Chapter 31
Zhou Limin, a well-known domestic film critic, was hiding among the tens of thousands of audience members. As far as he knew, there were at least a dozen film critics like him who came to the scene today.

But Zhou Liming was different from the others. Most of the others were hired by the film crew, while Zhou Limin came uninvited.

Zhou Limin has a nickname in the industry—Smelly Mouth Zhou Limin. From this nickname, one can guess why the film studio didn't want to invite him during the promotion.

The movie started, and Zhou Limin also took out his hand-sized notebook, ready to write down the "highlights" of the movie at any time. Of course, from his nickname of "stinky mouth Zhou Limin", he knew why the "highlights" here are in quotation marks up.

At the beginning of the film, a frustrated middle-aged man with extraordinary skills, an ex-wife who remarries a rich man, and a rebellious and careless daughter.

In just a few minutes of the opening of the film, Zhou Limin wrote in a small notebook: "The opening of the middle-aged crisis is somewhat similar to Bruce Willis' "Die Hard". The story is still old, the lone hero is far-sighted, the daughter is rebellious, and good words are difficult. Persuading the damned ghost, the visionary protagonist, the deadly teammate, the late policeman, a movie that can predict the content of the next two hours in the opening 2 minutes, the huge momentum of the premiere may hardly boost Cheng Longjiang's box office. Influence."

The movie continued, the daughter's best friend was arrested, the daughter was so frightened that Huarong was at a loss, and the old father thousands of miles away was worried, but he was extremely calm.

While quickly taking out the toolbox to show an extremely bluffing professional operation, he directed his daughter to hide under the bed in the next room.

But after the daughter finally hid it, she suddenly told her daughter in almost cold and heartless words: You will definitely be taken away by them!
In a word, it broke the daughter's only fluke mentality, and completely exceeded the expectations of all the audience at the scene.

"Kimmy, focus, it's important, keep your phone on the ground, you have five seconds, maybe ten seconds, time is running out, focus, say what you see, hair color, eyes, height , scars, etc., everything you saw, did you hear it?"

"Dad, I think they might be... Dad... big beard, 1.8 meters, tattoo of the moon and stars on his right hand."

When her daughter was suddenly pulled out from under the bed, she shouted out everything she could see. The father on the other end of the phone, who had been extremely calm and even cold, felt his heart throbbing at this moment.

Big beard, 1.8 meters, with moon and star tattoos on his right hand.

Is so little information really useful?
do not know.

Everyone only knows that when the daughter played by Liu Yifei was violently pulled out from under the bed, when Liu Yifei shouted out these kidnapper characteristics hoarsely, and put all hopes on this peaceful father who was full of conflicts At that time, the father played by Cheng Long was no longer an ordinary person, and ordinary people could hardly do anything except worry, but the daughter played by Liu Yifei must be safe and sound. This is the voice of the audience, so Cheng Long must God blocks and kills God, man blocks and kills!
Zhou Limin patted the ground to close the notebook and put it in his pocket.

"With my memory, I can still write from memory when I go home."

As for now, if no one can be saved after 96 hours, the daughter played by Liu Yifei will never be found again, so what else can be more important than this now?
there is none left!
Cheng Long flew to France on his daughter's stepfather's private jet, and then retook the route his daughter had taken, which made the hearts of the audience tugged again.

The daughter played by Liu Yifei has been taken away for so long, why did Cheng Long follow her daughter's route step by step to find her?If you find the next location, they will already be there. If you don’t take a shortcut, how can you save people?

Cheng Long sneaked into the chicken coop, found his daughter's clothes, rescued the girl wearing her daughter's clothes, and killed ten against one!
The fighting scenes are crisp and neat, with deadly moves, sharp editing, and tight rhythm, making people breathless.

Zhou Limin nodded secretly.

Cheng Long said that this movie is his transformational work, and it seems that what he said is true. Before watching it, he thought that this movie was at most an upgraded version of "New Police Story", but he did not expect that the final effect would be more similar to Matt Damon's "Bourne Bourne."

Seeing this moment, Zhou Limin judged that the movie was a success.

First of all, although the plot is still a bit old-fashioned, it wins because the inner portrayal of the characters is quite full, which greatly improves the problem that Cheng Long's films used to pay more attention to action and underestimate the inner portrayal of the characters.

Secondly, the casting of the film was very successful, not to mention the role of Cheng Long, it was originally a tailor-made role, the daughter played by Liu Yifei, whoever saw her being roughly pulled out from under the bed by a kidnapper, heard her panic It is impossible to remain indifferent even when shouting out the characteristics of the kidnapper in confusion.

From the moment Liu Yifei was caught, the emotions of the audience have been completely brought into the movie.

There is also the fellow fishing at the airport, and the girl rescued by Cheng Long from the chicken coop. Their acting skills are remarkable. Liu Yifei's mother and daughter appearing at the same time in the movie and also playing the role of mother and daughter are also a highlight.

Only such a beautiful mother can give birth to such a beautiful daughter.

Inquiring about the possible whereabouts of her daughter from the rescued girl, Cheng Long ventured into the tiger's den again.

It is another fighting design that is so tense that there is no room for rest. It can be said that it has subverted Cheng Long's previous action movies, giving people a refreshing feeling.

Of the twenty or so kidnappers, Cheng Long killed all of them, except for one who was used to press for his daughter's whereabouts.

His daughter's best friend had died tragically. Cheng Long took the leader of the kidnappers to a dark basement and tied him to a chair.

First, he punched the kidnapper fiercely in the face, and then took out two one-foot-long large iron nails. The two nails collided together, making a unique metal buzzing sound.

"Wake up, I want you to concentrate!"

Cheng Long held a big iron nail in one hand, then raised it high, and then slammed it into the kidnapper's thighs, and the kidnapper screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

The iron nail was connected to the power supply, and Cheng Long asked his daughter's whereabouts. The kidnapper kept his mouth shut. Cheng Long pressed the switch, and the light bulb flickered on and off.

Cheng Long turned off the power and continued to ask about his daughter's whereabouts. The kidnapper was a complete desperado, and he spit a mouthful of old phlegm on Cheng Long's face.

Cheng Long wiped off the saliva, gagged the kidnapper's mouth, and then pressed the switch again, and the kidnapper instantly tasted the taste of death.

Cheng Long turned off the power again.

"Where is my daughter?"

"We're not going to keep the virgins, we're going to sell them, she's a virgin and can be sold for a fortune."

"You sold my daughter? You sold my daughter? Who did you sell it to?"

"I do not know."

Cheng Long continued to gag the kidnapper's mouth, preparing to electrocute him again. The kidnapper had a mental breakdown and obediently told the buyer's name.

Cheng Long asked: "Where can I find him?"

Kidnapper: "I don't know."

Cheng Long walked towards the switch, the kidnapper had a complete mental breakdown, and even cried: "I don't know... I don't know... I don't know... Please... Please... I don't know..."

Cheng Long: "I believe in you."

He picked up his clothes and was about to leave, but stopped suddenly: "But I can't let you go!"

After speaking, he slammed the switch again, and then closed the door and left.

Seeing this, Zhou Limin's heart beat wildly.

The new look of the fighting design can only be regarded as a small surprise at best, and the innovation of the protagonist's acting style is the big surprise.

In the past twenty or thirty robbers were all killed by Cheng Long, and it can be said that you will kill if you don’t kill anyone in the battle, but now facing the robbers who have been tortured by him to the point of being inhuman, facing the robbers who have lost their combat effectiveness and lost The enemy who threatens, the protagonist still directly uses the most cruel means to ask her daughter's whereabouts.

If it is said that two big iron nails directly inserted into the enemy's legs and electrocution are extremely eager to save the girl, then in the end the kidnapper obviously did all the tricks, but Cheng Long still executed him with the most cruel and inhumane punishment. What?
This has completely exceeded Zhou Limin's expectations.

At the same time, this should not be something the protagonist can do at all.

No matter how heinous the person is, he will have his own harvest, and the protagonist cannot do it for him.

Because public opinion has always been overly tolerant towards the wicked, but overly harsh towards the good.

A villain can murder and set fire, rape and rob, can commit all kinds of crimes, and can have no bottom line, but in the end, as long as he occasionally says a few polite words to his neighbors, he can get a large number of sympathizers.

And a good person can have their family ruined, their wife and children separated, or tortured so that their life would be worse than death, but a good person can't be less than perfect. Any small flaw in a good person will be infinitely magnified, and in the end it will even be destroyed. Countless people rose up and attacked it.

Then say a word: flies don't bite seamless eggs!
Or: Although miserable, but self-inflicted, who made him...

In short, it is difficult to be a good person.

The theory of victim blaming is popular all over the world, as if imperfect good people deserve to be killed, murdered, and tortured.

But why?
At this moment, watching the protagonist Cheng Long unexpectedly kill the leader of the kidnappers, an idiom suddenly flashed in Zhou Limin's mind: heartily!

　Thank you for the 500 point reward of the light of the crown, I forgot yesterday.
