Who would have thought that the biggest surprise in the summer file would come from a suspense thriller.

That's right, "Silent Killing".

It was released for 4 days, and the box office exceeded 200 million.

The single-day box office exceeded 70 million, which was nearly 5 times that of the second-ranked "Mind Agent Team 2", and the film schedule was even more overwhelming.

Finally, there was a movie with a popular reputation, and Brother Pi went to the theater to watch it for the first time.

Indeed, when Ke Wenli meets a suspense film, there will always be surprises.

From "Tang Detective" to "Manslaughter", and then to this "Silent Killing", Ke Wenli can always properly control the development of the story of the suspense movie and the laying out of clues, and skillfully integrate gimmicky commercial elements to raise the audience's expectations.

This "Silent Killing" is very Ke Wenli's style:

The girl who was bullied, the butcher who killed people on a rainy night, the beast father who sexually assaulted his daughter, the mother who was domestic violence, the teacher who had a ghost in his heart, and the obscene candid man......

The whole hospital is crazy, all the bad guys, but they are also scolding and cool, which is suitable for relieving the heat.

To be precise, "Silent Killing" is a commercial film that is very suitable for the summer file, especially the addition of many drama bones, which makes the movie an unprecedented "acting award".

From the young Wang Shengdi, to Wang Chuanjun, who changed his style, from the rising star Huang Minghao, to the comedy star Cai Ming......

Everyone has an extraordinary performance in their own roles, and their acting skills have become the basic plate of "Silent Killing", and it also makes everyone completely immersed in this tragic story of killing and being killed in Southeast Asia.

With the story and character design, today, Brother Pi will make an acting ranking for the ten outstanding actors in the film according to his own perception.

The rankings are in order, limited to performance in the movie, let's not talk nonsense, starting with the tenth place:

10, Mu Mengjiao (as Anqi)

A little-known actress, her last work was "Lin Shen Shi Jianlu" in 2022.

As a post-05 flower, Mu Mengjiao actually doesn't need to worry, because in this "Silent Killing", her acting skills are very outstanding.

Mu Mengjiao's appearance is very recognizable, at a glance, although it is not the face of the heroine, but it seems to be an indispensable existence in any film and television works.

In "Silent Killing", she plays the leader of bullying others, the principal's daughter, and the unscrupulous school bully of girls' schools, Angel.

The bad guy is not easy to play, and there is a principle for playing the bad guy, that is, when she appears, the audience can't see her at a glance, she is the villain.

The movie opens with four bullying girls, but when the camera slaps their faces, no one can imagine that Mu Mengjiao, who looks innocent, will be the worst person.

In the whole bullying scene, she has a very natural and smooth performance, although her behavior is not extremely evil, but it can make people hate to the core.

In particular, Mu Mengjiao played Anqi's smugness and carelessness appropriately, her ostentatious expressions and arrogant posture formed a sharp contrast with the horror and weakness when facing the butcher on a rainy night.

A story can only be strong enough if the villain is strong enough.

And half of the villain scenes in "Silent Killing" were supported by Mu Mengjiao, this 05 little flower, the road will be better in the future.

09, Li Meng (as Xiaoqing's mother)

After "Ink Rain and Clouds", Li Meng ushered in the highlight of his career.

In "Silent Killing", she also has her own role.

Xiaoqing's mother played by Li Meng seems to be a dispensable character, but she completely let go of the burden of idols, and completes the double intertextuality of the role of "mother" with a rustic dress.

Why?

First, her daughter, Zhong Xiaoqing, was one of the four girls involved in the bullying.

She was covered in rain, her face was full of worry, and she was so panicked that she was about to go crazy, and she was handing out flyers outside the school, which corresponded to her father Lin Jaebok, who also lost his daughter.

The same experience of the bully and the bullied is extremely ironic at this moment, and this highlighting of the sense of fatalism of the theme is the meaning of the existence of the role of Li Mengxiaoqing's mother.

Secondly, Li Meng's role is in contrast to Xiaotong's mother played by Zhang Junning.

Also as a victim of bullying, Zhang Junning and Li Meng have a direct eye contact, although Xiaoqing's mother may not know what her daughter did at school, but as a parent's dereliction of duty, it is an important reason for the tragedy.

Similarly, in Xiaotong's growth, Zhang Junning also caused a tragedy because of dereliction of duty, isn't this a warning from the director to his parents?

Li Meng used his performance to portray a low-level mother vividly.

This role also laid a good foundation for her to break away from ancient puppets and participate in realistic films in the future.

08, Liu Xiaohai (as the principal)

Liu Xiaohai, a golden supporting role, has starred in "Let's Love Each Other", "Pentium Age", and starred in "Over the Hills".

In "Silent Killing", he plays the hypocritical utilitarian inactive principal and Anqi's father.

As a supporting role, the principal does not have many scenes, but they all appear at important moments.

The reason why he left a deep impression on Brother Pi is because Liu Xiaohai pays great attention to showing the inner world of the characters with his eyes and details in his performance.

There are two impressive scenes.

In the first scene, it was Xiaotong's mother played by Zhang Junning, hoping that he would transfer Xiaotong to a special education class.

Obviously, the principal wants the mother who still has the charm of "unspoken rules", although he didn't say it explicitly, but the kind of coveting and evil desire between Liu Xiaohai's eyebrows and eyes is better than thousands of lines.

It wasn't until later that Zhang Junning threatened with Anqi's matter, so he gave up.

He had no choice but to drink the kumquat tea brewed by Zhang Junning in front of him, and the vicious unwillingness in his eyes made people a little afraid.

The second scene was at the ceremony, when he finished cutting the ribbon and found that the body of his daughter had fallen from the colored ball.

In this scene, Liu Xiaohai's expression is complicated.

The first thing you see is not even the grief of a father over his daughter's death, but the fear of discovering his sins, which proves that the headmaster is not a good father.

His connivance with Angel also has an outlet, perhaps not only because of the father's doting on his daughter, but also because of the absence of the father's role.

is a complex supporting role, and in a few scenes, it left a deep impression on the audience.

In the entire "Silent Killing", Liu Xiaohai is also one of the most outstanding golden supporting roles.

07, Wang Shengdi (as Chen Yutong)

This post-10 little girl is surprising.

Her Chen Yutong is the most central character in "Silent Killing", and it is also the title that connects all the characters.

After Pupu played in "The Hidden Corner" came out of the circle, Wang Shengdi's acting skills have made a qualitative leap.

Chen Yutong is one of the girls who are bullied, she and Huijun played by Xu Jiao are both children in special education classes, although they can't speak out, their emotions are kind and delicate.

Wang Shengdi's best performance is the forbearance and grief when he is bullied, as well as the strength and ruthlessness when he fights back, which is presented in a harmonious and timely manner.

Her appearance is the scene of being bullied.

The four bullies glued her whole body to the wall, her hair to her clothes and shoes, and even her mouth was sealed with glue.

Later, when the mother arrived, she had to cut her long hair short.

It is worth mentioning that during the whole bullying process, Wang Shengdi did not have a single tear, she was like a female warrior, although her body could not refute it, her spirit seemed to be very strong.

This also made the four bullying girls have no mental pleasure, so they have to torture her again and again.

But when her mother arrived to help her clean up the glue all over her body, her tears slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes.

In the whole movie, Wang Shengdi did not have a single line, but he did not lose any of the emotions that a character should have, which surprised Brother Pi.

You must know that she is not yet fourteen years old this year, and this is to take over Zhang Zifeng's class.

In the later memories, it was she who cooperated with the "Butcher on a Rainy Night" to complete the silent killing of the four bullying girls.

When the two of them were talking to each other, Wang Shengdi could even see the murderous aura in his eyes, which made me instantly think of Zhang Zifeng's expression in "Tang Detective".

Such a little girl is a material that can be made, and the future is immeasurable.

06, Wu Zhenyu (as Dai Guodong)

I have to say that Wu Zhenyu has participated in too many variety shows in recent years, which has caused the mystery of his role to disappear some.

But after all, it is an old drama bone, and the acting skills are still there.

Wu Zhenyu plays Dai Guodong, the police sergeant in charge of this case, and is also a stern but not good "Chinese-style father".

treats his son, especially when he uses violence, Wu Zhenyu's actions are like using all his life's strength.

But in the eyes and small movements, it is obvious that he is reserved and caring, this sense of contradiction is not a Golden Horse actor, and he really can't act.

In the final interactive scene with Zhang Junning in the hospital, in the face of his mother's kneeling and pleading, Wu Zhenyu, as a policeman, has to overflow the screen with the complexity in his eyes.

Dropping the camera and tearing up the film in one go, the action is as big as going crazy, but the effect contains kindness and tenderness, as well as humanistic care for this mother's last wish.

Two scenes, which show the skill.

In addition, Wu Zhenyu's interaction with Aruna Wang Chengsi at the beginning is also one of the few classic jokes in the film.

The Golden Horse actor, who can be literate and martial, is talking about Wu Zhenyu.

05, Cai Ming (as Xu Ma)

Who would have thought that Cai Ming, who is 62 years old this year, could be a funny person in a crime suspense thriller like "Silent Killing".

Mother Xu, played by Cai Ming, is a shrewd charter wife, but she is also the person with the strongest sense of joy in the film.

The audience said that even for Cai Ming's three minutes, they would go to see "Silent Killing", which Brother Pi agreed.

Although in the Spring Festival Gala sketches, Cai Ming's "poisonous tongue" and the stereotype of "loving dumplings" make people avoid it.

But in the film, the play of the old drama bones has surprises.

In the corridor of their house, Cai Ming and Zhang Junning met, and the language and mood of greedy people for a bag of kumquats simply played an old lady who loves to take advantage of them.

What's even more interesting is that Xu Ma went out to run errands later, rubbed Lin Zaifu's van, and found in the van that Lin Zaifu was a wanted murderer A series of actions and contrasts.

From the chatter before getting into the car, to the hands and feet after getting in the car, to the panic after listening to the news.

A series of actions and performances not only seem flustered and nonsensical, but also form a comedic contrast with Wang Chuanjun of "brainless and unhappy".

In a suspense film with a solemn atmosphere, Cai Ming's several performances eased the audience's nervous atmosphere, and the laughter in the theater from time to time is the most honest tribute to this veteran actor who has been active on the sketch stage for decades.

04, Jin Shijie (as Fang Juezhong)

Old drama bones can always make people's eyes shine, Jin Shijie, in any movie, can make the performance of the whole film a higher level.

In "Silent Killing", he played Fang Juezhong, who is an inconspicuous supporting role.

But the moment he appeared, he felt that this person was not simple.

With white hair, a wrinkled face, and especially when the eyes are turned upward, there is always a kind of eerie malice.

On the surface, Mr. Fang is a kind-hearted, amiable person, and even rescued Lin Zaifu and Huijun.

But in fact, in the whirlpool of school, his kindness is destined to be just a hypocrisy.

When the dome of the auditorium cracked and Hui Jun fell from a height, Jin Shijie's frightened expression when he turned around made all the audience shudder.

The reflex-like impact of the accident can enter the hearts of all the audience from Jin Shijie's face.

After Hye-jun's death, in the face of Lin Zaifu, who was handing out leaflets at the school gate to collect clues, Mr. Fang did not help him, but chose to advise him that Hye-jun's death was suicide.

He persuaded Lin Zaifu to leave, and the contrast in his expression before and after entering the principal's luxury car, especially the care and kindness before getting into the car, and the disgust and anger on his face after getting in the car, showed a vivid humanity.

Fang Juezhong, played by Jin Shijie, is the most ironic character in the film.

He keeps saying that he is kind and enlightened, but behind his back, he is still in the same stream, clinging to power, and disregarding people's lives.

No wonder in the end, when Lin Zaifu knelt down to survive, he didn't hesitate at all.

This role, also under Jin Shijie's performance, has a soul. The glamour on the surface of the entire school and the decay on the inside, because of Teacher Fang, were completely dug out and exposed to the sun.

03, Xing Guodong (as Chen Mingzhang)

To be precise, Xing Guodong aroused the fear of beast fathers and domestic violence men in the bones of most audiences.

At the first glance of him, Brother Pi remembered An Jiahe in "Don't Talk to Strangers".

More often, Chen Yutong's father Chen Mingzhang appears in the form of a symbol in the film, and Xing Guodong's own appearance is in the memories of Xiaotong's mother Li Han.

He is Xiaotong's stepfather, so he went home a day early from a business trip, and when Li Han was not at home, he molested and raped his young daughter.

The moment Zhang Junning opened the door and saw Xing Guodong, it is estimated that all the audience were as nervous as her.

Because as long as Xing Guodong stood there and didn't do anything, he had a sense of oppression that was terrifying.

Later, the expressionless domestic violence, the glass bottle that suddenly smashed into the head, and the repeated domestic violence with the iron door clamping the hand, made people's hearts twitch and throb, and they also thoroughly understood Zhang Junning, the mother, in all kinds of unreasonable practices in the film.

In the movie, except for Lin Zaifu played by Wang Chuanjun, there is no serious good father, and the most important of them is Chen Mingzhang.

Ironically, the more expressionless Xing Guodong's performance of Chen Mingzhang is, the more it proves that this character is dark and perverted, obscene and demented.

On the one hand, this is a contrast with the image of a good husband and father he created before, and on the other hand, it shows that the evil of human nature is sometimes not just a monster with teeth and claws or a butcher with a foul mouth.

The polite scum is the most terrifying.

02, Zhang Junning (as Li Han)

As the heroine of the movie, Zhang Junning contributed a lot of famous acting scenes in the film.

She plays Li Han, a character who has a lot of stories on her body, is tense all the time, and is not normal at a glance.

But everyone knows that this woman who was glamorous before, and now she is an aunt who mops the floor, has secrets that no one knows, but she just can't see through or tell through them.

Because of the complexity of the characters themselves, Li Han's emotional world is elusive.

She has two sides of humanity in her, both the greatest maternal love in the world and the irrepressible evil.

In some scenes, the audience will be brought in by Zhang Junning's performance, and use the greatest empathy to sympathize with this mother who has experienced pain and struggle, and has met unladylike people.

When she hugged her bullied daughter, but there was nothing she could do but blindly escape.

When she knew that her daughter was taken away by the butcher, she knew that her daughter was in the house, but she couldn't do anything.

When the truth was discovered, she knelt down and begged the police not to expose it and give her daughter a chance.

When I saw my daughter being sexually assaulted, I could only be subjected to domestic violence, like a lost dog.

In all these scenes, Zhang Junning looks weak, helpless, and pitiful, which can arouse the pity in the audience's heart.

But when her eyes become fierce, and her image and temperament are completely subverted by her mental state, the audience will fall into a contradiction.

Is this woman good or bad?

Especially in the last scene, when he desperately wanted to pay for his daughter, he had to ask Lin Zaifu about his daughter's whereabouts from Lin Zaifu's mouth, and even when he didn't hesitate to kill him.

This kind of "ruthlessness" from maternal power is enough to penetrate the screen and shock people's hearts.

Li Han asked Zhang Junning to act, which can be said to be a fairy casting.

Other actresses really can't play her kind of contrast, the contrast between bright and sloppy, the contradiction between gentleness and bloodthirstiness.

Zhang Junning also truly represents the female power in "Silent Killing".

01, Wang Chuanjun (as Lin Zaifu)

Wang Chuanjun's transformation is amazing.

After "Love Apartment", Wang Chuanjun is getting farther and farther away from Guan Gu, but he is getting closer and closer to the drama bones.

From "The God of Medicine" to "All or Nothing", and then to this "Silent Killing", Wang Chuanjun seems to have poked the basket of realism, and one after another out-of-the-circle characters dazzled Brother Pi.

Lin Zaifu, the character of the interweaving of good and evil, the coexistence of warmth and violence, has the real power of human nature under Wang Chuanjun's performance.

In fact, when he appeared, no one thought that this seemingly honest decoration social worker would be the one who smashed other people's heads with a butcher knife and a hammer.

When getting along with his daughter Huijun, I can see the light in Wang Chuanjun's eyes, the kind of care and tenderness from the heart of the old father, which is brighter than the lighting of the movie.

The subsequent complex emotional changes also allowed Brother Pi to once again witness Wang Chuanjun's explosive performance.

In one paragraph, his daughter fell from the sky, and he picked up his daughter in a panic, whimpering in pain and unable to make a sound.

It's really a true manifestation of helplessness to the extreme, and pain to the extreme.

The other is the whole process of seeing his daughter being bullied to death on his mobile phone.

Because at school, he couldn't vent his emotions loudly, and the pain of being aggrieved to physiological pain overflowed the screen under Wang Chuanjun's extreme performance, and people's eyes turned red when they saw it, especially the audience with children, who must feel the same way.

In addition, the most impressive part of Pi Ge was when he was arrested and identified the scene and took a leap of faith on the rooftop.

That expression is very similar to Ruan Jingtian's relief at the last moment in "Removing the Three Evils Everywhere".

Lin Zaifu is a kind person, and it was not his intention to kill people, but if he doesn't kill people, his daughter's revenge will never be avenged.

So throughout the operation, there will always be a sense of contradiction in him.

He is evil, but he is evil for a reason. Although the lynching is illegal, the audience can understand his behavior and feel his helplessness and ending even more.

This is the greatest significance of the role of Lin Zaifu, and it is also the most painful revelation that "Silent Killing" brings to the audience.

Because the scene is set in Southeast Asia, we were able to see some unprecedented large-scale shots in the theater, and even had the refreshing feeling of watching B-grade movies.

But scale is not the core of "Silent Killing".

These actors, these characters, and the soul tremor brought by the characters are the basis for the box office success of "Silent Killing".

Fortunately, there is such a crime blockbuster that can surprise us in the summer.

At present, the box office prediction of big data for "Silent Killing" is to break 1.1 billion.

also hopes that the movies in the summer will be as competitive as "Silent Killing".

After all, it's been a long time since we've seen a cinema hit.
