From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

By now, the progress bar of the movie is already halfway through.

Anyone who has read countless films can clearly see the general quality of this film.

Whether it's the performances of Ding Zhi and Fa Ge or Zhang Wenqiang's control of the plot, it can be said that it is detailed and appropriate.

All in all, as a Hong Kong film, it's quite right.

Let’s see what the cast is like in this drama!

Brother Fa, that is a memory shared by all generations.

As far as Ding Zhi is concerned, in the eyes of quite a few people, he has been raised to a new level in the "God of Medicine" released at the beginning of this year.

Cheung Wen-keung is also a well-known gold medal screenwriter and director in Hong Kong circles.

It’s absolutely beautiful to look at, there’s no doubt about it.

In addition, Bona's previous publicity campaign has been very effective, which has raised the expectation threshold to a certain extent.

This is the road show of "Wushuang". In addition to the media and some film critics, there are actually more ordinary viewers who are the "traffic" of this film.

After all, among other things, off-site scalpers have raised the ticket price of road shows to two to three thousand yuan, and even if you are not a loyal fan, you can't spend this money to take advantage of you.

In the eyes of all the main creators, there is no doubt who has the most appeal. It is Mother.

Ding Zhi, do your part.

Therefore, the "audience" of this year, at least those who will spend a lot of money to watch the road show at this time, has a particularly strong sense of immersion in the protagonist.

So far, what the plot has shown is more about the protagonist Li Wen's mental journey of being "forced into prostitution" step by step.

It can even be said that although Li Wen, played by Ding Zhi, has been the unmistakable protagonist from the beginning, Fa Ge almost quietly appeared after more than ten minutes of the movie.

It's just that until now, Li Wen, the protagonist, seems to be "suppressed" as a villain.

Rather than saying that Li Wen is the protagonist, it is better to say that he is a clue that threads the needle.

It would be fine if this protagonist was played by someone else, but it was Ding Zhi who played Li Wen!

As one of the top 100 UP owners of Xiaopo.com, Lao Ge actually has some influence in the field of movie commentary.

After all, as a self-media person, your tens of millions of fans on a certain music channel may not be as valuable as the hundreds of thousands of fans on a small website.

There is such an unwritten chain of contempt circulating in the self-media industry: the order of platform fan value is, WeChat public account > Xiaohongshu > Station B > Douyin > Kuaishou > Zhihu > Weibo.

As for Lao Goose, the up owner with more than 4 million fans, although he is not considered to be at the top of Xiaopo.com, he can still be regarded as the backbone of the "backbone force".

Lao Ge started out as a small up owner and became popular through videos explaining Ding Zhi.

Therefore, he must have a very special and true feeling for it.

So now that "Wushuang" has been screened for more than half of the time, Lao Goose feels a little uncomfortable.

Lao Goose, who prides himself on being more objective, has the idea that "the protagonist is too weak and makes me uncomfortable to watch."

Those Ding Zhi fans who bought the expensive road show tickets because of Ding Zhi and walked in to watch the movie first were naturally a little unhappy.

Without him, to put it bluntly, in a novel, there is no distinction between priorities, and the supporting characters take over the spotlight, stealing all the spotlight from the protagonist, and making the protagonist seem a little aggrieved. This is all inappropriate.

Even while watching the movie, Lao Goose occasionally turned his head and glanced at Miss Guan next to him with his peripheral vision, and felt that she seemed to frown slightly.

It seemed that he was peeking too unscrupulously. Miss Guan also noticed something and turned her head slightly, just in time to catch Lao Goose's gaze.

Miss Guan didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, she smiled generously and raised her eyebrows to gesture towards the big screen.

Keep reading.

Old Goose also smiled and focused his gaze in front of him.

Disguised as a disguise to buy acid-free paper, he blocked the road and robbed the discolored ink, but at the last moment he shot the guard in the car in a fit of rage, beating the discolored ink to pieces while it was still in the car.

After a lot of effort, in the end, I managed to grab two barrels of ink.

The old goose couldn't help but frowned.

The protagonist Li Wen is as cowardly and withdrawn as ever, and Wu Fusheng, who seemed a bit overwhelmed and calm-faced in the front, has changed from his previous indifference and wisdom and started to become irritable.

Even, in the last bomb, all the guards were blown up into the sky.

Relying on two barrels of color-changing ink, the "painter" counterfeiting group finally reached the final step.

Finer lines and details than the old version of the US dollar bill require more precision, even to an error of one thousandth of a millimeter, acid-free paper controlled by the government, expensive watermarks, and then the last step is to get the color-changing ink

After that, everything was alive.

As a result, the first batch of exquisite counterfeit banknotes, still exuding the scent of ink, were freshly released.

Especially after the first batch of counterfeit banknotes were printed and piled up on the table, the classic scene of Wu Fusheng taking the banknotes and lighting cigarettes made many people who had watched "A Better Tomorrow" be attracted by the heyday of the 1980s and 1990s.

Audiences who have been influenced by Hong Kong films of the period can't help but smile knowingly.

This visible "homage" is actually very pleasing, especially when the person doing this action is still the same person from decades ago to decades later.

To put it mildly, director Zhang Wenqiang actually didn't have the thought of "making dumplings just for the sake of jealousy."

And this time they killed someone for the color-changing ink, which also caused a gap in the relationship between Li Wen and Wu Fusheng, who had gradually integrated into this small group of counterfeit banknotes.

"What should I do if I run out of ink? Do you continue to kill people?"

Facing Wu Fusheng, who was toasting to him in celebration with a smile on his face, Li Wen "questioned" somewhat gloomily.

Wu Fusheng's smile faded, his dignity gradually grew, and he slammed his wine glass on the table.

"You think I want to kill someone? I'm saving you!"

The other four people did not speak, but silently watched Wu Wu Fusheng and Li Wen.

"You said I can leave at any time, is that true?"

Li Wen kept his eyes on the ground, as if it took a lot of courage to say this sentence, and he was even afraid that the slightest contact between his eyes and Wu Fusheng would make him tremble uncontrollably.

It can be said that Wu Fusheng, who introduced him to the industry before, was like a "teacher" who taught him step by step.

Wu Fusheng, who shot the guard on the Canadian highway and pressed the bomb switch to kill the prisoner, showed him a ruthless side that he had never seen before.

After saying this, he quickly added: "I will finish the color-changing ink, and I will leave after I finish it."

"My feet are on you, and you can leave whenever you want."

"I don't want you to kill anyone again."

"Enough!"

Wu Fusheng slammed the cup to the ground, making a loud and crisp sound.

The two people's eyes finally made contact.

a long time.

"Work! Ship the goods next week!"

Once the product is produced, it will naturally be sold.

In Europe and the United States, in Australia, and even in Southeast Asia.

And in the back, in the Golden Triangle.

A guerrilla "general" in the Golden Triangle is an old friend and regular customer passed down from Wu Fusheng's family.

It can even be said to be one of the biggest patrons.

Because the situation is chaotic, the oil and water are abundant.

After all, when it comes to ways to make money, warlords are actually the most adept at it.

Not to mention the Golden Triangle. Although the film does not explicitly mention it, it is inevitable to do a hugely profitable business like washing powder.

However, this "family legacy" relationship behind the scenes ushered in the beginning of the war.

Because, the "general" of this Golden Triangle guerrilla force not only wants to eat fish, but also swallows "fishermen".

It was also because it turned out that Wu Fusheng’s dead father was betrayed by the general of this guerrilla army.

The general thought that Wu Fusheng didn't know, but in fact he just induced it but didn't say anything.

Now, old and new hatreds are superimposed together.

Fa Ge seemed to be cheating, facing the hail of bullets, holding two guns in his hands, his heroic appearance remained the same as before, sweeping across.

That's probably what it looks like.

Da~da~da~da~da~════┯┷︻▄-stay-▄︻┷┯════da~da~da~da~da~

Dreaming back to "A Better Tomorrow".

This is actually against common sense. A mere combination of three gangsters + an electrotype master + a housekeeper would drag along Li Wen, a dragster who could only lie on the ground and scream in fear at the sound of gunshots.

, but directly wiped out a group of guerrillas that had been hovering in the Golden Triangle for many years.

According to the flashback at the beginning of the film, 82 people were killed and 157 were seriously injured.

Even if there are two to three hundred pigs, it will take three to five days to slowly line up and wait for their "5-1" combination to slit their throats.

What's more, this is a jungle guerrilla in the Golden Triangle. Their business is to lick blood with the tip of a knife, but they were directly killed by a small counterfeit money gang.

The price was just that one of the members had his hand broken at the wrist.

This is simply more special forces than special forces.

However, the truth is this, and it looks... really cool.

Seeing this, Lao Goose temporarily put aside his discomfort and began to continue watching to see which play he would sing next.

I have to say that as a popcorn movie, "Wushuang" at this time is absolutely qualified.

Because there is an emotional line between Li Wen and Ruan Wen, and there is also a "career line" between Li Wen, there is some excitement.

In terms of the description of the story, although Wu Fusheng played by Fa Ge is a bit majestic, he is not human-like.

He is alert and responsible, and can recruit the most important talents in just a few words. Most importantly, he is handsome and domineering enough, and almost meets all the characteristics that a protagonist should have.

This is actually the charm of Fa Ge, he is good at playing villains in a "high-sounding" way.

From the beginning to the end, to the rationalization of the story logic, to the details of the counterfeit banknotes, to the ultimate production process, and then to the romantic gunfights that dream back to the 1980s and 1990s.

The protagonist never dies, and the opponent is cut into pieces.

But are you disappointed?

That's still there.

Especially for Lao Goose, Ding Zhi has actually become a "totem" in his career many times.

In other words, in the past few years, Ding Zhi has made many of his loyal "fans" cunning.

After all, although he did not create a new genre with every film, in many cases, he stayed in the "comfort zone" for a while before coming out again.

But what I have to say is that every one of Ding Zhi's films actually contains surprises.

Even in "Operation Red Sea", which was the most "restrictive" for his acting skills, it actually proved from one aspect that he, Ding Zhi, is completely capable of playing the role of a soldier.

Even among all the characters in the film, the "Yang Rui" he played has the strongest military flavor.

However, the other "team members" who had also practiced in the army for the same two months were all superficial. Only Ding Zhi's smell was the most real.

As for today's "Wushuang", in terms of acting, there is definitely no problem.

After all, with two Golden Bear Best Actor trophies in his hand, he is basically listed among the domestic first-line artists, and they all have a reputation.

If there is no problem with the acting, then the problem lies in the "story".

To put it bluntly, the movie is good-looking, the scenes are exciting enough, and even some of the jokes, tributes, etc. are very smooth.

But the story is a bit mediocre.

However, Lao Goose suddenly felt relieved.

After all, Ding Zhi is not a god, how can any actor be successful in every film he makes?

In fact, so far "Wushuang" is still a qualified genre film.

What's more, this film is not actually "produced by Ding Zhi", nor is it produced by Jiuyao Media.

It's almost, but it's actually understandable.

The story continues.

Then, Li Wen finally discovered the true formula of color-changing ink through a car with a color-changing coating.

At this time, Li Wen obviously wanted to "retire after success." What's more, the meaning of the "Golden Triangle Melee" was still fresh in his mind, but it made him even more panicked.

However, at this time, signs that something was wrong finally appeared.

There was a problem with Wu Xin, the electrotype master, and two generations of veterans in Wu Fusheng's family.

Because this batch of U.S. dollars was so imitated that Wu Xin was so obsessed that he used counterfeit coins to buy and sell an antique that he had been eyeing for a long time.

And that antique was a flaw, and the Canadian police followed the clues and climbed up.

Wu Fusheng killed Uncle Xin who had been exposed.

Then there is another invitation, inviting the undercover policeman disguised as the buyer "Assistant Ma" to a hotel, so that he can legitimately become a real "undercover".

The corpse lying underneath.

And it was in this hotel that Wu Fusheng flew away to find his best friend, and had no intention of letting Li Wen go.

And in order to solve the inner demons of his "little brother", he captured Ruan Wen and his husband.

What he wanted was to let Li Wen shoot and kill Ruan Wen's husband.

In other words, let him get the certificate of voting.

But Li Wen finally used his courage on Wu Fusheng.

He pointed the gun at Wu Fusheng.

A gunfight is about to break out.

To be precise, it was also a melee.

A hail of bullets suddenly erupted in this cramped hotel room.

After a fierce battle, only the mysterious "painters" were left, one was Li Wen, and the other was Ruan Wen.

The story of the "painter" comes to an end here.

To be precise, Li Wen's performance in this story is mediocre, and it can even be said that there is nothing interesting about it.

However, the old goose who saw this, or most of the audience, didn't know yet.

All reversals actually happen just before the dust settles.
