In the words of director Zhang Yimou, China films need new forces. I hope everyone can see a different Jackson Yee from the movie, and see his coldness, desolation, loneliness, indifference and forbearance. The director who has always been cautious seems to be really satisfied with such an evaluation.
The Role of Jackson Yi in Man Jiang Hong
In the whole "Man Jiang Hong" incident, Sun Jun is undoubtedly a character arc. His image was positioned from the beginning, with heavy armor, rough beard and striking scars on his face. Young as he is, he obviously has been through many battles.
But the inner world of this character is always like the plot of "Man Jiang Hong", which seems simple and honest, but it is unfathomable. Sun Jun played by Jackson Yi is also the accompanying expression of this suspense line.
Yi Jackson's performance is as stable as ever. I remember when the trailer of "Man Jiang Hong" was first exposed, everyone was surprised at the subversion of the image, but also at his cruel eyes, because the role had almost nothing to do with him.
Looking back after watching the movie, the role of Sun Jun was actually very difficult to play. After all, there are too many unknowns about his identity and motivation, and there are also many clues about his emotions and limbs.
In line with the principle of no spoilers, let's not discuss whether Sun Jun's character is a card from beginning to end or a gradual change after a series of changes. However, this role is a typical "hide one's strength and bide one's time" and refined into a malicious role.
