abstract
Shanghai hooligans Lu, Huang Quanrong and Yuan Xiaojun, collectively known as the three tycoons in Shanghai, specialize in smuggling and drug trafficking and are inextricably linked with the Kuomintang.

Fortunately, his subordinate Cao Shan and his dog saved him, and Yuan Xiaojun surrendered to the Japanese army.

Behind the scenes of the movie:
Hao Zai, the lame man, won the Hong Kong Academy Awards on 1992, which made him taste the sweetness, and the theme of "Xiongxiong" was also popular in Hong Kong. Compared with Hong Kong-made "little wizards" Li Rui and Wu Xihao, "Wang" is not a "big wizard".
The next two films, The Emperor of Shanghai and The Emperor of Shanghai Dominates the World, should be China's version of The Godfather.
Although Lv Liangwei plays a dominant role in the two plays, he is constantly interrupted by the inserted narrative, which seems to indicate that the fate of tough characters will inevitably be influenced by the tougher historical trend.
The opium business in the French Concession era made him emerge, and the warlord scuffle made him see the situation clearly. He was willing to apologize for Huang's servility to his son, and passively chose to turn "right" on 4. 12. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression even let him leave Shanghai from active resistance to disheartening, but there was nothing he could do to rebuild after the war.
As a biographical film, the producer will try his best to show Du's good side, but Du must have his own way to compare with ordinary gang leaders. He can't read, but he definitely knows the word "loyalty".
He doesn't know the economy, but he knows when to do what business; He is a gangster, but he can be honest and honest, donate money and materials and order his subordinates to actively participate in anti-Japanese activities when the country is in danger; He has n wives, but he has a deep attachment to Meng Xiaodong, a childhood friend.
