Chapter 288: Cameo starring

Zhao Zhenghao's performance is as amazing as ever, and the display of this eye acting skill has achieved enough results in one time.

Wang Bangmin, Wu Hai, and Guo Ziping, who watched Zhao Zhenghao's performance behind the monitor, also praised Zhao Zhenghao's wonderful performance.

Wang Bangmin also jokingly patted Guo Ziping's shoulder and said to him, "Ziping, how is it, feel the pressure!"

Guo Ziping and Zhao Zhenghao are the two male protagonists of this "Infernal Affairs", and now Zhao Zhenghao has shown acting skills that are enough to compete for the three major film awards ceremonies in the Dragon Kingdom, Guo Ziping, who already has a "Golden Goblet Award" actor trophy in hand, will perform in the back, if he can't compete with Zhao Zhenghao's performance, then he will be left behind the title of "the first actor under the age of 40" in the Dragon Kingdom film and television circle.

However, Zhao Zhenghao himself was still a little dissatisfied with his first performance, so he took the initiative to ask for two more shots before he achieved satisfactory results.

In the next few days, the crew concentrated on filming Zhao Zhenghao's scenes, except for the highlight of the film's direct dialogue with Guo Ziping, all other personal scenes were filmed.

Among them, there are three scenes that need to be mentioned.

One scene is before Chen Yongren and Huang Zhicheng meet on the rooftop for the second time, they meet their ex-girlfriend on the road.

The scene between Chen Yongren and his ex-girlfriend is described in more detail in "Infernal Affairs 2", and in "Infernal Affairs", there is only this scene, which looks headless and tailless, and seems to have nothing to do with the content of the whole film.

When Zhao Zhenghao decided to film "Infernal Affairs", he thought about deleting this scene, but after careful consideration, he decided to keep it.

Chen Yongren's final ending in "Infernal Affairs" is death, which is both a relief for him and too cruel.

In the original version of "Infernal Affairs", the reason why he and his ex-girlfriend met by chance was added out of thin air, Zhao Zhenghao's own analysis was that the director of the original version wanted to take over this scene and add a note to Chen Yongren's final fate.

When Chen Yongren and his ex-girlfriend met by chance, there was a little girl of five or six years old next to his ex-girlfriend, and his ex-girlfriend told him that it was her daughter, who was now five years old.

Chen Yongren broke up with his ex-girlfriend seven years ago, if this little girl is only five years old now, then it has nothing to do with Chen Yongren.

However, after Chen Yongren and his ex-girlfriend separated, the conversation between the little girl and his ex-girlfriend can know that the age of the little girl is not five years old, but six years old!

In this way, this little girl is related to Chen Yongren, and it is very likely that she is his child!

When Chen Yongren broke up with his ex-girlfriend, his ex-girlfriend was already pregnant, and a few months later, the child was born, and now he is six years old, which is very reasonable.

In the film, although the relationship between Chen Yongren and this little girl is not directly explained, the implication should be like this.

Therefore, although Chen Yongren ended in death in "Infernal Affairs", he still has a bloodline in this world.

This can be regarded as a kind of favor from God!

In order to film this scene well, Zhao Zhenghao specially invited Yu Yabin to make a cameo appearance as Chen Yongren's ex-girlfriend.

Yu Yabin is now pregnant, she has been pregnant for nearly five months, the dangerous period of early pregnancy has passed, and her state is very stable.

Although her personality is quiet, the nature of her work in the past few years has made her accustomed to the life of running around the country to a certain extent, and now she is suddenly idle, and she has been in one place for several months, feeling a little bored.

Zhao Zhenghao invited her to come over for a cameo, which can be regarded as killing three birds with one stone, not only allowing Yu Yabin to change the environment, relieve the boredom, but also allow the two to reunite for a short time and comfort the lovesickness, and the last one is that Yu Yabin's cameo can be regarded as adding a highlight to "Infernal Affairs", and it also has an additional explosive point when promoting.

The difficulty of this scene is not very high, Chen Yongren and his ex-girlfriend have broken up for six or seven years, although the relationship was very good, but after such a long time, no matter how deep the relationship is, it has become weaker, if there is no chance encounter, Chen Yongren will forget her.

Therefore, after the chance encounter, in the process of a brief conversation with his ex-girlfriend, Chen Yongren's performance was relatively indifferent, knowing that he couldn't give her the life she wanted, he completely let go of his hand and wished her happiness.

In fact, this scene requires a higher level of acting skills from Chen Yongren's ex-girlfriend, it is best to show the panic and composure of seeing Chen Yongren again, when saying to Chen Yongren "I'm already married", it is best to dodge and avoid it in my eyes, and when explaining the age of the little girl to Chen Yongren, it is best to show some panic and cover-up.

In the original version of "Infernal Affairs", the person who plays Chen Yongren's ex-girlfriend is Xiao Yaxuan, who was born as a singer and starred in a cross-border role, she has no acting skills at all, and her performance in this scene can only be described by the words "a mess".

Afterwards, when Xiao Yaxuan recalled this scene, she revealed her psychological process during filming, "I was a newcomer at the time, acting in a movie for the first time, and the one who played was Liang Chaowei, who was nervous to death, and I didn't dare to look at his eyes when filming......"

Yu Yabin is also a singer and starred in cross-border performances, but her acting skills are better than Xiao Yaxuan, and she has such a relationship with Zhao Zhenghao, there is no problem of "not daring to look at his eyes".

Although, during the filming, I was a little shocked that Zhao Zhenghao was in a completely different state from usual after entering the play, but after several NG adjustments, I still filmed this scene smoothly.

Although the performance did not reach the realm of perfection, it was enough for such an idle cutscene.

The other two scenes that need to be mentioned in particular are the rivalry between Chen Yongren and Li Xin'er.

Li Xin'er, and Liu Jianming's girlfriend Marry, are the only two female characters among the main characters in the entire "Infernal Affairs", and they can be called heroines.

However, in fact, Li Xiner only has three scenes in the entire film, two of which were during Chen Yongren's lifetime and one after Chen Yongren's death.

These two scenes are the two scenes of Chen Yongren before his death.

The first scene is about Chen Yongren taking the opportunity of coming to Li Xin'er's psychological clinic for psychological counseling, sleeping without any worries, and after waking up, he had a few conversations with Li Xin'er.

At this time, Chen Yongren learned about Li Xin'er's background through his own means, and knew that her uncle was the principal of the police academy, so he had an inexplicable sense of trust in her and a certain amount of good impression.

Because he knew that his psychological counseling treatment was about to end, but at this time, there was already some inexplicable sense of dependence on Li Xin'er's psychological treatment room, Chen Yongren took the initiative to ask for an extension of the psychological counseling period, and said that he dreamed of Li Xin'er and teased her.

In the end, he may think that his undercover mission is about to be completed, and he will soon recover his identity, so he tentatively revealed his true identity to Li Xin'er and said to her, "Actually, I am a policeman." ”

Li Xin'er didn't believe his words, her face was full of "You're kidding", and finally replied, "Me too!"

Such a scene does not have high requirements for acting skills, so Zhao Zhenghao called Feng Xiaojing over to play Li Xin'er.

At this time, Feng Xiaojing has finished the filming of the literary film in which she played the heroine, and through that shooting, her acting skills have been honed to a certain extent and improved a lot, playing Li Xin'er, there is no problem.

Feng Xiaojing was very happy to be able to play against Zhao Zhenghao again, originally thinking that she didn't know how long she would have to wait for such an opportunity.

After learning about the starring lineup of "Infernal Affairs", Feng Xiaojing never thought that she would be able to star in this big acting film brought together by actors.

Although he has made a literary film and his acting skills have been improved to a certain extent, Feng Xiaojing does not think that he can be compared with actor-level figures such as Wang Bangmin, Wu Hai, and Guo Ziping.

After observing Zhao Zhenghao's performances several times at the filming site, Feng Xiaojing was both satisfied and discouraged.

What is satisfying is that Zhao Zhenghao deserves to be her idol, and his achievements in the field of music are unparalleled, and now he has crossed over to the film industry, and his acting skills are also outstanding, not losing to the actor!

Discouraged, Zhao Zhenghao's growth speed is too fast, she has worked so hard, but the gap with Zhao Zhenghao has not only not been narrowed, but has been pulled farther and farther away.

In another scene, Chen Yongren defeated Han Chen's gang by cooperating with Liu Jianming after Huang Zhicheng's death, but when he returned to the police station and was about to restore his identity, he discovered Liu Jianming's secret and knew his identity, which was an undercover agent sent by Han Chen to the police force.

At this time, the only person Chen Yongren could trust was Li Xin'er, so he asked her to meet, and in her psychological treatment room, the two of them revealed their hearts and expressed their good feelings for each other.

After the confession, did anything unspeakable happen to the two of them that night, which was not described in the original version of the mainland version that was released later, but Zhao Zhenghao remembered that he had seen the original version released in Xiangjiang, with the passionate scenes of Chen Yongren and Li Xiner.

However, Zhao Zhenghao did not follow the plot of the original version of Xiangjiang, but adopted the plot of the castrated version of the mainland, and did not directly describe what happened to Chen Yongren and Li Xin'er that night, leaving room for fans to imagine.

One of the reasons why I decided this way is that I don't want to destroy the atmosphere created by the whole film, Chen Yongren can still linger with Li Xin'er overnight when he is at the end of his rope, it is not fragrant, but bloody!

Only in a popcorn movie without the slightest meaning will there be an ink on such a bloody plot.

Zhao Zhenghao wants to make "Infernal Affairs" his masterpiece, and he does not allow it to have any blood.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, the current relationship between him and Feng Xiaojing is not good for filming passion scenes, even if there is an excuse for "dedicating himself to art", it is not easy to do so.

Not to mention Feng Xiaojing's relationship with him, he has never been involved in personal affairs, let's just say Yu Yabin's current situation, Zhao Zhenghao can't add any stimulation to her at this time.

In the script, Chen Yongren and Li Xin'er, that night, ended with a hug, and the next morning, Li Xin'er did not describe Li Xin'er's disheveled situation, but directly dressed neatly, holding Chen Yongren's parting message, with a complicated expression.

After the filming of these two scenes, the crew moved to the police cemetery to shoot the last scene of the film, at the funeral held by the police force after restoring Chen Yongren's identity, Li Xiner, Chen Yongren's ex-girlfriend and daughter, all dressed in black, said goodbye to him.

Zhao Zhenghao's role came to an end, Yu Yabin and Feng Xiaojing ended their cameos and left together.

Then, the crew began to turn their focus and focus on filming Guo Ziping's scenes.

When filming Zhao Zhenghao's scene in the front, Guo Ziping has been trying to go deep into the heart of Liu Jianming's character, and from the later shooting, the effect is good.

Compared with Chen Yongren, who is undercover in the gang, Liu Jianming, who is undercover in the police force, is actually under more pressure in his heart!

Although Chen Yongren is so dangerous, once his identity is exposed, he will directly face the threat of death, but he will also be ruined, and everything he has now will come to naught.

Liu Jianming's psychological transformation in the whole film is the biggest!

The other three main characters in the film, Han Chen is full of evil and evil to the end; Huang Zhicheng has always shown that he is wise and full of confidence in eliminating Han Chen's gang; Chen Yongren, although he is in the underworld, he has always retained a bright place in his heart, he knows his identity, he is a policeman, he knows that what he is doing is punishing evil hoes, and he knows that he is still a good person in his bones.

Only Liu Jianming has been struggling between good guys and bad guys in his heart!

At this time, Liu Jianming was already in a high position in the police station and had a bright future, if he erased the secret of the undercover underworld, he was very likely to rise to the top of his career in his lifetime.

In the face of such a temptation, Liu Jianming's heart has been shaken, and he began to want to break off his identity as an undercover undercover agent, live in the light, and be a good person completely.

If you want to bring this character to life thoroughly, you must fully express his complex psychological state in the performance!

It can't be interpreted through direct and intense emotional expressions, but only through micro-expressions and changes in eyes!

This is the biggest difficulty in playing the character of Liu Jianming.

Guo Ziping also learned about this by reading the script, and decided to challenge this character.

Needless to say, his acting skills, a "Golden Goblet Award" actor trophy has been able to prove it, but from the time he received the script of "Infernal Affairs", it has only been more than three months, and he was still trapped in habits in the middle, and there was a deviation in Liu Jianming's character construction, and after adjustment, the time to really enter the character's heart is even shorter.
