His beautiful, sculptural, three-dimensional face can be switched freely in different environments and roles without conflict. In terms of appearance, his face with high nose and deep eyes has a Western charm, but his extremely soft hair roots and warm eyes reveal a very authentic and oriental flavor. In terms of movies, whether it is the arrogant black boss in "Year of the Dragon" or the down-and-out The Last Emperor in "The Last Emperor", John Lone is portrayed as handsome and cool   . In "Year of the Dragon", the young, arrogant, and unapologetic violent behavior of the black boss played by John Lone is favored   . In "The Last Emperor", John Lone interprets Pu Yi's life spanning a huge span in age, status and status. His face full of oriental mystery and a somewhat cold face left a deep impression on people .

      The "humiliating China" film?

      Filmed before we were born in 1985, New York Chinatown, called war zone in the play. Director Michael Cimino sounds familiar to me, but I still remember the "The Deer Hunter" that Liu copied me. One of the screenwriters of this play is Dingding's Olive Stone. The actor is Zunlong who plays Puyi in...

      "what!"

      This is a movie that I would never have watched without Zun Long. This male pig with neither IQ nor emotional intelligence is the best protagonist I have ever seen. With you going around, you killed almost all the people in the movie. I feel sorry for your wife. At the end, you will be a savior and...

    Year of the Dragon short comments

      It's empty to insult China's name, but it is serious about stacking up all kinds of blunt plots, but the funeral song at the beginning and the end is quite interesting. Several scenes seem to have inspiration, but they are always scratching their heads. The setting is clear at a glance, and a good theme is wasted. Zunlong was so handsome back then that there was no distinction between males and females, no wonder Butterfly Junli made Uncle Tie obsessed

      Zunlong definitely deserves one star. So beautiful! Mickey Rourke and Zunlong, there must be no problem in appearance, but the movie is really bad, even if the screenwriters are Cimino and Stone. The script feels quite thoughtful, but the story is too poorly told. After watching it, it feels like a naive movie of police and bandits fighting. Fortunately, the background of Chinatown can add a touch of novelty. The male protagonist is extremely unpleasant, an impulsive racist tending to the police, and he has absolutely no idea what he is after.
