Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 680 "Infernal Affairs"!
After purchasing the skill book, Li Zhifan immediately chose to use it.

Although there is a plug-in, it is only a cornerstone. When it comes to acting, one's own feelings must be the most important. Sometimes temporary play can add a lot to the film.

Instead, he followed the script, perhaps losing the unique temperament of Li Zhifan.

……

Hong Kong.

Wen Hao's turmoil has not subsided, and a new style has blown up in the showbiz circle.

And the leader of the storm is Liao Feng.

At an artist salon.

"Director Liao has been in frequent contact with a large number of actors recently, is he going to make a new film again?"

"Really? I haven't heard of it yet. Why, did I find you?"

"Haha, why did Director Liao fall in love with young actors like me? I think you have a good chance!"

"Director Liao's plays are famous for their male roles, and I'm afraid there are very few female roles."

"But one is red, isn't it?"

"It's true!"

……

In a brokerage company established by a certain heavenly king.

"Have you heard? Liao Feng came to see our boss!"

"I've heard that too, is this the rhythm of looking for our boss to film?"

"Wow, it would be great if the boss could act and bring a resource from the company with him!"

"If there is this opportunity, I must fight for it!"

"Yeah, you are very promising, but you can't play the villain, unlike me, you can play both pros and cons."

"Who said that? I have played many villains in the past."

"It has to be eye-catching. If you can't act, it's because you haven't acted before."

"Okay, you guy, enough superficial!"

"Hehe, you are the same! I heard the news a long time ago, so I told you first!"

"Each each other!"

……

A restaurant.

"Old Deng is here!"

"Haha, I spent too much time talking with Director Liao and I was too involved, almost delaying our party!"

"It's okay, work is important. Why, Liao Feng is looking for you... to start a new play?"

"Haha, don't guess!"

"Is it true? I've heard it from many circles!"

"Well, it is indeed, but it has not been decided yet! I just got in touch with it briefly, and I don't even know what kind of drama it is."

"The product exported by Liao, it must be a high-quality product! Why are you hesitating!"

"It's not me who hesitates, it's Director Liao who hesitates, the choice is not in my hands!"

"Too……"

……

Liao Feng had contacted too many actors this time, all of whom were first-line superstars in Xiangjiang, but the more such superstars, the more frightened the city would be if there was a slight disturbance.

Now I am afraid that everyone in Xiangjiang's performing arts industry knows that Liao Feng may be making a new movie.

But looking at the films that Liao Feng has made for so many years, he has never found an actor in this way. Every time he shoots a film, he basically thinks who he wants to play, instead of talking to the actors one by one.

In fact, this is equivalent to an interview, and Liao Feng is the interviewer.

The boss behind the scenes is not him, but Li Zhifan.

Of course, Liao Feng is not just doing the interview this time, he will also serve as the producer and art director of "Infernal Affairs".

Li Zhifan, who is far away in the capital, has already received information from Liao Feng one after another, all of which are actor information that Liao Feng thinks are acceptable after the interview.

Some of these actors are nearly [-] years old, and some are newcomers who have just debuted but their acting skills have been recognized.

Li Zhifan's next job is to select suitable candidates from this pile of information.

Although some Xiangjiang actors have rich qualifications, some of them have already lost their sharpness in acting skills due to frequent bad movies, and are not suitable to appear in this movie at all, but some still maintain their own characteristics and temperament, such as Zeng Yuan Jiang, he is a changeable actor, he can restrain his comedy style in a second, and release the fruit of laughter in a second.

There are also many Xiangjiang actors who can be used, and with Liao Feng around, they can guarantee their full cooperation.

In addition, mainland actors are also necessary, and they must account for a large proportion.

Although there may be some supporting roles, the two main characters, Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren, will be mainland actors.

Li Zhifan has already confirmed that he will play Chen Yongren, so the ownership of Liu Jianming's role has also become a difficult problem for him to consider.

The whole three parts of "Infernal Affairs" revolve around Liu Jianming's story, and Chen Yongren is the motivation to advance the story, so the choice of Liu Jianming's role is very difficult, not only to be brilliant, but also to be good and evil.

First of all, the first big theme of the movie is to talk about the endless hell, and in this big theme, Liu Jianming is the most typical representative.

In the first movie, Officer Huang was trapped in the elevator, Chen Yongren died in the elevator, and Liu Jianming got out of the elevator.In the third elevator that had just started to descend gradually, Liu Jianming still appeared in the elevator.

The elevator is a tool to get to and from hell, and everyone is in hell.

In this hell, everything seems to survive or die so suddenly, life and death are not up to you to decide.

Huang Zhicheng, Chen Yongren, Han Chen, Yang Jinrong, Lu Qichang, Chen Jun... none of them wanted to die, but they all died unexpectedly. On the contrary, Liu Jianming, the only one who wanted to die in his heart, didn't die.

Next is good and evil.

"Infernal Affairs" is the most unique, and the sign that distinguishes it from general police and gangster Hong Kong films is probably the depth of good and evil.

The good, evil, and identity of almost everyone in the endless hell are different from what they appear on the surface.

In other words, there are differences in some people's superficial identities, real identities, identities they want to be in their hearts, and even their own identification of good and evil.

The most typical one is Liu Jianming.

The role of Liu Jianming is the one that best embodies the three characters "Infernal Affairs" in the whole movie.

Basically all major events have Liu Jianming's direct participation.

Kill Ni Kun, kill Han Chen's wife, kill Han Chen, witness Chen Yongren's death, kill Yang Jinrong, commit suicide, all cases are over.

However, Liu Jianming is a very poor person.

Because he solves every case and arrests everyone, which seems to be just, but in fact, he knows in his heart that he is not a good person.This kind of conflict and even negation of one's own behavior and thoughts eventually led to the complete collapse of one's own good and evil.

If such a question is raised, once a person becomes a bad person, does he still have a chance to become a good person?

So this problem is undoubtedly very desperate for Liu Jianming.

When he goes undercover in the police station and does all kinds of bad things, everyone thinks he's a good guy.

And when he told others that he wanted to be a good person, no one gave him a chance.

When he first came out, he followed Han Chen, entered the police academy, became a policeman, and gradually climbed up, but from the intelligence department, the serious crime team to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he became bigger and bigger and even killed Han Chen, Liu Jianming could no longer bear himself. It's an established fact that he's still a bad guy.

On the one hand, for his own safety, he needs to clean up, but on a deeper level, from the bottom of his heart, Liu Jianming is not satisfied with being a good person on the surface, he wants to jump out of the endless hell.

But the more he wants to get out, the deeper he sinks, the more he wants to get close to good people, the further away he is.

Therefore, he is undoubtedly the one who has sunk the deepest in the endless hell.

At the beginning, he worked for Han Chen, but fell in love with Han Chen's wife but couldn't get her. In the end, he could only kill her, and he had no way out.

Later, he thought that by killing Han Chen and finding Lin Guoping as a scapegoat, he would be able to clean himself up, but was told that there were several undercover agents in the police station.

In the end, all the undercover agents except Yang Jinrong died. They fought wits and courage with Yang Jinrong, but in the end they became schizophrenic, killed Yang Jinrong, attempted suicide, and suffered infinite pain.

What Liu Jianming said most is:
"I want to be a good person!"

"Scared you? Sorry!"

From meeting Mary to being shot to death by Mary at the end, this ending is not cruel, but it is his relief, freeing Liu Jianming from the deep depression, and ending this completely "infernal affairs" tragic character.

"Infernal Affairs" is a movie with a hidden meaning, especially the third one that is abrupt to most people. Its significance is far beyond the level of police and gangster movies. The coat, but the deep meaning it wants to express through various metaphors is the various games between China and Britain before and after Xiangjiang's return.

Some people may think it's ridiculous, but this is the true intention and connotation of the third part. Those who haven't seen this aspect will definitely feel that Shen Cheng and the mainland police in the third part are superfluous. If you see those fighting teams In the screen, the "Queen of England" photos that appear from time to time will immediately show the director's intention.

There is also the red book on Ni Yongxiao's bookshelf, which shows that he has a certain connection with the mainland, but the Interpol who appeared wanted to put him to death, and the British who wanted to make Ni's family completely disappear in Xiangjiang did not want him to take other people with him. The family's relationship in Southeast Asia defected to China, and chose Han Chen as the new agent of the Southeast Asian gang in Hong Kong, while the mainland police teamed up with Superintendent Liang to dig a hole for Han Chen, and did not allow Huang Zhicheng to intervene in the arms case, which also has deep meaning , Throughout Xiangjiang, there were so many gangsters at that time, but the mainland chose to play arms with Han Shen. Why did the mainland only target him?

Now that I decided to shoot the first and third parts, I had to make some painstaking adaptations on the third part.

The first is to get rid of the "self-centered" thinking in the original film, and be more positive towards the middle-of-the-road characters. Even the underworld should be like Gu Tianle in "Underworld 2 Peace is the Most Valuable", otherwise the mainland review will inevitably be a big problem.

The second is the overall feeling of the film. It must meet the standards of the Mainland screening. The first one need not worry, because it has two endings, and the changes will not affect the excitement. It is just the ending of the Mainland screening, which is less embarrassing and compassionate. .

In fact, looking at the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy, the most harmless is the second part. The inner struggle and psychological transformation of each character are vividly displayed. The manager's long preparation to the final explosion fully conveys the "Infernal Affairs" "This concept has nothing to touch the red line.

……

a.

Li Zhifan held a press conference in Beijing.

The theme of the press conference was not about "Infernal Affairs", but about his new album.

A lot of songs in the new album have been released one by one, and he finally decided to release the full album on this day. As for the movie plan of "Infernal Affairs", he will reveal it in the interview.

Address: Timeline Entertainment.

Time: nine o'clock in the morning.

This time, Li Zhifan adopted the format of both online and offline press conferences. He only invited the top [-] media in China to give them the best opportunity to visit.

And signed a live broadcast agreement with three live broadcast platforms, this time the press conference will be broadcast live, and the bullet screen questions from netizens can be grabbed online at any time to answer.

There are not so many fancy designs, and there are not so many tedious opening ceremonies.

Moreover, Li Zhifan acted as the host himself, and there was only one sofa on the scene, with a microphone and stand in front of the sofa.

When the time is up, the live broadcast will start on time.

Li Zhifan first greeted the netizens who watched the live broadcast: "Hello, everyone! Welcome to my live broadcast room. I saw that the total number of people has exceeded 200 million before it even started. How can so many friends come so early?" It is a great honor to watch my live broadcast this time, thank you everyone! I have seen all of your bullet screens, thank you! Then thank you again for the [-] media platforms who came to the scene, they are..."

Li Zhifan introduced the [-] media outlets one by one to the audience in the live broadcast room, including the names of the reporters sitting on the chairs, which he accurately named, which surprised the audience and the reporters at the scene.

He didn't have a manuscript in his hand, and everyone looked at the surrounding walls, and there was no teleprompter.

"Before we start! Let me sing you a song from the new album that you haven't heard before! The new album will be released at ten o'clock, and you can listen to the original version on major music platforms."

As Li Zhifan spoke, he jumped off the microphone.

The cameraman in charge of filming pushed the camera in front of Li Zhifan. From the perspective of the audience in the live broadcast room, this appearance was exactly the same as that of those network anchors.

Sure enough, as they guessed, Li Zhifan didn't intend to stand up at all, so he put on headphones and started singing.

The twenty reporters below also put on their earphones and listened to this song together.

I thought that Li Zhifan's first song must be a slow song, but I didn't expect that the music would be fast-paced electronic music when it was released.

"My eyes are all about you!

Sweet honey u-know-what-I-mean!

Tell you I like you!
Let's travel hand in hand..."

This song is called "Everything is You". Electronic music style plus rap is the theme of Li Zhifan's new album. It was sung on the spur of the moment.

After only singing for a while, Li Zhifan stopped: "Okay, let's finish the song first, I know you have a lot of questions to ask, I can see that you can't wait on the barrage, so good! Now I will draw Answer the first question on the barrage!"

Netizen barrage:

"Li Zhifan, when will you give birth to a monkey!"

"Ahh! No, I want to listen to music!"

"Li Zhifan, Li Zhifan! Why are you marrying me as your second concubine?"

"Mei Changsu, I love you!"

"When will the new movie be made? Is there a plan?"

"..."

There are too many questions. There are screen-cutting staff on site. After selecting the content of the chat box, answer the first question. If the first one is not a problem, go to the next one.

However, the first question made Li Zhifan laugh out loud.
