Chapter 136: Finishing (1/5)

First of all, it cannot be refuted: Andy Lau is very handsome!

When he was young, he was really handsome in various movies: a very handsome gangster, a very handsome policeman, a very handsome gambler, a very handsome corrupt official - "Heavenly Love" is a very handsome dying man, and the handsome man who really stepped on a horse has reached a new height!

What's more embarrassing is that when Andy Lau is with those real actors, he looks very unhandsome, and even a little awkward.

1983's "Home in Hong Kong" is a very in-depth movie, showing the life of Hong Kong's little people through several characters around the young people played by Andy Lau.

In front of a group of professional actors, Andy Lau is like an outsider.

This movie doesn't have a lot of attention, so it's "The True Story of A Fei"!

In a circle of acting schools, Andy Lau's existence seems out of place...

In fact, after 95 years, Andy Lau's market value was once threatened by Zheng Yimian, who had the "Crazy Boy" series as the foundation in those years, with a handsome image and a cheap price...

Then, Andy Lau met "Dark War", which affected his life, and Du Sir taught him to act with his heart, even if he is handsome, he must be handsome from within, not just from the surface.

He also won his first actor for "Dark War" --- Best Actor at the 19th Hong Kong Film Awards.

Strength is also beginning to be recognized.

However, he is very unstable, and taking too many plays is his biggest problem, a few plays a year, except for the movie that he used his mind to, the other plays are simply instinctive performances, and there are no bright spots.

"Disciple" and "Casting a Name" are very good, but other works are really a bit out of reach, especially "No Thieves in the World", which was really blown out by Uncle Ge...

"Rescue Mr. Wu", in fact, he was also crushed the whole time...

What we often call "acting" is divided into two levels:

The first level: basic acting techniques, including joy, anger, sorrow, laughter, crying, and shouting, which is the professional skill that an actor should have.

This is no problem, nonsense, Lao Liu has been acting for decades - Brother Huanxi once said: No matter how bad an actor has been acting for decades, it will be!

The second is to lead the audience into empathy and empathy...

This one is a bit worse...

When the script is good, his technique can complete the dramatic tension well, but once the script is not good, or when he encounters a higher-end performance, he is overshadowed.

He likes "Rescue Mr. Wu" very much, and Mr. Wu in the script is based on him, so he really wants to...

For the sake of effect, he really wanted to communicate with Wu Ruofu, who really experienced being kidnapped.

Here's the question, Wu Ruofu's kidnapping experience... There is no drama, he is very calm from beginning to end, he said that he has been a soldier for a few years, at first he thought about paying the money and leaving, and then he was told by his little fans that he would definitely die, and then he calmly waited for death...

It can also be seen from the documentary that he was rescued, and his expression was very calm.

Some people may really just be Tarzan collapsed and the color remains the same!

What experience did you ask him for?

Lu Xiaoran told him so, and Andy Lau listened...

He really listened to the director's words, and he didn't say anything about his professional ethics, Lu Xiaoran temporarily said a slap to add a little drama, he immediately agreed, and took several slaps from Fu Dalong - Fu Dalong was immersed in the role, and he really gave a ruthless hand, after a slap, it was visible to the naked eye that Andy Lau's face was a little red and swollen...

Not only that, but in the end, Brother Cang ordered to strangle Mr. Wu and Xiao Dou, and he was really ruthless...

Under the camera, Andy Lau's whole face was red, his pupils were dilated, and his tongue was spit out, he was really strangled and about to hang up...

In fact, the real Wu Ruofu didn't experience this at all - the only uncomfortable thing was probably that it was too cold.

After filming this section, there is only one last scene left...

Mr. Wu went to the prison to see Huazi...

……

Basic dialogue camera shooting, two machines, whoever speaks, cuts whose face:

"Why are you here?"

"I don't know why, I just want to see you!"

"What? You want to scold me a few words to get angry, and slap me a few times?"

Andy Lau smiled, just looking at Fu Dalong, whose hands and feet were under control.

Fu Dalong suddenly sighed: "People and people's lives are really different, your life is so good!"

Andy Lau shook his head, and was about to explain, when Fu Dalong suddenly kicked the anklet angrily: "Your life is so good!"

Lu Xiaoran, who was outside the door, immediately poked his head out and looked inside...

Andy Lau waved his hand at Lu Xiaoran, finally glanced at Fu Dalong, lowered his head and put down the basket in his hand, and said, "Yes, my life is really good..."

The camera pans to the basket of apples...

When the movie really ends, there will be a bird's-eye view of the kidnapped room, and the apple tree outside the house is harvesting fruit...

Lu Xiaoran took the headset handed by the assistant director, clicked on the monitor screen, played it again, checked it carefully, and then nodded:

"Alright, it's over, it's done!"

At the scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but there was no excited shouting or celebratory applause, and everyone remained silent tacitly...

It's probably Fudalon's two consecutive 'you're so good' that touched these people a little too much...

In fact, according to Lu Xiaoran's understanding, Andy Lau said 'yes, my life is so good', he was lamenting that he was rescued...

Hanako often says, 'Your life is so good' in conversations.

Perhaps deep down in his heart, he completely denied his life and subjectively believed that fate was unfair.

Combined with his monologue when questioning Mr. Wu, combined with the real life of the people at the bottom, and the dialogue with his mother at the end of the film, it makes people feel pitiful and hateful, mourn his misfortune, and be angry with him.

If you go a little deeper, make it fatalistic - "Heaven is Dedestined", not to mention whether it can pass the trial, Lu Xiaoran himself does not believe in any destiny...

……

"Rescue Mr. Wu", many of Lu Xiaoran's good friends came to help!

The one who plays Zhang Guozheng is Zhang Guoli making a cameo;

Li Jiehui, the group of peaks skewered for free;

Li Ming made a cameo appearance as Mr. Cheng...

Too much!

Some of them were found by the actors themselves, and some were invited by Lu Xiaoran...

They are all optimistic about "Rescue Mr. Wu", because this film is different from previous police and crime films.

In general domestic police and gangster films, when the two forces of justice and evil confront, the usual performance methods are: raising a gun, kicking the door, running away, knocking down, retorting, don't move, take away, the bandits only escape, and the police only chase.

Kidnappers and hostages, the usual expressions are: Hmm, don't bmm, you step on the horse and shut up, hmm, you step on the horse to be honest, hmm, the kidnappers are vicious, the hostages cry and call their mothers...

This is not the case with "Rescue Mr. Wu".

These hypocritical episodes can be saved, and more emphasis is placed on the dialogue between police, bandits, and hostages.

The police and the bandits have known each other for a long time, and after meeting, there is no shortage of gags, complimenting each other, and there are fans of the hostages among the kidnappers, everyone plays cards, chats about movies, and sings.

The dark humor created by this ingenious character setting supports the whole movie, which is a highlight of the same genre.

Actors can distinguish the quality of a work, "Rescue Mr. Wu", the script is very ingenious!

At the finale banquet, Lu Xiaoran took out a stack of envelopes handed to him by Tangtang and gave them to every actor who participated in the performance according to the name marked on the envelope.

It is filled with very delicate star films, and there is also a passage written to them by Lu Xiaoran, the representative of Tangtang.

Probably thanks to their participation in the filming of this film or something...

Originally, Tangtang wanted Lu Xiaoran to write it automatically, so that the sincerity was more sufficient, Lu Xiaoran didn't have time, and he didn't think it was necessary to do this.

It's not that I didn't give money!

Tangtang felt that this was a way to maintain contacts, so he looked up a bunch of model articles on the Internet, consulted Zhong Lifang by the way, and then stayed up for several nights...

She wants to be a good helper.
