Put away the smile and do the drama seriously, this time Zheng Zhongji gave up the "Tyrannosaurus Brother" and did the real "Aaron"
Recently, Cheng Chung-kee held his first "Fan Public Meet and Greet" at Ocean Park in Hong Kong, and in addition to promoting the new song "We", he also shared a lot of family fun with fans. When fans asked about the highly anticipated "Aaron", Zheng Zhongji also made it clear: "It will be almost a good look!" ”
Zheng Zhongji in "Aaron" absolutely subverts our understanding of his previous film roles, for this role can be described as a sufficient "sacrifice", from the standard 130 pounds directly increased to 160 pounds, all the action scenes in it are personally battled, "the shoulders are wide and the board is thick, and the board inch head type eyes are infiltrated", Zheng Zhongji spent 1 year to train himself into this look.
"Aaron" is the first work written and directed by Zheng Zhongji
The story of the movie is told: Aaron, played by Zheng Zhongji, because of his ex-wife's gambling debts, lives with his 8-year-old daughter Yingying, but he never complains about half a sentence, when he pays off all debts, he completes his daughter's many-year wishes and takes her to Thailand for tourism, but unfortunately, soon after arriving in Thailand, her daughter was abducted by the kidnapper group.
Painfully losing his loved ones, in order to be able to stay in Thailand and continue to look for his daughter, Aaron did not hesitate to remarry Alain, played by the local overseas Chinese Zhou Xiuna, and secretly inquired about the news of the kidnapper group for two years. In order to extract the murderer, Aaron unconsciously becomes violent and fierce, gradually transforming into an avenger with blood-stained hands, going to prison for revenge, and finally he will regain his old good thoughts, or will he fall into the hell of hatred that will never be recovered?
The original intention of making this film: to be vigilant against all parents for the care of their children, can not be neglected
The idea of this movie stems from the news and newspapers that Zheng Zhongji often saw in the news and newspapers 3 years ago: children were abducted and sold, and they were insulted. At that time, Zheng Zhongji was very confused as to why such incidents occurred so often. It is said that Zheng Zhongji later made a real solution, and found that many times it was because parents thought that the environment was open and the place was familiar, so they relaxed their care for their children, which eventually led to the incident.
In fact, "Aaron" has been finished as early as last year, and a press conference was also held, when a Hong Kong media who was "not afraid of things" asked Zheng Zhongji: "If this kind of thing happens to you, what will you do?" ”
Zheng Zhongji also replied positively: "I believe that as long as parents do not neglect to take care of children, this kind of thing will basically not appear, of course, I also believe that the police can protect all citizens." I'm adamantly against committing the most, but I can do a lot of things for the sake of my children, like Aaron in the movie. ”
I believe that not only Zheng Zhongji, many of our parents can do "no remorse" for their children.
The cast of the film is quite interesting: Zheng Zhongji, Zhou Xiuna, Jiang Haowen, Fu Shunying
Zheng Zhongji - In the past, he has played too many funny roles, so that we all "don't remember" Zheng Zhongji's acting skills. This time, Zheng Zhongji sacrificed too much for "Aaron", this movie in addition to self-directing and self-acting, but also Zheng Zhongji's return to the "acting school" of the transformation of the work, just look at the movie stills have that taste, other needless to say, look forward to!
Zhou Xiuna – This is the second time they have worked with Zheng Zhongji, and their first collaboration on "The Great Musician. Soundtrack for Love", which also won the grand prize in Hong Kong in 2019. Zhou Xiuna, who is a model, has very good resources in recent years, such as "Ip Man Wai Chuan: Zhang Tianzhi", "Sweeping Drugs: Showdown Between Heaven and Earth", "Anti-Corruption Storm 4" have her figure, and the cooperation is also with super male gods such as Andy Lau, Gu Tianle and Zhang Zhilin. After experiencing these years of "polishing", it also makes people see Zhou Xiuna's things in addition to her body - acting skills.
Recently starred her and Zhang Jicong in "Motor. "Lena" has attracted much attention, and the film has also been selected as the opening film of the "Hong Kong Asian Film Festival 2021", and it is said that after watching "Motor. People in the industry who premiered "Lena" have given Zhou Xiuna a thumbs up, and it is no accident that this movie will be Zhou Xiuna's "masterpiece" since she entered the industry.
Jiang Haowen - This is really an old drama bone, and speaking of "black boy" is a representative of the late completion of the big instrument. From the time when there was no drama to shoot now, "without him Hong Kong film circle can not open the work", Jiang Haowen has experienced too much, acting skills and needless to say. Judging from the stills of the movie "Aaron", this time Jiang Haowen plays a "human trafficker", in which he and Zheng Zhongji will have a lot of exciting action scenes.
Fu Shunying - Many people are not familiar with this little girl, but people have been recognized by Gu Tianle at a young age, and when they were 5 years old, they participated in "Lovely You", when Gu Tianle loved Fu Shunying, and affirmed the acting skills of the little girl, and this "Lovely You" swept 5 awards in one fell swoop at the 35th Hong Kong Film Awards. It is worth mentioning that in addition to Fu Shunying's identity as an actor, she is also a voice actor, and her young age is really remarkable.
This time, she played the abducted daughter in the movie "Aaron" and looked forward to her wonderful performance.
Zheng Zhongji: I have made too many comedies, and this time I want to put away my smile and take it seriously
Over the years, Zheng Zhongji has deeply engraved the "Tyrannosaurus Brother" in the hearts of the audience, in many movies in Hong Kong, or at some award ceremonies, there are "Tyrannosaurus Brothers" figures, for this role no matter where it is set, the audience "buys it", and many film companies are well aware of this.
Zheng Zhongji has also publicly stated more than once: There may be dozens of movies in a year that find me, all of whom hope that I will play "Tyrannosaurus Brother", and some of the conditions given are very good, as long as I participate in the way of "Tyrannosaurus Brother", other things can be discussed.
Seriously, Zheng Zhongji really played the "Tyrannosaurus Brother" to life, speaking a "native vernacular" with a Guangxi Beihai accent, vulgar and direct, and really listened to the more he listened to it. There is even a famous dish that indirectly brings red. (Seriously, is this dish really a famous dish in Guangxi?) Why do people make this Guangxi famous dish on some short video platforms every day? ）
Perhaps Zheng Zhongji also knows that he is "getting more and more biased" on the road of actors, and it is rare to have such a good subject matter this time, and he should really put away his smile and be serious once.
What do you think about that? Is this "Aaron" worth looking forward to?
