strict narrative logic
The director gave almost 60% of the shots to Ding Qing (Huang Zhengmin), because the success of this character shaping directly determines the success of the film.
Ding Qing is the key to the conflict between the police and the gang. He has foresight, sees through the layout of the police, and breaks the siege and interception of the undercover police with ruthlessness, making Section Jiang jump over the wall and rush to use the most important chess piece, Li Zicheng, resulting in a lose-lose situation.
Ding Qing is a very complicated character. And switch freely among these modes, which is confusing, sometimes lighthearted and humorous, and sometimes creepy.
After the death of the chairman, the gang members were without a leader. Section Chief Jiang interviewed Ding Qing, implying that the police would support him and get rid of his competitor Li Zhongjiu. Ding Qing looked at a stack of secret information inside the gang.
He smiled: "Xiba, it seems that there are a lot of undercover agents." "No matter how badly I go, I won't cooperate with the police."
Section Chief Jiang made a wrong move in this move, and the gang couldn't get through to the police. This is the bottom line.
After the end of the investigation, he went straight to the undercover and obtained the police's internal information from the Chinese hackers, and then he ran to the prison to stabilize Li Zhongjiu, who was arrested by the police. Section Chief Jiang temporarily trapped the beast Li Zhongjiu. If there is no Ding Qing's surrender, Li Zhongjiu will soon be released.
After the two met, Li Zhongjiu asked Ding Qing meaningfully, "You killed the president, right?"
Ding Qing said, "Isn't it you?"
Regarding the death of the president, everyone was suspicious of each other, and no one dared to stand in line easily.
Ding Qing suspected that Li Zhongjiu killed the chairman. When Li Zhongjiu was in prison, this possibility was ruled out. Li Zhongjiu suspected that Ding Qing had killed the chairman and put himself in prison through the police.
In the end, under the provocation of Section Chief Jiang, he and Ding Qing fought to the death.
Section Chief Jiang was afraid of Li Zicheng's renegade, and the action plan was strictly kept secret from him, which led to Li Zicheng's complete renegade after his death.
The wonderful thing about the director is that all parties are like hide-and-seek blindfolded. No one knows where the other is, so they can only explore slowly and try carefully, but undercurrents are surging, and if one is not careful, it will be irreversible.
Ding Qing took the undercover information, and was still steaming, fresh, and drove straight to the warehouse. The director presented the audience with a horrific scene of bloody massacre. It's one of the best scenes in the movie.
Here is an analysis of the role of the police in the undercover gangster Lee Jae-sung (Lee Jung-jae).
Li Zicheng is basically there in the scenes of Ding Qing, because they are the best friends in the gang.
There is a picture of Section Chief Jiang, and Li Zicheng is basically there too, because they are both offline and offline.
Therefore, the director took the initiative to give Li Zicheng few single shots, but whether his acting skills are full is directly related to whether the two roles of Ding Qing and Section Chief Jiang can stand upright. Fortunately, Li Zhengzai is not only handsome, but also has poor acting skills. said. Perfect!
Li Zicheng received a call from Ding Qing, his face was pale, and his eyes had the fear that only revealed when the prey was chased by a lion, empty, hopeless, and trembling.
But you can't help but go, and running now is equivalent to not attacking yourself. When he arrives at the warehouse and sees the tortured inhuman Go teacher (Song Ji Hyo), did she betray herself? The answer blows in the wind. . . . . .
Ding Qing was sitting in the middle of the picture, he beckoned Li Zicheng to come over, TMD, he was really scared to death. . . .
Ding Qing said, "This vicious girl, no matter how you beat her, she won't say who she is with. She has more backbone than the average man," and spit in the bucket.
The camera turns to Lee, relieved.
Then Ding Qing said half-jokingly and seriously, "But it doesn't matter, even if she doesn't say anything, I have a solution."
He took out Yitao information and threw it to Li. Here is the highlight moment of the whole movie.
The first one is a group photo of a Go teacher wearing a police uniform with his Section Chief Jiang.
Ding Qing suddenly took a shovel and slapped Shi Wu, who was closest to Ding Qing, with no warning. ".
Ding Qing's performance is progressive, showing a gangster's fierce, cold-blooded and rude interpretation.
Psychological warfare defeated Li Zicheng's defense line layer by layer until it completely collapsed.
In the movie, Li Zicheng, in particular, opened the file page by page, and faced with irrefutable information, he knew that he was doomed. Although he didn't say a word, his strong and calm eyes and the sweat on his face betrayed him long ago.
If Ding Qing came up, he would punch and kick Li, and ask him why he was an undercover agent. After so many years, the brothers have eaten inside and out! Then there is no creativity.
Ding Qing loved this brother very much, and gave a jujube a slap in the face.
Li Zicheng, whose body was soaked and his defense line completely collapsed, bowed his head and stood beside Ding Qing.
Ding Qing has calmed down at this moment. He does not expose Li Zicheng. The scene is still in the dark warehouse. Ding Qing directly uses his blood-stained hands to pick up the water and washes his face. There is a bloody smell all over his body.
The audience seemed to be Li, and followed him for a walk around the gate of hell. She was really scared to pee. . . .
The director has closely portrayed and expressed Li Zicheng's defection. Divided into three steps, with the unfolding of these three steps, the storyline is also advancing rapidly.
The first stage, collapse anxiety
At the beginning of the film, Li Zicheng explained that he had a pregnant wife who was about to give birth. In his heart, he wanted to get rid of his undercover identity completely and become a normal person after the new leader of Jinmen was selected.
The long-term mental pressure has made him fed up with this kind of game of soldiers and thieves. He knows all too well how gangsters deal with undercover agents, but Section Chief Jiang has broken his promises again and again.
Li Zicheng, who was extremely nervous and on the verge of collapse, rushed to the secret location to have a theory with Section Chief Jiang. In just a few words, there was a huge amount of information.
"Didn't you say it's over when it reaches President Shi?"
"Is it my fault that the police didn't prosecute President Seung Shi?"
"Didn't you say this is the last time?"
"There are only three people in this world until your identity"
"What would they do if they knew you were a police officer?"
The police arrested President Shi with the help of evidence provided by Li Zicheng, but failed to prosecute. President Shi died unexpectedly, exceeding the police's expectations, and had to change the plan and interfere in the Kinmen election. Let the undercover, who was already on the verge of collapse, continue to work hard.
The second stage, falling apart
Section Chief Jiang refused to disclose the specific arrangements of the police, which made Li Zicheng very frightened, just as he contacted the police,
What the Go teacher (Song Ji-hyo) said: "For so many years, all the punks under my command have believed in me, why don't you guys still believe in me, aren't I and you guys in the same group?"
At this time, he had begun to doubt his position, the police were guarding him, and the gang was walking on thin ice.
The last straw that overwhelmed him was that Section Chief Jiang was eager to achieve success, ignored the strength of the gang, and directly dumped a lot of internal information on the gang to Ding Qing.
Ding Qing replied directly: "Xiba, it seems that there are a lot of undercover agents."
Turning around, he spent a lot of money to hack into the police system to investigate undercover, and locked down all the undercover undercover gangsters, including Li Zicheng. A bloody massacre officially began. Li Zicheng, who survived the disaster, ran to find Section Chief Jiang, but It was discovered that the police planned to support Zhang Xiuji, the second-ranking figure in the gang, to be promoted.
No one cares about his life or death at all, he is just a pawn, and the police will cooperate with the gang if he has to. As long as this person is obedient, Ding Qing and Li Zhongjiu are both diehards in the gang. The bottom line, so the police will definitely "get rid of them and then hurry up".
The third stage: complete reversal
Ding Qing brutally dealt with all the undercover and police secrets, but only let Li Zicheng go. Even if he was dying on the hospital bed, he still had to ask Li Zicheng: "You make a choice."
Ding Qing showed his trump card directly. If Li Zicheng insisted on cooperating with the police at this time, then Ding Qing was equivalent to returning the tiger to the mountain, and he was defeated, but he made the right bet.
Li Zicheng's change is not only a change of role, but also a change of human nature. Killing Section Chief Jiang and Chief Gao will completely erase his identity as a police officer, and he will never be able to look back.
In the last scene of the film, the director used a brief shot to flashback in a flashback way to show that Li Zicheng, who had just graduated from the police academy, accepted in the car the undercover arrangement of Section Chief Jiang, who was the captain of the criminal police at that time.
In fact, Li Zicheng is a particularly sullen person in his bones. In this movie, Ding Qing has 8 out of 10 sentences to be swearing, but Li Zicheng rarely swears from beginning to end, and elegant people even collapse silently. .
Section Chief Jiang chose him as an undercover agent because he was an expatriate, and it was easy to break into Kinmen, because most of Ding Qing's subordinates were expatriates.
On the other hand is Li Zicheng's personality, with few words and few expressions on his face. When he was young, he was called shy, and when he was old, he became a city man.
Li Zicheng respects and obeys Section Chief Jiang, and all his hopes and justice are pinned on Section Chief Jiang, but when the situation changes, Section Chief Jiang gradually loses control over the situation, and gradually loses Li Zicheng's right to himself Trust, tragedy will inevitably occur.
Section Chief Jiang was killed like a fish by the killer. The movie portrayed this scene very realistically and heavily.
It was a secret meeting point that only he and Li Zicheng knew. The moment the killer came in, Section Chief Jiang already knew that the situation was over. As an old policeman for many years, he hung up without too much resistance, which was very puzzling.
Before Li Zhongjiu finally died, he maintained the dignity of a gang leader, asked to smoke a cigarette, and was thrown downstairs without batting an eye.
In fact, he is an existence that is as impatient and fierce as a horse. If the president does not die, he may be able to continue to work hard. Intrigue is really not suitable for him, just do it, it is suitable for him.

movie scene
The costume director for this film prepared 120 suits for the film, and the production volume of costumes exceeded 4 times that of ordinary films. The director has really made a lot of money in many scenes that show gangster scenes.
In the movie, Section Chief Jiang turned against Ding Qing, exposed the undercover, and lost his soldiers, so he returned to the carbine and fooled Li Zhongjiu. Li Zhongjiu, who was trapped in the cage, believed the police, if he didn't fight back while he still had the strength to fight back.
So the rare gang melee drama in movie history was staged in the underground garage. Ding Qing, surrounded by his younger brother, tried to make a bloody path. Everything happened suddenly, and Ding Qing was outnumbered and eventually died of serious injuries.
In this section, the director used a panoramic shot to show the tragic gang fight, and at the same time used a close-up shot to focus on Ding Qing, who was breaking through the siege. The big brother is the big brother. The shaking stopped, and as Ding Qing's retreat route shifted, it gave people a sense of urgency. There were almost no lines throughout the whole process, and he kept repeating a swear word: "Ah, Xiba!"
Ding Qing's elevator fight with a white knife is a famous scene that movie fans talk about.
In the small elevator space, Ding Qing finally retreated to the elevator surrounded by his younger brother, but as soon as the elevator door opened, Li Zhongjiu's thugs were ready inside and dragged Ding Qing directly into the elevator door. There are seven people in Jiadingqing. The camera first shows the elevator cable descending, the soundtrack is depressing, and the elevator is full of blood.
"Did that idiot Li Zhongjiu send you here?" "You were tricked by the police." Ding Qing was resentful, but powerless.

The use of film expression techniques
The director's filming of this work draws on the shooting techniques of many European and American gangster movies.
Also known as montage.
In "New World", Li Zicheng finally ascended to the throne of the boss and "The Godfather" Michael took a firm footing and washed the five leaders of the five families with blood, and the scene of liquidating old accounts is exactly the same.
Ding Qing did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to put Li Zicheng in the first position of the boss.
Uniform suits, Li Zicheng stood firmly in the C position, and there was no line in the whole process, which showed the cruelty of one's success and the dignity of the gang boss.
The movie scene switches back and forth between Li Chenggong and the brutal and bloody scene where several other leaders were killed.
That is to say, the development of the story is explained, and many pictures are taken into account at the same time.
The camera cuts back and forth between Michael's attendance at his father's funeral and the assassination of the five chiefs.
On the surface, it depicts the funeral, and at the same time, it also takes into account other storylines. They are presented together, the plot is more compact, and the audience's emotions and energy are firmly grasped by the director.
Michael sat, condescending, and received the adoration of others, who lined up to kiss the hand of the godfather, showing great respect and submission.
Michael's expression was solemn and thoughtful. It was a kind of blood-washing the five major families, the thrill of revenge, but also a faint worry about whether the assassination went smoothly, mixed with a kind of pride that was determined to win.
Actors are required to have this and its deep acting skills, full of emotions and a precise understanding of the characters and storylines.
Ding Qing blocked the knife for him, and the elevator fought bloody.
The bad guys did it for him too. Killed his immediate boss.
In order for Li to take the top spot as the boss, he must kill his own boss.
Li's eyes here are hard to interpret. Generally speaking, he is not used to his own abandonment, guilt towards Ding Qing, and a good idea of the current situation.

The deep meaning of the film
The film explores a profound question. After staying in the gang for a long time, is the undercover soldier or a thief deep in his heart?
The law has a clear judgment on right and wrong, but it is difficult to simply distinguish right from wrong in human feelings.
For undercover agents, maintaining justice means a certain degree of "treachery".
From the perspective of justice, the police do not need to discuss this issue and bring the bad guys to justice, which is the right choice in terms of reason and reason.
But from a human point of view, this is a very difficult chasm to bridge.
