Chapter 36 "The Evil Doesn't Suppress the Righteousness" In the summer archives of 2018, "Evilness Doesn't Suppress the Righteousness" directed by Jiang Wen is definitely one of the most anticipated movies by most fans.
began with "Let the Bullets Fly", the four-year Beiyang trilogy, finally ushered in the final chapter.
2010's "Let the Bullets Fly" has an amazing effect, with a good box office and good reputation. At the end of 2014's "One Step Away", both box office and word of mouth lost. In 2018, according to the convention of one good and one bad, the movie is probably very good-looking. After watching the movie's promo, I became more determined. The film is adapted from Zhang Beihai's martial arts novel "Xia Yin". Douban gave the synopsis: North of Beijing during the period of Beiyang. Li Tianran, a young martial artist, witnessed his brother Zhu Qianlong colluding with Japanese spy Neichiro to kill Master's family. Naturally Li Tianran escaped from the gun and was rescued by the American doctor Hendler. After Li Tianran recovered from his injury, he went to aesthetic medicine for many years, and at the same time received special agent training. In early 1937, Li Tianran was suddenly ordered to return to China. On the eve of the "July 7 Incident", Peiping, the city of international spies, was a mixture of Chinese and Western nations, and there were many hills. Every moment is full of temptation and murder. Li Tianran, who is bent on revenge, didn't know that he was involved in a conspiracy and disrupted a game of chess. At that moment, it was like Bruce Lee breaking into the spy capital of Casablanca. The former warrior Lan Qingfeng was mysterious and unpredictable. He had a close relationship with Zhu Qianlong and Neichiro, and he had a sibling relationship with Hendler. Friend or foe? Obscure. As the Sino-Japanese crisis continues to escalate, the game between the parties has intensified. Li Tianran, who has been bewitched by lies many times and missed the opportunity, finally made up his mind to start the revenge action with the help of Hongyan. Let’s look at how Li Tianran, who bears the hatred of the country and the family and is wise and courageous, can clean up the muddy water! The
article has not shy away from the description of violence and sex, even reaching the level of obsession. As an old Beijinger, Jiang Wen has his own arrogance and unwillingness to admit defeat. People who have been in contact with Jiang Wen have to admit that Jiang Wen is clever, and Feng Xiaogang also expresses his admiration for Jiang Wen in "My Youth First": "My question is how can I achieve good standards. Teacher Jiang is not the case. His problem is how to control his talents. For him, the biggest enemy is overflowing intelligence." "He is a man who wants to be a commander, not a soldier under him. He is. His heart is very high and he has this ability. He hopes to surpass anyone. My opinion is that if he doesn't say anything, he may think that Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jia Zhangke, and Lu Chuan are nothing." From "Sunny Day" In the beginning, Jiang Wen's talents were presented to the public. This can be seen from the adaptation rights of "Xia Yin". Gao Xiaosong posted on Weibo: "A few years ago, I read "Xia Yin" and couldn't put it down. I hurriedly asked the author Mr. Zhang Beihai to buy the film adaptation rights and was told that he had been bought by Jiang Wen. After three seconds of depression, his tears broke into laughter, Jiang Wen shot It must be much better than I did. A few years later, the film was made. I just told Lao Jiang that he would come to "Xiao Shuo" and talk about Beijing in the old age." The high-profile "short, big tight" teacher , Have to avoid its edge. Back to the movie, the most attractive ones in the trailer are not the actor Liao Fan and the national husband Peng Yuyan, but the graceful Xu Qing.
Regarding the aesthetic aspect, Jiang Wen's thinking has always been clear, mature + passionate.
In "The Sun Also Rises", Chen Chong is always wet and sulky.
In "Let the Bullets Fly", Carina Lau is pungent and energetic. Every role is so vivid. There is always a sense of voyeurism in the women watching Jiang Wen's movies, and the looming visual temptation can always make people immersive. Jiang Wen is lascivious, different from the lasciviousness of others, Jiang Wen's truthfulness is not pretentious, and does not cover up. This is another kind of truth, not trivial. Therefore, everything from Jiang Wen's perspective has extremely strong vitality and bursting hormones.
This time, "Evil does not suppress the righteousness" also satisfies the sexuality of women. Peng Yuyan and Liao Fan basically satisfied all women's fantasies about the opposite sex.
In the current version of the trailer, Peng Yuyan's Li Tianran has always been flying over the wall and jumping to make boxing moves, which is very different from the repressed and restrained Li Tianran in the original book. Jiang Wen described Li Tianran's return to Peking, where all the people and horses gathered before the Sino-Japanese fight began, as "Bruce Lee entered Casablanca." Peng Yuyan's behavior is really similar to Bruce Lee's straightforward temperament. He is a hero and an older child. In contrast, many times in the trailerJiang Wen, another male protagonist who appeared, made another rewrite of the original.
Jiang Wen's character is called Lan Qingfeng, and he is a mysterious master in the original work. When he met Li Tianran, he was a powerful national entrepreneur in Peking. Li Tianran wants revenge and cannot do without his helper. Lan Qingfeng in the book does not make many appearances, but Lan Qingfeng in the movie has obviously become the leader of the event. It was he who pointed to the map of Beiping and made suggestions. He also released the white dove as the number and officially started to work, quite a bit of the arrogance of the bandit leader Zhang Mazi in "Let the Bullets Fly". What's interesting is that Lan Qingfeng's life in the original book really resembles Zhang Mazi.
He participated in the Revolution of 1911, studied in Japan, and served as a staff member under Feng Yuxiang. The film's original novel "Xia Ying" is hailed as "Old Beijing's mourning work." Zhang Beihai even stated that in order to write "Xia Yin", he flew back to Beijing from the United States countless times to search for information. The most expensive one was as high as $1,800. Presumably, the film also continues the feelings of the novel, because Jiang Wen praised Haikou in the interview, the film will definitely restore the old Beijing style that "Liang Sicheng is crying and shouting" to protect. In the finalized trailer, a large panorama is used to show Peiping. We can follow Li Tianran, who can fly on the roof, to see the restored towers, streets, and large tracts of gray bungalows.
restores many movies in the old Beijing city. Ang Lee’s "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has spent huge sums of money on special effects technology to restore the city of Peking. But the imperial capital restored by Ang Lee is not only majestic and majestic, but also mixed with the slow tone of traditional Chinese literati. And Jiang Wen's movies can never be so gentle. Before Li Ang made "Lust Caution", someone recommended Zhang Ailing’s original novel to Jiang Wen. Jiang Wen said bluntly, "It can’t be filmed, it’s a girl’s business." So, let us look forward to this straight man of pure men. Whether the movie can reach or surpass the height of "Let the Bullets Fly" again? The result will be seen on July 13th.
