The kings of bad movies in the online movie market will not be so easy to make money from now on.
Because, Shi Xiaolong has returned.
In the online film market, which does not test the acting skills of actors and has no requirements for plot logic, it feeds a group of bad movie kings who have no acting skills and no bottom line.
This also led to a miasma in the online film market, which made the online university completely linked to bad movies.
But after watching Shi Xiaolong's "Knife Catcher", it not only completely broke my inherent impression of online movies, but will soon bring a wave of impact to the entire film and television industry.
Although "The Knife Catcher" is a paid movie that is launched on the Internet, it is difficult for the audience to experience the coolness of the big screen, but it is not a loss to invest in the shares. After watching the movie, you know that it will definitely be worth the ticket price.
After it was launched, it quickly won the first place on the soaring list, if all the big movies on the Internet were filmed like this, the theater would really have no way to live.
First, the plot is exciting and exciting, the reversals are constant, and the quality is not inferior to the theater
In "The Knife Catcher", there is no golden six minutes, and the whole movie can immerse the audience in it.
At the beginning of the story, the people of the rivers and lakes sent Pei Xing (played by Shi Xiaolong), nicknamed Jackal, to arrest people with a wanted reward from the government.
In the desert desert, the unkempt, dusty jackal explains to the people next to him what a knife catcher is. After introducing myself, I explained my intention to the other party: This time it is you who caught you.
This is followed by a one-to-many fight scene, and the jackal is alone. Holding the coffin nails in hand, he knocked them down one by one, examined the stolen jewelry, and planned to take the prisoners back to hand them over.
But the box was empty, only a woman.
At this point, the foreshadowing of the early plot ended, and it also successfully led to the first hook of this drama, the woman.
Don't worry, although this movie uses a woman to lure jackals and the audience into the game, you can rest assured that there is no emotional drama, and this is also a breakthrough for "The Knife Catcher" compared with other big online movies.
What the audience wants to see is the female characters, who play a role in driving the plot, rather than letting them act as tools, either showing their flesh and eyeballs, or taking on inexplicable emotional lines.
The woman in "The Knife Catcher" is the key to all the subsequent choices and transformations of the jackal.
When she was rescued by Pei Xing, she killed the prisoner who kidnapped her with a backhand, and she would rather die in the yamen. However, when he learned that he was going to be taken away by the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion, his eyes were full of fear, and he begged Pei Xing to kill him.
Why would such a resilient and courageous woman be so scared? What secrets does she have in her?
The second hook, kid.
Pei Xing didn't know the reason, but when he saw the woman's eyes, he remembered that when he was forced to kill innocent children, their mother had pleaded with him with such eyes.
This look of despair and pain made Pei Xing guess that the secret behind the woman was related to her child.
Sure enough, with Pei Xing's investigation, the woman gave birth to a child for Xiangfu, which was regarded as a lucky star from heaven, but the eldest prince of Xiangfu regarded it as a thorn in his side, listened to evil arts, and wanted to use this child to refine the pill and protect himself.
The woman had one of her feet chopped off and was tortured, but she still never mentioned clues related to the child in front of the eldest son.
In order to earn money to repay his debts, Pei Xing negotiated with the eldest prince of the prime minister to find the child to get a commission, and handed the child over to the eldest prince of the prime minister within ten days.
But Pei Xing, who had good intentions, knew what they were going to do with the child, so he took the child away without permission, but he put himself in danger and was wanted by the government.
Do you think he's going to wander the rivers and lakes with his children? didn't want to be betrayed by the people around him, and he had been killed half to death, but Pei Xing, who had an emotional bond with the child, couldn't give it up, so he fought against the killing gods alone.
The jackal dog who can't be killed finally rescues the child, and also rescues himself who was once forced to kill innocent children.
If you change to other big online movies, the story ends here, but "The Knife Catcher" has a third hook, full score easter eggs, and double kitchen ecstasy.
That's right, this movie will launch a sequel, starring in addition to Shi Xiaolong, as well as the equally well-known martial arts movie star Xie Miao.
Looking at the online movie market, those who can fight and act, Shi Xiaolong and Xie Miao are the best.
It's just that the two of them used to take the lead and rarely cooperated, but this time not only on the same stage, but from the perspective of the role setting, Xie Miao played the blind man, and his reputation in the rivers and lakes is not inferior to that of jackals.
The jackal fights, the blind man is ruthless, these two people get together, is it you dead or alive, or is the blind man and Pei Xing all the way?
It can be said that the full-score easter egg left by "The Knife Catcher" directly whetted my appetite and waited for the sequel to be launched!
Second, Shi Xiaolong's play is wonderful, and the literary drama shows the level of strength
The success of "The Knife Catcher" is naturally inseparable from Shi Xiaolong, who plays the male lead.
In the past, action movies in the online movie market often used the faces of outdated actors familiar to the audience, coupled with the actions of stuntmen actors, and fiddled with fists and legs, which simply made the audience feel lonely.
And Shi Xiaolong, who was born as a martial arts movie star, is different, his fists are to the flesh, and the fight of real knives and guns can be felt through the screen.
This dedication and strength alone is enough to make the audience admire, and Shi Xiaolong's literary drama is equally wonderful.
When he first appeared, his messy hair covered half of his eyes, but his eyes felt as sharp as a sword, and he looked like he was smiling, and he also revealed a cold murderous aura.
The image of a knife catcher who walks the rivers and lakes and kills people without blinking an eye stands firmly in an instant.
In the process of one-to-many PK, Shi Xiaolong's expression was fierce and excited, and he performed the characteristics of jackals who don't want to die.
When he decided to put the child in the hands of the bad guys, his eyes were entangled and struggling, but when he held the child in his hands and decided to raise him, his eyes were full of hope and tenderness.
If Shi Xiaolong can only fight, it will be difficult to fight his way out in the online film market, because there are a large number of literary dramas that constitute a movie, and Shi Xiaolong can only stand firm if he truly achieves "both civil and military".
epilogue
When cinema movies ushered in the cold winter of film and television, Wu Jing opened up a new situation of domestic films with a "Wolf Warrior 2" and created a box office myth.
Subsequently, the quality of domestic films has steadily improved, and more and more 5 billion+ works have entered everyone's field of vision.
Nowadays, the online film market has become a concentration camp for bad movies, but there are also martial arts movie stars like Shi Xiaolong and Xie Miao who are really willing to work quality, and they have worked hard to change the situation of the Internet University.
If under their influence, the Internet University movie can be as wonderful and textured as "The Knife Catcher", then the new track of the Internet University will be opened up by martial arts movie stars.
It can be said that Shi Xiaolong's return is the glory of the film and television industry.
Looking forward to the cooperation between Shi Xiaolong and Semyon, and looking forward to "Knife Catcher 2"! So, what do you think of the film?
