Black and White Stealth, starring an Zhijie and Zeng Zhiwei, premiered online on February 4.
This new film, which cost 15 million yuan to be shot in Thailand, can be regarded as a super production in NetUniversity, but the film has chosen to be broadcast alone on a video platform, and its members are free of charge. The performance of the premiere was good, but it was a pity that it still made the same old habit of Hong Kong-style police and bandit films.
With a cost of only 15 million, it won the first place in 2 hours of release, and an Zhijie caught the action movie king fried again?
The film was released at 10:00 on February 4th, and by the time it was written at 12:00, "sneaking in Black and White" had topped the hottest list of new films on the platform in just two hours. With the blessing of the Spring Festival holiday, "sneaking in Black and White" is very likely to become the box office king of action movies.
In recent years, an Zhijie has made excellent achievements in the transformation of Paiwang.
In 2022, the first male main net "Blind Battle" earned more than 33.06 million yuan at the box office, beating Xie Miao's "defiant" to win the annual action movie championship.
In 2023, "Killer Zero" once again played Xie Miao's "Northeast Police Story 2", which earned 42.35 million yuan at the box office, which can be called the ceiling of the box office of a big action movie. As a result, "Black-and-White Stealth" gained a high level of attention, won the championship in just 2 hours, and predicted that its final share of the box office would be around 30 million. It seems that there is little pressure to recover 15 million of the cost.
From the beginning to the end of 98 minutes, I affirmed: an Zhijie will be popular all over the country.
After watching "sneaking in Black and White" for the first time, I dare to affirm that an Zhijie will be popular all over the country.
The biggest highlight of the film is undoubtedly the action drama, the film length 98 minutes from beginning to end, originally worried that An Zhijie will play the villain, the film will hang sheep head sell dog meat, An Zhijie will not play too much, did not expect the film is a real double male drama, Zeng Zhiwei although not many plays, but very critical.
It can be said that this "black and white sneak" did not deceive the audience.
The film begins with an Zhijie's one-man show, fighting dozens of people alone.
The wind and water played by the top gun rose, the action was clean, and the shot was fierce and spicy.
It is indeed the double red stick of the gang! This scene is the tone of the action scene of the whole movie.
Unfortunately, the character of an Zhijie was seriously injured in the film, and the big hit in the middle was given to young actor Gu Bin, a Hong Kong actor who was born as a model, who had also made a lot of police and bandit films before, but there were not many high-intensity fighting scenes. In "sneaking in Black and White," it is inferior to that of an Zhijie, but at least it is qualified.
Dock scuffle, the bar scene imitates "Kill Bill", and a machete show is also a tribute to "confused Boy".
Of course, in the most important part of the movie, an Zhijie went into battle. It is definitely one of the best action scenes in recent years.
This year's Spring Festival cinema blockbusters are basically comedies, and the market actually lacks action movies with a surge in adrenaline. at this time, "Black and White sneaking" is released, and it is really a matter of time before the fire spreads to the whole country. What is interesting is that Xie Miao's "defiant 2" will also be released soon. This year's NetUniversity Spring Festival action film is really a fairy fight.
However, the plot of Hong Kong-style police action movies is still an old problem.
"Black and White Stealth" is a very old-fashioned undercover story, An Zhijie plays A Tian is Hong Kong gang double bonus stick, In a transaction police raid, A Tian was injured, Zeng Zhiwei plays the boss regardless of A Tian, With another subordinate peacock escape.
Maybe he felt guilty and spent money to take care of everything, so that A Tian was only sentenced to three years in prison.
During this period, A Tian ate well and drank well in prison, and there was also a bodyguard, A Shan, who had a deep friendship between them.
The boss also promised that A Tian would take his place when he came out.
Three years passed in a flash, Ah Tian returned to Hong Kong to get back everything he had lost, but the boss was paralyzed, and the peacock was already sitting big, so naturally he would not watch Ah Tian sit in the pavilion. At the same time, A Shan and his sister depended on each other after they were released from prison, but his sister was born with heart disease and needed a lot of money for treatment, so A Shan decided to go to Ah Tian.
The whole movie is the story of two brothers conquering the world.
Of course, the audience can also guess, A Shan is actually undercover, did not graduate from the police academy, my sister fell ill, so ran out. The police let A Shan get close to A Tian and wanted to catch all the criminal syndicates.
The relationship between undercover and villains has become Brotherhood, which is the routine of almost every Hong Kong-style police and gangster movie.
"Black and White Stealth" also played a big, the end of the film told the audience, A Tian is also undercover, the film opening police raid on the boss is A Tian snitch, did not expect that the action let A Tian's boss received the box lunch, A Tian's identity is not known, he can only sneak quietly, ready to be the boss to get all the evidence.
Is this setting very similar to Infernal Affairs?
There is also a quarrel between A Shan and his boss, one side, each speaking his own lines, which is exactly the same as the "shiver" Aaron Kwok vs. Chow Yun-fat.
This is the biggest problem of "sneaking in black and white". It stews the classic Hong Kong films in a mess and has no core of its own.
Lead to the plot logic is completely sorry, A Shan went to A Tian for his sister's treatment, but why did he cooperate with the police? Just go to Ah Tian and get the money.
In the end, A Tian's so-called blackening was because he couldn't turn back. finally, although he found out that A Tian was a policeman, he was still accused of killing someone. I was confused. Ah Shan, who was also undercover, had a machete carry in the film. Why was A Shan all right? You can turn back?
Such an ending is completely forced and emotional. Fortunately, an Zhijie's acting skills have improved over the years, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.
If the plot can be better, with the action play of boxing to meat, An Zhijie this fierce new film can definitely achieve better results, this year's 46-year-old An Zhijie still has a chance, in the net big good honing, completely hopeful to kill back to the theater market, starring a real action blockbuster.
