Chapter 134: Kill the Wolf 2
Ye Weixin is very awesome!
Ten years ago, "Slaying the Wolf" was sharp, tough, and domineering;
Violent, never muddy, angular, several protagonists and main supporting characters are very tough, whether it's watching kung fu or watching the plot, it's all good-looking is a neutral and unemotional comment, and so is hearty.
When more and more stunts are used, computer technology is more and more developed, martial arts design is actually more and more difficult to look at, flying around, although beautiful, but can only be stopped, the world is cold, the first to do this is innovation, the second to do this, will be ruthlessly despised!
Tsui Hark pioneered a new style of martial arts filming, but when it came to "The Legend of Shushan", it felt like he had gone mad;
Lao Mouzi's "Hero"-style play style has received rave reviews, and when it comes to "Ambush on All Sides", it is a bad review, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can only be one, not two!
"Slaying the Wolf" therefore gives people a refreshing feeling, and this feeling is not only martial arts!
In fact, it is comprehensive, if it is not such a plot, this style of play is very abrupt, and if it is not like this, the plot does not have tension, and it is easy to be vulgar.
When it comes to emotional color, it is repression.
Oh, by the way, "Slaying the Wolf" is a B-grade movie...
"Slaying the Wolf 2" also belongs to B-level according to the level of Hong Kong films...
So, as the subtitles fell, the first shot was of a woman being knocked unconscious, and then the internal organs were removed...
Hong Ye played by Gu Tianyu was the first to appear.
"This girl is four months pregnant, do you want to change it?"
"Does pregnancy have any effect on the internal organs?"
"Nope..."
"What's wrong with that?"
Hong Ye is the origin of the whole story!
The camera cuts, the police station, the director played by Lin Jiahua introduced: "More than 620 people in Hong Kong disappear every year for no reason, these people have no warning before they disappear, go to work as usual, eat with people, and then evaporate from the world!
Ren Dahua appeared: "In the past few years, I have arranged an undercover agent in a very likely smuggling group, and I am very confident that I will be able to lock the target in the short term!"
The camera switched again, jacket, vest, trousers, shiny leather shoes, meticulous back, with the master's unique cold expression, Shen Ming appeared on the big screen...
Dongcheng was still watching, and the girlfriend next to him couldn't stand it anymore: "Wow!
“… He's a villain!"
"That's handsome, too!"
While the two were talking, the big words 'Kill the Wolf 2' appeared on the screen...
……
Compared with the single-line advancement of "Kill the Wolf", "Kill the Wolf 2" has more characters and more complex relationships, which is almost a three-line advancement.
Mr. Hong, a gang leader who suffers from a serious heart attack, wants to kidnap his younger brother Hong Wenbiao to change his heart;
Chen Zhijie, an undercover agent with drug addiction, was sent to a prison in Bangkok after being exposed, and his uncle and boss Chen Guohua rescued his nephew and rushed to Bangkok alone;
Prison guard Ah Chai wants to transplant bone marrow for his daughter Xiaosha, who is suffering from blood cancer, but the prison warden is Mr. Hong's lackey and wants to arrange for him to come to Bangkok for a heart transplant.
The three lines intertwine and influence each other, and finally contribute to the finale of the hospital's firefight.
Fate always likes to play tricks on people.
Mr. Hong made a fortune by **** reselling, but he couldn't find a heart that matched his blood type, so he had to start with his younger brother;
Applejack really gets addicted to drugs in order to make herself look like a gangster;
Achai is kind and upright, but he doesn't know that he is serving in a black cell, and the warden has joined the gang.
Everyone is being mocked by fate, and everyone has demons.
Uncle Hua asked his nephew to be an undercover agent, so he should have thought of the possible danger, but he went to make a deal with Mr. Hong.
Mr. Hong can't say that he doesn't love his brother, but in order to keep his life alive, when he discovers that only his brother's heart can be used, he also completely loses his humanity.
The doctor predicted that Xiaosha would only live for half a year, but Achai, who was a father, would never give up, and used all means to find a bone marrow donor, including some illegal means, of course. However, Achai had a good heart, perhaps because of his devotion to Buddhism. He told his daughter that the seed was buried in the dark soil, and that as long as it did not give up hope and worked hard to grow upward, it would one day see the light of day.
The light and darkness he spoke of were clearly symbolic.
So after recognizing the true face of the prison warden, Achai, who could stay out of the matter, risked his life to rescue Applejack and Uncle Hua, which made the final decisive battle possible.
He would rather give up the opportunity to save his daughter, but also fight the prison warden to the end, and would rather be beaten and abused by Korean gangsters than give in.
This is obviously countless times more noble than Uncle Hua giving up his duties as a policeman in order to save his nephew.
Of course, "Slay the Wolf 2" is an action scene!
The most important thing is to fight!
The hand-to-hand combat between Applejack and Achai in the interrogation room shortly after the opening scene is completely fancy, it is really straightforward, simple and rude, which sets the tone for this movie and makes the audience have more expectations!
The second action scene takes place in the ferry waiting room, which is a pure gunfight scene, in order to change the audience's taste, after all, as a modern action movie, it is not interesting to fight with hand-to-hand all the time...
In the third prison scene, Applejack releases the prisoners, and the shirtless prisoners fight with the police with riot shields.
Shen Ming plays the role of the warden's flying legs in the sky, and makes a gorgeous appearance...
The fourth fight scene occurred when the police surrounded a private clinic to rescue hostages, a black-clothed killer fell from the sky, the dagger in his hand was like a kitchen knife with stuffing, and like a butterfly wearing flowers, accompanied by a scream, the police were slaughtered, the close-up of the severed finger is really terrifying, the classmates who have watched "Slaying the Wolf", of course, know that this is a tribute to the killer played by Wu Jing.
The final climactic scene is a ten-minute-long hotel battle.
The gunfight and group fight scene in front of him are just foreshadowing, in order to lead to the ultimate showdown between the three stars, the prison warden, who is still in a delicate suit and tie, and the horses around him are all dead, and he has to deal with two sworn enemies who kill red eyes with his own hands.
This is no longer a contest of kung fu, but a contest of willpower, a confrontation of the degree of resistance.
At this time, what is considered is not what evil does not prevail over the good and eliminates harm for the people, but how to kill the other party.
Of course, compared with the extremely tragic but surprising ending of "Slaying the Wolf", the result of "Slaying the Wolf 2" is much more festive, which greatly weakens the despair and tragedy of the movie, and seems a little too deliberate.
There is nothing wrong with that.
Whether it is the creator or the distributor of the movie, it is obvious that they prefer a box office blockbuster movie rather than a good movie like "Slaying the Wolf", which can't make money.
