Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 365 What is "Kowloon Walled City" about?

Zhang Chen returned to the company.

The company was unusually quiet at this time. Most of the employees had already gone on vacation, and there was not even a receptionist in the company.

The situation in Beijing is similar now. It becomes more and more deserted as the year draws to a close. Migrant workers have returned home one after another, and the roads are no longer congested. During the New Year holidays, half of the people in Beijing will be gone.

When Zhang Chen arrived, everyone else had already arrived.

Without a receptionist, Chen Xi could only pour tea by himself: "When did you come back?"

"last night."

Zhang Chen took off his coat and placed it on the back of the sofa, then took Chen Xi's tea and took a sip. The alternating hot and cold taste made him shiver.

"Let's go, they're already waiting in the screening room."

He came here today because Lu Yang asked him to watch the finished film of "Kowloon Walled City". There were some problems when the film was first being filmed in Hong Kong, but everything went smoothly afterwards.

In the small screening room, several people greeted each other and took their seats.

The staff were all on holiday, so Lu Yang operated the equipment himself.

Not many people came, including Zhang Chen, Dong Jianqiang, Chen Xi, Lu Yang, Lu Yian and Xie Miao.

Xie Miao is a typical example of a person who starts high and ends low. When he was a child, he worked with Jet Li, but he has been tepid as he grew up. Not to mention movies, he can't even get good resources for TV series.

This time, Xingchen Entertainment asked him to be the leading actor, which is probably the last chance in his life. If it succeeds, it succeeds. If not, he may never have another chance.

It’s similar for Ruy An. “Kowloon Walled City” is the second movie he participated in, in which he also made a cameo appearance as the final boss – Mad Dog.

The familiar opening credits appeared, along with the Star Entertainment logo.

The plot of the movie progresses very quickly from the beginning.

The police team received a tip-off and learned the exact location where the drug dealers were hiding in Kowloon Walled City, but Kowloon Walled City was a lawless place and the Royal Police had no right to enter to enforce the law.

The captain wanted to take a risk and sneak in, in and out quickly, but he didn't know that they were discovered as soon as they entered the city.

The moment the alarm sounded, Kowloon Walled City moved, and a large number of community members rushed to the police's location from all directions.

The police officers fled into a building in a hurry, but found that the gang members were standing outside the building. It was obvious that there was something in the building that made them afraid.

Sure enough, everything that happened afterwards perfectly matched the police officers' speculations.

The people in the building are all serious criminals, more vicious than the gang members outside.

What they like most is killing police officers.

Huang Ziyang, Wu Yijiang, Chow Billy, Andy On, these familiar "bad faces" are all small bosses.

Xie Miao's team members were constantly injured and they could only hide everywhere. The serious criminals were searching for them everywhere in the building like a pack of wolves.

Outside the Walled City, police support arrived. The senior police officer who rushed over in a hurry was played by Zhong Liti, but they were stopped outside the Walled City.

A large group of gangsters stood in front of them leisurely, with sneers on their faces.

As long as they are wearing this uniform, they cannot break into the city.

Zhong Liti negotiated with the boss of the Walled City, and the boss of the Walled City just said jokingly: "As long as they can get out of that building, I will let them leave alive~"

In fact, everyone knew that no one could get out of that building alive.

At the same time, police officers in the building were being tortured.

They were picked out from all over the building like chickens, and countless prisoners rushed up, knocking down one, and then another.

The action designed by Ruian is really good, with punches hitting flesh, no exaggerated sound effects, and no kicking effect of sending people flying, it's very realistic.

Many times it looks like a real fight.

Comparing the hardness of a head with a concrete pillar, and using a thigh to collide with a baseball bat...

There aren't many bloody scenes, but they all look brutal.

Lu Yang used montage here to contrast the scene of the confrontation between police and gangsters at the gate of the walled city with the scene of the police officers being massacred unilaterally in the building, mainly to show the cruelty of the police officers and the arrogance of the gangsters.

The background music is "The Light of Friendship", which is also a song that police officers like to hum when they are joking.
Xie Miao led his team members to escape and kill all the way. Small bosses were killed one by one, and his men were reduced one by one.

Finally, after the last team member died in front of him, he went crazy.

Self-blame and regret made him physically and mentally exhausted, and the psychological and physical injuries tortured him to the point of wanting to die.

He was not going to live anymore and decided to die here, accompanying his teammates.

But before he died, he asked himself to kill as many people as possible.

Xie Miao no longer hides, but actively looks for the opponent. If he can beat him, he will beat him. If he can't beat him, he will exchange his injury for his life!
Fight in a mobile way, and use the complex environment in the building to ensure that you will not be surrounded by the enemy.

The most famous fight scene in the bathroom in "The Raid 2" was used by Lu Yang here.

Using the partition of the bathroom, although Xie Miao was blocked in the bathroom, he only had to deal with three enemies at the same time.

The moves that Ruian designed for Xie Miao did not contain any unnecessary tricks. He could knock down a person with just two moves at most and make him lose his ability to fight.

Bang bang bang~
The movie was constantly filled with the sound of fists hitting flesh, but the people watching just felt their mouths dry.

They have completely empathized with the protagonist, they don't know how to think, they only know how to kill...

The final big boss is Uncle Dog himself, played by Ruian.

Crazy, gorgeous, both sides lose~
It is obvious that Gou Shu is very strong, with a body of muscular muscles, a sinister look and messy hair. Any audience member who sees his appearance will worry whether the protagonist will be beaten to death by him. Xie Miao is covered in wounds.

His only advantage was that he was determined to die and was prepared to die together with his friends.

After a fight, Xie Miao was no match for Uncle Gou and was beaten badly.

There was already a gap in strength, and he was covered in wounds, and his physical strength was almost exhausted.

Every attack he launched was easily dodged.

He took all the attacks from Uncle Gou.

I can’t win, I really can’t win, I’m going to die here…

Xie Miao was about to lose consciousness, and Uncle Gou had no interest in continuing to play.

After dragging Xie Miao to the window, Uncle Gou was ready to strangle him in front of the police below.

However, just before his neck was strangled, Xie Miao suddenly stood up, hugged Uncle Gou, broke the glass, and died together from the fourth floor.

It's just his last resort.

Close-up~
Close-up of Uncle Dog's panicked expression~
Close-up of Xie Miao feeling relieved~
Uncle Gou still wanted to struggle, but Xie Miao held him tightly. While falling, he glanced at Zhong Liti who was not far away, and a smile appeared on his face.

There was a muffled bang.
Under the gaze of everyone, the two men fell heavily to the ground, like a hamburger thrown from a high place, with the juice inside being squeezed out.

The people below were stunned!

They couldn't believe that the most vicious person in the city actually died in front of them.

The police officers were filled with grief and anger, but ultimately they failed to save their colleagues.

Staring at the two people piled together, two lines of tears slowly flowed down Zhong Liti's face...

But suddenly, the person above moved~
Zhong Liti couldn't believe it, and then the person above moved again...

Then, Xie Miao slowly got up.

Ruian's flesh pad blocked most of the impact for him, and Xie Miao was still alive.

Xie Miao glanced at the people at the door, then glanced at the building behind him, and gave an extremely ugly smile.

But no one dared to laugh.

Xie Miao staggered towards the gate of the city. He was so weak that he could collapse at any time, but no one dared to stop him and the crowd automatically made way for him.

The background music given by Lu Yang here is "Fresh Little Girl", a very soft song, which is very suitable for this occasion.

The film ended here. There was silence in the small screening room at first, and then applause broke out.

“Nice shot~”

"Luian's action design is very good, and Xie Miao's acting is also good..."

“They are all very good~”

Everyone praised it generously.

The plot of "Kowloon Walled City" is very simple, but as an action movie, who would watch the plot? They just want to see whether the fighting is good or not.

Are the plots of Jet Li's movies very profound? Many of those black people are fans of Jet Li. Do they watch Jet Li's movies because they like Chinese culture?

"After this movie comes out, you will definitely be famous, you will all..."

Zhang Chen's affirmation made everyone present very excited. In fact, Ruyian had already become famous.

After Taken, countless people approached him, wanting to invite him to be the action director, but he refused and went straight to join the crew of Kowloon Walled City.

To put it bluntly, this is also a smart man, and he knows very well who gave him all this.

Lu Yang scratched his head. "Isn't it too bloody? I showed it to Teacher Fu and Director Tian Zhuangzhuang a few days ago. They didn't say anything else after reading it. They were just worried that it wouldn't pass the review..."

Of course it won’t pass the review.

It's so violent, with people breaking limbs or hitting their heads with hammers. Even if it's a co-production between China and Hong Kong, it will definitely not pass the review.

At Zhang Chen's request, this version of "Kowloon Walled City" is not as bloody as the original "The Raid", but it is not much different.

The sound of breaking bones has been heard countless times in the movie.

"What should I do?"

Seeing that everyone looked like they were sure the film wouldn't pass the review, Lu Yang and Xie Miao became anxious.

Seeing that Lu Yang was really anxious, the others burst into laughter.

Dong Jianqiang patted Lu Yang on the shoulder and said with great experience: "Don't worry, there is a way."

"What can I do? Are you going to delete it again? I've already deleted it many times~"

The director will definitely be reluctant to discard every shot, but sometimes there is no other way. The length of the movie is limited, and sometimes you have to discard it.

"No, just submit it like this. Let me teach you a trick. If you want to get 60 points for the review, then you have to submit 100 points. The review team also has KPIs, so you have to give them room to perform~"

I've been really busy recently, I'll resume normal updates from tomorrow
