The script is adapted from
As a legend in the Hong Kong circle, director Qiu Litao has been in the film industry for 36 years and has directed more than 80 classic Hong Kong films. Movie king-level figures such as Wu Zhenyu, Louis Koo, Liu Qingyun, Andy Lau, etc. are all in Qiu Litao's movies. Regular customer.
Especially last year, Qiu Litao presented 4 Hong Kong films to the audience in one breath - " Anti-Drug 3: People at the End of the World ", " Assassination Storm ", " Jedi Chase " and "93 International Train Robbery: Moscow" "Operation ", Liu Qingwan, Louis Koo, Andy Lau, Ng Chun-yu, Aaron Kwok, and others once again joined hands with director Qiu Litao to stabilize the position of Hong Kong films in the film market.
This year, director Qiu Litao personally directed the movie "The Negotiator" and hired double actor Liu Qingyun and Ng Chun-yu to take charge of it. It can be said that he has the secret code for Hong Kong movies to break out of the industry.
However, unlike the previous Hong Kong films directed by Qiu Litao, "The Negotiator" is not an original work by Qiu Litao, but adapted from Oscar-nominated Best Supporting Actor Samuel L. Jackson and Oscar-winner Kevin Smith. Pesci co-starred in the American film "Ace vs. Ace".
The story in the original movie was adapted from a real case handled by the St. Louis Police Department in the United States. The two male protagonists are also negotiation experts, so they were adapted into a Hong Kong film. Director Qiu Litao also retained the essence and essence of the story to the greatest extent. main line.
However, in order to highlight the differences between Hong Kong films and American films, director Qiu Litao adopted a more humane plot approach at the beginning.
The mental patient Chen Dalai, guest-starred by Andy Lau, showed the helplessness and sadness of the disadvantaged groups in this society.
Because both Chen Dalai and his wife suffered from mental illness, the community took away their daughter privately, regardless of the couple's wishes, and hid their daughter somewhere where Chen Dalai could not find it.
But even mentally ill people are not allowed to be deprived of their rights to be fathers and mothers without reason, so they try their best to fight with community workers, hoping that their daughters can be returned to them.
But the community ignored their request at all. Finally, Chen Dalai, who had no way to seek help, could only take an extreme approach. He went to the community with a knife and held community staff hostage to reveal his daughter's whereabouts to the community.
The negotiations triggered by the kidnapping officially kicked off, and the two male protagonists Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu also officially met the audience as negotiation experts.
In the end, the hostages who were held hostage were successfully rescued, but the criminal Chen Dalai and his wife who caused the kidnapping case, determined to die, set off a spontaneous combustion in the community. The outcome of the
case nakedly exposed the difficulty and passivity of vulnerable groups in surviving in society. It also paved the way for negotiator Wu Zhenyu to leave the police station.
The Best Actor Makes a Move
Perhaps many viewers are willing to go to the cinema to enjoy this movie because of their expectations and support for the double best actor lineup.
Liu Qingwan and Ng Chun-yu have come all the way from the glorious era of Hong Kong films. Their fame, reputation, and acting skills are beyond the reach of ordinary actors. For them to play the role of "Negotiation Expert" is definitely better than them.
Negotiation expert requires eloquence, IQ, and force values to be online at the same time. War of words is the second step. The key is to rely on sharp thinking and insight beyond ordinary people to explore the other party's weaknesses and demands, so as to achieve the purpose of negotiation.
For this reason, during the negotiation process, Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu not only have to accurately grasp the professionalism and professional abilities of the negotiators, but also carefully design every psychological activity of the characters, striving to accurately convey the characters’ inner entanglements, struggles and other complex emotions. The ground is spread out in front of the audience.
Although they are both negotiation experts, Zhuo Wenwei, played by Liu Qingyun, and Xie Jiajun, played by Wu Zhenyu, have completely different personalities and methods of doing things.
As a senior inspector and negotiation expert, Zhuo Wenwei always wears a suit and leather shoes every time he appears. This kind of dress can better reflect his professionalism and rigor as a negotiation expert.
At the same time, Zhuo Wenwei is also a person who is good at turning passivity into initiative. No matter how dangerous the negotiation scene is, he can easily grasp the psychological changes of criminals with just a few words, and put criminals into a situation where they have to compromise.
So when his friend who was also a police officer was killed and was framed and forced to become the number one suspect, he would put aside his anxiety and use rational thinking to analyze and judge, and proposed to let Xie Jiajun, who had already left the police station, , returning to his role as a negotiation expert.
Compared with Zhuo Wenwei's rationality and sobriety, Xie Jiajun's character is more humane. Although he has seen countless big scenes, Xie Jiajun still felt powerless because of the spontaneous combustion of the mental patient Chen Dalai, which made him determined to quit his job as a negotiator and turned to become a social worker
. Therefore, Xie Jiajun's appearance is not like Zhuo Wenwei is so formal, but Xie Jiajun, who often shows up in casual clothes, can actually give people a more down-to-earth feeling.
Xie Jiajun, who was personally named by Zhuo Wenwei to participate in the negotiation, took on this difficult task under tremendous pressure without knowing the whole story.
With the in-depth negotiation with the number one suspect Zhuo Wenwei, Xie Jiajun gradually revealed the truth of the matter and gradually understood Zhuo Wenwei's situation.
In the end, with the help of Xie Jiajun, Zhuo Wenwei not only cleared his charges, but also exposed the unknown shady activities and corruption hidden within the police station.
The best actor is the best actor. After 19 years of working together again, Liu Qingyun and Ng Zhenyu can still easily replicate the tacit understanding and strength of the year, perform wonderful reversals, thrilling negotiations and extremely pulling psychological warfare, and live up to the "negotiation experts" name.
hopes that there will be more opportunities in the future to see the powerful showdown between movie kings.
