Actors start from the college entrance examination

Chapter 479 Who else is there

What I saw this time was the old man who restrained Du sir.

From the intensive gun battle with traditional violent aesthetics in "Gunfire", to the gorgeous and artistic gun battle in "PTU", to "Underworld" and "Death Gold" without firing a single shot...

He has been looking for room for growth in the theme of gangster films.

"What a great performance!"

Zheng Xiuwen looked at Su Ze who was swaying freely in front of the camera, and couldn't help but said to Du Qifeng: "It's much better than Hua Tsai when he was young."

Du Qifeng laughed, this can be.

I am very satisfied with Su Ze's performance. The role of John Seton is difficult, not only because of blindness, but also because of his complex and changeable personality.

Nervous, smart, stingy and domineering, he has a necessary personality and a worldly smell.

This young man did it perfectly!
Not to mention Hua Tsai when he was young, even Liu Tianwang may not be able to do it now!
In fact, I thought about looking for Liu Tianwang at the beginning. After all, he has worked with Zheng Xiuwen for many years. He is known as an on-screen couple and has countless fans.

When I still chose Su Ze in the end, as a director, I also wanted to try new things. One was the script, and the other was definitely an actor.

Not using actors will bring different styles to the script, and even replacing the same script with different actors can even produce completely different chemical reactions, which is what I am most looking forward to.

The last time I accidentally discovered Su Ze's treasure, many times watching works and being there are two different things.

I have seen too many actors, including many so-called powerful actors. After all, the movie is a finished product, and the audience will not know what happened on the set?How much hard work is behind a simple shot?

In all fairness, if Du Qifeng is asked to comment on the actors he has worked with, even if the kings and queens simply compare their acting skills, many of them can only be regarded as hard work or dedication.

There are very few people who can grasp the essence of the character, but the young man in front of him...

done!
Not just an accident, this more difficult blind detective once again proved his strength. The status problem he was worried about did not exist at all, and the natural and smooth one seemed to be a real blind person.

The filming went smoothly, and the cooperation with Zheng Xiuwen became more and more harmonious. If the logical chain of the story can pave the way for the main meal, then the use of small jokes and humor is the seasoning that makes the whole plate full of color.

The key to these reasonable uses is to grasp the rhythm, which can be integrated into the main meal without conflicts, and can also change the taste, resulting in a witty and interesting combination, just like John Setton yelling that his mood is wrong in the mortuary room!
In that Hong Kong-style nonsensical joke, and directing everyone to restore the scene of the murder of Uncle Qiu, it was discovered that the murderer stopped for a moment after hitting Uncle Qiu, and then chased him out nine times to make up the hammer. Mystery:

What is more important than killing a person?It must have killed someone else.

In the process of restoring the scene, the camera shifted, and the two corpse collectors, one fat and one thin, were speechless, watching the two play in amazement, and finally blended into it and volunteered: I will play Uncle Qiu.

Regardless of the main meal and the preparation process of the ingredients, what is the primary purpose of people eating?
It is used to absorb nutrients for life support.The spiritual connotation of a movie is nutrients, which are indispensable.

Whether it's "Gunfire", "Sparrow" or "Drug War", Johnnie To, the godfather of black police films, is always willing to pay attention to the black and gray areas of society, and use strong and stimulating ways to remind the audience to stay away from right and wrong and embrace the light.

Johnny Shiton said to He Jiatong, "I don't know why God made me blind, but I realized later that only when my eyes are blind and my heart is not blind, can I investigate those old cases that others ignore and comfort the victims."

For individuals, you don't need to do great good, but you must not do small evil. If you have spare energy, you can pursue the small sense of justice in your heart and make your life more fulfilling.

Therefore, any director can be clever and use commercial elements, and can show off gimmicks, but don't forget that the audience is not blind, let alone their hearts.

The reason why the Galaxy Image is a gold-lettered signboard is because of the deep respect for the audience and its own requirements.

This is not a very serious film. From the beginning to the end, it conveys an exaggerated and crazy temperament, which is not only reflected in the style, but also in the performance of the actors.

The detective I play claims to be blind, has a keen sense of hearing and smell, and has genius-like logical reasoning. He is known as the god of solving crimes and always looks confident.

But this genius has congenital deficiencies, and he has many shortcomings: greedy for money and good food, arrogant and rude.

It is precisely because of such distinctive character traits that the audience feels a kind of reality from life, and it is extremely comical.

And He Jiatong, played by Zheng Xiuwen, is a bit nervous and carefree, and has an idol-like admiration and love for Zhuang Shidun.

When imitating the crime scene in the process of handling the case, changing various costumes and styles, it can be said that I have suffered a lot and produced a strong comedy effect.

It is precisely because of that exaggerated and crazy performance that injects a fresh and unique temperament into the work.

Johnnie To is smart here. He treats the original serious criminal reasoning process as a comedy, dispels the seriousness and solemnity in detective films, but increases the humor and playfulness in comedies.

Especially when restoring the crime scene, deliberately blurring the boundary between reality and hypotheses, and letting yourself be at the crime scene at that time to empathize with it is worth pondering.

In Du sir's words: What I shoot is not a suspenseful mystery film at all!

After Su Ze is released, there will definitely be audiences who will criticize the blind detective's reasoning for not being rigorous enough.

Indeed, if it is measured according to the standards of detective films, many processes cannot withstand scrutiny at all, and many logical clues cannot support the structure of the entire story.

Think of it as Johnnie To and his galactic images playing a ghostly rhapsody for the entertainment audience, all the audience has to do is carnival in the darkened theater.

Just be happy,
That's it.

Thriller + suspense + love + food!

Su Ze got fat after eating all the way!
I have to say that this is a rare complex work since debut, like a hodgepodge, with all the elements?
That is Du Qifeng, if it is someone else, it will definitely be over!

The screenwriter of Du Sir's film Wei Jiahui always reveals the mystery of fate, whether it is the lonely man and widow who shuttled between the grids many years ago, or the thin man and woman wrapped in thick fat, who have lost a good figure and a part of the world. Touching love.

This time is no exception, people come and go in the city, more and more people are blinded and paranoid, so the detective John Seton appears, not a savior, but an ordinary citizen, full of flaws, but Fresh and agile.

I have watched movies one after another, and the time is passing by bit by bit. On the screen, you laugh and cry and curse, and I cry and laugh with you in the audience, even if you get wrinkles and dark circles when you laugh, it’s all because of you , so dreamy and real.

Who is it if not you?
