In this sense, the role played by Chinese actor Xu Qing in the film is decisive for the entire film. This seemingly "little woman" role doesn't seem to be many, but it has become the most important part of the story of the whole film. Without the role of Xu Qing, the killer Joe would not try his best to resist when he was facing the "closed ring", and took the initiative to travel back thirty years ago to find the "rainmaker". The purpose is to change the future and save himself from being killed. His lover-Xu Qing. Therefore, the role of Xu Qing determines the motivation of the theme of "crossing" in the whole movie, and is also the internal reason for promoting the meeting and confrontation of "two killer Joes". In other words, the role played by Xu Qing is the main driving force for the development and advancement of the entire film.
For Xu Qing, playing such a role is the best affirmation of her acting skills. In the current situation that the so-called "breaking into Hollywood" has become a trend for many domestic actors, there are not many who can really occupy an important position in Hollywood films, and most people can only be reduced to insignificant or even irrelevant in the play. Role, and Xu Qing is able to play an important role in a big production of Hollywood top stars such as Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt. It’s really not too many. It should be said that this is the best affirmation for Xu Qing: on the one hand, her typical oriental beauty is highly representative in the film, and on the other hand, her performance in the film is truly convincing.
In the film, as the wife of the killer Joe Mirai, the role played by Xu Qing is of great significance to the change of this role. A killer who didn't blink his eyes would eventually throw himself into the sea as a gun of life. The most important reason for this was that Xu Qing completely infected and changed him, making him willing to give up his assassin career for him. And where does the charm of this affection come from? Xu Qing's appearance speaks for itself. When Killer Joe first saw Xu Qing's character, he could only describe it as "stunning". This woman wrapped in a green headscarf naturally had an irresistible charm, and it was also in the film that Joe remained the same after being rejected by her several times. The main reason for "hunting down". The film uses just a few shots to explain the feelings between the two people: the lingering in bed, Xu Qing's care when Joe is unwell, and the two people arguing in the car but highlighting the affectionate scenes... these are few. On the one hand, the scene of "Xu Qing" explains how strong the two people are. On the other hand, it clearly shows the importance of Xu Qing's role to Qiao's transformation. What is worthy of recognition is that in these few shots, Xu Qing used her own performance to interpret an unforgettable oriental beauty, and behind her subtle expressions, it reflects the character's feelings for Killer Joe. The complex and deep, and these are the reasons that caused Killer Joe's recklessness.
On the other hand, in such a film with many stars, Xu Qing did not show any timidity in her performance. In the limited role given to herself, Xu Qing put her understanding of the role completely into her interpretation, giving the audience an unforgettable role. For Xu Qing, this is an important step in her acting career. From the original "Walking and Singing" and "Crazy" to "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Xu Qing has created countless unforgettable roles for the audience, and this time in the performance of "Loop Messenger", the audience sees the changes. The stage for her to show her style is getting bigger and bigger, but what remains unchanged is her acting, which is still as good as ever.
