It's just handsome!
When I saw the childhood male god Louis Koo and the young Sammo Hung in "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" calling each other brothers, it seemed that I had once again returned to the most popular golden age of Hong Kong films.
When everyone is saying that Hong Kong films have been lonely, there is such a group of old Hong Kong stars who are still silently insisting.
In the past two years, Qiu Litao and Andy Lau alone have almost supported the entire Hong Kong film market, and there have been several blockbusters a year with stable output, although the box office is average, it can still make Hong Kong fans watch it with relish.
The veteran Hong Kong stars Tony Leung, Louis Koo, Leung Ka-fai and others, who were once popular all over the country, insisted on returning, and they simply revitalized the Hong Kong films that were not available.
If you want to ask why Hong Kong films that survive in the cracks can still have a place in each schedule in the era of the rise of the mainland market, my answer is-
If nothing else, let's just talk about this "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City".
was shortlisted for Cannes to enter the international market, but it was still premiered in the mainland, and it took two years before it was delayed.
The propaganda is still as weak as ever, but people still rely on hard power to speak.
Just the feedback from the audience in the comment area is already indescribably excited.
"It's better than expected", "It's too enjoyable to watch", "It's cool to watch", "It's so hot-blooded".
How exciting is it to make netizens so emotional?
I dare to say that "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" will definitely be the best Hong Kong film this year!
never expected that in terms of comic movies, Hong Kong films have achieved the ultimate.
"The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" is adapted from the hot-blooded novel "Kowloon Walled City", and what is even more impressive about this IP is the novel of the same name.
When the comics more than ten years ago were live-action, fans didn't complain, in fact, they saw the hard power of this blockbuster.
can restore the true appearance of the Kowloon Walled City in the audience's heart, and the production team of this movie really has something.
The male protagonist Chen Luojun (played by Lin Feng) wanted to buy an identity by boxing, but he was deceived and framed, and stole a large package of drugs on the spot, wanting to exchange it for money to live.
However, the underworld bosses are not dry eaters, and with an order, "If you can't catch him, I'll kill you", the younger brother didn't hesitate to scold and scold and go straight to work.
At the beginning, the hand-to-hand combat scene came into view, and then on the Mercedes-Benz bus, the male protagonist and the group fought wits and courage, and outside the window was the real scene of real moving.
In desperation, Chen Luojun hid directly in an "unfinished building" in order to save his life.
The two younger brothers looked like they had to take it down in the last second, and when they saw this unfinished building, they were stunned.
Not to mention the two younger brothers, even when I saw this tattered "strange building", I unconsciously sighed-
It's like the manga was brought out as it was!
It is even more realistic and vivid than Kowloon City in real photos.
It turned out that this was the site of a tornado.
The next plot is just one word-
Beat.
Gang fighting, brothers turning against each other, when Chen Luojun said over and over again, "I don't participate in the underworld", when the tornado went offline in the biggest tears, when the former "chicken squad" turned up and saw a dusk.
The few remaining plots of "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" can even make the audience feel new.
Without saying anything, it is to fight or run, grasp the scale in terms of modeling, and maximize the style that Hong Kong Star is best at.
The second middle school is not an exaggeration, and the plot develops rapidly but does not make people see it in the clouds.
It can only be said that director Zheng Baorui really has something.
The one who can gilt the Hong Kong film is naturally the lineup of old Hong Kong stars, and "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" is almost a group of old Hong Kong stars with a Mesozoic Lin Feng in the middle.
The first place, Sammo Hung .
is already 74 years old, can have this spiritual head, what kind of bicycle do you need.
can be called "big brother" by big brother Jackie Chan, only Sammo Hung is alone.
In order to sit in charge of Hong Kong films, Sammo Hung went out of the mountain again.
Indeed, although there are not many starring roles in friendship, the momentum is already convincing as soon as it appears.
He can even really get started with two strokes, and he is also willing to go out in order to revive his strength.
second place, Louis Koo.
It's so handsome, this guy is really handsome.
Although Louis Koo has been questioned in terms of appearance in the past two years, he still has a bit of an old man's aftertaste in the face of high-definition lenses.
Especially in the first shot, a series of crisp action scenes, and then easily pick up the cigar that has not yet fallen.
His condescending eyes were full of persecution, and his punches were full of force, and this role was really not a challenge for him.
third place, Ren Xianqi.
Seriously, as soon as Ren Xianqi appeared, I didn't recognize it yet.
I was already shocked by the various fighting scenes in front of me, and when this old brother appeared, I couldn't help but shine again-
With the same aura and a solemn face, at first glance, it is the sense of déjà vu of a full-level boss, and a look is sharp enough to penetrate the screen.
As soon as the camera turned, when he appeared in the picture again, I instantly understood: Isn't this Ren Xianqi!
Needless to say, the acting skills are full of freshness, and the big guy's temperament is full of freshness, and it is cool to play against others.
fourth place, Lin Feng.
Seeing Lin Feng running for his life and fighting as if he was desperate in "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City", I thought of that sentence again-
Stay away from idol dramas, don't touch the field that doesn't belong to you.
3 years ago, a "Sea of Stars" made Lin Feng's "greasy" to the fullest, but this brother is really bad in the film.
Xiao Ping pushed his head and was beaten so badly.
Although I am a little suspicious of pretending to be tender, at the age of 45, I can still play without a substitute throughout the whole process, and I can see that my goosebumps are standing up.
That's it, not to mention the Mesozoic, it's difficult to find a few in the small fresh meat of domestic entertainment.
In addition, there are also Golden Horse actor Liu Junqian, Academy Award actor Hu Zitong, etc., all to help, each more handsome than the other, and I was terrified to see the whole process.
epilogue
Seriously, in my opinion, a large part of the so-called loneliness of Hong Kong films is "responsible" in publicity.
It's not that there are no bad movies in the mainland, but the overwhelming propaganda will always hit a certain "big injustice".
And Sammo Hung's status in action movies, I think there is no need to say more, the grandmaster's return, he chose a cold April release, and even the publicity is not as good as a broken romance movie.
If the mainland director shoots at such a level, I can't imagine what it will be like in the early stage.
Why are many people still supporting Hong Kong films when they are lonely?
Because there are few Hong Kong films, you can see a group of people born for love who have always maintained the same original intention of action movies.
Gu Tianle is over half a hundred years old, and when he was interviewed during the roadshow, he also said aggrievedly that he had worked hard to shoot the fight scene all night, but he couldn't cut it for ten seconds.
And the director smiled indifferently next to him.
The things that the audience loves are always the same hand-to-hand combat, and they are also these filmmakers who are willing to fight for action movies.
"The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" is really worth watching! #头条创作挑战赛#
