Film Name:一秒拳王 / One Second Champion
Since he was a child, Zhou Tianren had a kind of supernormal ability to predict what was going to happen in the next second. When he grew up that supernormal ability could not help him to achieve success in any field and he ended up accomplishing nothing, but his son had hopes for him. In order to avoid his creditors, Zhou Tianren often used his prediction function and managed to escape. When he is depressed, he is discovered by a boxing coach, Shin, who teaches him to practise boxing, asking him to use his supernormal ability to accurately predict his opponent’s punches and then successfully dodge and return with a heavy punch to knock out his opponent. Chow Tin Yan did succeed and was delighted with repeated victories in the boxing ring, with his son and cousin going to watch the fights and feeling proud of him.
Of course basking in the joy of victory, a challenge comes. Joe, the champion boxer, issued a challenge to fight Zhou Tianren in the ring. Zhou Tianren didn’t dare to slack off and practised seriously, and didn’t dare to rely on that one-second prediction special ability to win by fluke again, and needed to work hard. However, when it came to the ring, he really couldn’t hold on, but for the sake of his son and cousin watching from the stage, and for the sake of the boxing gym opened by Shin, he had to fight hard and hold on until the end, and when he was about to fall down, he was held up by Joe, which embodied the spirit of co-operation and mutual help. At least, Joe made his opponent Zhou Tianren a hero in the eyes of his son and cousin, and in the eyes of Ah Xin. In fact, it was Joe who won the match in the end, and Zhou Tianren only embodied a valuable inspirational spirit.
In the utilitarian society, that can predict what will happen in the next second of the supernormal ability does not matter, only with money and power will work, and Zhou Tianren’s own struggle is worth learning from, after all, he transitioned from a fluke victory to the stage of the ring with their own real skills, is equal to the abandonment of the fantasy and speculative mentality, all based on their own struggles and strength to speak, and the last in the boxing ring Joe to help Zhou Tianren will fall is also precisely to establish this inspirational spirit, rather than let him make a fool of himself.
The final scene in the ring, where Joe holds up Chow Tin Yan who is about to fall down, is precisely to establish this kind of inspirational spirit, rather than to make a fool of him.
After the decline of Hong Kong films, small-budget productions have continued. 《One Second Champion》 is a small budget production, there is no big investment and scenes, of course, there will not be any stimulation of people’s nerves, car racing, gun battles and other episodes, so that people are nervous about the plot is the ring, and the spirit of mutual assistance above the ring is rare, from a kind of warmth in the group to get the best out of the mentality, and is also a kind of spirit of the development of the people of Hong Kong pillar. Special powers are unreliable, strength is reliable, and to a certain level, it is necessary to help each other and co-operate with each other, it seems that they can not leap to a higher level, and can not achieve greater success.
But Chow Tin Yan just wants to prove to his son and to Shin that there is actually a gap between his strength and Joe’s. He is still a good fighter. As long as he accepts the challenge, trains hard, and is able to go to the ring to answer a fight, he has already counted Is a valuable step forward, is to lose also lost honourably, just when he was about to fall down the opponent Joe held him, to keep the spirit of the spirit does not fall down. There is a popular saying that “a tiger will not fall if it dies”, and for Zhou Tianren, it is a model of inspiration for young people.
