When I watched The True Color of Heroes before, I was always attracted and shocked by its blood and lofty sentiments, but there were still some questions, such as who betrayed Song Zihao and turned his brother against him and put him in prison. And how could Mark, who had a great scenery before, be as poor as a street beggar because of a lame leg?
One of the most puzzling is who framed A Hao. From the beginning of the film, we can see that Song Zihao is very famous in the underworld. He is loyal, loyal, and won the trust and respect of his eldest brother Yao Shu.
Then, when Hao took A Cheng to Taiwan Province Province for a deal, something was wrong. The contact person is not Lao Wang, whom he is familiar with, but Xiao Wang, the nephew of Lao Wang. Years of licking blood with the blade made Qin Hao as sharp as a beast. And the development of the situation is just as predicted by A Hao. Xiao Wang is not a kind person. After a fierce struggle, A Hao was finally caught by the police and put in prison.
Xiao Wang's black eating black, under the elaboration of Lao Wang and Ma Xiao, we also know the reason. It turned out that Xiao Wang colluded with new forces in Hong Kong in order to seize power with his uncle Lao Wang, which led to Ahao's imprisonment.
Who is this new force in Hong Kong? At that time, we will be the first to exclude Yao Shu from the suspect. There is a simple reason. First, Yao Shu is not young, and certainly not synonymous with new forces. Second, he and A Hao get along very closely and feel like father and son. Even Ah Hao called him Uncle Yao, so no matter what you think of Uncle Yao, he is a loyal elder and will never be the one who can harm A Hao.
Then we rule out the suspect's pony. Although the pony plays everywhere, it is like Ahao's brother. After A Hao's accident, Ma Xiao was the first person who rushed out to speak for A Hao. He single-handedly rushed into the enemy's lair like a ranger, went in and out several times, and only killed the upstart Xiao Wang and his enemies in Taiwan Province Province.
I saw him with a beautiful face in his hand, dancing, wearing a trench coat, extremely natural and unrestrained, singing and dancing lightly, and inadvertently hiding a sword and gun. This passage has also become one of the most classic scenes of Mark in The True Color of Heroes.
Of course, in the end, with the development of the story, we all know that the so-called Xingang power in Xiao Wang's mouth is Acheng who is pure and lovely in appearance but dark in heart.
But there is a problem, that is, although Cheng came to power later, he is still very influential in the organization. But at that time, Cheng was still a nobody. He is not even a follower of Hao. Even if he has Tigerheart, he has no strength and qualification to hook up with Wang. After all, although Xiao Wang is vicious and treacherous, he is the nephew of Lao Wang, and his power has innate advantages, while Cheng Can can only be regarded as a third-class follower. Even if he plays tricks, what capital does Xiao Wang have to trust him?
Therefore, when Acheng, who is ill-intentioned, is with him and sweetly shouts "Brother Hao, Brother Marco", he can't stand out on his own. He can only rely on a big tree, whose foundation is at least not lower than that of Song Zihao, or even deeper.
And around A Hao and A Cheng, the big tree that can produce interest disputes is none other than the honest elder Yao Shu we mentioned earlier.
As the actual controller of the gang, Yao Shu has been hiding behind the scenes and is active around the main force of Ahao and other societies as an elder. He doesn't appear many times, but every time he appears, he is kind-hearted and smiling. He smiled and cared about the lives of his subordinates and kindly encouraged the growth of young people. For a moment, people seem to forget that this kind old man who looks like an uncle is actually the boss behind a criminal organization. And how can a person who can do his position be a soft-hearted person?
At the end of the film, Yao Shu had a language conflict with Acheng, and it is not difficult to find some clues.
At this time, A Hao has just been released from prison, and his years of bitter and happy life have faded away. Because of his father's sudden death and his brother's ruthless hostility to him, this once powerful gangster decided to repent and completely stay away from his past life.
But he deliberately didn't ask the Jianghu, but the Jianghu didn't spare him. A Cheng's malicious invitation, Pony's predicament and distrust from the police all push Hao Ge into the whirlpool of rivers and lakes step by step.
After many twists and turns, Hao Gehe finally got the evidence of Cheng's criminal group. Before that, I had been hiding behind the scenes. It seems that this honest and kind boss Yao Shu can't sit still at last. He pointed to Cheng's nose and shouted, "You bastard, I told you not to play too hard. If A Hao gives the tape to the police, not only will the business and organization be finished, but we will all be finished. I really regret using you wrong. "
The boss Yao Shu was furious, but Cheng didn't see the slightest fear. He said slowly, "Don't be an asshole. Don't forget that you lifted me up, so let's die together. "
Yes, it can be seen from here that Yao Shu knows what Acheng did, but he just warned Acheng not to get burned. As can be seen from Acheng's answer, Yao Shu, as the eldest brother and elder, still chose to support Acheng, even though Acheng had no moral integrity. The causal relationship between them is really intriguing.
And this intriguing can also draw a conclusion, that is, our protagonist, A Hao's painful experience, if not from Yao Shu's personal planning, is also carried out under his instigation and acquiescence.
Having said that, we have a question, that is, why did Yao Shu deal with his "Minister of Humerus" Song Zihao? There's no reason to watch it anyway. I clearly showed such trust in A Hao before. And compared with A Hao's loyalty and Yao Shu's easy belief in other people's characteristics, A Cheng, who is eager to get ahead by hook or by crook, is more difficult to control. Isn't it easy to get stabbed by throwing away dolls and picking up hedgehogs?
Yes, A Hao values friendship and loyalty, which is easy to control, which is known to most people, not to mention a wily charlatan. But Yao Shu had to make a choice for a reason. That is, A Hao has decided that his trip to Taiwan Province Province is his last deal, and then he will quit the Jianghu for his family.
Anyone who has seen Hong Kong gangster movies is familiar with the saying, "Jianghu people are pawns crossing the river, and the Jianghu road is a point of no return". When you step into this underground vanity fair, quitting cleanly is tantamount to dreaming.
In Yao Shu's view, although Song Zihao is an excellent money-making tool and an ideal partner, he is too involved in the internal affairs of the organization, so it is totally unsafe for him to let him go. This unstable factor, in particular, was magnified several times because of the appearance of A Hao's younger brother, Song Zijie, who just graduated from the police academy.
Giving up Song Zihao is Yao Shu's last choice. But without Song Zihao, I still need a tool to make money. At this time, Acheng, who was immature and eager to get ahead, entered Yao Shu's sight. After weighing several times, Yao Shu chose a process that he thought could be controlled as a substitute for A Hao. So, when A Hao decided to go to Taiwan Province Province alone, Yao Shu strongly recommended Acheng to A Hao.
Although it turns out that Yao Shu is not only blind, but also blind. I thought I was wily, cut off dissidents, cultivate new people, kill two birds with one stone, but in the end I raised a tiger as a menace. Finally remembered the kindness of Kibaki, fantasized about having dinner with A Hao and talking about the past, but it was too late, and finally died at Qin's hands.
On the other hand, with Yao Shu's support, Acheng also has a bargaining chip with Wang, and the result of the negotiation is abandoned. In Yao Shu's view, he has always been a traitor. In the attitude of Yao Shu's instigation or acquiescence, several forces played a silent ball, woven a big bag, and watched Song Zihao get into it unconsciously.
In the end, Song Zihao relied on his own acumen to avoid being killed, but he didn't escape from prison. Knowing nothing about everything, he stuck to his Jianghu principles, shouldered all the charges and went to prison alone. However, because his father was killed by his troubler, his past was exposed to his younger brother Ajie, who had trusted him, and his strong brotherhood was shattered and his family was ruined. In fact, Song Zihao has been defeated.
Until a few years later, Song Zihao, who regained his freedom, returned to Hongkong and met a lame pony, because he stood up for himself. Song Zihao clearly remembers that when he left Hongkong, he made it clear that he hoped Ma Xiao would take his place. Therefore, Song Zihao was very surprised at this pony that looked like a beggar.
This also led to another confusion of Ducker at that time. Pony is calm, loyal, skilled and proficient in business. He is famous for his lame leg, so he works for the club. Why did he become like that, because of a leg? Definitely not.
I used to think that the protagonist was Pony, and he and Song Zihao were also partners. It turned out that it wasn't like that at all. At first, The True Color of Heroes simply referred to the Song brothers, but Mark was so brilliant that he abruptly changed from the third protagonist to the first protagonist. Moreover, the relationship between Pony and Ahao is not a simple partnership, but a superior-subordinate relationship. To put it simply, Pony is just a favorite of Brother Hao.
But it is obvious that Song Zihao has been put into a pocket and thrown away as garbage, which has not attracted people's attention. Big brother is in trouble, and it's pony's turn to take the position according to seniority. In addition, A Hao had made it clear that he hoped Pony would take over. What's more, Xiaoma avenged his eldest brother, and once went into the den of the tiger alone, leaving a story in the Jianghu. In a word, it should be a pony, not a ride.
Yes, as we said before, there is a hidden secret. With the cooperation of several interests, Acheng's superior position is natural. After all, no matter how high your credit is, it's not worth trading in secret.
Besides, the pony belongs to Ahao. They used to be brothers. Therefore, neither Cheng nor Yao Shu dare to let Pony have too much power here, so as not to increase his risk factor. Then don't send brother Hao away, but take over a brother Ma. It won't lose money.
So everyone in the Jianghu knows about Pony's bloody revenge, and everyone applauds. But if you are injured, you must rest, right? It will take at least six months to recover, right? Half a year's time is enough to reshuffle and cultivate your own power. When King Mark came back, he found that things had changed, and it was estimated that even the mice could not command them.
But it's just that the pony doesn't have an upper position. How did this happen? This has to start with the pony's character. With Brother Hao around, Pony is only responsible for everything, and doesn't need to control the overall situation, so he has developed a game between people and a happy attitude towards life. But the pony smiled, but he was not confused. He doesn't like cheng. From the sentence that he joked that Cheng was "like a little godfather", he knew that Cheng was very pretentious. It's hard to say whether this suit is cool or simple.
And Hao Ge went to prison, his leg was broken, A Cheng was in charge, and Yao Shu was silent. Everything the pony saw in his eyes. As the last paragraph said, he is not confused, and he goes unnoticed. Pony is not a ghost, naturally it is impossible to know what the truth is, but it doesn't mean that you can't see the problem here. Pony is not a big brother, but he doesn't rub sand in his eyes. Compared with Song Zihao's composure and sophistication, he has always been used to doing whatever he wants. It is natural that such a pony's position in the club controlled by Acheng is getting worse and worse, and it is gradually marginalized.
A few years later, Pony ran into Ahao who returned to Hong Kong in the street. The two former gangsters looked at each other, but they were speechless. A Hao, who just came out of the bitter kiln, never imagined that his closest brother had become this ghost. Without the care of his eldest brother, the pony was lame, his heart died, and he became a stinking beggar.
But both of them cry, but in fact they cry in different ways. A Hao is crying for their hardships and future prospects. However, it made the pony cry and rekindle hope, because the reappearance of Hao Ge made him seem to see their high-spirited Jianghu years.
But to Pony's surprise, Hao Ge, who was already disheartened, rejected his proposal to return to Jianghu. So when Mark roared out the world-famous line "I waited for three years, just waiting for an opportunity", his heart was actually very desperate, and his beliefs, whether moral or brotherhood, had been shaken. His last scene was not as simple as "fighting for breath and proving his greatness", but a lonely sunset warrior who died without hesitation.
As we all know, Yao Shu is a loyal and resourceful gang leader. He is the chief culprit in framing Song Zihao and the behind-the-scenes pusher of the tragedy in the Gospel of Kyle. But are the tragedies in A Hao and Ma Xiao really entirely caused by Yao Shu?
The answer will not be unique. In the past, Hong Kong movies, especially Hong Kong gangster movies, always liked to use causality and fate to shape the overall structure of the story. It's the same as a hero. Everyone in the movie has to taste the fruit for their own reasons. No matter how hard they struggle, they can't escape their fate.
Just like Yao Shu, he wanted to abandon A Hao to reduce his risk, but in the end he died in the hands of people who helped him personally. His self-help turned into suicide in disguise.
The same is true of A Hao and Ma Xiao. At the beginning, no matter what the reason, they have decided that they will be doomed in the end. Just like a pony who didn't want to control his own life and death, A Hao's hope of getting away with it when he earned a lot of money was all lost, which not only caused irreparable trauma to his family, but also escaped the trial of fate and went to a flashing warning light.
