China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Zhou Limin, a well-known domestic film critic, was hiding among the tens of thousands of viewers in the audience. As far as he knew, there were at least a dozen film critics like him who came to the scene today.

But Zhou Liming is different from others. Most of the others were hired by the film crew with money, but Zhou Limin came uninvited.

Zhou Limin has a nickname in the industry - foul-mouthed Zhou Limin. From this nickname, you can guess why the film crew didn't want to invite him during promotions.

The movie started, and Zhou Limin also took out the palm-sized notebook he carried with him, ready to write down the "highlights" of the film at any time. Of course, from his nickname of "Smelly Zhou Limin", we know why the "highlights" here are in quotation marks.

.

At the beginning of the film, a frustrated but extraordinary middle-aged man remarries a rich man's ex-wife and his rebellious and troubled daughter.

In just a few minutes of the opening of the movie, Zhou Limin wrote in a notebook: "The beginning of the mid-life crisis is somewhat similar to Bruce Willis's "Die Hard". The story is still the same, with the lone hero having great foresight, the daughter being rebellious, and good words being hard to come by.

A ghost who persuades you to die, a far-sighted protagonist, a teammate seeking death, and a policeman who is late. It is a movie that you can guess the content of the next two hours in the first two minutes. The huge momentum of the premiere may not be able to boost Cheng Longjiang's declining box office.

Influence."

The movie continues, the daughter's best friend is caught, the daughter is so frightened that she is distraught and at a loss. Although the old father thousands of miles away is worried, he is extremely calm and calm.

While quickly taking out the toolbox and showing off an extremely intimidating professional operation, he directed his daughter to hide under the bed in the next room.

But after her daughter finally hid it, she suddenly told her in almost callous words: You will definitely be captured by them!

One sentence broke the last bit of luck my daughter had left, and completely exceeded the expectations of all the audience at the scene.

"Kimmy, concentrate, this is very important. Leave your phone on the ground. You have five seconds, or ten seconds. Time is running out. Concentrate. Say everything you see. Hair color, eyes, height."

, scars, etc., everything you saw, did you hear it?”

"Dad, I think they might...Dad...has a big beard, is 1.8 meters tall, and has a tattoo of the moon and stars on his right hand."

When her daughter was suddenly pulled out from under the bed, she shouted everything she could see at the top of her lungs. The father on the other end of the phone, who had been extremely calm and even cold, felt his whole heart twitch at this moment.

He is bearded, 1.8 meters tall, and has a tattoo of the moon and stars on his right hand.

Is such little information really useful?

have no idea.

Everyone only knows that when the daughter played by Liu Yifei was violently pulled out from under the bed, when she saw Liu Yifei yelling out the characteristics of the kidnapper at the top of her lungs, and putting all her hopes on this peaceful father who was full of contradictions for her.

At that time, the father played by Cheng Long is no longer an ordinary person. Ordinary people can do almost nothing except worry. But the daughter played by Liu Yifei must be safe and sound. This is the voice of the audience, so Cheng Long must

If gods stand in the way, they will kill gods; if people stand in the way of others, they will kill!

Zhou Limin closed the small notebook and put it into his pocket.

"With my memory, I will still be able to write from memory as sharply as I can after I get home."

As for now, if no one can be saved within 96 hours, the daughter played by Liu Yifei will never be found again. So what else is more important than this now?

there is none left!

Cheng Long took his daughter's stepfather's private jet to fly to France, and then walked the route his daughter had taken all over again, which made the audience's hearts twitch again.

The daughter played by Liu Yifei has been kidnapped for such a long time. Why is Cheng Long still following the route his daughter took step by step? Once you find the next place, they will have already arrived at the next place. If you don't take shortcuts, how can you save people?

Cheng Long sneaked into the chicken coop, found his daughter's clothes, rescued the girl wearing her daughter's clothes, and killed one against ten!

The fighting scenes are crisp and clean, with deadly moves, sharp editing, and tight rhythm, which will leave people breathless.

Zhou Limin nodded secretly.

Cheng Long said that this movie was his transformation, and it seems that what he said was true. Before watching it, he thought that this movie was at most an upgraded version of "New Police Story", but he did not expect that the final effect would be more similar to Matt

Damon's "The Bourne Supremacy".

Seeing this moment, Zhou Limin judged that the movie had been successful.

First of all, although the plot is still a little old-fashioned, the victory is that the inner portrayal of the characters is quite full, which greatly improves the problem that Cheng Long's films in the past paid more attention to action and despised the inner portrayal of the characters.

Secondly, the casting of the movie was very successful. Not to mention the role of Cheng Long. It was originally a tailor-made role. Liu Yifei played the daughter. Anyone who saw her being roughly pulled out from under the bed by the kidnappers would hear her panic.

Even if he shouts the characteristics of the kidnapper in a panic, it is impossible to remain indifferent.

From the moment Liu Yifei was arrested, the audience's emotions were completely brought into the movie.

There is also the fellow fishing guy at the airport and the girl Cheng Long rescued from the chicken coop. Their acting skills are all remarkable. Liu Yifei and her daughter appear at the same time in the movie and also play the role of mother and daughter. It is also a highlight.

Only such a beautiful mother can give birth to such a beautiful daughter.

After learning about his daughter's possible whereabouts from the rescued girl, Cheng Long once again entered the tiger's den alone.

It is another intense fight design with no room for rest. It can be said that it subverts the style of Cheng Long's previous action films and gives people a refreshing feeling.

Cheng Long killed all the more than twenty kidnappers except one who was left behind to question his daughter's whereabouts.

His daughter's best friend had died tragically. Cheng Long took the kidnapper leader to a dark basement and tied him to a chair.

First, he punched the kidnapper in the face with two fierce punches, and then took out two large iron nails one foot long. The two nails collided together, making a unique metal buzzing sound.

"Wake up, I want you to concentrate!"

Cheng Long saw a big iron nail in one hand, then raised it high, and then thrust it into the kidnapper's thighs, causing the kidnapper to scream like a pig being killed.

The iron nail was connected to the power supply. Cheng Long asked about his daughter's whereabouts. The kidnapper spoke harshly. Cheng Long pressed the switch, and the light bulb flickered on and off. Accompanied by the sizzling sound of electricity, the kidnapper was electrocuted until veins bulged all over his body.

Cheng Long turned off the power and continued to inquire about his daughter's whereabouts. The kidnapper was a complete desperado and spat on Cheng Long's face.

Cheng Long wiped off the saliva, blocked the kidnapper's mouth, and then pressed the switch again. The kidnapper instantly tasted the taste of life worse than death.

Cheng Long turned off the power again.

"Where is my daughter?"

"We don't keep virgins, we sell them. She's a virgin and can be sold for a lot of money."

"You sold my daughter? You sold my daughter? To whom?"

"I have no idea."

Cheng Long continued to gag the kidnapper and prepared to electrocute him again. The kidnapper had a nervous breakdown and obediently named the buyer.

Cheng Long asked: "Where can I find him?"

Kidnapper: "I don't know."

Cheng Long walked towards the switch. The kidnapper had a complete mental breakdown and even cried: "I don't know... I don't know... I don't know... Please... Please... I don't know..."

Cheng Long: "I believe you."

He picked up his clothes and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped: "But I can't let you go!"

After saying that, he pressed the switch again, then closed the door and left.

Seeing this, Zhou Limin's heart beat wildly.

The new look in the fighting design can only be considered a small surprise at best, but the innovation in the protagonist's acting style is the big surprise.

Previously, all twenty or thirty robbers were killed by Cheng Long. It can be said that if you don't kill others in battle, they will kill you. But now facing the robbers who have been tortured by him until they are no longer human, facing the robbers who have lost their combat effectiveness and lost their

Despite threatening the enemy, the protagonist still directly uses the most cruel methods to inquire about the whereabouts of his daughter.

If two large iron nails were directly inserted into the enemy's legs and electrocution were considered extreme measures to save the girl, then in the end the kidnapper had obviously done everything, but Cheng Long still used the most brutal and inhumane punishment to execute him.

What?

This was completely beyond Zhou Limin's expectations.

At the same time, this is simply not something that the protagonist can do.

No matter how heinous a person is, he has his own destiny and cannot let the protagonist do it for him.

Because public opinion has always been overly tolerant of evil people, but overly harsh on good people.

A villain can murder, set fire, rape and rob, commit all kinds of evil, and have no bottom line, but in the end, as long as he occasionally says a few polite words to his neighbors, he can gain a large number of sympathizers.

A good person can be killed and his family is broken up, his wife and children can be separated, and he can be tortured to the point of death. But a good person cannot be imperfect. Any small shortcomings in a good person will be magnified infinitely, and in the end they will even be destroyed.

Countless people rose up to attack.

Then he said: Flies don’t bite seamless eggs!

Or: Although it was miserable, he asked for it, who let him...

In short, it’s hard to be a good person.

The theory of victim guilt is widespread around the world, as if imperfect good people deserve to be killed, victimized, and tortured.

But why?

At this moment, watching the protagonist Cheng Long unexpectedly kill the kidnapper leader, an idiom suddenly flashed in Zhou Limin's mind: Hearty!
