Chapter 520: Sequel

After returning to Xiangjiang, the work of Chopsticks Pictures is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Chopsticks Pictures' team is also growing, and the crew is all ready.

Through "Infernal Affairs", many film and television and entertainment companies in Xiangjiang have seen the strength of Lin Chen and Chopsticks Pictures.

When Lin Chen was about to announce the filming of "Infernal Affairs 2", it was natural that many film and television and entertainment companies and film and television would seek cooperation.

The fire of "Infernal Affairs", when Lin Chen made a sequel, also attracted the attention of many fans.

""Infernal Affairs" is about to make a sequel, and Director Lin is powerful. ”

"Chen Yongren is dead, and without Chen Yongren, I think this sequel will definitely not be interesting. ’

"As long as it is Director Lin's movie, it will definitely support it. ”

"I really like every character in "Infernal Affairs". ”

……

When the chopsticks shadow came out to start filming "Infernal Affairs 2", it received the support and praise of many fans.

For the popularity of "Infernal Affairs", Lin Chen believes that "Infernal Affairs 2" will come naturally.

But how to shoot Chen Yongren's "Infernal Affairs" without Chen Yongren has become the focus of everyone's concern.

Chopsticks Pictures, Lin Chen finally took out the script of "Infernal Affairs 2".

In 1991, Ni Kun, the leader of the Xiangjiang gang, was killed, and among the five leaders of the Ni family, except for Han Chen, they all waited for an opportunity to betray and make trouble, but they were unexpectedly restrained by the inconspicuous second generation of the Ni family, Ni Yongxiao, without spending a single soldier.

This move aroused the vigilance of Serious Crime Inspector Huang Zhicheng, so he sent Chen Yongren, a police academy student, to participate in Ni's family for long-term undercover work.

In order to consolidate his power, Han Chen had already installed an informant Liu Jianming within the police.

Three years later, Ni Yongxiao, whose career was thriving, was determined to annihilate the five leaders in one fell swoop, but because of negligence, Han Chen became a fish that slipped through the net.

In 1997, Han Chen, who was immortal in the catastrophe, reappeared to avenge his dead colleagues. Huang Zhicheng approached him to discuss cooperation to get rid of Ni Yongxiao's friendship, but soon found that this move was a big mistake.

And Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming, who are each distressed by their embarrassing identities, are going farther and farther on the road of Infernal Affairs.

Looking at the script handed over by Lin Chen, Du Xiaoming realized that his worries were unnecessary.

Compared with "Infernal Affairs", "Infernal Affairs 2" uses a flashback.

This movie can be regarded as the past and present life of "Infernal Affairs", and the relationship between the characters and the introduction of Long Qi are all explained.

Compared with Lin Chen's strength, Lu Wei felt that such a script was completely expected.

"Mr. Lin, this is simply amazing!"

Du Xiaoming said excitedly: "Compared with "Infernal Affairs", I think this drama is more attractive. ”

"Mr. Lin, what about this staffing?"

Pan Bin asked, "Do we want to invite Liu Tianwang and Liang Qingda again?" ”

The fire of "Infernal Affairs" has also made the cooperation between Liu Tianwang and Liang Qingda deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Theoretically speaking, if the movie wants to have a better effect, it should also use Liu Tianwang and Liang Qingda.

But compared with Liu Jianming and Liang Qingda, the highlight of "Infernal Affairs 2" has been shared a lot.

The rivalry between Huang Kecheng and Han Chen is even bigger than that of Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren, so Lin Chen feels that there is no need to use Liu Tianwang and Liang Qingda.

Li Shan and Zhou Jiancheng also need to cultivate.

Lin Chen said: "I think I can use Zhou Jiancheng and Li Shan!"

Although Liu Tianwang and Liang Qingda have been removed, there are still drama-level figures such as Guo Haibin and Wang Student.

When it comes to acting, everyone is between the best of the best.

The most important thing is that Zhou Jiancheng can have more opportunities to show his face in this drama, and this drama can make Zhou Jiancheng more well-known, which can be regarded as part of Lin Chen's next layout.

On the basis of the original cast, this movie also has some new faces added.

Among them, Ni Yongxiao's role can be regarded as the key, Ni Yongxiao belongs to a role that connects the previous and the next, and this role naturally needs to be played with extremely high acting skills.

Lin Chen looked at Pan Bin.

"Is there a suitable candidate for Ni Yongxiao?"

"Mr. Lin, it seems that there is no suitable candidate for the role of Gaze. ”

After seeing Ni Yongxiao's character design, Pan Bin shook his head and said: "This is a ruthless character, there are many action scenes, and there are not many people who can meet the requirements of the supporting role." ”

"Zhang Hongjing!"

After Pan Bin had no suitable candidate, Zhang Hao said: "Mr. Lin, we can use Zhang Hongjing for this role!"

Lin Chen has cooperated with Zhang Jingjing, although he is a comedic image in "East Becomes West", but Zhang Hongjing's debut is a tough guy.

In terms of acting skills, although Zhang Hongjing is a drama-level character and an actor-level performance, Ni Yongxiao is very different from Zhang Hongjing's previous role-playing.

Ni Yongxiao is more of a spiritual character in the underworld in "Infernal Affairs 2", compared with Zhang Hongjing's tough guy role and martial arts role in the past, what stands out is more of a kind of wisdom.

Lin Chen was obviously a little hesitant.

However, thinking of the funny role of Duan Zhixing in "East Becomes West", it can be regarded as a subversion for Zhang Hongjing, so what is Ni Yongxiao?

"You go back and contact Zhang Hongjing!"

Lin Chen said: "If there is no problem on his side, you can give this role." ”

After the role of Ni Yongxiao was determined, the female role here is a Mary.

Mary is Han Chen's girlfriend, and the opponent belongs to the old drama bone Guo Haibin, which naturally also needs a powerful actor.

It can be said that Mary's assassination of Ni Kun became the fuse of the entire "Infernal Affairs 2", in the play, this is a woman who is willing to do everything for her husband.

This image is obviously not the image of a soft woman either.

Zhang Yina visited Chen Yongren's ex-girlfriend in the previous play, and this role obviously can no longer be played by Zhang Yina.

In fact, the character of Goddess Zhang Yina does not seem to conform to this image.

Lin Chen looked at Pan Bin again.

Obviously, Mary, the only female character, is very important.

"I think I can still play Jin Ming!"

As an actress in "Infernal Affairs 1", Jin Ming's role is also reasonable.

can be compared to "Infernal Affairs" 1, Lin Chen always feels that Jin Ming, who was born as a singer, plays this role almost something.

Lin Chen denied Pan Bin's opinion.

"Mr. Lin, I think we can play this role with artists from our own studio. ”

Zhang Hao said: "Our chopsticks brother media has five golden flowers. ”

With the fame of Feng Zuer, Jiang Qi, Li Xiaonan, Li Jing and Lin Jiao, the outside world has obviously compared them to the five golden flowers around Lin Chen.

It is true that this fat water should not be left in the field of outsiders, since Pan Bin can't recommend a suitable actor, Lin Chen's actor can indeed find a suitable candidate from Chopsticks Brothers Media.

In terms of acting skills, Jiang Qi and Feng Zuer obviously belong to a while, and among the two people, Feng Zuer is obviously more suitable in terms of personality.

But in terms of personality, Li Jing is obviously more suitable for this role than Feng Zuer.

Lin Chen's psychology was obviously a little hesitant.

"Let Feng Zuer play this role!"

Zhang Hao suggested: "I think Feng Zuer has more potential in acting.

Lin Chen said to Zhang Hao: "Go back, contact Feng Zuer, ask her to put away all entertainment, and book her a ticket to Xiangjiang." ”

Since the artists who use Chopsticks Brothers Media are mentioned, Lin Chen also asked the next two supporting roles to use the artists of Chopsticks Brothers Media.

Lin Chen, the role of Lu Qichang, thought of Zhang Bo, as an actor who has always been underestimated, Zhang Bo obviously needs to develop in the film and television industry.

As for Xu Weiqiang's role, Lin Chen thought of using Wang Gaofeng, who had just shined in "Blood Romance", and Lin Chen was ready to continue to strike while the iron was hot.

After gathering all the cast, Lin Chen prepared for the official start of this drama.

Compared with the opening ceremony of "Infernal Affairs 1", the opening ceremony of "Infernal Affairs 2" obviously attracted more people and fans.

On the red carpet of the opening ceremony, even Liang Qingda and Liu Tianwang, who no longer have any roles in "Infernal Affairs 2", still stand in line for "Infernal Affairs".

As for the reporters of the media in Xiangjiang, they came a little bit.

In the main creative lineup, compared to the lineup of 1, there are several fresh faces of Lin Chen's studio.

Long Qi is Feng Zuer, although he made his debut in Xiangjiang, he still attracted a lot of people's attention.

appeared in front of so many media, Zhang Bo seemed a little nervous.

Although Liu Tianwang and Liang Qingda, the two major actors, are missing, Zhang Hongjing's appearance still makes many media look forward to this drama.

"What do you think this "Infernal Affairs 2" will be filmed?"

"The first part killed Chen Yongren, without Chen Yongren, how would this rivalry be played?"

"The script of "Infernal Affairs 1" with spirit, I think this is difficult for Lin Chen. ”

"Regardless, this film is always meant to be supported. ”

……

Fans are whispering.

The media reporter pointed the camera at Lin Chen.

"Mr. Lin, what is your box office expectation for "Infernal Affairs 2"?"

"Mr. Lin, will you develop other types of Xiangjiang movies?"

"Mr. Lin, will you always develop in Xiangjiang?"

……

Compared with the sharp questions at the launch ceremony of "Infernal Affairs 1", the opening ceremony of "Infernal Affairs 2", media reporters were obviously much more polite.

Obviously, status and strength determine everything, and compared to the entire Chinese movie IP, there are indeed too many things that Xiangjiang can make.

However, Lin Chen obviously has no need to confide in front of the media, Lin Chen can use his strength to say everything.

After the start-up ceremony, "Infernal Affairs 2" was officially filmed, and compared with the shooting of 1, Lin Chen had more Lu Wei as a helper.

With the help of Lu Wei and Huang Xiaoming, Lin Chen's filming is even more powerful.

The first scene is a rivalry between Guo Haibin and Wang Student.

It is a room that is furnished as a conference room in a police station.

Before Han Chen and Huang Kecheng did not turn against each other, the two naturally had a good honeymoon period.

Looking at the scene where the light was a little bright, Lin Chen felt that something was wrong.

Han Chen and Huang Kecheng belong to two opposite opposites, and it is obviously inappropriate for the two to talk under such bright lights.

"Gaffer, dim the lights!"

Lin Chen instructed: "Go and prepare a boxed lunch again!"

One of the shots in 1 is the shot of Han Chen in the police station, Han Chen complained that he hadn't eaten here for a long time, which shows that Han Chen should have at least eaten in the police station before.

So Lin Chen decided to shoot this conversation with Han Chen's eating shots.

Student Wang and Guo Haibin quickly entered the play.

……

"Murder and arson gold belt, repair bridges and repair roads without corpses, I regret that the six shots didn't hit that kid's head, the world shouldn't be like this, life shouldn't be like this, I think you're still like a person, you're a good person, right!"

In the camera, Student Wang's slightly whining words are very consistent with the content of such lines.

I have to say that compared with 1, Huang Kecheng in 2 feels more impatient.

Guo Haibin ate and said with a natural expression: "I would rather not be a good person like you, my life was given to me by Brother Kun, if I help you deal with him, am I still a person?"

In the camera, Han Chen also started to play.

At this time, Han Chen should still be relatively pure, otherwise he would not have had this conversation with Huang Kecheng.

Guo Haibin's force is obviously a little too violent.

Lin Chen shouted in time to stop: "Uncle Guo, at this time, Han Chen's positioning is still a good person, and he is not a bad person who does everything for the sake of profit in 2. ”

Looking at Guo Haibin's hairstyle, it was still the color of 1, and Lin Chen felt that there was something wrong.

"Stylist, dye Guo Haibin's color black. ”

Lin Chen said: "In terms of makeup, there should be more sense of justice. ”

Soon this section was re-shot, and after guiding Guo Haibin to change his makeup, the picture in the lens was much more harmonious.

At the same time, Guo Haibin and Li Shan's roles gradually increased.

The next scene is the rivalry between Liu Jianming and Mary.

Feng Zuer is obviously a little excited about playing such a gangster boss.

"Director Lin, do you think the real gangster woman is really cool?"

Feng Zuer said excitedly: "I think such a woman should be very stylish." ”

Lin Chen has a different opinion, although Mary is indeed very stylish, but everything she does is to live for her husband.

One of Mary's philosophies: "Being a woman is very simple, as long as the man is good, I can do anything." It also interprets the sorrow of this woman.

However, Lin Chen obviously has no need to discourage Feng Zuer's enthusiasm, if Feng Zuer can maintain a positive mood, it will naturally be good for filming.

As for Liu Jianming at this time, he is obviously not mature in the future, and Liu Jianming at this time is also relatively simple.

When Mary can sacrifice everything for her husband, Liu Jianming can also sacrifice everything for this woman.

He has a crush on Mari, he can kill the gangster godfather Ni Kun for her, he can go undercover to the police for her, and he can assassinate the godfather Ni Yongxiao for her.

So when it comes to the scenes between the two, Zhou Jiancheng obviously needs a special look to show this relationship.

Lin Chen explained to Zhou Jiancheng.

As for the role of Mary, Lin Chen felt that it was more about Feng Zuer's understanding. This is obviously a big challenge for Feng Zuer.
