The counterattack of ordinary people in the bottom society can often touch the sensitive nerves of the public.
For example, the 2013 box office hit and the word-of-mouth movie "Chinese Partner" put New Oriental's entrepreneurial journey on the big screen, and the inspirational counterattack story looks exciting.
Huang Xiaoming's classic line of Cheng Dongqing "If your forehead will eventually be engraved with wrinkles, then you can only do not let wrinkles be engraved into your heart" still echoes in the ears of the audience.
In this year's Chinese New Year, there is a movie called "Goldfinger", which shows the plot of "grassroots counterattack" in a unique way.
Although it has not yet been released, it has attracted widespread attention on the Internet, and what really attracts people's attention is the collaboration between Tony Leung and Andy Lau after 20 years.
Twenty years ago, in "Infernal Affairs", the two sides faced each other, and twenty years later, in "Goldfinger", there was a peak duel.
In those Hong Kong films that are deeply influenced by the tradition of "the king does not see the king", these two actors once again bravely faced all kinds of difficulties and performed on the same stage, isn't this the "king bomb" in the Chinese New Year file".
Although they shake hands and reconcile in the play, in real life, they are still inseparable enemies.
In the movie "Goldfinger", Andy Lau successfully portrayed the role of senior investigation director Liu Qiyuan, who was dressed in formal clothes, showing the ultimate spirit of chasing the case, and perfectly interpreting the image of Guang Weizheng.
In stark contrast, Tony Leung, in the process of playing the boss of the group, Cheng Yiyan, hides many unknown secrets behind him. However, his character is full of appeal, and he started from scratch and achieved great success overnight, a setting that is both fun and engaging.
Andy Lau and Tony Leung's deep emotions in the play are somewhat similar to An Xin and Gao Qiqiang in "Hurricane" to some extent.
Tony Leung shows a completely different style in the play and in real life, as if it is a gift from God.
In real life, he is always silent, introverted, and extremely socially phobic. When he walks on the red carpet and closes the camera, he can always see the scene where Tony Leung clutches Carina Lau tightly and doesn't let go.
In the play, Tony Leung may be a professional killer who is both delicate and elegant, and beneath his calm exterior, his heart is turbulent.
It can also be a charming uncle with silky eyes and an ambiguous pull concretization, and all kinds of different types of characters can be controlled, natural and advanced.
It is no exaggeration to say that even his "old rival" Andy Lau, Tony Leung is also a talented actor. Whenever I hear Tony Leung's performance, I think it's definitely a wonderful drama.
In the movie "Goldfinger", Tony Leung successfully interprets two very different lifestyles with his superb acting skills.
The contrast between the first half of the film, which depicts a destitute young man and the second half of which is a tycoon who stands out in the business world, is so stark that it shows a perfect counterattack.
When you reach middle age, you should be successful in your career and your family relationships should be harmonious.
Cheng Yiyan, played by Tony Leung, suffered career failure, family breakdown and death of relatives, and he lived a miserable life of "people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat".
When the enemy approached step by step, Cheng, who could not stand physically, raised his head, his eyes were full of mixed emotions such as fear, disappointment, and pleading.
The trembling eyelids seemed to tell of their pain, and their lips were stained with blood, as if to tell the sadness of those little people.
At the trough of his life, Cheng Yiyan chose to hide in a dirty, chaotic, and dark cabin in order to survive, and the environment at this moment was as "stinky and rotten" as his life experience.
Unfortunately, a beam of light unexpectedly "rushed" into the cabin, illuminating Cheng Yiyan's face, reflecting his confused life, and making him experience a complete "transformation".
The sunlight is harsh, but it also gives a warm feeling.
As you step out of the cabin and onto the deck, you'll see skyscrapers lined up densely.
At this moment, the seeds that can change fate began to take root in Cheng Yiyan's heart, and this battle of turning over had only victory, not defeat.
In this scene, Tony Leung did not use lines, but he skillfully used his eye skills to build a rich inner world. Despite what seems calm on the surface, emotions are actually quite volatile. With a few steps away and a cigarette, he was on full display from his initial admiration for Cheng Yiyan's prosperity in Hong Kong, to his later overconfidence in having everything.
"Tiger's eyes are round" symbolizes the ability to experience wind and rain and gain insight into the world, while "swallowing clouds and spitting fog" is an insignificant little person and huge ambition.
From a poor young man to a social leader, after putting on a small suit, his hair suddenly tilted back, and the poverty atmosphere of the bottom society was instantly shattered, showing the temperament of the hegemon everywhere.
When Cheng saw the luxurious scene in front of him and the wine glasses staggered, he couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect to become so rich overnight.
Several uncontrollable wild laughter, laughing bitterly, laughing like a night of pride, laughing with tears, full of bitterness in my heart, all feelings, because of the wild smile as a cover, so as to find an outlet for catharsis.
If you're not good at playing the role of poverty, then stop acting!Tony Leung and Zhang Songwen's "dirt and scum" style is indeed unparalleled.
In the movie "Hurricane", he played the role of Gao Qiqiang, a farmer from a poor background, and also a duty-abiding and honest fishmonger.
The strands of hair were not washed in time, and the face had experienced the vicissitudes of wind and sun, the pilling collar, the gray and simple dress, and the leather apron that always smelled fishy.
Before it went blackening, Gao Qiqiang's entire body left traces of life, as if it had been kneaded into a circle.
Zhang Songwen's mastery of the subtleties is really frightening.
When Gao Qiqiang was still selling fish, he behaved very submissive and available to Tang Xiaolong and his brother. In his anxious and busy state, he did not forget to gently lift the water in the fish tank, wash his hands, and then wipe himself dry. This action made people feel very gripping, and the real fireworks immediately rose up.
In the face of the injustice of others, Gao Qiqiang went to the meeting alone, but was tightly surrounded by a group of strong men. His expression looked very calm, could this be the protagonist image set up by the director for Gao Qiqiang?
If this were the case, then the realism would be drastically reduced.
Unexpectedly, when the camera switched, Gao Qiqiang's trembling fingers tightly grasped the audience's eyes, apparently deliberately keeping calm.
Gao Qiqiang's strong momentum and tenacity laid a solid foundation for his subsequent counterattack.
Gao Qiqiang earns a living with the help of others, so he has to spend a lot of money and effort to please them.
Zhang Songwen with his superb performance skills, whether it is the humility between the eyebrows, the flattery in words, or the caution in behavior, he vividly depicts the sadness of the little people at the bottom.
The plot of Zhang Songwen eating dumplings in shackles in the play moved countless viewers to tears.
Even if you are beaten beyond recognition, you must try your best to suppress your inner dissatisfaction and grievances.
But An Xin's hot dumplings completely shattered the tenacity he had pretended, the warm feeling penetrated into his heart, tears gushed out of the embankment, his eyes showed compassion, and he felt lost and helpless.
Despite the tantalizing aroma of the dumplings, it is endless pain that spreads to the tip of the tongue.
Although I didn't want to shed tears in my heart, the tears kept sliding from the corners of my eyes, and I had to constantly dodge and cover up, eat dumplings, take deep breaths, adjust my emotions, and life still needs to move on.
After Gao Qiqiang went to the dark, he seemed to be a kind person on the surface, but in fact his methods were very cunning and he did not hesitate to kill.
The kind of fierce air that emanates from between his eyebrows makes people feel creepy, and there is a strong sense of oppression, which is in stark contrast to the previous fish seller.
When we play both Tony Leung and Cheung as "poor", the difference between the two becomes obvious.
Tony Leung's acting skills are layered and give a strong cinematic feel, his performances are both natural and relaxed, with a deep power, and his acting skills are undoubtedly superior.
Zhang Songwen's performance is full of the breath of life, the depth of emotion and empathy are very strong, he pays attention to every subtlety, can always touch the hearts of the audience, showing his profound accumulation.
In the journey of life, the grassroots will always encounter adversity, and when there is no turning back, both characters have their unique charm. Which role do you prefer?
