The two parts of "Genesis" last for 107 episodes. There are countless villains in the show or people who make mistakes due to changes in human nature. The most classic among them is Huo Jingliang, but he has not changed from the beginning to the end. He is a person who has the same three views and adheres to his own principles of action from the moment he appears on the stage to receiving lunch. As a villain, his methods may not be as good as Zhang Zili's late game, but in terms of the charm of villain's language, he is enough to look down on all TVB villains, and A Fei does not hate him at all, but loves him very much. So before talking about Zhang Zili, I am going to analyze Huo Jingliang first.
When Huo Jingliang appeared on the scene, he was like a playboy. As one of the top wealthy people in Hong Kong, he dominated the entertainment headlines every day and had sex with various female stars. He doesn't think this is wrong, and he doesn't need to change it, because his principle is:
No man is careless, as long as the man knows how to go home.
This sentence is his attitude towards his family and loved ones. It doesn’t matter how he cheats on his body, as long as he has this family in his heart and Lisa. Lisa's bottom line is higher than Huo Jingliang's. It doesn't matter the women outside, but she can't touch her friend and best friend - Sabrina.
Sabrina may have some status in Huo Jing’s conscience, because after she jumped off the building, he would look for the diamond in the ring like crazy, trying to repair the ring and bring him back to life, but everything stopped after her funeral. The next day, Huo Jingliang still had to eat and drink. Women are like clothes. Once you take them off, you can just find another one.
There is only Lisa. To Huo Jingliang, she is more than just a woman. She is the only soul mate in his life. His love for Lisa has not changed from beginning to end.
During the divorce, because there was a wrong word in the divorce document, he tried to use God's will to persuade Lisa to return. Obviously this reason is very childish, and it was actually criticized by Lisa, but he is still willing to use it because he is so domineering and dignified, because a man will only let down his defense and show his most childish side when facing the one he loves.
After Ye Xiaoli died of illness, Huo Jingliang began to pursue Lisa again, but found that he was still no match for a dead man, and he became furious. This anger was also the most out-of-control moment in the whole drama, because losing tens of millions would be better than not having the chance to recover Lisa.
In order to get Lisa back, Huo Jingliang even cooked porridge himself. No one can associate a man who sings and dances with karaoke and supper every night with cooking. The fact is that he forgot to put salt in it, exposing his shortcomings, and it was another slap in the face, but he was only willing to do it for Lisa.
And at the end of his rope, he was willing to risk his life to take a secret look at Lisa before he died. For Huo Jingliang, being able to see Lisa would mean he could die in peace, but he would not let Lisa see him in desolation. He wanted his image in Lisa's mind to always be tall and powerful, and he would not tolerate the existence of rats crossing the street.
Love doesn’t know where it started, but it goes deeper and deeper. Under the chaotic private life, Huo Jingliang's love seems particularly profound.
If Huo Jingliang's personality is like an exquisite French meal, then this affectionate side is just an appetizer. After appetizer, the taste is lingering in the teeth and cheeks, and the main course is undoubtedly his extreme self-confidence.
Regarding the concept of friends, he has this explanation:
Friends are for use. If this person is of no use value to you, just kick him away; wait for you to use him. When you get him, bring him back and have a meal together. Then won't we become friends again?
This sentence comes from his confidence in his strength. As long as he is good for others and doesn't worry about others not being his friends, there is nothing he can't do that needs to be done. This attitude is an extension of another of his famous sayings:
A problem that money can solve is not a problem.
There are many such famous sayings, such as "Negotiate terms with me? Let's go and cool down!", "I, Huo Jingliang, think highly of you." These words were said when he was in an advantageous situation, so they were not unusual. Anyone with dignity, money and power can say such things. But he will not change this self-confidence even when he is at a disadvantage. For example, when he sniped Mingda, Ye Rongtian sniped Huo instead. He stole the chicken but lost the rice, making Tian the biggest winner in the sniper battle, even if So, he said:
Do you know what your biggest failure is? You just didn’t kill me, I’m capable of killing you!
These self-confidences are not blind, they are the knowledge and capital he has accumulated through decades of hard work in shopping malls. On the business battlefield, he also made classic conclusions, which not only reflected the process of building his business empire, but also reflected the reality of this society:
Look at the buildings outside, I dare say that ten of them have Jiudong was cheated, it depends on whether you are the one who cheated or the one who was cheated!
Hong Kong people are scrimping and scrimping to buy stocks in the hope of getting rich. They have no idea who the real winner is.
In the entire "Genesis", Huo Jingliang is such a sole hero. Compared with the separation and reunification of Ye Xiaoli and Ye Rongtian, Zhang Zili's self-loss in the process of revenge is still the humanity of Xu Wenbiao, Ye Rongjin and Ye Rongyi. In making decisions, Huo Jingliang spoke and acted with great openness, and he was not discouraged by victory or defeat, which made people happy to see him. As he said, "Everything in this era comes easy." Even if he went to Ye Rongtian before his death, he was not concerned about his own life or death, but about killing Zhang Zili, that would be enough.
Finally, let’s review the clips before Huo Jingliang’s death to pay tribute to this cute and charming villain!
