The long-dormant movie market actually came alive in November!

There are all kinds of themes, and the small time period actually broke out with highlights that were not seen in prime time.

From Hong Kong movies to comedies, to suspense and life, it can satisfy the appetite of almost all audiences, and the lineup is also powerful one to one.

Here Andy Lau returns with Karen Mok , allowing the Hong Kong film market to see the light. Over there Deng Chao's comeback is simply "certain of victory".

Of course, there are Huang Xiaoming, Zu Feng , Song Jia, Wang Qianyuan, and even the "Harry Potter" series, Naruto "The Movie" and the old movie "This Killer is Not Too Cold".

Good guy, this is Want to save a whole year's movie market at once?

Judging from the works that debuted first, "Burning City" is still very popular. After all, it has a good lineup and is a disaster blockbuster full of visual effects. It can be regarded as the most interesting in its category.

I have watched this video, it is indeed worth a try.

But this time, I want to recommend another work "老gun".

Zu Feng, Qin Hailu, Although Shao Bing is of the Mesozoic generation with high national popularity, its box office appeal is very average.

They are all small-time cannon fodder, and the ticket price is also the lowest.

However, when I sat in the theater, the whole process was boring. The urination even added a fierce dimension, and the solid story was extremely shocking with its ups and downs.

This "Old Gun" really shouldn't be misfired -

After watching the movie, my first feeling was regret.

Storytelling The level is so high, and the actors' acting skills are so amazing, why can't they work harder on popular stars, publicity, and visual effects?

was released in an understatement. Even if the audience who watched it lamented Wan Qian, no one would care. The corner seems unattractive and relies entirely on quality to stand out. It would be great if it could be more eye-catching!

The story frame is very simple.

In the Northeast in the early 1990s, factories were in decline and could not pay wages. Workers had no choice but to accept the reality. Scrap iron and chemicals in the factories became the favorites of thieves.

The male customer Gu Xuebing (played by Zu Feng) is a retired shooting athlete who works as a security guard in the factory's security team. The setting of the core suspense story of

is relatively novel.

Geng Xiaojun ( Zhou Zhengjie ) is the son of single mother Xiao Jin (Qin Hailu), and Xiao Jin is the object of Gu Xuebing's admiration.

Since he was a child, he lived with his father and had no one to discipline him, so he followed a few gangsters around him.

During a certain cable theft, the leader climbed up the scaffolding and found a long cable. After cutting it off, he found that it could be sold at a good price, but at this moment the factory workers who smuggled the machine also came.

Several children instantly hid in a corner, but the factory director did not know that there was someone in the factory. When the switch was turned on, the leader of the gang was electrocuted, and then fell straight to the ground.

Seeing that the child was dying, the security guard who followed the director immediately wanted to call the police, but was stopped by the director.

In a factory, two groups of people bumped into each other one night and another life was lost. The children's thieving behavior became insignificant.

Therefore, the fates of Geng Xiaojun who was forced to press fingerprints, Gu Xuebing who learned the truth but was unable to change, Xiao Jin who chose the big boss, and the rebellious security guard were all tightly tied together.

To be honest, after "Latent" and " All Quiet in Peking", I almost never felt the unique charm of Zu Feng in a film or television drama again.

includes " Crossing the Angry Sea ". Due to the limitations of the character design, I personally feel that Zu Feng has not fully released his abilities.

However, after watching "Old Gun", I really fell in love with Zu Feng.

broke out in peace. The male protagonist of this movie was completely tailor-made for Zu Feng.

Gu Xuebing is a shooting athlete, which requires an extremely strong mind and calm control. At the same time, he has to perform the psychological shadow of missing the competition due to injury.

These can be completely seen in Zu Feng.

He is absolutely relaxed when acting, and at the same time, there is a layer of haze.

is obviously an infinitely down-to-earth performance style, but it makes people feel mysterious. Every breaking point seems to be helpless, and it pours out from the accumulation of emotions layer by layer.

can easily grab the audience's attention. Only viewers who have watched it can experience it firsthand.

It is worth mentioning that the second male lead Zhou Zhengjie also performed well.

He is Rambo in " Bianshui Past Time ". He is youthful and lively but also has the ruthlessness given by the environment where he grew up. His bright eyes are still fresh in your memory.

This time, Zhou Zhengjie plays Qin Hailu’s son, and has a lot of scenes opposite Zu Feng.

To be honest, playing against a reserved and calm Mesozoic like Zu Feng is not very friendly to young actors, but I really didn’t expect Zhou Zhengjie to portray various emotions so well.

After being caught committing petty theft, he disguises himself as an innocent boy who is forced to watch the wind.

There is no sense of inconsistency in the subconscious expressions and small movements, especially in answering Liu Zufeng's questions and secretly glancing at the watch on the table. These small and casual details provide great help in shaping the characters.

Especially in the last scene, Geng Xiaojun holds Gu Xuebing and looks at the man who committed suicide in front of him.

At first, he took Gu Xuebing's hand off out of curiosity. When he opened his eyes and saw all this, his emotions surged. Is the evil man in front of him really evil?

In front of me was a corpse with blood gushing out, and underneath him was a dying man. He turned his head away, helpless and desperate. This shot also made me suffocate for a time.

Of course, in addition to Zu Feng and Zhou Zhengjie, Qin Hailu and Lei Jun also performed quite well.

Lei Jun only appeared in a friendly role and did not have many roles, but the first word that came out of the scene was able to portray the rich and wealthy local boss in a profound way.

Qin Hailu's scenes are not many, but the entanglement and tug between her and Zu Feng fully demonstrates her solid acting skills.

is completely the highlight of the entire movie.

Conclusion

In fact, seeing the lineup of "Old Gun" has already predicted that it will not be able to take the top spot at the box office, and there are only a few films scheduled.

However, good movies really shouldn’t be buried.

Although it is positioned as a suspense crime, there is not even a single point that deliberately promotes the plot for two hours. The core case is presented in almost an hour, but the audience really does not feel dragged out.

The characters in the story have fierce personalities, but also have the warmth and generosity of Northeastern people. In the era of economic depression, they have their own choices.

The plot develops smoothly and is enjoyable to watch. A touch of bitterness and sadness are the tone of the whole movie, and there are many laughs in it.

This is the standard a theater movie should have. If given the chance, I hope more viewers can see it.
