Chapter 289: Finished
At the beginning of the filming of Zhao Zhenghao's version of "Infernal Affairs", when the two leading actors of the film met in an unexpected scene in the video store, Guo Ziping had not yet fully entered the play, and when he was performing, he was suppressed by Zhao Zhenghao, and the rhythm of the performance was completely taken away by Zhao Zhenghao.
Now, after this period of adjustment, Guo Ziping has solved the problem of entering the play, mastered the essence of Liu Jianming's character, and then filmed, it seems to be much more free.
Guo Ziping entered the play, Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai's performances did not need to worry, and the other supporting roles of the crew were all experienced and powerful with good acting skills, which made the filming progress of the crew far exceed expectations.
In fact, when filming Zhao Zhenghao's personal scene in the front, the filming progress of the crew was also able to advance, but due to Zhao Zhenghao's excellence, he was very strict with himself, even Ren Lan, and even Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai thought that there was nothing wrong with his performance, and he was not at ease, so he took the initiative to ask for two more shots.
If you are ruthless enough to yourself, you can't do this with Guo Ziping, Wang Bangmin, and Wu Hai, although a few people who have been fully involved in filming have no opinion on shooting a few more, and changing the way of performance may have a different effect.
However, when their performance has reached or even exceeded their own requirements, Zhao Zhenghao can't open his mouth if he wants to satisfy their desire to perform.
The originally scheduled three-month filming period, with the mutual promotion of several acting masters who were stimulated with a strong desire to perform and stimulated each other to produce the best performance effect, it only took one month to complete the filming of eighty percent of the scenes.
The rest are a few highlights of the whole film.
First of all, there are two group scenes, these two scenes are the only two scenes in the film in which the four main characters appear at the same time.
Although these two scenes were filmed in two different scenes, they have a direct relationship with each other.
In the first scene, it happened in the stronghold of Han Chen's secret transaction, and the police and Han Chen, because each side planted undercover agents within the other team, made this cat-and-mouse battle finally fall into a situation of defeat.
Because of Chen Yongren's secret communication, the police found out the location of Han Chen's transaction, but because Liu Jianming told Han Chen, they were only one step away from being able to get all the stolen goods.
Due to insufficient evidence, the police failed to crucify Han Chen this time, and missed a good opportunity; although Han Chen was not caught by the police with incriminating evidence, he lost a large number of goods that were about to arrive, and suffered heavy losses.
The first scene happened after Huang Zhicheng led the team and rushed into Han Hanchen's trading place, Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren, after an unexpected encounter in the video store a few days ago, met for the second time, and it was under such circumstances that they were clear about each other's apparent identities.
The second scene happened in the detention room in the police station, because the police failed to get all the stolen goods, Han Chen could not be convicted, so even in the police station, Han Chen behaved very arrogantly, was detained, and ordered takeout, eating and drinking as if no one was around.
Then, Huang Zhicheng led the police officers in and confronted Han Chen, at this time, both sides knew that each other was inside each other, and the situation of undercover agents was inserted.
Huang Zhicheng behaved as much as ever, and Han Chen also behaved quite arrogantly, revealing the personalities of the two people.
This scene, although it is the convergence of the four main characters in the film, the main shots are on Huang Zhicheng played by Wang Bangmin, Han Chen played by Wu Hai, Chen Yongren played by Zhao Zhenghao, and Liu Jianming played by Guo Ziping.
Although the weight of this scene is very high and the difficulty of the performance is high enough, there is no problem for actors like Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai whose acting skills have reached the realm, and the only few NGs are because of problems with the group performances next to them, and their performances, every time, can be used as a textbook for analysis.
After these two major scenes are completed, all that remains is the direct confrontation between Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming, the two leading actors.
These scenes are divided into three scenes, one is in the police station, through the cooperation of two people, the Han Chen gang was destroyed, Chen Yongren came to the police station, and waited until his identity was restored, but when Liu Jianming went to unlock his information, on Liu Jianming's desk, he found evidence that Liu Jianming was Han Chen's undercover agent in the police force.
This scene is not very difficult, because when Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming had a direct conversation, they were in a relaxed mood, Chen Yongren was relaxed because he finally got rid of his undercover identity and became a policeman in a dignified manner; Liu Jianming was relaxed because he killed Han Chen with his own hands, and he thought that he had finally been liberated and could really be a good person.
The second scene takes place on the rooftop, after Chen Yongren discovered Liu Jianming's true identity, he asked him to meet on the rooftop, which produced Zhao Zhenghao's previous life, one of the most classic scenes in the history of Xiangjiang films.
On the empty rooftop, the sun is shining, the sky is cloudless, Chen Yongren, who has been deleted by Liu Jianming, whose real identity may never be known again, handcuffed Liu Jianming, who is bright and upright on the surface, as a policeman, and the two of them stand face to face, Chen Yongren, who is a gangster on the surface and an actual policeman, and points a gun at Liu Jianming, who is a policeman on the surface but is actually a gangster.
In this scene, at the highest @tide of the whole "Infernal Affairs", Zhao Zhenghao and Guo Ziping, with their outstanding acting skills, made this scene achieve a perfect effect.
Guo Ziping, who entered the play, formed a balance in the situation with Zhao Zhenghao this time, and carried the characters, neither being overwhelmed by Zhao Zhenghao nor suppressing Zhao Zhenghao.
Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai, who were watching this scene behind the monitor, nodded frequently at the performances of Guo Ziping and Zhao Zhenghao, and suddenly had a sense of "terrible in the future"!
Guo Ziping is not yet 40 years old, and Zhao Zhenghao has just passed his 30th birthday, and he already has such acting skills!
Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai both think that they are also people with a bit of talent in acting, and they are hard enough to study acting skills, but compared with Guo Ziping and Zhao Zhenghao, they are still a little inadequate.
Guo Ziping said that after all, he has been in the film and television industry of the Dragon Kingdom for more than ten years, and he has today's strength and achievements step by step.
Although it has been ten years since his debut, in the first seven or eight years, he was lackluster in terms of performance, and it was only in the last two or three years that he really emerged in performance.
What's more important is his age, he has only just turned thirty years old!
Under normal circumstances, the maturity period of an actor's performance is around 40 years old, which is also the reason why the average age of the three major film award ceremonies in Dragon Country is over 40 years old.
Guo Ziping was able to win the first "Golden Goblet Award" actor trophy at the age of thirty-seven, and he has been recognized as an acting genius in the circle.
Now, Zhao Zhenghao, who has just turned 30 years old, has been able to compete head-on with Guo Ziping in terms of acting skills, and he will not fall behind, how should he be evaluated?
Performance, like any other category, is a combination of talent and effort, where talent is the foundation, and the degree of effort determines how far you can go.
Of course, in any industry, there is no shortage of talented and talented people, and the "Best Actor" of the three major film awards ceremonies in the Dragon Kingdom has also been awarded to people in their thirties or even in their twenties.
However, those people basically got a suitable role, played a character, and some of their own characteristics fit, in one term, they have achieved "acting in their true colors", if you want to say how superb their acting skills are, it is really not possible.
Most of those people quickly disappear after becoming famous and masterpiece, because it is difficult to be lucky enough to get a second chance to "star in their true colors".
Chen Yongren played by Zhao Zhenghao in "Infernal Affairs" does not belong to this situation, Zhao Zhenghao's personal experience does not overlap with Chen Yongren at all - this is of course on the surface.
In the eyes of Wang Bangmin, Wu Hai and others, Zhao Zhenghao's ability to interpret the role of Chen Yongren to such a deep extent is completely due to his acting skills.
Although they have not yet seen the finished film of "Infernal Affairs", they have already had a very deep understanding of the quality of this film only through their understanding during the filming.
The two of them also reached a consensus on Zhao Zhenghao's performance in this film, believing that they have reached the standard of being shortlisted for the "Best Actor" competition at the Dragon Country Three Film Awards Ceremony!
As seniors in the film industry of the Dragon Kingdom, Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai, who have been mixed for nearly 30 years, know some of the unspoken rules in the circle well, and they themselves are also the beneficiaries of this set of unspoken rules, and later automatically transformed into supporters of this set of unspoken rules.
However, in the face of "Infernal Affairs" and Zhao Zhenghao's performance, they had the idea of breaking this set of unspoken rules - if the old guys in the organizing committee of the three major film awards ceremonies in the Dragon Kingdom uphold the prejudice against Zhao Zhenghao's singer background, idol debut, and cross-border appearance, and cannot give "Infernal Affairs" and Zhao Zhenghao fair treatment, then they will use their influence to fight for "Infernal Affairs" and Zhao Zhenghao!
Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai, in recent years, have received many invitations from the Organizing Committee of the Dragon Kingdom Three Major Film Awards Ceremony, inviting them to serve as judges and make corresponding contributions to the achievement of their Dragon Kingdom Three Major Film Award Ceremony.
Although they are now about to reach the year of knowing their destiny, they are still in the golden period of their careers, and they are constantly making film appointments, but in order to do their part for the development of the Dragon Kingdom's film industry, they still squeeze out time in their busy schedules and accept one or two invitations.
When the film awards ceremony was held, the people who could attend were all glamorous, those who were nominated for awards, and they were full of ambition, and when the awards were awarded, several families were happy and some were sad.
However, in the selection process of the award, it is quite boring, especially when there is a disagreement, it is common to be noisy and blushing and breaking up!
Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai are not the kind of transactional people, and it is difficult to adapt to the endless meetings, discussions, and quarrels in the award selection process, and they have already decided that they will not accept similar invitations again.
Now, in order to escort "Infernal Affairs" and Zhao Zhenghao, he decided to suffer again.
Guo Ziping and Zhao Zhenghao are both acting online, and the supporting roles for them are also stimulated by them, and their acting skills exploded, so that the last few major scenes were filmed very smoothly.
When the last shot of the whole film was completed, the original three-month shooting period was only two months later!
An important reason for this situation is that "Infernal Affairs" is nominally a police movie, but there are almost no big scenes, and the only few arrest scenes are also relatively restrained, and no car chases are staged.
This movie, with more ink spots, is placed on several main characters, especially the two male protagonists, and uses a lot of close-ups to show the inner struggles and changes of the two male protagonists when they are trapped in the "Infernal Hell".
The inner drama is the most difficult and the best to film.
The difficulty in filming is that the requirements for the actor's acting skills are too high, and it is not just just someone who can clearly convey the complex emotions in his heart by pulling the corners of his mouth, moving his face, and squinting his eyes.
A good shot lies in the fact that as long as the selected actors are capable enough, their acting skills are online, and they enter the role - that is, they enter the play, there are no other problems.
Unlike those drag racing scenes and blasting scenes, you have to rehearse over and over again before filming, and if there is a little problem during the filming, half a day or a day of time will be wasted.
After all the scenes of "Infernal Affairs" were filmed, the crew was not disbanded on the spot, but was merged into the crew of "Infernal Affairs 2", which was still being filmed.
When Zhao Zhenghao was filming "Infernal Affairs", Wang Yulan was filming "Infernal Affairs 2" at the same time, filming other people's scenes first, and then focusing on filming their scenes when Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai finished their scenes.
As for Zhao Zhenghao and Guo Ziping, they will also appear as cameos in "Infernal Affairs 2".
Guo Ziping only had a few shots in "Infernal Affairs 2", and the filming was quickly completed, ending all the filming work and saying goodbye to the crew.
As a representative of the Mesozoic actors with the most box office appeal in the Dragon Kingdom film industry, Guo Ziping has only been able to stay with his family for more than ten days a year, which is definitely not just talk, but a fact.
"Infernal Affairs" was completed ahead of schedule, which has an additional benefit for Guo Ziping, that is, he has more than 20 days out of thin air, and he can finally reunite with his family and accompany his children.
After Zhao Zhenghao completed his cameo role in "Infernal Affairs 2", he did not stay in Xiangjiang and returned to the capital immediately.
Although he is nominally the producer of "Infernal Affairs 2", like Ding Duo, the great director of Xiangjiang who is named as the producer of "Infernal Affairs", he will not use this identity to interfere too much in things that should not be taken care of.
