"Border Killer" was officially released in the mainland, and on Hong Kong Island, it was also released on March 26 in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

The new Malaysia and Thailand all rely on Shaw Brothers Cinemas.

There have been no Hollywood blockbusters recently, and "Border Killer" easily won the highest list.

In front of a Shaw Brothers cinema in Po Village, two middle-aged women grimace while eating ice cream.

One of them is Zhang Ziyi's agent Ji Lingling, and the other is Ji Lingling's good friend, named Chen Ming.

Both of them have passed the age of confusion, neither of them is married, they have no children, but they have a high income, a car and a house, and they belong to the leftover fighters.

At this age, Ji Lingling no longer expects love, he just wants to make money, and then live this life in style.

She rarely cares about other people's eyes in her life, and does whatever comes to her mind.

Just like now, the two middle-aged aunts eat ice cream and squeeze their eyebrows, but they actually feel tender.

But that's what she did.

"Watch a movie, I invite you to watch a movie, otherwise there will be no one to watch with you."

Ji Lingling finished eating the ice cream, threw the wrapping paper into the trash, and then invited his friends.

Chen Ming rolled his eyes at Ji Lingling, "The current movie is so ugly, I feel that going to the movie is a waste of money, so it is better to go home and watch the disc." ”

"Stay with me, Ziyi's new movie has been released, and I haven't seen it yet."

"What type of movie?"

"Police movies."

"It's a police movie again, Hong Kong Island movies will always be police movies, thirty years ago, and still is, I changed seven or eight boyfriends from a girl to an aunt, and every time I watch a police movie."

Ji Lingling laughed, "It's not from Hong Kong Island, it's from the mainland, let's go, follow me." ”

Although "Border Killer" won the Grand Jury Prize at the Las Palmas International Film Festival, and Zhang Ziyi, as well as her assistant, said that the film was very good.

However, Ji Lingling still planned to see for himself if it was really as good-looking as they said.

From the perspective of Zhang Ziyi's agent, she naturally hopes that the movie will be good-looking and have a good reputation, so that Zhang Ziyi can earn some popularity from passers-by.

Next, Zhang Ziyi broke up with the white man, and then found a high-quality mainland actor to fall in love, which may be able to greatly redeem the previous negative evaluation.

Ji Lingling has already thought of several sets of plans, which are completely determined based on the word-of-mouth box office of "Border Killer".

According to different situations, try to save Zhang Ziyi's popularity as much as possible.

After a while, the two of them entered the cinema, and the two of them found that the attendance rate of the cinema hall was quite high, and there were about sixty or seventy people sitting in the middle hall of three hundred people.

Ji Lingling was very surprised, she was a little skeptical that these were temporary workers invited by the movie theater.

Chen Ming has been living in Po Village, and he knows a little about the situation here, and said in a low voice: "You don't have to underestimate Li Shengyao, he has a good influence here." ”

"His previous TV series had good ratings in Pocun, and the movie reputation was very good, I heard that Pocun and Malay are both Li Shengyao's fan clubs, and there are tens of thousands of members on Facebook."

Some big directors will have fans, like Nolan, like Quentin.

Ji Lingling was a little surprised, she didn't expect Li Shengyao to have such fans.

Three minutes later, the movie officially began, just like Ji Lingling learned, this movie is a police movie.

It's a kind of film that girls hate more.

If it weren't for Zhang Ziyi's starring role, Ji Lingling would have turned around and left after holding on for less than three minutes.

At the beginning, Zhang Ziyi led his team members to clean up a drug den, the team was very professional, clean and neat, and very comfortable to watch.

It wasn't until the back that two team members pulled open the lid on a basement, detonated a bomb, and died in the line of duty.

In this part of the plot, except for the sacrifice of the last two policemen, the other parts are very cool, and the mood has always been upward.

The movie does not describe the relationship between the heroine and the two subordinates, and jumps directly to the heroine is very low, and wants to avenge the two subordinates, and she wants to exterminate this gang of drug dealers.

Chen Ming nodded and said in a low voice: "When I saw this, I knew that it was not a Hong Kong Island police movie." ”

"Oh, you get it again?"

"Of course, do we all know the routines of Hong Kong Island police movies? Either it's brotherhood, or it's for women, the police and the bad guys get mixed together, tangled and entangled, this movie is much cooler, and I skip it directly. ”

Next, the heroine joined the anti-drug special operations team, and they went to the Lao-Myanmar border city to escort small drug dealers, and the 12-minute escort scene.

Chen Ming's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but say: "This director is really powerful, this scene is so exciting, so cool." ”

The twelve-minute escort scene is very long, and the plot of the conflict behind is very short, with a total of enemies in three directions, a drug dealer with a car on the left and right, and a sneaky old Burmese black policeman.

The protagonists do not talk nonsense, do not hesitate, find something suspicious, immediately shoot, preemptively.

Then there is the third battle scene, the camera is always on the heroine's side, and when the protagonists are ready, they do it directly.

There are no emotional problems, no hesitation, no hesitation, no contradictions, no Virgin.

All the people are doing it when they face drug dealers.

Po Village is also prohibitive, and it is very strict, and the general view of the common people in this regard is similar to that of the mainland.

They believe that drug dealers are heinous people and that there is no need to preach morality to drug dealers.

Even if Ji Lingling and Chen Ming are women, they don't think that the movie is too cruel to deal with it like this.

Chen Ming was completely immersed in it at this time, "It's so cool, this movie is really cool, it's completely different from the previous Hong Kong Island police movies." ”

The vast majority of Hong Kong Island police and gangster films like to set up two male characters, and the positive and negative characters have similar scenes, to describe their contradictions and bonds.

And "Border Killer" is much more straightforward in this regard.

"Border Killer" either focuses on the heroine or the male protagonist, and there is very little portrayal of drug dealers.

The audience can't even get to know the character of the drug dealer.

But does it matter?

Of course, it doesn't matter, as long as you grasp the selling point, you can shape the plot in the desired direction.

Why does it have to be described as a flesh-and-blood drug dealer?

Hong Kong Island police and gangster films spend a lot of scenes, just to set up a big boss to make the final showdown more interesting.

But this set of plot settings is obviously outdated.

"Border Killer" has almost no description of drug dealers, just killing all the way through, attracting the audience with wonderful battle scenes and exciting rhythms.

The same is true for Hollywood's "Fast Pursuit" in the back, there is no need to engage in any two-hero drama, just crush it all the way.

In 2010, the setting of "Border Killer" was relatively new.

Chen Ming and Ji Lingling, two women who usually don't like to watch police movies, are very fascinated by watching them at this time.

After the movie, Chen Ming was still saying: "This movie is really cool, I haven't seen such a cool movie for many years." ”

Ji Lingling glanced at Chen Ming and breathed a long sigh of relief.

She knows that Chen Ming, an old woman, is usually very turtle-haired, and it is difficult to like a movie, even a woman like Chen Ming thinks it is cool, and ordinary audiences should like it even more.

In this case, the box office of "Border Killer" does not need to worry too much.
