The story takes place in China in the 1940s The character Rong Jinzhen played by Liu Haoran is a gifted mathematical genius who was appreciated by American mathematics professor Sheyes during college. The two jointly studied decryption and encryption. A major breakthrough was made, and then with the launch of a mysterious mission, Rong Jinzhen (played by Liu Haoran) joined a top-secret unit.
This unit mainly requires people to use fast speed and accurate data to decrypt and decipher the enemy's communication codes, but what is unexpected is that his opponent is his master and his good friend Xiez. This movie is not only a simple spy decryption combat film, but also a serious torture of human nature. In one sentence, it can be summarized as "Genius is on the left, madman is on the right."
01 Liu Haoran
Liu Haoran plays the protagonist Rong Jinzhen in the movie. The whole play focuses on deciphering the enemy's communication codes. The unpredictable plot development uses a combination of reality and dreams to intersperse the narrative in the movie, allowing the audience to more immerse themselves in the Chinese espionage world of that era, and that kind of depression. , confusion, and hesitation are handled vividly by Liu Haoran.
Liu Haoran has created an image that is most unlike "Liu Haoran" in this film. In the past, the image of the innocent neighbor brother appeared, such as Qin Feng in "Tang Detective Series". The image of a calm and analytical genius spans the three age spans of teenagers, youth, and adults in the play, which further reflects the actor's acting skills. It is obvious that Liu Haoran conquered the audience with his strength.
02 Daniel Wu
At the same time, this is also the first movie made by Daniel Wu in the mainland. Daniel Wu's performance in the play is remarkable. During the Wenchuan earthquake in 2016, when the country needed help the most, he went to the disaster area to participate in the reconstruction work without hesitation. At the same time, he told reporters that the sense of accomplishment in charity work was greater than that in making movies. It was precisely because of Daniel Wu's life that he was cast in this film. The role of Xiao Lili is even more popular.
03 Chen Daoming
Chen Daoming plays Zheng in the movie. Zheng is a middle-aged man who is capable of literature and martial arts. He is knowledgeable and plays an important role in the movie. The driving role of the plot is to guide Rong Jinzhen in his career and to be a spiritual mentor, guiding him in the direction and adhering to his beliefs. At the same time, he must also express the maturity of the character. He has enough experience to express it in a story. Chen Daoming's vivid performance is vivid. In the play, Chen Daoming vividly expresses Zheng's aura, perseverance and decisiveness. Zheng's intellectual temperament and the sense of mystery brought by the boss of the mysterious organization are all performed by Chen Daoming. In the past, most of the characters he played were deep and strategic characters, such as Emperor Qing in " Qing Yu Nian ". The decisiveness, indifference, and test of being in power were all vividly presented by Chen Daoming.
04 John Cusack
John plays the role of Heath, a mathematics professor at an American university. His sharp eyes tell that Rong Jinzhen is a mathematical genius at a glance. He is Rong Jinzhen's university. The mentor was also his guide. He had high hopes for Rong Jinzhen and taught him carefully. He continuously trained Rong Jinzhen and laid the foundation for his subsequent entry into code-breaking work. As Rong Jinzhen's inspiring teacher, he discovered Rong Jinzhen's hidden secrets. Talent played an important role in Rong Jinzhen's life.
The movie focuses on describing how Rong Jinzhen was an orphan in the war. Although fate forgot him in a corner of the world, he realized his ideals and ambitions with his own efforts. We see how he transformed from an unknown mathematician. A genius transforms into a decryption hero who protects the country. As the saying goes, "People have the ambition to reach the sky, and they cannot succeed unless they are lucky."
Rong Jinzhen had lofty ideals and ambitions when he arrived, but they could not be realized without opportunities. So at this time, he met the teacher Xi Yis and Zheng, two enlightening people, who fully explained the relationship between his childhood and everyone. The relationship between Rong Jinzhen and Rong Jinzhen had a profound impact. He and his mentor Xiez were in a battle full of games, but also had sympathy among geniuses. From this, "Science has no borders" can be expressed in one sentence. On the eve of the liberation of Nanjing, Rong Jinzhen violated the recommendation that "scientists should not participate in politics."
Just because he saw the compatriots around him losing their lives due to excessive bleeding at his own hands, he passively felt the current situation of broken mountains and rivers from his closed world, and then actively realized the relationship between individuals and the country. At the same time,
took up his personal mission personally and planted the seeds in his heart for later joining the national decryption organization. In the film, Rong Jinzhen has a close emotional interaction with Lao Zheng, Xi Yis and Xiao Lili. They are all affected, inspired and infected. In the end, the film uses a more humane care and more It completes the special elaboration of the feelings of family and country in a tactful and transparent way.
