After the premiere of the film in South Korea, a group of film critics were a little unsure of what to say for a while.
To say that this movie is wonderful, he is indeed wonderful! Hearty action scenes, tense to suffocating urgency. Chen Xueqian's use of light and shadow in film and his grasp of music have reached an impeccable level.
But this movie has one of the biggest drawbacks, that is, his plot is really too simple, and the sparse dialogue in the whole film makes people helpless. But if this movie is superficial, it doesn't seem right.
Because in the movie, when Chen Xueqian started a big counterattack, the dark side shown on every floor was so shocking. The brilliance of humanity that flickers from time to time makes it impossible to criticize.
And this part is also the difference between Chen Xueqian's version and his previous life.
The 90-minute fight in the previous life certainly made the film extremely violent, but it also made the audience feel a little aesthetic fatigue.
In this life, Chen Xueqian interspersed the description of the evil building in the fight, as well as the light of humanity shown by the police between life and death.
These intersperses were handled just right by Chen Xueqian. And the reason why he can think of the details that this movie in his previous life can't take into account is because the two were filmed in different eras, and Chen Xueqian has too much to learn from many classic and practical shots.
In this play, Chen Xueqian borrowed many scenes from a later Korean action movie.
However, even so, Chen Xueqian's movie is still not out of the category of action movies, and the shortcomings of too many fight scenes cannot be concealed.
From another point of view, this is actually Chen Xueqian's original intention, he didn't plan to make a feature film, he just wanted to make an action movie.
In addition, Chen Xueqian blurred the concept of the country in this movie, which makes the whole film a kind of surrealist thinking.
I have to say that in this movie, Chen Xueqian has a lot of his own thinking and design. As for the results, these Korean film critics feel that it is difficult for them to give a specific evaluation.
So on the second day of the premiere, countless fans looked for reviews about Chen Xueqian's new movie in various magazines with great anticipation, but found that they couldn't find any reviews about the movie after rummaging through various magazines.
If it weren't for the photos of Chen Hak-qian and Lee Kun-hee shaking hands in various newspapers, they would even mistakenly think that there was no media to attend the premiere of the film.
But fortunately, the movie will be officially released in a few days. For this reason, countless fans can't wait.
Before that, Chen Xueqian rushed back to China, because there were too many bloody scenes in this movie, so Chen Xueqian had to spend a lot of effort to make this movie pass the review smoothly.
And in the post-editing, for the domestic version, Chen Xueqian had already carried out special treatment, weakening some of the bloody scenes.
After a difficult PR process, Chen Xueqian's film was finally released in its entirety. For the mercy of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television this time, we must thank Chen Xueqian for his international fame and the slogan of the film to revitalize Chinese action movies.
With the release date of the film confirmed, Summit Entertainment immediately launched a full range of movie promotion.
In several countries where the first releases will be imminent, commercials for the film are flooding.
On May 1, China began the seven-day May Day holiday, and Chen Xueqian's new film was officially released in four countries.
Fans who have long been looking forward to this movie have also bought tickets to enter the cinema.
To be honest, as Chen Xueqian's various deeds spread in China, and many of his works have been released in Chinese, Chen Xueqian's popularity in China can be described as skyrocketing.
Just when the people were excited about his many great achievements in the world, a new movie by Chen Xueqian was released, and Chen Xueqian himself starred in it, which inevitably made everyone look forward to it.
It's just that while looking forward to it, everyone can't help but be a little worried, everyone believes in Chen Xueqian's level of filmmaking, but Chen Xueqian himself starred in action movies, no matter how you hear this news, it feels a little unreliable.
However, despite their doubts, many fans are willing to go into the cinema and catch a glimpse of the legend.
On May 1, the first day of the release of "Raid", the movie tickets were swept away by long-awaited fans in a short time.
Because of his status as a college student, Chen Xueqian has unprecedented appeal among students and other young people.
And Huo Xinyi also made an appointment with Zhang Xiaonan early to watch this movie in the cinema.
When Huo Xinyi rushed to the cinema in Golden Eagle Square that morning, she unexpectedly saw Zhang Yu standing with Zhang Xiaonan.
It was the first time that Huo Xinyi, who had met this tutor outside the school, greeted her slightly and politely, and then quietly glanced at Zhang Xiaonan and asked her what the situation was.
However, Zhang Xiaonan made a helpless gesture to her, indicating that he also met the other party by chance.
It's just that this kind of coincidence is not over, just when Huo Xinyi and the three of them were standing in one place with some embarrassment waiting for the movie to start, they met no less than ten former classmates in the movie theater, and many of them asked them curiously.
"You also came to see Chen Xueqian's movie, right? Who would have thought he would be so good in high school, you know? When I first saw his report, I was completely confused, and I told others that I was his high school classmate, but they still didn't believe it. By the way, aren't you in college with him? Did you see him in college? Do you have any contact information? One day, I'm going to take a picture with him for a dinner together, and my classmates' jaws will definitely drop. ”
Just when Huo Xinyi and the two were a little overwhelmed, the movie opened, and as everyone entered the scene, the two of them finally had a moment of purity.
Sitting in the seat, Zhang Xiaonan leaned into Huo Xinyi's ear and said, "Fortunately, they didn't recognize you as the goddess of Jinling, otherwise they would have to pull you to take pictures." ”
Regarding Zhang Xiaonan's ridicule, Huo Xinyi turned her head and ignored her, but in her heart, Huo Xinyi was actually quite fortunate that her popularity suddenly skyrocketed when she shot a promotional video for Jinling University, and after a period of time, it did cool down a lot as Chen Xueqian expected.
In addition, since entering 2006, Chen Xueqian has been frequently swiping the screen, which makes everyone's attention quickly attracted by him. This also accelerated the loss of Huo Xinyi's popularity, and she herself was overjoyed about it.
The two chatted in their seats for a while, and the movie officially began.
At the beginning of the movie, there is a close-up of a watch and a pistol, and then, Chen Xueqian appears in the picture, in which Chen Xueqian, with his short hair, sits quietly in the dark looking at a photo on the wall not far away, as well as a series of medals.
When a close-up is taken, as soon as the camera turns, there is a picture of him doing pull-ups with his topless body, looking at the muscles on his back, there was a burst of exclamations from the theater.
Immediately, his abdominal muscles as he did sit-ups triggered another exclamation.
After this scene, Chen Xueqian sat at the head of the bed with an affectionate face, looking at his wife lying on the bed, and the affection in his eyes seemed to be able to speak. This scene immediately caused the theater to exclaim again and again.
Of course, the reason for this effect is that Chen Xueqian in the lens has a kind of male style. After all, this is a world of faces.
After this shot, the scene cuts to an assault truck driving in the heavy rain, and when watching a group of police officers uniformly manipulate the submachine guns in their hands, this time it is the turn of the boys in the theater to exclaim.
Watching the iron-blooded temperament of the military inadvertently revealed in the movie made the adrenaline rush of many boys.
Soon, Billy Zhou, who played the captain, explained the purpose of the operation, and at the same time explained the general background in his lines.
Immediately, the police launched a swift sweep, but when they reached the sixth floor, the operation was revealed by a teenager.
What follows is the sudden darkness, when the police are trapped in the darkness without the slightest light, and the rapid soundtrack not only makes the atmosphere of the whole movie feel touched, but also mobilizes the audience's emotions to the extreme.
Finally, in the dark, a policeman couldn't stand this almost desperate atmosphere, so he fired a shot in a panic, but it was this shot that suddenly the bandits who were armed by the villain launched a fierce firefight.
For a while, the entire patio became a world of black and white light and shadow, the blooming gunfire carried a cold beauty, and the breathless music also made people's hearts feel as if they were blocked.
After the intense shootout, the surviving police officers took refuge in a room, isolated in the enemy camp.
watched the policemen in the movie being killed one by one by those cunning bandits, and Chen Xueqian and others were also forced into a desperate situation.
At this time, Chen Xueqian was in a hurry, put a gas cylinder into the refrigerator, and then pushed it to the door. A violent explosion followed.
At this time, Zhang Jing, who played one of the bandits, said to the leader: "If this continues, our building may be blown up." We should not afford this loss.
After listening to Zhang Jing's suggestion, the leader of the criminals ordered Zhang Jing and Wu Jing to go downstairs to clean up the mess and restrain his subordinates from continuing to use firearms.
Seeing this, Huo Xinyi and Zhang Xiaonan unconsciously held each other's hands tightly.
They are now completely driven by the plot of the movie. And a lot of people in the cinema are just like them. All my mind is on the movie. (To be continued.) )
