Jiang Wen was an actor from the class to transform into a director, which made many people feel incredible at the time: the actor is an actor, the director is the director, you Jiang Wen is indeed a great actor, but suddenly go to the director's work, can you do it well? As a result, he not only did a good job, but also did a very outstanding and wonderful job.
Jiang Wen is unique, he even refuses to be the same as himself, in different periods his creations have a very high height, but these heights are based on different directions, and it can even be said that the benchmark of his starting point is the peak of many people - in the period of youth, he can shoot the peak of youth films, such as "Sunny Days", and in the mature period, he can make movies such as "Let the Bullets Fly" - the perfect combination of business and literature, both in terms of artistic value, Jiang Wen-style thinking and let different audiences feel "good-looking".
The absurd black humor in "Let the Bullets Fly" is bloody, and Jiang Wen's talent is undoubtedly revealed in the movie, especially the lines, which are too powerful: "Big brother, you know me, I have always asked for everything." "Wife, I said I don't want to, you have to force me." "I understand the meaning of your left hand, and I understand the meaning of your right hand, but... "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, and the Andersons are guarding in all directions... "Third uncle, how did you say it?"
"It was so undignified to rain"
You can't always think of what the next line is
He is the art form that fully applies humor to this line and shows it.
21 years ago, Jiang Wen was banned for 5 years for a movie.
Released in May 2000, the film "Here Comes the Devil" mainly tells the story of a peasant in a village in China who took care of Japanese prisoners during the War of Resistance Against Japan, but as a result, they were slaughtered by the Japanese army.
It was at the end of the war, in a small village in Hebei, an honest peasant named Ma Dasan was ordered to guard a Japanese prisoner named Dong Hanchen, and at first, the villagers were very vigilant, treating this group of prisoners as enemies, only doing what they had to do, never taking special care of them, and not talking much.
Then, in the slow process of getting along, people found that the Japanese soldiers did not seem to be so cruel, they were all human, were they really so terrible? The idea of this is the beginning of the danger.
The villagers gradually found that their children would have candy on their hands, of course, it was not easy to eat candy at that time, children did not understand what was happening, only knew that they could ask those people for candy to eat, for a long time, the group of children were not afraid of the Japanese at all, and would chase after them and reach out for candy, and would not avoid at all.
The change in this phenomenon also stimulated the villagers, who took the Japanese as friendly friends on a whim, held bonfire parties together, exchanged grain, etc., which seemed to be harmonious, but that night, the Japanese slaughtered the entire village, whether it was the elderly or children, and there was no one left!
The reason why Jiang Wen took the risk of making this film is because China in the 90s was very strange, and a wind of forgiveness blew up, and many people advocated forgiveness for Japan, especially some so-called "intellectuals" and various slogans, which led some people to be confused, not knowing who was right and who was wrong, and not knowing what really happened in history.
In 2018, after experiencing the defeat of "One Step Away", Jiang Wen said that he decided not to do dumplings to feed pigs, so "Evil Does Not Pressure Justice" came. Evil Does Not Pressure justice is an action comedy film written and directed by Jiang Wen and starring Jiang Wen, Peng Yuyan, Liao Fan, Zhou Yun, Xu Qing, Kenya Sawada, and Andi.
The film is adapted from Zhang Beihai's novel "Xia Cain". It tells the story of the "darkest hour" in Beiping City before the outbreak of the "July 7 Incident" in 1937, a hated agent Li Tiantian, who returned from the United States, staged a final revenge at the time of national disaster.
The film was released in China on July 13, 2018. On October 8, Chinese mainland the film to compete for the 2019 Oscar "Best Foreign Language Film"
In the movie, Jiang Wen's previous black humor style is revealed. Completed his Republic of China trilogy, each film has his own wife Zhou Yun's figure, it can be said that he is very spoiled wife
