"Angry Tide": A crime action masterpiece directed by Ma Yuke and starring Zhang Jiahui, Ruan Jingtian and Wang Dalu, the first stop of the shocking national roadshow was held in Shanghai Film City on the first day of its release on December 15. The director and the lead actor came to the scene to interact with the audience and share the experience of filmmaking.
Set against the backdrop of the intricate relationship between the underworld syndicate, the mysterious killer, and the police, the film presents a fierce crime battle full of reversals. At the time of the re-election of Hongtai Group, the mysterious killer Chen An (played by Zhang Jiahui) broke in, causing chaos in the group. The policeman Mak Lang Van (played by Ruan Jingtian) and the gangster Ma Wenkang (played by Wang Dalu) are also involved in a life-and-death battle.
Director Ma Yuke is an actor in "Dragon Babu", and has collaborated with Zhang Jiahui in "Sweeping Drugs", and this is the first time to direct a full-length movie. He revealed that the filmmaking has gone through twists and turns, and the whole process has been extremely difficult due to multiple difficulties such as the epidemic and typhoons. Despite the tension, this is the directorial work he has dreamed of for ten years.
The aesthetics of violence in the film and the innovation of action scenes became the highlights. Ma Yuke said that he pursues the "aesthetics of fighting violence", presenting hand-to-hand combat and cold weapon combat through real fight scenes, breaking the atmosphere of traditional Hong Kong films and striving for a full sense of reality.
The film reveals crimes such as kidnapping, human trafficking, organ trafficking, and drug business, as well as the dark side of the collusion between black and white. This brutal aesthetic of violence provokes the audience to think deeply, especially the questioning of life and the indignation of crime. Ma Yuke said that he hopes to show the idea that "villains are not pure bad guys" through the movie, so that the characters are more layered and emotional.
At the premiere, the director was praised by many directors, and Wang Jing even expressed his willingness to spend money to buy tickets to watch this "cool film". Tian Yusheng believes that this is "the ** that boys especially want to shoot" and said that the movie contains a lot of emotions, showing "emotions destroyed by money and power".
The leading actor Zhang Jiahui said that "Angry Tide" is a movie that meets his tastes and is full of confidence in the role. He revealed that he originally planned to change his acting path, but he expressed his willingness to continue to participate in the possibility of a sequel to this movie.
Ruan Jingtian, who plays the policeman, shared the character's sense of depression, saying that the movie is "the most ruthless scene filmed with the most tender emotions". He believes that even though it is a crime film, the audience can still get inspiration from it and call on the society to care more about the people around them.
Overall, "Rage Tide" is not only an action crime movie, but also a spiritual journey of life, love and perseverance. The careful production of the director and lead actors, as well as the unique treatment of crime themes, present an impressive film to the audience. With the launch of the national roadshow, the film is bound to attract the enthusiastic attention of more audiences.
