Chapter 302: The Strongest in History

PS: It's been revised!

――――――――――――

“oh!”

On the screen, Donnie Yen played the protagonist who was controlled by a red-clothed thug, and Donnie Yen, whose hands were tied around his neck by the other party, looked extremely passive.

The red-clothed thug picked up a handful of broken pointed wood on the ground and quickly inserted it towards Donnie Yen.

Even though everyone knew that the protagonist was not supposed to die so soon, they couldn't help but exclaim.

Just when such an exclamation was heard in theaters across the United States, Donnie Yen, who was tied around his neck, completed the reversal in an instant.

The super flexibility of the body pressed the red-clothed thug to the ground and then flipped backwards.

Donnie Yen, who was originally passive, completed the counterattack, and it turned into his hands around the opponent's neck.

The capture of active and passive identities in such a short period of time once again made the theater exclaim, even if the plot reversal here seems a little unreasonable, but this does not prevent the audience from liking it.

The stubble that was originally caught by the red-clothed thug fell aside, Donnie Yen's left hand grabbed the opponent's neck, and then his right hand directly picked up the sharp stubble and frantically inserted it into the opponent's throat.

Yikes!

The blood flower spilled tenaciously from the periphery of the wood with a close-up shot, and Donnie Yen pulled out the stubble, and the blood sprayed out directly.

Hiss!

The blood flower accompanied by the lifelike almost human blood made the audience who saw it for the first time gasp, and many people sighed at the violence that appeared in the ordinary of the stubble killing people while gasping for air.

Donnie Yen is like an immortal Xiaoqiang, frantically fighting one thug after another.

There are few lines in the whole film, and the fight scenes are almost completely unsupported by lines. In addition to the proper soundtrack, it is completely the most realistic handling of life while fighting.

Audiences who are accustomed to movies relying on lines are not disgusted by the lack of lines in "The Raid". Instead, I felt more excited. Completely immersed in the intense fights of the film.

And the soundtrack of Linkin Park added a lot to the film, and many people wanted to go to the bathroom but held back.

Richie, who is just 22 years old this year, is one of the people who wants to go to the toilet, but watching the film he forced himself to sit in his seat, and he really didn't want to leave.

The camera on the screen pulled the duel between the captain and the mad dog, and it also officially opened the real opponent duel of the righteous forces.

The fighting action is so real, the fierce fight between the two is overwhelming, and no one is willing to miss an action.

Everyone looked at the screen carefully, but the SWAT captain didn't make it to the end.

The mad dog played by Wu Jing is under a close-up. The corners of his mouth flashed with that evil sneer again, and the whole person collapsed to the ground with both hands.

Wu Jing, who let go of the captain, did not look at the captain's body again, turned around and left the room.

And in this fight, Wu Jing and the captain's fight perfectly embodies the characteristics of modern fighting techniques.

In addition to paying attention to elbow strikes and knee tops, pay attention to closely restraining the opponent's big arms, and pay attention to hitting the opponent's joints to make the enemy lose the ability to attack.

Attack the opponent's fatal place, and every move can make people scream.

And almost all the unwanted action is thrown away, and the fights are super realistic, not at all the kind of wonderful fight scenes that rely on editing to create.

It wasn't edited by camera position. All the action is presented in a panoramic shot.

It is precisely in this way that it gives people an extremely real feeling, and it is precisely in this way that the viewer can feel the real and realistic atmosphere.

And let them completely forget that this is a film. All the action fights are fake.

"That's amazing!"

"He's so much better than in 'Hero', this is an action movie!"

"Yes, this TM is the action, there is no Weiya and there is only reality!"

……

Many people commented on Donnie Yen, and at this moment, Donnie Yen broke into the drug factory on the screen.

Donnie Yen's fight with a group of opponents, Chen Tian focused on the application of utensils like the original film.

After all, the length of this film is one and a half hours and completely depends on fists and kicks, so the super showdown with Mad Dog at the end will seem unattractive, even if the fight is exciting.

Maybe don't wait for the audience to walk out of the theater, after a long period of seventy or eighty minutes of excitement, their excitement will be significantly reduced.

Therefore, Chen Tian did not change the original film, focusing on the utensils, Donnie Yen beat with a folding stool, grabbed the villains, and the thugs frantically used their bodies and heads to hit the wall and the table.

Compared with the previous fights, although there were not so many fights with hands and feet, it made the audience's eyes light up and continued to keep the blood boiling.

When Donnie Yen staged a dagger confrontation, in fact, the principle of fighting was similar to that of empty hands, but because it became a dagger, it hurt more and increased the audience's attention.

And without WIA, under the footage created by the completely real fighting action, the beating of all the actors seems extremely real.

Because of the truth, it is easier for the audience to substitute, even if seventy minutes have passed, the audience still maintains a state of excitement.

When Donnie Yen came to the end of the film, the younger brother played by Zhang Zhen was hung in the room, and when Donnie Yen appeared, more people were looking forward to the peak showdown between Donnie Yen and Wu Jing, and at the same time, they were also worried that Wu Jing would threaten Donnie Yen with the younger brother played by Zhang Zhen.

However, at this time, the mad dog played by Wu Jing relieved Zhang Zhen, which was beyond all expectations.

However, Wu Jing's appearance soon told all the audience that he was trying to show his self-confidence.

Here, Chen Tian first made enough atmosphere, and after a long silent movement, the audience understood the true intention of the mad dog.

Wu Jing's confident and ruthless master temperament suddenly aroused the enthusiasm in the hearts of the audience.

While Roger Albert was excited to watch the movie, he was looking forward to Chen Tian's handling of this three-person fight scene.

He has studied a lot of action movies, and three-person fights require a lot of skill to work with, and they are also the most likely to be surprisingly funny.

Jackie Chan, who is also a yellow race, has many three-person scenes in his movies.

The scene of "The Raid" is seen now, and the action design and finish in it are superbly performed in Roger Albert's opinion.

Even a professional like him first thought that every fight was extremely real. And a three-person fight on a real basis is not an easy task.

Roger Albert watched the three-man duel with great anticipation. After a short buffer and calm, the scene of Donnie Yen and Zhang Zhen teaming up against Wu Jing was born.

The road of Wu Jing opera in later generations is not wide. is even defined as a villain, which can better reflect his acting skills.

It sounds like a word of praise, but for Wu Jing, who is bent on seeking a breakthrough and seeking a higher status, such words undoubtedly put him in a bad situation.

He also aspires to play the leading role and become an international action star like Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

But although he is still a villain this time, he cherishes it very much, and he is 200% invested in the shooting.

So far, he and Donnie Yen are the two most shining points.

Syllable!

Bang!

Boom!

Wu Jing dealt with Donnie Yen and Zhang Zhen, and the tense fight made Richie hold himself back again. Forced to pat yourself and not go to the toilet.

Holding back the urge to urinate is not an easy task.

Richie clamped his legs tightly and forced himself to focus on the screen.

His attention was quickly drawn away by the film's highlights, so much so that he neglected to hold his pee.

One against two still beat the two brothers to death, and many viewers were conquered by Wu Jing, even if he was a villain, but this did not prevent people from liking him.

However, at the last moment, the two brothers staged a reversal drama.

When the mad dog played by Wu Jing was forced into his neck by a fluorescent lamp and died, most of them felt a chill in their necks.

Here, Chen Tian disposed of the unreasonable shots of the later "Raid", and the processing of the camera position from far to near appeared more real and impactful.

With the death of the mad dog. The audience's hearts relaxed a lot after being nervous for 90 minutes.

The camera came to Leonardo and Liang Xiaolong, and the role of Liang Xiaolong Chen Tian recommended it really well. Exactly fits all the attributes required for this role.

In addition to Leonardo's acting skills, Chen Tian also values his huge influence.

Even though he is now at the low point of his acting career, it does not prevent him from having excellent acting skills.

One hand was around Liang Xiaolong's neck, and the other was holding a pistol.

Liang Xiaolong was not afraid of being held hostage at all, and the disdain and sarcastic smile on his face was particularly obvious, which made the audience feel unusual.

"You're so naïve, you really think you can really get in so easily!"

"You're not doing well, are you?"

"I don't know, but at least eighteen of you died!

Now that my people are still there, do you think you guys might run away?" Liang Xiaolong said with a calm smile.

"If I'm talking about numerical superiority......"

Leonardo interrupted Liang Xiaolong's words: "We're just talking about a bullet, and a bullet can explode your head." ”

In the previous ninety minutes of the plot, there were few pitiful lines, and the many lines here appeared with the slow advancement of Leonardo holding Liang Xiaolong down the stairs, which also made people's minds gradually relax.

Leonardo, who had killed his own police officer, looked very cautious, and this sentence under the anger at this moment was full of power.

However, Liang Xiaolong didn't care: "You don't understand, you've already died!"

The expression on Leon's face changed, but it was accompanied by Liang Xiaolong's next sentence: "Since you received a call from Zhu Ke, you have died." ”

Hearing Liang Xiaolong's words, the expression on Leon's face changed instantly.

Suddenly he froze there, and he suddenly understood that this assault was actually a conspiracy.

And the audience all understood that such a huge contrast made Leon unacceptable, and at the same time, it also made the audience feel angry all of a sudden.

Liang Xiaolong suddenly reversed: "You can't help it, you're dead!"

Leon became calm at this moment, his eyes changed from a trace of worry to calm, calm and frightening.

Chen Tian let the camera push a close-up of his face here, and Leon's expression perfectly showed his mood at the moment.

"Don't make a noise!"

Without a trace of emotion, the words accompanied by the gun against Liang Xiaolong's temple.

Boom!

A gunshot rang out, and blood splattered.

Liang Xiaolong's face was full of disbelief, and then the whole person fell down stiffly.

And Leon's transformation of face and expression here is really outstanding. So much so that the audience ignored his poor film selection vision and performance in recent years.

However, God and Leon's character played a joke. He wanted to commit suicide, and he was very touching in close-ups. But he didn't die.

Donnie Yen and Zhang Zhen found evidence of corruption deals between the police and drug lords, and Donnie Yen, with the help of Zhang Zhen, escorted Leon to the door of the building, and the police who got off the plane were only the regressive and injured policemen played by Donnie Yen and An Zhijie.

"One thing I know for sure, I'll protect you down there!

But are you sure that in your society you can protect me?" said Zhang Zhen, who was full of trauma, and his smile looked a little terrifying under the wound that had not yet scabbed.

"They're going to come and raze this place to the ground!"

"We were gone long before they came!"

Accompanied by the sound of music, the close-up shot showed Zhang Zhen's footsteps.

"Same reason you wear a uniform!"

Under the soundtrack. The close-up gives a close-up of the two brothers.

"It's just right!"

After saying this, Zhang Zhen turned around.

The two brothers turned their backs to each other, one towards the main exit, the other towards the building.

Under the soundtrack, the camera close-up was given from Zhang Zhen, who played his younger brother, to Donnie Yen.

As the three of them exited the gate, the iron gate slowly closed.

Under the music, "TheRaid: Redemption" is played on the subtitles.

Slowly, the music sounded, and the screen turned black, and the names of all the cast and crew and the company were typed out in white font.

It forms a strong contrast with the ink style at the beginning, and the audience in each theater is reminiscing about the excitement of the film while listening to the music.

The music came to an end. All the fonts on the black screen slid out, and it ended in what everyone thought was a qiē.

AJustinCHENFILM!

Words flew out. It was like a seal on the screen.

It was more like a heavy thunderbolt hitting everyone's hearts again, making the memories in their minds more profound, and the blood that had cooled down suddenly felt the boiling again.

Syllable!

Syllable!

Syllable!

The lights in the theater were all turned on at once, and the light in the screening room was restored.

On the front screen, AJustinCHENFILM stays there, and Richie doesn't have the urge to pee at the moment.

"Great, this is the best movie I've ever seen, this is the movie that men should see, go to other action movies in TM, this is an action movie!" Richie shouted with a whistle.

Rich's words immediately caused everyone else in the screening room to shout one by one.

"yes, this TM is an action movie, I like that feeling, f...... uck!”

"Justin didn't let me down, this is the best action movie!"

Such conversations took place in various screening halls in North America, and Chen Tian, who was sitting in the third row of the screening room, laughed as he listened to the dialogue behind him.

Ivanka on the side seemed to see something, and quickly glanced over.

And Roger Albert, who is far away in Chicago, agrees with the audience's most subconscious evaluation, and Chen Tian not only did not disappoint him this time, but also shocked him extremely much.

If Chen Tian's previous films except for "The Queen Wears Prada" seem to be a bit niche and pursue the ultimate in a certain aspect to impress some fans, then this "Raid" completely overturned everyone's conclusion about Chen Tian.

In this one alone, Roger Albert believes that Chen Tian is not a film that the public likes, and he is full of confidence in Chen Tian's "League of Assassins", even if the cost of this "Raid" is not even a fraction of that of "League of Assassins".

"Joshua, thank you for the invitation, it's the best action movie I've ever seen, and I think I'll always remember this film and always remember tonight. ”

Connie Carly's words made Joshua Stanley feel that everything was worth it, and Chen Tian didn't know that one of his "raids" became the reason why a man and a woman managed to come together.

"We should leave too, Justin, I really want a close-up, God doesn't know it's me who flew the plane!" David Ellison said, looking at the empty screening room, a little depressed.

"If I see you, the film will be ruined!" Ivanka quipped with a laugh.

Chen Tian and his entourage left the screening hall last, and at this time, people who entered the theater could hear praise for "Raid" everywhere. On the other side, the audience walking out of the "Hero" screening hall cannot be compared with the "Raid" side.

"Dude. You should check out The Raid. It's more realistic than Heroes, but a reminder that it's best not to drink too much water, or you'll be in trouble. ”

"Yes, there was just a buddy who was sent away!"

"Sent away?"

"Yes, he drank too much water, but the film was so good that he couldn't bear not to go to the toilet.

As a result, a little after the film ends. He went to the toilet and fell and ruptured his bladder, which is dangerous!"

Chen Tian was stunned, although he was looking forward to the effect of the film being so exciting that the audience couldn't leave, he didn't want such an accident to happen because of it.

"Man, can you ask, is what you said true?" Chen Tian walked up.

"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes, less than thirty seconds after the ambulance left, and everyone here knew about it.

How could I be telling a lie, you haven't seen it......" The big man who spoke was stunned for a moment.

"Oh my God. You're Justin Chen?"

Seeing the sudden change in the other party's expression, Chen Tian smiled: "Man." I'm Justin Chen. ”

"I'm so lucky to have met a real person!"

Chen Tian was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect a big man to be so enthusiastic.

Scarlett watched Chen Tian being hugged tightly by a man, covered her mouth and laughed.

And Ivanka on the side was the same, but Scarlett's eyes caught a glimpse of Ivanka's eyes.

"Now I think I should go to the hospital, after all, I caused it. Chen Tian looked at everyone inquiringly.

Scarlett said firmly: "I will definitely accompany you!"

"I'm the lead actor, although I'm not that good. ”

"Leon, I'm not worse yet. David Ellison said as he looked at Leonardo.

Megan Ellison nodded: "I agree, but don't you have any other ideas Justin, since this qiē has already happened?"

Chen Tian laughed: "Megan, what do you mean this can also be used as a propaganda, right?"

"Don't you think so?" asked Megan Ellison rhetorically.

"Well, I didn't have it just now, and now I have, although I don't want that to happen.

But since it happened, why don't we give a little bit at the same time as we give our hearts. ”

In a capitalist society, in an extremely competitive and complex Hollywood, Chen Tian knows that as long as there is an opportunity, he needs to seize it, otherwise no one will send you to pity you.

This accident was very unexpected, but since it happened, it can be used for publicity.

Chen Tian believes that even if he is not guided, the media may guide this matter, although the direction of guidance is negative.

As Chen Tian thought, some media outlets slammed "The Raid" after the film screening for being too bloody and even losing some authenticity.

Because it is too bloody, it can attract a sense of anticipation in people's hearts, and it is likely to lead to more fights in society.

And Richie, who ruptured his bladder because he held urine in the AMC theater in Los Angeles, is the most obvious example, because it was too bloody to attract him.

Miramax's PR went into action overnight, unlike some media outlets that used Rich to make negative reports.

Miramax focuses on the accident that occurs because the film is excellent and there is no urine spot in the whole process, and such an accident directly shows how good the film is.

Today is the world premiere of "The Raid", but it will only be released in North America.

It will be released in 65 countries and regions around the world this Friday, and then other countries and regions will be introduced one after another.

As a Sino-US co-production, "Raid" is not in the next batch of 65 countries and regions to be released, "Raid" will be officially released in China on National Day, almost a month later than the United States, which makes Chinese fans extremely depressed.

Such a schedule arrangement in China is completely in demand for the box office of the film, after all, the summer vacation schedule is coming to an end.

Although China has not yet formed various festival schedules as in later generations, the seven-day National Day holiday is a good opportunity for "Raid".

However, the competition in this year's Chinese National Day schedule is quite fierce, and it was previously rumored by the media that "Raid" was starred by Jackie Chan, but in the end, it was not done.

This time, "Raid" will stage a peak showdown with Chen Tian. Jackie Chan's police and bandit action film "New Police - Investigation Story" was released a week before the National Day.

September 24 also happens to be a Friday. And "Raid", which is also an action movie, will be released simultaneously on this day.

Both films are action films. "New Police Story" has the foreshadowing of previous works, and it also has the name of Jackie Chan as a guarantee.

In contrast, there is no one of Chen Tian's works that have been released in China at present, and he can only rely on the resources sent back from abroad on the Internet, and his popularity and influence are far inferior to Jackie Chan.

"Raid" has also become Chen Tian's first film officially released in China, but fortunately, Chen Tian's Oscars and this co-production have caused a great sensation in China, but even so, the direct confrontation with Jackie Chan's new film still makes most Chinese media not optimistic.

What's more, four days later, another Chinese heavyweight director Wong Kar-wai's new film "2046" will premiere in the mainland, and "Harry Potter 3: Prisoner of Azkaban", which has swept the North American and global box office, will also be released on the Chinese National Day schedule.

Also released at the same time is the Hollywood film "King Arthur". and the main theme movies "Zhang Side" and "Zheng Peimin".

In contrast, Chen Tian is not very worried about "King Arthur", after all, in North America, "King Arthur" has poor results, and "King Arthur", which costs as much as $120 million, only got $50 million this summer.

There is still a month before the National Day schedule in China, which does not hinder the confidence of the domestic media in China that the box office of the National Day schedule has set a new record in history.

Chen Tian will also fly back to China three days before the release to promote "Raid".

Chen Tian attaches great importance to the promotion and release of "Raid" in China at that time, so the publicity plan has already been thought of.

In the face of a strong enemy, Chen Tian hopes to really hype up his popularity in China with one shot, which opens the way for the later films, which is the most important thing.

As the night wore on, Scarlett pillowed Chen Tian's arm. Holding Chen Tian and falling asleep.

And a large number of fans are happy to discuss "The Raid" and write film reviews. Discussing the fights in "The Raid".

Joshua Stanley, who had been on a near-perfect first date, returned home and thought about it for a long time and logged into his IMDB account.

Joshua wrote in the comment section: "This is a film that makes your blood boil just by thinking about it, and this is a film that is enough to make your blood burn for a hundred minutes."

I can't think of any reason not to give it a very good idea, "The Raid" defines the new order of action movies!"

After the score, Joshua lay on the bed and reminisced about what happened tonight.

"Justin didn't cheat, it's an action movie in the absolute sense of the word!"

"It's no exaggeration. ”

"I love films like this, long live Justin. ”

"There's no one who doesn't like it, it's the best action movie I've ever seen. ”

……

There were a lot of comments below Joshua's comments, and at first glance they were almost all good, and only a few gave bad reviews.

The number of IMDB ratings has climbed from 100 to 10,000, and the rating has reached a terrifying 9.3.

Although 9.3 was the original rating, the highest IMDB rating today is 9.2.

This score is held by "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Godfather", two super-classic films, followed by "The Godfather 2" with a score of 9.0.

This is also the only three films in the entire IMDB with a score of more than 9 points, and Chen Tian's previous IMDB highest-rated film "This Man from Earth" maintained a score of 8.5.

A score of 8.5 points is currently ranked 32nd in the IMDB all-time overall rating list, and at the moment, an action movie like "Raid" has actually scored 9.3 points.

For such a rating, it almost made the staff on duty on the IMDB website suspect that the system was malfunctioning.

But after checking, they found out that it was not a problem with the system, but that all the ratings were real.

And the number of ratings is still increasing, and the number of comments is also increasing.

It wasn't until 2:30 a.m. that the number of ratings and comments almost stopped growing, and IMDB technicians continued to check the exact situation.

At the moment, the number of ratings barely exceeds 20,000, and you must know that such a rating is still when the film is released on Monday and weekdays.

Under the rating of 20,000 people, the rating of "Raid" is still maintained at a super high score of 9.1 points.

"It's crazy, isn't it really that good-looking?" Lewis, an IMDB technician, sighed as he looked at the number of reports.

With the arrival of a new day, many people are excited because they watched the film last night and have difficulty falling asleep, so they start their day's work with dark circles under their eyes.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the box office of "Raid", which was selected to be released on Monday weekdays, was also officially released.

11.95 million!

Neither Eric Lomis nor Chen Tian himself could believe the number on the page in front of them, and the editors of The Hollywood Reporter, who were waiting for an update on the box office, were equally wide-eyed.

"Hero", which ranked second, is less than two million, and the subsequent films have not exceeded one million box office in a single day.

"The Strongest Action Movie in History - North America Opens Monday Record, Broken!" - This is the first news headline on the homepage of the official website updated by The Hollywood Reporter. (To be continued......)
