Chapter 286: Wonderful Matchup
The most direct feeling of Zhao Zhenghao's acting skills is, of course, Guo Ziping, who is playing with him.
Although Guo Ziping didn't see the micro-expression on Zhao Zhenghao's face when he listened to the singing, in this performance, he could clearly feel that it was not himself who controlled the scene, but Zhao Zhenghao!
This surprised Guo Ziping.
You must know that Guo Ziping is recognized as the best actor under the age of 40 in the Dragon Kingdom film and television circle!
This can be seen from the fact that he is the first actor of his generation to win the "Best Actor" trophy at the Dragon Kingdom's three major film awards.
Through communication and rehearsals before the start of filming, Guo Ziping's understanding of Zhao Zhenghao's acting skills has been repeatedly refreshed, and he has recognized him in his heart, thinking that he is one of the best actors under the age of 30 in the Dragon Kingdom film and television industry!
However, whether it is self-confidence or conceit, before this, Guo Ziping never thought that Zhao Zhenghao could be on par with himself in terms of performance, and even slightly better than himself, and took himself into the play in the performance.
Such psychological fluctuations affected Guo Ziping's performance, resulting in the next few shots and many NGs.
Zhao Zhenghao noticed Guo Ziping's state problem, and took the initiative to stop the shooting, give time, and let Guo Ziping sort out his status.
Zhao Zhenghao came to the back of the monitor, checked the performance effect of his just now through the playback, watched a few, and was quite satisfied.
Since Wang Yulan is responsible for the filming of "Infernal Affairs", there are no cutscenes of the four leading actors, and at the same time, she also has to take into account the filming of relevant shots of "Infernal Affairs 2", and she has no time to help him take charge of Zhao Zhenghao's scenes, so Ren Lan took over this responsibility and sat behind the monitor when filming Zhao Zhenghao's scenes.
Guo Ziping also came over and asked to see the replay of the performance he had just performed and check the gains and losses.
After watching a few, I was not very satisfied, especially when he was in the same picture as Zhao Zhenghao, even his own eyes involuntarily focused on Zhao Zhenghao, and his performance was completely suppressed by Zhao Zhenghao.
Guo Ziping was a little embarrassed in his heart, and he was originally worried that Zhao Zhenghao's acting skills were not up to par and he couldn't support the characters he played, which led to the collapse of this rare good movie, but now it turned out that there was a problem with his own performance, and he couldn't confront Zhao Zhenghao, and he couldn't achieve the balance of the picture.
Guo Ziping carefully studied Zhao Zhenghao's performance in the previous scenes, and after careful comparison, he found his own problem.
The reason why Guo Ziping was suppressed by Chen Yongren played by Zhao Zhenghao in the previous performance was mainly because he did not fully enter the role he played!
Looking at Zhao Zhenghao's performance, there is no shadow of "Zhao Zhenghao" on his body at all, every move, every eyebrow raised, Chen Yongren is completely integrated into the role.
On the other hand, the sense of detachment in the performance is very strong, especially in the comparison of Zhao Zhenghao, who is completely involved in the play, the sense of detachment in his performance is more and more obvious.
From the perspective of a bystander, that is, in this performance, Zhao Zhenghao played Chen Yongren, but Guo Ziping did not grasp the essence of Liu Jianming's character, and the traces of the performance were too obvious and too "Guo Ziping".
Zhao Zhenghao had already told him about this question, some time ago, Guo Ziping was arranged to go to the Xiangjiang Police Station for an internship, in order to let him enter the role as soon as possible!
Guo Ziping thinks that he has fully understood the character of Liu Jianming, and now it seems that he has not done enough.
However, there is no time now, leave it to Guo Ziping, let him further understand the character and enter the role.
Fortunately, in the opening plot, the scene is not very important, and after Guo Ziping adjusted his state, he still filmed it smoothly.
Although he himself is still not satisfied, there is no way to ask hundreds of people in the entire crew to accompany him in such cutscenes.
Moreover, after the audio-visual store scene at the beginning of the film, there is a secret meeting between Huang Zhicheng played by Wang Bangmin and Chen Yongren played by Zhao Zhenghao.
The dialogue between the two revealed Chen Yongren's true identity, not the underworld horse boy who made a deep impression when he first appeared, but the police undercover!
Zhao Zhenghao plans to spend a whole day filming this scene, and if he can't shoot it well, he will shoot it again tomorrow, and he must shoot the desired effect.
Guo Ziping can take advantage of this time to carefully study the issue of entering the play.
When Chen Yongren left the video store, he told the owner of the video store that he was going to "send the funeral", but what he said was not a lie.
Between the scenes in the video store and the secret meeting between Huang Zhicheng and Chen Yongren on the rooftop, there are several scenes flashing to a funeral car.
In the dialogue between Huang Zhicheng and Chen Yongren, Huang Zhicheng mentioned, "In the past, only me and Officer Wang knew your identity in the whole of Xiangjiang, but now that Officer Huang is dead, I am the only one who knows your identity." ”
The "Officer Wang" mentioned here is the principal of the Xiangjiang Police Academy, Huang Zhicheng went to the police academy, selected newcomers who had just been admitted to the police academy, and carried out undercover operations, it was Chen Yongren who interviewed with Officer Wang, so after Chen Yongren was expelled from the police academy in front of him, only Principal Wang and Huang Zhicheng knew his true identity.
And the funeral car flashed in the front picture is Principal Wang's (the principal of the police academy in the original version is surnamed Huang, which has been modified here).
After the secret meeting between Huang Zhicheng and Chen Yongren on the rooftop, there was also a picture of Chen Yongren in a small alley, saluting the funeral car passing by on the main road outside.
In the plot of "Infernal Affairs", although the relationship between Chen Yongren and Officer Wang, the principal of the police academy, is not narrated, and there is no description of this in the original "Infernal Affairs" 1, 2, and 3 plots, but in Zhao Zhenghao's version of "Infernal Affairs", an explanation is made for this.
At the end of the original version of "Infernal Affairs", the problem of Chen Yongren's identity restoration was explained through subtitles, and the reason given was that when the psychiatrist Li Xin'er was sorting out Principal Wang's relics, he found the retained Chen Yongren's true identity information, thus helping Chen Yongren recover his identity.
But there are some incomprehensible points in this explanation, such as: How could Li Xin'er help Principal Wang sort out the relics?
In Zhao Zhenghao's version of "Infernal Affairs", this was explained, and he arranged an identity for Li Xin'er, who was Principal Wang's niece, so that Li Xin'er helped Principal Wang sort out the relics, which made sense.
Moreover, such an identity arrangement can also explain why Huang Zhicheng arranged for Chen Yongren to go to Li Xiner's psychological clinic for psychological counseling.
In "Infernal Affairs", Li Xin'er is just a fledgling psychiatrist, who should be a few years younger than Chen Yongren, and it is likely that he has only recently obtained his degree.
If she had an uncle who was the principal of the police academy, it would all be a no-brainer!
This can also explain why Chen Yongren was able to sleep peacefully in Li Xin'er's psychological treatment room, because he knew that in his place, even if he revealed something in his dream, Li Xin'er would only ask Principal Wang of the Police Academy for verification first, and would not rashly betray him.
Chen Yongren is not a three-year-old child, doing what can be said to be the most dangerous job in the world, how can he rashly trust a person casually?
Even if he has a good impression of Li Xin'er and has intentions, it is impossible to be completely defenseless against this woman in her twenties.
Only after understanding her background and knowing that she is harmless to herself, a person like Chen Yongren, who has been dancing on the tip of a knife, will temporarily unload his guard in front of her.
Wang Bangmin really deserves to be a senior with excellent acting skills, and after understanding Zhao Zhenghao's character setting for Huang Zhicheng, he quickly came out of the misunderstanding of self-perception and integrated into the role.
His interpretation of Huang Zhicheng has one word to describe it, that is, "three points into the wood".
Standing there, he was a police veteran fritter who was as vicious as an enemy, and in order to fight crime, he did not hesitate to feed tigers with his body, and wandered on the edge of law and morality.
Only through the scene of the secret meeting with Chen Yongren on the rooftop, the character of Huang Zhicheng was completely established by Wang Bangmin, and he was not inferior to Huang Qiusheng of the original "Infernal Affairs".
An actor like Wang Bangmin, whose acting skills have reached the realm, as long as he enters the role, he will not leave any traces of performance at all.
At this point, even Zhao Zhenghao, whose acting skills have amazed everyone, is slightly inferior in comparison.
When Zhao Zhenghao plays Chen Yongren, it will make people temporarily forget his original identity and treat him as Chen Yongren, after the performance, in a blink of an eye, he will become Zhao Zhenghao again, between two different identities, free circulation.
Wang Bangmin, but in and out of the play, they all become one with Huang Zhicheng, he is Huang Zhicheng, Huang Zhicheng is him, when the identity is changed, it will not leave people with too abrupt feelings, everything is so natural.
The drama between Wang Bangmin and Zhao Zhenghao also amazed all the staff of the "Infernal Affairs" crew.
When they performed, the effect they presented was huge, there were only two of them, and when they were actually shooting, there were hundreds of people around.
However, not only when they performed, the people behind the camera seemed to be nothing, but the people who were crowded behind the camera and watched their performances suddenly had a feeling of no one else, as if Wang Bangmin and Zhao Zhenghao were only performing for themselves.
In order to make the performance emotionally coherent, Zhao Zhenghao arranged a long shot and two cameras for this scene, as if they were peeping, aimed at the two of them respectively, and in one picture, only one person showed his face.
Wang Bangmin and Zhao Zhenghao just briefly faced each other before the official start of filming, and then went directly into battle.
After the scene was finished, Wang Bangmin spoke first, "You said, how many times have you hurt people?......
In his words, he explained that the reason why Chen Yongren was injured on his hand was because he was fighting with someone, but he also injured someone, and Huang Zhicheng, as his supervisor, told him about this matter so solemnly, which shows that Chen Yongren must have injured someone very lightly.
Beat others to serious injuries, and he only suffered a small injury on his hand, which shows that Chen Yongren's combat effectiveness is still quite strong, and to get out of the underworld and dare to fight is the first point.
This also explains why Chen Yongren's undercover operation was so successful, helping Huang Zhicheng defeat one black boss after another, this time he has only been with Han Chen for three years, and he has already been able to access the deep secrets of Han Chen's gang.
Zhao Zhenghao confronted him, "Originally, it was three years, three years later, three years later, three years later, three years later, it's almost nine years, boss......"
The danger of undercover is well known, and under normal circumstances, police undercover agents have a certain period of time, or an agreed number of years, or limited to a big case, and when the time is up, the case is solved, and the identity will be restored.
But Chen Yongren, an undercover agent, because he did so well, renewed another deadline when one deadline expired, and continued to move on to the next case after one case was solved, and he did undercover for ** years.
Mixed with the social scum of the underworld all the year round, it is no wonder that Chen Yongren has slowly developed violent tendencies and needs to receive professional psychological counseling.
Wang Bangmin and Zhao Zhenghao's acting skills are against each other, and they are all in one go.
The scene that was originally prepared to be completed in one day, or even two days, was completed in only an hour, and even Wang Bangmin, who is very strict with himself, couldn't find anything that needed to be improved after watching the playback.
The reason for this result is that Zhao Zhenghao supported the character of Chen Yongren, and in the positive hard bar with Huang Zhicheng played by Wang Bangmin, his aura was strong, and he reached a balance with Wang Bangmin, neither overwhelming Wang Bangmin, nor suppressing Wang Bangmin, and the performance was carried out just right.
After filming some cutscenes of two more people, it was still early, although today's shooting task has been completed, but the crew's stall has been spread out here, and it can't be put away like this, wasting most of the next half of the day's time in vain.
As a result, some scenes that were originally scheduled for the back were temporarily advanced.
In order to reduce the trouble of transitioning and saving the cost of renting a shooting space, it is often necessary to concentrate on shooting scenes in one scene and then move on to the next scene.
Scenes in the same scene may be separated by a long time in a finished movie.
Zhao Zhenghao's next scene to be filmed is like this, although the previous scene and the previous scene took place on this rooftop, but in the finished movie, there were several days apart.
The continuous filming of such scenes requires very high acting skills for actors, because actors have to play two completely different states in a very short time.
In the previous scene, Huang Zhicheng and Chen Yongren's rooftop meeting, although it was secret and needed to be hidden, in fact, the current situation was not tense, because the police sent undercover agents around Han Chen, and Han Chen had not yet mastered it, and at the same time, Han Chen also planted an internal ghost in the police station, and the police did not know it.
However, in the next scene, the police and the underworld sent undercover agents to each other, and both parties have understood that the environment has changed completely differently.
