grasp of proper limit and scale is just right, which makes the entertainment of the film quite outstanding. Therefore, Lame Hao earned HK$ 38.7 million in the Hong Kong film market that year, and won the 1 1 Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Screenplay and Best Film.

Lv Liangwei became a capable professional with his excellent acting skills. 1993, Johnny Mak co-screenwriter Xiao Ruoyuan directed Pan Wenjie, and made two classic lean films, The Emperor of Shanghai in Time and The Emperor of Shanghai Dominates the World, with Lv Liangwei, Zheng Zeshi, Xu Jinjiang and Cecilia Yip in Limp Hao, both of which achieved good results. An interesting thing happened when lame Hao was released. When the film was released, the prototype Wu Xihao had been in prison for 16 years. Even a bold man like Johnny Mak had to apologize at the beginning of the film, which showed that Wu Xihao was still alive. Although numerous works followed the trend, until 20 17, Jing Wong also made a turnaround work "Chasing the Dragon", but compared with "Lame Hao", the gap is still obvious.
