Huang Zhengmin's latest film, "Hostage", is a remake of the 2015 movie "Rescue Mr. Wu" starring Andy Lau.
It tells the story of the film emperor Huang Zhengmin who was kidnapped on the way to work after the film screening and began to save himself in order to survive. This article will interpret the 3 points of this film!
Highlight 1:
Kidnapping Huang Zhengmin?
Blur the mirror of reality and fiction
Huang Zhengmin starred under his real name, acting in a fictional story with a real actor identity, and when he was released in Taiwan, he directly translated "Hostage" as "Kidnapping the Movie Emperor Huang Zhengmin" and earned enough gimmicks.
When the real and the imaginary are mixed together, the most curious thing is nothing more than, which places are the real Huang Zhengmin, and which are the Huang Zhengmin who are acted out?
The director is very straightforward but cleverly used a trick to distinguish the boundary between the real and the imaginary - the mirror.
At the beginning, Huang Zhengmin's real information screen is released, including the award speech, movie clips, red carpet video, etc.
After leaving the stage, before walking into the story, a scene of Huang Zhengmin in the elevator was filmed. Speaking of elevators, it is natural to think of Huang Zhengmin's nickname of "elevator god of war".
But it's worth noting that this elevator is surrounded by mirrors. At first, the picture is blurry, and then it focuses, close-up of Huang Zhengmin's eyes in the mirror.
After looking in the mirror, I turned around and saw countless Huang Zhengmin under the mirror refraction, he was him in all directions, and at least 7 Huang Zhengmin could be seen in one picture. Not only does it expand the space, but more importantly, it creates a double of the character. In this way, the real and the imaginary begin to decompose.
In addition, you can also see the hint from the look in his eyes, and the look in his eyes when he turns around is obviously colder and sharper than when he looks in the mirror. After stepping out of the elevator full of mirrors, the fictional story officially begins.
Highlight 2:
Park Sung-woong special starred
"Squid Game" "Zhiying" kills the kidnappers
In addition to Hwang Jeong-min, "Hostage" also has a special appearance of Park Sung-woong, who has worked together on "New World".
After Huang Zhengmin was kidnapped in the film, he told the kidnappers that he had to call to cancel the press conference, otherwise everyone would know about his disappearance. And the agent does not answer the strange number, Huang Zhengmin's first reaction is to call his friend Park Sung-woong and emphasize to apologize to the reporter Xu Daozhe, who is the name of the policeman played by Huang Zhengmin in the movie "Old Hand". Implied alarm.
Speaking of Hwang Jeong-min and Park Sung-woong, you will definitely think of Lee Jung-jae, another important partner of "New World". "Squid Game" starring Lee Jeong-jae has been a fire all over the world, and many fresh faces in the play have also been noticed, including Zhiying, who is partnered with Jiang Xiao.
Lee Yu-mi, an actress who plays Zhiying, plays a kidnapped coffee shop employee in "Hostage", becomes a hostage with Huang Zhengmin, and decisively raises a gun to shoot a female kidnapper during the escape.
Her disappearance was not reported, the police did not pay attention to the case, until the actor Huang Zhengmin disappeared, public opinion was widely reported, the police finally accelerated the speed to find someone, to a certain extent, satirizing the South Korean police's ineffective handling, public opinion in it plays a very big role.
The most vomited is also the incompetence of the Korean police in the film, two policemen can not beat a kidnapper, and finally have to rely on the barefoot Hwang Jeong-min to subdue the kidnappers.
However, there are still touching places, especially in "Squid Game", there is no goal to live, and Zhiying, who gave Jiang Xiao a chance to live, is full of desire to survive in "Hostage", and persists until the last moment to be rescued.
Highlight 3:
"Letter to see" Huang Zhengmin's hot-blooded acting skills
Is the famous "New World" scene an improvisational performance?
The biggest attraction in "Hostage" is, of course, Huang Zhengmin's acting skills.
In the filming tidbits, Huang Zhengmin rolled over the stone and fell on the tree trunk over and over again in order to be realistic when filming the scene of falling off the cliff; the scene where the kidnapper strangled his neck also required the rope to be tightened as much as possible; and the fall on his back was also a solid fall on the cement floor.
This is not the most exaggerated for Huang Zhengmin, in an interview with "you quiz on the block3" (210825), Huang Zhengmin confessed that in order to play the role of a tramp, he once ran to Seoul Station for a week to sleep, was rushed by other homeless people, and also begged with them to eat, actually to integrate into this group.
In order to create a simple role of rural youth in "You Are My Destiny", he ate supper every day to gain 20kg, and when the story turned, in order to show the pain of parting, he lost weight suddenly because of sadness, so Huang Zhengmin lost 25kg.
In order to create a plump and three-dimensional role, Huang Zhengmin will consult with the director to perform improvisations, and those improvisations have accidentally become the famous lines/famous scenes of the movie.
For example, in "New World", Ding Qing appeared in the scene wearing slippers on the plane, the camera slowly moved from the foot to the face, and Huang Zhengmin wanted to make this character appear extraordinary from the foot. Just the details of a slipper will leave the audience with the impression of "no one can stop", and the character stands from here.
Washing his face and gargling with rainwater and saying "Come, let the horse come" in the elevator are also Huang Zhengmin's ideas, which vividly show the fierceness of Ding Qing's character.
Huang Zhengmin has a strong sense of responsibility for acting, and does everything he can for the sake of the film. Carefully ponder every action and line of the character, and then try your best to perform.
Huang Zhengmin is such an actor. As he said in his "You Quiz": "Acting is inherently painful, no way, is it so easy to live in other people's lives?" ”
Public number: Foggy, welcome to pay attention.
