Ethan Ruan's crime film "The Three Evils", a crime film that uses violence to fight violence, was released in the mainland on March 1 and has already exceeded 200 million at the box office. With this film, he was nominated for Best Actor at this year's Golden Horse Awards. The film's reputation has been rising since it was screened, and "The New Creation" has brainwashed the entire Internet. The movie
was released in the Mainland, and many netizens' emotions bounced back and forth between "I can actually watch it in the theater" and "There's actually nothing I can't watch." Although the film was urgently changed before its release. But the biggest difference is that the final massacre scene was edited out, as well as the flag on the ship.
The whole story is certainly impactful, but I feel that Ethan Ruan has given people more surprises this time. It can be clearly found that his past image of the male protagonist of idol dramas has completely faded.
[1] Ethan Ethan’s crazy acting skills
In the movie, Ethan Ethan plays the wanted criminal Chen Guilin. In the opening scene, he appears with a short haircut and a suit. At first glance, he gives the impression that he is a ruthless tough guy.
During a gang funeral, he not only killed another gang boss, Brother Tietou, but also blinded policeman Chen Hui's right eye, and finally escaped the police's pursuit.
After Chen Guilin escaped capture, he lived incognito for four years. It was not until his grandmother passed away that he decided to do something big. The twist of God's will is that when Chen Guilin was told that he had terminal cancer, he made up his mind to go to the police station and surrender with dignity. It turned out that he was on the wanted list, but only ranked third, and he was not even qualified to surrender.
The most valuable story about Zhou Chu getting rid of the three evils is Zhou Chu, because everyone remembers Zhou Chu, but no one will remember who the two people were killed by Zhou Chu.
The ambitious Chen Guilin is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that no one will remember him even if he dies. At this time, he wants to get rid of the top two and become a contemporary minister, so that everyone knows who Chen Guilin is and can see him. value.
When Chen Guilin wanted to kill the other two wanted criminals, the good and evil in him had been blurred, both good and evil.
He first found Aberdeen, which was second on the list. Aberdeen had a fight with the Xinyi Police during "Operation Fox Hunt" and used up all the ammunition in the police station. Even though he was shot many times, he escaped and survived in the end. But now Aberdeen not only continues to sell drugs and kill people, but also always It was the rape of "stepdaughter" Xiaomei. There were many crimes, so he deserved to be killed, and Chen Guilin was not merciful when he started his attack.
But the most exciting thing was that he found Lin Luhe who was number one on the list. Lin Luhe, who committed more than 50 shooting cases and killed six policemen, has long been cleared and has become a venerable person in the "New Soul Residence".
He uses the excuse "You are vomiting black water in your stomach and there is something unclean in your body" every day to defraud believers of their money and tell them that the root of their troubles is greed, anger and ignorance.
The Chen Guilin we saw before was a man who could not live without being crazy. But when Chen Guilin thought he had really been redeemed, he revealed his innocence.
Later children vomited black water like him, and everyone was accustomed to it and indifferent. Only he worriedly asked repeatedly, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Chen Guilin was not afraid of death or being caught. He was wanted before and had been living cautiously, largely because he didn't want his grandma to see the news.
If you are also a misanthrope, you will probably like the last scene of massacre. Chen Guilin later learned that everything was a scam and that the Venerable was Lin Luhe. At this time, he had returned to the mentality of going to die in the first place.
Before Chen Guilin surrendered, he asked Emperor Guan Sheng for instructions and gave him nine Holy Grails that day. Even if Chen Guilin gave Lin Luhe the same nine chances, Lin Luhe was still destined to die for playing with the common people.
And those who have been completely brainwashed in the cult will not wake up because of Lin Luhe's death. Even in front of the gunpoint, the believers did not retreat at all and remained stubborn, singing along with "New Creation" with a smile. If he doesn't kill him, he will only continue to harm the world and become the next "Lin Luhe".
The reason why Chen Guilin was initially willing to surrender was because he was lied to by doctors that he had cancer. But at the end of the movie, it kills three birds with one stone. The doctor has accumulated good moral character; Chen Guilin is well known in the society; and the society has lost three criminals since then.
[2] From idol star to tough guy actor
Many people cannot see that Ethan Ethan is 41 years old this year. Many people's impression of him is still the domineering president Ji Cunxi in the 2008 movie "Destined to Love You".
From a model to the hero of an idol drama, and then to the Golden Horse Best Actor, after nearly ten years of silence, he is now the beloved "Chen Guilin". Ethan Ruan's career as an actor has not been smooth.
When Ethan Ruan was 17 years old, he accompanied a friend to interview a model, but was accidentally selected to shoot the MV for Penny Dai's "Loved". In order to make money, he signed a contract with an agency and debuted as a model. He was even called the "Three Musketeers of Kaiwo" together with Zheng Yuanchang and He Junxiang.
After entering the industry, Ethan Ruan also filmed several idol dramas. For example, Ghost, a talented dancer with a surly personality and a twists and turns in "The Dance of Michael"; he played the second male lead Jin Yuanfang in "The Green Forest", etc., but he has never been very popular, but because he looks exactly like Ming Dao , has always been said to be Ming Dao's substitute.
Ethan Ruan also thought about whether he was not suitable for idol dramas. When filming "Green Forest", he was scolded by the director whether his previous relationships were all fake.
Until 2008's "Destined to Love You", Ethan Ruan was the first male protagonist in seven years since his debut. He played the kind-hearted but naive Ji Cunxi. This film and television drama set a record-breaking ratings that year and became popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. . That year, Ethan Ruan was named Taiwan's "King of Idol Dramas" by the audience.
In 2009, in the idol drama "The Lost Dog Queen" starring Yang Jinhua, Ethan Ruan became the bohemian working man Lucas, ranking first in the ratings for 21 consecutive weeks.
The luckiest thing about Ethan Ruan's acting career was probably meeting the producer Niu Chengze, but the producer was sentenced to 4 years in prison for sexual assault in 2020.
In 2009, the filming of "Monga" directed by Niu Chengze and produced by Li Lie began. Ethan Ethan played the role of a gangster in Monga, Taipei in the late 1980s. This role made Ethan Ethan begin to transform from the idol drama hero in the past to a hormone-filled tough guy. .
In 2010, Ethan Ruan was 28 years old. With his role as the responsible "monk" in "Monga", he won the Best Actor at the 47th Golden Horse Awards and became the youngest Golden Horse Best Actor in history.
Peter Chan said that Ethan Ruan "a superstar is about to be born"; John Woo said that Ethan Ruan "reminiscent of Chow Yun-fat in his youth". For a time, Ethan Ruan was in the limelight and received a lot of praise.
Some people are optimistic about Ethan Ruan, while others want to see Ethan Ruan's jokes. After winning the Golden Horse Award, Ethan Ethan made two more films, one of which was "Love" directed by Niu Chengze. As a result, his reputation collapsed and was filled with negative reviews. At the same time, he was also involved in the scandal of delaying his military service. Ethan Ethan began to doubt himself. .
In 2013, Ethan Ruan was absent from the 50th Golden Horse Awards’ group photo of all the best actors because he left early. Netizens scolded him for being a big star and disrespecting the Golden Horse Awards and other senior actors. Director Li Lie also had no contact with him for 10 years. , even if they meet in person, they will not say hello.
At that time, Ethan Ruan's agent explained that he was absent because he was unable to physically handle the filming of "Army Paradise" and had to rush back to Kinmen for filming the next day. ,
Ethan Ruan also admitted that this was a mistake he could never make up for. After everyone watched the movie "The Three Evils", they realized that last year's Golden Horse Awards ceremony was a joke.
After retiring at that time, Ethan Ruan fell into confusion. After all, in the entertainment industry, it is common for the waves behind to push the waves ahead. As for the 30-year-old Ethan Juan, he didn't know what else he could do, so he kept trying and oppressing himself with high intensity.
's subsequent works include "Rogue Detective", "Psychological Crime: City Lights", "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: Huangpizi Grave", "Fuyao", etc., but these works are not as stunning as "Monga".
A director told him that he should not be anxious about acting, because before the age of 30, he is destined to only play some beautiful roles. After the age of 40, male actors may be able to slowly support a movie. Ethan Ruan learned to face all the self-doubts more comfortably only after he was 40 years old.
Although many netizens like the character in "Destined to Love You", he doesn't like him that much because he is not that kind of person. "I am not the person who smiles so happily all the time. I am not that person." He said that Xiaotian is very cheerful, but I am not like that, so I am very repelled."
Ethan Ruan, who is over 40 years old, became popular again and was nominated for the Golden Horse Award again. In addition to the blessing of luck, he also has the accumulation of his strength. He has always been a person who has a hard time playing roles. Every time the filming ends, it feels like he is saying goodbye to an old friend he has known for a long time.
When Ethan Ruan read the script of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", he tried very hard to find out who Chen Guilin was, so playing the role of Chen Guilin almost drove him crazy, and the pressure was too much. I had an emotional breakdown during the filming process.
Ethan Juan summed up the work "Eliminating Three Evils in Zhou Chu" as a period of memories and a certain period before he entered his 40s. This period was indeed well drawn, subverting netizens' impression of him, " It forces me to face the loneliness and weakness I once had, and forces me to face the unbearability I once had."
When Ethan Ruan ran away arrogantly and appeared in a face that was both innocent and cunning, I would feel and be more sure A famous saying is that acting is the best medical beauty for male stars.
