Chapter 219: Infernal Affairs and the True Colors of Heroes (Part II)
The days passed, and "Infernal Affairs" finally ushered in the day of completion.
The filming of the last scene of Infernal Affairs is very difficult, and the test is the acting skills of the actors, and even many people believe that Liang Chaowei was able to win the actor in his previous life because of the last scene.
Chen Ge suddenly felt a little pressured, and today's things didn't seem to be as smooth as expected.
In the previous life, this rooftop opera was a classic of the whole play, imitated by countless latecomers, but never surpassed.
In order to shoot this scene well, He Man, as the assistant director, also made every effort to eat nǎi, but for some reason, he filmed three times in a row, but Chen Ge stopped shouting, thinking that he didn't shoot the charm he wanted.
As the starring, screenwriter and director of this play, Chen Ge undoubtedly has a great right to speak.
There was no choice but to let the actors rest temporarily, let the crew members temporarily clear the scene, and He Man and Chen Ge discussed the following shooting plan together.
"What I want is a realm, where black and white have been completely reversed, and the identity of the characters has been completely replaced." Chen Ge said to He Man with some excitement.
He Man nodded, "I understand what you said, but patting and patting, we have done our best, but you are still not satisfied!" In He Man's view, this realm is ambiguous, invisible and intangible, so why bother to be so serious.
Chen Ge shook his head, "I don't just want to shoot a drama, but I want to shoot a story that can be passed down for a long time!" Since it is a story, then there must be a distinct and unchanging theme, and the balcony scene is the process of rendering and expanding the theme, and finally completely fermenting and brewing! ”
After Chen Ge said this, seeing that He Man still didn't agree, he beckoned to Liu Dehua, who was resting and drinking water not far away: "Brother Hua, come here!" ”
Liu Dehua walked over, filming day and night during this time, looking a little tired and haggard.
"Brother Hua, it's been a hard time." Chen Ge said.
Liu Dehua smiled: "It's okay, I'm used to it, I've been in the industry for so many years, I've suffered everything, and these two days are nothing." ”
Chen Ge said: "When the finish is finished, I must take everyone to relax and have a good time." ”
Liu Dehua smiled: "Okay." ”
"When filming just now, Brother Hua, you should also feel the difficulty of this scene." Chen Ge thought for a while and said, "The senior superintendent you play is actually an undercover agent sent by the community, because of your hard work, you have risen all the way, until now, you have really wanted to break away from the community and become a real policeman." So you need to play out that desire for the existing life in your heart......"
Liu Dehua nodded.
Chen Ge also knows that with Liu Dehua's acting skills, there is no problem in this scene, the most important problem is on his side, because Liu Dehua's heart is very easy to grasp, but the character he wants to play is more complicated, he is a jǐng cha, but he is an undercover agent of the club, he is misunderstood, hunted down by others, and even arrested and tortured by jǐng cha, which is unfair to the character itself, if there is no firm belief, it is estimated that it would have collapsed a long time ago, so that he really became a member of the club from an undercover agent. But this character stuck to his bottom line......."
"After the death of the joint police officer, the only one who can prove his true identity is Brother Hua, the opposing opponent, everything is still within your plan, find the evidence and hand it over to Brother Hua, catch the criminal, and then be a member of the jǐng ......"
But he finally discovered the secret of Brother Hua's identity, he is an internal ghost! What should I do? It's a big problem, and this scene is the final moment of confrontation. ”
Chen Ge thought about the character of the character, which Lu Liang taught him at the beginning, to learn to fall in love with the character.
Liu Dehua and He Man saw that Chen Ge was thinking about something, and the two of them were accustomed to it, and they didn't bother Chen Ge, this young director often does this, every time he is distracted, his acting skills will improve, in He Man's secret name, this is to practice.
After a few minutes, Chen Ge came back to his senses, "Let's start shooting!" ”
He Man saw that Chen Ge had finished "cultivating", so he took the opportunity to shout: "Attention of all departments, prepare to start filming immediately!" ”
Hula, the whole crew immediately took action.
Suddenly, the track is buried, the camera is buried, the lighting is buried, the actors are buried, and the balcony scene of "Infernal Affairs" officially begins.
The camera rustles around the track.
In the camera, Senior Superintendent Liu Jianming played by Liu Dehua walked to the rooftop of the date.
Look around, no one.
He was about to turn when a gun was held against his waist.
He raised his hand.
Chen Yongren, played by Chen Ge, showed a playful smile behind him.
The dialogue between the two begins-
Liu Jianming: It's pretty neat.
Chan Wing-yan: I also studied at the Police Academy.
Liu Jianming: You undercover agents are really interesting, you always meet on the rooftop.
Chen Yongren: I'm not like you, I'm above board. What do I want?
Liu Jianming: You may not bring what I want.
Chen Yongren: Hmph, what do you mean, you came up to bask in the sun.
Liu Jianming: "Give me a chance." ”
Chen Yongren: "How can I give you a chance?" ”
Liu Jianming: "I didn't choose before, but now I want to be a good person." ”
Chen Yongren: "Okay, go and tell the judge to see if he lets you be a good person." ”
Liu Jianming: "That's to let me die." ”
Chen Yongren: "I'm sorry, I'm a police officer. ”
Liu Jianming: "Who knows? ”
He Man, who was directing the filming, never understood why Chen Ge put this scene on the rooftop to shoot, and Chen Ge's answer was that this was Chen Yongren's choice. So, why did Chen Yongren choose the location of the joint on the rooftop?
It wasn't until he saw this that He Man suddenly woke up.
The sky is vast and vast, ethereal and clear, and only under this blue sky can the suppressed soul be more bright. Compared with Liu Jianming, who had to complete the transaction under the cover of the darkness of the movie theater, Chen Yongren's actions couldn't help but be admirable.
The footage continues.
On the rooftop, Chen Yongren, who was at the end of his rope, pointed a gun at Liu Jianming, who was also at the end of his rope.
Liu Dehua and Chen Ge can both be said to have played extraordinarily this time.
Especially Chen Ge, who He Man has been worried about, he is a newcomer, although he has made great progress, but his acting skills are jerky after all, and the filming has just been filming, but this time, he was able to play a role like Chen Yongren to the fullest, and he played a walker who walks in the Infernal Hell with a firm mind to be touching, which is definitely talented.
In this regard, He Man couldn't help but secretly admire, and at the same time remembered that the young master had always wanted Chen Ge, now it seems that the real purpose is not clear, but Chen Ge definitely has the qualifications to become an actor and a super director.
Filming of Infernal Affairs is underway.
Singer Chen's heart has been sweating all the time, and it wasn't until he finished performing this dialogue on the rooftop that he breathed a sigh of relief. Next is another character, Lin Guoping, who came on the field. As another undercover agent of the club, although he does not have many scenes, he plays a vital role in the end.
In his previous life, Lin Jiadong played the role of Lin Guoping, who was also an acting school and a close friend of Liu Dehua. There were even rumors of "broken backs" for the two at one time. Lin Jiadong played this role very naturally, it didn't take long to come out, and the dialogue was not right, but it was impressive. Now it depends on this actor personally selected by Chen Ge, whether this version of Lin Guoping can surpass Lin Jiadong.
The camera turned sideways, and Lin Guoping officially entered the game.
Lin Guoping: "Don't move, the police put down their guns and let Officer Liu go!" ”
Chen Yongren: "Your boss is Han Chen's undercover agent, the evidence is in my hands, let's go to the police station to talk about it!" ”
Lin Guoping: "Put down the gun, put down the gun immediately!" ”
Chen Yongren: "I called the police!" ”
Lin Guoping: "Why should I believe you!" ”
Chen Yongren: "You don't have to believe me! ”
……
In front of the elevator, "Bang! The gunfire rang out suddenly, and the vicious bullets flew into Chen Yongren's brow. He convulsed and collapsed in despair. The elevator doors open and close, hitting the fallen and unwilling heroes. The dead are gone, but the living are not alive......
This is the end of the shot, abruptly stopped!
There was silence, there was not a trace of sound on the whole set, only the elevator was still closing back and forth, only the blood was still flowing.
Everyone watched everything in front of them silently, as if they had long forgotten that this was filming.
Chen Ge curled up and fell in a pool of blood, with a smile on his face.
But this smile makes people feel distressed.
This time, He Man only felt goosebumps rising all over his body, and he didn't even ask Chen Ge's opinion, he took a big breath, and then picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Everyone, pay attention, now I announce that "Infernal Affairs" is officially finished!" ”
・・・・・・
・・・・・・
"Cheers!"
Chen Ge, Liu Dehua, He Man, and Han Dong drank a large glass of beer.
"Director Chen, I Han Dong haven't served anyone yet, but seriously, I have to say half a word to you after filming "Infernal Affairs" this time!" Han Dong said drunkly.
Chen Ge said modestly: "No, in fact, I admire you very much." ”
Liu Dehua said: "Why is it half a word? ”
Han Dong pointed at Chen Ge, "He's too young, and it's not good for me to write down all the words." ”
"Hahaha!" The crowd laughed.
He Man looked at Chen Ge, his heart was full of pity and regret, this time "Infernal Affairs" was completed, announcing the end of the cooperation between the two. He Man thought about the young master, and then looked at Chen Ge, and finally moved his heart of compassion and love.
Chen Ge looked at He Man, who pulled himself out alone, "Director He, what's wrong?" ”
He Man groaned and said: "I don't know much about you and the young master, anyway, if there is still room for maneuver, it is best to be soft and admit your mistake." I'm not a lobbyist for the young master, I just don't want to see a rivalry between you and the young master, to be honest, it's not good for you. ”
Chen Ge smiled, he could see He Man's concern, but the relationship between him and Wei Qianxiang was complicated, how could He Man know.
Chen Ge said: "Director He, we are filming during this time, you should also know what kind of person I am." ”
He Man looked at him.
"Wei Qianxiang wants my freedom, how can you say I can agree?"
・・・・・・
・・・・・・
After saying a few words to He Man, Chen Ge turned around and returned to the dinner.
Han Dong once again pulled Chen Ge to drink, he should be the happiest person in the crew of "Infernal Affairs" this time.
After the dinner, Chen Ge was already thinking about the shooting of the next movie.
What to shoot in the next movie is something that Chen Ge has already thought about, after "Infernal Affairs", followed by "The True Colors of Heroes".
"The True Color of Heroes" will be invested, filmed, starred and screenwritten by Chen Ge himself. In short, it's all about himself, this movie is one of Chen Ge's favorite Xiangjiang movies, and Chen Ge will not let Wei Qianxiang and others get involved.
This movie, Chen Ge doesn't know how many times he has watched it, Chen Ge will watch it every time it is broadcast on TV, in short, he never gets tired of watching it. From appreciating the bullet-like plot at the beginning, to finding more real life reflected in movies, and dissecting real life and dreams from movies.
"The True Color of Heroes" is a film that highlights the real emotions between people through violent scenes, and it is a simple love between men, but it is so appropriate and shocking to express such themes with gunfights and death. Chen Ge really likes this movie, and every time he watches it, his heart is still boiling.
For Chen Ge who was young at the time, the movie "The True Color of Heroes" also satisfied almost all his adolescent fantasies -- troubled times, brotherhood, happiness and hatred, and love. Although with the progress of the times, the rivers and lakes of swords and swords have evolved into a rain of bullets, the rough and wild spirit of this rivers and lakes has not been attenuated by half a point, and it can still make us roar in it to our heart's content -- without these unprovoked anger and rebellion, our adolescence would certainly lack a lot of due vitality.
As the saying goes: times make heroes. In the mid-80s of the 20th century, when the economy was developing rapidly, Hong Kong was a region that advocated freedom and individuality, and followed a social order of survival of the fittest. Such a general trend has created Wu Sen's grand and agitated vision of trauma and romantic and confident creative techniques. The myth of the heroes of the rivers and lakes that comes with it reflects the firm belief of the people of Hong Kong for the future and the thriving development scene. At this time, "The True Color of Heroes" created three heroes of an era in Hong Kong in a timely manner. Although they are not righteous people, this kind of anti-traditional heroism is more popular, and even impresses the values of a generation, so they are heroes. That's right, these three heroes, three heroes who represent the yearning and pursuit of a generation of Hong Kong people.
Among the major starring roles in "The True Color of Heroes", it is impossible not to admire Zhou Yanfa's acting skills, creating an immortal role of Brother Xiaoma that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Suddenly, the long clothes wandered on the street in a chic and uninhibited manner, suddenly holding a toothpick and lighting a cigarette with a counterfeit banknote and pouring wine on the fake leg to the extreme, suddenly shooting out like the wind and being invincible and arrogant, and suddenly unkempt and limping to wipe the car and mix up the food, all of which are convincing, making the audience feel that heroes should be like this.
The most famous shootout has been talked about by countless people for many years. The Southern Nocturne in the Wind Forest Pavilion is intoxicating, Xiao Ma is tossing and turning in the corridor with the singer, Wu Sen's classic slow motion makes this scene look particularly elegant and charming, Chow Yun-fat's transition from frivolous laughter to fierce eyes is so natural, and the dancing steps and soaring murderous spirit perfectly interpret what is called the aesthetics of violence.
Chen Ge's favorite scene was when Xiaoma read the newspaper on the street and learned the news of Brother Hao's loss, he threw down the newspaper and walked across the overpass with an expressionless face, his back was lonely, and his steps were firm. Three years later, he put down his former pride, carried a bucket of rags in rags, calmly picked up the banknotes thrown by Ah Cheng on the ground, limped back to the basement, and munched on a boxed lunch. At this time, Ah Hao appeared: "Pony, the letter you wrote to me is not like that. ”
It was Chow Yun-fat who shouted with tears in his eyes: "I have waited for three years, just to wait for an opportunity, I want to fight for a breath, not to prove how great I am, I want to tell others that I must get back what I have lost!" ”
Many years ago in his previous life, Chen Ge received the chivalrous courage and courage that rushed to his face, and made people's blood boil. The heroes who raised their arms and shouted, the heroes who promised their gold, the warriors who sacrificed their lives for righteousness, wearing a windbreaker, holding a double robbery, holding a toothpick in their mouths, with a charming evil smile, killing one person in ten steps, and not leaving a line for thousands of miles!
Chen Ge wants to shoot "The True Color of Heroes", and this time, Brother Xiao Ma is him!
