just say a few words

I haven't been to the cinema for a long time. I went to see "Famous Name" with my friends, and it turned out that there are still a lot of people going to the cinema to watch movies, and the three-story theater-style projection hall is full! It seems that Lao Liu's appeal is still quite big, plus Lao Li and Xiao Jin, almost including audiences of all ages, have to obey. After watching the film, my friends liked it very much, but my feeling was average, because many of the plots felt far-fetched, and I learned later that it was another film that was cut, no wonder some places were uncomfortable.
The most outstanding part of "Famous Name" is Li Lianjie's performance, which can be described as reborn. I have always thought that Jet Li's performances are always those moves, always a loyal and good man, always a righteous and lingering chivalrous person. But here, I saw a different Jet Li, even, I didn't see Jet Li, I only saw a lively Pang Qingyun, a selfish careerist, a big brother who fell in love with his uncle and sister-in-law, a man who ignored the original investment The executioner who personally sent his brother to the guillotine. It has to be said that Jet Li was successful in "Famous Name", not only earning a lot of money, but also winning the title of a powerful actor.
"Famous Name" is a very old-fashioned story of "Taoyuan Three Knots". However, I admire Chen Kexin's skills, not only telling the story of this man very well, but also the war scenes of Cold Weapons are also very bloody. Spray Zhang. I don't want to say much about the story. The so-called brotherhood and integrity are nothing more than a storyteller's draft. I also don't believe in submitting a certificate, it's just a form, but I believe in people, and I believe in the person I trust. This is far more reliable than burning a few incense sticks and kowtowing a few heads.
A few words about the deleted scene.
It is said that one of the deleted scenes turned out to be the process of accepting a certificate. The actual process is far from being as simple and elegant as the burning incense swearing oath seen in the movie theater. This is also in line with the nature of a bandit. There is no reason why you should believe that you, a living person who crawled out of a heap of dead people, go to take the head first, commit crimes together, and then talk about brotherhood. I don't understand why the SARFT deleted this scene. If you want to avoid bloody violence, this action is far more paediatric than the cold weapon war scene that follows.
Another scene was not deleted, but a line that was tampered with "robbing money, food, and territory". This is an advertising slogan that fits the tone of bandits very well. However, at the broadcast site, everyone is talking about why it is a turf? According to the logic of the bandits and the plot of the soldiers who executed raped women by military law later, it should be the right thing to rob women. Only later did I know that the original appearance of this catchy line was indeed "grabbing money, grain, and women". A good and logical line was stunned to be harmonized into a four dissimilar sentence, which made people feel uncomfortable and tight in the throat.
Another cut is a particularly lame action. The footage is incoherent, and it jumps to another scene. How can such a poor editing be worth the expensive tickets we bought. This is an action that even laymen can understand, how can it be concealed from all beings.
Although I know how much each film has been cut before it is released, it seems that it is not as big as the action of several recent films. "Lust and Caution" is like this, everyone knows that it is inevitable that the passion scene will be cut. However, a "Famous Name" that has no profit or loss has also been cut, which is really embarrassing. When will China's film industry get back on track, and when will Chinese audiences see a movie that fully expresses the director's intentions in theaters? The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television keeps on cracking down on piracy. With such repeated cuts for no reason, how to prevent more and more audiences from going to pirated CDs?
It's a bit extreme, just say a few words casually, and you can just look at it casually.

    Knowing the people, knowing the face, but not the heart, the brothers share the same heart and cut the gold. However, everything is an illusion.

    I doubted many things such as friendship, and through the role of Pang Qingyun, I made a stinging reflection on Chinese history. Jet Li told Chen Kexin that he felt that Pang would not find San Gong, and he would go directly to He Kui from the beginning. "Li Lianjie actually knows how to survive in this embattled environment." Chen Kexin said, only then did he understand that life when people were young would really affect their judgment, and Jet Li knew Pang Qingyun better than himself.
