This year’s summer season is coming to an end. Perhaps the most disappointing thing in the mainland film market is Chinese-language action films.
As the pearl of Chinese-language films, it gave birth to Bruce Lee , Jackie Chan , Jet Li , Donnie Yen and other international superstars. But now it is also facing the dilemma of being out of business. Hong Kong films spent 250 million to create " Customs Front ". I think We must strongly praise Nicholas Tse as the successor of action movies.
Unfortunately, the final box office of the movie was only a little over 100 million.
Jackie Chan can only do it by himself.
As a result, " legend ", which cost 350 million to produce, only had a box office of 80 million, which is worse than the performance of "Customs Front". However, in my opinion, the audience is still interested in action movies, but I am afraid they have to pin their hopes on Those mainland actors who insist on making action movies even if they go to the Internet University.
Shi Xiaolong 's " fights against " is a proof.
I didn’t expect that the summer vacation is coming to an end, and the 36-year-old Shi Xiaolong will perform like a king in this way!
html At 10 o'clock on August 22, "Fighting Gangs" starring Shi Xiaolong will premiere online.As of 12 o'clock, in just 2 hours, the movie has reached the top of the new film lists on all major platforms and won the popularity championship on the entire network! It is normal for a new film to win the first place, but it is quite rare to win the first place at such a speed.
Obviously, "Crackdown" is a huge hit on the Internet, but after watching it, I changed my mind.
"Crackdown" is of top-notch quality even among this year's summer releases including theatrical blockbusters, with its large scale and fierce action sequences! It would make summer action blockbusters such as "Customs Front" and "Legend" blush.
Although "Cracking Down on Gangsters" is a method of Internet drama that big stars disdain, Shi Xiaolong definitely performed like a king.
also announced that he has officially succeeded Xie Miao as the top action movie star on the Internet, which can be seen from the team behind "Crackdown". The
movie is directed by Qin Pengfei, the same production team of Xie Miao's "Northeast Police Story". Qin Pengfei is also Xie Miao's old partner. In addition to "Northeast Police Story", he also participated in the production of the " defiant " series. This time "Crackdown on Crime" " and "Northeast Police Story" share a world view. In fact, it is a spin-off of "Northeast Police Story".
What’s interesting is that Shi Xiaolong’s next film “Knife Catcher” is a spin-off of “Defiant”.
It’s obvious that after Xie Miao made a breakthrough and entered the online market, Shi Xiaolong is the successor!
Therefore, the configuration of "Anti-Black" is full.
The villain is played by Bao Beier . This actor is not popular with the audience, but his villain role is a classic. This time he plays Wei Tianlang, the leader of the evil forces. He can be called the Chinese version of the clown. He is so crazy and evil that people can’t help but think about it. Rush into the screen and beat someone up.
The number one thug under the villain is played by Liu Fengchao.
Liu Fengchao is Xie Miao's favorite opponent. He has won the Hebei Province Spear and Swordsmanship Competition for five consecutive years and is a national master-level athlete! This time "Beat the Black" is so good, the peak showdown between Liu Fengchao and Shi Xiaolong is the key!
costs only 10 million! The 97-minute action scene in "The Gangster" is full of punches. The 36-year-old Shi Xiaolong is about to become popular!
"Crackdown" is actually not very creative at the story level.
The whole story is actually similar to that of "Northeast Police Story 2". They are both a confrontation between an extremely bad villain and a heroic and righteous policeman. Of course, the production cost of "Crackdown" is only 10 million, which is less than a fraction of many summer blockbusters. There is really no cost spent on polishing the plot.
The plot is very simple.
In Binjiang County in 2017, Wei Tianlang, played by Bao Beier, is the richest man and secretly the largest evil leader.
This time Bao Beier really played a bad guy to the extreme.
starts with his subordinates demolishing the film, beating and humiliating it is nothing! The reason why people don't want to leave is because their mother's graveyard is there. These little guys actually dig up the grave, which makes people's blood pressure soar.
Then Wei Tianlang established his image as soon as he appeared on the stage.
His opponent was dissatisfied that Wei Tianlang robbed his KTV and cursed him. Wei Tianlang was so crazy that he cut off his fingers!
Not to mention that the police were so busy investigating the case that Wei Tianlang forcibly insulted a girl on the other side of the double-sided mirror. The light was in front, but no one heard the girl shouting. This feeling of suffocation was really felt by the audience. felt.
went to the back to wash his face with beer, strangled the heroine to death, and even dared to kidnap the father of the hero, and also engaged in seduction and frame-up, and even included a plot of patricide. A pure bad guy like
is shot with such a straightforward picture, which is probably rare in domestic films, and the scale has reached R-level!
Wei Tianlang covered the sky with one hand in Binjiang County, and the victim reported it online.
Therefore, the superior department sent Lei Yang, the captain of the municipal criminal police detachment, played by Shi Xiaolong, to investigate.
Lei Yang can be regarded as a transformational character in Shi Xiaolong's movies. Before, Shi Xiaolong was basically a cute and handsome character. Even when he became an adult, he still liked to take this route. This actually limited Shi Xiaolong's development. In "Beat the Black", he even acted with a shaved head and a shaved beard. The young policeman’s mentor left an impression on the audience as a tough guy!
Shi Xiaolong is an action actor.
has contributed a lot of famous action scenes in the film. It can be said that the 97-minute film is from beginning to end, and it is really full of punches. This kind of power and fierceness are completely impossible for many young actors.
The most exciting one is undoubtedly the elevator battle.
Wei Tianlang filmed a male and female evil spirit chasing the male protagonist, and the two sides fought bloody battle in the elevator.
The male killer holds a short stick with a sharp blade inside, and the female killer carries a dagger with deadly moves. In a small space, the male protagonist can only rely on a pair of fists to fight against the enemy. The whole scene lasts 10 minutes, and it is almost a shot to the end. !
After reading this, I just want to say that China also has its own elevator god of war!
However, the final battle at the end of the film is a bit inferior. After all, Bao Beier is not a professional action actor, and the scene was obviously edited with a stuntman for a long time.
But its flaws do not hide its merits. "Breaking Out" is definitely the most worth-watching action movie this year. I believe that with this movie, 36-year-old Shi Xiaolong can also embark on the path of Xie Miao becoming famous! The future of Chinese-language action films depends on them.
