The major Hong Kong movies will be launched successively this summer. From "Sweeping Drugs 2 World Showdown", which was released on July 5th, to "Apostle Walker 2: Operation Bourne," which was released on August 9th, both received good box office revenue.
The movie "Apostle Walker 2: Operation Bourne" was supervised by Wen Weihong, the original director of the 2014 TV series "Apostle Walker". In 2014, TVB produced the fashion police and gangster TV series "Apostle Walker" that was popular all over the country and became a classic with many people's deep memories. However, the results of the two film adaptations of the play were not satisfactory. The audience is also very much looking forward to the production by the original director.
"Apostle Walker 2: Operation Bourgogne" reunites the two actor-Zhang Jiahui and Louis Koo. The two reinterpreted their deep brotherhood and entangled love and hatred. The film reproduces the classic Hong Kong movie spy war between police and robbers. Brothers who were separated in childhood meet again by chance but are opponents of different camps. They participate in the investigation of the incident and reveal the bigger conspiracy after the opening. The truth is revealed.
Zhang Jiahui, Koo Tianle, and Wu Zhenyu Sanxiong join forces, on the one hand, they are helpless in different camps, on the other hand they are brotherly, and on the other hand, they are secret organizations hiding in the dark and plotting conspiracies. The three people in the film are connected and estranged from each other, full of contradictions and entanglements. The three movie kings are also online at the same time as their acting skills and appearance, which makes many Hong Kong movie fans very addicted.
In addition to a few old drama bones supporting the film's emotional line, the performance of the new generation of actors has also attracted the attention of many netizens, but the evaluation goes to both ends. The brave and capable female reporter in the film
, Yao Keyi's actor Jiang Peiyao, participated in her first film in 2015 and officially entered the show business circle for only about 4 years. However, she recently played Sun Yaya in the hit TV series "Dear, Loved", who is so cute and adorable, and she has gained a lot of fans.
And Yao Keyi in "Apostle Walker 2: Operation Bourne" is a calm, steady and socially responsible reporter. Because of the clues of the crime, Yao Keyi became the target of criminals and police protection, and became an important person in contact with all parties throughout the film.
changed from a soft girl to a hardcore female reporter, Jiang Peiyao is still on the line with both appearance and acting skills. Playing against the three celebrities can still show her own characteristics, and netizens also commented on her performance very well.
is also a rookie actor and Zhang Yichi who plays the killer Demon. Compared with Jiang Peiyao, Zhang Yichi participated in film and television works earlier. In 2019, he performed well in "Cracking Orange in Huainan" and "Wandering Earth". This time, Demon, the killer who played in "Apostle Walker 2: Operation Espionage", always hides in the dark to hunt down, and every time he appears on the scene, he smiles like a conspiracy clown.
may be that the character's personality is too prominent, and Zhang Yichi's performance in the movie aroused intense discussion among netizens. Netizens who only focus on the plot and content of the movie think that Zhang Yichi's evil smile from beginning to end is too abrupt and even a little disgusting, causing psychological discomfort to viewers.
Some netizens also think that Zhang Yichi can play the dark and evil Demon in "Apostle Walker 2," the kind and outgoing Zhang Mingrui, and the talented programmer Li Yiyi, which can be called "drama throwing away".
In addition to the actors' acting skills, the most criticized story of "Apostle Walker 2" is still full of loopholes. From childhood partners to rivals, the brothers joined hands to uncover the shady. The Hong Kong film routine of "returning by different routes" was once hailed as a model of innovation. However, after being reproduced many times in film and television works, it has become an uninnovative mechanical handling.
Since its preparation in 2013, the intention and innovation in the production of "Apostle Walker 2" cannot be ignored. Shooting real crash scenes in Burma, Spain’s “Bull Rushing Festival and Drag Racing” double scene of melee.
"Walker 2" pays tribute to the nostalgic feelings of the old audience in the classics of Hong Kong movies and also takes into account the risk of being ridiculed. The director integrates the characteristics of Hollywood's high special effects and large frame, and pays more attention to the design of the big scenes. And restore.
However, the plot design did not satisfy the audience. The identities of Cheng Tao and Jing Jinxian were revealed too early. Netizens complained about plots that are inconsistent with the logic of daily life such as the Moss code passed on by the Rubik's Cube. "Too fake!" ", "The Wind Forest" and other crime-themed Hong Kong movies. The combination of classics and contemporary aesthetics requires more understanding and presentation of real life, as well as more detailed polishing. Text/Yi Yao
