the "New Hong Kong Film" rarely seen on the big screen in recent years shows the stack of human nature under the absurd crime story

As a "rough film at the beginning of the year" in 2024, the film "temporary robbery" depicts the story of Mei Lantian (Aaron Kwok), Ah Yu (Lin Jiadong) and Murong Hui (Ren Xianqi), three "poor ghosts" who temporarily form a team to rob because of lack of money. Today's film first exposed the production of a special, with "fresh" and "special" as the key words, humorous and humble tone, sharing the temperament and core of "temporary robbery" and the traditional Hong Kong film "a little different". At the same time, the special exposed more behind-the-scenes tidbits of the film, showing the happy and harmonious atmosphere inside and outside the play. In the special, producer er Dongsheng said frankly, "this is an indecent absurd crime Hong Kong film." starring Aaron Kwok, Lin Jiadong and Ren Xianqi all use words such as "fresh", "interesting", "black humor" and "different" to describe "temporary robberies". Executive producer er Dongsheng also specifically mentioned the current problem of the routines of Hong Kong films. "this is also an attempt to show it to the young audience and give them a fresh feeling."

Director Mak Kai-Kwong has worked silently in the Hong Kong film industry for many years and has rich experience as a director. he recalls that the films he saw when he was a child contained absurd or police and bandit elements, and he thought of whether he could combine these two elements. that's why he formed the unique style of "temporary robbery." In addition to the absurd crime, it is also true. The film is drawn from the real life predicament of ordinary people. As Ren Xianqi said, "after reading the script, I found that it is actually some fantasy facing the predicament of life, and there are a lot of human stacking in the process." at first glance, the film "temporary robbery" is a melee of robbery, but the core is precisely to discuss an impoverished ordinary person walking into a desperate situation. Human choice under the pressure of life and family. "temporary robbery" breaks through the description of traditional Hong Kong films focusing on action scenes, and instead focuses the camera on the dilemma of ordinary people's families, so it will make the audience "have a sympathy similar to Stockholm syndrome. I think these guys are really desperate."

the crew strives to truly block Miao Street for seven days to focus on small potatoes to show the resonance of the reality at the bottom.

In the special, Aaron Kwok, who plays the fierce bandit Mei Lantian, recalled that when he first filmed the street robbery, he revealed that in order to pursue a more realistic scene, the crew used a lens to the end, with the support of the relevant departments of the local government. blockade the shooting of Temple Street in Hong Kong for seven days, it can be described as Excelsior. Zhang Keyi, who plays Sister Jiang, a policeman, said passionately: "when the whole person risked everything in the shooting scene, the surrounding environment was too lifelike." On the set, the leading actors are also very devoted and focused, often discussing roles and performances together, naturally colliding with a series of chemical reactions. As Ren Xianqi said, "this is a process of enjoyment, and my reward is a good script."

As director Mak Qiguang, who has formed a deep bond with the leading actors since he was an assistant director, er Dongsheng joked: "he has made more films than me, and he is the only assistant director I have ever used who dares to hurt me at the scene." it also shows the side of Director Mak Qiguang's strict requirements. Er Dongsheng also revealed that many absurd and humorous scenes in the film come from the director's ingenuity. "in fact, there are no big people in this play, all small potatoes." as an absurd crime film from the perspective of group images, each character in "temporary robbery" has its own unique charm. whether it is Mei Lantian, a wrestler who embarks on the road of robbery for his family, A Yu, who is involved by his brother under the pressure of buying a house and supporting his family, or Murong Hui, who has the idea of robbery in order to save a nursing home. They all represent "the expectations and dreams of different families and people in Hong Kong", which is also a microcosm of the crisis and plight of ordinary people in the current society. I believe that when the film is released, the audience will find a trace of resonance and comfort.
