Chapter Eighty-Five: The Plot in Advance

Even if there are unsatisfactory accidents in life, the sun still rises diligently the next day, and then the warm sun shines on the earth.

Yesterday, Mu Qing sent Tao Xiaowan home, and then bought vegetables in the vegetable market near her house, and while cooking a meal for Tao Xiaowan, he also had a hearty meal together, and he was lazy to say it, although he would also make some different things, but when he was alone, he was really too lazy to make it himself.

After dinner, Mu Qing left directly after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and by the way, he was very kind to give Tao Xiaowan a long vacation for half a month, and the salary was paid as usual.

Mu Qing felt that there was really no such good boss as him in the world, although this salary was set by the company, and there was nothing for him to do, but this did not prevent him from retaining this salary in his name.

So Mu Qing brazenly took his body.

It's just that Tao Xiaowan is temporarily on vacation, so all the things on his side will be handed over to Sister Dui, and Sister Dui has a lot of things to do in the company recently, and she doesn't have much time to be busy with his affairs...... But fortunately, Mu Qing's side has not had any major matters in the recent past except for the affairs of "City of Fantasy", and there is no need for anyone to help deal with it at any time.

Another thing is that yesterday, he had already taken back the revised script of "City Lights of Psychological Crime" from Tao Xiaowan by the way.

After breakfast, Mu Qing sat down at the desk again.

In the next period of time, he may have to go to the program team of "Paradise City" to conduct a series of contacts and rehearsals, so although this seems to be a lot of time, it actually does not leave much time for him to concentrate on the role.

In this way, Mu Qing had to hurry up.

Picking up the script that had just arrived, and spreading out the notebook he had used before, Mu Qing opened the script with great interest.

When he talked to Director Xu Jizhou on the phone before, he knew that the things he had doubts about before had been completely solved in the new script.

Mu Qing is very curious about the revised script, after all, the revision of the script is closely related to the role he wants to play, so it is impossible for Mu Qing to say that he is not curious.

He still likes the role of Jiang Ya, although for the time being, he doesn't have much confidence in playing such a role, but this does not prevent him from studying carefully with enthusiasm.

It was only about half an hour, and Mu Qing quickly went through the script that he had not long had.

And the one here also showed a thoughtful expression at the moment.

The hand holding the pen lightly tapped the table, making a dull sound, and Mu Qing began to habitually talk to himself.

"So, did you advance the plot of Wei Wei's awakening...... That is to say, let Jiang Ya's character go crazy in advance, and then on the basis of such a madness, the reason for his abnormal move to kill Liao Yafan later is traceable, after all, for Jiang Ya alone, no matter what kind of feeling this has after all the things are revealed, the unchangeable reality is that Fang Mu took Wei Wei away from him, and Wei Wei's departure was devastating to Jiang Ya...... Jiang Ya killed Liao Yafan and threw it in front of Fang Mu in person, which was a malicious act of revenge......"

"It's a loss of mind in despair, a madness. ”

Mu Qing's eyes lit up a little and he wrote this sentence in his notebook.

In this way, after the logic of Jiang Ya's behavior is smooth, the mission of the villain on his body has not been discarded, and his loss of control in the play can also allow the audience to see the danger behind this so-called "hero".

The American John Rawls once stated in A Theory of Justice: "The only justification why we can tolerate one injustice is that we need to use it to avoid another, greater injustice." ”

Therefore, when the heroes of justice begin to get out of control in the eyes of the public, such "justice" can no longer be called justice, and the so-called "doing the right thing for heaven" that destroys the law is just an arbitrary "extrajudicial sanction".

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Ya's behavior seems to be wrong from beginning to end, of course, the fact is also true, Jiang Ya's wanton violation of the law is wrong, but Mu Qing can't think that such an idea is wrong when he tries to integrate himself into this role, because Jiang Ya never thinks that his persistence is wrong.

Well, this is purely a word count, but this is the case, Jiang Ya has never denied what he has done, in his opinion, the existence of City Light is reasonable, even if he was later impacted by the Wei Wei incident, Jiang Ya once questioned what he did, but in the end, he still chose to believe in himself.

Let's ignore the twists and turns for the time being, or let's talk back to the script first.

To put it simply, in fact, there is basically no change in the revised script, but one of the plots is shifted to the front, but the effect is obviously good, Mu Qing found that after reading it through, one of the plots in the script was shifted forward, and all the settings were still smooth, without any awkwardness, and at the same time, it also gave Jiang Ya a certain reason for the abnormal behavior of the character, which perfectly solved the problems existing in the role of Jiang Ya.

Before this, Jiang Ya's wife Wei Wei was rescued by the police after Jiang Ya killed Liao Yafan, but now in the revised script, Wei Wei was rescued after Erbao was injured.

In the whole work, except for the one in the court, Jiang Ya has a total of two plots of being interrogated.

The first paragraph is that after Ren Chuan was killed, the police found a computer fragment at the scene, and there was a very unique handprint on the computer fragment, at this time Fang Mu remembered the deformed hand of Erbao in Jiang Ya's house, so he urgently went to arrest Jiang Ya, but when he arrived at Jiang Ya's tropical fish shop, he found that Jiang Ya's store had an accident, and Jiang Ya and Erbao had already gone to the hospital.

Fang Mu and the police hurriedly rushed to the hospital, but found that Erbao's hand had been completely severely burned, and the evidence was gone, but Jiang Ya was still taken back to the police station for temporary interrogation.

In the original script, this was Jiang Ya's first interrogation, and in this first interrogation, except for the confrontation between Fang Mu and Jiang Ya, it was basically a matter of setting the tone, and there were not too many twists and turns.

And the second interrogation, in the original script, was after Jiang Ya killed Liao Yafan.

If according to the original setting, Jiang Ya's behavior of killing Liao Yafan and turning himself in after the murder at this time was actually to provoke Fang Mu, he wanted to force Fang Mu, the person he once looked up to, to become the light of the city and do more things that belonged to the light of the city, after all, the reason why Jiang Ya at that time was so decisive to embark on the road of the light of the city was completely influenced by Fang Mu.

Although it was a misunderstanding, the reality was like this, the beginning of Jiang Ya's distortion, and there was a certain reason for Fang Mu.

But Jiang Ya did such a thing simply to provoke Fang Mu, such a setting was completely unreasonable in Mu Qing's opinion at that time, because Jiang Ya at this time didn't know that Wei Wei was actually awake all the time.

Therefore, in his daily life, he still takes care of Wei Wei carefully, so Jiang Ya at this time will not do anything to surrender himself or lose his freedom no matter what.

Because, Wei Wei has no other relatives in this city, if something happens to him, then Wei Wei, who is paralyzed on the bed, will lose his care, so Mu Qing thinks that even if Jiang Ya kills Liao Yafan for the time being, Jiang Ya at this time will definitely not do such a thing even if he wants to provoke Fang Mu.

He can't let go of Wei Wei's care, and he can't let go.

So this is also the reason why Mu Qing couldn't deduce the plot at all because of a problem that could not be solved for a long time.

And the ingenious thing about this new script is that in the development of the plot, Wei Wei's awakening was directly adjusted to after the first interrogation, that is to say, after Erbao was injured, Fang Mu rushed into Jiang Ya's tropical fish shop with the police, and the police rescued Wei Wei at the behest of Fang Mu, and in this way, Jiang Ya's collapse appeared in the first interrogation.

re-integrate the plot, and then Jiang Ya's previous behaviors that seemed a little crazy and incomprehensible can be completely explained.

Because he is already "crazy" at this time, then for a madman, even if he does something crazy, it is common sense.

If the plot is set up like this, then Mu Qing suddenly thought that maybe by analyzing the behavior of Jiang Ya's character in flashbacks, he can see this person more clearly.

In the ending clip, when Jiang Ya was standing in the courtroom, he once said such a sentence - "I lost, he is the light of the city." ”

Well, in fact, Mu Qing at that time also didn't understand this ending, and it could even be said that he was a little angry, because, in Mu Qing's opinion, Jiang Ya was not like this, and he couldn't say such things because he was very self-conscious, so when Mu Qing read the script for the first time and saw this ending, there was always a deep sense of disobedience.

Seriously, if it weren't for the script revision, Mu Qing would have resolutely disputed this point of the ending, because, if he wanted to shoot this paragraph, he wouldn't be able to say such a line, or if he became Jiang Ya, then he wouldn't be able to say this paragraph.

Leave aside other unreasonable places for the time being, and just talk about this last line.

It just doesn't make sense.

You must know that Jiang Ya is an extremely proud person, and it can even be said that he is a little conceited, which can be perfectly reflected when he directly provokes the police, he is very confident, confident that no one will find the slightest evidence of what he does, and he will not leave anyone with a handle to arrest him, so his criminal methods are escalating more and more.

He was confident that he would not lose, and that belief in victory was deeply ingrained in his heart.

And such a character said something like "I lost, he is the light of the city" at the end of the court.

How much weight does the name "City Light" have in Jiang Ya's heart? No one needs to explain it, in all Jiang Ya's actions, this answer can be demonstrated, and he regards City Light as his own belief.

Therefore, Mu Qing believed that a proud person like Jiang Ya, even if Fang Mu's final sacrifice shook him deeply, he would not let him deny himself so easily.

The sentence "I lost" may carry some admiration for Fang Mu's personal behavior, but the phrase "he is the light of the city" Jiang Ya is absolutely unspeakable, his pride does not allow him to say such things, nor does he allow him to have such thoughts, for Jiang Ya, as long as it is something he believes in, then he will not change it easily.

This is Jiang Ya's persistence, and it also belongs to the stubbornness in his bones.

However, in the end, he just said it, and he was so indifferent.

In the setting of the original script, it is obvious that such a plot setting is completely unreasonable, because it does not conform to the setting of Jiang Ya's character, but when Mu Qing got the new script, he suddenly felt that he could change his mind slightly.

For a person whose all the important factors in life have disappeared, the so-called winning or losing is not so important anymore.

A person who has never seen the light can endure the darkness of the moment, but for a person who has experienced the darkness and re-entered the light, if you let him return to the darkness again, it is tantamount to the direct destruction of his whole person.

And when Wei Wei appeared on that screen and said that, Jiang Ya knew that he would return to the darkness again.

Moreover, Jiang Ya at that time did not bear more than this heavy impact.

The paranoid idea that he was abandoned by the world again, coupled with the wavering of his belief because of Wei Wei's performance, made Jiang Ya completely collapse at this time, and his body and mind suffered a devastating blow at the same time, in stark contrast to his calm indifference a second ago, Mu Qing believes that this scene is probably the most difficult part of his entire filming process.

That emotional twist and turn and inner struggle change must all be fully manifested at this time, and his transformation must also be the kind of performance that the audience can feel at a glance, otherwise, the behavior after this, or the behavior similar to "blackening" after this will become a little confusing.

Mu Qing marked this paragraph on the script and made a key mark.

If he didn't have adequate preparation, he wouldn't be able to perform this scene, and Mu Qing could be completely sure of this.

Rubbing his eyes, Mu Qing closed his eyes and rested for a while, then continued to analyze.

In general, although Jiang Ya has his own set of behavioral logic, in fact he has no bottom line, and his good and evil completely depend on his likes and dislikes.

Outstanding intelligence, contempt for the law, disregard for life, extreme self-...... This is a figure that can be killed but cannot be defeated.

At this time, we can't help but think, why does such an ego admit that he lost at the last moment?

With such a question, Mu Qing continued to comb through, and then he found an explanation that seemed to make some sense.

Not to understand whether he really lost, but to understand whether he was tired.

The extreme violence of the father in the young family, the medical malpractice of his wife Wei Wei after achieving happiness, the fact that his wife left after waking up, and his wife's fear of herself......

These things are subtly changing Jiang Ya.
