At the end of the 1990s, the Hong Kong film industry entered a downturn;

The pinnacle is not there.

Some well-known actors choose to go far away from Hollywood;

Therefore, many directors in Hong Kong at that time also followed the footsteps of actors to Hollywood in the United States to seek better development.

And our protagonist today, Xu Ke;

He was one of the famous directors who went to Hollywood that year.

But compared to other directors who have gone to Hollywood, Xu Ke may be one of the more unfortunate.

His Hollywood filming of "Double Fire", "K.O. Thunder Strike" although well-made;

Unfortunately, the box office in North America at that time was not so high, and it can even be said that it was tragically waterloo.

So Xu Ke, who was disheartened at the time, returned to Hong Kong;

However, this trip to Hollywood did not bring it down, but made Xu Ke more and more fierce;

Immediately filmed a "Down the Current", once again proved himself to the world.

We all know that Xu Ke is a whimsical director;

For this point, it is not only reflected in Xu Ke's martial arts;

It is also represented in the gunfight action of the show.

In the play, Xu Ke abandoned the pompous gun battle scene in the previous Hong Kong films;

Instead, it is used to switch back and forth between different camera positions such as handheld and overhead shooting, elevated, etc., so that we can feel the tense and exciting atmosphere;

Especially that gunfight in the building can be said to be a textbook of gunfight movies.

So in Le Feng's view, although the film is an action gunfight film;

However, director Xu Ke perfectly integrated his martial arts characteristics into urban gunfight films, giving us a different sensory experience.

And Xu Ke's portrayal of the film's character image can also be described as a must;

Perfectly build Wu Bai into a cool and romantic killer image;

Gives us a different feeling and makes the character character extremely tense;

Compared with the protagonists in previous gunfight films, it seems to be more flesh and blood.

The above is all of today's content, code words are not easy, welcome to like and comment. Finally, don't forget to pay attention to the LeFeng movie!
