Chapter 108: Three-legged stand
The lights dimmed, and the theater fell silent.
A premiere like this can be regarded as an extended version of the past screening, and there is no big scene where a film premieres a few years later, but it is not a simple screening.
The film's creators, film critics, media, and corresponding audiences constitute the first premiere audience, and the experience accumulated over the years, the invited premiere audience is complex, but it can represent the taste of the Xiangjiang audience.
The soundtrack of the whole film is matched with a compact plot, bright and exciting, so that you unconsciously follow the rhythm of the whole film, which will not make you nervous to the point of suffocation, but will make you have a feeling that you don't want to blink, blink, and worry that you will miss a lot of plots.
Cameo big names appear one after another, the four major actors perform together, the peak duel scene is like life, a look, an action, and a slight change can make you think deeply about how this action affects the entire plot, and will continue to make up various pictures in your brain, guessing the direction of the whole film, the positive and negative black and white lives are full of contradictions, but you can't help but guess the future ending of the two protagonists.
Yang Yichen has appeared a lot of times, but everyone found that he is completely a soy sauce player, and as the plot progresses, many people begin to be disappointed, including Li Bingbing and Gao Yuanyuan, who also frowned.
"No, look closely, there is something in Chen Zai's eyes, look carefully at his body movements, especially when the camera doesn't give it to him, good, very good, deduce the story of his character in the background, I'm looking forward to this role now." Lai Shuiqing looked deeper, muttered in a low voice, and clapped his hands unconsciously, Yang Yichen and Lao Huang in front of him turned their heads and made eye contact.
Li Bingbing and Gao Yuanyuan on the side also listened to it really, and they were engrossed in watching the plot, and when there was Yang Yichen, they would pay more attention to him, and this time they really found some strange places, the camera was very rare, but it was simply weird, not the kind of pretended weird behavior of grandstanding in order to win attention, it seemed that every action and every look had no lines, they were telling a story, a story that was free from the plot but was not revealed.
If Yang Yichen is asked to evaluate this drama by himself, the initial positioning of his performance is that in another classic police and bandit-themed movie "Cold War" in later generations, Peng Yuyan's last reading of the book is not his weird smile, which everyone thinks is suspicious, and to interpret this laugh, you need to find out the book he is holding in his hand, and you need to use technology to enlarge the picture in order to see the title of the book "Shadow Samurai", implying that he is just a shadow released by the man behind the scenes, he is a samurai who is loyal to the man behind the scenes.
A few years later, all kinds of movies began to like to reverse or leave huge easter eggs at the last moment, and there were things that made everyone feel unexpected, no longer a model of knowing the end at the beginning, this drama Yang Yichen borrowed from the techniques of later generations, and it was different a little bit, you don't think this easter egg or the reversed role is anything different from ordinary people, but you just feel different, and you don't know until the last moment, looking back and thinking about all the weirdness, the whole character is full.
There is a condition for the success of this kind of method, the audience feels that the reversal plot is successful, and the audience feels that it is too abrupt to accept it completely, then the role is a failure, a qiē, it does not depend on the final performance, but depends on whether your previous performance can serve the role reversal at the end of the moment, there are very few films that can successfully complete this kind of reversal, and they will become classics, and most of them are drawn tigers and cannot become anti-dogs, deliberately making a lot of puzzles, As a result, at the end, the audience gave a single comment: "I can't even tell a good story." ”
Nowadays, there are not many such models in movies, Yang Yichen is under the influence of the aura of the four major actors, and he can be described as extraordinarily active when filming "Infernal Affairs", and now looking back, he himself is not confident that he can come again.
The film first died of Lao Huang, and then Lao Zeng died, the peak showdown is coming, the two heroes on the rooftop, the music and lighting environment all give the audience a feeling that this shot is bound to become a classic, and the original version is indeed the case, this scene has really become a classic.
With Yang Yichen's film, this classic scene is no longer the two-man meeting on the rooftop, but the three-legged scene in front of the elevator.
At this time, Liang Chaowei is still better, he can fully present a qiē without speaking, Liu Dehua and Yang Yichen were somewhat suppressed by him, when the gunshots rang out, the peak moment of Liu Dehua came, this scene was talked about for many years afterward, and I felt that this was his peak acting skills.
Liang Chaowei said frankly that after the death of the role he played, the appearance of the two people is perfect, let alone Liu Dehua, even if he puts himself in the role of Yang Yichen, the expression Xiàn will not be much better than him, of course, everyone can hear that in the role of Yang Yichen, he wants to promote the juniors, but with his character, unless the actor really plays well, he will definitely not have such a straightforward evaluation.
In the last few minutes, everyone on the scene clenched their fists, it was too tense and exciting, and the reversal of the plot was so domineering, Yang Yichen turned out to be Lao Zeng's undercover agent like Liu Dehua, calmly cleaned up the scene, and simply talked about all the echoes before and after, the relationship between the characters and the plot were all kneaded together without any disobedience, just when everyone thought that it was going to end with their victory in the end.
In the elevator, the two of them watched for dozens of seconds, and the gunshot rang out again, with Liu Dehua saying to himself that I am a policeman, which drew a complete end to this scene, and then waited until he opened the elevator door and when he walked out, the sentence in the original version I am a police officer is gone, Yang Yichen knew that it should be a make-up, Liu Dehua was very confident holding his ID, the smile on his face gave people a kind of upward strength, after coming out, he pinned the ID to his chest, and directly gave an order to the police officer at the door, his current identity is a policeman, A rising star of the police force, a real police officer, after solving all the troubles, should have such a confident smile and the momentum of guidance.
With the sound of background music, accompanied by a close-up of Liang Chaowei and Yang Yichen after their deaths, Liu Dehua walked outside, the sunlight outside shone in, not giving him the kind of light and shadow effect that was tall, but a feeling of moving from darkness to light, here, the whole film is perfect, no matter what the final ending looks like, whether it meets certain standards, for the whole story, this ending is the ending, and after that, whether it is the second or the third part, in Yang Yichen's opinion, it is really a suspicion of making up the numbers, There is no classic of the first part at all.
The subtitles appeared, the lights turned on, and the scene resounded with thunderous applause, as an industry insider in this industry, you can feel a warm wind blowing in your face, the sluggish state of Xiangjiang movies will no longer exist, "Infernal Affairs" will be a new symbol of Xiangjiang films, it has used everything that Xiangjiang movies can use, so many good actors gathered together is not just to brush their faces, really good roles and good scripts, but also need good enough actors to perform, otherwise good roles will be played into bad roles.
How many professional eyes have seen the highlights of this drama outside the four major actors, to be honest, they all have to admit that with the last few minutes of play, Yang Yichen has more highlights than Lao Huang and Lao Zeng, complementing each other before and after, as a background, the inner monologue of the characters can be brought out, and the identity of the characters that the film has no time to introduce is great, this is really a classic film, applaud all the actors, directors, and crew.
The applause at the scene lasted for a long time, giving this film all the respect it deserves, and it is so good that it deserves such praise from everyone.
In the crowd, there was a person who did not pay attention to the congratulations, but stared at Yang Yichen, he is Ye Chaoda, who has been a professional black Yang for 30 years, after watching the film, I feel that Yang Yichen's role is obviously soy sauce and still doesn't admit it, so he has to make a reversed role, I can't understand it at all, what's going on with his role? Why did it come out all of a sudden? In his mind, an article had been formed, and he had thought of the title: "Is it a reversal of the plot, or is it a rigid copy?" ”
At the time of the spring of literary thoughts, Ye Chaoda didn't have time to stay longer, he should have had a little exchange with his peers about this film, but at this time, he also felt that it was not necessary, and he needed to watch it carefully, but Yang Yichen's appearance made people look a little clumsy, it was completely a play added for the sake of adding a role, and he was embarrassed to be a background simply to see him, and the addition of drama made him feel stronger, and he had a deeper impression of breaking into the audience with a reversed role.
Ye Chaoda felt that his hands couldn't resist the urge to present all the pictures on the text, and he didn't even experience the most basic reporter's discussion and judgment process of news accuracy, and his reasons were also very sufficient, he would occupy the market for one minute more than one minute earlier, there was no time to delay, and there was no time to think about it carefully, he watched the film, Yang Yichen's table is really not good, this time, look at who still says that I hack him, a popular idol in order to hug the thigh of the actor, I'd rather run to a film and play a small supporting role as the background, and see how I can make you reveal your true form this time.
If there is a regret medicine in this world, Ye Chaoda will definitely choose to take it immediately to avoid greater embarrassment tomorrow.
When the newspapers that overwhelmingly touted Yang Yichen's acting skills were distributed to every corner of Xiangjiang, such a report that belittled him immediately became the target of hanging and beating.
