If you want to choose one of the most regrettable characters in "Infernal Affairs 2",
Ni Yongxiao, played by Wu Zhenyu, is definitely the most vocal candidate.
In the play, although Ni Yongxiao is fierce and fierce, he shows the true color of the tyrant.
For the sake of the family, he not only did everything possible to wash away the family business, but also successfully removed the "four big men". Unfortunately, Han Chen, who was eventually unable to defeat the rebirth of Pan Ne, was set up by Han Chen with his life and shot in the food stall that his father often went to by the hand of Huang Sir.
But before he died, he desperately took his last breath to hide the undercover identity of his brother Chen Yongren, which can be described as bowing down for the sake of the family and dying. Even as a villain, Ni Yongxiao still exudes admirable personality charm, which makes many viewers lament his ending.
Outside the play, Wu Zhenyu was nominated for the 23rd Academy Awards for Best Actor with the role of Ni Yongxiao.
Because "Infernal Affairs 2" was a well-known film in that year, Wu Zhenyu's performance as the lead actor in the film was particularly dazzling, and he was naturally one of the popular candidates who won the film emperor of that year.
But everyone never expected that in 2003, when "Infernal Affairs 2" was released, "Big Man with Great Wisdom" starring Andy Lau and Cecilia Cheung actually became a dark horse, not only defeating "Infernal Affairs 2" at the box office, but also sweeping the Academy Awards ceremony that year, so that Wu Zhenyu lost the most likely opportunity to win the award, and still has no honor of the film emperor.
Therefore, it is completely suspenseful to say that Ni Yongxiao is the most regrettable character in "Infernal Affairs 2".
Regrets in reality have become iron memories with the passage of time, and no one can change the facts even if they are unwilling.
But for the regrets in the play, we can start a brain discussion under the premise of respecting the story setting:
Does Ni Yongxiao have a chance to win the duel with Han Chen?
Many people think that the reason why Ni Yongxiao lost is mainly because he did not expect that his family would be held hostage by the Thais.
This meant that as long as his family was sent to a safer place to take care of, Han Chen lost his trump card of threatening Ni Yongxiao.
Anger can not anger Ni Yongxiao, then Han Chen's fate to fight the situation is ineffective, huang sir although the revenge, but hindered by his official identity can only arrest Ni Yongxiao to arrest, which allows Ah Xiao to win breathing space, the next round of the game.
This hypothesis seems to make sense on the surface, but in fact it overestimates the remnants of ni Yongxiao's game with Han Chen.
In order to make the family go the right way, Ni Yongxiao successively removed the "four big men" who balanced with Han Chen, and also killed Luo Ji, who was undercover but had always been a confidant, leaving only the third uncle and Chen Yongren who could be used and trusted.
The third uncle was replaced by a Filipino maid because of Han Chen's concealment of the sea plan; Chen Yongren was not only a hairy boy who had just debuted, but also an undercover agent, whether it was the prestige of the road or his own wishes, he would not let him be willing to be the leader of the underworld.
Therefore, even if Ni Yongxiao did not die in the food stall, who else could he find to resist the overwhelming Han Chen?
Therefore, if Ni Yongxiao wanted to take back a city, he could only let him plan a better assassination plan and strive to kill with one blow.
However, I think that even if Ni Yongxiao can "read the file and start over", it should be difficult to plan a better plan to assassinate Han Chen. After all, sending Han Chen to Thailand to kill in the name of "ascending to the throne" was the most perfect way at that time.
Because Han Chen was a righteous man and extremely capable, black and white were killed, and his local power and prestige were extremely high, so that Ni Yongxiao, who ruled the underworld on the surface, did not dare to assassinate him like the "four big men".
The "four big men" have always been dissatisfied with the Ni family and each pregnant with a ghost fetus, wanting to use interests to tempt them to take out Han Chen, afraid that they will only hit the grass and snake, so that the shrewd Han Chen will be prepared to deal with it in advance.
Therefore, sending Han Chen to a foreign country where he was not familiar with the place of life was almost the only choice to carry out assassination, if there was any miscalculation, it was that he did not send a trustworthy person to Thailand to mend the knife, and afterwards he did not send someone to Thailand to investigate whether Han Chen was really dead.
But on the other hand, this also shows that there are not many people who Ni Yongxiao can actually use and trust, and when facing an opponent of Han Chen's level, the people who can be used are simply stretched.
To sum up, it was impossible for Ni Yongxiao to easily get rid of Han Chen like the "four big guys".
So, will he choose to "coexist peacefully" with Han Chen? I think it is also impossible, for two main reasons.
First, he attaches great importance to family affection, and hates the person who killed his father to the bone, even if he can bear not to kill Han Chen for the sake of the overall situation, he will not let go of Mary, who bought a murderer to kill Ni Kun.
But Mary is Han Chen's most beloved person, if Ni Yongxiao kills Mary, Han Chen will not share the sky with him.
Therefore, when Mary promised Huang Sir to get rid of Ni Kun, Ni Yongxiao and Han Chen were doomed to coexist peacefully.
Second, Huang Sir and Mary are too extreme to allow Ni Yongxiao and Han Chen to enter the "sweet period" of peaceful coexistence.
The cause of all the events in "Infernal Affairs" stems from the secret collusion between Huang Sir and Mary to instruct Liu Jianming to assassinate Ni Kun.
And this happened is inevitable, because Huang Sir and Mary are both radicals and like to do things with swords and edges.
Even if Ni Kun didn't kill Chengcheng or Ni Yongxiao forgave Mary's behavior for the first time, the two of them wouldn't stop there.
The assassination could not be successful, peaceful coexistence was impossible, and Ni Yongxiao and Han Chen were destined to go to a situation of life and death.
And the master of the move, the victory or defeat is always between one move.
Ni Yongxiao and Han Chen both have fatal emotional weaknesses, the former is family, the latter is Mary.
Ni Yongxiao did not grasp Han Chen's weakness and directly killed Mary, but instead aroused Han Chen's fighting spirit and made him completely black.
Han Chen successfully grasped Ni Yongxiao's life gate and used Ni Yongxiao's attachment to his relatives to set up a killing situation.
From the gap in this move, it can be seen that Ni Yongxiao is not Han Chen's opponent, and under the premise of respecting the original story setting, he has no way to win this life-and-death battle.
I am a wooden branch of the dangerous building, everyone is right", "If I give the pen to you, is it possible for Ni Yongxiao to defeat Han Chen in "Infernal Affairs 2"?" "What's the point? Feel free to leave your comments below.
