The movie "Angry Scalper" is being screened on iQiyi, and this crime action movie licensed by the genuine IP has been attracting much attention since its launch.
As of the time of this article, "Angry Scalper" has received 6.67 million revenues on the iQiyi platform, and the number of moviegoers has exceeded 2.2 million, and the real-time popularity is also high.
Although the film is only 78 minutes long and is online again, this remake film has been a great success, and the lead actors Wu Fan, Dong Xuan, and Cui Zhijia are with excellent acting skills to make "Angry Scalper" into a Hollywood blockbuster.
Remake the movie is not easy, after all, many audiences are preconceived, a little careless is easy to Waterloo, and "Angry Scalper" cleverly avoids this, another way, for this original Korean film to give a lot of Chinese unique elements, the most brilliant is the hard bridge hard horse kung fu and villain role of the persona, after watching the feeling is that Wu Fan play is too burning, and the charming villain role is more eye-catching.
First, Wu Fan's fight scene is still explosive. As one of the mainland action actors "Double Wu", Wu Fan is 2 years younger than Wu Jing, is a national athlete of martial arts level, 20 years ago the launch of the TV series "Jingwu Hero Chen Zhen", let the audience see the hard bridge hard horse, fist to flesh action scenes, and began to like Wu Fan.
In the movie "Angry Scalper", the iron-blooded tough man Batuu, played by Wu Fan, once again showed his excellent martial arts skills, which made many viewers re-set off childhood memories. In the action scene setting of "Angry Scalper", there is no flower fist embroidery legs and cool costumes, fists to flesh, beckoning blood, especially in the duel with the villain, the batuu action under the close-up lens is sometimes agile and fast, sometimes simple and rude, forming a strong visual impact on the audience's eyeballs.
I have to say that from the perspective of action scene design alone, "Angry Scalper" perfectly shows the essence of Chinese martial arts, and gives the characters a sense of violent beauty in the back and forth between the panorama and close-up shots, which is quite Hollywood blockbuster.
Second, Gu Bin's villain is so charming. In many crime movies, the villains are foils, the people are mostly reckless and sinister, and the IQ is low, but in "Angry Scalper", the villain Bai Mao, played by Gu Bin, has subverted this cognition.
Gu Bin, who is a model, has no choice in appearance and figure, and it is difficult for the villain who plays a tall and handsome to make the audience hate. But Gu Bin took a different path, under the appearance of the tall and handsome, gave the villain Bai Mao a delicate action expression, coupled with a fierce style of handling, which simply made people love and hate.
Third, the plot is laid out with tension and relaxation. Although "Angry Scalper" is only 78 minutes long, and there are many action scenes, it does not affect the layers of the plot, explaining the identity of the characters, creating contradictions and conflicts, and designing the background ending, these elements are the same, simple and bright, without dragging mud and water.
In the eyes of outsiders, Batuu, who is honest and responsible, is actually a fighting champion, and after meeting his true love, he chose to retire, although the life in the land of faded halos was somewhat dull, and he often suffered from white eyes and bullying, but he chose to endure for the sake of his family. However, after facing the indifference of his wife who was hurt and the people around him, Batuu, who was touched to the bottom line, chose to fight back, facing the powerful villain, and using his fist to prove to the world that the former king had returned again. Such a plot design is the usual technique used by many Hollywood blockbusters, and "Angry Scalper" is shot with tension and relaxation, the plot is clear and clear, and the contradictory design is completed in one go, burning from beginning to end.
Fourth, respect the original and jump out of the original. The main line of contradiction in "Angry Scalper" is that Tana, played by Dong Xuan, was kidnapped, and the plot design respected the original Korean film, but gave Tana a weaker image in the character design, which is also Dong Xuan's unique performance style, which is more pitiful than the heroine in the original Korean film.
Similarly, compared to the male protagonist played by Ma Dong-seok in the original Korean film, Wu Fan is also gentler in stature and appearance. That is to say, this remake of "Angry Scalper" gives the male and female protagonists more weak physical signs, and when encountering difficulties and oppression, a strong rebound has erupted, from extremely weak to extremely strong, between one positive and one negative, the conflict reversal is more obvious, and the design idea of respecting the original and jumping out of the original work of "Angry Scalper" is vividly expressed.
