Generally, movies from the perspective of the protagonist have high requirements for the logic of the script.

Because a movie is built on conflict, conflict generally stems from the choice of the protagonist.

In a 90-minute film, the protagonist has to make big and small decisions.

In these choices, it is difficult for the protagonist to maintain integrity from beginning to end, and some scripts will even use a personality that is contrary to the protagonist to force the development of the plot in order to create conflict, and then dilute the fans who follow the protagonist's consciousness from the beginning.

According to Eric Edson's "Story Theory", the protagonist's contact role is generally divided into six types.

Rivals, partners, lovers, mentors, border guards, and other allies.

The protagonist can be compared to a hexagonal shape, with each side hooked up with the other characters.

Unlike the unobstructed protagonist, each supporting character only shows one side that intersects with the protagonist.

Because the presentation of the other five sides is missing, it is inevitable that there will be contrast bias in the audience's perspective.

For example, the role of Lin Kun in this play.

In previous movies with similar themes, the villain has always been ruthless, cold-blooded and ruthless, and a chic style that does not stick to a single leaf in the thousands of flowers.

But among the disciples, the character of screenwriter Lin Kun is more life-like.

He loved his family and chose to commit suicide for the sake of his unborn child; He doesn't take drugs or even smoke, and those addicts are the existence he hates the most; For Ali, he also showed his support and trust.

He is righteous, intelligent, logical and capable. My only hobby is eating sugar, and I also have diabetes.

It can be said that compared with the hesitant Ali, this character is more plump and three-dimensional.

In the whole play, the role of Lin Kun is also the most outstanding.

Liu Dehua knew, so he also mentioned it when he invited Ji Yun.

The protagonist of this movie can be changed, but the role of Lin Kun must not be changed.

He is the eye of the whole movie.

In the selection of the Academy Awards, Liu Dehua won the honor of Best Actor twice.

"Big Guy Has Big Wisdom" and "Dark War".

But he has not won the award for Best Supporting Actor yet, and this "Disciple" is his most powerful competitive choice for Best Supporting Actor.

It is not so much that Liu Dehua is matching Ji Yun, it is better to say that Ji Yun is setting up a platform for Liu Dehua.

As the positive and negative characters, there are many rivalry scenes between Ji Yun and Liu Dehua in this play.

Without exception, whether it is the degree of performance or the tension of the plot, it is Liu Dehua who has the upper hand.

For example, Ali and Lin Kun are discussing why people take drugs.

"I really don't understand, what's there to smoke when the smoke stinks?"

Lin Kun in the play is the head of the drug business, and those who buy are the kind of people he despises the most.

Ji Yun's eyes flickered, and he asked cautiously: "Why do people take drugs?" ”

"Alas, I don't know, I don't want to know, business is about supply and demand, someone buys and someone sells. Smoking can also cause cancer, is it different from some people who smoke? ”

Liu Dehua was very helpless, looking self-deceiving.

As if as a drug dealer, he was not at fault in the slightest.

Of course, he knew that he was heinous, but he still exonerated himself in his tone, as if he was explaining to Ji Yun, and as if he was looking for some psychological comfort for himself.

He felt that what he had said was not enough, so he made a series of words.

"Am I promoting? Nope! I didn't force them, I didn't force them! What's the matter with me? Blame themselves at all, blame themselves at all! ”

He stared at Ji Yun's eyes, as if he wanted to get a hint of affirmation in his eyes.

His confidence is a little lacking, although his voice is getting higher and higher, but it can't hide his weakness at this time.

Although he said it sounded, the more he said this, the more it showed that he had a ghost in his heart.

Ji Yun Muran, obviously the concept of good and evil in his heart did not support him to praise Lin Kun's behavior at this moment.

Liu Dehua didn't get a response from the other party's eyes, and he sighed helplessly.

"What? Got a drug addict? He stiffly changed the subject.

"No, I'm curious."

A hint of unnaturalness flashed on Ji Yun's face.

"Those who take drugs are the most pitiful, and they can't do anything when they are addicted! Don't get involved with these people, or you'll think you're doing something wrong, as if you've hurt them. Blame themselves at all! They don't take drugs, what can we do, they blame themselves at all..."

He was already incoherent, and once again threw all the fault on the men, and his body turned away with some uneasiness.

As if this way you can escape the condemnation of your heart.

"Why are you so hot?"

"What am I fired?" Liu Dehua's eyes widened suddenly, "It's not their fault?" How can I have fire! ”

"Jingle Bell~"

The mobile phone rang, and a hint of happiness flashed in Liu Dehua's eyes.

He hurriedly picked up the phone, "No, I'll find someone to solve it." ”

Putting down the phone, he trembled and lifted the water glass, and kept muttering: "One day I will add some rat poison and poison those bastards..."

"Cards!"

After the shooting, Liu Dehua ran to the monitor like a gust of wind.

His eyes watched unblinkingly at what he had just played.

"Let's have one more."

This scene is full of close-ups of himself, and in his opinion, the control of details just now is still a little inadequate.

Er Dongsheng sighed, "There is less three-dimensionality, as a boss, you can't only show your panicked side in front of your younger brother." ”

Liu Dehua nodded thoughtfully, the previous performances of Zhang Jingchu and Ji Yun had ignited his fighting spirit, and in this performance, he was bound to strive for excellence in his performance.

......

Warren Buffett once said: When the tide recedes, you know who is swimming naked.

This sentence can be placed not only in the stock market, but also in the entertainment industry.

Capable actors are more able to withstand the test of time.

The little fresh meat is on fire one after another, and Liu Dehua is still the king.

During the filming of "Killing", he was reminded by Ma Jingwu, "Actors don't eat youth food, only maintaining consistent enthusiasm for performance can make you an evergreen tree in this industry." ”

This sentence is just right for Liu Dehua.

At this moment, he seems to be a beginner, constantly trying and making mistakes in the simplest way, and constantly approaching the director's requirements.

In every reopening, you can clearly find the layering of his performance.

From simple panic, to a little self-blame, to fear and hidden shame.

21 times.

Although it is a simple dialogue scene, after 21 attempts, his body is already covered with sweat.

I don't know how many touch-ups he make-up, but his enthusiasm has not diminished.

He sat on a plastic stool and repeated the line he had repeated many times.

"I really don't understand, what's there to smoke when the smoke stinks..."

Ji Yun stood opposite him, and at this moment he could clearly feel that the other party had eaten this role thoroughly.
