On February 12, the action movie "Fighting Evil" was released for the first time on the Internet.
This big online action movie can be said to have gathered a group of top actors, including Xie Miao and An Zhijie, I believe that all action movie fans have been excited, when I spent 9 yuan for the first time to finish this movie, I was full of emotion: It is a pity that such a wonderful masterpiece was not released on the big screen during the Spring Festival.
"Fighting Evil" only cost 15 million, but it won the first place within 2 hours, which really made many Spring Festival blockbusters feel ashamed!
The rise and fall of Chinese-language action movies has led to the fact that even action superstars like Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen have been unable to steadily attract audiences to buy tickets.
Many action actors have tried to transform into acting in big online movies, but most of them are difficult to resist the money. In recent years, the new works of action actors such as Zhao Wenzhuo and Shi Xiaolong have not been outstanding, and their reputation has plummeted. In stark contrast, An Zhijie and Semyon are becoming more and more courageous in this field.
Xie Miao's "No One in My Eyes" and An Zhijie's "Blind Battle" won the box office championship and runner-up of online action movies in 2022.
Xie Miao's "Northeast Police Story 2" and An Zhijie's "Zero Pursuit" will compete for the online big annual championship in 2023.
Many viewers have begun to imagine the scene of the two fighting, and 2024's "Hunting Evil" has met their expectations at the beginning of the year. Due to the role arrangement, An Zhijie was willing to play the role of Green Leaf this time, while Xie Miao played the whole time.
"Fighting Evil" was completed at a cost of only 15 million, and its fiery movie action scenes are incredible.
Just 2 hours later, this movie has topped the list of new films on major platforms and has become a popular choice on the whole network!
Observing this year's theater Spring Festival stalls, it can be found that the movie "Hot and Hot", which focuses on the theme of boxing, has invested two or three billion yuan, but its action scenes are far less than "Fighting Evil", and it also cost 3"Flying Life 2" at a cost of 500 million, and a cost of 2600 million "Mr. Red Carpet" and so on. In the current market, the trend of exaggerated publicity trumps the quality of the film, and "Hunting Evil" has actually overshadowed many so-called Spring Festival blockbusters.
An Zhijie has always been a green leaf, and Xie Miaoxin showed extraordinary acting skills as soon as he appeared in this **, especially the 5-minute fight scene, which is really amazing.
In order to comply with the scale requirements, "Hunt for Evil" chose to set the plot in a fictional location called the city of Vusuri.
Mayor Long Wang, who took office with the goal of fighting drug traffickers, and even drank the treated sewage in public, won the support of a large number of voters, despite the fact that the people were ostensibly living and working in peace.
However, this mayor, King Long, is actually a puppet planted by the Jiaolong Gang.
They are the largest drug trafficking gang in the city of Vusuri, using huge sums of money to support King Long to become mayor, ostensibly claiming to crack down on the drug trade, but in fact monopolizing the market, turning the entire city into a vast and secretive drug production base.
Wei Yunzhou, played by An Zhijie, is the assaulter who broke this group.
As soon as the man appeared, he quickly and cleanly eliminated the two killers with a dagger, Wei Yunzhou was originally a coastal defense soldier of a certain country in Southeast Asia, and his 12 comrades-in-arms were brutally killed by King Long. In order to find **, Wei Yunzhou put down his military uniform and turned into an avenger in the dark, even if he was wanted by five countries, he had to bring King Long to justice.
In order to fight against King Long, Wei Yunzhou must find the anti-drug hero Huang Mingjin, who is another man played by Xie Miao!
There is no need to worry about spoilers, the plot of "Hunt for Evil" is intricate.
The plot of the film is a bit old-fashioned, similar to many classics, which is a compromise made in order to control costs. The filmmaker understands that the real focus of action movies is on the scene, so this is what "Fighting Evil" is best at.
The movie is 104 minutes long, and almost runs through a tense and exciting fight. Semyon and Ahn Zhijie present one of the best action scenes in recent years shortly after the beginning of the film.
Wei Yunzhou adopted the strategy of waiting for work at ease in this scene, and deliberately hired an elite mercenary group!
On the battlefield, when Huang Mingjin arrived, he found that his teammates had suffered heavy casualties. At this moment, Wei Yunzhou took out a heavy machine gun, which was his big killing weapon.
This guy is really powerful, ** completely impossible to fight.
Huang Mingjin drove a car and galloped towards Wei Yunzhou, and then hit the fuel tank, causing the vehicle to cease fire with heavy machine guns.
Huang Mingjin and Wei Yunzhou are now about to start a fierce peak showdown.
In this small ice storehouse, Huang Mingjin's magazine was empty, and Wei Yunzhou was holding a dagger, every knife was deadly, and his attack was extremely fierce.
Huang Mingjin picked up a huge hammer at this moment, divided it into inches, and launched a counterattack with a wide opening and closing.
Semyon excelled in hand-to-hand combat techniques in traditional martial arts, and his movements were beautiful and flattering to the eye.
Ahn Zhijie is clearly leaning towards the European and American style of combat, and he uses a variety of MMA fighting and jiu-jitsu techniques in turn, showing the duel between Chinese martial arts and Western martial arts, which reminds me of the classic showdown between Jet Li and Donnie Yen in "Once Upon a Time".
The two had a fierce fight for a full 5 minutes, and no stand-ins were used for real filming throughout the whole process. This battle is really fist-to-blood, and the audience is amazed!
This is just the beginning of the movie, and the next step will be a big battle between the two of them teaming up to face each other and performing combo skills.
What action movie fan can resist not watching it?
Although it is less than 1 day away from the release, I am sure to say that "Fighting Evil" can definitely become a dark horse for this year's Spring Festival with its excellent quality, even if it collides with the blockbuster of the Spring Festival in theaters, it is not inferior!
