Chapter 1301 Brother Ma Must Die
Hong Jiu didn't ask for conditions, but in fact, this is the real cleverness of the other party.

Although Hong Jiu is not a big star, if he joins "The True Colors of Heroes", it will definitely be a huge blessing to this movie. Not to mention anything else, his identity alone is enough to become a hot spot.

However, Li Yi didn't think too much about it. It was just a favor. Of course Li Yi knew that although the other party didn't ask for conditions, he had to accept the favor.

But at most it is just giving the other party some resources.

Hong Jiu agreed to play Brother Hao, so the rest is Brother Xiao Ma.

When mentioning "The True Colors of Heroes", I have to mention Brother Ma.

A tragic hero is a hero who can be remembered forever.

In "The True Colors of Heroes", Brother Xiao Ma is actually not a fan, but the result will always be remembered by movie fans.

In fact, in Li Yi's view, this is the charm of this role, and it is also the actor's credit.

But there is one more thing that is, Brother Ma is dead!

So he became the most tragic person in the whole movie.

Also because this is a very pure person, different from Song Zihao and Song Zijie.

But with the original pearl and jade in front, it did make Li Yi a little bit difficult.

If you don't find a good actor for this role, if you find the right actor, then this movie will definitely lose its original color.

The aesthetics of violence is actually not just a gunfight, but a different interpretation of the characters.

"The True Colors of a Hero" Li Yi mentioned that the unrestrained, unrestrained, affectionate and righteous brother Ma should be cast, which can be said to be definitely a major event in the film industry.

After all, everyone knows that Li Yi's movie is a guarantee of success. Although not every character will be brilliant, this time it is really different.

Even from Li Yi's few words, everyone knows that the role of Xiao Ma is definitely the top priority of this movie.

And now it is actually necessary to expand the casting, although it is still necessary to choose from among the current actors, but it still attracts countless people.

Without him, this can be said to be an opportunity to reach the sky in one step!
This is definitely a must-have role for any aspiring actor.

Therefore, the Hong Kong Island Mandarin Hotel, as the audition location for "The True Colors of a Hero", had many entertainment journalists waiting for it early on.

Then, soon they saw a very miraculous scene.

"Which one is this? Another windbreaker and sunglasses, tsk tsk!"

"It must have been requested by Director Dog, but not to mention, this outfit alone is really pretentious!"

"That's handsome!"

The entertainment reporters have already seen the first actors who entered the show, and each of them is no exception, all of them are wearing trench coats and sunglasses.

Even many entertainment journalists feel that even if the filming of this movie has not yet started, it is estimated that trench coats and sunglasses will become popular soon.

After all, there are so many celebrities, many of whom are big names. Stars are often the vane of fashion. Although windbreakers and sunglasses are not something everyone can control, but because of this, after their reports come out, there will inevitably be a wave of windbreakers. trend.

At the same time, in the waiting room of the audition, many stars in windbreakers and sunglasses gathered together, making them laugh.

The reason why it is so difficult to choose Ma, is that the biggest problem is that there are not enough actors on Hong Kong Island.

The old ones, the young ones, the small ones, there is actually a fault in the middle.

It's not that there are no more people, but most of the male actors in their 40s and [-]s, on Hong Kong Island, many of them didn't make it through.

Most of them are supporting roles, green leaves, but there are very few first-line stars.

In fact, it cannot be said that they are not strong enough or something. The main reason is that their age is actually a bit embarrassing.

When they debuted, it coincided with the decline of Hong Kong films and the market shifted to the mainland.

It is reasonable to say that at this time, they should get more opportunities, but in fact, the mechanism for cultivating stars on Hong Kong Island has long since changed.

At this time, although the mainland market has begun to develop, in fact, the plate is still very small. It can only be said that the potential is unlimited, but it is only potential after all.

Therefore, they seem to have a lot of opportunities, but in fact, this is not the case, because at this time, the artists on Hong Kong Island who have come from the golden age of Hong Kong films are in their prime, and the golden age of Hong Kong films , How many star actors have appeared?

It can definitely be said to be a blowout.

Therefore, even if there is an opportunity, it is basically an opportunity for these people, not for newcomers.

In fact, this also has a lot to do with Hong Kong Island movies' habit of eager for quick success.

When these people get older and start to decline, but at this time the market in the mainland has developed. What is the population of the mainland?Naturally, their chances are even less.

In addition, because of the arrogance and practices of Hong Kong filmmakers in the early years, it can be said that the mainland has accumulated a lot of resentment towards them.

After all, back then, even the best actresses and best actresses could only act as supporting roles for some little-known junior actors on Hong Kong Island, and the male and female protagonists did not even have the role of mainland actors.

At first, the movie market believed that movies with stars from Hong Kong Island would be the best sellers, but soon the first and second movies with all-inland crews were able to sell well at the box office.

Actors from Hong Kong Island are paid more, but they are not so magical, and their box office appeal is not so strong, so actors from the mainland will naturally replace them.

As a result, veteran actors on Hong Kong Island have very few opportunities, let alone cultivate the next generation.

For this reason, the actors on Hong Kong Island are really underrepresented.

In fact, these people who came today, although there are some actors who can be regarded as first-line actors, but in fact, these people are more here to make up the number, because first of all, the age is not suitable.

Although "The True Colors of Heroes" does not specifically explain the age of Xiao Ma, it is absolutely impossible to be too young, and it is absolutely impossible to be too old.

But for those who came today, the rest of the people whose ages are more suitable are very embarrassing, and almost all of them rarely have the lives of the protagonist.

Of course, this also made them pay more attention to this opportunity.

"Next!"

Li Yi was a little helpless. He had auditioned more than a dozen actors, and they were actually not bad in acting, but it just made Li Yi feel that he lacked that feeling.

That kind of feeling that belongs to Xiao Ma alone.

Maybe it's because these actors seldom play the leading role, so they may have well-trained acting skills, but it's hard to have the kind of temperament that can't be compared with me.

The character of Brother Xiao Ma has a changeable temperament, but what remains unchanged is that no matter at any time, even when he is the most downcast, he is still remembered at a glance. It is a kind of spirit, a kind of never-ending The spirit of admitting defeat.

"Not one?" Chen Weijie and You Ningsheng both frowned.

"Yeah! There isn't one, and now I have a headache!" Li Yi said with a wry smile.

"Actually, it's not surprising. After all, you have too high demands on Brother Ma, and actors of this age in Hong Kong Island are either not suitable or have always been green leaves. Brother Ma is in the movie, although he is not a boy. No. [-], but it is definitely not a green leaf. They are indeed a little bit off the hook." You Ningsheng sighed.

Brother Xiao Ma can be said to be definitely the most special number one in film history.

The male protagonist of the movie has actually been fixed since the script came out.

In "The True Colors of a Hero", it can be said that Song Zihao is the absolute number one male, followed by Song Zijie, and then Xiao Ma.

As far as Fan Wei is concerned, even if Xiao Ma can instantly kill the Song brothers in terms of popularity, in fact, Fan Wei is indeed behind them.

How do you decide the rank?Because of the role?

In fact, it really is not!
In Li Yi's view, the background of Fanwei should revolve around the story.

Why is Song Zihao doing something?
The first is because he is the eldest brother, and the second is because he is the starting point and core point of the whole story.

It can be said that the whole story revolves around Song Zihao.

Of course, "Fanwei" is an imported word, which originated from the island country, and its interpretation is the order in which actors appear in film and television dramas and promotional materials.

Generally speaking, "fan positions" are ranked according to the influence of the actors, and it has nothing to do with the actual proportion of the actors in the film.Therefore, those well-known actors who do not play important roles can be ranked first in the promotion.In addition, special appearances are not included in the series, and are not counted in the series.

But from the actual situation, most of the time it is not the case.

Because generally speaking, more influential and well-known actors must have more roles.

Brother Xiao Ma's position in the movie has never been the core.

Because in the whole movie, the real biggest contradiction lies in the relationship between soldiers and thieves. "Gangsters and police" are the direct cause of the breakup of the Song brothers, and the death of Song's father is the root cause of their breakup.After the death of Song's father, Song Zijie, a big boy who was originally innocent and sunny, instantly grew into a radical police officer who hated evil and hated everything, black and white.This rift and estrangement at the cost of the blood of their loved ones pushed the Song brothers' feelings into a bottomless abyss.Therefore, the only way to resolve the deep hatred and contradictions is to repay at the price of blood.

It can be said that the plot of the whole movie has already been decided to death, male number one and male number two.

So what is the position of Xiao Ma?
It's another kind of brother, Song Zihao and Song Zijie are brothers, and Brother Xiao Ma and Song Zihao are brothers in a broad sense.

In fact, the core of the development of the movie's plot, whether it starts from the theme of the movie or the three protagonists as the center, finally points to the reconciliation of the Song brothers as a sublimation.How can forgiveness be obtained?How to let go of the grudges and truly reunite?Only Brother Xiao Ma, from this aspect, the importance of Brother Xiao Ma is self-evident, but it is still not enough for him to be promoted to the No. A brotherly man dies.Before his death, Brother Xiaoma entrusted him with the hope that the Song brothers would be reconciled.This act of risking his life to protect the two not only shocked Song Zihao, but also made Song Zijie finally let go of his old prejudice against his brother.

The core focus is still on the Song brothers!

But Xiao Ma's success is inevitable.

Just as Xiao Ma's death is inevitable, although this character is not the number one actor, he is the most tragic protagonist in the whole movie.

In a narrow sense, Uncle Jian, the big brother of the taxi company in the movie, said: "Once you get involved in the underworld, it will be troublesome in your life." In addition to showing the loyalty and friendship between men, the theme of the movie is also interpreting "" If you come out to mess around, you will have to pay back sooner or later.”

Brother Hao has been in prison for several years since he was betrayed, and he has become ideologically enlightened.Because he was a gangster alone, his father also died unexpectedly, and he turned against his younger brother Ajie.Just because he was a gangster, he couldn't feel the warmth of home.Brother Hao has reformed himself, left the rivers and lakes, not being a big brother, driving honestly, and wants to live an ordinary but peaceful life.

However, Xiao Ma is different. Putting aside his brotherly loyalty, Xiao Ma is actually obsessed with fame, fortune and power, and wants to get back what he has lost.This sentence was very domineering when it was said, but someone thought that what he lost should not belong to him.Everything he obtained through evil forces and illegal activities should not be his.Therefore, he has not changed, and he is still nostalgic for the glorious days in the underworld, so his ending must be tragic.

At the same time, it is also because of the loyalty of the brothers, success is also loyalty, and failure is also loyalty.Brother Xiao Ma became popular in the underworld because of his loyalty, and he also lost his life because of his loyalty.Originally, he could take the money and leave, but he couldn't let Brother Hao go, so he killed him again. This time, he left forever.If it wasn't for loyalty, Xiao Ma should be fine.

If you put aside other things, in fact, people like Xiao Ma are very scary.

Brother Hao wanted to quit but couldn't, it was the helplessness of life.And Brother Xiao Ma never thought of quitting, as long as he has a breath, he will never accept his fate; as long as he has the slightest chance, he will strive to be the best and never die.

Just like Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms, people commented like this: Without experiencing ups and downs, it is difficult to understand how a 45-year-old self-made man who has achieved nothing maintains the ambition of never being willing to be inferior to others.

"If you don't give up, you will never be inferior." That's why Cao Cao regarded him as the greatest enemy in his life!
At the same time, it also has a lot to do with the lineup of "The True Colors of Heroes" at that time. The actors and director of this movie can be said to be holding their breath at the time. A man's loss, depression, anger, and unwillingness are vividly expressed in this movie. This is the reason why Little Ma can become a screen classic. It has nothing to do with whether he dies or not, but because he is Little Ma, he must die if the movie story is to end.

"Ahem, actually I have a candidate here!" Chen Weijie said suddenly.

Everyone, including Li Yi, looked at Chen Weijie with some doubts.

Before asking Chen Weijie to recommend it, he said that he didn't think of anyone suitable for this role, but now he suddenly said that there is a suitable candidate.

"Who?" Li Yi and You Ningsheng both asked.

"How should I put it? In fact, what kind of character is this character, what kind of requirements does it have, and what should it be like? The person who knows it best is Xiao Yi, right?" Chen Weijie asked with a smile.

Li Yi nodded.

"That's it. Now you feel that you can't find a suitable actor. It should be far from the little brother you set or expected. You think they can't perform the feeling you want, so why not Take a step back?" Chen Weijie said with a smile.

"Take a step back? Relax the requirements?" Li Yi couldn't help frowning.
