Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 252 "Quick Chase"

As the lights in the theater gradually dimmed and the Yingyang Entertainment logo appeared on the big screen, the film officially began.

As a riddled Crown car slowly hit a lamppost, the door opened, and the blood-stained protagonist, the legendary killer Zhao Weike played by Zhang Yang in the film, rolled out of the cab in embarrassment. Come.

Due to the replacement of the leading actor, Zhang Yang made comprehensive changes to the character of the protagonist.

In the original film of "Quick", John Wick, played by Keanu Reeves, was a legendary killer in Belarus during the former Soviet Union, and Zhang Yang was not white, so it was natural to change.

In addition, there is John Wick's resume.

In the background of the original film, John Wick was orphaned at a young age and was adopted by his father's friends. Under his training, he moved to Mexico and then to New York, America.

In his youth in New York, he was recruited by an organization called "Lucas Roma", received rigorous training, and established relationships with members of the organization. Later, he officially took the name of John Wick. He joined the world of killers after his debut and became a legend.

Although these backgrounds were not discussed much in the first "John Wick", after all, at the time, it seemed that everyone only regarded this movie as a low-cost action movie, and no one could predict what would follow. Brilliant, but Zhang Yang already knew the popularity of the "John Wick" series in the future, so he naturally made all related character changes in advance.

In his revised script, the protagonist Zhao Weike, whose real name is Zhao Wei, is a laborer who went to the United States to find a way out during the turbulent times, and the protagonist grew up in Chinatown in New York during his childhood.

As his parents died during oppression, the protagonist Zhao Wei had no choice but to join the local gangs in Chinatown in order to maintain his life. During this period, he officially joined the Hongmen and became a special operator of the American Hongmen.

As for later, Zhao Wei's trajectory naturally began to reconnect with John Wick's original trajectory, and he became a top legend in the killer world. After meeting his true love, he quit the killer world and returned to Hong Kong Island to accompany his wife. Until his wife passed away due to illness.

Many of the foreshadowing contents in the background and identity are actually preparations for the future release of "John Wick" overseas, especially in the North American market. Moreover, in the content of the first film, Zhao Weike's identity is not elaborated too much. , Zhang Yang is not afraid that when it is released in North America, some departments in the United States will refuse to introduce it because it directly expresses the misery of Chinese workers.

And as long as this first "John Wick" can be a great success at the North American box office and gain some say, the North American distributors will naturally relax their restrictions on him to facilitate his subsequent content in the film. Here, I speak out for myself and for the Chinese people overseas.

This routine is actually similar to Mr. Li's path to overcome discrimination and win respect.

Facing these people in the American superstructure, as long as you can show enough business opportunities and strength, they will be willing to give you the right to speak and express your voice. Zhang Yang sees this very clearly, so if he wants to leave, he will naturally This is the way.

Returning to the video, the scene flashed back to a few days ago.

After Zhao Weike climbed out of the car, he took out a photo from his arms.

In the photo, it is he and his wife played by Wang Zuxian.

Looking at his wife in the photo, Zhao Weike tremblingly reached out his hand and gently touched the outline of her face.

The scene turned and went back to a few days ago.

When Zhao Weike woke up from his room on Hong Kong Island, his wife's figure still flashed through his mind. Every detail in the room showed that this was once a place where two people lived, but now, he was alone here.

Looking at the big screen, Zhang Yang showed a different decadent image than before, and the fans all looked surprised.

In all the films that Zhang Yang has shot since his debut, whether it is the first "Black Fist", or the subsequent "Fist of Heroes", "Slaying the Wolf" series and "The Raid" series, or even "The Ultimate" in which he has only appeared in one "Fighter", Zhang Yang's image has always been a passionate one.But at the opening of "John Wick", this sense of decadence that is different from previous characters is immediately refreshing to movie fans.

It turns out that from another perspective, Zhang Yang is quite handsome.

With fans sighing and sighing, the content of the film continues to advance.

After quietly presiding over his wife's funeral, Zhao Weike, who was physically and mentally exhausted, finally received his wife's deathbed gift.

Looking at the puppy in the cage, Zhao Weike's image of a decadent uncle showed a rare touch of tenderness.

While reading his wife's last letter, Zhao Weike choked with tears, which made movie fans feel sad.

Quietly, Zhang Yang's acting skills have evolved.

After training in so many films, Zhang Yang has already lost the rawness of his acting skills at the beginning and has reached maturity.

Although this kind of performance may still make it difficult to become an acting master in the eyes of others, there is no doubt that Zhang Yang's unknowing improvement in acting has begun to be enough to support him and stabilize his current position.

As for Zhang Yang's real plus point in the eyes of movie fans, it obviously depends on more than just his acting skills.

With the companionship of his wife's pet dog, Zhao Weike seemed to have finally overcome his decadence and had a smile on his face.

However, this situation did not last long. During a car racing to relax, a second-generation gangster took a fancy to Zhao Weike's car and car. However, faced with his offer, Zhao Weike naturally refused without hesitation.

The two argued for a while, and after Zhang Yang returned home, the second-generation gangster took advantage of the darkness to find Zhao Weike's home.

Cars were robbed, homes were smashed and dogs were killed.

Zhao Weike, who had gradually recovered from his grief, lost everything again.

After calmly cleaning the house and burying the pet dog, Zhao Weike also raised his head while remembering his wife, with a stern look.

……

On the other side, the second-generation gangster, played by Qian Xiaohao, drove a stolen luxury car to a luxury car club on Hong Kong Island.

After seeing this familiar luxury car, the club owner immediately asked where the second-generation black car was obtained.

After learning about his series of actions of killing dogs and stealing cars, the owner of the club was shocked. He raised his hand and slapped the black second-generation man on the face, and then directly drove the black second-generation man out of the club.

From the club owner's actions, the fans finally realized that Zhao Weike's identity was not as simple as shown at the beginning of the film. They couldn't help but have a trace of expectation in their hearts, waiting for Zhao Weike's next actions.
