"The Insider": Lee Byung-hun's 2015 work.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, he was a proud gang boss with money, land, business and younger brothers, helping political and business bigwigs to grab land. Later, he discovered the evidence of bribery that the boss was rich in, and prepared to sell it for a price to help him wash his whites and reach the peak of his life. As a result, he was betrayed by the editor-in-chief he trusted. After being knocked unconscious, he lost his right hand. He was sent to a mental hospital. After escaping, he cleaned the toilet and was under surveillance at the same time.
While paralyzing his opponents, he used his subordinates to seek revenge, but the editor-in-chief saw through all his plans and betrayed them. When he reached a dead end, he cooperated with a down-to-earth prosecutor and agreed to testify in person, and the editor-in-chief used the height of public opinion to smear his personality. After being imprisoned, he worked out the ultimate plan. He escaped from the prison and confronted the editor-in-chief directly to get the recording. After that, he surrendered himself and let the prosecutor enter the enemy's interior to collect evidence. Finally, he used public opinion to break down the corrupt group in one fell swoop and avenge himself. Nineteen banned films, high box office.
Li Bingxian has no idol burden at all, and his interpretation of the frivolity of the little gangster and the subsequent downfall is true and credible, completely unlike his usual gentle and elegant appearance. Because the large scale reflects the darkness of the combination of politics and business, and is closely integrated with social reality, he has received great praise from the audience and won numerous awards for him. The Grand Slam winner is well deserved.
