Light and shadow player

Don't look at Jiang Xuerou saying that she wants to revive traditional martial arts, but in fact the narrative rhythm of "Stop Killing" is completely based on Hollywood action movies.

What is a traditional martial arts?

His wife was killed, the inn was destroyed, and Sun Erlang fell into madness.

In the stable in the backyard of the inn, he dug out the long knife he had sealed up six years ago.

Buried together with the long knife were the gold and jewels he had accumulated over ten years as a killer.

The next day, he came to a mysterious manor with a knife.

On the surface, this manor is an inn, but in fact it is the center for Jianghu killers to exchange information and hand over tasks.

Established by an extremely large and mysterious organization, it has eyes and ears all over the world.

The arrival of Sun Erlang did not attract the attention of the people in the manor. After all, everyone believed that he had died six years ago.

But when he presented his token to the female shopkeeper standing behind the counter, the female shopkeeper's eyes were filled with incredible shock, but she quickly calmed down.

Zhang Li played the charming female shopkeeper. She glanced at the man in front of her and said with a smile, "Second brother, long time no see."

"Long time no see."

"The store has been redecorated, and your room has been kept." He said and pushed out the key from behind the counter.

"Okay." Erlang took the key blankly, turned around and went upstairs to his room.

In the evening, in order to inquire about the news, Sun Erlang sat in the lobby of the inn and drank alone, listening to the conversations of the guests from all over the world.

The people in the inn also cast their eyes on Sun Erlang's seat from time to time.

In the past half a day, the news that Sun Erlang was not dead had already spread throughout the Jianghu.

After a while, the innkeeper played by Yang Haoyu brought a jug of wine and sat opposite him.

"You shouldn't have come back."

"I shouldn't have come back."

"Listen to me, let's forget about it." The boss obviously knew his purpose, "Death is like smoke, you go back now, we will still treat you as dead, and no one will disturb you."

Six years ago, Sun Erlang tricked everyone into withdrawing from the Jianghu by feigning his death. The organization has issued a Jianghu order to confirm that he is dead, and no one is allowed to bring up the old score again.The organization will not overturn its own orders, and if Sun Erlang stops now, the organization will not hold him back.

It is his ability to deceive the organization and everyone.

It’s not that no one tried to use fake death before Sun Erlang, but they were all found out by the organization and solved. At the same time, the organization has an unwritten rule that if the truth is not found out by the organization five years after the fake death, it will be regarded as a real person. If you die, you can leave the organization.

The boss poured him a glass of wine and invited him to drink, which meant that the matter was over after drinking this glass of wine.

But Sun Erlang didn't buy it: "I will definitely find out who did it."

Paying out a few copper coins for the drink, Sun Erlang looked around the lobby for a week, and the eyes of tigers and wolves from all around fell on him. He didn't care at all, and went straight back to his room.

On the second day, Sun Erlang went out before dawn.

At the same time, the family of the young son who killed Sun Erlang's wife and destroyed Sun Erlang's inn.

His father also learned that Sun Erlang had returned to the rivers and lakes for the first time, and wanted to seek revenge from the murderer.

He knew it was his son who did something good.

He called his son and gave him a hard lesson.

"Isn't he just a wine seller? If you kill him, you will kill him." Human life is worthless in his hands.

"Bastard!" He slapped his son hard, "A liquor seller? You don't even know who he is, and how terrifying he is."

When Sun Erlang was in power, his son was still young. When he saw his son was puzzled, he said: "He is number one on the killer list, and he has not lost a single defeat in his debut for 12 years. He has killed 740 people. The old master of the Black Tiger Hall died in his hands." , you have no idea who you are messing with."

The son was a little scared.

"You go out and hide for two days first."

On the other side, Sun Erlang inquired about the murderer from another place:

"Yang Zheng, the only son of Yang Yi, the leader of the Salt Gang."

After the murderer was identified, the pace of the whole movie suddenly accelerated.

Sun Erlang broke into the tiger's den alone, and the Salt Gang also invited experts to stop him.

But none of the masters invited by the Salt Gang could leave Sun Erlang alive.

One of the two sides chased and the other fled, and one killed and the other counterattacked.

Eighteen kinds of weapons, fists and kicks are all in battle.

Let the audience get hooked.

Especially the last battle on a rainy night was shot with a particularly artistic conception.

The classic elements of violent aesthetics were brought to the extreme by Qiao Lei. In the end, Yang Yi and Yang Zheng and his son were stabbed to death by the river with three knives and six holes, and the other was nailed to a tree by Sun Erlang.

Sun Erlang was also seriously injured and left. The pattering rain, the hazy street lights, and the back of Sun Erlang going away were strong and lonely.

Darkness, it's over.

There were enthusiastic whistles and cheers from the audience!
The director took the creators to the stage to express their thanks.

"Is Li Yuan the actor who plays Yang Yi in the film?" This was the first question that was asked.

Li Yuan took the microphone: "It's me."

"Handsome!" The audience shouted.

"Your men's clothing is very good-looking." The reporter did not expect such a character to use a girl so boldly.

"Thank you." Li Yuan smiled.

"I would like to ask, is the shot of throwing the fire knife a special effect?"

"No." Director Qiao Lei replied, "That scene was actually filmed. We took more than [-] shots of this knife throwing action, and Xie Miao's whole arm hurt for two days."

Qiao Lei continued to add: "This action was conceived by Xie Miao and Wu Zhi together. At that time, our director and producer thought it was very cool, so we used it here."

The reporter asked a few more questions, and the main creators answered them one by one, and this ended today's premiere.

Cheng Yu'an, Liu Yifei and the crew returned to the backstage. Jiang Xuerou smiled and said to Liu Yifei, "How about it? It's a good change. I haven't buried your "John Wick"."

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Very good. I really want to go up and fight Miao Ge."

Xie Miao said with a smile: "You use a gun, I use a knife, and I will die as soon as you pull the trigger. What else do you want to shoot?"

"Hahaha!" The crowd laughed.

Cheng Yu'an poured cold water on it: "I'm afraid that martial arts fans won't buy it. The narrative is too Hollywood, and it's too far from the world in the audience's mind."

Liu Yifei patted her husband lightly: "Why are you such a disappointment, I think it's pretty good."

"Yes."

But Cheng Yu'an made amends in time: "But this movie is really cool and powerful enough. It is also a top-notch work when viewed as an action movie. The box office will definitely not be bad."

Early the next morning, "Stop Killing" was released with a score of 7430 million (including zero box office) on the first day, shocking the industry!

The numbers are not high, but how long has it been since you have seen a purely domestic martial arts film earn such a high box office.

""Stop Killing" was a success, and the cost was recovered on the first day to achieve profitability."

"The renaissance of martial arts! There is another storm in the rivers and lakes! "Stop Killing" is the first to win!"

"Under the circumstances of not being optimistic, "Stop Killing" was released one day before "Billy Lynn", and the first-day score of 7000 million detonated movie viewing in November ahead of schedule!"

However, Liu Yifei and Cheng Yu'an took time to go to Zhejiang Province, unable to pay attention to market trends.
