Xu Qing: The Last Rouge in "The Ring Messenger"

The National Day file is the busiest arena in the movie market. The head-to-head confrontation between American blockbusters and domestic movies is still going on, and women are also fighting secretly on the big screen with a smoky attitude. So Yang Ying in "The Promise" is chivalrous, Fan Bingbing in "Double Exposure" is confused and tangled, and "The Ring Messenger" makes Xu Qing the most gorgeous touch of rouge in the film. When talking about this character, Xu Qing herself also said: "This character is a character with emotional clues. Without her, Bruce would not go back to the past to hunt down Joseph. In other words, my character is the origin of the whole story. Without her, The whole story won't happen."
In this film with the theme of traversal, telling how the epiphany of human nature breaks through the encirclement of fate, Xu Qing has become the most critical part of the film with very few scenes. The Shanghai woman she plays is heartbreakingly beautiful, mature and without dusty taste, can put up an arrogant middle finger to Bruce Willis who has been so courteous to her, and can also do her best as a lover after becoming his wife. Although this character is like Kelly Ann Moss in "The Matrix", it is the spiritual pillar for the hero to fight for, and a theme for the sublimation or fall of love. Therefore, in just a few episodes, Xu Qing always has high hair, melancholy eyebrows, and sadness for falling in love with a killer who has arranged to leave her eventually. She is his angel, and even more so. The so-called "fighting a crown to become a beauty" means that a man changes the destiny for a woman, and even pushes the future of mankind to the direction of disaster.
The two female characters in "Loop Messenger", Xu Qing and Emily Blunt, have their own styles. If the latter is a wasteland rose, then the former is a beautiful and beautiful lily in the wind, which will be easily broken. Become the root of the hero's revenge. In this complex circular time and space, Xu Qing appears as the most perfect woman. Her goodness even makes the future male protagonist prefer to take risks with his body, and never miss the opportunity to meet with him, even in this encounter. Bring it to the utter disaster. Although Xu Qing is the style of European beauties in the film from makeup to dress, her gestures are full of the subtleties and sorrows of Oriental women, so that the drama of the hero's life entrusted to her can be convincing. It can be said that she is the culprit who destroys time and space, but she is also an innocent and pitiful infatuated woman. Therefore, Xu Qing became the highlight of "The Ring Messenger" and the eternal pain in the killer's tragic life.
Ryan Johnson, director of "Loop Messenger", was also deeply fascinated by Xu Qing and praised her for her "unassuming oriental beauty and mysterious elegance". As a result, the female actor who was initially arrogant and beautiful on the big screen, intermittently obsessed with obsession, and died like a nightingale crying at the end. This "transnational love" has thus become thrilling and heartbreaking. In fact, in this tough-tempered, brilliantly conceived science fiction film, the rivalry between Xu Qing and Bruce Willis is the most tender and affectionate part, like the sunny side of human nature, until death comes, played by Bruce Willis. The actor has completely subverted his beliefs and dealt with the gloomy life with a dark face.

    In the middle of the process, I felt that the screenwriter was about to be unable to write, but then it turned around. Xu Qing has become a big prop. Where is the sex scene of Jiaoserfu? Bruce Willis is still handsome with a double shot, but he is almost the king of bad movies. The most important thing is that the line is so good: I`m from the future, you should go to CHINA!!

    The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, but I didn’t expect it to be a completely bad film...The elements that can become a blockbuster are all given to you. The word and old cloth plus Wilde’s sister playing as a female cock is how the filming is so bad. The director actually used the way of inner monologue to read it out so much so that lame said the title of the film. Do you want to be so lame?

Looper quotes

  • Joe: Then I saw it. I saw a mom who would die for her son. A man who would kill for his wife. A boy, angry and alone. Laid out in front of him, the bad path. I saw it. And the path was a circle. Round and round. So I changed it.
