The set of "Infernal Affairs".

In movie shooting, Li Zhifan generally does not add drama indiscriminately, which is known to those who have followed him for a long time.

And the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy itself does not have a superfluous shot, and adding more snakes will disrupt the rhythm of the story.

Li Zhifan occasionally allows the actors to add their own dramas, anyway, the editing is in his own hands, as long as the changes are not big, there is generally no problem.

However, this time he made an exception, added drama to the role of Yang Jinrong, and even changed his nature.

During the filming, Jiang Hai, who played Yang Jinrong, became the most brilliant member of the whole crew.

This is mostly due to Jiang Hai's years of calm training, and when he became popular, he was already past the age of frivolity, so not only did he not swell, but took advantage of the situation to control the script and the main creative team more strictly.

Especially some movies that are obviously bad movies, but because there are many traffic stars who participate, the invited actors also join the group with other purposes.

Jiang Hai inadvertently mentioned when chatting with Li Zhifan before that when he got the script of "Infernal Affairs", he wanted to play the role of Chen Yongren the most.

Speaking of the reason, Jiang Hai mentioned three points.

The first is that Chen Yongren has huge flaws in his personality.

Especially in the script of the second part, it can be clearly reflected, because the death of the Ni family's family is actually indirectly harmed by Chen Yongren.

Chen Yongren is a policeman, and everything he does is just, but he often deliberately wants to prove that he is a policeman, which leads to the collapse of the Ni family.

Ni Yongxiao is actually not guilty to death, Chen Yongren has collected a lot of evidence in the past few years, which is enough to keep Ni Yongxiao for the rest of his life, but he watched Huang Sir kill Ni Yongxiao. Although Ni Yongxiao is a hey society, he has absolutely nothing to say about Chen Yongren's younger brother, Chen Yongren has a hundred opportunities to save Ni Yongxiao, but he let him be killed.

Undercover for so long in his family, except for Ni Yongxiao, the other family members are all doing the right thing, even if they want to kill their relatives for the sake of justice, but they are innocent? .

This is also the biggest reason why Chen Yongren will see a psychiatrist in the first play, many years of undercover career is not the most fundamental reason, but because of the death of the Ni family, and even after the death of the Ni family, because of "where the police duty", he has to go undercover under Han Chen, this seemingly contradictory and conflicting human nature has caused great psychological defects.

The second is that the role of Chen Yongren is very difficult to play, and it is also the most difficult role in this drama.

In Jiang Hai's opinion, although Li Zhifan is not a little white-faced little fresh meat, he is also a literary and artistic young man, and he does not have a gangster, how can people feel that he is a villain at a glance?

On the contrary, Jiang Hai has this ability, because he can shape decent villains.

But after the release of the first part of "Infernal Affairs", Jiang Hai was stunned, he didn't feel it in the crew, but he sighed again and again on the big screen, admiring Li Zhifan's plasticity and the ability of the crew's stylists.

Another difficult point is that Chen Yongren is essentially a policeman and a good person, and if he is not careful, he will be compared to the villain's acting skills, in a sense, the villain is easier to play brilliantly than the good guy, because the bad guy is easier to show exaggerated expressions, body movements, etc.

Fortunately, Li Zhifan chose Chen Guanjun to play the role of Liu Jianming, and in addition to Chen Guanjun's handsome sky, his acting skills were completely suppressed by Li Zhifan, especially his various eyes, which were enough to support a play.

Although Chen Guanjun is good enough, as a villain undercover, his acting skills are still slightly inferior.

Although Jiang Hai wanted to play Chen Yongren very much, after getting the role of Yang Jinrong and thinking about it carefully, he was even more excited, because this character is very critical and mysterious, and his identity was not clear in the script at the beginning, but Li Zhifan added the content of the drama for him, even if his identity was revealed, it directly pushed the plot to another climax.

The third part is actually divided into two scenes, the first half is the scene six months before Chen Yongren's death, although Chen Guanjun is better than when he was filming the first part because he integrated into the rhythm and the plot, especially the on-the-spot play and emotional outburst, the original version of the third part has a special scene for him, and he also acted well.

Compared with the first two films, although Li Zhifan was only responsible for the first half, he also became a supporting role for Chen Guanjun, and the role of this big supporting role is still slightly better than Chen Guanjun.

And the second half is the rivalry between Chen Guanjun, Jiang Hai and Zhou Shilei, Zhou Shilei is above the two of them as soon as he comes up, including Zhou Shilei, who also played a very heavy role in the first half of the scene, is still a superior in front of Li Zhifan and Chen Guanjun.

The remaining Chen Guanjun and Jiang Hai are comparable, because Jiang Hai's role limits his scope, and Jiang Hai's interpretation seems to be the kind of actor-level interpretation of the middle-aged policeman as the protagonist in Japanese and Korean movies.

In the original plot introduction, the description of Yeung Kam-wing is: Young Superintendent Yeung Kam-wing, with pages of great achievements, is moving towards the top of the police force at the age of less than 40.

- The term young superintendent is okay when he is less than thirty years old, but if he is less than forty years old, he can only be regarded as a young superintendent, and Jiang Hai has promoted the character image to the middle and young people, which is actually the most correct.

During the filming process, Li Zhifan actually had new ideas about the editing of "Infernal Affairs 3", and the original version felt like it was one by one, constantly flashbacking, so he would be confused.

In fact, the clue character is not clear, because the real clue character in the third part is Shen Cheng.

If you edit the third part from Shen Cheng's point of view, or according to Shen Cheng's appearance order, you won't be confused.

In the original version, because Shen Cheng was played by mainland actor Chen Daoming, and the director wanted to play a staggered board of time and space, the plot was no problem and the filming was no problem, but he was reluctant to put the focus from the Xiangjiang actor to Chen Daoming, a mainland actor, so it looked chaotic.

After all, movies are an art for the public, and naturally they must take care of all audiences.

There is actually no problem with the editing method of the original version, from an artistic point of view, it is completely Quentin's feeling, but after all, not all audiences are smart, some people can't understand it the first time, so they will directly label the movie as bad and mysterious, and they won't have the mind to watch it a second or third time.

And "Infernal Affairs" has a huge network of relationships and situations, it is not a simple story of a person committing a crime or amnesia, and it is easy to create a feeling of "tidbits collection" with flashbacks in time and space.

In addition, the biggest suspense in the third part is that Han Chen set up five undercover agents, Liu Jianming is the first and number one undercover agent, the second is Lin Guoping who was killed by Liu Jianming in the first elevator, the third is Chen Jun, the fourth is a policeman under Officer Liang, and the fifth person is ...... Didn't show up!

It should be that the original director forgot, but there is a clear hint in the third part, it is very likely to be Yang Jinrong.

Because there are two scenes in the play that already illustrate the situation.

The first scene is in the police station, Yang Jinrong's subordinate Chen Jun pointed a gun at Yang Jinrong and said: "Yang sir, we are all doing things for Brother Chen, you should help me, otherwise you will not have a good life." ”

When the camera was given to Yang Jinrong, his face was calm and unchanged, and then a gunshot rang out Yang Jinrong walked out of the conference room, but his subordinate Chen Jun died.

This shows that some of the relationship between Yang Jinrong and Han Chen, even if it is an intelligence exchange personnel arranged by the high-level, it is impossible to blatantly let a Han Chen's inner ghost know, which is enough to show that this Chen Jun has known Yang Jinrong for a long time and knows the relationship between Yang Jinrong and Han Chen, so this node of acquaintance is likely to be when Han Chen was arranged to enter the police academy as an undercover agent.

And Yang Jinrong kills without blinking, without panic and calmness to the extreme, which shows that his character is unscrupulous, even more cold-blooded and ruthless than Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming, but it also shows that he is loyal and treacherous.

There is also a scene where Liu Jianming lost control of his mind when he heard the recording played, and pointed at Yang Jinrong excitedly, saying: "He is Liu Jianming, Liu Jianming is there, why don't you arrest him!"

Schizophrenia is just that they are not normal to normal people, but in various theories, mentally ill people have their own set of logic, and the original drama designed such a scene, which is likely to imply that Yang Jinrong's identity is the same as Liu Jianming, but it is just a more intelligent kind of infernal affairs - double undercover.

So the only scene that Li Zhifan added to Yang Jinrong was that it was found that in the tape left by Han Chen, there was a different recording of Yang Jinrong - Yang Jinrong, as a senior inspector of the security department who was instructed by the police to arrange to exchange information with Han Chen, was actually inserted into the police station by Han Chen, but after the peak turned around, and was finally killed by Liu Jianming, the police senior management informed that Yang Jinrong, who died in the line of duty, was actually the same as Chen Yongren, but he did not expect to be sent back by Han Chen as a chess piece, and the high-level simply pushed the boat.

Why is Yang Jinrong's dual identity an undercover agent sent by the police?

Because the marksmanship exposes everything.

Lin Guoping killed Chen Yongren, which was a head shot.

Liu Jianming killed Yang Jinrong, and he also shot the head.

And whether Chen Yongren, Yang Jinrong or Shen Cheng shot each other, they did not hit each other in the head.

Even when Chen Yongren and Shen Cheng shot each other, one was hit in the hand and the other in the foot.

This is because they are all real policemen, and there is a lesson in the police academy that says that in the face of gangsters, it is not to kill, but to knock down, so these three people will not shoot their heads no matter what the situation, because this rule has become a conditioned reflex.

And Liu Jianming is not, he has always been a thief, and he also thinks that he is a thief in his heart, he wants to be a good person, who blocks and kills whom. This allows us to see the difference between a soldier and a thief.

And Yang Jinrong was shot by the head, like Chen Yongren, first echoed the first part, and once again proved that Liu Jianming was a thief.

Yang Jinrong took over the role of Chen Yongren in the third part, and was shot by Liu Jianming at the end, which is also the last step for Liu to fall into Infernal Affairs, revolving around the Buddhist scripture in the film: Suffering from the body will never die, and longevity is the catastrophe in the infernal hell.

In this way, the mystery of Yang Jinrong's last moment of decryption pushed the plot to a climax, followed by the final ending.

When the camera was given to Yang Jinrong, his face was calm and unchanged, and then a gunshot rang out Yang Jinrong walked out of the conference room, but his subordinate Chen Jun died.

This shows that some of the relationship between Yang Jinrong and Han Chen, even if it is an intelligence exchange personnel arranged by the high-level, it is impossible to blatantly let a Han Chen's inner ghost know, which is enough to show that this Chen Jun has known Yang Jinrong for a long time and knows the relationship between Yang Jinrong and Han Chen, so this node of acquaintance is likely to be when Han Chen was arranged to enter the police academy as an undercover agent.
