If it is the original "King of Haibian", the requirements for these two roles are not too high, the villain only needs to have some characteristics in appearance, and the role of "Big Daddy" is even more mediocre. But Xu Jing's "King of Haibian" has changed a lot, both of them have added a lot of action scenes, if they don't have a certain martial arts foundation and filming experience, I'm afraid that they will spend a lot of time training, which is inevitably a little out of place.

In fact, there is no shortage of such actors in Xiangjiang, but most of these actors have no schedules or are concentrated under the banners of several major movie giants, and they may not be allowed to film for Jiuzhou Company, who will be willing to increase the strength of the opponents of the Chinese New Year stalls?

Several people sat on the sofa in a circle, and discussed several actors in a row, but they never came up with a suitable replacement, and gradually everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere seemed more depressing for a while.

"Why do we have to stare at the selection of Xiangjiang actors? I think our mainland actors are much more reliable. Seeing that no one spoke, Han Xiaoxin pouted and said.

"Yes, Xiaoxin, when you say this, I think of a person, didn't Xu Jinjiang, who played the "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" last year, come from our mainland? The big bald head, at first glance, doesn't look like a good person, and it's the most suitable to play the villain, hehe. Wu Zheng continued.

"Well, the image and temperament are quite suitable, Lao Zhao, you can contact Mai Dangxiong Company in a while to see if you can sign him." Xu Jingdao. When Xu Jinjiang was mentioned, Xu Jing remembered that this 'ruthless character' was coming, and his image was more suitable for the role of the villain than Cheng Kui'an, but he didn't think of this earlier, but he was negligent.

"Otherwise, we will also find mainland actors for the role of 'Big Daddy', and we will save any accidents." Han Xiaoxin said again.

"It would be nice if Li Lianjie was still in Xiangjiang, the heroic role of 'Big Daddy' is quite suitable for his image." Wu Zheng sighed and said.

When it comes to heroic roles, several people naturally won't think of this mainland kung fu superstar who is popular all over Asia with "Shaolin Temple" and is regarded as a 'hero' by mainlanders.

"He doesn't know if he's in the mainland or in the United States, and he's a little young." Xu Jing thought for a moment and hesitated.

"Huh? Why don't we just invite people from the mainland to come and perform? Wu Zheng suddenly thought of something, and continued.

"We don't have a way in the mainland, and besides, is it too late?" Qin Tian has always thought about problems carefully, and as soon as Wu Zheng finished speaking, he pointed out the difficulties.

"I know a person, his name is Yu Rongguang, he filmed Xu Xiaoming's co-production movie "Kapok Robe" a few years ago, he has a certain foundation, and he also has a certain connection with Xiangjiang, we can see through Xu Xiaoming if we can contact him, it shouldn't take much time." Zhao Xiaojun said.

"Okay, you can try." Xu Jing remembered that Yu Rongguang came to Hong Kong with Zhang Yimou and Gong Li in 8.9 to shoot "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors", and his image is quite in line with the character of "Big Daddy", Xu Jing made a decision: "But at most, we will postpone fifteen days to shoot his scene, if we can't catch up, let's think about other candidates." In addition, inform the crew to prepare, we will start filming in the afternoon, and shoot my part of the scene first. ”

The character of Dave, the protagonist of the original "King Haibian", is an ordinary and ordinary person, without any superpowers, inconspicuous, just a big boy who loves fantasy and daydreams, as introduced in the film [I, nothing abnormal, nothing special. I'm not good at sports, I'm not good at math, I'm not good at playing games, I don't have a ring on my body, and I don't have anorexia, and my only superpower is that I can be almost invisible in front of girls, and I don't have many friends, and I can't be funny, and like most of my peers, I'm just alive].

The only thing special about him is that he has a sense of justice that is superior to ordinary people and the ability to dare to think and do. Even after experiencing setbacks, being chased and killed, and being hit by a car, he still firmly believes in the belief of 'King Haibian'. Even if you walk the streets looking for a lost cat, you will put on a funny 'wetsuit', and even if you are beaten by a strong person until you vomit blood, you will still be relentless to protect others.

This is just a little person with childish dreams and unrealistic, but under his firm beliefs, he shines like Lei Feng.

As the role of the theme of "anti-superhero" in the whole film, this character design could have shined, but the original "King of Haibian" has a feeling of ruining this character, so that "King Haibian" finally became only a foil to "Super Kill Girl", as a joke, it also makes the two mutually exclusive themes of "anti-superhero" and "superhero" not integrated well, making the two themes lose balance and have a feeling of incompatibility.

The reason is that the producers of the original "King Haibian" integrated too many campus farce colors into it in order to give the film a PG-13 rating in order to gain a larger market, but in the end, it failed to do so, and the film was still rated R.

The theme of 'anti-superheroes' should have been explored with a serious attitude, but the original version was undoubtedly too farcical in this part, and the tone of the film was too distinct, losing the seriousness of the subject matter, making the pattern of the film much narrower.

Xu Jing naturally did not plan to adjust the main line of 'Haibian King', but he also did not plan to express it in accordance with the style of the original version. In order to reduce the campus color of the film, Xu Jing's first thing to do was to delete Dave's two friends in the original version, after all, he had no plans to shoot "King Haibian 2".

Of course, sublimating the theme of 'anti-superheroes' is not something that can be achieved by just deleting two unimportant characters, especially Xu Jing has made a lot of upgrades on 'superheroes'.

How to make the film's 'anti-superhero' rise to the same level as 'superhero', Xu Jing's idea is to introduce the 'Zhou's nonsensical' style in the performance style.

There may be many people who think that nonsense is just a funny style, but in fact it is far from it, nonsensical language or behavior has a profound social connotation in essence, it can directly touch the essence of things through its playful, ridiculous, and cynical appearance, and it is a very serious way of expression.

For example, Zhou Xingchi's "The King of Comedy" and Kim? Kelly's "Truman's World", although they bring a lot of jokes, they are not just comedies, but they seriously explore the themes of the film in a nonsensical way.

In fact, the original "King of the Sea" also expressed the theme of 'anti-superhero' through nonsensical expression, but it lost a lot of seriousness due to the bright color and excessive slapstick color. And the introduction of 'Zhou's nonsense' can undoubtedly complement the seriousness of the film to a large extent.

For example, 'Yin Tianqiu' in "The King of Comedy", and 'Xingzai' in "Kung Fu".
