《The Deadly Beauty》Plot introduction

The movie I would like to recommend to you today is also the movie《The Beauty of Death》. The actors' appearance and acting skills in this drama are also quite good, especially the plot introduction of "The Beauty of Death--" I believe everyone is full of doubts about this topic., let the editor take everyone to take a look.I hope those who have read this will like this article.

《Beautiful Lady》is very much in the style of the golden age of Hong Kong films. Although it was released in 1987, it lives up to the saying: There is nothing new under the sun.

The director of this film, Sun Chung, was one of the most talented directors of Shaw Brothers at that time and was often compared with Chang Cheh.

He is good at creating a suspenseful atmosphere and is known as the Master of Tension in the circle.

In the early 1980s, movies were gradually declining, and Brigitte Lin chose to develop in the Hong Kong film industry.

Brigitte Lin, who just entered the Hong Kong film industry, has starred in New Shushan Swordsman, Police Story, and Dream Man, but these male-themed movies did not give her much room for performance..

The female-themed movie - Daoma Dan - unexpectedly earned Brigitte Lin a lot of praise and also achieved good box office results.

So - New Art City - decided to make another female-themed movie for Brigitte Lin, this one - The Deadly Beauty -.

Brigitte Lin tried a disfigured look for the first time in "The Beauty of the Dead", subverting the previous image of beauty and conquering the audience with her acting skills.

Tony Leung Ka Fai plays Brigitte Lin's husband Chen Jiansheng in the film. Since Chen Jiansheng is a villain, there was no suitable candidate at first.

The high-ranking celebrity was unwilling to act, but the number of willing actors was not high enough to play opposite Brigitte Lin. Director Sun Chung finally decided to find Tony Leung Ka-fai.

In terms of strength, Tony Leung Ka Fai - the golden actor - is no worse than Jackie Chan or Chow Yun-fat.

《The Deadly Beauty》is not only Tony Leung Ka Fai's first villain role, but also his comeback after being banned.

He lived up to expectations and successfully portrayed the heartless scumbag Chen Jiansheng in the film.

Let’s talk about movies.

Liang Meifeng (played by Brigitte Lin) and Chen Jiansheng (played by Tony Leung Ka Fai) were originally an ordinary couple, just like the epitome of thousands of families in the world.

A working-class family with one child and a family of three living a not luxurious but happy life.

Chen Jiansheng was unwilling to live such a life. Although he was just a small employee in a construction company, he wanted to make a difference.

However, he has an impulsive personality and is very ambitious in doing things, which is destined to make it difficult for him to achieve anything.

Chen Jiansheng wanted to have a chance at the gambling table, but he owed hundreds of thousands in gambling debt.

Brigitte Lin changed her past beauty image and played the role of Liang Meifeng, an accountant in a clothing factory in this movie.

From appearance to personality, he is an ordinary person who can be seen everywhere, which makes people feel more friendly.

In order to help her husband Chen Jiansheng pay off his gambling debts, Liang Meifeng secretly embezzled 500,000 public funds.

I want to borrow money and fill it in secretly before I am discovered at the end of the month.

Unexpectedly, although Chen Jiansheng used the public funds to pay off his previous gambling debts, he couldn't help but sit at the gambling table and owed a huge debt again in one night.

Meifeng almost collapsed when she heard that Chen Jiansheng owed loan sharks again.

Not only can’t he make up for the public funds he misappropriated, but now he has another debt.

At this time, the grudge between Meifeng's father and this visiting son-in-law also broke out. He had long seen that Chen Jiansheng was ambitious but incompetent, and smart but had bad conduct.

In order to make up for the public funds embezzled by Meifeng, Chen Jiansheng and Liang Meifeng went to Thailand to borrow money from distant relatives.

But Chen Jiansheng not only failed to borrow the money, but also suffered a setback and was ridiculed by his relatives.

On the ship back to Hong Kong, Meifeng was weak due to seasickness, but she still managed to support herself and went to the deck to look for Chen Jiansheng, fearing that he would not think of committing suicide by jumping into the sea.

Chen Jiansheng really wanted to commit suicide. Meifeng hurriedly wanted to step forward and grab him, but unexpectedly she fell into the sea while being pulled.

At the critical moment of life and death, Chen Jiansheng grabbed Meifeng's hand.

Shocked and frightened, Meifeng cried and begged Chen Jiansheng to pull her onto the boat.

Just when Meifeng's life was hanging by a thread, Chen Jiansheng suddenly thought:

If Liang Meifeng dies, the misappropriation of public funds can be completely blamed on her. Anyway, there will be no proof.

So, the cruel Chen Jiansheng let go and watched Meifeng being swallowed up by the raging waves.

Just like He Fei in "She Disappeared", Chen Jiansheng also pretended to be anxious and concerned in front of the police, constantly emphasizing that his wife had fallen into the sea and asked the police to search and rescue her.

However, Meifeng just disappeared into the sea, and everyone thought that Meifeng had been killed.

When her embezzlement of public funds was exposed, her former bosses and colleagues thought she had committed suicide out of fear of crime.

Only my best friend Shanshan doesn't believe that Meifeng committed suicide.

After Chen Jiansheng killed his wife, he became increasingly unscrupulous and ambitious.

At the company meeting, he made surprising remarks despite his low position.On the surface, he is criticizing his colleagues, but in reality he is currying favor with the leader.

Chen Jiansheng quickly gained the attention of his boss. Not only was he promoted, he also fell in love with the boss's daughter.

On the other side, Liang Meifeng, who fell into the sea, was rescued by a Vietnamese ship.

Although he survived the disaster, his face was cut and disfigured when he fell into the sea, and his throat was so injured that he could not speak and could only make a hoarse voice.

When she stumbled back to Hong Kong, she bumped into Chen Jiansheng and his boss's daughter's concubine at the door of their home.

Chen Jiansheng, who only cares about currying favor with his boss's daughter, doesn't care about his son's life or death.

Meifeng was heartbroken when she saw her 6-year-old son was so hungry that he cooked instant noodles by himself.

However, neither Chen Jiansheng nor his son Mingming recognized that the crazy woman wrapped in a scarf and with scars on her face was Liang Meifeng.

Only Meifeng's best friend and colleague Shanshan recognized the ugly mute in front of her as Liang Meifeng.

Shanshan couldn't bear to see her former friend suffer such hardships, and decided to help Meifeng heal her injuries no matter what.

She even used her house as a mortgage to borrow money for Meifeng's plastic surgery and vocal cord repair surgery.

At this time, Meifeng did not know that her father had already been sent to a nursing home by Chen Jiansheng to fend for himself. The old man fell downstairs and died tragically during an argument with Chen Jiansheng.

After surgical treatment, Meifeng regained her former appearance and her vocal cords recovered enough to be able to speak.

But today, Meifeng is no longer the virtuous wife who loved her husband wholeheartedly.

When she learned that her father died tragically because of Chen Jiansheng, she decided to take revenge on Chen Jiansheng and vowed to die with the scumbag.

And Chen Jiansheng, who was promoted by his boss, did not work down-to-earth. He wanted to sell out the company's interests and make a fortune.

Unexpectedly, things were revealed and all efforts fell short.

Facing legal sanctions, he hurried home to pack his luggage and prepare to flee.

Chen Jiansheng was horrified to find Liang Meifeng waiting for him at home. He hypocritically begged Meifeng to forgive him and expressed his willingness to start over, and the family would remain as before.

Meifeng only replied with a sneer, and then she took out a dagger and stabbed Chen Jiansheng.

The former—loving—couple grappled, each trying to kill the other.

Meifeng cut the gas pipe with a dagger. Chen Jiansheng wanted to open the window but found that the window had been sealed with wire by Meifeng.

Everything shows that this is a premeditated revenge.

Meifeng held up the lighter and wanted to wait for the gas to fill the room before she and Chen Jiansheng died together.

She complained tearfully, expressing her emotions of sadness and anger just right.

During the stalemate between the two, the unsuspecting neighbor rang the doorbell.

The room filled with gas immediately burst into flames and exploded.

The sound of explosions and smoke filled the once cozy home. Chen Jiansheng was closest to the explosion point and fell to the ground and died on the spot. Liang Meifeng was also injured.

In the last scene of the movie, Liang Meifeng hugged her son and stared blankly at the dead Chen Jiansheng.

What is she thinking at this time?

If Chen Jiansheng had not gambled and refused to save her, their family of three could have lived a happy and ordinary life.

It's a pity that there is no if in the world.

Chen Jiansheng is undoubtedly selfish and will do anything for fame and fortune.

As a home-based son-in-law, he has always been disliked by his father-in-law and was bullied by his superiors at work.

Even having a virtuous wife cannot heal his inferiority complex.

And the success he wants is not down-to-earth hard work, but the legend of getting rich overnight.

The gambler's spirit is the essential cause of Chen Jiansheng's tragedy.

The character Meifeng is also very tragic. She seems to have been living for others.

Whether she takes risks and embezzles public funds for her husband, or avenges her father and dies together, Meifeng is always in a cycle of self-sacrifice and grief and indignation.

Even at the end of the film, when Chen Jiansheng was killed by a bomb, she still ran towards him crying, shouting - Jiansheng -.

Until the end, Meifeng still couldn't let go of her feelings for her scumbag husband.

Combined with the real-life story, we cannot bear to accuse Meifeng of being confused and having a love brain. After all, they have paid a heavy price.

All I can say is that falling in love is risky and you must be cautious when getting married.
