In early December, as the time of online marketing approached the release of the movie, Gan Jing suddenly felt a wave of public opinion hype when he was teaching Ma Hammer, Li Sheng, and Yang Shiqiu to perform.

As one of the leading actors of "Infernal Affairs" that has been confirmed, Zhang Zhonghui is undoubtedly the one with the largest position in the lineup this time, he has won the best actor twice, and he has also won a domestic record at the commercial box office.

So...... This is probably his team's public opinion preparation for a comeback.

Gan Jing made a judgment in his heart.

The coffee position is big, and there are many scruples.

My dignified actor's comeback has no momentum, will it make the brand think that my value is low?

My actor's role is actually so, so, that, isn't it not conducive to the shaping of personal image?

Even if Zhang Zhonghui himself does not have such thoughts in mind, will his team, his assistants, and his agents make some normal efforts in the industry to avoid something unpleasant?

It's all very likely.

It also disrupted Gan Jing's thoughts a little.

The lineup of "Infernal Affairs" has been determined so far, Zhang Zhonghui who plays Liu Jianming, himself who plays Chen Yongren, and Lu Wei who plays Huang Zhicheng, which should all be reliable, Xu Wen, who plays the psychiatrist Li Xiner, is between reliable and unreliable, and Ma Hammer, who plays Han Chen, belongs to the unreliable one.

Cinema is a work of art that also applies to the barrel theory, and if a character with an important role makes the audience jump badly, then the work is almost a failure.

Gan Jing didn't want to promote the film before it was finished for various reasons, and only hoped to complete the film shooting smoothly and enjoy the process in a low-key manner.

Obviously, he doesn't think media exposure and hype can be enjoyed.

As the time gets closer and closer to the release of "Love Before Dawn", Zhang Zhonghui's actions are getting bigger and bigger, and this kind of large-scale exposure is not even allowed by Gan Jing, in turn, the actor team began to try to control the direction of the crew.

"Brother Gan, hello, we have an appointment for a variety show announcement here, when will the crew gather conveniently?"

"Brother Gan, hello, do you have anything to say to the media about the theme of police and bandits? For example, the practical significance of the theme of police and bandits. Would you like to do an interview? We'll arrange the reporters and the questions on our side. ”

"Brother Gan, for the setting of the script, XXXXXX......"

Several questions, different requirements, like an octopus slowly stretching out its originally curled up tentacles.

Then, Gan Jing refused without hesitation.

He can't hide, how can he go to the interview to warm up and go to the variety show announcement before the movie is finished, as for changing the plot for a certain actor, it is even more discussable.

Gan Jing was a little suspicious that Zhang Zhonghui himself knew about the operation of the team, and how far he knew, but it was not good for him to find Zhang Zhonghui in person to ask about this matter, and it was embarrassing to think about it.

So, thanks to the advancement of technology.

Gan Jing chose to use a mobile phone call to avoid possible embarrassment when meeting.

"Hey, is it Mr. Zhang Zhonghui? I am the main investor, director, screenwriter, and starring Gan Jing of "Infernal Affairs", for the current situation of the crew, I think it has not yet reached the publicity and distribution link, and the media popularity can be appropriately reduced, after all, it is risky to blow it first before the movie is filmed. ”

"In addition, if Mr. Zhang has any objections to the plot of the script, you can tell me directly, I am afraid that your assistant will misunderstand your intentions, after all, the actor's thoughts about the character are only clear to him. ”

Gan Jing couldn't see the expressions of the parties, there was no psychological burden at all, and he explained the situation frankly and straightforwardly.

From playing a role to talking about remuneration to now, Gan Jing has never seen Zhang Zhonghui himself, and there has only been a polite call on the phone, and this phone call is the second exchange between the two.

Zhang Zhonghui's voice sounded very warm, and he seemed a little surprised: "Director Gan, I like the plot of "Infernal Affairs" very much, and I have no idea of wanting to change it. Well, in terms of the media, there are some market warm-up considerations on the team, and some media friends are very concerned about me, and I will also talk to them about this. ”

"That's good, I'm looking forward to working with Mr. Zhang. ”

At the end of the call, Gan Jing was still very satisfied with Zhang Zhonghui's statement, and as for whether he instructed it, there was no need to delve into it.

Such a frank, straightforward, and unawkward communication quickly paid off.

The "harassment" that Gan Jing received at least one phone call a day was first gone, and the large-page reports in the media were also somewhat restricted, so he continued to devote himself to the storyboard work of "Infernal Affairs", and it was difficult to extricate himself.

How can a work be filmed well, and how can actors with different qualities complement each other?

It can be said that it is necessary to have understanding, to have a way, to have experience, to have confidence, but there is also a really indispensable factor that is sweat.

If you have this and that, but you don't work hard, everything is in vain.

Gan Jing knew that the most likely thing to drop the chain in the current link was the layman's hammer, so the part of his current storyboard picture was that all the plots of Han Chen appeared in the script, and it was extremely detailed.

The old horse doesn't know how to act?

No problem, drawing subtle changes in expressions allows you to practice fifty times, then point fifty times, and finally, change fifty times.

This is the most basic method that Gan Jing can make to ensure the quality of his works.

It is also the most effective method.

Different factions, performance theories, substitution and extraction, these can make an actor with a professional background ponder carefully for several years, even if Gan Jing is only targeted and Ma Hammer said that the application of the method in the role can only give him a concept and a preliminary understanding.

After all, this is different from Mojana's character Serina, who is close to "Love Before Dawn", Ma Hammer's role as a musician is a black club boss who has been in Hong Kong for many years.

Two equally laymen face completely different levels of character difficulty.

In early and mid-December, all of Gan Jing's attention was focused on Ma Hammer's Han Chen character, and he worked overtime to draw detailed storyboards for most of the plot, making a job that had never been complicated to the extreme.

On December 21st, Xu Wen, another person who plays the role of a psychiatrist, came to visit, she saw Mr. Ma Hammer for the first time after the crew determined the lineup, and also saw his interpretation of the role for the first time.

I was taken aback by this.

"Mr. Ma, your acting skills are actually good, huh?"

This sentence of heartfelt surprise is probably the best appreciation for this work.

Gan Jing and Ma Hammer smiled at each other tacitly after hearing Xu Wen's surprise.

How can it be "actually good"?

It's just sweating, drawing, practicing, and that's it.
