Chapter 561: Why did I come to find fault with myself, why did I suddenly become a contributor to th
As mentioned before, the painter's father was killed by someone. The murderer was apparently a Dutchman, but in fact it was the general of the Golden Triangle who was behind the murder.
Therefore, the painter came to the Golden Triangle this time not to seek revenge against the general, but to seek revenge.
The painter was well-prepared, well-equipped, and had a strong team fighting capacity. He managed to destroy the general's group by deliberate calculations or unintentional calculations.
During this period, Li Wen rescued Xiu Qing, a Golden Triangle counterfeiting expert who was disfigured due to a fight.
The explosive shootout scenes in Hong Kong films have always been the best in the domestic film industry, and they are also one of the magic weapons that still exist in Hong Kong films today. The director of "Unparalleled Director" Mak Chong is the best director in Hong Kong who is good at police crimes.
Therefore, let’s not talk about the battle in "Wushuang", but it is definitely explosive. Even the audience who is not interested in these stunt scenes will be excited to watch it.
Of course, this scene is not without flaws.
For example, a group of painters and counterfeiters are more powerful than the drug criminals in the Golden Triangle, and they defeated an organization with one against a hundred.
Although there are some explanations in the movie, such as the painter's team having fierce firepower and even using heavy weapons such as fire bombs, the general and others were not prepared enough and were defeated by the blitzkrieg.
But if we look carefully at the strength of the enemy and ourselves, this section is still a bit exaggerated, but this is also an old problem in Hong Kong movies.
Strong men emerge in large numbers!
Fighting one against ten is just drizzle, fighting one against one hundred is a routine operation, and destroying an entire organization by one person is nothing new.
Bringing together the protagonists and villains of Hong Kong TV series, it is not impossible to touch Gotham City.
In reality, it is estimated that Mexico’s drug control can be solved...
In contrast, "Wushuang" is more or less covered by heavy firepower such as rocket launchers, and its combat effectiveness is within the range that normal people can understand.
Let’s talk about the plot again. After witnessing the painter massacre the village of the Golden Triangle General, Li Wen, who is cowardly by nature, could no longer stand the painter.
He is ready to leave the painter.
The Xiu Qing she rescued also underwent plastic surgery under Li Wen's arrangement.
Xiuqing couldn't help but fall in love with Li Wen, who saved her life and gave her a new life. However, when she followed Li Wen to see Ruan Wen's painting exhibition, she saw that Ruan Wen's picture was exactly the same as hers after plastic surgery.
s face.
It turns out that he is a substitute and Xiuqing breaks his guard.
Seeing this scene, the audience also complained sporadically about this operation, which is another stand-in joke. Zuo Le has played it once before in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and now he is doing it again in "Wushuang".
I'm afraid this guy has had similar experiences or received some stimulation, right?
Zuo Le: "..."
If there is one thing to say, the stand-ins in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Wushuang" are really different.
Zhen Huan commemorates the deceased, Ruan Wen loves but cannot.
Moreover, the status and era of the emperor in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" make his stand-in jokes relatively more understandable, and they can only be remembered silently in the heart.
But Li Wen in "Wushuang" knew that his lover was still alive, but he didn't dare to fight for it. Instead, he deceived an innocent girl and asked her to change her head.
He is simply a scumbag.
Although Xiu Qing knew that she was Ruan Wen's substitute, she finally chose to pretend not to know because she already loved Li Wen deeply.
Li Wen wanted to run away with Xiu Qing, but was stopped by the painter. After a verbal conflict, the two parties finally reached an agreement and each took a step back.
Li Wen helped the painter get the color-changing ink, and the painter let Li Wen go.
The agreement was reached, Li Wen and Xiu Qing stayed temporarily, but Ah Wei, the former undercover police officer, came to the door and wanted to make a deal with the painter.
But the painter thought he looked familiar. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered that he had seen Ah Wei outside Uncle Li's antique shop. Moreover, Uncle Li had just bought an antique clock in Canada, and this Ah Wei was also a Canadian.
From the country.
After connecting several clues, the painter knew that they had been exposed and questioned Uncle Li. It turned out that he could not hold back and used counterfeit money, and was targeted by the Canadian police.
Uncle Li's behavior was considered a violation of the rules of the industry, and he should be killed according to the rules. The painter did not show mercy and killed Uncle Li with one shot regardless of Uncle Li's pleas.
Uncle Li, the only good friend in the team, was killed, causing Li Wen to completely break with the painter.
Ordinary viewers may not think anything of it when they see this, but as a professional film critic, Pang Yidian feels that this treatment is too abrupt.
This line of business rules was foreshadowed before, and the protagonist and the painter would have conflicts because of this, but unexpectedly, Uncle Li was killed.
The purpose of letting Uncle Li die is obvious. One is to highlight the painter's ruthlessness, and the other is to make Li Wen feel completely cold and break up with the painter.
But again, Uncle Li's death was too sudden.
Although the guilt of breaking the rules is obvious, it is not to the point of necessitating death, let alone being shot in public. By doing this, the artist is not afraid of making other people feel bad.
Although it has the effect of killing chickens to scare monkeys, the management method is to use both kindness and force, especially for these desperadoes, to win them over with friendship is far more effective than the threat of violence.
The painter behaved very calmly and wisely before, but now he directly shoots Uncle Li, which is a bit out of touch and seems to be a forced plot killing.
Not only this, because of the painter's own anger, the team only robbed two discolored oil barrels. Later, because of personal vendetta, he risked a war with the Golden Triangle General.
Such radical behavior does not look like that of a sophisticated and sophisticated leader of a counterfeiting group who has been in business for three generations.
After watching almost half of the movie, Pang Yidian finally found the shortcomings and loopholes of the movie "Wushuang" and hurriedly recorded it on his mobile phone.
While recording, he did not forget to pay attention to the plot of the movie.
Uncle Li died, and Ah Wei's identity was exposed. The painter did not let him go, and still invited him to a hotel for business, and then met him in person.
Bang bang bang, Ah Wei is dead.
Afterwards, the painter took Li Wen to the hotel room, where Ruan Wen and her fiancé, the art dealer, were tied to the bed.
The painter gave Li Wen a gun. Li Wen had never been able to cross the threshold of murder. This time he asked him to kill the art dealer, and Ruan Wen would be his.
Kill your husband and take your wife.
Li Wen was not Ximen Qing. He couldn't handle such difficult operations and was unwilling to shoot. However, the painter kept irritating him. Li Wen, who was getting anxious, pointed his gun at the painter.
As soon as he moved, other members of the team picked up their guns and pointed them at Li Wen, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
The painter was very calm. He didn't think that Li Wen dared to shoot, so he arrogantly put his forehead against the muzzle of Li Wen's gun.
Sure enough, Li Wen really didn't dare, so the painter smiled and shot Ruan Wen's fiancé to death, making the choice for Li Wen.
At this moment, Xiuqing suddenly took action, snatched a member's submachine gun, and fired a burst of fire, killing all other members. The painter hid in the inner room and confronted Li Wen.
Behind him lay his beloved woman Ruan Wen. This time Li Wen was not cowardly and killed the painter with a few shots.
The inexplicable fight and the inexplicable group destruction, this operation directly shocked all the audience, and Pang Yidian was even more overjoyed.
If we talk about the previous plot, "Wushuang" can still be rated above 8 points, but for this inexplicable wave of conflicts, even 7 points is too much.
Haha, you, Zuo, will also have a bad day.
Pang Yidian laughed wildly in his heart, almost unable to hold back his joy, and left the cinema directly to go back to work on the manuscript. However, due to professional habits, he decided to stay and watch the rest of the ending.
Although he stayed, Pang Yidian had no expectations for the subsequent plot.
If, as expected, the painter survives and comes to take revenge, the two sides engage in a decisive battle, there may be scenes involving the police, and the painter will definitely die in the end.
What is less certain is whether Li Wen and Ruan Wen will survive.
According to the standard Hong Kong movie routine, the probability of Li Wen's death is over 70%, and then Ruan Wen lives alone. There is also a 20% possibility that Ruan Wen sacrificed his life to save Li Wen, and Li Wen lives with guilt for the rest of his life.
The remaining 10% means that both people survive or both people die.
There is also a very small chance that everyone is not dead, or Ruan Wen dies, the painter runs away, Li Wen takes revenge on the painter, and then waits to film the second part.
In his heart, Pang Yidian really hopes that it is the last one, because if it is shot like this, the producers of "Wushuang" and Zuo Le, who is the screenwriter, will definitely be scolded by the audience.
………
The plot of the next few minutes was indeed very different from what Pang Yidian predicted.
After the war, Li Wen and Xiu Qing hid in the villa they bought in Siam. They learned from the newspaper that the painter was not dead. He guessed that the painter might take revenge on Ruan Wen, so he planned to return to Xiangjiang to save people.
In response to this incident, a fierce conflict broke out between Li Wen and Xiu Qing. Finally, the two broke up and Li Wen returned to Xiangjiang alone.
Unexpectedly, he was caught by the Thai police on the way, which is also the plot at the beginning of the film.
However, what was different from the beginning was that before Li Wen was being escorted into the police car, he saw the person standing opposite him, who was the painter.
Li Wen explained clearly his experience with the painter and helped the police paint a portrait of the painter. The police granted him bail as agreed.
However, the condition is that Li Wen cannot leave Xiangjiang and must report to the police every 24 hours.
The case came to an end for the time being, and the police chief in charge of the case came downstairs to smoke.
At this time, a policeman in police uniform came towards him, and this man was the painter.
Go directly to the base camp and confront the police!
Is the painter so brave?
The audience became excited, and the leader also realized something was wrong and immediately blocked the progress. After a tense period of arrangement, the painter was pushed to the ground in embarrassment.
That's it?
I have taken off my pants, show me this, this is the virtue of a gangster who dares to break into the police base camp alone.
All the audience were disappointed, and at this moment, the biggest climax of the film came.
The "painter" who was caught angrily took out his police ID card and proved that he was an out-and-out veteran policeman who had been on the police force for decades.
audience:?????
Is the artist fake?
Just when everyone was stunned, as the police leader's pupils slowly shrank, the plot began to flash back.
There has never been such a so-called "Fa Ge painter". This character was invented by Li Wen.
When Li Wen was arrested, the policeman played by Fa Ge was the driver.
At that time, Li Wen was staring at the rearview mirror all the way. The police leader thought he was in a daze, but he didn't know that Li Wen had already begun to think about how to weave lies.
"Fa Ge painter" is a fake, Li asked him if he is the real painter.
He was the one who made counterfeit banknotes, he was the one who solved the problem of floating watermarks, he was the one who robbed and killed people and took the color-changing ink, he was the one who washed away the Golden Triangle with blood, and he was the one who shot Uncle Li to death.
From the beginning, Li Wen was deceiving the police.
At this time, the police chief also got the news that Ruan Wen had never left his hometown since the death of his fiancé, and the Ruan Wen they saw yesterday was fake.
Only then did the police remember the Xiu Qing who Li Wen said had undergone plastic surgery and now looked exactly like Ruan Wen.
The scene changed, and Li Wen and Xiu Qing were driving a yacht on the sea and leaving Hong Kong.
The scene of the flashback reappeared. During the fight, Li Wen beat Ah Wei to death, but Xiu Qing opened the hotel room, where Ruan Wen and her fiancé were tied up.
Xiu Qing took the initiative to arrest the two of them, just to see who Li Wen valued more, her or Ruan Wen.
Li Wen didn't expect the always obedient Xiu Qing to do this. He was furious and pointed his gun at Xiu Qing. Unexpectedly, the other two members of the team pointed their guns at him.
Under emotional tension, Li Wen opened fire and the fire spread. Except for Li Wen who was wearing a bulletproof vest and was fine, only Ruan Wen and Xiu Qing survived.
Later, Li Wen and Xiu Qing hid in Siam, but they still couldn't let go of Ruan Wen, so they were arrested. When he was arrested, what he saw was not the "painter" but Xiu Qing.
The letter Li Wen wrote in prison was actually addressed to Xiu Qingqing. He drew a picture in it of Xiu Qing's appearance before plastic surgery.
When Xiuqing saw the painting, she thought that Li Wen actually loved her, so she brought someone to rescue him.
From then on, the plot of just ten minutes overturned all the foreshadowing of the previous dozens of minutes of the movie, and raised the depth and style of the entire movie by several levels.
The theater was a little noisy, and all the audience were confused by the sudden reversal. They could only express their sincere and simple emotions from the heart.
"F*ck!!!!!!!"
Pang Yidian was no exception, but after he sighed, he felt a sense of shame of being slapped in the face.
The joke he still wants to see is that he himself is the joke.
He previously thought that the painter had a bad temper and lacked intelligence, and did not look like the scheming brains of a criminal organization.
Now it seems that if Li Wen is the painter, then it can be seen from these flashbacks that Li Wen is not the cowardly and courageous image in his lies at all. On the contrary, he is very domineering and arrogant.
In this way, impulsive killing and rough management methods are understandable.
As for the so-called three generations of painters making counterfeit banknotes, they are probably fake. After all, Li Wen's lies are both true and false. Li Wen himself is more like a combination of the "painter" and "Li Wen" in the lie.
And considering his obsession with Ruan Wen, if he was part of the Third Generation Organization, he wouldn't be so miserable that he couldn't even compete with an art dealer.
Therefore, the real Li Wen was probably a poor loser who started making counterfeit banknotes with a few people, which is why they encountered various difficulties in the production process.
The grudge between him and the Golden Triangle General is probably not the so-called revenge for killing his father, but for Xiuqing. After all, Xiuqing is an expert in counterfeiting banknotes. There is a high chance that Xiuqing conquered the key technology of US dollar bills.
This can also explain why Li Wen, a murderous and ruthless man, rescued Xiu Qing and trusted her so much that he even helped her have plastic surgery and change her hair.
If Xiu Qing had nothing irreplaceable, Li Wen wouldn't have spent so much effort.
There was also Uncle Li. Pang Yidian felt that he was killed because he wanted to promote the break between "Li Wen" and "Painter".
Since Li Wen is now a painter, this reason is invalid, and relying solely on professional rules is a bit far-fetched.
Because in Li Wen's lies, he showed great respect for Uncle Li, who was also a teacher and mentor to him.
Since his attitude can be expressed in lies, it means that Li Wen has indeed had this idea in his heart.
Even if Li Wen strictly manages the army, he will not definitely kill Uncle Li. Thinking of the flashback scene, Li Wen was extremely excited and angry when the two confronted each other.
So we can boldly infer that Uncle Li’s death was due to his betrayal of Li Wen.
After all, in the lie, Uncle Li had the idea of clearing his name and going ashore several times. He was an old gangster, and in order to fulfill his psychological needs, he drew counterfeit money to buy antiques, which seemed somewhat contradictory.
In addition, Uncle Li bought the antiques in Canada. Ah Wei is a Canadian policeman and often hangs around antique stores. In addition, Ah Wei's hidden identity was introduced by Uncle Li's old relationship.
Everything points to Uncle Li colluding with the police and trying to clear his name and go ashore.
In this case, it is very logical for Li Wen to kill Uncle Li. He can be forgiven for breaking the rules, but if he is sentenced to betrayal, he will definitely be killed.
Later, Li Wen did not disclose the cause of Uncle Li's death to the team, perhaps because of his face or to stabilize the morale of the army, which made others dissatisfied.
In the end, everyone got angry, and two subordinates turned against each other on the spot.
Of course, these are Pang Yidian's personal guesses and may not be accurate, but I have to say that the reversal of "Wushuang" is so amazing.
At once, all the metaphors and plots of the previous plot were echoed, and at the same time, it solved many viewers' doubts and plugged the logical loopholes in the plot that everyone thought.
Pang Yidian feels that he is likely to play "Wushuang" again.
I didn't watch it carefully before and missed a lot of details. Now that I know the plot and the subsequent plot, I can watch it again and compare it before and after, and find more blind spots.
“…”
Thinking of this, Pang Yidian suddenly felt a little depressed. He was originally here to cause trouble, so how could he contribute to the box office?
