In 2010, Jiang Wen washed away the shame of the defeat of the previous movie with "Let the Bullets Fly" and achieved fame and fortune.
Not only did the film gross 670 million 11 years ago, but it is still enjoyable because the plot adaptation was so good.
It's a response to one of his lines in the movie: I'm going to stand and make money!"
The main reason why "Let the Bullets Fly" has become an enduring classic movie is that the script is so well adapted.
Like other films adapted from novels, Let the Bullets Fly also has its original novel, Ma Zhitu's Ten Tales of the Night Tan.
But the difference is that the script of "Let the Bullets Fly" only follows some of the settings of "The Tale of the Thief" in "Ten Tales of the Night Tan", and the development of the whole story is far from the original, resulting in the audience not being able to fully appreciate the film in combination with the plot of the original.
However, Jiang Wen has dug many intriguing "pits" in the movie, making people unable to let go of some deliberately unclear details in the plot for a long time, even if they watch the movie many times, they can still get new discoveries from it.
There are many "pits" left by Jiang Wen in the movie, and today I mainly want to discuss with you the next "pit" about women, that is:
Is the identity of The flower sister really just an undercover so simple?
Hua Jie's first appearance in the movie is in the drumming performance that welcomes the new county magistrate into the city, at this time she is a dancer in the c position, and through the dance posture, she immediately captured the eyes of Zhang Mazi, Master Tang, the second and third elders.
Subsequently, Zhang Mazi went into the city to execute the "ma bandit" to establish his prestige, and the bloody footage during the execution made the onlookers panic, but Hua Jie behaved very relaxedly and calmly blew away the feathers that came to her face.
Calm in the face of things, not chaotic, but also in the hands and feet to attract the attention of big people, at that time I was convinced that this flower sister who appeared earlier than Huang Shilang would certainly not be a simple role.
However, in the next scene, There are not many shots of Hua Jie, and it seems that she has been wandering outside the struggle between Huang Silang and Zhang Mazi, making many unpredictable behaviors, such as:
Obviously, it was Huang Silang who instructed her to take the initiative to approach Zhang Mazi and his gang, and let her go undercover to find out the true purpose of Zhang Mazi and his party.
However, Sister Hua already knew that Zhang Mazi was not the real county magistrate, but she did not immediately inform Huang Silang, so that Huang Silang did not find out from the province that Zhang Mazi was not the governor of Ma County until the end, losing the opportunity to preemptively attack.
If it is because of her "conscience discovery" and hopes to assist Zhang Mazi in eradicating the evil gentleman Huang Silang, then she let the stand-in Huang Silang run away at a critical moment, which almost caused Zhang Mazi's plan to mobilize the masses to fail, but only explained that she was "temporarily negligent" and very suspicious.
After all, the stand-in Huang Silang was not only tied to death at that time, but also based on his greedy and fearful personality, he could not do such a brave and strategic thing as escaping from prison alone, so it is not difficult to conclude that the guarding Flower Sister deliberately let go of the stand-in.
Going undercover for Huang Shilang but not saying all the information he has, expressing loyalty to Zhang Mazi but secretly making it bad, is what Hua Jie did just to show that she is unreliable and is a "wall grass"?
"Wall head grass" is mostly some people with weak personalities, timid and afraid of things, and Tang Shiye, played by Ge You in the movie, is a typical representative. In contrast, how can the flower sister who can calmly face Huang Silang and Zhang Mazi at gunpoint be the setting of "wall head grass"?
Since it is not a "wall head grass", what Hua Jie has done is very interesting.
First of all, she was an undercover agent sent by Huang Silang to Zhang Mazi, but most of the time she was "negligent in her duties".
Because from the end of Huang Silang's final defeat in Goose City, Hua Jie's undercover agent was actually very unsuccessful.
She infiltrated Zhang Mazi's interior tomorrow morning, but did not provide Huang Silang with the most useful information as instructed.
Huang Silang was at a disadvantage in many encounters with Zhang Mazi, precisely because he misjudged the strength of the other party.
This led to the loss of Hu Wan, fake Mazi and many other combat strengths, and he could only passively wait for reinforcements from Brigadier Guo in the final decisive battle.
It can be said that Huang Silang was actually defeated after his own strength was weakened step by step, and finally could not "fight" with Zhang Mazi.
Secondly, her performance in Zhang Mazi's gang is also very unreliable, and she has not done "serious things", even if she has made trouble.
Before the decisive battle with Huang Silang, Zhang Mazi only arranged one formal task for Hua Jie, that is, to guard the substitute Huang Silang.
As a result, the well-tied stand-in Huang Silang fled in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Mazi was also asked to divide the important combat force of the old third at the critical time of the decisive battle to pursue the missing flower sister and the stand-in.
Although in the end, the third elder chased both of them back, and Hua Jie also gave Zhang Mazi a plausible explanation.
However, from the last two clues that Hua Jie and Lao San took the lead in breaking away from Zhang Mazi, and the two clues that Lao Qi quietly told Zhang Mazi about Hua Jie's "secret", it can be inferred that Hua Jie was definitely the key person who finally caused Zhang Mazi's team to fall apart.
The undercover did not do their best, and the bandits should be unfaithful, but they are not "wall grass", and the flower sister can only be an identity:
Neither the city nor the ambitions were lost to Huang Silang and Zhang Mazi's female tyrants.
In fact, in the scene where Huang Silang raided Hua Jie's "office", it can be seen that she has betrayed Huang Silang.
Because Jiang Wen deliberately did not photograph the items in the box, many people thought that what Hua Jie gave to Huang Silang at this time must be related items to Zhang Mazi that she betrayed. Otherwise, huang Silang, who was superior in numbers, would not turn around and leave.
However, Huang Silang is indeed numerous, but the bullet has no eyes, and a gunfight really broke out, and Huang Silang, who is standing at the front, can really retreat in front of the second and third elders with accurate marksmanship?
Huang Silang is a person who is sparing his life, and even once found a substitute to attend a risky occasion, and will not easily make the act of breaking the net, so he came to find Hua Jie not for desperation, but to test whether this "ineffective" undercover agent is a defection.
As a result, not only did she see Sister Hua and the second and third elders playing hotly, but she also used clever words to defuse the dangerous situation, so she knew that Sister Hua was no longer "her own person", so she would say that she had become a little phoenix fairy when she left.
Xiao Fengxian is a famous chivalrous prostitute who once assisted Cai Yi in escaping from Yuan Shikai's "clutches". Huang Silang compared Hua Jie to Xiao Fengxian, which is obviously to tell the audience in disguise that Hua Jie is no longer his undercover.
Since this is the case, what Sister Hua gave to Huang Silang will certainly not be a relic of betrayal of Zhang Mazi, but most likely her own full wealth. Because she once said that she bought it back by Huang Silang, and now she has given huang Silang all her wealth, that is, she officially told the other party: I have cut off you twice, and I am no longer your person.
Since Huang Silang had come to fight desperately, he had achieved his goal after knowing that Sister Hua had defected, so he threw a cruel word and left.
Why didn't Sister Hua continue to mix with Huang Silang?
Because Huang Silang's gang obviously despised her, thinking that she was just a tool for selling her flesh, and there was no future in following them.
And from Zhang Mazi's gang, Hua Jie saw the hope of getting ahead:
The second and third elders liked her and could take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of her; Zhang Mazi himself was very righteous, as long as he did not do anything to hurt him and the people around him, even a liar like Master Tang could be sheltered.
It can be said that Zhang Mazi and his gang can become a "hotbed" for people like Hua Jie, who are from a low birth, to become famous.
However, Sister Hua did not plan to follow Zhang Mazi all the time, because Zhang Mazi was too particular about jianghu pride and chivalry.
If it were not for Huang Silang's design to kill the sixth son, Zhang Mazi would not have shown the determination to do something big at all, such a person is doomed to have no day in the chaotic world, and he can only seek food and clothing at most.
And Sister Hua doesn't just want to have food and clothing, she wants to do a big job, she wants to break out of Goose City to Shanghai, so she has to set up her own portal.
Therefore, she did not wholeheartedly assist Zhang Mazi, and even let go of the stand-in at a critical time, leading the old three who had always wanted to be the boss but were pinched to death by her to pursue him.
After leaving Zhang Mazi's sphere of influence, Sister Hua had enough confidence to "pajamas" The third elder and her to stand on their own, and even through the third elder, the fourth, fifth and seventh elders were pulled together to "run away".
Because when discussing how to deal with the money of the two major families, except for the second eldest, no one else understands why Zhang Mazi does not want money and wants to die Huang Silang, they only want to make money in the chaotic world, and they are not too serious about the righteousness of the jianghu.
In fact, Sister Hua did succeed, and she finally changed into the same military uniform as Zhang Mazi, took Zhang Mazi's double gun, and took his brothers to leave Goose City on bicycles and take a train to Pudong.
From a maiko who started out as a low-level maiko to the final leader who went to Shanghai with the ambition of a cadre, Hua Jie completed a complete identity transformation.
Compared with Huang Silang, who has destroyed five generations of ancestral inheritance, compared to Zhang Mazi, who won but became a lonely family, Hua Jie is the real big winner in "Let the Bullets Fly".
I am a wooden branch of the dangerous building, everyone on the "pit" left by Jiang Wen in the movie: the identity of the flower sister, is it so simple to go undercover? "What's the point? Feel free to leave your comments below.
