Zhao Ze has to admit that the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" can cause such a sensation in the other world, in Zhao Ze's opinion, in addition to the strength of the actors, it is more because of the director of this movie.

Jiang Wen!

I have to say that his whimsical ideas and shooting techniques, especially the cartoon made the movie cartoon-like, and this kind of cartoon is not the same as the "low" and "simple" that people usually perceive.

When many people think of cartoons, their first reaction is that they are mentally handicapped, which is probably related to the fact that Chinese cartoons have only assumed the function of children's enlightenment education for a long time. But in fact, as an important means of dream-making art for human beings, animation has never been an exclusive entertainment for children, it has infinite possibilities in the imagination of human beings, which can enrich our expression of reality in the surreal world, and at the same time restore the purest essence of human hearts in various complex realities.

The cartoons produced by Pixar in the United States and the works of Japanese animation masters Hayao Miyazaki and Mamoru Oshii show the beautiful animation world, profound and rich speculative colors, and simple and beautiful emotional pursuits, which have long proved that "cartoon" is a means of wisdom related to imagination and creativity.

At the same time, what "Let the Bullets Fly" shows us is indeed a work created entirely under the thinking of cartoon animation. It cannot be said that those wonderful pictures full of imagination are the credit of cartoon style, but the utopian world, those exaggerated and symbolic characters, and those absurd and unconventional plots can be reasonably unfolded in a cartoonish naïve logic.

And what really aroused everyone's interest was the meaning of "Let the Bullets Fly"!

Since ancient times, people often like to say that good and evil are not separated, and good and bad people do not confuse right and wrong because of the complexity of human nature. But it can be contested with all kinds of bizarre and absurd but extremely simple means.

Because of such simplicity. Bullies like Huang Shilang. Zhang Mazi, a bandit who wants a fair world, and Master Tang, who just wants to deceive a comfortable person, the contest between these three extraordinary characters, although it is bloody and bloody, can be as simple as a child's play.

The simplicity makes it impossible to question the unreasonableness, incoherence, and untruthfulness in it. Although exaggerated and naïve, it firmly defends the dignity of justice and the legend of heroes. Defending the surreal dream in people's hearts that the chivalry of the rivers and lakes can eliminate violence and peace - at least in this dream, you can let out a bad breath.

Movies are dreams, and Jiang Wen is the director who understands this essence the most. With his outstanding talent and serious creation, he fulfilled a naughty adulthood dream. This dream does not educate people on how to be good, does not flaunt the complexity of human nature, does not talk about harmony and the overall situation, but only takes responsibility for what the heart yearns for, and ensures that this heart yearning is not emasculated and reaches the other side happily. With such respect for dreams and the simplicity of defending dreams, how can I care about the imperfection and immaturity of dreamers? It's like you can't dislike a child who is full of vitality and creative energy, and you can't dislike his clear distinction between right and wrong and full of heroic ideals. Even if he is still reckless and naïve. Not to mention, when he is standing full. It's all about lewd and utilitarian adults and some unenterprising dwarfs.

Therefore, there is no Jiang Wen in this time and space, so regarding the movie, Zhao Ze is thinking about who is more appropriate.

That's also something he needs to think about!

As for the actors, Zhao Ze doesn't care much!

After all, no matter what, there are indeed not a few people in his company in the movie, and it is okay to choose anyone, and it is precisely because of this that Zhao Ze is struggling with nothing more than the choice of director at this time.

Who exactly to choose?

Zhao Ze suddenly had his own choice.

Transform the boy!

In between, Liu Dehua has always wanted to ask himself if there is a movie suitable for him, but this time he can completely let Liu Dehua be the director and star!

It works!

Thinking of this, Zhao Ze called Liu Dehua directly!

As soon as I heard that there was a movie on Zhao Ze's side, it can be said that Liu Dehua almost put down his work and came directly to Zhao Ze's house in the afternoon!

"Mr. Zhao, you!"

Liu Dehua was startled when he saw Zhao Ze's appearance.

Zhao Ze has always been relatively young in Liu Dehua's heart, and even said that sometimes he himself is a little jealous, but Zhao Ze is so successful at a young age, thinking that he Liu Dehua was quite stupid at that time.

But Zhao Ze, who was in front of him today, looked a little tired and tired, and his face was pale, as if he was seriously ill, which frightened Liu Dehua.

"Hehe, Huazai, you're here."

Zhao Ze said with a smile.

After sitting down, Liu Dehua asked with some concern: "Mr. Zhao, what's wrong with you?" When I saw you the other time, were you okay? ”

"It's okay, maybe it's just a little tired."

"In this way, let's go, Mr. Zhao, I'll take you to the hospital together."

"You don't have to go."

Just when Zhao Ze was about to stop it, who knew that Ning Qian also walked out from behind and said, "Xiao Ze, listen to Huazai, let's go to the hospital for a check-up together." ”

When Zhao Ze was about to say something, he was already directly helped out by Liu Dehua.

In the car, Zhao Ze still said with a smile: "I'm just tired recently, and I don't have anything else to do."

Ning Qian, who was sitting on Zhao Ze's side, looked a little gloomy, she didn't know why she always felt a little uncomfortable, and even faintly felt that Zhao Ze was deceiving herself.

She has been really scared recently, and has persuaded Zhao Ze to go to the hospital more than once, but she was rejected by Zhao Ze, and it is precisely because of this that this time Liu Dehua came, Ning Qian wanted to take this opportunity to directly let Zhao Ze have a good check-up.

If it's okay, that's better.

An hour later, Zhao Ze came out of the hospital and said with a smile: "Look, I said it's okay." ”

"Zhao Ze, I didn't say you, now you should pay more attention to your body, so let's talk about it later."

After Liu Dehua sent Zhao Ze home. Said with some concern.

Zhao Ze smiled lightly: "It's okay." It's just tired. Let's go, isn't it obvious that you are in such a hurry to hear this movie? ”

In the end, Liu Dehua chatted with Zhao Ze in the office.

Zhao Ze showed Liu Dehua the simple characters and outline, and as for the other problems of the script, Liu Dehua also roughly filtered it.

Half an hour later, Liu Dehua finished reading it.

"How?"

Zhao Ze looked at Liu Dehua with a smile.

"Good, good, very good."

Liu Dehua said with some joy.

Zhao Ze said: "Since that's the case, then I won't give you any nonsense, if you feel good about this movie." Then it's up to you to be the director, and by the way, you see what role you're suitable for, and it's all up to you. ”

"This?"

"What? Is there a problem? ”

Liu Dehua hurriedly shook his head and said, "Hehe, of course it's no problem, but, Xiao Ze, do you also want me to play a role?" ”

That's right!

Looking at Liu Dehua, Zhao Ze laughed!

For movies, it is absolutely impossible for Liu Dehua to play Zhang Mazi.

But he can play other roles, that is, the role of Fa Ge. Huang Shilang.

The southern goose city is a hegemon, and he made a fortune by selling tobacco and soil. Sitting on the whole watchtower community, the pit is abducted and deceived all kinds of evil, and the minions are not allowed to live, so that the people of Goose City dare not speak. In the war-torn southern China, Huang Shilang monopolized one side of the enclosure and became the king, rampaging more than ten counties and cities, and was a blessing.

Under his rule, the common people were struggling and complaining along the streets, and there were not only doormen like Hu Wan and Wu Juren who helped and abused, but also Hu Qian and Hu Bai who were lackeys for the tiger, and more people who dared to be angry and did not dare to speak out. As a local bully on the powerful side, Huang Shilang has a kind of loneliness of being alone and seeking defeat, for the comer Zhang Muzhi, he has the pleasure of meeting his opponent in chess, and he also has the sympathy of heroes gathering. Despite the unforgivable sins of the common people, Huang Shilang was a person who had received a Western education ahead of his time, which can be seen from the way he dressed, his body was a mixture of Chinese and Western, Chinese and Western, he squeezed the people's money while contemptuous of their lives, and Zhang Muzhi's arrival stirred up the lonely and aggressive nerves in his bones.

It can be said that Zhao Ze is not worried that Liu Dehua will not be able to play this role, in his opinion, Liu Dehua is enough to play this role to the fullest.

As for the role of the master, the two also had a discussion.

The handsome man in the play can be described as a big liar, but he is pitiful, hateful, amiable and cute, Lao Tang is a scholar, and the warlord is not able to make a living, but he is constantly at ease, incarnated as a big liar, and embarked on a road to the rivers and lakes. Unexpectedly, during a long trip to the county, he met Zhang Muzhi on a narrow road, so he had to pretend to be a master and go to Goose City together.

Born in the grassroots, mixed in the pear orchard, relying on writing a few scripts to eat, without a soldier of the old soup, in the troubled times of Beiyang, finally soared all the way to the peak of buying officials. Who would have thought that he was hijacked by Zhang Muzhi halfway through his tenure, and in the dangerous situation of changing day and night in Goose City, he faced Zhang Muzhi, who had a heavy army, and Huang Shilang, who had the power to lean one side, and where to go made Lao Tang's every choice in danger.

Wandering between the two factions, Lao Tang can only rely on himself, with fox-like sensitivity and wisdom, Lao Tang frequently turns danger into relief, goes through the great sorrows and joys of life, and moves towards a dramatic climax. In the process of Zhang Muzhi and Huang Shilang's wrestling, Lao Tang's choice was quite delicate, and the balance of power was often tilted because of his choice. From the time he took office to the time he was robbed and enslaved, the relationship between Lao Tang and Zhang Muzhi had ups and downs, from life and death enemies who did not share the sky, and gradually became irreversible friends with cold lips and teeth. The two can turn enemies into friends, not only because they have common interests and common enemies, but also because they are bosom friends who understand each other deep down. Lao Tang's emotions in the film are also ups and downs, he not only has the true love of hardship with his original wife, but also the real fetters with famous prostitutes in the capital, and in addition to the emotional line of a wife and a concubine, Lao Tang will inevitably have merciful romance everywhere.

So if this role is not an old actor, I am afraid it will never be played.

But without Uncle Ge, Zhao Ze discussed with Liu Dehua, and chose Zeng Wei and Liang Hui to try the play to see how the two of them were.

However, who will Zhang Mazi let play?

That's a big problem!

Zhang Mazi in the play is Zhang Muzhi, a fierce general in Cai Yi's army in the past, who fell into the grass after the Beiyang War and became a green forest bandit in the mountains. He led a group of brave and resourceful brothers to go all over the southern corner of the rivers and lakes to rob the rich and help the poor without encountering an opponent, until he encountered Huang Shilang in Goose City. The troubled times in Beiyang, where bandits were rampant and warlords were divided, was the best era and the worst era.

Zhang Muzhi, a fierce general in the army in the past, was burly and strong-spirited, calm-headed and resourceful, and had a good marksmanship that no one could match, which was deeply used by the local warlords, making people from all walks of life frightened. After the strife of the heroes, Zhang Muzhi's uprising failed and fell into the grass, incarnated as the leader of the bandits, crisscrossed the mountains and wilderness, with a group of brave and resourceful brothers, walked all over the southern corner of the rivers and lakes without encountering opponents, because they wore masks printed with mahjong patterns one to nine cylinders when they acted, everyone called them "Ma Bandits", and his name was also called "Zhang Mazi" by false rumors.

For Zhang Muzhi, who knows the dire situation of the people of Limin, punishing the evil and promoting the good, robbing the rich and helping the poor is his unchanging purpose, Zhang Muzhi has both the external aura of chic, simple, fierce and strong, and the inner world of delicate and sincere "boys". He treats his brothers as brothers and sisters, and even in the face of the "Little Sixth Son", the orphaned "Little Sixth Son" who used to be in the same trench and then fought separately, he also loved and cared for him as if he were his own; He regards his friends as his greatest wealth, even if the other party betrays him intentionally or unintentionally, as long as they are still inseparable friends from birth to death, they can meet and smile and get back together.

It can be said that Zhang Mazi and Huang Shilang are quite brave and fierce.

Naturally, the actor of this person cannot be an idol.

It has to be a rough card!

However, this person is not easy to know.

Zhang Xiaojin?

Song Xiang?

Chen Tingfeng?

None of them are clearly suitable!

Who will play it?

In the end, Zhao Ze and Liu Dehua, who had been discussing for a long time, didn't come up with it, so they decided to look at it later.

Let's take a closer look.

So, after sending Liu Dehua away, Ning Qian looked at Zhao Ze at this time and said, "Xiao Ze, are you sure you didn't lie to me?" ”

Seeing Ning Qian, Zhao Ze smiled and said, "How could I lie to you?" Don't overthink it. ”

All right! ~

Ning Qian shook her head slightly and went to prepare the bath water.

Zhao Ze frowned a little in his chair and fell silent.

What made him a little stunned was that he received a phone call.

"You're coming to Yanjing?"

Zhao Ze heard the voice on the other end of the phone, and said with a somewhat incredulous expression. (To be continued......)
