is really hard to imagine, this " bomb disposal expert 2", which was only released at the end of the year, caught up with the last train of the annual inventory.
also really did not expect that as the sequel " bomb disposal expert 2", it can far catch up with the predecessor in a dark horse posture, and the addition of Liu Qingyun has upgraded the cast.
has a budget of US$23 million for the previous work, but it was turned over by the second one, almost US$40 million. These upgrades can be directly visible to the naked eye and presented in visual special effects.
is even more surprising. As an action genre, "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" has more skillful director execution, bolder imagination, and the established people are set to be complex and the most important action scene is tense. Stimulus, the rhythm of the film is controlled in one go, the literary show naturally guides the characters to respond and act, and the actions are matched with the triggered events to bring out the corresponding action scenes. Although the movie
is called "Bomb Disposal Expert 2," it is not a true sequel. It should be regarded as a series of the same Hong Kong emergency bomb disposal team universe.
starring Andy Lau in the two works although the occupation is the same, but the identity and name have nothing to do with the "bomb disposal expert 2" tells the story of a brand new bomb disposal team.
Pan Chengfeng Afeng played by Andy Lau and Dong Zhuowen Awen played by Liu Qingyun are old bomb disposal partners. The two were born and died for more than ten years, but during a mission, Afeng broke his left leg due to an injury at work. Caused him to become a disabled person.
However, Ah Feng is still optimistic. After a series of hard recovery training and devilish physical exercises, Ah Feng wants to return to the bomb disposal group and continue to protect the safety of Hong Kong and Hong Kong citizens.
But things are not as logical as Ah Feng thought, and he was involved in a terrorist bomb attack. Why did Ah Feng turn from a bomb disposal expert who protects citizens’ lives, safety and property into a bomb disposal expert How many truths and secrets are hidden in the terrorists suspected of bomb attacks, and what plans are hidden behind the organizations to exterminate humanity. The battle between justice and evil is about to start, and the story unfolds.
Compared with the previous work, "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" is more like a sponge in terms of absorbing experience, squeezing out the shortcomings and regrets of the previous work, as well as the problems that the audience discusses more and more. It has done a one-time overhaul. "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" deliberately emphasizes to show the audience, the main creator has made serious changes in some of the criticisms of the previous work.
For example, in the first decisive battle to destroy bombs, the film sets a red and yellow line for betting, and you can only choose one of the two blind guesses. There are such bombs in reality, but this setting is for the title of bomb disposal experts. Said that it was a bit ironic and amateurish. In the end, the protagonist chose the wrong sacrifice, and the bomb disposal expert became a guessing expert, which is tantamount to giving the audience bullets.
, in the sequel "Bomb Disposal Expert", has fully developed the role of the expert. There is a more professional bomb disposal procedure, but at the same time, it is also easy to understand for the audience to deepen the impression and understanding.
The more obvious upgrade and change is still in the relationship between the shaping of the characters and the plot events, which fit perfectly and boldly.
The first "Bomb Disposal Expert" has been pointed out by many people as the plot routine. You can guess the ending after watching the last scene. The plot design of the film is very similar to the plot of a traditional Hong Kong movie of police and robbers, and cannot create a modern view. The movie needs a stronger sense of suspense and excitement. Perhaps there is some tension in the natural dismantling of the bomb, but because of the principle that the protagonist’s aura must be fine, it also leads to the demolition of the bomb but the heartbeat.
feels that it’s not very good to step on it like this, I have to pull it back a bit, the first "Bomb Disposal Expert" is actually not that unbearable, these are the points of discussion compared with the more excellent sequels, because there are no advantages Can only drop to mediocrity.
"Bomb Disposal Expert 2" has been greatly improved on these issues, such as plot design, successAroused the curiosity of the audience, created a strong suspense bomb, and even gave you the routine first and then countered the routine by yourself.
is even more unexpected. The pros and the villains are not only struggling in the reality level, but also deep into the conflicts between the characters' inner contradictions. They are also very good to combine with the pros and cons. This setting is very good. Look and be bold, and interpret the title "anger" given at the beginning of the film very well.
For example, why Afeng was misunderstood as a terrorist suspected of planting a bomb, but then Afeng was reluctant to admit that he did it. At first I guessed it, yes, it was a thousand-year-old routine undercover, but the facts and truth are far more than the truth. Here, the real reversal of the film really began. Z3z
is a reversal suspense bomb-like plot, which is not the point of view and ambition that the director really wants to achieve. The director wants to use these events to truly create more complex characters and let the characters deal with their difficulties and encounters. . The relevance of
makes the interaction between the characters more moving and emotional, and prevents all the main characters from becoming tools for explaining the plot and promoting the story.
, for example, the female characters in the previous work seem to be very non-existent, and they need the protection and comfort of the male protagonist. They are reduced to a bridge that creates pros and cons and tensions.
But this time Ni Ni played Pang Ling, as a pivotal frontline captain of the police force. Although there are not many scenes, she has done a lot in both literary and martial arts, and has a very decisive role in some key decisions. .
In the plot design, the film also brought out a lot of problems in reality. The conservative and outdated system and concept, and the decisive battle could not be the outcome of a complete victory, all brought out a lot of problems. Thinking.
Finally, let’s talk about the special effects part of the action. I didn’t expect that as an action commercial blockbuster, the action was put to the back of the main story. I actually started from the plot and the role first. It can also be seen that the "Bomb Hitter 2" is polished in the script. In terms of character creation, this time I really worked hard.
In the special effects section of the action, the budget cost is doubled. Naturally, we have seen a lot of explosions. Even nuclear bombs and have been used. The terrorist bombings are not just a few buildings or tunnels, but several Hong Kong. A central landmark, Hong Kong Airport , IFC and so on.
If you remember correctly, it is mentioned in the book "Story" that if the story opens up the audience's imagination, it must present the effect that the audience expects to advance, even beyond the audience's imagination.
Since "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" removes all the nuclear bombs, it will always make the audience not addicted if it does not explode, but if it explodes, it means that the protagonist's mission has failed and there is no way to finish it. The
film uses a very easy way to achieve the explosion of the nuclear bomb, and it explodes twice! This also achieves the visual enjoyment of the audience, but at the same time it also completes the task of the protagonist that the story needs to complete.
has the big scene explosion scene, the action scene design in the small format, while Andy Lau was chased by the police, there is also quite a taste of "The Bourne", fast editing pictures, documentary hand-held mirrors, scenes The rapid conversion of this kind of hunting scene, it is easy to be chaotically filmed and lose the primary and secondary center of gravity, and in the end there is only playing.
But director Qiu Litao's skillful action scene scheduling clearly and naturally presents to the audience the progressive inverted triangle pressure of the hunting scenes. In the end, returning to the literary play is the turning point for the next link, not the chasing action scene. The end of the movie is the end, and the blending and cohesion between the civil and military scenes is natural. What does the film look like is hearty without a sense of breakage? This is it.
In short, "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" showed me what a mature and complete genre in our film industry should look like, from the meticulous crafting of the script, to the performance of the actor's dedication and strength, to the service and fundingSufficient support, a substantial increase in the director's executive power, these combination of punches together, so that "the bomb disposal expert 2" has become a group of dark horses.
