The first trailer released in 2020 approached from the perspective of public security officers. Despite the dissuasion of his father Zheng Gang, technical police officer Su Jianming rushed to the "Hongmen Banquet" of wealthy businessman Li Zhitian and watched a wild scene of Li Zhitian fooling others and entering hot pot. Subsequently, foreshadowings such as hiding corpses in the cracks of the walls, smashing people with wrenches, receiving huge amounts of money privately, and the mysterious "resources of the old man" were successively revealed. The announcement of this release reveals another part of the story's battle between good and evil. In the preview, the undercurrent of human nature confrontation behind the hot pot banquet is surging. When the "dog bastard" becomes the "local emperor" of the city, Li Zhitian tells the story of his childhood "a piece of Rice noodles meat" with a smile. During the hidden dialogue, the ruthlessness of every word makes people shudder. Some of the scenes in the trailer are even mosaic, and the audience will enter the cinema to explore after the release.
The movie "Stubborn as a Rock" is a work by Zhang Yimou that has returned to realistic themes after many years of absence. He boldly challenges contemporary urban crime themes, combines elements such as crime, human nature, and officialdom, focuses on the struggle of human nature and fairness and justice in the new era of development, and extends the complex scene of errors. The different temperament of its previous films can also be seen from the pre release trailer. The dialogue, brilliant neon lights, and intense fighting scenes, as well as the exchange of lines, have unique meanings. The visual style is different from director Zhang Yimou's previous films and has sparked heated discussions. He previously revealed in an interview, "This is a style that I have never tried before, urban, modern, and cold." In the teaser, the colorful urban neon lights in the dark tone contrast the dull and dark story background, and the modern shots replace the traditional classical composition, making people want to further explore the secrets deep in the darkness.
