Chapter 0277 - Hand Rolled Cigarettes

Xu Hengzhou's first thought was Zhang Hanyu, who was competing in the same group as him, and originally had some ideas about the role of Xin Xiaofeng.

But in fact, Xu Heng already knew how Zhang Hanyu handled this scene from the beginning.

Because Zhang Hanyu had already tried the various states of the role of Xin Xiaofeng in different periods when he was auditioning.

Zhang Hanyu's acting method is different from Xu Hengzhou.

Zhang Hanyu himself has his own aura when he plays this role because of his age, and he is full of drama all over his body.

Therefore, his acting method is to choose to act with all his strength all the time, and occasionally show his strength at critical moments, even if it makes the darkness in Xin Xiaofeng's heart explode.

If Zhang Hanyu is really allowed to play this role, then the overall character of this role must be modified in all aspects.

Because the script itself had just been written at that time, and it was adapted from the original book, according to the past practice, it was also common to recreate the characters because of casting.

Therefore, this kind of interpretation is completely meaningless for Xu Hengzhou.

Because Xu Hengzhou himself played this role in a way that was closer to the original.

If you have to find an actor to use his acting skills at his peak to play this role, then the age must also be suitable.

The peak of the actor's acting skills is best between 25 and 35 years old.

I don't know why, Xu Hengzhou suddenly thought of Huang Bo......

The other party seems to be stuck at the age of 35, and he just won the Golden Horse Award last year with the movie "Bullfighting".

But Huang Bo's acting skills are good, but they don't match the temperament of Xin Xiaofeng's character.

Whether it is in the original book or in the script, the description of the character of Xin Xiaofeng has such a sentence: "The air around him seems to suppress his soul in the deepest depths, making his whole body flesh and bones, extremely thin." ”

No matter how you look at this description, it doesn't look like Huang Bo can perform it.

The second thing Xu Hengzhou thought of was an actor he liked very much, the thousand-faced actor Leung Jiahui.

This is an actor who won the Best Actor at the 3rd Academy Awards at the age of 25 with "Emperor Xianfeng" in the play "Listening to Politics".

Back then, the media called him the "youngest actor" in the history of Chinese film.

When many people hear the name Liang Jiahui, they probably think of "Prison Storm", "New Dragon Gate Inn", and "Outwitting Tiger Mountain".

But Xu Hengzhou's favorite movie is "Lover" played by Leung Jiahui.

In it, he plays a rich second generation who is in his prime and has a lot of charm.

The main reason is that Leung Jiahui in this movie really played the personal charm of this character.

Although Xu Hengzhou didn't like the plot of this movie very much, he completely relied on Leung Jiahui's acting skills to watch this movie, and remembered the character he played deeply.

This is also the first time he has an impression of the actor's acting skills, this kind of thing.

Xu Hengzhou thought about it and felt that it was feasible.

Liang Jiahui's temperament is very changeable, but most of the time he will play the kind of gloomy, depressing, and neurotic roles, which just correspond to the character characteristics of Xin Xiaofeng.

After deciding, he entered the training ground of the system and spent a lot of money to buy a full ten minutes of Liang Jiahui's acting skills at his peak to interpret the performance of the role of Xin Xiaofeng.

After the other party's performance began, Xu Hengzhou watched it very seriously and paid full attention.

He found that soon, the attention he was going to forcibly concentrate on was involuntarily attracted by the figure of the other party.

It is a complex temperament mixed with melancholy and silence, but it gives people a fatal attraction.

Leung Ka-fai's appearance has never been very handsome, but it is definitely a very characteristic one.

When he played the role of Xin Xiaofeng, he did not weaken his own characteristics like Xu Hengzhou, but used his own style to highlight and amplify a certain characteristic of Xin Xiaofeng very strongly.

But that's when no one is around.

Xu Hengzhou watched Xin Xiaofeng, played by Liang Jiahui, light a cigarette in the deep alley, but did not smoke it, let it dye itself to the tail, and his thumb was slightly offset, so he wanted to directly use his thumb and index finger to extinguish it, so as to habitually wear out his fingerprints.

At this time, the sparks at the end of the cigarette were very close to Xin Xiaofeng's eyes, reflecting the melancholy and fragile waves in Xin Xiaofeng's eyes.

Then Xu Hengzhou saw that he hadn't snuffed out this little spark yet, so he threw a look at himself......

Xu Hengzhou instantly had goosebumps, feeling that he was seen by Xin Xiaofeng, at that moment, what he saw from the other party's eyes was a clear panic caused by being disturbed, and the next second from panic to ruthlessness and malice.

At that moment, he was deeply aware of what kind of person Xin Xiaofeng was.

This character is a fugitive, no matter what his initial motivation is, and no matter how he has repented over the years, but the established facts have been created, then all kinds of stimuli given to him by the outside world will inevitably leave a mark in his heart.

Once the sunspot is stimulated, it causes a large explosion of solar flares, and the flare energy released by the sun may reach the power of 10 billion nuclear bombs.

Xu Hengzhou exhaled softly, and for the first time understood the sentence so deeply: "If you don't explode in silence, you will perish in silence." ”

Xin Xiaofeng has always been in a state of faint outburst, so his entire mental state is very unstable.

But in the end, I don't know what it was, it still suppressed his outburst, and let him directly choose to perish in silence.

Maybe that's why the movie chose "Sunburning" instead of "Sunspots".

After Xu Hengzhou diverged his thoughts for a while, the thoughts in his mind were much clearer.

He probably knew how he was going to play the role.

Sometimes to make the audience feel how depressed the role is, you can't just blindly press it down, but find an opportunity to let the audience see the madness under the suppressed calm of this character.

In this point, there are actually similarities with some of Mr. Tree's performances.

It's just going to be a little more restrained.

Xu Hengzhou thought of this, and couldn't wait to practice the performance method he thought of several times in the training ground.

Then he got out of the system space and went straight to Cao Baoping and Wei Xiao.

He opened his mouth in the hope of making some minor changes to some of the character's settings.

As the original author and screenwriter of this movie, of course, Xu Yigua was also present, and after she heard Xu Hengzhou say this, she didn't immediately feel that there was anything wrong with the other party's proposal to modify the character's setting.

Instead, out of trust in Xu Hengzhou, she asked with interest:

"How do you want to change that?"

When Xu Hengzhou heard Xu Yigua ask, he remembered that he had said in front of the original author that he wanted to modify the character settings......

Ahem, isn't it not good to set the characters that others have worked so hard to do.

But he couldn't care so much anymore, so he sorted out his thoughts and said it.

He mainly wanted to add a detail to the role of Xin Xiaofeng.

Because Xin Xiaofeng habitually used his index finger and thumb to snuff out cigarette butts in order to wear out his fingerprints, because this shot would appear many times in the setting of the original plot.

After Xu Hengzhou watched Leung Jiahui's performance, he wanted to do some processing on this detail.

He wanted Xin Xiaofeng to switch from smoking to hand-rolling cigarettes.

Buy the tobacco completely yourself, then do the carpentry yourself, make a small machine that can roll the tobacco by hand, and then make your own hand-rolled cigarettes to smoke......

The subsequent outbursts that cannot be hidden can also be expressed through something in this detail.

Xu Yigua listened to Xu Hengzhou's idea, and the more he listened, the brighter his eyes became.

When she wrote this one, she actually set some character-specific details for each character.

But in fact, the characteristics of Xin Xiaofeng's character are reflected in his emotions and personality, and some details are set up relatively little.

When you think of Xin Xiaofeng, the first thing that comes to mind is the texture of his entire character, and you don't think of one of his more obvious features.

If Xu Hengzhou added this detail, it can really add more thickness to this role.

Just imagine, a young assistant police officer, when you hear this description, you probably won't think that he is a person with a story.

But if this young man has just appeared for a short time, there is a shot of homemade hand-rolled cigarettes, and the cigarettes smoked are also homemade.

You'll have more room for reverie for this young assistant officer.

Why did he make his own cigarettes, was it because he was poor, or because he was nostalgic, or because he simply liked the taste of handmade cigarettes that were different from ordinary cigarettes?

In the second half of the plot, when Xin Xiaofeng's smoking is associated with fingerprints, the audience may have more associations.

And another supplementary setting written by Wei Xiao gave this setting that Xu Hengzhou came up with as a potential clue.

Hand-rolled cigarettes, including the entire carpentry work of making hand-rolled cigarettes, were taught to him by Xin Xiaofeng's grandfather.

When Xu Yigua wrote this, he could blur the entire background of the male protagonist's fugitive trio, and did not specifically describe their origins, their families, and their original relatives.

It was as if all three of them were orphans.

The first is because it's hard to write, and the second is because of the literary setting.

If the offender has relatives, then there will be deeper moral aspects, such as whether he has been in contact with his relatives over the years.

Why can't he go back and turn himself in for the sake of his loved ones?

Therefore, although Xu Yigua is not specified in it, it has already tacitly acknowledged that their kinship is shallow.

And in the movie, this article also applies.

Originally, the film didn't discuss too much about ethics and morality.

So in the setting provided by Wei Xiao, although Xin Xiaofeng has a grandfather, his grandfather has also been dead for many years.

And his memories of this part of his grandfather will not appear at the front end of the whole movie, but will only be at the end of the movie, when Xin Xiaofeng is sentenced to euthanasia, put the content of this part into his memories.

The three people present, led by Xu Hengzhou, felt that the setting added by Wei Xiao was simply a stroke of genius.

directly at the end of the movie, sublimating the whole movie.

Although there are no ethical matters discussed in the middle of the movie.

But at the end of the movie, an introduction was thrown out to let everyone know that Xin Xiaofeng also has relatives, so of course the other two criminals also have relatives.

And when they take care of the victim's children as their own relatives to atone for their sins, where are their own relatives?

Is their guilt for their loved ones also reflected in this atonement for the victim's child?

Instantly feel like it's worth it!

Especially Xu Hengzhou felt that in the original movie, although the part where Xin Xiaofeng euthanized was canonized.

But most of the people will search for this part of the performance because of curiosity.

And after reading it, there is more of a chill in my heart, a kind of awe of death.

How so?

After watching this performance, what impressed everyone was actually the acting skills of the actors, and there was no special memory point for Xin Xiaofeng, in this euthanasia plot, Xin Xiaofeng seemed to be a tool man.

Maybe it's not a person anymore.

But once he joined this memory, Xin Xiaofeng instantly had humanity again.

Maybe when the audience sees this plot, in addition to the awe of death, they may also have some hope for life.

That's probably what to expect:

Xin Xiaofeng, if you have a next life, be a good person.

Be a good person.

Filial piety to grandpa and serious life.

Don't end up in this situation again.

Xu Hengzhou found that his brain replenishment ability was getting richer and richer, thinking about this shot, his eyes were a little sour.

But don't say it's him, Wei Xiao's casual description of the details of Xin Xiaofeng's memories of getting along with his grandfather before his death was too delicate and real, and it also touched Xu Yigua and Cao Baoping in an instant.

Xu Hengzhou looked up and saw that the corners of these two people's eyes were also slightly red.

The eyes of the three people met in the air so suddenly.

Not to mention, there was really a hint of embarrassment, so that the good sad atmosphere disappeared in an instant.

Cao Baoping coughed and expressed his opinion: "I think it's okay, this setting is just right." ”

Su Yigua also nodded: "I'll add it to the script, and then I'll see how the performance goes, if the effect is good, I'll add it to mine, and it just so happens that mine may have a movie version at the same time as this movie." ”

Xu Hengzhou has no opinion, this setting was originally proposed by him, and Wei Xiao made a good addition, which made his whole person excited.

He patted Wei Xiao's shoulder hard: "Tell me more carefully, what kind of grandfather is this grandfather, is he good to Xin Xiaofeng?" What is the relationship between him and Xin Xiaofeng? ”
