"Sweeping out crime and eradicating evil", there is no shortage of such works in the film and television industry.
The early " black hole ", " black ice " and "Conquer", the recent years of "Hurricane", " anti-crime storm ", and Zhang Yimou's movie " is as solid as a rock ", etc.
In this genre, there are not many that can combine crime and action. On the contrary, the online movie "Northeast Police Story" series once broke out, which is enough to compete with South Korea's Ma Dong-seok's "Crime City" series.
Currently, "Northeast Police Story 3" has not been waited for, but another "king bomb" will be ushered in, which is " against ".
The tough-guy detective Lei Yang, played by Shi Xiaolong, is here. With his stubby hair and firm eyes, all the evil forces in Binjiang are shunned.
There is the lawless and hard-nosed boss Wei Tianlang (played by Bao Bell ) who is involved in the underworld. He still looks like he needs a beating, "The person who can handle me in Binjiang has not been born yet."
Bao Beier is praised by netizens as "the ancient Greek god in charge of those who deserve a beating" . Since he played Mr. Zhao, he seemed to have opened up his career as an actor, and he has excelled in the track of playing crazy villains.
Not long ago, he collaborated with director Qin Pengfei in ": HT", playing the role of Cheng Jie, a hypocritical entrepreneur with a human face and an animal heart.
's new film "Crackdown" is their second entry into the palace, so they naturally work together more easily.
With Bao Bell playing the villain, you basically donât have to worry about the filmâs completion rate. Who would be willing to leave early if he gets beaten up before watching?
The tough guy Shi Xiaolong + the perverted and crazy Bao Beier + Qin Pengfei are also on the track for action crime films. This combination is enough to compete with "Northeast Police Story", and people are full of expectations.
1. The plot is frantically testing on the edge of censorship, and the scale of evil is large enough to create a real "purgatory on earth".
A criminal action film is to let the evil forces show up first and let them go crazy for a while.
The more insane the evil they do in the early stage, the more they can help the righteous party to accumulate energy. It is satisfying and hearty when they release their anger in the middle and later stages of the movie.
Nowadays, crimes are presented in various ways in sweeping movies and TV dramas about gangsters and evil, but Bao Beier's performance is still far ahead.
was always worried that he had gone too far in the past and that Shi Xiaolong would not be able to beat him back in the second half.
Bao Beier's role is a cruel and arrogant boss, is involved in gangs and evil, illegal demolition, intercepting reporters, and commits all kinds of evil...
Someone questioned him face to face about what he had done in KTV, and he was beaten violently with a golf club. The other party begged for mercy but was ignored.
This was not enough. Just because he was fingered, he arranged for two people to hold the victim tightly and cut off the victim's fingers with cigar cutters. The scene was extremely bloody.
There were those who refused to obey the supervision at the construction site. The thugs stabbed their thighs with iron hooks and dragged them to death as punishment.
Those who resisted were stripped naked and fed large amounts of some kind of banned drug. Every frame was filled with torture.
In the abandoned construction site, a man was tied up like a man who had just been tortured to extract a confession.
The next second, two beauties dressed in cool clothes threw themselves into his arms. This situation of ice and fire seemed to illustrate that "those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish."
The next second, there was Bao Beierâs ferocious face smoking a cigar.
In order to achieve the purpose of demolition, he arranged for gangs to attack innocent villagers. The scene where a large number of gangsters armed with sharp weapons surrounded the people was infuriating.
The real target of the villains is the graves of ordinary people (for real estate development). Honoring ancestors has always been a Chinese tradition, and the villagers cannot let it go, so a bloody conflict with disparity in power is about to break out.
What uncovered the tip of the iceberg of Bao Beier's criminal kingdom was a case of rape and murder of a woman. The young woman was naked and thrown into the wild.
The criminalâs modus operandi was extremely arrogant and undisguised, which was tantamount to openly provoking the police.
Shi Xiaolong appears on the stage, and he is as his name suggests, the resolute thunder and the masculine Yang.
He started investigating from the KTV where the female corpse worked before she was alive. Faced with the obstruction of the dominant big man, he decisively used ground skills to attack, gaining the advantage and subduing the opponent in just one round.
Faced with such a difficult situation, Bao Beier used both hard and soft tactics, imposing obstacles while setting up a Hongmen Banquet to treat Shi Xiaolong to a meal.
The leader of the evil forces invites the criminal policeman to dinner, what good things can happen?
Iâm afraid I wonât be able to eat this meal.
Lei Yang's creed is, "As long as you break the law, I will definitely punish you."
Wei Tianlang just didnât believe it, so there was bound to be a fight between them.
2. Director Qin Pengfei is the biggest guarantee for Internet action movies.
The biggest guarantee for this criminal action movie is naturally the director Qin Pengfei.
This Wuying-level athlete from the Hebei Wushu Team did not have the good luck of Jet Li, Zhao Wenzhuo, Wu Jing and others in his early years.
After leaving the martial arts circle, he has been working at the bottom of the film and television industry, engaged in martial arts and stunt work.
He has participated in the filming of blockbusters such as "Red Cliff", "Ink Attack", " Silver Empire ", " Painted Skin ".
Lucky di met the famous action director Dong Wei, with whom he accumulated rich experience in action film shooting.
After that, he gradually moved from behind the scenes to directing work. The early "Rampage" and "Breaking God" did not cause much splash until 2021 when he teamed up with Xie Miao to film "Northeast Police Story".
html The 383-minute film length makes many action movie fans say they canât get enough.
Although it is a large-scale network framework, it polishes the action scenes into a movie-like texture, making this somewhat bleak track once again attract the attention of movie fans.
While the film was out of the entertainment industry, it also made the has-been martial arts child star Xie Miao famous.
So they struck while the iron was hot and launched "Northeast Police Story 2" in 2023. While the cast was fully upgraded, the film length was also extended to a satisfactory 90 minutes.
The toilet fight between Xie Miao and Liu Fengchao in the film was at a sub-world-class level. It can be regarded as a shortened version of Tom Cruise's melee with Yang Liang and Henry Cavill in "Mission: Impossible 6".
After all, any scene in a Tom Cruise movie is enough to make several "Northeast Police Story" movies.
Itâs not that our action actors canât perform at a high level, itâs just that the budget is limited, and good action scenes often require time to polish and money to support.
3, real kung fu from fist to flesh
Li Hongqi's good skills in the "Northeast Police" series are due to Xie Miao's own good foundation on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are inseparable from Qin Pengfei's excellent choreography.
Imagine, with just a car and two action actors who can fight, what else can be done?
Qin Pengfei is really capable. The big battle at the end of "Northeast Police Story" allowed the two actors to constantly switch between offense and defense in the small space of the minibus.
makes the offensive and defensive momentum change rapidly, and shooting is so exciting that there is almost no other person in the country who can do this.
In the past series of "Northeast Police Story", Qin Pengfei paid more attention to the "feeding moves" between action actors, that is, making every action reasonable and beautiful, but not too fancy.
He should also be a fan of Donnie Yen's action movies. In his network, the protagonists are usually good at mixed martial arts.
Especially the use of ground techniques and jujitsu, except for Kenji Tanigaki, he seems to be the best in Chinese action movies.
In the trailer of "Crackdown", we saw Shi Xiaolong skillfully using ground skills to attack.
This style has continued since "Slay the Wolf" and " fuse " to this day, and it also makes Hong Kong action movie lovers dream back to the good old days.
Shi Xiaolong has a lot of action scenes in the new film, including one-on-one or one-on-many, close combat with fists and fists, or when he faces a vicious villain with cold weapons with his bare hands.
It can only be said that Brother Xiao Long has a big stage. This time it depends on how hard he fights and whether he can return to the golden age of action movies.
As the most talented child star ever, Shi Xiaolong has brought us many beautiful memories.
"Fighting the Black" may be an important opportunity for him. If successful, is likely to be the next kung fu superstar.
Perhaps soon, he and Xie Miao will become the most awesome duo in Chinese action movies.
Summary
The action scenes in "Fighting Gangs" continue the style of director Qin Pengfei in the past. Shi Xiaolong, who is also a martial arts child star, has no doubt about his skills.
When the film is released in the future, Director Qin may gain the reputation of "a child martial arts actor who has become famous" .
The story of this film takes place in Binjiang County, and Li Hongqi is from Binzhou City in the northeast. In addition, Li Daqiang, who plays Li Hongqiâs father-in-law, also appears in this film. Does this pave the way for future collaborations in the "Police" series?
Action movies are very enjoyable. Firstly, look at the protagonist, and secondly, whether the villain deserves a beating, and Bao Beier seems to be walking in the world who "needs to be beaten". With him around, it feels good to be beaten.
The combination of Qin Pengfei, Shi Xiaolong and Bao Beier is exciting. I hope the new film will be released as soon as possible.
