A few days ago, I talked about the Korean "One Punch Man" Ma Dong-seok, and some friends left a message in the background, asking me to talk about a recently released domestic action movie.
Although this series is a big one, the action scenes are not ambiguous at all. The punchy and crisp style reminds people of the group of stars in Hong Kong movies in the last century.
After the exploration and grinding of the first part, the second part was recently broadcast on the network platform - "Northeast Police Story 2".
Xie Miao, the leading actor in the movie, may sound unfamiliar, but I guarantee that after seeing this still photo, you will suddenly realize that you have seen his action movies a long time ago:
That’s right, in " In "Children's Veyron" (also known as "Letter to Dad"), the "big boy" who was thrown around by Jet Li as a weapon to beat the villain was Xie Miao when he was a child star.
In the movie, Consolidation played by Xie Miao is not only skilled, but also has justice in his heart. He dared to confront the villain head-on at a young age. His childlike skills and moving acting skills add a lot to this role.
Entering the "universe" of "Northeast Police Story", Xie Miao continued to interpret such characters, playing the role of "little policeman who can only catch thieves" Li Hongqi.
The first part of the story takes place in the fictional city of Songbei in the northeast region.
A criminal organization suddenly appeared in the local area, led by the three brothers of the Xiao family. They set up online casinos, threatened and intimidated local entrepreneurs to act as online casino agents, lured local people to participate in gambling, and made huge profits from it.
Li Hongqi's girlfriend Taozi's hometown is in Songbei. When the two went back to meet their parents, Li Hongqi discovered that his future father-in-law had been involved in the scam of the three Xiao brothers, so he decided to cooperate with the local police to investigate.
As a people's policeman, Li Hongqi is a rare "manic player" in the team.
He has a clear distinction between black and white, and hates evil as much as hatred. Whenever and wherever he sees a criminal act, he will stand up and strictly enforce the law. When encountering arrogant gangsters, he is even stronger than the gangsters.
At the same time, he is also a front-line police officer with amazing execution ability.
There are two wonderful hand-to-hand fight scenes in the first part, one is in the office of the hospital, and the other is in the long-distance bus. Both are relatively narrow enclosed spaces. Fighting is fist. The scene setting of
abandons fancy moves, and the whole focus of the play is to create the pain from fist to flesh for the audience.
If you refer to the works of the senior stars, Xie Miao's "Northeast Police Story" does not have complicated props like "Jackie Chan's Happy House", nor does it integrate traditional martial arts into it like Jet Li. Some works are closer.
It's a pity, because the story setting of the first part is too similar to "Fuse" starring Donnie Yen. It is also a violent protagonist fighting against the three villain brothers. As a result, the score of this movie is not high, and many passers-by viewers Also because of this rating, I missed the wonderful play.
"Northeast Police Story 2", which was launched recently, has absorbed this experience, moved the timeline forward, and told about Li Hongqi's experience when he was single.
At that time, he had just completed his undercover mission, and he participated in a blind date with the help of his relatives and friends. He did not expect to meet Fan Toer.
In fact, Li Hongqi has been soloing for more than 30 years relying on her strength, and has never understood the love between children.
He also doesn't know the ways of the world. The brothers and sisters in the orphanage are all successful in their respective fields, but he is still an ordinary "little policeman". He was entrusted by others to solve work problems for his children, but he frankly refused to go through the back door.
But when it comes to punishing evil and promoting good, no one is better at it.Not long after
returned to the team, he keenly discovered all kinds of illegal activities in the local area.
During a blind date, Li Hongqi found that the girl she met had pinhole marks on her arm, and was pestered and beaten by a gangster when she went out, and was then forced to take her to a nightclub.
Coincidentally, the current manager of the nightclub is "Shiba" from his orphanage. A strong boss makes subordinates.
Ma Qiang also has a right-hand man named "Zhensanjiang" who runs a performing arts center.
Not long ago, a husband and wife employee there committed suicide bizarrely, and the husband happened to be an addict who had been rehabilitated by Li Hongqi. Some people reported that the couple had met Ma Qiang before the accident.
Li Hongqi realized that this might be a criminal gang headed by Ma Qiang, so he used the orphanage's "18th" as a breakthrough point to investigate. In the process of
, in order to make the "Eighteen" abandon the dark and turn to the bright, Li Hongqi used all his housekeeping skills and started a "public toilet war" with Fa Xiao.
This fighting scene continues the style of the previous one. It is a hand-to-hand fight in a closed space.
Soon, the police got an important clue. It turned out that Ma Qiang's business involved pornography and drugs, forming a complete pornography industry chain.
They used drugs to control the girls and forced them to prostitute. Girls with poor performance were sent to "Zhensanjiang" to do pornographic live broadcasts, and the platform servers were set up overseas to evade all criminal evidence.
Li Hongqi and his colleagues took advantage of the "Zhensanjiang" live broadcast and rescued the controlled prostitutes.
It's a pity that "Zhensanjiang" alone covered up all the crimes, and the police still have no conclusive evidence to arrest drug-related Ma Qiang.
In order to prevent Ma Qiang from escaping, the police began to use the media to release news, announcing in a high-profile manner that Ma Qiang's gang was about to collapse, and called on citizens to actively report.
Now, the actors who used to work in the "Zhensanjiang" performing arts center no longer fear the control of Ma Qiang's gang, and handed over the candid video of Ma Qiang raping female employees to the police.
The climax of the video is that while waiting for the support of his colleagues, Li Hongqi took the lead in finding Ma Qiang and started a fierce fight with him.
In the movie, Ma Qiang is set to be a bodyguard when he was young, and after becoming a boss, he recruits soldiers and buys horses to do sparring training everywhere, and his combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the male protagonist.
This fight scene is set in Ma Qiang's private gym. The hardness of the fitness equipment is used to set off the softness of the body, creating a realistic pain visually.
When the two sides fought, Li Hongqi was beaten to the ground several times by Ma Qiang, and then stood up again with a lot of stubbornness.
This deja vu plot makes people realize-isn't this the "Children Veyron" back then? In the climax of Jet Li, the opponent is Yu Rongguang, the villain whose combat power is comparable to his own.
When Ma Qiang beat Li Hongqi to the ground, the dialogue also paid tribute to "Children Veyron":
The ending was as expected, Li Hongqi subdued Ma Qiang with force, and finally disintegrated the villain criminal gangs.
Compared with the previous one, the action drama of this one has been further upgraded, and the look and feel of the fist-to-flesh has surpassed the level of the Internet University, and is even no less than some theater blockbusters.
The most surprising thing is that the film also shows the fighting scene in the car where the policewoman confronts the gangsters. Although the scene space is cramped, the action design is not monotonous at all.
The end credits also follow the tradition of the previous one, showing the highlights of the action scene shooting. As an audience, this level of respect (inner) industry (volume) is really unforgettable.
At the same time, the stories in the second part are more closely related to current events.
In the film, Ma Qiang's gang is aggressive, which seems to be a dramatic expression, but in fact, this kind of exploitation of women in life has formed a criminal industrial chain.
It seems that it is a personal illegal act to catch a cheater in the subway and take secret photos of the party, but behind him there is likely to be an illegal profit-making platform active.
What's more, such sneak shots, stalking, and obscenity are not limited to women, but also children.
From this point of view, Li Hongqi, who "can only catch thieves", just caters to the general public.
In life, we need a group of upright and powerful "little policemen" like Li Hongqi. On the screen, we also need dedicated actors like Xie Miao to create more exciting action movies.
Such domestic movies, please continue to shoot, the whole third part is worth it, and the trilogy of "Li Hongqi Violently Fights Pornography, Gambling and Drugs" must be completed!
