Actors start from the college entrance examination

Chapter 446
Su Ze nodded, at least in his heart, no one looks better than Brother Fa with a gun!

In the final analysis, what attracts me is the character itself. Li Wen, a down-and-out painter who seems to have accomplished nothing, has a submissive personality and spends his days helping others draw fake paintings for a living.

Is it just such a character, in addition to portraying Wu Fusheng's supernatural powers in manufacturing and selling fakes, he also has to try his best to make up for the many murders he committed, so he is elegant and chic but also a ruthless killer?
Invert and invert!
Timidity, terror, and cringe are real,

The domineering, vicious, and arrogance hidden are also true.

"In the 90s, there were more than 40 trillion U.S. dollars circulating in the world every day, and about 0.05% of them were counterfeit banknotes."

Zhuang Wenqiang stared at Su Ze and said seriously, "Do you believe it?"

Su Ze nodded, and then picked up the script, as a movie describing criminal events, focusing on the characters, coupled with the biographical color, it is easy to remind myself of "A Game of Cat and Mouse" based on the deeds of the famous fraud tycoon Abagnale ", "Operation America" ​​based on the drug lord Barry Hill, the fictional biographical film "Lord of War", plus the counterfeit money tycoon in "Wu Shuang".

What they have in common is the vivid and legendary way to describe the stories of high-IQ criminal masters. The four in the above-mentioned movies can really make a table of mahjong.

Of course, there are countless crime movies about counterfeit banknotes, but most of them describe the goal rather than the process, just like the fight for a counterfeit banknote in "Five Lucky Stars".

It's also like the battle between the protagonists and the counterfeit money group in "The True Colors of Heroes 2".But few movies have brought the minutiae of counterfeiting to the screen.

Recalling that there was a joke circulating on the Internet, a man used 20 real banknotes to make 17 fake banknotes?
Not to mention anything else, just printing counterfeit banknotes as a gimmick can make many audiences willingly buy tickets to enter the cinema!

You don’t have to be a fan of Hong Kong movies, or celebrities, or even crime movies.But you must be interested in how to produce money!

Three-layer laminated watermark, acid-free paper for banknotes, moiré removal, self-prepared color-changing ink...

Excited as it sounds!

According to Zhuang Wenqiang's words: Except for the core electric plate in the printing press, everything else is true.

"Is it okay to pass the trial?" Su Ze couldn't help asking.

"Of course no problem." Zhuang Wenqiang said with a smile: "I have consulted a long time ago. What we are showing is the manufacturing process of expired US dollars, which is displayed in the subtitles at the end of the movie. Today's US dollar anti-counterfeiting technology is much stronger than it was then."

"What's more, even if you put a full set of equipment in front of you, you can't make it out, because you don't have the skills of core personnel."

"The country is not stupid."

Su Ze is relieved, this thing is not a joke.

So to a certain extent, Wushuang is a bit like Lord of War, a biographical perspective of a fictional character, leading the audience to explore those little-known areas that have not been exposed.

Smuggling arms and making counterfeit banknotes both have a novelty-seeking effect on the public, but the characters are different.

Zhuang Wenqiang has studied many counterfeit banknotes in the world for ten years, and found that most of the people who make counterfeit banknotes are engaged in artistic work. At least the electronic version of banknotes is gravure printing, and counterfeit banknotes are imitations. The art of point carving and painting is really irresistible.

Li Wen is a master of masters.

Li asked about this role, and the director used strong pen and ink to show that this character can do nothing but "imitate".In order to highlight this point, the role of Ruan Wen played by Zhang Jingchu was also arranged.

To set off.Because she is a painter and also opens her own art exhibition.

The opening 10 minutes is full of emotional scenes between the two, which may seem lengthy at first glance, but the main purpose is to highlight Li Wen's characteristic - a copy master.

The only original painting is still an imitation of the four painters. Not only can it not be sold in the art exhibition, but it will be dissed by people saying that there is only one Van Gogh in the world.

The originality coefficient is 0, and the copying index is 100%. Does such a person exist in reality?

At least Su Ze thinks it doesn't exist, no matter how second or fifth-eyed the master is, it is possible to have such a little bit of originality, right?

Even making it up is fine, let alone a person with such a strong artistic background.But the movie just tells us that there is such a wonderful person in this world?
Su Ze likes Xiao Lizi's cat-and-mouse game very much. It is similar to Wushuang's perspective, describing the criminal's experience and mentality.

The greatest talent is not copying, but making fakes, because he can make fakes look like real ones.

In the script, he tells a miraculous story and describes to everyone a biopic of a master counterfeiter, and the protagonist writes and directs himself.

What excites Su Ze the most is his duality. On the one hand, he is omnipotent and a master criminal with a high IQ. On the other hand, he is underappreciated and forced to commit crimes.

Which side is true and which side is false?

You don't realize until the end.

"It's always easier to live in a lie than in reality." Su Ze couldn't help but sigh.

"That's right!" Zhuang Wenqiang's eyes lit up. As expected of Su Ze, he hit the nail on the head.

"In our story, the more Li Wen appreciates, the more he can't get it, so he has to strengthen and fake, because his real self is hypocritical and cowardly, and he can only rely on falsehood to hide his true self."

"He thought that the unsold painting must be real, because he is not a painter, but he really wants to be a real painter!"

Su Ze nodded, this is a very true and good story, because it is seamless.The director is convinced, the actors are convinced, and finally the audience is also convinced.

Looking up at Zhuang Wenqiang, he was too detailed, afraid that the audience would not understand, so he told the story carefully.As a screenwriter, he may not be the best on Hong Kong Island, but he must be the best crime screenwriter.

From "Infernal Affairs" to "Daisy" to the "Eavesdropping" series, there is no need to say more about various crime movies.In addition, Su Ze also found that in his crime stories, he emphasized people every time.

This time, again, the focus is on the identity of the characters.

Infernal Affairs Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming are lost in Infernal Affairs, and their identities become a problem and a tragic theme.

The two protagonists played by Tony Leung and Andy Lau, in the undercover story, made the misplacement of the identities of the two heroes to the extreme.

In Wushuang's script, Zhuang Wenqiang went even further. In a fake story, the two male protagonists once again fell into identity troubles: what is true and what is false?

In the end, the audience realizes that none of this matters anymore. This is a story about you in me and me in you, because the story is presented sufficiently realistically.

From this point of view, making counterfeit banknotes is indeed very similar to making movies, because they are all fakes, they are all pursuits, and how to fake them is very real.
