Synopsis: In Dragon and Phoenix Fight, Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng play a couple of divorced thieves. Both of them have the same personality and interests. They are lovers of precious jewelry and love to steal things to get what they like. Although they still quarrel day and night after their divorce, in fact they still love each other deeply. By chance, Sammi Cheng met Wu Jialong, a European aristocrat. Wu Jialong fell in love with Sammi Cheng at first sight and gave him a family heirloom as a marriage proposal gift. Unexpectedly, this baby was suddenly stolen. Sammi Cheng intuitively decided that Andy Lau was responsible for this case, so he joined forces with the police to seize Andy Lau. In this process, the two men fought wits and braved each other, resulting in more sparks. ...
Thief Tai () is a city celebrity, pursued by Steve (), a rich boy, and took the heirloom as a marriage proposal gift. Ty, a thief obsessed with jewelry, agreed to his proposal.
Steve's mother, Mrs Allen (Hu Yanni), is not an ordinary person. Seeing through that thieves love jewelry more than their own sons, she set strict conditions for thieves to abide by in order to get jewelry. The thief promised on the surface and secretly planned to steal jewelry.
When the thief successfully grabbed the precious jewels with a perfect plan, suddenly a group of people appeared and took the jewels in the same way! This man is the divorced husband of the thief (Andy Lau). The thief knew it was a thief, so he went all the way to Italy to settle accounts with the thief.
When they met for the first time after their divorce, the thief pointed out that the purpose of stealing jewelry was to destroy their marriage. The thief was noncommittal. In fact, he still loves his ex-wife and deliberately wants to stay in the game and steal his wife, asking her to win in exchange for the whereabouts of the jewelry. The thief understood each other's motives and was willing to fight with him.
Mrs Allen lost her family heirloom and was identified as a thief. She sent private detectives to investigate the thief thoroughly, learned about the relationship between the thief and his wife and the fact that they had a criminal record of theft, determined that they were two people, and constantly collected evidence to bring them to justice. At the same time, the insurance company also suspected that Mrs. Allen was suspected of stealing insurance money, and sent someone to investigate Mrs. Allen, but there was no result.
During my stay in Hong Kong. Two people go back to the old road, recalling the days they once walked together, and unconsciously rekindle the old feelings. The thief thought that he would tell the truth when he fell in love with himself again, but he still refused to reveal the whereabouts of the jewelry. The thief can only fabricate a lie that he is terminally ill and force the thief to tell the truth. The thief believes that he is really nervous. The thief asked about the whereabouts of the jewelry, but the thief suddenly claimed that he was terminally ill. The thief challenged the thief and forced him to agree to tell the truth together. The two confessed for the first time since their divorce and revealed the reasons for the divorce.
After many guesses, the thief finally guessed the place where the jewels were hidden. When the thief got the jewelry, he found it was fake, thinking that the thief had cheated himself again and left angrily. As a matter of fact, the thief didn't know whether the jewels were true or not, but he knew that Mrs. Allen was in the way and went door to door looking for the truth.
The thief refused to hand over the jewels, and then went to the thief to continue the game. Unexpectedly, he found that the thief suddenly disappeared mysteriously and arranged to transfer all his property to his own name. The more the thief felt that something was wrong, he began to believe that it was a fact that the thief was terminally ill, and he even suspected that the thief was dead. The thief is too nervous, the love hidden in his heart is out of control, and the thief is too anxious to find each other. Just then, Steve suddenly proposed to the thief again with his second precious jewel. The thief thought that the thief might steal jewelry again and promised to remarry.
The thief spied on Steve's delivery of jewels, and sure enough, he found a man who looked like a thief planning to rob the jewels. The thief followed the figure to the place where the stolen goods were hidden, and saw the second family heirloom that had just been snatched back. The thief was sure that the thief was still alive, but he just played a joke on himself again and suddenly settled down. But the thief was unexpected. In fact, this time is another careful layout of the thief. ...
Du Qifeng, Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng, a group whose popularity exploded two years ago, now it's time for Lao Yan to rival each other. The film is said to be their breakup.
From dazzling jewels to pleasing high-end sports cars, from 200,000 bottles of wine kings to various stock titles, ultra-luxury love seems insignificant under these dazzling appearances. If you love her, give her everything. This declaration of love has been translated into a super rich version in Lao Du's new film. Fans who have been following the trio to appreciate the love of white-collar men and women have completely become addicted to the rich this time. On the other hand, this film is also a love version of the dark war, and finally the role of Andy Lau is pushed to the wall.
Anyway, this movie is a must-see for fans who love the trio. Many times in the film, it is like a feedback from the trio to the fans' favorite. Every plot design is full of the feeling of game, becoming a kind of alienated romance. Moreover, Lao Du seems to be interested in giving himself a phased summary in this film, making the film a "performance" of flowers and plants.
Wonderful point of view:
The film was shot in 2004. Starring Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng, the "golden partners" of Hong Kong film lovers. Andy Lau, the "most diligent artist" who is talked about by the industry and fans, has remained the overlord of the entertainment circle for more than 20 years. The films he starred in are usually good at the box office, and this time Dragon and Phoenix Fight is no exception. This film is one of the top ten Chinese-language blockbuster films of the Hong Kong Film Association in 2004. When Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng were the king of box office, Dragon and Phoenix played an inestimable role. In recent years, the heroine Sammi Cheng holds up half the sky. Her films "Summer Tea", "Girlfriend Life" and "Slimming Men and Women" are well received by young audiences, and they are also quite successful in singing. The frequency of KTV songs on demand can prove what is "widely circulated".
Du Qifeng, the director of Dragon and Phoenix Fight, has been cooperating with Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng, from lonely men and few women, slim men and women to Dragon and Phoenix Fight, creating this pair of screen lovers. Liu and Zheng's romantic comedies are presented to the audience again and again, each time bringing different surprise experiences to the audience. However, for the "Golden Triangle" combination of Qi Feng-Andy Lau-Sammi Cheng in Du Like, this film with an investment of up to HK$ 40 million will be the last film. Everyone said that in the future, the three people will not cooperate in the same movie at the same time, which has become a big selling point for this movie to attract audiences.
Although Dragon and Phoenix Fight is still the old theme of romantic comedies and the routine told to judges, it has a unique way in Du Qifeng. Du Qifeng introduced wits into Dragon and Phoenix Fighting, which put a slightly strange and exaggerated coat on the usual warm and romantic love story, making this love comedy appear mysterious and full of tension. But there is no one-on-one direct conflict and life danger, but under the appearance of fighting each other, the main line of love is set up, and they are drawn closer and closer with a red line. The battle between dragons and phoenixes is more like a game between lovers, with a little more tenderness. The anecdote far away from reality can unexpectedly produce a strong contrast in the movie, so that the old-fashioned love game continues to be full of the freshness of first love.
