THE FACTORS
- Love Factor -
Steven Ma
He gets blame for everything!!!! No matter what he does, how good he does his things, he will get blamed for, because he is the adopted son. His parents can reject him anytime, his brothers can call him trash all the time, his workers can work against him most of the time. No one listens to him, no one respects him. At once, Wayne called him, "stupid." You may think he is stupid, because someone as talented as Steven can work elsewhere and become rich and famous. However, Steven is willing to stay in the Bureau, solving all the problems, cleaning all the mess. At once, Wayne also said to him, "Stupid, why are you hiding? Come out to take the keys (take control of the Bureau), and stop taking the blames." Of course, we all know that Steven is the only one who can take control of the business, because he is the only one who truly cares about the Bureau....

Wayne Lai
He is very useless, never makes any clever decision. From the beginning to the end, he didn't change any useless bone inside of him. At the beginning, we all hated him. Whenever he is in trouble, he will seek Steven's help, however, he will blame Steven for helping him. In order to make situations worse, he always work against Steven, always brings the trouble to the Bureau. As Steven said, Wayne is not the leader type, and Wayne could die if he takes control. Steven was right. Wayne did "died", but Steven gave him a new identity, from then, Wayne became the biggest supporter of Steven. However, Wayne is still the useless, panic-over-nothing type. How can I fall in love with such a useless person? The answer is short and simple, and it only took me 9 minutes to love him, that was when he gave up the keys to Steven, read more below...

The Story
- 10 Days Monday Back Guarantee
The story begins with a very exciting task for Steven: asking for all the money back within 10 days. I thought that was a very good beginning for the series, it was interesting, exciting, and we get to see the mean Steven. I especially loves the part when he was blamed for a guy's death, but Steven was willing to defend himself.
- "Promote some, demote some, kill (fire) some"
I love the way Steven say this line! This is now my favorite line of the series. Steven thought a strategy to promote the good, hard working people, demote the lazy people and fire the ones that harms the guards' bureau. So perfect for the real world as well ;-)
- Who gets the key?
This question will be asked throughout the story. As the audiences, we all know the answer, however, Steven's father has hard time deciding. At one time, he is switching between Wayne and Ben. Steven clearly told everyone that Wayne is not the leader type. Steven's mom got mad and wanted to kick Steven out. Steven apologized to his mother and told her the reasons why. That scene was so convicting and so emotional.
- The Last 9 Minutes of Episode 20
The 9 minutes is dedicated to Wayne entirely. This is also THE best moment of the series, when Wayne gave the Bureau keys to Steven. Wayne had a powerful speech, which can easily make you love him after hating him for the first 19 episodes.
- Wai Ying Hung's Letter
Before episode 23, make sure you have enough tissues at home, if not, go buy some. Because, reading her letter will make you cry like crazy. Most of us will waste lots of tissues here, because this is one of the saddest TVB scene I ever watched...



- Dislike Factor -
Elaine, her tears, her performances, and everything else about her
There is a scene, Elaine was about to "die", because Steven's father doesn't want to help her out. Elaine had about 5 minutes of self-speech. Couple people in the room listening to her, she talks about life, about how she doesn't want anyone to feel bad. Everyone in the room was in tears. I was totally lost, I didn't feel pity for her, I didn't feel bad. Don't give me wrong, I have nothing against her character, but I have all the complaints about her performances. That 5 minutes of self-speech is one of the worst scene in the entire series, her tears look fake, her speech was useless. Everyone else in that room had awesome performances, just by listening to her useless speech... This was only a small example, but, disliking Elaine wasn't a surprise. Of course, she is the only factor that can destroy the whole show. However, the story and the performances of the others can over-shadow her anytime, so you don't have to worry about her too much. Sooner or later, you will forget about her performances.



- How Come Factor -
Steven's marriage when he was 4
I remember Steven talked about his marriage when he was four. I thought that girl was Elaine, but I don't think that was her, because the father of the little girl is not Elaine's father. However, later on, no one mentioned about that marriage what-so-ever.



- Chemistry Factor -
Steven Ma and Elaine Yiu
This is one of the best chemistry of the year because of Steven's awesome performances. This is also one of the worst chemistry of the year because of Elaine's poor performances. Mix together, I have hard time deciding how to like or dislike them. For sure, I will prefer anyone else over Elaine.

Ram Tseung and Wai Ying Hung
The chemistry between Ram and Ying Hung was so strong, which can make most of you cry. At the beginning, you might not notice them at all, because Ram is also very useless, but he is very smart. Ram always thinks the best strategies to solve the problems, but he also wants to hide whenever there is trouble. Ying Hung hates Ram because he always play with his birds when everyone else works very hard. Ying Hung also loves Ram because he always think very hard about his strategies when the Bureau is in trouble, she also loves Ram because he was willing to sell all his valuable things to get money and help the Bureau. Ram loves Ying Hung, because she is strong, but also noisy. She will say so much thing for Ram to do so little thing. However, that also builds a very strong relationship between the two...

Steven Ma and his family
I love Steven's family, even though there are the greedy and bad ones, there are also the mean and stupid ones. I sometimes hate Steven's mother for blaming Steven too much. I sometimes hate Steven's father for giving Steven all the hard tasks. However, his parents were still willing to give the entire Bureau under Steven's control. In addition, when there is trouble, some people added even more trouble while others trying to reduce trouble. When there is happiness, some people will do harmful things to make the situation unhappy. This, makes a perfect family ;-)



THE COMMENTS
- The Performances -
Steven Ma came back with an awesome series, his performances shine the entire series, also successfully overshadowed Elaine's poor image. I especially LOVE Steven's crying scenes, so emotional and so powerful. I also want to mention Wayne Lai, who is very good at every character he performs. That 9 minute of Wayne speech in episode 20 is the peak of the entire series. You will love every single thing about that speech. As for the smaller characters, I think everyone did a good job, it's hard to pick anyone to blame, other than Elaine, of course.

- The Story -
I think I have included all the best thing about the story in the "Love Factors" part. This story was very unique, and very special. I learned so much things about the Guards' Bureau. After you finished watching the series, come back and read my review again, you will agree with me ;-)

- Worth Watching? -
If you are going to skip this series, you will miss a lot of things. This is THE BEST series of 2006 so far, if you are going to skip it, you might just better off skip the entire year's series. OK, maybe I am going little too far, but this is the must watch of the year, totally deserves the high rating, deserves your time and tears. Go watch it!

刚看过巾帼枭雄，冲着柴九冲着马浚伟，我翻出了这个似乎宣传力度并不大的铁血保镖。镖局题材也算TVB的经典，但这部戏里面更显男儿本色。从大掌柜尚正堂（其实看了很多他的戏，竟然不知道他的名字），到尚智、尚忠、尚孝、尚义，还有三掌柜、三夫人和大夫人，都演得很好。记得最感人的镜头有两个，一个是尚忠将大钥匙交给尚智的时候，那句傻小子配合两个人的表情，超棒；一个是三夫人死了，三掌柜拿着三夫人的绝笔回忆三掌柜的可爱又可恨的样子，感人。整体剧情比较紧凑，是部典型的男人戏。女主角姚子羚一般吧，现在好像偶尔看过当配角，主要是长的不怎么喜庆，而且演戏的表情有点僵。大夫人有的戏觉得演得有点过，这部戏里面的感觉蛮好。三夫人惠英红在戏里面挺有特点的，跟三掌柜的对戏也算戏中一亮点。虽然看过这部戏的人不多，评价也相应的少，但我觉得还不错，推荐给大家。

熬夜看完，每次大妈一抱怨我就想起天地豪情，为啥我对大妈这个演员始终没有好印象呢！配角太出彩，爹三叔三嫂大儿子，黎耀祥的一段转交仪式我拉回去看了三遍，马浚伟也很好，可是他这个角色太正了，简直没有一点缺点，不过演的还是不错的，最后要说下阿凤，唉，一律快进，两口子一对儿正能量，看着真累，宁愿看大儿子弱鸡样流氓和三叔的装死人生。

非得改成长评，哭，真是不懂四掌柜咋喜欢上阿凤的？善良孝顺？可是真的不好看啊，四掌柜也对自己太严苛，好吧，也许这就是爱情吧！拜！

旧文重发 写于 2007年4月30日
因为刚刚看完同是李添胜的《铁马寻桥》 于是很自然地想起了同是“铁字辈”的《铁血保镖》 所以就想起来这篇文章了。


　　说过要写铁血保镖很久，才终于决定写了。离看完，也已经两个月了。
　　作为去年的小成本作品，李添胜凭借精彩的剧本和人员正确的选择赢了个漂亮。铁血保镖成为当年黑马也是很有道理的。

　　剧集的主角当之无愧的只有一个，不过马浚伟撑得起的。马仔凭借此剧夺得去年台庆的最受欢迎男演员奖，也是对他的褒奖了。对于马仔，我从一开始就很喜欢。从那个《鹿鼎记》里的小玄子到之后的看的《金牌冰人》，再到今年看了的《铁血保镖》和《突围行动》，马仔的剧，总是有想看的冲动。不过，今天，讲这个题目，我最爱的你的样子，里头，却没有条件反射出尚智的什么情节呢。

　　我最爱的你的样子之尚忠／尚武
　　你当着大庭广众接下镖局大掌柜意思的大钥匙，然后一副二世祖模样的数落着尚智的不是，说阿智还说自己不是管理镖局的料，说自己做错很多事，说得下面的大家都大笑而觉得尚智不对；尚孝露出得意的笑容；而阿智在人群后头气得脸渐渐发绿……
　　就是这个时候，你说阿智说的对的，你的确不是管理镖局的料，你说你的确做错很多，然后一转身以会友镖局第三任大当家的名义传大钥匙给第四任大当家尚智。你知不知道你那时候多帅，我看着那样的你笑泪交加，觉得你真是灵得不得了。那是我最爱的你的样子。

　　我最爱的你的样子之尚正文
　　三叔就是一闲人，可是闲人是真正的聪明人。最爱你在大家都急得火烧屁股了的时候你一副心不在焉的样子，看看你的字画，喂喂你的鸟雀，其实你心里早已经盘算好了，你就是不说，就是不说。呵呵。还爱你在能免则免坚决当逃兵的时候，一旦老婆阿静一发威马上紧张起来无奈地吹胡子瞪眼去帮忙的样子。因为看得出，你嘴巴不说，你有多疼三嫂。那是我，最爱的你的样子。

　　我最爱的你的样子之阿静
　　阿静就是三嫂。爱看她口中总是对三叔说着怎么会嫁了给你之类的话，手里还要捏着三叔的耳朵，可心里，还是很喜欢他老公的。虽然他们一静一动两种类型，虽然她时常要骂他，但我知道，她是懂他的。那是我最爱的你的样子。


　　看了这部剧，继续感怀郭峰的演技。对于郭峰的感怀，是从《千慌百计》开始的，当时觉得他演蓝世凤都演的好好，才开始关注他的。没想到时隔不久又看见他在《铁血保镖》里头的出色表现。尚正堂是聪明的，所以他知道什么样的事情要给哪一个儿子去做，即使阿智做了对的事情，也不一定就会夸他。不明白的时候会觉得他糊涂，但懂了之后就知道他有自己很有一套的哲学。除去在究竟把大钥匙给哪个儿子这个涉及到太多方面的问题上他很犹豫外，其他问题都还解决的蛮好的。
　　正堂是聪明，但是聪明自然聪明不过我们家闲人正文。所以遇着了难事总还要请教请教这个军师。军师属于一般尽量逃，混多一天就一天，那么吃吃大闸蟹，逗逗鸟儿，赏赏花儿，写写字，那是很写意的人生。不过人家聪明吗，所以该出手的时候还是会出手。而且知道要避锋芒，不是一出手便胸有成竹的样子。总觉得家里有这么一号人在便不怕了。好中意他呢。蒋志光的又一演绎，这个角色跟《楚汉骄雄》里的张良是很像的。看来蒋志光本来都是很适合演这样角色的人呢。我很喜欢蒋志光的。
　　对于黎耀祥的喜欢，要追溯到古版《神雕侠侣》。那个老顽童，虽然看看就知道是个年轻人拌的，可是就是很喜欢。脸色红润白发银丝，喊着牛鼻子拉，觉得小龙这小女娃很好玩拉，怎一个可爱了得。《楚汉骄雄》里他演的韩信也是个很出彩的角色；《秀才遇着兵》的史其旺史师爷也是典型很合适他演绎的角色。经过最近的一系列配角角色的深受好评，最近他的戏和戏份也慢慢多起来了。《强剑》里演无涯，《迎妻接福》里是个男二的角色呢。而在大银幕方面，我都有看到他演出了不少的片子，虽然戏份都很少，但是都还蛮有潜力好好发展的。黎耀祥，加油哦～～支持你～
　　这部剧女方完全不出彩，祥凤来讲，表情在很多时候有一个噘嘴的无辜表情，自然有待加强。姚子羚的戏，其他的看过一部《酒店风云》，她演郑可儿，反为派角色。也许因为这个反派角色所以有不少人，尤其是不少羲迷对她有反感。但我都觉得还好。相比而言，我觉得可儿那个角色演得很不错，因为骗人时候的那种单纯，骗过我了。
　　最后说说马仔咯。我都很喜欢他的。现在在看他的《天机算》，前两集算麻麻地，后来倒开始慢慢精彩了（后来我好不容易看完了，这剧实在不敢恭维）。何况，还有我很喜欢的元华兄呵呵。
　　对了，一直不明白片子开头的时候讲尚智和某也走镖的小女孩拜堂是为什么没下文了。一直以为那个女孩就是祥凤，但剧里头也根本没交代。奇怪呢~

阿忠哭着说自己没用的时候，着实感动了一把，能力匹配不上野心，个中心酸可能只有他自己知道。大掌柜写遗书的时候记挂着每个儿子的样子，真的是... 每个演员都演的很好，就连群演都有自己表情的，可惜就是某几个配角的个性，为了冲突而冲突，完全没立起来。女主虽然说是败笔，但是这种相互扶持，互相信任的感情，也算把这份别扭的姻缘圆过去了吧。有了这部讲义的铁血保镖，和讲情的碧血盐枭，才有了后来的义海豪情，还真是这样。tvb很多价值观很老旧俗气，可是看到的时候真的觉得温暖，可惜它这些特色现在渐渐的都丢光了，希望它能找回自己曾经特有的这份温情。

首先说说男主马浚伟尚智，他不是尚家的亲生子，是尚老爷捡回来的养子。。对镖局忠心耿耿，老是还要背黑锅，还要跟山贼们讲道理，说真的是难得可贵。。主角真心很辛苦，背负很多使命，但是他都没放弃。。工作上他尽心尽力，爱情上他也是很珍惜，也没嫌弃过女主的出身。。

尚家大儿子。尚忠，一开始我是很讨厌的，老是喜欢发脾气，对这个不爽那个不爽的。。还总是找男主麻烦，搞对抗，以为自己是做大事的人，结果老是被大伯父的话挑拨离间他和男主的关系，蛮多地方都不长进，没有想过心疼父母，老是觉得父母只对男主好。。后来他不听男主的话，结果运镖失败，还害的运镖的人死了好多人，自己害怕死，装长毛贼。家人还以为他死了，官府觉得他为这事不在了，就封了他的号。后来他没死回来，也是男主给他解决了问题，改名尚武，他对男主开始改观。。说实话黎耀祥演这角色是前期不讨好，后期变好了，也是难得，有点败家子的感觉。

尚家二儿子。尚孝，其实说实话一开始是个会做事的人，性格也比较和善，也蛮多事情都为男主想，怕男主辛苦。结果没想到的是他爸爸要把钥匙交给大儿子的时候，他是多么的嫉妒，多么的不爽，多么的痛苦，觉得自己不受家里重视。因此他后来把麦包演的火样红的老婆，醉酒上床了，一个是因为家里的不重视，另一个却是老公不在乎自己，很寂寞。。后来他不敢承担，就间接害死了火样红，就此开始了黑化之路。。。确实是自作孽不可活！

尚家三儿子。尚义，他的戏份不多，19集才出现，结果一回来就要给老爸送终，确实比较头疼。好像还是在外出国留学的，对照相机拍摄情有独钟，觉得镖局应该有新的变化，不然过时了。。

女主利祥凤，虽然女主在里面可能起不到很大的作用，但是也还行。性格和善温柔，虽然样貌不一定好看，但是性格方面绝对不差，家里很困难，都愿意自己做镖师去抗，真的不容易。和男主的感情线也还行，这算是姚子羚第一部女主剧，虽然不出彩，但是表现还行。弱质女流说实话这种人设都没有什么好的发挥，我倒是觉得惠英红那角色不错，可惜死了。。

蒋志光，刘江，艾威，雪妮，陈曼娜，郭峰都是好戏之人，老戏骨了，自然是不会差的。。

主题曲是马浚伟唱的，也很有魄力。。。

ep08

女主从箱子里出来不赶快让她跑，居然还煮包子做吃的！

神经病啊！

各种不合情理，蠢出天际的剧情

开了个头只能继续看下去！

男主一人撑起的剧情！

讲真不是为了看马仔～我一早弃了！

食之无味弃之可惜的典范啊！

666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666

这个片子传说中收视率还不错
马浚伟和黎耀祥很出色
可惜
女主角的样子就很衰
八字眉还总是喘不上气的感觉
以前见她演的酒店风云啦随时候命啦这些剧集里面的女配还蛮好的
怎么当个女主角
就这么上不了台面
怪不得TVB狂捧钟嘉欣呢

从剧情上看也还不错
难怪马浚伟凭借这部戏又小火了一下呢
