When it comes to "thugs in suits", the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Zhang Jin. In "Slaying the Wolf 2", Zhang Jin fought one against two, and the classic scene of beating Wu Jing and Tony Jia was deeply imprinted in our minds.
However, Chen Guokun's newly released online movie "Suit Thug" recently challenged Zhang Jin to snatch the title of "Suit Thug".
When it comes to Chen Guokun, many people's first reaction is "the man who looks most like Bruce Lee".
This actor, who looks like Bruce Lee in both appearance and martial arts movements, is impressive in many films and television about Bruce Lee such as "The Legend of Bruce Lee" and "Ip Man", and also vividly interprets Bruce Lee. So when I saw Chen Guokun later, I defaulted to him as "Bruce Lee".
However, as an actor, it's good to have a memory. But if it is solidified that you can only play one role, it will be a failure.
Chen Guokun obviously doesn't want to be solidified, thinking that he can only play Bruce Lee. He is also constantly exploring his own acting path. During this time, Chen Guokun was in full swing, and many movies such as "Angry Tide", "Painting the Bad People of the Rivers and Lakes" and "Thugs in Suites" were released successively within a month. Obviously, Chen Guokun is looking for a new breakthrough and anchor for himself.
In "Thugs in Suites", a new possibility is seen approximately.
In the movie "Thug in a Suit", Chen Guokun created a role that a retired agent can play very well - Zhou Ke. This former top agent loves to wear a suit and walk alone in the heart of the urban shadows full of sin. In order to avenge his beloved wife and protect his daughter "Lingling", he became an out-and-out "thug in a suit" who countered violence with violence and killed decisively.
To tell the truth, after watching "Suit Thug", although I appreciate the action design in the film that is very similar to "Fast Pursuit", I still shook my head at the story told in the movie and Chen's tender acting skills.
The image of Zhou Ke in "Suit Thug" is most likely a reference to John Wick played by Keanu Reeves in "Fast Pursuit", and the names are very similar.
They have the same unkempt medium and long hair, they like to wear suits, they are good at kung fu, they are good at using various weapons, and they also like gun fighting, but Chen Guokun's use of firearms is not as much and complicated as that of Wick, after all, the Internet is big, and the funds will not be so abundant.
However, "Zhou Ke" is better than "John Wick" in terms of his movement skills! Chen Guokun, who is still in the prime of life and is still in the prime of life, is obviously much better than Keanu Reeves in terms of physical fitness, and his movement strength, speed, and beauty are of course more advantageous than Chen Guokun, who often practices Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do. The martial arts movements are clean and neat, especially the side kicks, and there is also the shadow of Bruce Lee.
Of course, it's not Bruce Lee's signature move of touching his nose and yelling.
Oh, that's a long way off. Or back to the "thugs in suits".
Compared with Zhang Jin's image of a "thug in a suit" in "Slaying the Wolf 2", Zhang Jin is more elegant, with a well-fitting and customized suit, a handsome back fixed by hairspray, a clean and delicate face, and sharp eyes, which makes Zhang Jin's image more handsome and cool, which is a kind of killer's ruthlessness.
And Chen Guokun's "thug in a suit" Zhou Ke, with relatively rougher, unkempt hair, emaciated face, and tender eyes, makes Zhou Ke more emotional. After all, in the film, Chen Guokun has the hatred of killing his wife and the love of protecting his daughter. Only the bad guys are decisive.
In terms of action, Zhang Jin's movements are sharp, cool and handsome, and very ornamental. His movements have the characteristics of traditional martial arts moves, and he has back and forth with Wu Jing and Tony Jia, attacking and defending tightly, and fighting freely.
And Chen Guokun is more casual and practical, and everything around him is a weapon. There are even traps arranged according to the scene, which is very similar to the style of "Fast Pursuit" and "bald strong" Guo Dasen.
In the film, the opponents of the two are not in the same weight class. Zhang Jin was faced by famous A-list action stars Wu Jing and Tony Jia. And Chen Guokun is playing against Shi Yanneng in the second and third lines. Although the villain professional Hu Shiyan can also fight, but in terms of popularity, he is obviously inferior to Zhang Jin's opponent.
Another point is that Chen Guokun and Shi Yanneng don't have a lot of rivalry scenes, that is, when they were about to clear the customs at the end, they met the big boss, and after a few strokes, it was not exciting enough, it was not as good as Zhang Jin and their hearty fight
It can be seen that although Chen Guokun has also played the name of "thug in a suit", it is not a level in terms of image shaping or action design.
In the future, when everyone talks about "thugs in suits", the first thing that comes to mind is Zhang Jin's classic image. And by the way, it may only be a small part of the Internet movie that reminds me that Chen Guokun has a "Thug in a Suit".
Friends, what do you think of Zhang Jin and Chen Guokun's "thugs in suits"?
