Now I want to be a good person - Chapter 615
The reporter interviewed the rest of the crew, and the topic revolved around Liang Kun. Everyone knows how to answer. Just tell the truth.
The real action play is the biggest gimmick of the film. Warner has been promoting it and has achieved remarkable results.
Critics want to know how Liang Kun’s action films are different from previous Chinese actors. Liang Kun has a better figure. Maybe he plays more beautiful than Cheng Long and Li Lianjie. The battle scene released in the trailer looks more like a gun battle film. Maybe what he wants to show is gun fighting?
People entered the cinema with curiosity and the film began.
Liang Kun’s magic revision was different from the original from the beginning. The original version adopts the flashback editing method. John wick was seriously injured and watched the video taken by his wife on his mobile phone.
We can’t make this movie in 2008. Mobile phones are not advanced to this extent. And this flashback gives the audience a feeling that the man will die in the end, and the powerful foreshadowing about him in the film is not so convincing.
At the beginning of the film, the “hostess” played by sun Yizhen fell ill and had a dialogue with John in the hospital.
The conversation revealed several information. John quit his job to get married. The wife vaguely knows what he does and is glad that he is willing to change for her.
They watched the video together with a video recorder in the hospital and recorded some good memories. John’s wife finally died of illness.
When the film is released, the Korean audience will be a little disappointed to know that sun Yizhen has only such a small part of the play and will receive a bento in a few minutes.
John had no friends at the funeral. Only Winston, the owner of the Continental Hotel, came to talk to him. Winston wanted John to go back to his old job and said it would be a waste of talent if he didn’t work. John refused and showed some displeasure.
Liang Kun can still perform in action movies. His voice is not loud, but his subtle facial expression can let the audience see that he is holding a fire in his heart and may explode at any time.
Winston swallowed his saliva, dared not persuade him any more, shook hands with him and left.
After the simple funeral, Liang Kun received a letter and gift from his wife.
“John, I’m sorry I can’t continue to be with you. But you still need to love someone and something. Start with it. Your car doesn’t count. I love you, John. We’ve been tortured by illness for too long. Now my heart is calm. I hope you are the same…”
Liang Kun cried perfectly when reading the letter. His mood was always in place. After reading the letter, he picked up the big eared beagle dog and couldn’t cry or laugh.
There was still a literary play behind. John went shopping and met Joseph who liked his car at the gas station. He took a small caliber gun and wanted to commit suicide by the river, etc.
John always has a little loveless breath, which is not intense, but the audience can feel it. His acting style is very similar to Cathy Affleck in Manchester by the sea.
He didn’t write too much sadness on his face because he was numb. He has nothing in his heart. It will always be so broken.
He didn’t commit suicide after all, because the man who happened to run at night also took the dog and told him that the dog was man’s best friend. He decided to go home and live with the dog Daisy, but found the dog dead and the Mustang sports car lost.
The clips of the movie began to switch back and forth. Joseph drove John’s car to the gang’s garage. Aurelio, the boss of the garage, was dumbfounded at the sight of the car.
John soon came to the garage and got information about the man who stole his car. There is a change here. Aurelio of the garage is not Viggo’s man, but has cooperation, so he told John some information.
The two plots form a sharp contrast. Aurelio is very tough in the face of Joseph and others.
He knocked Joseph down with one punch. He was not afraid to be pointed at his head by Joseph’s younger brother, and continued to speak hard. “Listen, either you kill me or get out of my store.”
A little brother said, “Viggo will be unhappy.”
“Yes, Viggo will be unhappy. You tell him he will know the situation.” Aurelio turned around and didn’t believe they dared to shoot.
While talking to John, Aurelio poured him a glass of wine first, in a somewhat flattering tone.
He was obviously afraid of John and said everything he knew happily in order to leave himself out first. Even when John came to the door, he didn’t point a gun at him.
There was some fear in his eyes. He knew that John could easily kill him without a gun. At the end of the conversation, John drank the glass of wine, which was nothing to him.
John said blandly, “I need a car.”
Aurelio asked John to choose a car at random. When he drove away, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Aurelio’s actor is an unknown person and his acting skills are not very good. Liang Kun asked him to shoot the play many times, and finally met the requirements.
The foreshadowing behind is more wonderful. The gang boss Viggo calls Aurelio and asks why he wants to call his son for a reason.
After hearing that his silly son stole John’s car and killed his dog, Viggo said “Oh” and hung up.
This “Oh” is quite spiritual. Viggo was shocked and speechless when he heard about it. Kurt Russell’s acting is very good. After hanging up the phone, he seems to have lost his soul.
There is no need to say more nonsense, so the audience knows that John is not ordinary. The gang boss didn’t want to provoke him. He knew he was a big trouble. Viggo went downstairs. When his men reported to him, he was still distracted and couldn’t listen at all.
The literary play was very wonderful. The angry Viggo punched his son three times. Joseph was unconvinced and said that he had just stolen a car. The Asian looked nothing.
Viggo tells his son John’s identity and the consequences of getting into trouble with him, interspersed with scenes of John hitting the ground with a hammer.
This section is perfect in creating an atmosphere. With BGM, it seems that the demon king is about to wake up.
Viggo said that John called “babayaga”, that is, the “night devil”.
Joseph heard the legend of the killer and began to be afraid, “Oh”. This is the ancestral “Oh”. When you are afraid, you both react like this.
Viggo’s lines, coupled with the picture of Liang Kun swinging a sledgehammer, have great impact.
“I’ve seen him kill three people in a row in a bar with only one pencil. Only fucking… One pencil.”
When John’s story was told from others, many audiences got goose bumps. The strongest killer because a woman left the killer organization and completed an “impossible task” before leaving. It happened that this task was released by Viggo.
Viggo talked to Joseph as if he knew his son was dead. Unwilling to be the enemy of John, he called John with a try.
A gang boss said, “we can’t act impulsively. We should deal with it in a civilized way. I can compensate you…”
Before he had finished speaking, John hung up without saying a word.
The attitude is very clear. It’s over.
Then, this film
