Recently, a Korean drama suddenly came with a familiar face -
Fan Bingbing.
However, she does not play the main character, but as the main villain.
With a slight frown on his brow, he came up and asked:
"How do you do things?"
People don't talk much.
The beautiful and evil woman is set to pinch to death.
In fact, it is not only Bingbing that makes Chinese audiences familiar with the drama.
Some people say that in this Korean drama, we have seen the shadow of many classic Hong Kong films.
It has even mastered the core technology of Hong Kong films.
Today, Uncle Fish will talk about the recent hit 19 banned Korean dramas -
The Insider
Insider
With three Hong Kong films, you can basically summarize this Korean drama:
"Infernal Affairs" + "Prison Storm" + "God of Gamblers".
Yes, I have not seen hundreds of Hong Kong films, and I definitely can't produce such a book.
The male protagonist, Yao Han (played by Jiang Hena), a judicial trainee, is about to become a prosecutor.
Excellent grades, clean foundation, poor family.
The principals of the Ministry of Justice took a fancy to him.
Arrange for him to go undercover in prison to collect evidence to bring down corrupt and corrupt officials in the government.
Boss draws pie
Who knows, Yaohan has not yet stepped into prison with one foot.
The undercover plot was guessed by corrupt officials.
In order to destroy the evidence, the principal directly deleted Yaohan's undercover file after 3 seconds of internal struggle.
Since then, no one except the headmaster knows his true identity.
The boss crossed the river and demolished the bridge
Excellent trainees, rookie undercover, files were deleted.
After reading this, Wei Zai of "Infernal Affairs" also had to smile bitterly.
Secondly, the place where Yaohan goes undercover is very special.
Not gangsters, but prisons.
When I first arrived, the rookie did not know the rules.
The gangsters he had offended before were also imprisoned here.
Beatings are indispensable.
So, the first meal.
Second meal.
……
Nth.
Since entering the prison, Yaohan's injuries have not been broken.
A handsome face swollen like a pig's head every day.
This is not the way to go.
If you want to live here, you must find a backer.
Fortunately, opportunities are reserved only for those who are prepared.
Yaohan was favored by another black boss.
From then on, step by step, it will climb up.
Prison struggles, dark scenes, and survival in the cracks.
Brother Fa and Brother Hui of "Prison Storm" finished watching and beckoned.
Don't worry, it's not over yet.
In Hong Kong-made genre films, in addition to police bandits and prisons, there is also an important theme - gambling films.
The screenwriter gives full play to the traditional virtues of Chinese.
If there are no conditions, the conditions must be created.
An underground casino was installed directly in the prison.
The casino is divided into three levels.
In the first and second levels, all the gamblers are prisoners.
Used to select the best.
The third level, the VIP level, is full of celebrities and magnates who come to gamble.
The most powerful gambling criminal can become the casino operator.
If Yaohan wants to help the black boss, he must participate in the gambling game.
However, Yaohan had only played flower cards before.
Not good at Texas Hold'em.
As a rookie, he has lost many battles.
Scolded by the black boss every day.
Locked up in a small black room by prison guards.
Just when Yaohan fell into despair.
Suddenly, from the small dark room next door, came the voice of a "tall man".
"I can teach you gambling for free"
It seems that the screenwriter has not only seen "God of Gamblers", "Gamblers", and "Gamblers".
I should have also seen a lot of Jin Yong martial arts.
Otherwise, how can you write the classic passage of "the male protagonist falls off the cliff and has to teach the divine skill to the high man".
"Insider" doesn't just mix Hong Kong film settings.
I learned face, and I also learned lizi.
First, the pace is fast enough to fly.
Sometimes hilarious, sometimes suspenseful, plus cinematic texture.
Even if you set the routine, you still have a sense of immersion.
For example, the "supreme man" in the small black room was actually the subordinate of the VIP casino operator.
The people who spoke also took a fancy to Yaohan and wanted to recruit him as their right-hand man.
So, he was given a series of trainings.
The first lesson, fighting.
Yaohan was thrown directly into the dormitory of his nemesis.
Forced to progress in friction every day.
The second lesson is to come out of the old thousand.
Palm suck cards, sleeves hide cards.
These are all basic exercises.
As a result, Han Yaohan studied for half a day, but he didn't learn it.
Too late, go straight to the third lesson, internship.
Yaohan put on a suit and became a casino waiter.
Because of their good looks, they make the rich wives blue-eyed.
He often stole chips from his indescribable places with his own hands.
In one night, Yaohan earned millions of won.
The above informative content is only 10 minutes long.
Second, the plot reverses and reverses and reverses.
If you don't pay attention when watching, you may lose it after a few turns.
The little partner who likes to burn the brain and suspense can be cool this time.
I would like to take a small book and write down all the character clues.
But it doesn't work to write it down, you still can't guess the next step.
Because you never know.
This is a useful piece of information, or a trap deliberately set by someone.
For example, you think this little minion has betrayed the Yaohan.
No.
His so-called revelations are actually a decoy.
For example, you think that the villain has successfully brought the underground casino to the end and forced YaoHan to a dead end.
No.
In fact, this is all Yaohan's plan.
The purpose is to masochistically surrender to the big guy behind the scenes and gain his absolute trust.
Finally, behind the reversal is the excavation of the character's heart.
The show is full of evil people.
All characters have different hearts.
In the face of interests, you can cooperate at any time, or you can betray in an instant.
Variables are always there.
The original rookie Yaohan did not understand this.
It has been repeatedly used by people from all sides and forced to a dead end.
The black boss's golden sentence of life woke him up.
"Don't get angry just because you're pushed to the edge of a cliff.
Man, he didn't die in a fight.
I died because I stood on the edge of a cliff and fought."
The change of fate caused him to fall into the abyss.
He decided to open his closed self and jump into a new world.
If you want to defeat the darkness, you can only become darker yourself.
"As long as I'm alive, this game won't end."
Fast pace, surprising reversals, excavation of human nature.
Coupled with the passionate drama of the male protagonist Jedi counterattack.
The routine is a bit of a routine, but it is still cool to fly.
In fact, the mastery of the core code of Hong Kong films is not only the "Insider".
You will find a detailed number of Korean crime action movies over the years.
They simply use the "take-ism" to the fullest.
It can be said that it is "copying all over a hundred invincible hands".
"Decision of Life and Death" performed by Liu Shengfan and Huang Zhengmin
2006's Decision to Live or Die.
The two male protagonists are set up, a policeman and a criminal.
Obviously from Wu Yusen's "Blood Two Heroes".
The 2013 Korean film New World.
Mixed with the Hong Kong film "Infernal Affairs" + "Dragon and Tiger Storm" + "Underworld".
Play the spy drama until it flies.
New World
Sometimes it's just on the surface.
For example, "The Bookless", remade from "The True Colors of Heroes".
"The Bookless" starred Song Chengxian and Zhu Zhenmo, and the remake was sparse
"Extreme Occupation", the number one box office in korean film history.
The end of the film also pays tribute to "The True Colors of Heroes".
He even used Zhang Guorong's "Love of the Year" as the soundtrack.
It's "Heroes" again
Koreans are obsessed with Hong Kong films, especially the "Heroes" series.
The opening paragraph of "Please Answer 1988" is enough to illustrate.
Teenage protagonists, sitting around the TV, staring intently.
It was the favorite movie of all Koreans at the time.
Not one of them.
"Please Answer 1988"
The depth of love, the natural use of the hand.
Han Ying perfectly inherits the various elements of Hong Kong genre films, as well as the temperament of "all overheated, all crazy".
From it, he developed something unique to himself.
On the one hand, it has created its own unique aesthetic of violence.
The violent aesthetics of Hong Kong films were first the romantic style of Wu Yusen.
Church, white dove.
Brother Fa appeared dressed in black.
A double-gun protrusion in his hand.
Slow motion with melodious female voice.
Bloody and romantic.
South Korea's crime action films are more cold and realistic.
Cold weapons are mainly used.
Like sticks, sticks, knives, and of course fists.
It shook to the flesh, and the plasma flew away.
Let the audience experience a cruel physical torture.
For example, casino people fight, naturally use playing cards.
Dawn in City Hunter.
A flip plus fly card, elegant and neat.
In "The Insider", the playing cards are folded.
Goug out the eyes directly.
The recently fired cool film "Crime City 2" is the same.
"Devil Muscle Man" Ma Dongxi, a slap directly called out to the dead.
Together with Ding Qing, the "Elevator God of War", and Mian Zhenghe, the "God of War of Yanbian", they jointly formed the "Korean God of War Universe".
On the other hand, from the core point of view, Korean movies and Korean dramas are even darker.
Corruption in the political and judicial systems is often confronted.
In "The Insider", Yaohan later found out.
The real purpose of underground casinos is to help the powerful launder money.
In order to avenge himself, he decided to break through from within.
Turn yourself into a money laundering agent for the powerful.
Similarly, in The New World, inspired by Infernal Affairs.
The male protagonist, Li Zicheng, is an undercover police agent.
But it has been squeezed by unscrupulous officials.
In the end, he chose the sentient gangster brothers.
Reached the pinnacle of criminal organizations.
One black to the end.
In short, Han Ying inherits and carries forward the glory of Hong Kong-made crime action movies.
But more violent, darker.
This stems from South Korea's special political environment.
It is also closely related to their huge creative space.
However, the mantle of seeing Hong Kong films was actually taken away by Koreans across the Yellow Sea.
I still have to sigh.
It's a little sad.
