Of course, as a classic inheritance, there are many shortcomings in the third part of a masterpiece. Let me talk about the shortcomings first: there are few twists and plot surprises. There is little suspense about the whole crew going undercover, and there are few new ideas in production. But I will also talk about the advantages: the new characters are eye-catching, the old characters are interesting, and the Hong Kong flavor is still there.

If nothing else, this is comparable to the scene in "The Legend of Dragons" where whenever Duan Yu meets a female character and falls in love secretly, his father Duan Zhengchun shouts in his ear: "Your sister!" The plot is really poisonous. The director of this drama asked all the underworld bosses to go undercover, and no one was able to mix well with the underworld. This setting really made the audience cry. The director of the "Apostle" series did a good job of leaving a gray area between black and white. The "Chilling" movie was originally criticized by the media audience for its lack of "gray area and Hong Kong flavor". However, when all the characters become ambiguous and have a backup plan, the audience who have suffered "hidden losses" from the "Infernal Affairs" series will learn to be shrewd. Whenever there is any clue about something happening, the gang boss will be an undercover agent! ! ! The most annoying thing is that it is always verified. It is really an interesting cat-and-mouse game.

On the other hand, this is also a kind of fun. Isn’t the fun of the "Walker" series that the undercovers try to cover up, the screenwriters hide their secrets, and the audience follows the clues to find out? Without any link, it is not complete and perfect. This is a test of the actors' acting skills. Except for Raymond Lam and Miao Qiaowei, who are like old handlers, they still contributed to the performance of the former with ease and the latter with a pin-point performance. Especially the sadomasochistic BGM of the third brother and Jiang Meiyi at the end accompanied by the divine song "The Harder The Harder It Is Love" was so heart-wrenching. Dou Yaxi, played by newcomer Cai Sibei, and Pang Haoyang, played by Zhang Zhenlang, are very eye-catching. The UC dream linkage between the two of them teaming up to make sweets also makes the newly updated episodes a lot more interesting.

In fact, there are quite a lot of controversies about Cai Sibei as an actor. In "The Trend Master", there was a lot of controversy when she played the role of Goldfinger + Silly Baitian to partner Chen Hao. In "Iron Horse Chariot", the pairing of Yuan Weihao and Huang Zhiwen was also controversial. She stole a lot of scenery, but her reputation improved after starring in "The Blind Lawyer" and Wang Haoxin. She is quite suitable for a role with a strong market atmosphere and a distinctive personality. This time, the hot pants girl’s look is quite eye-catching, and if you look closely, you can see that her hair color and makeup helped a lot. In fact, starting from "Iron Detective", she gradually became the heroine of Sanse TV. This time I teamed up with fellow "Pang Haoyang (not) played by Meng Hetang's twin Zhang Zhenlang", which was even more sweet! In this film, Dou Dou is at least much more likable than Huang Zhiwen's character. The latter has a high IQ and low EQ, comparable to a living ETC. It is natural that the audience does not like her.

In addition, as a female character, I prefer Huang Cuiru’s Sister Mei. Cui Rubb has really become more feminine and beautiful after her marriage, which is evident from the praise from the audience. Brother Tiantang and Zhengmei please get married where they are!

Another point is that reviews always say that the Hong Kong flavor has disappeared. I think at least the details of the tea restaurants in the streets and the plot of the gangs choosing restaurants are still good. As we all know, Hong Kong suffered a turmoil last year, and it was probably difficult to film many outdoor scenes. It is acceptable to be able to shoot them to this level. Hong Kong dramas are not as good as Hong Kong movies. Although this one has a goose factory and the production level has been greatly improved since the last season, the cost is still obviously under control. Speaking of which, I still miss the slightly deliberate but full-flavored "Big Chicken Soup with Famous Quotes" at the beginning of "Walker 2", or the "Huayan Sutra" at the beginning of the 271 "Chinatown Detective" web drama to add to the atmosphere. It’s a bit of an idea.

So, I still follow the "Walker 3" formula and accept all the advantages and disadvantages. If you don't believe it, look at the other Hong Kong dramas co-produced in recent years. The gap is still bigger. . To be honest, this year is difficult, and it is difficult for all walks of life.

Whatever bike you want, I’ll be happy.
