Chapter 529: Controversial Work [One Update]
The screening room was very quiet, and the reflections on the screen illuminated the faces of the audience in the front rows.
On the screen, Zhai Long was holding the phone, he was very worried that his daughter had not called him for so long to ask for safety, and no one answered the first call, and he was even more nervous at this time.
The audience was also infected by this emotion and involuntarily began to worry about the girl.
The name of the movie is "Hurricane Rescue", so everyone knows that the girl will definitely have an accident, otherwise there will be no way to talk about rescue.
Finally, the phone was connected, and on the other end was Li Ruoxun's slightly impatient and sorry voice, she whispered the reason, and then wanted to say sorry to her father, but at this time, Li Ruoxun's low voice suddenly turned into a scream, and she shouted that someone was coming to arrest her.
This scene appeared very suddenly, and many viewers did not react, which is a characteristic of Wu Yusen's movie, at first, he did not explain the identities of the characters in it, and then told you the truth in the progress of the plot.
After seeing the protagonist's daughter kidnapped, the audience was anxious, but Zhai Long on the screen calmed down, he held the phone in his hand tighter, and he was also nervous, but at the moment he was thousands of miles away, and he could hardly do anything.
Zhai Long did not panic as the audience imagined, did not complain, did not fear, did not accuse, but calmly acted quickly, plugged in the tape recorder, gently soothed his panicked daughter, and firmly told her the method of action. He said you have to say out loud the characteristics of the people who come in, and you have to give your full attention. In the end, he made a promise to his daughter. He said. You can rest assured. I will definitely bring you back.
The daughter was eventually dragged out from under the bed, and the gangsters snatched the phone from her.
At this moment, Zhai Long's face with the phone in his hand was mixed with the pain of being a father and the calmness of being an agent, and he said to the gangster on the other end of the phone in a calm and serious tone: "I don't care who you are, and I don't care what you do with my daughter, if you want ransom, I can tell you clearly, I have no money." But I have some tricks I've learned from my long career, and they're the nightmare of people like you, so what you have to do now is let her go right away, and if it doesn't, I'll find you and kill you all!" ”
The other party replied with a "good luck", his voice low and hoarse, cold and full of ridicule.
Zhou Yimin grabbed Lin Youlun's hand and stared at the screen nervously. She knew that the protagonist's daughter would definitely be fine, but she was still inevitably worried.
Before the kidnapping of the daughter. The retired SWAT officer played by Zhai Long is polite to his colleagues, his ex-wife, and his daughter's stepfather. Although he has a good kung fu, he is definitely a tolerant and gentle person, but this gentle man completely changed his face the moment his daughter was kidnapped. He listened to "Good luck" over and over again, and with limited clues, he came to Paris and began to track down the black hand who kidnapped his daughter.
In the next plot, the audience spent time in a thrilling and tense view, Zhai Long was tracking down the traffickers, the whole plot was quite compact, and none of the slow motion that Wu Yusen's favorite in the movie appeared in, which surprised many viewers who are familiar with Wu Yusen's directorial style.
There are no big shootouts and tug-of-war hand-to-hand combat, every shot is lethal and crisp.
If you can use a gun, you don't need a fist, and if you can kill the opponent with one move, you will never use a second move, this kind of movie close to the actual combat style is not like John Woo's work, but more like the "Jingwu Hero" released some time ago, and it is more realistic.
Wu Yusen's eyes were fixed on Zhai Long's neat skills on the screen, and the expression on his face seemed to be helpless and a little thoughtful.
In this movie, Wu Yusen actually got a storyboard script, so the whole shooting process is "reading from the script". The action scenes in the film were all designed by Yuan Heping according to Lin Youlun's practical style, Wu Yusen was not particularly satisfied with this, but he had an agreement with Lin Youlun in advance, and the script would be filmed how to write, so he had no choice but to accept it.
Looking at this film from the perspective of Wu Yusen's violent aesthetics, the simple and direct actions lack formal beauty, but at this moment he is sitting in the screening hall as an audience, but it is a different feeling.
This simple and rough action design, after being combined with the depth of the plot, brings a completely different kind of fast to the audience. Feel.
In a house with a red gate, the trafficker that Zhai Long caught and said to him on the phone, "Good luck", and then didn't talk much nonsense, and stuck two big steel nails into his legs as soon as he came up.
It was originally a very bloody and cruel scene, but the audience was very happy to watch it, because in the process of Zhai Long's previous investigation, the crimes committed by the traffickers were unbearable to look at, and everyone felt that this guy deserved it.
Why is there a movie where only the bad guys torture the good guys, and there is no good guy tormenting the bad guys?
Therefore, when Zhai Long said to the trafficker, "We talked on the phone two days ago, and I said that I would come to you", and then the surprise and fear flashed in the trafficker's eyes, and the audience was extremely happy when they saw it.
One is a hard-mouthed kidnapper who was electrocuted by the electric chair and cried and begged for mercy and said don't press the switch again, Zhai Long said while walking out, I believe in you, but this is not enough for me to let you go, this scene made many female viewers look at the stars.
At this moment, Zhai Long on the screen, his momentum and appearance must not be inferior to Zhou Yanfa who lit a cigarette with banknotes in "The True Color of Heroes".
At the end of the film, Zhai Long passed all the way and killed in front of the old rascal who bought and filmed his daughter's first night right, and the old rascal had put a knife on his daughter's neck, so that he put on an innocent face and planned to negotiate very euphemistically, and said to Zhai Long: "I think, we can ......"
He should have wanted to say that we can talk, give you money, give you a lot of compensation, or you kill me, I will apologize in the report, and I will compensate your daughter for all the losses, anyway, just spare my dog's life...... It's a pity that before he finished speaking, what answered him was a "touch" gunshot.
Zhai Long fulfilled what he said on the phone and even more traffickers, everyone who participated in the kidnapping of her daughter would die!
The audience is not surprised by this ending, in fact, in the film, Zhai Long has killed many people along the way in order to rescue his daughter, many of them are even pure victims, among them is a security guard or something, while covering his wounds, he said that what you know is just business, you and I have no personal grudges, so let me go. Zhai Long looked at him and said, now we have it. Then several shots were fired.
Zhai Long was merciless to these "innocent people", but this not only did not make the audience feel cold-blooded, but everyone saw more deeply the love of this character for his daughter interpreted by Zhai Long.
When he saw this, Wu Yusen couldn't help but glance at Lin Youlun sitting there, all this should have been expected by him, right?
——
After the release of "Hurricane Rescue", the box office exceeded 15 million in a week, but the subsequent film evaluation showed two extremes.
"Zhai Long has a broad back and a deep voice, which is very suitable for playing this kind of good father role. Subtle and majestic, he looked at his daughter every second, his eyes were so gentle and kind. When he said, 'I can sacrifice everything for my daughter,' I saw in his eyes that it wasn't a lie, he did what he said...... It's the first time that an action commercial movie can give me such a shock. Either way, I could add another one to my list of favorite movies. ”
"I see that many people recommend that audiences with daughters must watch this movie, I think it's ridiculous, what do they want the daughters of these audiences to watch, envy the girl in the film for having a super invincible father, and then compare it with their own father in reality, and suddenly feel that their father is very useless? In order to save his daughter, the protagonist kills indiscriminately, doesn't he realize that he has also destroyed countless families by doing so. ”
Li Ruoxun was wearing thin pajamas, sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a lot of newspapers in front of her, as long as there was an evaluation of the movie "Hurricane Rescue", she specially selected it, and then carefully read it one by one.
The biggest controversy in the newspapers about the movie "Hurricane Rescue" is that the protagonist should not kill so many people in the process of rescuing his daughter.
Supporters believe that this is true, and if the protagonist kills one less person, it may hinder his actions to save his daughter. Opponents criticize the protagonist for being inhumane, and that many of the people he kills are not guilty of death, which is actually a form of indiscriminate killing of innocents.
Li Ruoxun read many newspapers in a row, all of which were critical views, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"Those who say that people don't deserve to die must be sanctimonious hypocrites, if your daughter is kidnapped and forced to sell. Lewd, can you still talk about humanity with gangsters so calmly? Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Li Ruohun said angrily.
She was the only one in the room, so she actually said this to herself, but she didn't expect her mother to suddenly push open the door at this time, poke her head in, and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Who were you talking to?"
"No, did you hear me wrong?"
Li Ruoxun lied in front of his mother, then lowered his head and quietly stuck out his tongue.
Mother Li didn't notice Li Ruoxun's small movements, and stood at the door and urged: "There is your call, come out and answer it, it seems that the voice is Mr. Lin's." ”
A trace of hesitation flashed in Li Ruoxun's eyes, what did Lin Youlun call her for at this time? (To be continued......)
