I don’t know if it’s due to big policies. The promotion of this year’s Spring Festival movie was gentle and light, with no “targetedness”. It’s estimated that there won’t be any “big moves” less than half a month before the release, so in such a gap, It was captured by the action movie "Thugs in Suits" from a year ago.
Not only did the big online movie rush to the top of the list within two hours of its release, people also picked up the memory of "Bruce Lee II" Chen Guokun.
Although Chinese kung fu movies with hard bridges and hard horses are obviously in decline now, Chen Guokun's iconic face is still very touching.
This time he played Zhou Ke, a top agent in "Suits". During a mission, he killed the younger brother of a gang member and formed a grudge.
So the opening scene is that his brother was captured by gang members and hung in a huge slaughterhouse waiting for him to be rescued.
The fight scene at the beginning of the movie is designed to be very exciting. There are more than a dozen gangsters in the slaughterhouse, and among them there is a beautiful woman cutting pieces of meat carelessly.
She is not a little treasure, but the top killer among the members. At this time, the big brother who was hung up said with difficulty: He will come in quietly and kill all of you.
The gang boss said confidently, "We are the hunters." After the words were finished, the fight began.
The reason why I am very satisfied with "Thugs in Suits" has a lot to do with this hot start. This scene is rarely seen in theatrical Hong Kong action movies.
controls the atmosphere, gun battles, and hand-to-hand scenes between suit thugs and top female killers very well. The platform score is 9.4, which is a big affirmation.
In addition to the fighting scenes, the story is also very smooth. Before he was imprisoned, Zhou Ke's wife was killed by a mysterious man. After he was released from prison, Zhou Ke's whole purpose was revenge.
The next plot is a bit like "The Killer Isn't Too Cold" and the Korean drama "Uncle". Zhou Ke, who is full of kung fu, hides in the market and lives a clown's career. He meets a little girl named Xue Ning, and This little girl became the target of gang kidnapping because she accidentally picked up a gang USB flash drive in her bag.
In the end, it was Zhou Ke who rescued Xue Ning. In the process of rescuing her, he also discovered that the mysterious killer was someone else, related to the local congressman. In order to deal with him, Zhou Ke wanted to cooperate with the police, but was killed by the police. Backstab.
Although the whole story is mainly about fighting scenes, the core is about Zhou Ke protecting his wife and daughter. His wife died, and his daughter’s survival became the motivation for him to live. Later, after going around and around, his daughter understood this thug uncle who was pretending to be a clown. He is his biological father, which is a very surprising ending.
Although the production of "Thugs in Suits" is still a little rough due to the large network, it is still a little better than those theatrical Hong Kong movies that are piled up with best actors and actresses. It has become more popular recently, and there is a reason for it. of.
Regarding this hard-core action movie that has suddenly emerged on the Internet, many people have focused their attention on the starring Chen Guokun.
Yes, he has a great speciality as an actor, that is, his physical appearance is close to that of kung fu superstar Bruce Lee, and he also takes Bruce Lee as his idol and has been imitating him since he was young. It was also because of this that Stephen Chow saw him and signed him. He started his own company and became a formal actor.
In fact, he has been collaborating with Stephen Chow during the period when his films were most popular. For example, he participated in "Youth Football", "Kung Fu" and "God of Cookery". It is said that such a face with deep memory will be used in popular movies. appears, the audience should be impressed.
It is a pity that many supporting characters in Stephen Chow's movies have become popular, but his role in the movie is still tepid and few people mention it. This is really a very metaphysical issue.
His highlight moment was in "The Legend of Bruce Lee" in 2008. As "Bruce Lee", he became the first Hong Kong actor to play the male lead in CCTV's prime time. It also set a record for CCTV's highest TV drama ratings in the past 10 years that year. new record.
However, filming Bruce Lee's film and television works involves many business relationships and copyright issues. If Chen Guokun continues to develop in the film and television industry as "Bruce Lee II", there will be too many limitations.
And Chen Guokkun's own advantage lies in action scenes. After playing the role of Bruce Lee Legend, he consciously added value to himself and specialized in Jeet Kune Do. He also learned Wing Chun from Bruce Lee's senior brother Huang Chunliang and Wing Chun master Liang Ting. .
It is a pity that even though he has the advantage of making friends with martial arts stars and martial artists and learning martial arts experience, after all, he is far from being a competitive action star.
This time, his "Thugs in Suits" debuted in action dramas. I saw some netizens saying that Chen Guokkun may also start from the action movies of the Internet, and follow the example of Xie Miao.
Personally, I think there is a considerable gap between Chen Guokun and Xie Miao, because Xie Miao, like Jet Li, graduated from a professional martial arts school and won many first-class martial arts awards. He is an action actor with real kung fu and relies on his own special ability to carry out martial arts. The banner of kung fu movies was raised.
Although Chen Guokun is interested in martial arts, he does not study systematically. In the end, his career is still an actor. He cannot copy Xie Miao's path as a hard-core martial arts actor. He must also take into account literary and theatrical work in order to have a long and lasting career in the entertainment industry.
