The match between Ceng Zhiwei and Huang Qiusheng in the police station is a classic. Ceng Zhiwei ate his lunch box and threw it all over the floor. A simple action shows the domineering of the big boss. In our impression, the mob boss is so rich that he should eat delicacies. Even if it's not delicacies, he should find a decent and slightly upscale restaurant to eat, instead of eating the cheapest box lunch like the youngest brother at the bottom or ordinary white-collar workers.
In fact, many gangster movies are actually based on real events. In fact, the standard of living at that time was very ordinary. Many gangsters who choose to join are hooligans and students. So in order to conform to the actual situation of the society at that time, we will see that many gang leaders like cheap lunch boxes very much.
The rise of fast food in Hong Kong is in a period of rapid development, just in time for the rise of foam lunch boxes. Therefore, the fast food industry is rapidly popularized, and it is more likely to operate on a large scale. At that time, the food stalls in Hong Kong ushered in a blowout, and the so-called "food stalls", "food stalls" and "packaging" were often heard in Hong Kong films. The two hit it off, and in the 1980s and 1990s, even when Hong Kong films have spread to this day, there will be many scenes of eating lunch boxes at food stalls and ordering take-away fast food. At that time, Hong Kong films were represented by gangster films. These are the special manifestations of that era.
Good quality and low price We only see that the price of box lunch is not expensive, but we ignore the most important thing of box lunch, that is, its taste. The box lunch in Hong Kong is really affordable and delicious. Most of the box lunches we ate in the mainland were green vegetables, and basically we didn't see much meat, and the taste was very weak, but Hong Kong gave us a lot of meat, and the variety was quite rich.
In the final analysis, it is also for performance. The performance is not as simple as everyone thinks. In order to increase the contrast of the characters and make the image of this character more three-dimensional, in everyone's impression, since he is a gangster, he must be rich. Their money is not the right way, but also very chic, and they don't feel bad when they squander it.
Although eating some big meals is really in line with their status, there is nothing to see in movies if they are all performed like this. In order to set off the image of the role, they can do something seemingly impossible with their own identity to highlight the role more.
