At the time when Hong Kong action movies were popular;
Except for those martial arts stars who are the protagonists;
Many viewers also paid attention to some excellent villain supporting characters;
For example, Zhang Yaoyang, Zou Zhaolong and so on.
And these villains are also very capable of fighting;
Today, Al-Le brings you a classic villain actor in the original Hong Kong film, Lian Kai.
In the movie "Blue Blood and Blue Sky", he fought with the lead actor Zhao Wenzhuo;
However, even Kai's debut timing is also a little late.
He debuted just in time for the loneliness of Hong Kong action movies;
So within a few years it began to fall.
After a period of time in the TVB series, he came to the mainland to develop;
Only then did it gradually begin to be known to everyone again.
For example, Qi Ruhai in "The Negotiator";
Wang Jichuan in "Meet Wang Lichuan" and so on.
It can be said that even Kai, the actor, is also very good;
But now Lian Kai's resources seem to be getting worse and worse.
In 19 years to the present;
For more than two years, Not a single new work has been broadcast in Lian Kai.
And recently starred in a network big work "The Scepter of Life and Death";
And the movie is also directly "thrown on the street" after it is launched.
So what about this "Scepter of Life and Death"?
Let's take a look at it with Aler.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" >1</h1>
The story of this movie is that Zhou Xiao (Lian Kai) has a dream of becoming a hero;
Went to Belgrade and wanted to work as a war correspondent there.
But the cruelty of war is not just about destroying cities;
It also destroyed Zhou Xiao's spiritual home;
After Zhou Xiao became a hero, he began to become a "dog bear".
Pulling another brother all day without doing anything to do the business of a used car;
Live a life of wine, meat and beauty.
But then because of gambling debts and used car accidents;
Zhou Xiao also provoked a black boss.
The black boss let him grab it in the museum in nine days;
The royal scepter that was exhibited paid off the debt, or else his life would be used to pay it off.
And Because of this reason, Zhou Xiao was also caught in a dilemma;
However, Zhou Xiao accidentally met a Chinese girl, Zhang Jin;
This girl found Zhou Xiao from far and wide and made her father.
Confronted with the daughter who fell from heaven and robbed the scepter;
Zhou Xiao was also gradually embarrassed.
The film is also focused on whether Zhou Xiao can be from a "dog bear";
The topic of heroism has once again metamorphosed.
Among them, as the main actor, everyone is Lian Kai, the actor;
His acting skills were still very good at the beginning;
There are some classic works and roles.
As the heroine, it is Fei Weini, a newcomer actor;
He has starred in Wu Qilong's version of "The Legend of the New White-Haired Witch" and Jiang Xin's "The Last Martial Forest".
However, most of them are only supporting roles, this time the two form a "father-daughter file";
This lineup can also be regarded as more recognizable.
However, the production level of the network big movie is still very "fluttering street";
After Ah Le finished watching this "Scepter of Life and Death";
It is also a sigh of Lian Kai, an excellent actor.
In the muddy waters of online movies, it is also impossible to develop;
Let's continue to show Ah Le some of the evaluations about "The Scepter of Life and Death".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="96" >2</h1>
While watching this movie;
Al-Le always had a sense of being very familiar with its plot;
It seems to be Jackie Chan's "Shanghai Noon" movie.
The plot has many similarities;
Although the time is different, the two movies above the main line are incomparably the same;
It is a modern version of "Shanghai Noon".
And the theme of this movie is still very good in The view of Al-Le;
However, the shaping of the script is very crotch-pulling.
First of all, the title of this film work is called "The Scepter of Life and Death";
And it also mentions some topics about the scepter.
However, there are very few plots related to the scepter in the main film;
There are some suspicions of "selling dog meat with sheep's head";
It seems that the scepter thing is just to arrange something for the protagonist.
In the movie, the daughter who forcibly added to the male protagonist;
In fact, it does not have much of a driving effect on the plot of the whole movie;
On the contrary, it seems to be a little cumbersome.
For actors, Lian Kai's acting skills are still very online;
It's just that the other actors are a bit struggling, and they are all acting for the sake of acting.
Because the plot takes place in a foreign country;
So in addition to a few protagonists, there are a lot of foreign actors.
This is still a bit of a plus for the construction of the film;
After all, it is very suitable for the area where the story takes place.
Only with the addition of these foreign actors;
The film doesn't seem to know how to shape it anymore.
Say that it is a comedy work, the theme of which is still relatively positive;
Saying that it is a formal drama work, some places are quite funny.
Constantly oscillating between these two types;
The comedic effect was diluted a lot by those actors abroad;
The effect of the main drama has been diluted a lot by domestic actors;
Then it went back and forth, and it became a work of four different differences.
And Lian Kai has presented such a "bad film" to the audience after more than two years;
It really made Aler feel a little sad.
The original classic villain actor no longer exists;
The market left for Lian Kai is not too much.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="127" >3</h1>
In fact, the net is a big stall of muddy waters;
Even if excellent actors enter it, it is inevitable that they will be "fishy".
Previously, Wang Baoqiang's "Legend of Debao of Shaolin Temple" did not receive much recognition.
It is completely with Wang Baoqiang and Liu Haoran to partner again;
And the acting skills can stand up, so there is a decent score;
But there are still many loopholes in the plot.
So in today's online movie works, excellent actors can indeed support acting skills;
But they can't stand the plot, there are too many "bad" scripts.
Even if many film emperors join the film queen, they may not be able to be excellent;
The current development of online movies still needs some good screenwriters and directors.
There are many excellent themes, it depends on whether you can write an excellent script;
Lian Kai is still in the process of later development;
For the script of online movies, do more screening;
Otherwise, sooner or later, it will fall to the point where there is no drama to shoot.
Well, today's introduction to the online movie "The Scepter of Life and Death" starring Lian Kai has ended here;
