"Crossing the theme" can be said to be common for today's audiences.
The routine of crossing is also in the Chinese film and television works, and the film and television directors have played a lot of tricks and created many interesting bridges.
Among them, in the popular "Qing Yu Nian" in 2019, the design of the "sniper rifle" against the "martial arts master" attracted the attention of many viewers.
The collision of "modern weapons" and "martial arts background" can indeed add a lot of fun to the story. However, this kind of interesting "weapon crossing bridge section" is not unique to "Qing Yu Nian".
As early as 1992, Hong Kong TVB planned and filmed a crossover movie of "gun-wielding bandits" vs. "martial arts heroes".
This movie is not only full of interesting stories, but also brings together a number of big celebrities such as Stephen Chow, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Wan Ziliang, Wu Mengda, Zheng Shaoqiu, Liu Songren, Chen Yulian and so on.
In this issue, we will talk about the 1992 luxurious cross-Port film - "Stars Society".
<h1>one</h1>
The reason why this "Stars Society" can bring together such a luxurious lineup is due to the special birth background of the film.
At the end of the 1960s, the TV drama market in Hong Kong began to enter a stage of steady development. At this time, Run Run Shaw, who smelled the market opportunities, joined hands with Li Xiaohe and Qi Dezun to establish TVB.
After entering the 1980s, TVB's development has grown day by day, and it has also cultivated a number of powerful actors such as Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lau, Wong Ri Wah, and Liang Chaowei.
In 1985, Run Run Shaw chose to suspend Shaw's film business and focus all his energy on the television market.
On the occasion of this year's TVB Taiwan celebration, producer Li Tiansheng also joined hands with Du Qifeng, Li Huimin and Xiao Jianzheng to shoot a Taiwan celebration drama - "Yang Jiajun".
The lineup of this "Yang Family General" can be described as extremely luxurious.
The drama has only 6 episodes, but it brings together Andy Lau, Liang Chaowei, Miao Qiaowei, Huang Rihua, Tang Zhenzong, Zhou Runfa, Liu Jialing, Qi Meizhen, Mao Shunjun, Zeng Huaqian, Wang Mingquan, Zhou Haimei, Wu Mengda, Zhao Yazhi, Maggie Cheung, Qin Pei, Wan Ziliang and many other big names.
This "Yang Family General" can be said to have opened the precedent of TVB Taiwan Celebration Drama.
However, after "Yang Jia jiang", TVB did not keep the filming of Taiqing dramas.
After entering the 1990s, the MARKET for TVB grew stronger. In 1992, TVB officially implemented the measure of "shooting Taiwanese dramas every year in Taiqing".
As the real "first year of Taiwanese drama", TVB in 1992 not only filmed two Taiwanese dramas", "Knife of the Wind" and "Big Time", but also specially created a Taiwanese film "Stars".
In the early 1990s, nonsense comedy began to be popular in the Hong Kong film market, and "Stars Society", as a Taiqing film, also embarked on the road of "nonsense comedy".
The film spoofed 7 classic Hong Kong dramas produced by TVB before and after, and also found the original team of the original drama to star. Next, let's talk about the story of "The Stars", and at the same time, talk about the classic Hong Kong dramas that were spoofed by the film.
<h1>two</h1>
At the beginning of the story, the wealthy businessman Mr. Zheng (played by Bao Fang) buys a god with superpowers, the "Nine-Turning Spirit Boy".
In order to prevent the "Nine-Turning Spirit Boy" from being stolen, Mr. Zheng installed a mechanism in his home and hired a large number of bodyguards. However, these measures still did not stop the robbers who wanted to steal the "Nine-Turning Spirit Child".
At night, several well-trained robbers skillfully avoided the organs, killed the guards' bodyguards, and infiltrated Mr. Zheng's mansion, intending to steal the "Nine-Turning Spirit Boy".
Unfortunately, everything has accidents. This night, the thief Ye Xiaojian (played by Xia Yu) and Xiao Bing (played by Zhang Weijian) also sneaked into Mr. Zheng's mansion, intending to steal some valuable things.
As a result, two stupid thieves touched the government in the house, everyone was trapped by the organs, and the bodyguards and robbers also engaged in a gun battle.
In the chaos, Ye Xiaojian stole the "Nine Turning Spirit Boy", and also snatched a pistol from a dead robber, and then took the road and fled.
Xiao Bing, on the other hand, was trapped at the scene and was later caught by the "police" who rushed in.
Ye Xiaojian took a gun and kidnapped taxi driver Arun (played by Wen Zhaolun), and the two drove away from zheng mansion, but on the way, they ran a red light and were stopped by "policewoman" Hou Yingying (played by He Wanying).
In order to get rid of the entanglement, Ye Xiaojian fired a warning shot and successfully created chaos. And he and Aaron also took the opportunity to drive away.
Seeing the two escape, Hou Yingying showed her ID, requisitioned a truck driver's truck, and immediately began to chase. After some pursuit, the three confront each other in a dump.
During the confrontation, Ye Xiaojian's pistol went off fire and hit the "Nine-Turning Spirit Boy", and after a strange flash of light, the three of them traveled through time and space to ancient times.
After arriving in ancient times, the three are captured by a group of Mongol soldiers and meet the leader of the soldiers, Genghis Khan (Wan Ziliang).
The three explain their adventures to Genghis Khan, and genghis Khan, believing that the three were talking nonsense and demagogizing people, decided to behead them for public display.
It is worth mentioning that this story is obviously a parody of the 1987 Hong Kong drama "Genghis Khan" in which Wan Ziliang, Huang Rihua, Guan Lijie and Liu Qingyun cooperated.
And Wan Ziliang and Guan Lijie also reproduced the classic in this bridge section, once again playing the roles of "Genghis Khan" and "Sangkun".
In order to save his life, Aaron and the three of them paid a bribe to Genghis Khan's subordinate "Sangkun" (played by Guan Lijie). Ye Xiaojian took out a pair of sunglasses from his backpack and gave them to Sang Kun.
Sang Kun thought that ye Xiaojian's backpack must have other treasures, so he snatched his backpack and took the pistol in the bag.
After snatching the backpack, Sankun did not mean to let go of the three people.
Fearing being beheaded, Arun pleaded and struggled in front of Sankun, only to accidentally knock over the flame on the table. Seeing that the sacred flame had been overturned and extinguished, Sankun was very angry. To atone for his sins, Aaron quickly took out a lighter and rekindled the flame.
Seeing that Arun could make a fire out of thin air, Sangkun regarded Arun as a messenger of the holy fire, and Arun also rescued Hou Yingying and Ye Xiaojian under the guise of being a "messenger of the holy fire".
After being rescued, the three thought everything was fine. Unexpectedly, the "Messenger of the Holy Fire" was to be sacrificed to the fire god.
Sankun captures Arun and wants to tie him to a pillar and burn him to death in order to sacrifice the fire god. In a critical moment, Hou Yingying burned the tents of the Mongol soldiers, created chaos, and rescued Arun. Ye Xiaojian also took the opportunity to get back his backpack and pistol.
After the disturbance, Sankun sent his men to arrest Aaron and the three of them. Seeing that the three were cornered, a one-armed hero descended from the sky, repelled the Mongol soldiers, and saved the three. This one-armed hero is None other than Yang Guo (played by Andy Lau).
With the appearance of Yang Guo, the story of the film also jumped from the 1987 version of "Genghis Khan" to the 83rd version of Andy Lau and Chen Yulian's "Eagle Hero".
Yang Guo saw that the three people were injured, so he took the three people to the ancient tomb to heal their injuries. In the ancient tomb, Hou Yingying also met Xiaolongnü (played by Chen Yulian) and learned the "Jade Girl Heart Sutra".
Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü were poisoned by love flowers and one by the silver needle of ice, and the two of them, whose lives were short, decided to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff together. And Ye Xiaojian said cleverly, hoping that the two of them would pass on their skills to themselves before they died.
Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü did not want to bury their own desperate learning, so they passed on the merits to Ye Xiaojian.
After the end of the transmission, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü went to the edge of the cliff of the broken intestine, planning to jump off the cliff and commit suicide. At this time, Arun suddenly appeared and spoiled the story after "Eagle Hero", telling the two how to detoxify.
Knowing that they could detoxify, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü also gave up the idea of jumping off the cliff. After helping the two, Arun returned to the tomb and found Ye Xiaojian and Hou Yingying fighting.
Originally, Ye Xiaojian planned to use the "Nine Turning Spirit Boy" to return to modern times alone, but was discovered by Hou Yingying, and the two had an argument and fought.
During the fight, Ye Xiaojian and Hou Yingying's internal skills hit the "Nine Turning Spirit Boy" at the same time, and the door of time and space opened again, and the three of them crossed again.
<h1>three</h1>
With the crossing again, the story from the 1983 version of "Divine Eagle Heroes" to the 1977 "Before and After the Decisive Battle of Lu Xiaofeng" cooperated by Liu Songren and Zheng Shaoqiu.
Ye Gucheng (played by Zheng Shaoqiu) and Ximen Chuixue are fighting at the top of the Forbidden Purple. Aaron and Ye Xiaojian fell from the sky.
When he landed, Ye Xiaojian's pistol accidentally misfired, killing Ximen Chuixue on the spot. Seeing that the situation is not good, Ye Xiaojian takes advantage of the chaos to escape, while Arun and Hou Yingying are stopped by Lu Xiaofeng (played by Liu Songren) and Li Xunhuan (played by Zhu Jiang).
It is different from the previous spoof of "Genghis Khan" and "Condor Heroes". In this "Before and After the Decisive Battle of Lu Xiaofeng", some elements of the 1978 version of "Xiao Li Flying Knife" are also mixed.
And "Lu Xiaofeng" Liu Songren in the 1977 version of "Before and After the Decisive Battle of Lu Xiaofeng", Zheng Shaoqiu of "Ye Gucheng", and "Li Xunhuan" Zhu Jiang in the 1978 version of "Little Li Flying Knife" also participated in the filming of this clip.
Liu Songren and Zheng Shaoqiu, two "heroes and professional households", should be familiar with audiences who love Hong Kong dramas. But for Zhu Jiang, the memory of many viewers may be a little blurry.
In fact, on the big screen of Hong Kong films, Zhu Jiang's figure is also very active. For example, in "Blood And Two Heroes", the "four brothers" who helped Zhou Runfa arrange business; in "Across the Sea", the "police father" of the three protagonists; in Jet Li's version of "Fang Shiyu", Fang Shiyu's father "Fang De".
These are the classic characters created by Zhu Jiang, but many viewers remember Zhu Jiang's face, but they do not remember his name.
Let's go back to the story of the Stars:
Arun and Hou Yingying were stopped by Lu Xiaofeng and Li Xunhuan, and the two explained to everyone that they had traveled through time and space and Ye Xiaojian's pistol had gone off, but everyone could hear the clouds and fog, and they didn't know what the two were talking about.
At this time, Ye Gucheng said that since Ximen Chuixue was dead, he was the winner of the competition and should become the first in the world.
However, Lu Xiaofeng and Li Xunhuan both believed that Arun and Hou Yingying had disrupted the competition, and the result of this time should not be counted. In order to serve the public, Ye Gucheng asked Lu Xiaofeng and Li Xunhuan to find another master, and after three days, they would have another contest.
After Ye Gucheng left the palace, he met with several of his subordinates. During the conversation, Ye Gucheng said that he wanted to kill the emperor and replace him, but was overheard by Ye Xiaojian, who was hiding aside.
Ye Xiaojian's whereabouts were discovered by Ye Gucheng, who wanted to extinguish his mouth, but As a result, Ye Xiaojian raised his hand and shot him, injuring Ye Gucheng's arm.
Seeing that Ye Xiaojian's "dark weapon" was so powerful, Ye Gucheng immediately confessed and revealed a respectful face, wanting to win Ye Xiaojian over and help him complete his great cause.
In the face of the money and beauty given by Ye Gucheng, Ye Xiao resolutely decided to turn to Ye Gucheng.
The flowers bloom in two, one on each side. Ye Gucheng wooed Ye Xiaojian, full of joy. However, Lu Xiaofeng and Li Xunhuan frowned because they could not find a master to fight.
Li Xunhuan proposed that Hou Yingying and Arun fight in Ye Lonely City, and said that the appearance and personality of Hou Yingying and Arun were like the "murderous Mandarin Duck" Liu couple who were said in the jianghu.
Lu Xiaofeng agreed to Li Xunhuan's proposal, but he said that Arun and Hou Yingying were more like "rainbow mothers-in-law" and "not big" in the jianghu.
Seeing that Li Xunhuan and Lu Xiaofeng were arguing endlessly, Arun and Hou Yingying agreed to the request to fight in Ye Lonely City.
In order to stop the quarrel between Li and Lu, Arun said that the real identities of himself and Hou Yingying are actually the jade and pearl double heroes known as "TVB" on the rivers and lakes.
When the day of the contest arrived, Ye Gucheng injured his arm and asked Ye Xiaojian to fight instead of himself.
Ye Xiaojian took out a gun and tried to hurt people with a dark arrow, but was seen through by Li Xunhuan. Li Xunhuan used the "Little Li Flying Knife" to preemptively strike and knock out the pistol in Ye Xiaojian's hand.
Ye Gucheng took the opportunity to pick up the pistol, wanting to use this hidden weapon to kill everyone present.
Unfortunately, although Ye Gucheng got the gun, he wouldn't use it. In the end, with the joint efforts of everyone, Ye Gucheng was killed, and Ye Xiaojian was captured by Arun and Hou Yingying.
Arun and Hou Yingying launched the "Nine Turning Spirit Boys" and took Ye Xiaojian with them through time and space. Since then, in Gu Long's martial arts world, there has also been a pair of chivalrous couples known as "TVB".

After the passage of time, Arun and Hou Yingying found that they did not return to the modern era, but came to the story of "Gestapo", landed in "Duan Gumu Xinfu", and also met the protagonist of "Gestapo", "Duan Fei" played by Zhou Xingchi.
Seeing that Duan Fei's family had a wealth of wealth, Ye Xiaojian was greedy. He kidnapped Duan Fei with a gun and wanted to obtain Duan Fu's family property. As a result, the "First Warrior" (played by Wu Mengda) suddenly arrived, and when Ye Xiaojian was distracted, Duan Fei broke free of the shackles and snatched Ye Xiaojian's gun.
With the skills taught by Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü, Ye Xiaojian and Duan Fei fought. After a fight, Ye Xiaojian fled the scene, while Arun and Hou Yingying were also injured in the fight and stayed in Duanfu to rest.
During Duan Fu's recuperation, Duan Fei developed a crush on Hou Yingying, but seeing that Hou Yingying and Arun had a close relationship, Duan Fei couldn't help but be disappointed.
Ye Xiaojian, who escaped, returned to Duan Mansion to steal the "Nine Turning Spirit Boy" and "Pistol", only to be discovered by Hou Yingying and Arun.
During the fight, Ye Xiaojian and Hou Yingying inadvertently drove the "Nine Turning Spirit Boy" and left through time and space, while Arun was injured by Ye Xiaojian and remained in the world of "Gestapo".
After Ye Xiaojian and Hou Yingying left, Duan Fei rescued Arun. Arun said that Hou Yingying was taken away by Ye Xiaojian, and in order to travel through time and space to save her, it is necessary to have a "nine-turn spirit child".
Coincidentally, Duan Fei's family had a "Nine-Turn Spirit Child". At this time, Arun knew that the original real "Gestapo" Duan Fei had died, and now this Duan Gongzi was Duan Fei's son Duan Xiaofei.
Duan Fei gave Arun the "Nine-Turning Spirit Boy" in his family, and at the same time passed on his own skills to Arun.
Aaron urged the internal force, activated the "Nine Turning Spirit Child", and crossed again. This time, he came to the world of the 1981 edition of Rogue Emperor.
In this world, Arun found that Ye Xiaojian had become the "emperor" and wanted to marry Hou Yingying as an empress.
In order to rescue Hou Yingying, Arun found the protagonist of the story, "Rogue Emperor" Zhu Jinchun (played by Zheng Shaoqiu), to help.
Zhu Jinchun told Arun that he was just a stand-in for Puyi, and the real Puyi was caught by Ye Xiaojian. If you want to stop Ye Xiaojian, you must rescue Puyi.
Using the skills taught by Duan Fei, Arun rescued Puyi and Hou Yingying, and also exposed Ye Xiaojian's plot.
Ye Xiaojian wanted to fight to the death, but was defeated by Arun and Hou Yingying, and his skills were abolished. Puyi ordered Ye Xiaojian to become a eunuch and be detained in the palace.
Arun and Hou Yingying took the opportunity to take back the "Nine Turning Spirit Boy" and crossed it again.
Arun and Hou Yingying crossed again, and after landing, the two found that the "Nine-Turning Spirit Boy" fell to the ground and shattered.
At this time, a man in costume chased a group of displaced people. Aaron stepped forward and engaged the man, only to injure him.
A director-like man came out and stopped Aaron. At this time, Aaron realized that he had returned to the modern era, which was the filming scene of the crew of "The Wind Knife".
Hou Yingying found that the man who had just been injured by Aaron seemed to be Aaron Kwok.
It turned out that this man was Aaron Kwok. The arrogant Guo Tianwang said that he could have given Arun and Hou Yingying a signature each, but now he was beaten, so he decided not to sign for the two.
With the return of Aaron and Hou Yingying to modern times, the story of this "Stars Society" has officially come to an end.
<h1>five</h1>
In this "Society of stars", director Li Lizhi successively spoofed the 1987 version of "Genghis Khan", the 1983 version of "Eagle Hero", the 1977 version of "Before and After the Decisive Battle of Lu Xiaofeng", the 1978 version of "Little Li Flying Knife", the 1989 version of "Gestapo", the 1981 version of "Rogue Emperor", and the 1992 TVB Taiwan Celebration drama "Wind Knife".
While spoofing these 7 Hong Kong drama works, TVB also invited the actor in the original version to return.
Andy Lau, Chen Yulian, Zhou Xingchi, Wu Mengda, Aaron Kwok, Zheng Shaoqiu, Wan Ziliang, Liu Songren, Zhu Jiang and others gathered to form a star lineup, which also created the title of the film - "The Stars Society".
Zhou Runfa is also a big coffee coming out of TVB, when this "Stars Society" was filmed, TVB intended to invite Fa Ge to come and make a cameo, but because of scheduling problems, he failed to do so.
Although Fa Ge did not star, this "Stars Society" did not forget to spoof Fa Ge's classic role.
At the beginning of the movie, Hou Yingying requisitioned the truck of a truck driver, and this driver is called "A Wolf", and when this "Ah Wolf" appears, he also brings a BGM - "Love 1990".
Not only at the beginning, when Arun, Hou Yingying, and Ye Xiaojian crossed for the first time, in order to save their lives, Ye Xiaojian gave sunglasses to Sangkun.
And when Sankun put on his sunglasses, the movie also sounded the exclusive BGM of "Little Brother Ma" in "Hero's Nature" - "Mark's Theme".
In addition to the starring cast of the stars shining, many dragon set characters in the film also brought a lot of surprises to the audience.
For example, at the beginning of the movie, Lin Jiadong, who served as a "bodyguard" for Mr. Zheng, Luo Jialiang, the "minister" in the "Rogue Emperor" clip, and Huang Yifei, the "father-in-law" in "Gestapo".
1992 was a magical year for Hong Kong cinema. This year, TVB organized the filming of this star-studded "Stars Society", and Jiahe also planned and filmed the "Double Dragon Society" where big coffee gathered.
These two luxurious works have also become a microcosm of the glorious period of Hong Kong films. After 1995, the Hong Kong film market gradually declined.
The luxurious lineup of "Stars Society" and "Double Dragon Society" have also become many Hong Kong film fans, for the screen memories of an era.
