1. From the time Ding Qing appeared in airplane slippers, he has been smiling hippie, scornful, and even a little bit forced to fight with his men. However, Li Zicheng, who has always been serious on Ding Qing's attitude, is indifferent to all kinds of impatience, and even reluctantly, he returned the counterfeit watch that Ding Qing gave him. When the two people were standing side by side in the elevator, when Ding Qing said to Li Zicheng, "I'm sorry, but I have to ask him for one thing," he used a negotiating tone instead of an order. Li Zicheng also immediately returned. "I really feel sorry for me, don't ask me", Ding Qing was not angry. Ding Qing always respected Li Zicheng very much, and had a completely different attitude to other people. He was reluctant to do something with Li Zicheng, and kicked and beat Li Zicheng's younger brother Shi Hu jokingly. When the two people walked out of the elevator and saw off at the airport, Li Zicheng walked in front of Ding Qing (Ding Qing repeatedly told him not to leak the wind and be careful of Li Zhongjiu, which shows that Ding Qing was very worried about Li Zhongjiu's attack on Li Zicheng when he was away). And every time the brothers in the house gave Ding Qing a bow, Li Zicheng did not bow. It can be seen that the relationship between the two people is definitely not an ordinary relationship between the boss and the younger brother of the underworld.
2. Judging from the experience six years ago at the end of the film, the two people worked hard together, and Li Zicheng was more courageous than Ding Qing. At the beginning, he took the younger brother to deal with Director Cui, and it can be seen that Li Zicheng is cruel. Although Ding Qing is the boss of the gang, perhaps it is because Ding Qing has more brains, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, or because Li Zicheng is concerned about his undercover status and low-key support Ding Qing as the boss. When Li Zicheng went to the fish pond to meet Jiang Ke for the first time, Jiang Ke lied to him that his task until the new president was elected was to continue to assist his older brother Ding Qing. It can be seen that Li Zicheng's contribution to Ding Qing's position as the boss of his gang and the third in the Kinmen Group is absolutely indispensable.
3. There is a scene where Ding Qing joked about Li Zicheng and worried that when his son looked like his father, the boys around laughed, but when Li Zicheng saw them, no one dared to laugh. And when Li Zicheng took the gun to kill the female Go teacher, the younger brother outside the warehouse ran in when he heard the gunshots, and ran directly to Li Zicheng through Ding Qing. I personally feel that Li Zicheng is more dignified in the gang. Perhaps it is because Ding Qing often goes to Shanghai to handle business. When he is away, it is Li Zicheng who manages the gang instead of him. He has to deal with the corpse every time (Director Cui, female Go teacher and Shi Tiger) is also responsible for the aftermath of Li Zicheng with his younger brother. Li Zicheng is the irreplaceable second-in-command of the Ding Qing gang. As his confidant, he is also qualified to become the director of the Kinmen Group (in contrast, Li Zhongjiu's confidant is not the director). Therefore, after the death of the guild leader, the eldest, the second and the third eldest, will compete for the position of the guild leader. After Ding Qing's death, Li Zicheng took over the Ding Qing gang without resistance, and the younger brothers all obeyed his orders.
4. When the female Go teacher first came out to investigate, she answered the phone and said: "The materials on both sides have been checked and they are consistent." Personally, I guessed that it was Section Chief Jiang who called and confirmed that the information given by Li Zicheng and Shihu was accurate. It can be seen that the police never believed Li Zicheng, or distrusted the two undercover agents. When Li Zicheng met the female Go teacher for the second time, what made Li Zicheng angry was that he followed the police order for many years, but the police never believed him and told him nothing. On the contrary, his younger brothers obeyed him. When Li Zicheng injured his hand and said "I am also a policeman", he had doubts about his identity, but at this time he was still loyal to the police and told Ding Qing's flight time to the female Go teacher.
5. It was the material about Li Zhongjiu that Li Zicheng had reported to Ding Qing that led to Li Zhongjiu's arrest. Because the material was obviously leaked by internal personnel, when Ding Qing went to prison to see Li Zhongjiu, Li Zhongjiu hated Ding Qing so much. Ding Qing explained that he did not do it by himself. Li Zhongjiu immediately asked Ding Qing who did it. Is it your follower Li Zicheng? It can be seen that Li Zicheng actually leaked to the police many inside stories only known to the senior officials of the Kinmen Group, which is very harmful to the gang.
6. Ding Qing went abroad in a low-key manner but was just blocked by the police at the airport. He also saw the insider information of the gang that the police deliberately showed him. He knew that there was an undercover by his side, and his level was very high. At that time, he should have suspected that Li Zicheng had become, so he became angry after getting on the plane, and did not tell Li Zicheng when he returned home for the second time. It didn't break out completely until he got conclusive evidence from his lawyer. When Ding Qing picked up Li Zicheng's cell phone (the usual name and caller ID were both "brothers"), Li Zicheng asked him when he returned to China and learned that he had already returned, and when Ding Qing asked Li Zicheng to go to the warehouse, Li Zicheng should I already knew that something was wrong (combined with the opening of the film to clean up Director Cui, it is estimated that every time the gang had to clean up the people before going to the warehouse), even his subordinate Shihu said that Ding Qing told Li Zicheng in advance every time he returned to China. When Ding Qing sent the old stick to catch the female Go teacher, Li Zicheng on the other side did not rush to the warehouse immediately. Ding Qing was drinking alcohol alone, and both of them looked serious. But in the end Li Zicheng thought about it for a long time, he still listened to Ding Qing's words and went to the warehouse. Perhaps he was prepared for the worst (the undercover identity was exposed and could not escape death). The atmosphere in the warehouse was very heavy, but Ding Qing laughed when he saw Li Zicheng enter the warehouse (whether it was joking to surprise him or killing Shihu with a smile if nothing happened). When Ding Qing asked Li Zicheng to open the iron bucket, there was a scene where he specially observed Li Zicheng's expression, and he was also probing (at this time, I personally felt that Ding Qing had already made a decision not to kill Li Zicheng). Ding Qing sent the Yanbian old club to capture and tortured the female Go teacher. When he brutally killed the undercover Shihu in the warehouse, he said, "These bastards have been playing with you (you have been playing with me)", which shows that Ding Qing is not only It is as simple as removing the undercover agent and revenge on Jiang Ke. He is venting his anger-the anger of being deceived and betrayed by the most trusted person, and I feel that Shi Hu died as a substitute for Li Zicheng. As long as Ding Qing had a little bit of thought of revenge on Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng would definitely die miserably (the most hated by the underworld is the undercover who betrayed the gang's morality), but Ding Qing never attacked Li Zicheng.
7. When Ding Qing pointed out the identity of the female Go teacher as a police officer in front of Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng's reaction was nervousness and fear and shortness of breath; when Ding Qing pointed out that we still had a policeman here, Li Zicheng was very nervous Sweating, his first reaction is himself. When Ding Qing hit Shihu’s head with a shovel, Li Zicheng was so frightened that he almost jumped up until he saw Shihu’s police information. At this time, Li Zicheng was really frightened. He didn’t even think of the confidant who was always with him. The tiger is actually a policeman. Perhaps from this moment on, apart from fear, Li Zicheng's heart also has despair and anger towards the police. This is a boundary for Li Zicheng's change of attitude.
8. When Li Zicheng was nervous, his small action was to touch his tie, and when Ding Qing was nervous, his small action was to rub coins: once he was rubbing coins while waiting for the doctor’s surgery results in the operating room of President Shi in the hospital; the other time was after knowing Li Zicheng’s undercover identity , Rubbing coins in his office, made up his mind and locked Li Zicheng's police information in the safe. There were also two scenes in the elevator that formed a sharp contrast. One scene was Ding Qing and Li Zicheng standing side by side in a circle surrounded by their little brothers; the other scene was the single Ding Qing and Li Zhongjiu’s little brothers fighting for their lives. Ding Qing was absolutely ruthless. With a pair of six, the knife was fatal, and even when he was seriously injured, he killed Li Zhongjiu's confidant. Only one person Ding Qing couldn't do.
9. Jiang Ke said that he didn't know why Ding Qing would let Li Zicheng go. Ding Qing’s lawyer also asked Ding Qing why he didn’t kill Li Zicheng, and Ding Qing’s expression on his face was just this. The lawyer immediately knew that he had asked the wrong question, and sighed lightly. Perhaps the lawyer is a bystander, Ding Qing's reason for not killing Li Zicheng is actually very simple-"brotherhood." Not only did Ding Qing fail to kill Li Zicheng, but he also locked his police information in a safe, and did not reveal the secret to his death.
10. Ding Qing trusts Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng has absolute trust in Ding Qing. Whether Ding Qing asked him to manage the company when he left, or asked him to go for a drink, although Li Zicheng refused at first, he finally agreed. When Li Zicheng came to the female Go teacher for the second time, he mentioned Ding Qing, and he said my eldest brother, and immediately realized that he changed his name to Ding Qing. When Li Zhongjiu’s car in the parking garage drove quickly to frighten Ding Qing, everyone else hadn’t reacted yet. It was Li Zicheng who reacted first to stand in front of Ding Qing to protect him (in contrast, Li Zhongjiu sent someone to attack Ding Qing later, too. No one stood in front of Ding Qing when the car hits).
11. For many years, Li Zicheng risked his life to perform undercover tasks faithfully in accordance with police orders, living a life of dual identities with fear. He doesn't care about his status, power and money in the gang, he just wants to quit. , I want to go abroad to start life again. However, the police concealed deceit and backlash many times, knowing that he had a hard time, they took him for granted as a useful pawn and manipulated him to become the vice chairman of the Golden Gate Group. At the funeral of the president, when Li Zhongjiu led his younger brother to trouble the police, although Jiang Ke could handle it, Li Zicheng had been watching from the corner. Perhaps at first he was worried that the police would suffer. However, after Li Zicheng met with the female Go teacher and Jiang Ke several times, he could see that his attitude towards the police had been changing. At first he was respectful towards Jiang Ke, then he was angry that he was deceived, but there was no reaction later. , No sorrow is more than death. When the High Bureau and Jiang Ke were drinking, the High Bureau also said that Li Zicheng had a good life and should thank them, but did not consider Li Zicheng's inner wish at all. When the High Council asked Jiang Ke if Li Zicheng still obeyed the police, Jiang Ke replied what else could Li Zicheng do. He was in a situation like a fish caught in a net.
12. The last time Jiang Ke saw Li Zicheng in the fish pond, Jiang Ke warned Li Zicheng "Nothing has changed, you are a policeman, don't forget." Li Zicheng smiled obviously (I don't know if it was a bitter smile or a sneer, the police at this time Finally remembered Li Zicheng's identity as a police officer) and lowered his head. When Jiang Ke assigned tasks to Li Zicheng as always, Li Zicheng didn’t respond until Jiang Ke told him that Li Zhongjiu was about to be released, and Li Zicheng reacted. Jiang Ke also specifically told him not to move Li Zhongjiu, and Li Zicheng turned around and left. (At this time, he has already made a choice).
13. Li Zicheng, as a net-wrapping fish, has always been in an awkward situation, struggling to survive in the cracks. It was his elder brother who helped Li Zicheng get rid of the net (Ding Qing once said to Li Zicheng in the restaurant, "Relax your mind, and things will be solved, believe it." He said to Li Zicheng in the warehouse, "This is even for Jiang Ke The longest answer is the best"). Ding Qing arranged for hackers to completely erase Li Zicheng's police information and lock Li Zicheng's materials in a safe. In fact, he was helping Li Zicheng to untie the case. The last thing that wakes up Li Zicheng is Ding Qing’s words before his death: "Relax your expression", "I thought I would never see you again, so damn happy", "You look tired, make a choice", "Listen to your eldest brother so that you can live", "If I live, what will you do", "Can you deal with me", "I have a gift for you in my drawer", "Be cruel, so that you can live" ,Understand". Ding Qing already understood the reason for Li Zicheng's somber face. He helped Li Zicheng make a choice and gave him a way to survive. After Ding Qing's death, Li Zicheng's eyes were red, tears were left, and his head turned away, with a confused face (in contrast to Li Zicheng's expressionless face when he knew his wife had a miscarriage). In most of the previous films, Li Zicheng has always been very passive and helpless. In the film, when Li Zicheng met a female Go teacher for the first time, he said, "It's so difficult. After 6 years of learning Go, I have not improved at all. I hate things that make people headache." Be interested and do it." Li Zicheng's gang fusion has proved that he is very suitable for the underworld (prudent mind and vicious methods). He is not incapable (not that he can't do it, just want to do it), but he is always subject to his undercover status (net-wrapping). ). In the end, Li Zicheng got his police information, put on the copycat watch sent by Ding Qing, and looked out the window alone in the rainy night.
14. When Li Zicheng put on the suit jacket handed over by his wife, turned around in front of the door and nodded goodbye to his wife, he looked no different from an ordinary office worker (the residence looked just like an ordinary apartment). Only when he opened the door and the two rows of younger brothers outside the door bowed their heads to him, everything changed. When Li Zicheng took the initiative, the subsequent development was completely out of the control of the police (of course, if Li Zicheng chose to continue to follow the police's orders, it is estimated that he would have been killed by Zhang Xiuji, and the result would be out of the control of the police). Li Zicheng used money to buy Zhang Xiuji’s subordinates to kill Zhang Xiuji to seize power, or to protect himself; send the old stick to kill the police Jiang Ke and the high bureau for confidentiality, or to liberate (no one knows his undercover identity) ; Sending his younger brother to kill Li Zhongjiu is purely for revenge, to avenge his elder brother Ding Qing (Li Zhongjiu has already finished playing, and his subordinates are either dead or arrested, which is not a threat at all). Li Zicheng finally became completely black and made his own new world (fishing and leaping dragon gate).
15. Although Li Zicheng finally took the position of chairman, Li Zhongjiu congratulated him before he died, but Li Zicheng is actually a tragic character. In addition to gaining a position of president that he did not intend to gain, Li Zicheng lost everything: he lost his eldest brother, lost his children, lost his follower, lost his Go teacher, lost himself The boss has lost his status as a police officer. In fact, he just wanted to live.
16. In the whole movie, Li Zicheng basically never smiled. He was always gloomy because he was full of thoughts (Ding Qing said about him several times for this). Even when he became the president, he never smiled. There are four rare laughs: once after the first meeting, Ding Qing saw Li Zicheng watching him while smoking, and immediately smiled at Li Zicheng and amused Li Zicheng. Once at dinner, Ding Qing asked Li Zicheng why he had been in a bad mood, comforted him to relax, made him believe in his eldest brother, and made Li Zicheng amused. Once in Ding Qing's office, he saw the copycat cartoon that Ding Qing gave him. Li Zicheng smiled (immediately, he took the copycat watch he disliked and sniffed). Another time was the last scene where two people tried to smoke after hacking together, but found that the lighter was broken. When they made an appointment to watch a porn movie with their cigarettes in their mouths, Li Zicheng smiled from the bottom of his heart. It can be seen that only Li Zicheng can really relax and laugh when he is in front of Ding Qing.
The death of PS chairman. Personal speculation is that when the police were unable to punish the chairman with the law, the second child Zhang Xiuji, with the support of the police, sent someone to seize power.
The first time I wrote a film review, I wrote nearly 5,000 words in a chattering, eloquent, and repeated revision. Although I watched several other movies starring in Lee Jung-jae, such as "Assassination", "Raiders of the Lost Alliance", "Viewing the Situation", etc., Lee Jung-jae's acting skills are still quite good, but his favorite role is still Li Zicheng. Only this film as a souvenir.
