The turbulent Shanghai Bund of the Republic of China was a time of lords and lords, and a paradise for speculators!
"You can only say three words to a person, but you can't throw away your whole heart!" It is that era and environment caused! It is the default credo of everyone in Shanghai Bund, especially in the Shanghai Bund business circle!
Nowadays, we emphasize sincerity, for "polite words", is quite give contempt, but in that era, that "see people only say three words, not all throw a piece of heart! But in those days, the era of "only say three words to a person, do not throw away a piece of heart!", that anytime, anywhere may be dead in the street, but it is the normal social rhetoric! Especially in the upper class circle, "polite talk" is what everyone insists on with each other. It was also very popular with the decent people.
In the last century, in that era of turbulence and war, for Xu Wenqiang, who was new to the country, he had to rely on himself. For example, at the ball where the upper class gathered, not only to give those Shanghai Bund rogues and tycoons in the first time to leave a deep impression but also not too exposed, which is quite difficult to grasp, so it will be answered in that tone, to block back the scrutiny of those Shanghai Bund bigwigs and temptation.
The reason why the bigwigs asked Mann in the drama is actually a kind of test, a kind of hidden test for this new young talent in Shanghai Bund. If at this time, Wen fails to defuse this scrutiny in time and fails to leave these with an excellent impression in order to build up his own circle of contacts, it will be quite unfavorable for him to stand firm in the Shanghai Bund now. Therefore, the generalization of the past style, and with its unobtrusive, easy to talk, self-confidence and gentle way of dealing with, to win each other's respect, in order to quickly establish a firm foothold in the land of tigers and wolves of the Shanghai Bund!
Hui Wenqiang, he will be so "polite" in the face of outsiders, but this is also in order to survive the forced grasp of reality. But when he faces his friends and family, the tenderness and subtlety of the tenderness and thoughtfulness reveals a sincere treatment!
The elegant and ruthless, righteous, chivalrous and contradictory Xu Wenqiang, it is so that he has a unique charm that is different from any other person!

For Mr. Run Run Shaw, the old man, this was the Republic of China really Shanghai Bund young master, for the Republic of China in that era of people and things, compared to today's us, Mr. Shaw is the old man has the most real and direct understanding, so this although the whole filming in Hong Kong, "Shanghai Bund" and the characters in order to still be revealed by the bones of the only belongs to the Shanghai Bund of the real charm, the real success of the carving out of the Xu Wenqiang, for example, Xu Wenqiang, Feng Cheng Cheng, Ding Li and other characters of that era and their joys and sorrows! This is a classic of the era!
Additionally, it is worth mentioning that Xu Wenqiang's speech is not fake, but too articulate! That kind of elegance, that kind of ruthlessness, that kind of refined, that kind of shrewd and transparent, that kind of polite in front of people but also sparse and unrestrained feeling . Formed a unique tone, a can not be replicated only belongs to the Shanghai Bund tone! Fat's Xu Wenqiang with its unique accent, a deep interpretation of that originated from Du Yuesheng's "hooligans are not afraid, afraid of hooligans have culture! The first time I've ever seen a movie, I've never seen a movie, and I've never seen one!
