Chapter 184: Shocking Viewing Experience (Part II)
The incomparably powerful Mr. X died like this, and everyone knew that it was the mysterious man on the other end of the phone who harvested his life, and the film set up a huge suspense in less than ten minutes after the opening. Just as the audience was speculating, slow motion began to replay the trajectory of the bullet. From piercing Mr. X's head, disjointing in the air like a rocket, and finally returning to the chamber of the shooter, everyone can see how this peerless sky sniper is accomplished.
It wasn't until they saw the face of the middle-aged man behind the special sniper rifle that everyone realized that the real boss of the film was this guy who was not good-looking, but could take someone's surname thousands of miles away.
The audience is still unsatisfied, but the picture of the film once again turns back to the mediocre life of the actor Wesley. The torture of the female boss and the betrayal of his girlfriend, his life can be described as terrible.
The handsome young man in everyone's impression is gone, and Lin Mingyang in the film has completely reduced to a plain and mediocre guy in terms of expression and dress. Although this role is depressing, fans also have to admit that Lin Mingyang's acting skills are becoming mature, and the most powerful proof is that Wesley in the picture has completely forgotten that his actor is a shining star.
It's okay if life is a mess, but the main character, Wesley, actually suffers from severe anxiety and has to rely on medication to make ends meet. He endures oppression from his boss in the company, while his colleague Barry is cheating on his girlfriend, leaving his wallet at Wesley's home. When the audience saw the two of them checking out in the supermarket, and after Barry found that his wallet was lost, Wesley offered to help him pay, but the other party actually attached a box of condoms, and everyone wanted to smash Wesley's nose.
Knowing that Barry was cheating with his girlfriend, he was indifferent, and such a man was unanimously despised by the audience. This dreary plot makes even the audience feel a little depressed, and just when everyone's patience is about to reach the limit, the mysterious man who killed Mr. X appears in the camera, as if he is following Wesley.
Wesley discovered the problem at the supermarket checkout, and when he turned around, the long-awaited Angelina Jolie made a stunning appearance. With a cold surname, she wears delicate smoky makeup, and there is a dangerous aura all over her body.
There are many male audiences in the cinema who bought tickets for Angelina Jolie, and as soon as they saw her appear, they immediately cheered up. Other fans have a hunch that Jolie's appearance will bring the whole story to a new stage, and Wesley may soon say goodbye to this dull life.
Sure enough, the mysterious Julie told Wesley that she knew his father, but sadly he died on the roof of the Metropolitan Building yesterday. Wesley himself was a little confused, but viewers who had seen the previous relationship naturally associated him with Mr. X. Then the whole story becomes clear, the mysterious man betrayed the mysterious organization that Wesley's father belonged to, he killed Wesley's father, and followed Wesley in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
Viewers who watch a little more carefully will have a little doubt in their hearts, since that mysterious man is so powerful, it should be easy to kill Wesley, judging from his style of using four killers as bait and sniping Mr. X, the first time he saw Wesley, he should not hesitate to do it, instead of waiting for that organization to send someone to protect Wesley.
Under the powerful theorem of the protagonist's immortality, people with this doubt attribute the reason to the negligence of the plot design, and they don't have time to think about it carefully, because the fierce shootout in the film suddenly opens, and before Julie's words are finished, she holds Wesley under her and shoots the mysterious man in the supermarket container.
The two bullets collided in the air, Julie dragged Wesley to take the opportunity to hide behind the container, and then under the cover of obstacles, she took out a more sophisticated corner sighting device from her bag, and was about to shoot, but the mysterious man fired first, and the bullet passed through the shelf, through the poster posted on the top of the container, and passed Julie.
It was discovered that the mysterious man was using the mirrors in the supermarket to determine his position, and Julie fired a series of shots, shattering the mirrors. As she took aim, Wesley broke free of her grip and ran out of the supermarket, running aimlessly down the street.
The mysterious man who came out in hot pursuit jumped onto a truck transporting pets and drove after Wesley. Seeing that a cornered Wesley was about to be hit by an oncoming truck, Julie, who drove a red Dodge Viper, told Rush Out that when she opened the passenger seat, the audience was still speculating about how she would get Wesley into the car.
The director of the film once again used his wild imagination, Julie made a beautiful 360-degree sudden braking drift, not only successfully picked up Wesley, who was holding his head to death, into the car, but also successfully dodged the impact of the truck. The audience in the cinema had seen too many thrilling stunts, but this shot still made their mouths grow in surprise.
The mysterious man naturally won't stop there, and the chase scene that follows can be described as thrilling, driving in the opposite direction, speeding the car, and crazy interjection, these scenes that should appear in the car movie are not left behind in the film. But even so, they still couldn't get rid of each other. The two sides exchanged fire in the chase.
Finding that fighting back from the window had little effect, Julie made an even more frantic move, smashing the windshield of the sports car with a gun and then lifting it all open. She let Wesley hold the steering wheel, but she lay on the front lid of the car and shot backwards.
Originally, this kind of unbelievable action and fierce firefight had already seen the audience's enthusiasm, and the director of the film added a shot full of ambiguous hints at this time. Julie lies on the front car cover and shoots, those two smooth thighs are attractive enough, and Wesley, who is sandwiched between her feet, has a panoramic view of the scenery under her skirt, which is not a restrictive picture, but it leads to countless reveries from the audience.
Wesley spun the steering wheel to avoid an oncoming bus, and the miraculous bullet turned in the hands of the mysterious man, and he fired two bullets in succession to bypass the bus that blocked the view, and hit the rear wheel of Julie's sports car.
A large number of police cars have laid many roadblocks at the intersection, and Julie and Wesley seem to have reached a desperate situation, and after getting used to the director's unbelievable and unbridled imagination, the audience is naturally looking forward to Julie's "amazing move" again.
Julie did not disappoint everyone, and instead of slowing down, she returned to the driver's seat, but accelerated and then drifted rapidly, and the whole car flipped into the air after slamming into the barricade, and in the stunned gaze of a police officer, she flipped over in the air and knocked over a passing passenger car from the side.
At the moment when the bus fell to the ground, Julie stepped on the accelerator, and the sports car sped out from the side of the bus, and after falling to the ground, she fell dizzy, and in the surprised eyes of passers-by, Julie drove away with the sports car that kept falling apart.
If this weren't in the cinema, it is estimated that some people would be unable to help but wave their arms excitedly and shout, because this set of scenes of the car chase is so exciting. The only regret is that the camera was not played back, and everyone only remembered the color of the car in the exciting chase scene, but did not see clearly what brand of sports car Julie was driving.
This suspense remained in the hearts of many viewers, and after the DVD release of the film, fans decided that the sports car was a new concept car of the Dodge Viper series after careful research. In this big-name action movie, they didn't choose the kind of high-end sports car to attract attention, but chose the more civilian Dodge Viper series.
Compared with the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Corvett, the Dodge Viper may be slightly immature, but it is more youthful, the Viper series continues to inherit the essence of American sports cars, with the pursuit of the level of racing car control, and strives to create a top-level civilian sports car, the roaring engine in the film confirms the Viper's classic motto: "Displacement is irreplaceable!" Although it was just a glimpse, it left a very deep impression on the audience.
The plot has developed to this point, in fact, many viewers have already guessed the plot behind, Wesley was taken to a strange place, in the case of a threat to his life, the potential in Wesley's body was stimulated, and he only knew at this time that his anxiety disorder turned out to be a unique ability.
Wesley's heart beats 400 times per second, and his blood is filled with adrenaline, which makes him more observant and reflexive than anyone else. That's why he was able to shoot off the wings of flies with bullets in that state.
Hollywood movies are like that, they always like to put a plausible scientific explanation for superpowers, anyone who knows a little common sense will know that this explanation is ridiculous, but film directors are still happy to repeat the same work.
Wesley, who had always thought he was ordinary, was suddenly told that he was no longer ordinary, and that he was very unique, which was naturally unacceptable for a while, and he chose to escape. Under the persecution of the company's female boss, the original cowardly and bullying Wesley's inner strength was finally stimulated, and he heartily scolded his mean female boss, took off all her hypocritical masks, and mocked her shortcomings nakedly.
Finally, Wesley shouted in front of everyone in the office, "Go eat!" All the audience's previous depressed perception of him was swept away, and everyone felt a kind of joy in their hearts. And the scene where Wes used the keyboard to slap Barry made everyone applaud.
took off his dull and dull glasses, and on Wesley, who strode out of the door of the company, the familiar Lin Mingyang finally returned. Riding in Julie's car, Wesley joined the Brotherhood, a secret society that had existed for a thousand years, where he trained to unleash hidden energies and avenge his father's death.
Under the guidance of a group of highly skilled and talented mentors, including Sloane, the enigmatic leader of the Brotherhood, Wesley begins to be fascinated by his untapped potential, but gradually realizes that behind these dangerous companions lies hidden secrets that cannot be seen by the naked eye, especially when carrying out assassination missions, the nobility and purity of the original are gone.
Wesley meets his father's killer, who kills a member of the Brotherhood and escapes. Wesley vows to kill the other party with his own hands, but at this time, Wesley's name appears on the loom that indicates the target of the killing, and Julie is in charge of the mission.
Seeing this, the audience, who had already made a clear judgment on the development of the plot, was confused again, could it be that there was another truth in the matter? The audience in the movie theater watched with deep confusion as Wesley faced off on the train against his father's killer.
In order to carry out the mission, Julie drove into the train, and the mysterious man tried to shoot Julie several times, but was stopped by Wesley's shooting, and the two sides engaged in a fierce fight, and finally the train braked urgently on the bridge, and the body fell off the cliff. When he fell off the cliff, the mysterious man grabbed Wesley, who was about to fall off the cliff, at a critical moment, but Wesley shot him without hesitation.
The mysterious man used his last strength to tell Wesley the truth about the matter, and it turned out that he was Wesley's father. Wesley was used from beginning to end, and blinded by hatred, he killed his own father with his own hands.
Seeing this, everyone suddenly realized that everything was a conspiracy. After confirming everything from Julie, a desperate Wesley smashed the window of his car and fell off a cliff with his father's corpse, eventually falling into the river at the bottom of the canyon.
When he woke up again, he found himself lying in the place where his father had lived, and the old priest who rescued him told him everything he knew, and finally gave Wesley a bank card to live a normal life, which was Wesley's father's wish before his death.
As he prepares to leave, Wesley discovers his father's studio hidden in his closet, where he finds his father's plan to destroy the Brotherhood's lair. Wesley, who was always used to escaping from life, did not choose to back down this time, and he followed his father's plan and entered the headquarters of the Brotherhood.
Although the scene of rats scurrying around at the beginning made many female viewers in the movie theater a little disgusted, then Wesley entered the castle alone, and the action was extremely cool. Using his body's reaction speed and sensory advantages, Wesley's way of killing people can be called clean.
Almost every movie will stage this kind of decisive battle at the end, with a male protagonist who is one against a hundred to show his might, and finally kill the enemy. Such a plot once firmly occupied the mainstream of the screen, and made the audience enthusiastic to watch. But after watching too much, the audience can't help but wonder, why can't the enemy's bullets hit the protagonist? Why does the protagonist never run out of bullets in his hand?
So now film directors are smarter, and they will hurt the main character, which can increase the realism of the film; And the gun in the protagonist's hand is out of bullets, so that a hand-to-hand combat scene can be arranged as a matter of course... Beckman Betov is also in the ranks, but he is clearly more creative and thoughtful than other directors. In the final battle, Lin Mingyang's performance brought the essence of gun boxing to the extreme.
The gun in his hand does not run out of bullets, but in the process of killing the opponent, someone else's gun will become his gun, and as long as the enemy is not dead, he will have a steady supply of ammunition. Such an ingenious arrangement not only increases the reasonable surname of the film, but also creates good conditions for Lin Mingyang to play with guns.
The perfect combination of gunnery and fighting, the bloody and violent killing scenes, and the combination of fast and slow lens cutting, all of this not only brings visual impact to the audience, but also brings an ultimate psychological pleasure.
The little minion on the lowest floor was killed by Wesley played by Lin Mingyang in this way, and after completing this feat, he himself was only slightly shot in the arm. The guns and bullets in his hands were finally used up, so after encountering the killer butcher on the second floor, a life-and-death fight ensued. During the filming of this section, director Beckman Betov temporarily changed the script, and in order to show the ultimate violence, the scene was changed to a butcher being beaten to death by Lin Mingyang with his fists.
Although he is accustomed to the bloody and violent scenes of this film, the part where Lin Mingyang beats the butcher to death with his fist after going crazy still makes many timid female viewers cover their eyes, and although the male audience does not remove their eyes from the screen, their eyes are also full of horror.
Wesley, who was bruised and bruised, ended up surrounded by elite killers of the "Brotherhood", and he revealed Sloane's conspiracy to everyone, but the scheming Sloan told everyone an even more cruel truth, everyone present, the name appeared on the loom, according to the Brotherhood's belief, everyone here should be killed.
Under the temptation of Sloane, the group of killers all chose to cooperate with him, but Fox, played by Julie, made a move that surprised everyone at the end. The bullet came out of her gun, but the target was not Wesley.
Throughout the film, Julie's signature silver pistol left a deep impression on the audience, and the pattern on the handle of the gun can be connected to the tattoo veins on her hand. The poster for the early promotion of the film has a close-up of her face holding this pistol, and everyone is no stranger to this gun.
The arc bullet trajectory that has been used as a visual effect in this film finally has a chemical effect with the plot at the end of the film. It is also the most beautiful picture of suicide or self-sacrifice after a murder. A bullet followed a beautiful circular trajectory, hitting the other man's temple first, and finally sending the shooter to fateful death.
Sloane, who escaped from the chaos, did not escape the fate of death in the end, and it was another peerless sniper, Wes used his father's method of sniping Mr. X to successfully introduce Sloan into the trap, and he only had time to say "**", and bullets erupted from his eyebrows.
