Chapter 445
After determining the director Yang Hao, "Infernal Affairs" also officially entered the preparatory stage.
Including team building, etc., Yang Hao has his own team that he has been working with, and he is also at the top level in the industry.
Of course, the top priority, and the most crucial, is the casting of "Infernal Affairs".
Yang Hao and Lin Xiao both knew that it was impossible for "Infernal Affairs" to cast like the previous two films "My Sassy Girlfriend" and "Iron Fist of Shame".
Because "Infernal Affairs" has too high requirements for the acting skills of actors.
In other words, the performance of the leading actor is directly related to the level of this movie.
Director Yang Hao, assistant director Chen He, producer Xiao Jie, and screenwriter Lin Xiao formed an audition jury and began to select the actors.
Although it is said that among the four people, the people of Lingxiao Pavilion occupy three seats, but in fact, the final decision-making power is still in Yang Hao's hands, which is also decided by Yang Hao before taking over the film.
In fact, this first audition, if it goes well, the two leading actors are basically decided.
However, Yang Hao is quite confident in Wang Pengfei, and they have not cooperated, but for Lin Xiao, Yang Hao is still a little suspicious.
After all, Lin Xiao's works on the big screen are few, and none of them are roles that are good at acting.
"I'm really sorry to wait for you for a long time, the traffic in Tianhai is really ......" Wang Pengfei explained with a smile, and after greeting each other, he sat down.
After a few polite words, we got to the point.
"Which role does Peng Fei plan to choose to audition?" Yang Hao asked.
"Liu Jianming!" Wang Pengfei said.
"Why Liu Jianming instead of Chen Yongren?" Yang Hao asked with some curiosity.
Although Yang Hao asked a little casually, Wang Pengfei knew that this was already the beginning of the audition, although he was the actor, but he didn't think that he could get all the roles by virtue of his name as the actor.
After thinking seriously for a moment, Wang Pengfei went through the role of Liu Jianming in his mind before he said in a deep voice: "The most of the eight hells, called Infernal, means to suffer great suffering without interruption, those who suffer from Infernal will never die, and longevity is the great catastrophe in Infernal Hell......"
"In my opinion, Liu Jianming is the character who can best embody the three words 'Infernal Affairs'. ”
He was born in the underworld, in order to provide intelligence to the underworld, he went to work as a policeman, and during his time as a policeman, he had a bumper harvest in his career and love, and lived a rich life that ordinary people envied. He has unconsciously recognized himself as a policeman, but the fact is that as a member of the underworld, he has to provide information for the underworld, in Liu Jianming's subconscious, his normal identity is a comfortable and happy police life, but in reality he has to face the pressure of the dual role of the inner ghost and the police. ”
If he wants to be happy, he must strike a balance between these two roles, so as to protect himself from harm and protect his existing life. ”
But at the same time, he is a very poor person, because he likes to be the person he becomes, he likes to live a life, everything is based on the premise of serving the underworld and betraying the identity he likes. ”
Every time he solves a case and arrests everyone, he seems to be righteous, but in fact, he knows in his heart that he is not a good person, and the identity he has always wanted to keep is a good person. ”
"He wants to be a good person, but he has been a bad person for a long time, so does he still have a chance to become a good person? ”
"When he was undercover in the police station and doing all kinds of bad things, everyone thought he was a good person, but when he told others that he wanted to be a good person, no one gave him a chance. ”
"When he first came out to mix, following Han Chen, it can be said that he was able to have this identity as a policeman, all of which were given by Han Chen, he entered the police academy as a policeman, and gradually began to climb up, he was able to do this, and he was able to get out of the position more easily than others, also because of Han Chen, but he got bigger and bigger, and even after killing Han Chen, Liu Jianming could no longer bear the fact that he was still a bad person. ”
On the one hand, he needs to wash his bottom for his own safety, on the other hand, from a deeper heart, Liu Jianming also realized that he was only a good person on the surface at best, he was obviously unwilling, so he wanted to jump out of this infernal hell, but the more he wanted to get out, the deeper he sank, and the more he wanted to get closer to the real good people, the farther away he was, because in the process of working in this direction, what he did made him farther away from good people. ”
"Therefore he is undoubtedly the deepest and most inextricable ...... in the Infernal Hell."
Obviously, Wang Pengfei has put a lot of thought into the role of Liu Jianming, otherwise, his understanding of this role would not be so profound.
"I understand it very well, it seems that you have indeed put in a lot of effort, so Lin Xiao, as the screenwriter of "Infernal Affairs", is also the author of the two characters of Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren, what do you think is the difference between Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming?"
Yang Hao suddenly changed his words, looked at Lin Xiao and said with a smile.
Wang Pengfei also looked at Lin Xiao with some surprise.
He was a little puzzled, why at this time, Yang Hao suddenly asked about Lin Xiaolai.
"In fact, in my opinion, Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming, there is no one who can better embody the words 'Infernal Affairs'. ”
"Chen Yongren has two women around him, and he has always told them the truth, but they can't be sure if he is telling the truth until he dies. ”
"IF THEY BELIEVED IT, MAY NOT HAVE LEFT HIM WITH HIS DAUGHTER AND FOLLOWED SOMEONE ELSE, AND LI XIN'ER WOULD NOT HAVE ANSWERED 'ME TOO' WHEN SHE SAID, 'ACTUALLY, I AM A POLICEMAN'. ’”
Compared with Liu Jianming, Liu Jianming appeared as a bad guy from the beginning, and he hoped that he would become a good guy because he had already liked this kind of life and liked this identity. ”
But neither the police, Chen Yongren, nor the underworld allowed Liu Jianming to become a really good person, or that he could never become the person he wanted to be. ”
"What about Chen Yongren? On the contrary to Liu Jianming, his identity, both of them are lonely, Liu Jianming is lonely in the police station, in the police system, because he can't trust anyone, because he is undercover. ”
"Even he can't trust his 'own people' on the underworld's side, so he's alone. ”
"Chen Yongren was different at the beginning, Chen Yongren at the beginning, there was still Huang Zhicheng who knew his true identity, but when Huang Zhicheng passed away in front of him, Chen Yongren also became a lonely person. ”
"Even if he is stupid and strong without any malice towards Chen Yongren, but before he died, Chen Yongren was still in a defensive state against him, in the underworld system, he was alone, he couldn't trust anyone......"
