Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

The lights in the theater went out, and the big screen lit up.

After the opening credits, the movie's plot slowly unfolds.

To fend off African pirates who were preparing to hijack the cruise ship, Leng Feng jumped into the water alone and fought against four pirates.

The opening scene, featuring a thrilling underwater fight against multiple opponents, instantly captured the attention of all viewers.

Leng Feng fights several pirates underwater in the sea, and his high-difficulty moves are eye-opening.

The six-minute underwater shoot was completed in one continuous take.

To film this breathtaking underwater fight scene, Wu Jing risked his life, diving 26 times to complete it.

Seeing the audience's reaction, Wu Jing breathed a sigh of relief. It was worth it!

When Leng Feng raised his gun, a bullet flew straight towards his forehead, creating a realistic visual effect that made the audience gasp involuntarily.

The topic of forced demolition, which is very relatable, is also reflected in the opening of the film.

A gangster boss actually forcibly demolished the home of a martyr, and even held a gun to a soldier's head, saying, "You think you're so tough? You'll only be here for a few days at most. After you leave, see how I kill them..."

This is absolutely outrageous!

When Leng Feng kicked the bully to death for the sake of the martyr's family, cheers even came from the audience.

The film immediately captivated the audience's emotions from the very beginning.

The thrilling and exciting plot unfolds gradually, firmly capturing the audience's attention.

Amidst the civil war in Africa, Leng Feng, unable to abandon his duty as a soldier, begins a journey through gunfire with his African "godson" and a Chinese businessman to reach the Chinese embassy.

Yu Qian plays Qian Bida, a Chinese businessman who runs a small supermarket in Africa.

This character, who claims during peacetime that he "has not been Chinese since 3 pm on the 14th of last month," but immediately changes his tune to "we are Chinese" when war breaks out, is so shrewd, calculating, and cunning that the audience can't help but laugh.

With his profound acting skills, Yu Qian vividly portrayed the shrewdness, panic, and final transformation of a small character.

By the way, Yu Qian graduated from the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy.

Yu Qian has a rare quality: he is not annoying, and is even particularly likable.

Don't underestimate this point; some actors have acted for most of their lives and still can't do it.

That's what it means to have a natural affinity with audiences.

The fact that he was chosen to play such a "shady businessman" shows that Wu Jing has good casting skills.

If someone else had played the role, the effect might not have been the same.

At this point in the movie, Wu Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief; the movie was a sure thing!

However, the scene of Leng Feng using barbed wire to block RPG rockets is likely to spark a lot of questions and discussions among military enthusiasts.

In theory, it is possible for Leng Feng to do this. It is not unreasonable for someone with the protagonist's halo to be able to do this, so this is not considered a divine plot.

But those who know, know; when applied to Chinese people, it's simply unacceptable in the eyes of some.

Beautiful Chinese people can do it, but Chinese people can't...

The comedic character of Qian Bida also helped to ease the audience's tension and prevent them from experiencing aesthetic fatigue.

A balance between tension and relaxation is the way of both civil and military affairs.

In the battle for control of a Chinese-owned factory, Gu Zhiyan plays Zhuo Yifan, a "military enthusiast rich second-generation".

He was dressed in military uniform, holding a gun, and wearing a pair of red headphones around his neck.

He tried to control the situation as a military expert, even pointing a gun at Leng Feng to demonstrate his authority.

Zhuo Yifan's "tough guy" image has obvious traces of acting. Although he loves military affairs, he is more of a "theoretical strategist".

When he pointed the gun at Leng Feng, his hand trembled involuntarily, suggesting his inner tension and lack of experience.

Gu Zhiyan perfectly showcased the character's traits through micro-expressions and subtle movements.

"So cute!" The fairy-like woman sitting next to Gu Zhiyan couldn't help but exclaim.

Tang Yan, sitting on the other side of the fairy sister, also nodded frantically.

This "brat" who only knows how to show off is now exceptionally cute in the eyes of the older girls.

This is Gu Zhiyan's first time playing this kind of character, which is a pleasant surprise.

Like Yu Qian, Gu Zhiyan is also very popular with the audience.

This mysterious and elusive thing cannot be touched, yet it certainly exists.

At this moment, many female viewers in the screening room made sounds similar to those of a fairy.

Zhuo Yifan is not a one-dimensional "comedic character"; he has experienced a significant growth arc.

As the plot unfolds, when the factory is attacked by rebels, this seemingly boastful "brat" chooses to bravely take up arms and fight alongside Leng Feng and veteran He Jianguo, ultimately transforming from a boy into a man amidst the flames of war.

Wu Gang's portrayal of He Jianguo also brought a huge surprise to the audience.

This character is far more than just a "capable veteran." He represents a generation of soldiers who, though they have taken off their uniforms, retain a sense of responsibility and fighting spirit ingrained in their very being that never fades.

The combination of He Jianguo and Leng Feng transcends a simple pairing of old and young; it represents the tacit understanding and legacy between two generations of soldiers.

The scene in the film where the two fight back to back is extremely moving, earning them the nickname "Jing Gang Wolf" from viewers and becoming a major highlight of the film.

With his superb acting skills, Wu Gang showed the audience the patriotism and indomitable spirit of a retired veteran.

Li Yitong's portrayal of Rachel, a doctor who went to Africa to provide medical assistance, also impressed the audience.

Li Yitong perfectly captured the character's resilience and courage.

The climactic battle scene that follows is even more adrenaline-pumping, keeping viewers glued to the screen.

Drone raids, tank battles, and a brutal hand-to-hand combat between Leng Feng and "Old Man," the leader of the enemy mercenaries...

When Ding Haifeng, playing the naval captain, shouts "Fire!" without knowing the specific order, it stirs the heart.

Ding Haifeng's eyes were filled with tears, a mixture of anger, passion, and urgency that moved every audience member present.

As the film nears its end, the most pride-inducing yet most controversial part of the entire movie unfolds.

Leng Feng led everyone to throw away their weapons, raise the national flag high, and cross the combat zone. At that moment, both sides stopped fighting and fell silent.

This scene truly fills one with pride and honor; a flag represents power and strength!

At the end of the film, a Chinese passport appeared on the screen, with the following sentence displayed above it:

Citizens of the People's Republic of China: When you encounter danger overseas, do not give up! Remember, you have a powerful motherland behind you!

The moment the passport captions appeared, many audience members burst into tears…

This was another highly controversial scene. Even years later, when the Thai-Myanmar conflict escalated, it was once again used as material for ridicule by some netizens. Wu Jing, the director and lead actor, also faced questioning and attacks again.

Regardless of what happens in the future, the audience at this moment gave a thunderous round of applause!
