Chapter 1299 "The True Colors of a Hero" alludes to the ups and downs of Hong Kong movies?
Chen Mo himself couldn't put it down because of the story of "The True Colors of a Hero".

The main reason is that such a story is really difficult to appear in this era!

Whether it is Song Zihao, Xiao Ma, or Song Zijie, these three characters are all exquisite.

This can be said to be an out-and-out male drama, highlighting the true emotions between people through violent scenes, it is a simple friendship between men, it is so appropriate to express such themes with gun battles and death And shocking.

Such a movie deserves to be a classic.

Of course, it is quite difficult to make this kind of movie now.

First of all, in terms of actors, the role of Song Zijie may be the best actor to find, because this role is actually timeless no matter in any era.

Therefore, it is not difficult to find an actor for this role.

Besides, Brother Xiao Ma, this character is of course very classic and three-dimensional.

This can be said to be a freestyle ordinary hero.

It can be regarded as an ordinary citizen of Hong Kong Island, a small person. In fact, Xiao Ma is in the movie. To many big shots, he is a small person, an extremely inconspicuous little character.

He actually represents most ordinary people. These people may not have much ability, unique background, or important position, but they all have their own pride, such as being handsome, funny, narcissistic, and worldly. No struggle, live very freely, occasionally think about those unreachable dreams, do some unexpected things, they stick to themselves, they enjoy the happiness and sadness that life should have in their own lives.Maybe these people are ordinary, but the extraordinary in the ordinary is also creating another kind of "hero", that is, a free hero in the style of Pony Ma.

Li Yi admits that the pony brother in the original version is indeed wonderful, but in his opinion, it is really not irreplaceable.

Such a role, of course, has high requirements for actors, but it is not so special that no suitable actor can be found at the moment.

In fact, in Li Yi's opinion, among the three main roles, it is Song Zihao who has the most difficulty finding a suitable actor!
Why do you say that?

Because Brother Hao in the original version played really well.

Although in this movie, Brother Xiao Ma may be the most popular, the most well-known, and the most imitated and talked about, but in Li Yi's view, purely from the perspective of acting skills, in this movie, Song Zihao, Hao Brother is absolutely stunning!
In fact, each of his appearances can stand careful consideration.Except for the famous "I haven't been a big brother for a long time" scene, other details that can be said are scattered like pearls and jade, all over the plate.

Li Yi watched it many times by himself, and felt even more how important an actor is to a role.

Among them, there are several scenes that Li Yi still remembers vividly. In one scene, Brother Hao went to the hospital to visit his father. His father hoped that he would stop doing the counterfeit banknote business and become a gangster.Brother Hao's eyes look like a child who did something wrong. He sincerely promised in front of his father that he would not engage in illegal business again. His love for his younger brother Ajie made him determined to withdraw from the underworld. , naturally coherent.

After being released from prison for three years, Brother Hao immediately went to visit Xiao Ma after he settled down.The pony's miserable situation shocked him. On the other side of the road, when Ah Hao saw the once high-spirited pony slumped to wipe the car, his eyes were full of shock, grief and pain.Fluttering nose, heavy breathing, and a rising and falling chest that is not easy to find.Bring the viewer into it completely, follow him and understand him without any effort.

Perhaps many people may be wondering, why is Brother Xiao Ma popular in this movie instead of Brother Hao?
In fact, this kind of popularity depends on the age group of the audience.

For many young people, there is no doubt that the unrestrained, unrestrained and handsome brother Ma is the hero that people are looking for.

But for those with a little experience, watching this movie, Brother Hao's charm is much greater than that of Xiao Ma.

Afterwards, Li Yi and Chen Weijie made an appointment for tea together to discuss "The True Colors of a Hero"!
When Li Yi told the plot of "The True Colors of a Hero" completely, You Ningsheng and the three of them were a little bit astonished.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Li Yi was a little confused.

You Ningsheng said: "How do I feel that your movie is alluding to the entire Hong Kong Island movie?"

"Why do you say that?" Li Yi really didn't think about it that way, or no one thought about the movie from this angle.

Of course, it is also related to the time when this film was filmed and released, which coincided with the most glorious period of Hong Kong films.

"Look, Brother Hao, he used to be considered a powerful figure in the Jianghu. Isn't this very similar to the status of Hong Kong films in the Chinese film industry?" You Ningsheng said with a smile.

Li Yi thought about it, don't say it, You Ningsheng really said something when he said this.

"No, you can't say that? Brother Hao is a well-known big brother in the world, but what he does is illegal and criminal, but Hong Kong movies can't allude to that?" Li Yi shook his head.

"Hehe, I think it is indeed very similar. The chaos in the Hong Kong film market back then is actually no different from that of Jianghu." You Ningsheng said with a chuckle.

"Well, even if this is true, is there any more?" Li Yi asked again.

"I say this not only because of this, but also, Brother Hao is a gangster who makes a fool of himself, and as far as Hong Kong movies were concerned back then, in fact, the values ​​​​of many movies are the same in this era. It is against the mainstream values ​​of this era.

For example, young and Dangerous, such as gangsters, such as rivers and lakes, etc., these are all cultures that the mainstream does not respect.

It can even be said bluntly that most of the characters in old Hong Kong movies cannot be regarded as absolutely positive characters!
Big brother?Young and Dangerous?black police?Etc., etc.Moreover, in Hong Kong films of that era, many clubs pointed guns at actors’ heads in order to film.”

When You Ningsheng said this, Li Yi also scratched his head a little.

But Luo Xian and Chen Weijie both nodded.

"Then Brother Hao went to prison. In fact, it was like the Hong Kong movies back then. Everything was overdone and crazy. After that, he fell into a predicament, a trough! Just like Brother Hao, when he was released from prison, the world It has changed, and his status has plummeted!"

"It's not only Brother Hao, but also Xiao Ma, and he is the same. The once handsome Xiao Ma has become a lame parking boy. His situation is not like that of Hong Kong. film from glory to decline?"

"Ah this." Lee Sparta said.

He dared to say that the original movie had absolutely no such idea.

It can only be said that the human brain is really invincible.

But this statement is quite interesting.

"Also, didn't the later plots prove the same? You must know that after the decline of Hong Kong films, there was a period of time to return to the light, that is, at the end of the 90s, Hong Kong films had a revival for a period of time, isn't it just like Howard? After Brother was released from prison, Brother Xiao Ma rose again, like fireworks, but in the end he fell quickly?"

"No, although Hong Kong movies are in decline, isn't it too much to say that Hong Kong movies are dead?" Li Yi said dumbfounded.

"So, there is Song Zijie! To some extent, he represents the hope of Hong Kong films!"

What else can Li Yi say?
"Well, it seems that you really don't think so!" You Ningsheng knew that he was thinking too much when he saw Li Yi's expression, but he really thought so.

"By the way, you can give me advice. Which actors do you think are suitable for the three leading actors?" Li Yi asked.

Hearing Li Yi's words, You Ningsheng smiled and said: "After I heard the three characters you mentioned, I have actually been thinking about them for a while."

"First of all, there are not a few people who can play the role of Song Zijie. However, I suggest using young actors from Hong Kong Island." You Ningsheng said.

Li Yi nodded. In fact, he didn't mean this role, only actors from Hong Kong Island were suitable. Many niche students in the mainland were also suitable for this role, but Li Yi still nodded.

why?
Because You Ningsheng thought that way just now, and Chen Weijie and others all nodded, which is enough to show that if he makes this movie, many people will definitely think that way.

In particular, You Ningsheng said that Song Zijie can be regarded as a hope for Hong Kong Island movies.

Although in Li Yi's view, Hong Kong Island has returned to Hong Kong for so many years, there is no need to make a clear distinction, but he also knows that Hong Kong people, especially Hong Kong Island filmmakers, or Hong Kong Island audiences, and even many old Hong Kong people in the Mainland Movie fans actually have a feeling or expectation.

If Song Zijie finds mainland actors to act, then although there is no major problem, it will always hurt some people's hearts.

And in fact, mainland actors may not be able to perform well, because the role of Song Zijie is set to be a Hong Kong policeman.

It's still the Hong Kong Island police in the old days!

When mainland actors come to act, it always makes people feel a little bit out of the play.

If "The True Colors of a Hero" is made, it will definitely be labeled as a reproduction of an old Hong Kong movie, because the background of this movie must be set on Hong Kong Island in the 90s and [-]s.

"Then choose Rong Zai to act." Li Yi thought for a while and said directly.

The role of Song Zijie, in fact, cannot be said to be very brilliant in "The True Colors of a Hero". The reason why many people mentioned it in the original version, in Li Yi's opinion, is more about his brother's personal charm, not the character's charm.

To be honest, the role of Song Zijie is actually not that pleasing.

According to people of this era, Song Zijie is actually somewhat selfish to some extent.

He wanted to be a policeman, a just policeman, but because he had a brother who was a criminal, it was certain that he would have no bright future in the police force.

The charm of Brother Hao's role lies in his friendship with his family and brothers.

From the perspective of people in this era, it is unknown in reality, but for the characters in the movie, such as Brother Hao, he did do something wrong, but he has already paid the price for it and has been imprisoned for three years.

From a legal point of view, he has been punished for his mistakes.

And now he wants to be a good person, an ordinary person.

In fact, if he is really willing to make a comeback, he may not end well in the end, but at least he doesn't need to be so humble.

He thought about his younger brother everywhere, and said that sentence in such a humble way: "I haven't been a big brother for a long time!"

However, Song Zijie, who is his own younger brother, targets him everywhere, which naturally makes people feel a little disgusted with this role.

So this character is really not that brilliant, not even that great and upright!

This role is different from that of Chen Yongren.

The same persistence, two people with their own beliefs, but the audience's attitude towards them will definitely be different.

First of all, for the character of Chen Yongren, he sacrificed his own happiness for the belief he insisted on. He suffers daily, walks in the dark, and his heart is for the light.

Chen Yongren never thought of hurting the people around him, so he has always been in pain, because how could he not hurt the people around him?
Therefore, he is a tragic hero, but he is a truly sympathetic and admirable hero.

But what about Song Zijie?

The biggest difference between him and Chen Yongren is that he bases his justice on the premise of hurting his own brother.

The other is the comparison of living conditions. Song Zijie has a very good girlfriend. Even if he is not rich and rich, his life is at least not bad, but what about Song Zihao?
After he was released from prison, he stayed out of the rivers and lakes, not only facing difficulties from the police and his younger brother, but also from people in the rivers and lakes.

In contrast, people will naturally dislike Song Zijie more because of Song Zihao.

"Where's Brother Ma?" Li Yi asked again.

"Brother Ma, it's not so easy to choose this role!" You Ningsheng said with a wry smile and shook his head.

"Isn't it?" Li Yi was a little taken aback.

"As for, why not? In the scene of Fenglin Pavilion, the sky was lightly raining, and the background music was a cheerful Fengyuechang song. Xiao Ma happily walked into the private room with a prostitute in his arms. His teasing, his The scene is just to put the pistol in the flower pot. The rich and romantic scenes are in stark contrast to the murderous look. However, some old actors can do this kind of scene if they want to act shockingly. I can't think of anyone who can act like that!" You Ningsheng said.

"Where's Brother Jie?" Li Yi looked at Chen Weijie.

Chen Weijie shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If I were to choose a character to play, of course I would like the role of Xiao Ma the most, but to be honest, I feel that I can't play his unrestrained and unrestrained style. Besides, height is also an issue. question."

Li Yi looked at Chen Weijie, and it really was.

The little brother in the original version is 1.8 meters tall.

This role really needs an actor who is not short to play, wearing a windbreaker is not something people with short legs can handle.

"So what about the role of Brother Hao?" Li Yi asked again.

To his surprise, You Ningsheng's answer was: "There are quite a few actors suitable for this role."

"Actually, this actor, for many old Hong Kong actors, can play in his true colors." You Ningsheng said with a smile.

"That's right, I haven't been a big brother for a long time, isn't that the case for many old actors?" Luo Xian also said with a smile.
