If you don’t act well, you will go home and have a baby [Rebirth]

"The Lone Shadow and the Lone Wolf" exploded, exploded.Compared with "The Seventh Man", it got off to a good start, and its quality was stable. The box office and word-of-mouth were all on the rise. Until the box office finally stabilized, people in the circle saw that it was almost It is impossible to have a box office record in a niche movie, and my mind is numb.

If "The Seventh Man" single-handedly increased the attendance rate of criminal investigation films in the next two years, then "The Lonely Shadow and the Lone Wolf" used its tyrannical strength to pull the criminal investigation themes that had already begun to decline. Back to a point that can be called hot.

Yet even though they've been compared, "Lone Wolf" and "The Seventh Man" are different.

"The Seventh Man" is actually more like a pure criminal investigation film than "The Lone Wolf", which revolves around investigating and solving crimes from beginning to end, but "The Lone Wolf" is not like this.It is mixed with many other things, in terms of theme and atmosphere, it is actually heavier than "The Seventh Man".

In other words, "The Seventh Man" is indeed a criminal investigation film, but it also conforms to the characteristics of some commercial films, and there are also reasons for the big hit back then.But "The Lone Wolf" is not the case. It is more about exposing a phenomenon from a small perspective, and this phenomenon is hidden under the entire prosperous society. Once it is revealed, it will be shocking——

In fact, it doesn't quite meet the criteria of a big hit, and the reason why it caused a big hit at the box office this time is that apart from Jiang Ling's excellent directing, Song Qinghan's almost superb performance, and the strict logic of the whole script As well as the sympathy it can arouse, as well as the hype that Chu Ming helped to promote, they are all indispensable.

It can be said that the explosion of "The Lone Shadow and the Lone Wolf" was an unconventional accident, but after people have watched the movie, they feel that its explosion is not difficult to understand.

"The Lone Shadow and the Lone Wolf" is a criminal investigation film, but it is even more of a realistic film. It reflects nothing but a phenomenon that people don't pay much attention to, but hates - human trafficking.

The protagonist Li Duggan is an ordinary taxi driver, but his childhood was not ordinary, or it can be said to be extraordinary.He spent his childhood and adolescence in abduction.

In the beginning, like most of his peers, he was born amidst the expectations of his parents and elders.He was healthy, a very loud little fellow who croaked from birth.The father hugged him and giggled, and the mother also smiled happily when she saw the father and son.

Their family is not rich, but it is not poor. He gradually grew up in a plain but warm family. His father was serious but loved him very much, and his mother was gentle but never condoned.He is lovely and kind.

He has a pleasant name, Xu Chengjin, which is full of the expectations of his parents.

However, this kind of happiness was broken one day when Xu Chengjin finished his class.Several powerful men stopped him on his way home.

He disappeared.

When he reappeared, his name had changed to Li Dagen, and his face still had the delicate features of his biological parents, but his vitality had been wiped out during the life of being trafficked.

He walked out of the mountains and became a taxi driver.He didn't go to junior high school, high school, or college.He reads in his free time, and he is planning a "just" thing.

He met his elementary school classmates.He has grown up very well, and his suit and leather shoes are in stark contrast to Li Dagen himself.The classmate sat in his car and spoke in a gentle and elegant manner.

He didn't recognize the driver as his missing classmate in primary school.

Li Dagen didn't say either.This paragraph is just a small episode in the movie, as if it was edited wrongly and put in a completely irrelevant clip, it seems a bit abrupt-but thinking about it again, it makes people's eyes sore and almost tears.

This section is almost entirely filmed from Li Dagen's perspective, as if Li Dagen himself led the audience, recalling his past.The background music is very calm and soothing, and Li Dagen's performance is also very indifferent, even chatting with his old classmates in a calm manner, chatting happily and recklessly.

However, the more peaceful these pictures are, the more ordinary they are. When the audience's eyes touched the traces of vicissitudes on Li Dagen's face, the sourness became stronger.

"Woo..." A low sobbing sound began to sound in the cinema.

A boy looked at his girlfriend wiping tears with her hands, her face was covered in makeup, he took out a pack of tissue and wiped it carefully for her, and wiped the sweat from the corner of his eyes for himself .

Is the air conditioner in this movie theater broken?The boy thought viciously, and rubbed his arm with a small layer of goosebumps by the way.

Fortunately, this episode ended soon, and Li Dagen returned to his peaceful life like an ancient well. He continued to drive around with passengers, until one day, he brought a pair of unusual guests.

It was a youth and a child.The child was wearing a very expensive famous brand, and the materials and styles were the most popular nowadays, while the young man was wearing a faded and torn t-shirt and wrinkled jeans, looking very unsophisticated.

The child seemed to be suffering from some kind of illness. After getting into the car, he had been languid and slept soundly on the young man's body.

"Is my eldest nephew sick?" Li Dagen asked as if he was getting closer while driving the car.

"En." The young man responded, hugging the child a little tighter.

"This kid, I can't help but toss about it the most. If I get sick, I'll spend thousands of dollars. What's wrong with your kid?" Li Dagen asked curiously.

"It's just a little illness." The young man frowned, "You drive your car well, why bother so much?"

Li Dagen was stunned for a moment, then responded with a muffled voice, and drove the car in silence.

When he arrived at the destination, the young man gave him two big bills, and walked directly into the somewhat dilapidated neighborhood with the child in his arms.

Li Dagen sat in the car, took a cigarette from the cigarette box and drank it, with a cheerful smile on his honest and simple face, as if he was sincerely happy for earning a big ticket for himself.

The following plot was a bit thrilling. Li Dagen, who had a simple and honest face before, was walking in the dirty corridor with a long water pipe in his hand, and the water pipe made a light scratching sound when it touched the ground.

He knocked on the door.The hearts of the audience were also raised.

The young man who had been in the car before appeared behind the door panel and questioned Li Dagen vigilantly.

When the audience saw this, everything seemed to be coming to an end.

"Bang!" The young man who opened the door was hit hard on the head. Li Dagen moved his body away, and after entering, he fought with another young man.

He let go of the dozen or so kidnapped children, like a hero.

Like a hidden messenger of justice in the city, he dealt with the human trafficking scum in the dark—until he was caught.

It was accidental and inevitable that he was caught.

He was caught killing a trafficker, but this person was not a real trafficker, he killed the wrong person and was caught by the police.

"Do you know you're committing a crime?"

"I know." Li Dugen replied calmly, "So I plead guilty."

He was brought to trial and sentenced to death for manslaughter.

Parents of abducted children jointly sponsored him as a guarantee, but Li Dagen refused: "I have always known that what I did was wrong. I vented my dissatisfaction with fate in the name of justice. I don't regret what I did. But I agree with the law against me."

He broke the law with his own hands, and upheld the law himself in the end.

He handed over all the information he had investigated about the trafficking group to the police, and then he died calmly.

His death caused a burst of discussion in society.Is he wrong?Of course he was wrong, and he was wrong outrageously.He obviously could have handed over those materials to the police earlier and used legal means to get those traffickers to be punished as they should, but he used his "power" and carried out a "self-judgment".Is he right?In a certain sense, he seems to be right again. He shouldn’t be in the current fate. It’s all because of the human traffickers that he has come to this point. It seems that there is nothing wrong with him venting his anger on the human traffickers——

The policeman who has been investigating this serial murder case is also the only one who went to visit Li Dagen before the execution.

He looked at Li Dagen, who was wearing a prison uniform with a calm expression behind the bars, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"There are still many children who are suffering." Li Dagen said suddenly, "If you don't want to raise a murderer like me, just go ahead and do it."

The policeman looked at him silently: "We've been doing it."

Li Dagen nodded: "I know, I'm actually too impatient."

He smiled and looked at the policeman, as if he could see the kindness and vigor of that young child from his face that had been tempered: "Can you give this person a message for me?"

He asked the police for a pen and paper, and wrote a string of addresses and names, with a sentence below——

Don't make yourself a devil because of a devil.

The policeman looked at the sentence above, folded the piece of paper, and nodded to Li Dagen.

Li Dagen is dead.

The piece of paper was also sent to the little boy by the hands of the police.

The little boy looked at the words on the paper and didn't say anything, but worked harder in his studies.

The whole country launched a vigorous campaign to eradicate human traffickers. Many trafficking groups hidden in the dark were uncovered and convicted one by one according to the law.

Fast forward more than ten years, and in front of a dilapidated tomb stood a heroic young man, wearing a police uniform, bent down and placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone.Enthusiastically angry, he put on his police cap, saluted, then turned and left.

A gust of wind blew by, stirring the petals of the flowers. The words on the tombstone were somewhat mottled, and the three big characters of Li Dagen could be vaguely recognized.

The screen goes dark.Some desolate background music rang in the ears of the audience, pulling their minds back from the plot.

The white words slowly slid across the black screen, and the audience off the court touched their chests, feeling a faint dullness in the position of their hearts—the ending in the movie seems to be very happy, but what about in reality?

Are there countless victims of trafficking who are suffering?What will happen to them?Is it a sad end to his life, or will he embark on the road of criminal revenge like Li Dagen?

In particular, the abducted women were mentioned in the movie. The tragic image of being oppressed made the female audience feel the same. When they left the movie theater, their eyes were crying like rotten peaches.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

"What do you think..." the boy said again and again, and went to line up to buy two more tickets.
