muscle actor

Chapter 280
To say that Fatty Yu is also a ruthless character, and has maintained a cooperative relationship with most of the outstanding directors after many years of intensive cultivation. It can be said that Bona's golden signature is all due to the country built by co-productions.

The other party is a native of Hong Kong Island, but his Mandarin is very good, and he even worked as a Mandarin dubbing actor.

I have also been practicing Cantonese systematically during this time, and there is basically no problem in communication. Of course, it depends on the director's arrangement. After all, it is a co-production, and the mainland market accounts for the majority.

"In my opinion, the idea of ​​this script comes from at least three films." Ding Cheng did his homework and analyzed: "The first film should be "Rose with Tears" played by Xie Xian, which tells the friendship between two painters. One succeeds, one fails."

"The successful one helped the unsuccessful friend to hold an art exhibition, and later the friend also succeeded, but the two broke up because of robbing his girlfriend, and finally the unsuccessful friend found out that all his paintings were bought by the successful friend."

"The second one is "Stealing the Dragon and Turning the Phoenix". In the delicate design of the plot, the value judgments of true and false become ambiguous."

"As for the storytelling, it's very similar to "The Usual Suspects"!"

Zhuang Wenqiang laughed and admired Ding Cheng's professional attitude. An actor must have his own thinking in order to make the role more brilliant.

"It's not just that..." Pointing to the storyboard, he explained one by one: "There is a constant sound of trains outside the house where you and Zhang Jingchu live at the beginning of the film, which is a tribute to "Autumn Fairy Tale"..."

"The scene of the female police officer smoking is from the scene of "Zhiming and Chunjiao". I also wanted to deliberately make a reflective effect..."

"The scene where you are on the bed in the hotel at the end of the film is based on the way I dealt with the aftermath of the Chen Huimin movie "Ballroom" I watched when I was a child..."

"The scene where Fa Ge lifts up his clothes with both hands to reveal the bomb is exactly the same as in "A Better Tomorrow 2"..."

"Fei Tiao shoots with two guns, that's a classic scene from "Hot Detective"..."

"The plot to avenge my father is in "A Better Tomorrow 3: Song of the Sunset"!"

Ding Cheng looked at the director who talked eloquently. Zhuang Wenqiang and Lin Chaoxian represented two ways out for local directors to go north: the latter used the Hong Kong island industry to shoot themes that the mainland market liked, while he used the social differences between the two places to exert his strength in the world. , the result of taking a wrong approach.

"I like Tarantino's style very much. His first movie "Reservoir Dogs" deconstructed the entire "Dragon and Tiger" clearly, so deconstruction is a method that our generation likes very much. It is fun and profitable. How nice."

Compared with Du Qifeng's conceit and Lin Chaoxian's silence, I have to say that Zhuang Wenqiang is a suitable person for chatting.

"At that time, after filming "Infernal Affairs", I wanted to find another crime theme. I was surprised to find a lot of cases about making counterfeit banknotes. Watching the process of those people making counterfeit banknotes felt very similar to making a movie."

"Because we are all cheating, and what we are after is how to make the fake very real, right?"

"Do you know what a super dollar bill is? It is a perfect product that even the people in charge of the U.S. central bank can't tell whether it is true or not. In their eyes, this is a work of art."

Ding Cheng asked with a smile: "How did you convince Brother Fa to leave the mountain?"

"I remember that the day I handed the script to Fa Ge was Valentine's Day, February 17, 2. The day before, I called Fa's sister-in-law and told her that she could send the script to their office and give her an office address. I didn't have it at the time. look carefully."

"The next day I drove to find it according to the electronic map, but do you know where the car went?"

"It's at the place where I bought flowers yesterday. It turns out that Brother Fa's office is upstairs."

Zhuang Wenqiang said with a smile: "Actually, Fa Ge and I have never known each other, and I am not sure that he will act. I went there with the mentality of meeting an idol. But he read the script, and the next day he called me to discuss the script."

"After talking all afternoon, the last thing I said to me was: Why did you come to me now?"

"At that time, I really didn't know how to answer, so I could only bite the bullet and say that it was because you were hard to find!"

"He asked again: If you don't want me, who do you want to play?"

"I said I never thought about it. It's just a chance to find you. If you don't agree, then think of other ways."

"Guess what Brother Fa said?"

"He said that only I can play this, why?"

"Because you are writing about Chow Yun Fat, who else can you find besides me?"

Zhuang Wenqiang scratched his forehead and couldn't help but lament the wonder of fate. After going around for so many years, it turned out that he was waiting for you there.

"Then I was looking for your character. When I was writing the script, I always imagined him to be in his 20s. But after I finished writing, I realized that this role requires a very high technical level in acting. At that time, I really couldn't think of anyone who could do it. play?"

"Until you appeared, especially after watching Blizzard Is Coming, I felt like you were him in the movie. The traits of Fa Ge are exactly the same as Yin and Yang, and they match up very nicely."

"A relatively weak person, a painter whose talent is underappreciated, finds out that his talent turns out to be a talent for painting fake paintings. Isn't life tragic enough?"

"It's even more unexpected that Bole came to him, full of expectations, and the result was to let him paint another fake painting. That can be said to be a tragedy among tragedies!"

Ding Cheng listened attentively, comprehended the director's intentions, and enriched the character's inner world.

After joining the counterfeit banknote group with no choice but to do so, I originally thought it was a very professional and safe criminal gang. All I had to do was draw counterfeit banknotes, but I didn't expect that it was actually a gang of tough criminals.

They have to go through life and death every day, and even kill people.For the character, it means walking down step by step from a very calm state, with a sense of powerlessness that is deep in the quagmire and cannot be extricated from.

"The counterfeiters are all new immigrants from the United States. The reason why they make counterfeit banknotes has nothing to do with their backgrounds. Instead, it is really a pursuit of art."

"It turns out that they are all doing art, and you can even see the once glorious side, but of course there is the dilapidated side. These are very attractive dramatic contradictions."

"If you make a work of art, what do you want people to see the most?"

"What you want people to see is not you, but the feeling and state expressed through the works, or the information conveyed through the works!"

"This guy makes a banknote look like real. He doesn't need you to know he exists, as long as you like his work."

One sentence made Ding Cheng suddenly realize, and instantly captured the core emotional fulcrum of the character, and the whole person seemed to stand up.

Seeing Ding Cheng's changes, Zhuang Wenqiang was very satisfied, this is the actor's talent and savvy.

As long as you find the meaning of the character's existence, you can immediately enter the play and enter the state as soon as possible. As for the lines and so on, it is a piece of cake.

He stood up, took out a thick document, and showed it: "Most of it was originally confidential information. After many generations of US dollar anti-counterfeiting technology improvements, it is no longer possible to use the previous method to make counterfeit US dollars, so the Interpol The information on those cases is on the Internet.”

"At that time, about 0.05% of the U.S. dollars circulating around the world were counterfeit. This sounds like a small number. Do you know how much money was circulating every day?"

"More than 40 trillion!"

"The most amazing thing is that the criminals haven't stopped printing counterfeit banknotes when they are fleeing. They were still printing when they were caught. Two trillion dollars!"

Looking at the information, Ding Cheng was dumbfounded, what the fuck, it's awesome!
"Actually, people in this business are very disciplined. First of all, they will not spend the fake US dollars they make. After printing, they will be sold to other buyers. They will not ask how others use them."

"The second is that you will never easily let others join your gang. Therefore, the team is very closed. The painter is the painter, the printer is the printer, the transporter is the transporter, and the security guard is just the security guard. The division of labor for each role is very clear. .”

"Only by maintaining an absolutely closed state can we ensure safety. Fa Ge's character has been doing this for three generations and has never been caught. This is the reason."
