Chapter 134 Trial and Error
Generally, movies with the protagonist as the perspective have high requirements for the logic of the script.

Because a movie is built on conflict, and conflict generally stems from the protagonist's choice.

In the 90-minute movie, the main character has to go through big and small choices.

In these choices, it is difficult for the protagonist to maintain integrity from beginning to end. Some scripts even use characters that are contrary to the protagonist to forcibly promote the development of the plot in order to create conflicts, and then will follow the protagonist’s consciousness from the beginning. diluted step by step.

According to Eric Edson's "Story Theory," there are generally six types of contact roles for protagonists.

Rivals, partners, love interests, mentors, border guards and other allies.

The main character can be compared to a hexagon, each face is connected to other characters.

Unlike the protagonist who can see everything at a glance, each supporting role only shows one side that intersects with the protagonist.

Because of the lack of presentation of the other five sides, it is inevitable that there will be a contrast bias in the audience's perspective.

For example, the role of Lin Kun in this play.

In previous movies of the same theme, the villain leader has always been ruthless, cold-blooded and ruthless, with a chic demeanor that leaves no leaf on his body among thousands of flowers.

But among the disciples, the role of screenwriter Lin Kun is more life-like.

He loved his family and chose to commit suicide for his unborn child; he did not take drugs or even smoke, and those addicts were the existence he hated the most; for Ali, he also showed his support and trust.

He is loyal, smart, logical, and capable.The only hobby is to eat sugar, and I have diabetes.

It can be said that compared to the hesitant Ali, this character is more plump and three-dimensional.

In the whole play, the role of Lin Kun is also the most outstanding one.

Liu Dehua knew it, so he mentioned it when he invited Ji Yun.

The protagonist of this movie can be changed, but the role of Lin Kun must not be changed.

He is the star of the whole movie.

In the selection of the Academy Awards, Liu Dehua won the honor of Best Actor twice.

"Big Man with Great Wisdom" and "Dark War".

But he hasn't won the award for Best Supporting Actor yet, and this "Disciple" is his most powerful competition choice for Best Supporting Actor.

Rather than saying that Liu Dehua is supporting Ji Yun, it is better to say that Ji Yun is setting up the stage for Liu Dehua.

As the pros and cons, Ji Yun and Liu Dehua have many opponents in this drama.

Without exception, Liu Dehua has the upper hand in terms of performance and plot tension.

For example, Ali and Lin Kun are discussing why people take drugs.

"I really don't understand, what is there to smoke when the cigarette smells so bad?"

In the play, Lin Kun is the head of the drug business, and the people he buys are the type of people he despises the most.

Ji Yun's eyes flickered, and he asked cautiously: "Why do people take drugs?"

"Oh, I don't know, and I don't want to know. Business is all about supply and demand. If someone buys, someone will sell. Smoking can also cause cancer. Isn't it the same as someone smoking?"

Liu Dehua acted helplessly, deceiving himself and others.

As if being a drug dealer was through no fault of his.

Of course he knew that he was heinous, but he was still exonerating himself, as if he was explaining to Ji Yun, or looking for some psychological comfort for himself.

He felt that he hadn't said enough, so he shot out his words like a cannonball.

"Am I promoting it? No! It's not that I forced them, I didn't force them! What's none of my business? It's all their own fault, all their own fault!"

He stared closely at Ji Yun's eyes, as if he wanted to gain some affirmation in his eyes.

His confidence was a bit lacking. Although his voice was getting louder, it couldn't cover up his guilty conscience at this time.

Although he said it in a high-sounding way, the more he said it, the more it showed that he had a ghost in his heart.

Ji Yun was dumbfounded, apparently the view of good and evil in his heart did not support his approval of Lin Kun's behavior at the moment.

Liu Dehua didn't get any response from the other party's eyes, he sighed helplessly.

"What? Met a drug addict?" He changed the subject abruptly.

"No, I'm curious."

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Ji Yun's face.

"Those who take drugs are the best at pretending to be pitiful. Once they become addicted, they can't do anything! Don't get involved with these people, otherwise you will think that you have done something wrong, as if you have harmed them. They are all to blame! They don't take drugs. What we can do is simply to blame themselves."

He was already incoherent, and once again threw all the faults on those people, turning around with some anxiety.

As if this can escape the condemnation of the heart.

"Why is it so hot?"

"Why am I angry?" Liu Dehua's eyes widened suddenly, "It's not their fault? How can I be angry!"

"Jingle bell~"

When the phone rang, Liu Dehua's eyes flashed a glimmer of joy.

He hurriedly picked up the phone, "No, I'll find someone to solve it."

Putting down the phone, he tremblingly lifted the water glass, and kept muttering, "Someday I'll add some rat poison to kill those bastards."

"Card!"

After filming, Liu Dehua ran to the monitor like a gust of wind.

He looked at his performance just now without blinking his eyes.

"One more."

This scene is all close-ups of himself. In his opinion, the control of the details just now is still a bit inadequate.

Er Dongsheng clicked his tongue, "It's less three-dimensional. As a boss, you can't just show your flustered side in front of your younger brother."

Liu Dehua nodded thoughtfully. The previous performances of Zhang Jingchu and Ji Yun had ignited his fighting spirit. In this performance, he will definitely strive for perfection in his performance.

Buffett said: You don't know who's swimming naked until the tide goes out.

This sentence can be placed not only in the stock market, but also in the entertainment industry.

Competent actors are more likely to stand the test of time.

Little Fresh Meat became popular one after another, and Liu Dehua was still the king of heaven.

When filming "Killing", he was reminded by Ma Jingwu, "Actors do not eat youth food. Only by maintaining a consistent enthusiasm for performance can you become an evergreen tree in this industry."

This sentence is suitable for Liu Dehua.

At this moment, he seems to be a beginner, using the simplest way to keep trial and error, and constantly approaching the director's request.

In every reopening, you can clearly find the layering of his performance.

From pure panic, to mixed with a little self-blame, to fear and hidden deep shame.

21 times.

Although it is a simple dialogue scene, after 21 attempts, his body is already covered in sweat.

I don't know how many times he has touched up his makeup, but his enthusiasm has not diminished.

He sat on the plastic stool and repeated the line that he did not know how many times he repeated.

"I really don't understand, what is there to smoke when the cigarette smells so bad?"

Ji Yun stood opposite him, and at this moment he could clearly feel that the other party had already understood this role thoroughly.
