First of all, let's talk about the correspondence between actors and characters:
Zhang Yi (as Zhang Xianchen), Yu Hewei (as Zhou Yi), Qin Hailu (as Wang Yu)
Zhu Yawen (as Chu Liang), Liu Haocun (as Xiaolan), Li Naiwen (as Lu Ming)
On the train, Xiaolan was suddenly selected by the agent and taken away to investigate his identity.
It seems to be a coincidence, but in fact, Xiaolan was pit by Chu Liang.
1. Chu Liangduo took a look at his lover Xiaolan, causing Xiaolan to almost die.
On the train, the ticket inspector was checking the ticket, and the agent who was sitting at the end suddenly stood up, walked over to Xiaolan, asked for documents, and took her away for investigation.
Xiao Lan asked, "What's wrong with me?" ”
The agent said, "Where there's so much nonsense, it's not right to see you." ”
This sounded as if Xiao Lan himself had revealed an unknown flaw, causing suspicion.
In fact, it was the secret agent who had paid close attention to Chu Liang's every move in advance.
After Chu Liang got into the car, he accidentally found Xiao Lan, and he couldn't help but look at it more, and he was instantly detected by the agent.
Moreover, in order not to hit the grass and snake, the secret agent also waited until Wang Yu entered the toilet to see the fake code before taking the initiative to expose his identity and take Xiaolan away.
The agents on the train did not sit casually, they had their own division of labor.
Zhou Yi was responsible for keeping an eye on Wang Yu.
Lu Ming was responsible for keeping an eye on Chu Liang.
The agent who captured Xiaolan was responsible for observing the whole scene and acting on the opportunity.
2. Zhou Yi asked questions, hiding the killing machine.
After reading it again, we know that Zhou Yi is a deep undercover agent.
So here's what we found.
Chu Liang didn't know that the people around him were spies, and he didn't know that he had exposed Xiao Lan.
Therefore, seeing xiaolan being taken away, he was anxious and took the initiative to ask Lu Ming for help, further exposing Xiaolan's identity.
The stakes were high, and Lu Ming called Zhou Yi again.
Zhou Yi looked into Chu Liang's eyes and asked, "What about the other person?" ”
"I didn't see it"
"Not in the car?"
"Nothing"
On the surface, from Chu Liang's point of view, Zhou Yi was concerned about his colleagues; from Lu Ming's point of view, Zhou Yi was playing with intelligence.
But for Zhou Yi himself, he had long known Zhang Xianchen and had also met Zhang Xianchen on the train, so his questioning was to test whether Chu Liang was reliable.
Chu Liang exposed Xiao Lan's behavior twice, and Zhou Yi saw it in his eyes, and his heart had long been dissatisfied with this reckless young man.
If Chu Liang foolishly exposed Zhang Xianchen's existence again, then Zhou Yi would no longer be able to trust Chu Liang, and perhaps he would be eliminated in advance.
This is not alarmist, if Chu Liang trusts the agent so easily, then the agents will have a lot of potential to use his trust, and then everyone will not be able to run.
So Zhou Yi asked, "What about the other person?" "It's testing Chu Liang's confidentiality."
Asking "Not in the car?" is to confuse Lu Ming, cover Zhang Xianchen, and make the agents give up continuing to search Zhang Xianchen.
3. Wang Yu called someone to get off the bus to cover Zhang Xianchen's rescue of Xiaolan
Wang Yu saw the "nonsense" left by Zhang Xianchen in the bathroom - everything was normal, see you in Harbin on the eighteenth.
With Zhang Xianchen's character, he will never risk leaving nonsense.
Therefore, Wang Yu suspected that the code had been changed, and he was probably surrounded by spies.
But she couldn't warn Chu Liang.
Now that Xiao Lan has been taken away, she and Chu Liang themselves are unable to protect themselves, and the only one who can save Xiao Lan is Zhang Xianchen.
All he could do was steer the spies who were spying on him away and then trust Zhang Xianchen.
Zhou Yi also understood this truth, so he cooperated with Wang Yu and said: "This car is not safe."
And in the end, he did not let Lu Ming go back to "find a way" (Lu Ming wanted to go back and directly arrest Xiaolan) and let him sit down on a car together.
Before leaving, Wang Yu looked worriedly at Chu Liang, who did not know the truth.
Although Chu Liang did not know that he was surrounded by spies, he knew that there was Zhang Xianchen on the car, and he could not take the initiative to expose him, although he was aggrieved, he had to remain silent and choose to believe Zhang Xianchen.
4. Xiaolan was arrested, proving that Zhou Yi was not a traitor.
Before getting on the bus, Zhang Xianchen did not know who the traitor was, but knew that Zhou Yi was a high-level undercover agent who met the conditions of a traitor.
Therefore, in his eyes, Zhou Yi was also suspected of being a traitor.
After getting on the bus, Zhang Xianchen observed with the afterglow of his eyes and saw that Wang Yu and Chu Liang had Zhou Yi by their side.
If Zhou Yi is a traitor, he will be very dangerous.
But not long after, Xiao Lan was accidentally taken away, and he was fine, which proved that Zhou Yi was not a traitor.
Because the spies can completely wipe out Xiaolan and themselves.
Therefore, after being arrested later, Zhang Xianchen dared to boldly trust Zhou Yi.
Otherwise, even if Zhou Yi helped him escape from prison, he could not prove that Zhou Yi was not necessarily a traitor.
5, Liu Haocun's jerky acting skills are actually just right
On the train, experienced agents are all looking at people with the afterglow.
Only Chu Liang turned his head silly.
And Xiao Lan's experience was not as rich as Chu Liang's.
But she had never "looked at anyone squarely", because she knew that Chu Liang and Wang Yu were surrounded by spies.
When Xiao Lan saw the two of them, he would think of the unknown agents around him, so he was very nervous.
However, Zhang Yimou did not let Liu Haocun deliberately show nervousness, but let her play freely, and her jerky acting skills can skillfully interpret Xiaolan's tense state of calmness.
(This is not to wash Liu Haocun white, after all, young people have poor acting skills and nothing to wash.) Such an explanation is just a little more fun for our own movie-going experience, a different perspective, and prevents drama. ）
Note: The script of "On the Cliff" is excellent, but the director was reluctant to elaborate on the play when shooting, hoping to let the audience take the role themselves and experience the mysteries.
However, because there are too many blank spaces, the audience can't detect the doorway at all after watching it for the first time, and mistakenly thinks that the movie is just a middle-level and upper-level work.
But in fact, this movie is full of foreshadowing, and it is very worth savoring.
If you see this, do me a favor and like or comment on it.
Moving your fingers helps me a lot.
If you have a movie you want to know through, but you don't want to waste too much time, you can let me know in the comments section and I can help you analyze the summary.
