The Chinese film "The Bad Guy Must Die" was filmed in South Korea, and most of the scenes were taken from the beautiful island of Jeju. Out of the country, the movie story seems to be playing even more crazy. This is a black crime comedy about the bizarre encounter of four Chinese led by Chen Bailin in South Korea, where they meet the female wanted sun Yizhen or the professional killer Shin Hyun-joon, and every minute is at stake.
"The Bad Guy Must Die" is a beautiful cooperation between China and South Korea to make a film, this work is not simply filmed in South Korea, but integrated into the style of Korean films, truly achieved a Mix and Match between China and South Korea, Chen Bailin, Sun Yizhen, Shin Hyun-joon and other stars of the two countries starred, but also let this film in the Chinese and Korean markets have a double guarantee.
Therefore, it cannot be simply said that "The Bad Guy Must Die" is a domestic film, and the genre and style of this film are rare in domestic films, but it is more common in Korean movies. Shin Hyun-joon's previous "Killer Company" and Ren Changding's "Two Kilometers of Time Loss" all belong to this genre, and this kind of crime comedy can make people watch both worrying and funny, and it is more fun than pure comedy.
The title of the film is "The Bad Guy Must Die", so there should be two groups of good people and bad guys in the film, the good guy basically refers to chen Bailin, Qiao Zhenyu, Ding Wenbo, Yang Xuwen, the four people played in the film, Chen Bailin played a Chinese who was a Chinese teacher in Busan, South Korea, and his brother (Yang Xuwen) led two friends from China to play with him. The four people are involved in a South Korean gangster hunt, Chen Bailin and Yang Xuwen are also kidnapped by the female wanted criminal Sun Yizhen, and the killer Shin Hyun-joon follows all the way, as if to find out the secret that Sun Yizhen holds.
The killer played by Shin Hyun Joon, very much like Javier Baden in "Old Nobody", is a killer, and in order to achieve the goal of desperate, are like wolves. The character of Shin Hyun Joon takes on the dangerous atmosphere in the film, and almost every time he appears, he will cause the death and injury of other characters, and it is clear that the "bad guy must die" in the title of the film refers to Shin Hyun Joon.
The female wanted criminal played by Sun Yizhen looks like she has a wrong, but the final mystery needs to be revealed in the end. Sun Yizhen's drama path has changed greatly in recent years, after all, with the increase of age, it is necessary to develop in the direction of acting. Sun Yizhen's transformation can be seen in the previous "Pirates" and now "The Bad Guy Must Die". This time, Sun Yizhen is forced to embark on the road of crime, to prove his innocence on the way to escape, and to relieve the crisis of his relatives, with multiple missions, this role has a heavy responsibility.
As a crime comedy, it is usually necessary to set up a few people with a strong sense of justice, Chen Bailin is the kind of person with a strong sense of justice, seeing that Sun Yizhen suffered misery, he quickly drew his sword to help. The so-called Fu General is the kind of character who seems to be indisputable from the world, but in fact has good luck and is also a decent character, and the priest and police set in the film are such a type, ostensibly as supporting roles for passers-by, but play a key role in the film.
"The Bad Guy Must Die" because the whole story was moved to South Korea, and the crime case also belonged to South Korea, so director Sun Hao was relatively free in controlling the plot, and the Korean police also played a funny role in the film, and these settings were also learned from Korean movies. However, the narrative style of the film is still obviously Chinese, and it is still Chinese perspective to tell the whole story, so Chinese audiences will easily accept this story.
"The Bad Guy Must Die" is not the kind of remake or co-production film that was previously made, the film was filmed by Chinese filmmakers in South Korea, which seems to provide a new model for Sino-Korean film cooperation. The two countries are not only geographically similar, but also have similarities in customs and customs, and cooperation to make wonderful stories seems to be the general trend of Sino-Korean film cooperation in the future.
