Won the first place for 4 consecutive days, after watching Semyon's film, I want to say: action movies have roots in the northeast
No nonsense, straight to the point. Recently, there are quite a few action movies.
On the theater side, there is a classic IP sequel "Drug Sweep 3" that gathers a luxurious lineup.
Not to mention how the action scenes perform, just the explosion scenes, this movie can definitely shock your ears.
Foreign movies, South Korea also has "One Punch Man" Ma Dong-seok's "Crime City 3".
This IP, which broke into the top 12 viewers of Korean film history with its "hand-to-hand combat drama", is still outstanding in the third part.
is still in theaters, the number of moviegoers has exceeded 10 million, because the response of this series is so good, 8 films are planned to be filmed, and the fourth one has also been completed.
The recently released Hollywood blockbuster "Mission Impossible 7" is also amazing with its exciting scenes.
And our large network field is also not left behind.
Just when the theatrical film performance is eye-catching, recently, the online movie also came out with a series sequel - "Northeast Police Story 2".
On the first day of its launch, the popularity of the film skyrocketed.
After that, it won 4 online movie popularity championships for 4 consecutive days, ranking first on the Maoyan popularity list in one week, with a box office of nearly 5 million in 3 days.
In terms of word of mouth, this online movie also performed quite well.
Douban, which has always been strict, gave this movie a score of 7.3.
On video websites that need to be watched to score, the rating is as high as 9.5, and the number of ratings exceeds 76,000, ranking the top 1 of the hit list.
There are even netizens who gave "one of the best Chinese action movies in 2023".
Giving such praise to an online movie shows that the movie itself must have hard power.
Below, Qingshi will take everyone to nag well.
1. The 5 action scenes are "fried" one by one, and a high score of 9.5 is directly scored.
Look at the name to know that "Northeast Police Story 2" is a sequel, and the first "Northeast Police Story" will be launched in 2021.
It mainly tells the story of Li Hongqi, a criminal police officer in the northeast, fighting against criminal and evil forces.
The story itself is not new, but this movie caused a lot of splashes back then, and this splash focused on two words - "playing scenes".
Some netizens commented that "it is particularly grounded, better than angry cases", and received the praise of 83 fellow practitioners.
Now, 2 years later, the sequel is here.
The story still features Li Hongqi as the protagonist, but the timeline goes back to when he just returned to the police force from an undercover mission.
Because the captain was worried about his marriage, a blind date accidentally discovered the evil deeds of the underworld forces, and the story of playing for justice unfolded.
The sequel that took 2 years to come out, the movie has worked the scene, obviously more.
Take the most representative 5 action scenes in the film, which are "fried" more and more every time.
Session 1: Appetizers.
The movie opens with a one-to-many fight, and the ninth brother played by Semyon comes up to present us with an "exhibition match".
No emotion, all skill.
Kicking two people is a slap when it comes up, and it hurts to twist people's ears;
Take advantage of the pain and directly knock the person to the ground with a backhand;
Take advantage of the power to fall over the shoulder, easily; Stuff another Harbin red sausage, and finally send a slap to eat you;
People come up with an empty wine bottle, Ninth Brother punches the wine bottle, the other party looks stupid, who dares to move?
Rushed up with a knife, and also flew it with a bag.
This punch and punch posture is quite like the Northeast "one-punch man".
Of course, such a play is just an appetizer, and the good show is yet to come.
Scene 2: Toilet hand-to-hand combat
After the first scene, the movie made a long foreshadowing of the plot, and after the foreshadowing, it was time to serve the big dish.
This first hot dish was the fierce hand-to-hand fight between Brother Nine and Eighteen's toilet. This 5-minute one-on-one showdown is exciting every second.
A kick to break the toilet, every punch is like a dead hand.
The fist style is so strong that even we can feel it in front of the screen.
The reason why this action scene is good is that the two are evenly matched.
Brother Nine dodged flexibly here, and Eighteen came to attack more violently.
an over-the-shoulder fall;
a sweeping leg;
Even if it is pinned, it can still use the ground to quickly counterattack.
And Brother Jiu's sliding shovel grappling hand is not only gorgeous, but also very practical.
The ground grappling between the two is also you and me, and there is no one-sided situation, and the fight is naturally good-looking.
Nine Brother was caught by the foot, and a volley turned around and escaped;
Eighteen was knocked to the ground, and he could reflexively throw Brother Jiu over his shoulder;
And the most amazing stroke is the duel between the two in the later stage, in a toilet cubicle of less than one square meter.
Due to the limitation of space, the tension of this fight skyrocketed.
Without saying much, go directly to the GIF and feel it intuitively.
Scene 3: In-car grappling
The reason why the fighting scenes in the film are wonderful is not only that Semyon, who was born in action scenes, performs very well, but also that any person in the film is very capable of fighting.
The third amazing fight scene in the film comes from the female policeman and the eighteenth car fighting.
The suspect who was originally chained to the back seat here saw the opportunity and used various equipment in the car to start a life-and-death struggle with the policewoman.
Get stuck in your neck from behind, find the right time, put down the back chair, and immediately gain space for activity.
Restricted by handcuffs, cleverly using the data cable in the car, forming a lore.
Although there is no Semyon in this section, the excitement of the play is not diminished at all.
Scene 4: Stranglehold on the set
When this scene arrives, everyone already knows the fighting styles of all kinds of people, how can they play new tricks?
It's time for a hearty group battle.
Brother Jiu followed the clue to a dock, and the other party was crowded with people and deliberately led Brother Jiu into the game.
The result was a great one-to-many fight.
This fight scene is also a variety of random objects used as weapons.
The move is fierce, and the slightest hesitation will see blood.
The fifth time: fight for your life
In the end, Brother Nine came alone and came to the hiding place of the big boss, where the two ushered in the final showdown.
This fight scene is really a pain to watch.
Because the scene is set in a car modification factory, the two sides of the fight are "hard guys" who pick up casually.
The two of them greeted each other directly without mercy, what tire headshot, steel pipe leg beating, wrench waving, what is really pain.
And the opponent's big boss is not vegetarian, and his former bodyguard status makes his combat effectiveness not inferior to any opponent that Ninth Brother has encountered before.
I have to say that the action scenes of "Northeast Police Story 2" are surprising in both quality and quantity.
What's more worth mentioning is that every fight in the film is methodical.
There are one-on-many with ordinary strong men, and there are one-on-one with strong opponents.
But after so many action scenes, we don't feel aesthetic fatigue, which is because action scenes are different in moves, props, and styles.
It also uses MMA fighting techniques, jiu-jitsu techniques, hand-to-hand combat and other hard-style action designs, which are not only exciting, but also very real.
Really, let alone an online movie, even domestic movies have not seen such a silky but realistic scene for a long time.
2. Unexpectedly, Hong Kong-style hardcore action movies have taken root in the northeast
The movie can receive praise on Douban, a big reason is that the "spirit" of the movie is right.
The aforementioned scenes are all real people.
Those fist-to-flesh moves are also real hits.
And what really touched Bluestone was the tidbits after the end of the movie.
It is no exaggeration to say that the ending tidbits of this movie are definitely one of the reasons why many people give high scores.
The less than 4 minutes of tidbits at the end of the film, in addition to the behind-the-scenes staff who released the movie, there is also a theme.
It shows part of how the action scenes in the movie are filmed.
We see that on the set, the main creative team will conceive countless times for an action, and adjust the angle little by little, just to be able to present the best picture.
And the actors were all injured during the filming.
Liu Fengchao, who played eighteen, was injured because he was too dedicated during the filming, and his face turned pale at the scene.
But he still finished the action before he fell.
Such a real tidbit, we used to see in Hong Kong-style action movies at its peak.
We also easily think of one word: dragon and tiger warrior.
In 2021, a very special documentary appeared on the big screen, and the name of the documentary is "Dragon and Tiger Martial Master".
This is a film documentary directed by Hong Kong film researcher and veteran filmmaker Wei Junzi, with Sammo Hung, Yuen Heping, Cheng Xiaodong, Yuen Hua, Donnie Yen, Qian Jiale and other strongest "martial arts lineup" in Chinese films.
Dragon and Tiger Martial Artist, also known as martial arts stuntman, is a unique legend of Hong Kong movies.
In the glorious era of Hong Kong films, the role of dragon and tiger warriors was great.
They dare to think and fight, and made Hollywood "bow down" 50 years ago.
At the 38th Hong Kong Film Awards in 2019, the Professionalism Award was awarded to Mr. Liu Yun, a "dragon and tiger martial artist" who has been working hard in the martial arts industry for more than 30 years.
Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer hardcore action Hong Kong films, action movies are "outdated", and Hong Kong films have begun to pursue big scenes in addition to going further and further on the road of old IP.
More and more Hong Kong films have appeared explosive scenes, taking the route of Hollywood explosion films.
And the real hand-to-hand combat is becoming less and less, because the people who "carry the flag" are old, the people who fight for their lives cannot fight, the martial arts team is scattered, and there are fewer and fewer people who can hold on.
Fortunately, the appearance of this "Northeast Police Story 2" made us realize:
The spirit of Hong Kong action films, which we have always been proud of, has not disappeared, and it has also taken root in the northeast.
3. The new "golden partner" is born, and with their action movies, it will explode!
Sharp-eyed friends should have discovered that there are several familiar names in the main creative team of this movie.
There is no need to say more about the starring Semyon, who can almost be said to be the bearer of the current action scene.
So much so that netizens also exclaimed:
"There are two kinds of Netda, one is Semyon's and the other is someone else's."
And Wei Junzi is actually very familiar to us, he is a veteran fan of Hong Kong movies, and has written several books about Hong Kong movies.
After becoming a producer and director, he is committed to presenting the spirit of Hong Kong films as much as possible.
The combination of him and Semyon represents the "qi" of Hong Kong films.
From "Northeast Police Story" to "No One in Sight", from "No One in Sight 2" can be on the theater line to the "Northeast Police Story 2" in front of them, the action movies made by their golden partners are good both ancient and modern.
Martial arts movies can make quacks, action crime movies can also be both burning and cool, and the new signboard of action movies has been played.
Of course, "Northeast Police Story 2" is not without its flaws. On the contrary, its shortcomings are also very obvious.
The first and most prominent thing is the plot.
In a word, it is: how wonderful the action scenes of the film are, how collapsed the literary drama is.
In fact, at the beginning of the movie, the literary drama is quite interesting.
A blind date dinner brought out the male protagonist Ninth Brother, and a few lines made the character of Ninth Brother penetrated.
Direct, not detouring, a real person.
However, it is not a big deal, and we will definitely not eat the losses that should not be eaten.
Immediately after a fight scene, the protagonist's ability was highlighted.
After that, the story introduction, set up cleverly, the shooting is also quite literary.
The villain Big Boss is a womanizer who forced a small couple to jump off the building for his own selfish desires, killing one and one injured.
This involves more ulterior things behind the big boss.
Compared with the general use of "flesh" to promote the plot of the Internet, the beginning of "Northeast Police Story 2" does make people want to watch it again.
But unfortunately, the literary and dramatic part of the movie is almost over here.
The next plot is two words: give directly.
In fact, at the conceptual level, the proposition that the film wants to present is very valuable, but the film does not dig deep at the text level, which is a pity.
But in general, under the specifications of online movies, "Northeast Police Story 2" can do this, which is already stronger than many theatrical movies.
Again, if online action movies are based on this standard, then hardcore action movies are also considered successors!
