Before getting started, let's talk about Hong Kong movies.
"Hong Kong movies no longer exist", the higher the call, the stronger the burst will be. In recent years, there have been very few original Hong Kong films, and last year, Qiu Litao's "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" won a rich box office (1.3 billion) and a good reputation with the reversed plot and the bonus of Hua Tsai and Liu Qingyun, but how Duo Dad looked at it was associated with the rescue uncle Liam Neeson's "Unidentified". This year's 51-file "Chasing the Tiger and Catching the Dragon" performed mediocrely, and "True Three Kingdoms Unmatched" collapsed in word of mouth. "What the hell is wrong with Hong Kong movies?"
Galaxy Image delivered a satisfactory answer, Zheng Baorui returned to its true colors, and the film "Wisdom Teeth" directed by him represented the return of the original Hong Kong film domineering.
Chen Guanxi vs Li Cansen, "Dog Bites Dog"
Speaking of Zheng Baorui, it is inevitable to think of the Journey to the West series "The Great Haunting of the Heavenly Palace", "Three Dozen White Bone Essences", and "Daughter Country", but the box office and word-of-mouth are mixed. But what about Zheng Baorui before, I believe that very few people know, at least Duo Dad is one of them, if it is not "Wisdom Teeth", I don't know that "Monster", "Dog Bites Dog", "Accident" are all from his hand.
Wisdom Teeth poster
The movie "Wisdom Teeth" once again awakens the memories of the fierce Hong Kong film, and the long-lost dark tension impacts the senses. Zheng Baorui focuses on the darkest corner of Hong Kong's bottom floor - the junkyard, the whole film is only black and white, and the single color shows a strong tension. If you use color pictures, many scenes of muddy water may cause discomfort. The English name of the film is "Limbo", which means the outer edge of hell (with religious overtones), which perfectly fits the social background that the film focuses on.
Wisdom Teeth represents pain that cannot be cut off
Hong Kong's shady junkyard
For Hong Kong, there is no hidden "corner" under the brightly lit cloak.
Lin Jiadong dedicates his acting skills like a movie emperor
For Zhan Ge (Lin Jiadong), Wang Tao's pregnant wife became a vegetative person due to drug driving, and the thorns in her heart that were difficult to extricate herself accumulated with huge resentment, and when she met Wang Tao again, it was like a volcano bursting out, and the hatred could not be suppressed.
Liu Yaser is blue
For Wang Tao (Liu Yaser), a marginal figure who is mixed at the bottom, because of his own faults, he deeply hurt Brother Zhan's family, self-blame and guilt are irreparable pains, and he meets Brother Zhan again and is determined to go to the soup to help him.
Hiroshi Ikeuchi is a master of the art
For yamada (Hiroyuki Ikeuchi), the deformed family background creates his pathological psychology, with a mother-loving complex and a hand fetish, living in a garbage dump all day. Even if many women are mutilated, they still cannot fill the gap in their hearts.
Lin Jiadong Film Emperor level performance
Lin Jiadong's melancholy eyes
Brother Zhan, played by Lin Jiadong, has complex emotional entanglements.
The pregnant wife suffered a car accident, the baby was lifeless, and the wife became a vegetative person and was depressed all the time.
As an old police detective, he has a sense of smell that is different from ordinary people, and he does not follow the conventional way of handling cases and works diligently.
Treating the younger generation, after Ren Kai lost his gun, he resolutely modified the file system and reversed the pistol numbers of the two.
Meeting the "enemy" Wang Tao is a hidden tolerance as a policeman and a hatred as a husband.
The dark corners behind the bustle are shocking
When Wang Tao "atones for her sins", Zhan Ge first retaliated by using her network and exposing her informant identity. After learning of Wang Tao's situation and being kidnapped by a serial killer, Zhan Ge reverses into a redeemer.
Lin Jiadong perfectly presents the complex emotions of Zhan Ge, forbearance, anger, revenge, sympathy, redemption, each emotion is measured, relaxed, and perfectly fits with the role, which can be called the acting skills of the film emperor. I don't know if this time "Wisdom Teeth" can add another trophy to Lin Jiadong.
Brother Zhan was eventually injured by the panicked Wang Tao to the point of "falling", and Lin Jiadong's facial expression was really amazing. There is the pain of being shot, the joy of salvation, the regret of death, the joy of redemption, and it is perfect.
Voiceover, now the topic.
Liu Yaser is blue out of blue
Liu Yaser, a mainland actor in 1989, played Wang Tao, a marginalized person in "Wisdom Teeth".
Wang Tao Stills
As an orphan, Wang Tao was born as a marginalized person in society, mixed in the circle of theft and drugs. Marginalized people who have been abandoned by society early are just covered by the prosperity of the city, like "wisdom teeth", which cannot be abandoned, but it is thought-provoking.
Wang Tao hit Zhan Ge's pregnant wife because of a drug drive, and although she served a sentence, she was pure in nature and could not let go of the evil deeds she had committed. Until she met Brother Zhan again, she was both scared and guilty, and wanted to escape, but she bravely chose redemption.
Wang Tao's suffering is Liu Yaser's "sacrifice" as an actor
Liu Yaser, whose thin body hides huge energy, vividly expresses Wang Tao's helplessness, guilt, and desire to survive.
The helplessness of wandering at the bottom of life, forced to steal and drugs for a living, doomed to a chaotic life only to live. Liu Yaser not only in the makeup, but even in the details of the body language, will be on the edge of society Wang Tao interpreted so deeply, touching.
Wang Tao was severely beaten by the gang for being an informant
When Wang Tao witnessed Brother Zhan's wife, turning into a vegetative person lying on the bed and surviving by the instrument, at this time, Liu Yaser perfectly presented Wang Tao's inner trepidation, grief, and guilt through the slight twitching of his eyes and limbs.
Wang Tao offered to be Zhan Ge's informant, using her network to help find clues to the serial murders. But Brother Zhan not only slammed and humiliated Wang Tao, but also deliberately exposed her identity as an informant when investigating the case.
One of the biggest scenes since Liu Yaser entered the industry has never had a dew point
Liu Yaser, whose small body is tortured in the movie, not only has to withstand the beating of Brother Zhan, but also has to be beaten, hunted down, and splashed with swill by the vicious gangsters. But she shows Wang Tao's desperate desire to survive very tenaciously, even if she is kidnapped or even raped by the murderer, she will still resist desperately with her own weak strength, like a hysterical indictment of an unfair fate.
When filming "Wisdom Teeth", injuries were a common occurrence for Arthur Liu, which was not so much a "sacrifice" as a dedication, and the professionalism that an actor should have. Liu Yaser used his own efforts to successfully shape Wang Tao, even in front of the Emperor of Shadows, he was no less impressive.
Liu Yaser He Xu people also
In 2019's "Mai Lu Ren", Liu Yaser was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 39th Hong Kong Film Awards for her single mother in the play. In 2020, he cooperated with Lin Jiadong's "Wisdom Teeth", as the only Chinese film, and was shortlisted for the special screening unit of the 71st Berlin Film Festival this year. Liu Yaser's name suddenly entered the public's field of vision because of two Hong Kong-flavored movies.
For the post-80s generation, the former "My Type I Show" was popular in the streets, the first civilian talent show in the mainland turned out, and many young people with musical dreams flocked to it.
"My Type I Show" is a singing talent show jointly created by SMG Group and Universal Records and grown up on the Oriental Satellite TV platform. With its consistent adherence to musicality, internationalization and fashion sense, the program has won benign feedback and support from the market, and has successively received commercial support from international brands such as Laika and Sprite, and excellent program brands with high loyalty in the audience group of 15-29 years old.
The show began in 2004 and has been held for six sessions since 2009. The previous champions are Zhang Jie (1st, 2004), Liu Wei (2nd, 2005), Wang Xiaokun (3rd, 2006), OP (Liu Xin, Wu Bin, Ma Haisheng, Gao Yang) (4th, 2007), Tang Hanxiao (5th, 2008), Yu Chaoying (6th, 2009), representative figures: Zhang Jie, Qi Wei, Xue Zhiqian, Liu Wei, Yuan Chengjie, Zhao Yingjun.
From the debut of "My Type I Show", in the end, only Xue Zhiqian, Zhang Jie, Zhao Yingjun, Qi Wei became an actor, Yuan Chengjie became a multi-habitat artist, and Liu Wei of the variety show was still adhering to his musical dream.
Liu Xin of the OP group at that time is now Liu Yaser
Duo Dad was also a fan of "My Type Me Show", and it was really touching to watch young people of similar age bravely show themselves in front of the TV screen. The fourth "I Type Me Show", a tomboy with short hair and a beautiful face, singing is always a bit out of tune, although it failed to squeeze into the top 10, and then recruited by Wu Bin and Ma Haisheng to form an OP group, Liu Xin, who began rapping, Duo Dad can still remember her playfulness and cuteness at that time.
Once in the interview of "Mai Luren", Liu Yaser also said that it was precisely because he found that he sang out of tune and was not the material for making music, so he chose to be an actor.
In 2011, he starred in the New Year comedy "Quit Smoking and Not Drinking" directed by Zhu Shimao, and began to enter the show business circle, and his acting skills at this time were very young.
"Quit Smoking and Not Drinking" Liu Yaser Stills
In 2013, Liu Yaser received the film "To Youth", an important turning point in her life, under the guidance of director Zhao Wei, Zhu Xiaobei, played by Liu Yaser, left a deep impression on the audience and gained a higher popularity, at the same time, Liu Xin's name was gradually forgotten.
"To Youth" Liu Yaser stills
After that, Liu Yaser participated in many film and television dramas, but she was still tepid, and most of the supporting roles she always could not stir up waves.
Until 2019, director Huang Qingxun's "Mai Luren" gathered all the big names in Hong Kong: Aaron Kwok, Miriam Yeung, Wan Ziliang, Zhang Daming, Bao Qijing. As the only mainland actor Liu Yaser, who played a single mother (supporting role) in the film, the unmarried Liu Yaser won the nomination for best supporting actress at the 39th Hong Kong Film Awards with her own efforts and excellent acting skills, which was recognized by the audience and favored by the market.

Liu Yaser in "Wisdom Teeth", compared with the role that just debuted, has transformed into a veritable actor, and her efforts and sobriety are now a clear stream in the entertainment circle where traffic is dominant.
Liu Yaser, work hard to move forward, the future can be expected.
