When it comes to domestic spy movies, we can't help mentioning the classic Zhongnanhai Bodyguard starring Jet Li. In this action blockbuster with a budget of more than 20 million yuan in 1994, although it has an artistic exaggeration, it reveals the tip of the iceberg of the work and life of these special workers for us, and satisfies the audience's voyeurism. In particular, the hard line martial arts action and the style different from Jackie Chan's and Lee Soo hyun's movies have made it widely recognized within a certain range. The director of this film is Yuan Kui, one of the "Seven Little Blessings".
In the twinkling of an eye, 22 years later, the original Zhongnanhai bodyguard was old enough to retire. So, what is the life of Zhongnanhai bodyguards after retirement? This "My Secret Service Grandfather" starred by Yuan Kui's senior brother and Hong Jinbao, who is also the "Seven Little Blessings", shows us the happy life of a retired "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard".
Seeing the shadow of Hong Jinbao from the precious photos of Nixon's visit to China at the beginning of the film has set the tone for the film to show the life of retired Zhongnanhai bodyguards. Because of this, the film chose Suifenhe, a secluded town, as the shooting place. It makes a sharp contrast between the hustle and bustle of metropolis Beijing and the tranquility of small cities. From the tense work to the leisurely life now, especially the "passing trio" led by Tsui Hark and Mai Jia, it is the epitome of this boring and leisurely life after retirement.
Suifenhe is located at the border between China and Russia, and its unique geographical location adds complex conflicts to the film. Foreign gangs, local hooligans, retired secret service grandfathers and little girls left behind by their fathers who ran away from home, the three parties that could not be hit by the eight poles were connected by a leather bag. Among them, some of the needle tip fights against Mai Mang were even more wonderful. Moreover, the most valuable thing is that without any legendary interpretation, fighting is closer to reality, and even his own round and fat body has become a "big weapon", which makes people feel shocked and excited.
Of course, this movie is not a strictly pure action movie, on the contrary, it is very life oriented. It uses a lot of space to show the simple and simple life of Hong Jinbao, a retired Zhongnanhai bodyguard who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. The first thing is to face the ubiquitous sexual harassment of the spicy landlady, Fairy Park. It is not only cooking but also chattering. If there is any difficulty, it will appear immediately, and Hong Jinbao will be his wife. Li Qinqin's performance added a lot of color to the character "Fairy Park", and also contributed the most relaxed and pleasant paragraphs, adding comedy to the film.
As for when Hung Jinbao and the little girl were together, it was nothing more than fishing, eating ice cream, cooking and eating... It was all more life like segments. Let the audience feel that as an old person, they are extremely eager to enjoy the happiness of family. The rhythm of the small bridge and flowing water forms a sharp contrast with the intense fighting drama, which makes the film feel relaxed and relaxed as a whole, with the inner strength hidden in the simplicity. Everything is well paved in the simple plot.
After leaving the center of the storm, the life of an old spy is nothing more than raising flowers and plants, finding an old partner, chatting with his brothers, flirting with his aunt when he has nothing to do, and all kinds of relatives and descendants enjoying family happiness together. But the appearance of the little girl aroused his passion and occupational disease like protective desire. When he tried to chase the bad guys, it was totally subconscious behavior for him whose memory had declined. However, the movie tells us that it is never too late to try again when you are old, gray, sleepy and unable to walk!
In the end, it's still those famous beautiful sister pigs without PS trace!
