After the script of Murder with a Borrowing Knife has been revised many times, the structure of the story has changed. The scene chosen by Lance can be seen as a crucial turning point in the whole story.

Before that, Vincent had always held the initiative and suppressed Max, and the only resistance Max could make was to throw Vincent's briefcase under the bridge, like a fifth-grade child But after this scene, Max was forced to the extreme, and he was at a disadvantage in physical confrontation, but his strong mental strength allowed him to gradually regain the initiative. Facing the oppression of a professional killer, for For Max, who is just an ordinary taxi driver, this is obviously not an easy task, but at least he has found a starting point.

In short, it was the moment when Lance's left hand and right hand collided during the demonstration just now, and the situation was reversed.

The background of this scene is that Max destroyed Vincent's briefcase, resulting in the loss of Vincent's kill list, and he still failed to kill two mission targets. Therefore, Vincent had to find the instigator again and obtain the information of the last two mission objects. However, since Vincent never had direct contact with the client—to avoid his true face being exposed, so, in Vincent's Under the threat, Max had to pretend to be Vincent and have a face-to-face conversation with Felix, the instigator behind the scenes.

This scene is the confrontation between Max and the behind-the-scenes messenger Felix. Once Felix sees through Max's disguise, what awaits him is death. This is a wild dance of life on the tip of a flaming knife.

Although this scene is not the most difficult scene for Max, it can be said to be the most explosive scene in the whole film. In the story of Murder with a Borrowed Knife, the confrontation scenes between Max and Vincent are the most difficult and challenging scenes. The subtle changes in the heart and the tense confrontation atmosphere are extremely demanding for actors.

But Lance clearly knew that the four people in front of him were not acting experts, and they couldn't see the powerful energy contained in the performance of the ingenious, epee without sharpness-and this also required the cooperation of the opponent's actors. Their criteria for judging acting skills are more explosive. For example, sadness hits the heart, panic to pieces, fear breaking the line of defense, the kind of clips that burst out all emotions are often more shocking.

Therefore, Lance chose this scene-tailored according to the four people in front of him.

On the surface, Lance is calm and composed, as if he doesn't need any preparation at all, and every scene comes at his fingertips, but anyone who has any experience in acting knows that this is impossible. Even if Lance wrote the script of Murder with a Borrowed Knife, the memory of the details of the lines and the emotional changes still need to be reawakened, not to mention that the performance is the top priority.

Therefore, Lance asked Wade to familiarize himself with the lines, which is also to buy himself more preparation time. He is trying to let himself enter Max's world.

At this time, time is very tight, and it is impossible for Lance to seriously prepare. What's more, it has been too long since the last performance, as if a century has passed, and everything about the performance has become extremely unfamiliar and incomparable. Far away and extremely cold. However, Lance quickly calmed down after performing on-the-spot off-Broadway in the previous life and experiencing unexpected performances. After his blood boiled to the extreme, he calmed down, just like magma, and the slowly flowing calm water hides The huge energy, those passions that he thought had disappeared made his limbs relax like never before, those memories that he thought had faded completely calmed down his emotions, and those dreams that he thought had collapsed made his mind highly concentrated.

So strange, yet so familiar.

Max is just an ordinary citizen of Xiaojing. He drives a taxi conscientiously. When he realized that his passenger was a cold-blooded killer, fear and panic almost made him collapse on the spot. The trembling of his life hanging by a thread was like an octopus, grabbing his heart fiercely, even Breathing almost stopped. He wants to run away, like a coward, like an ordinary person, turn around and run away, he is not a hero, he has no underwear/pants and cape for transformation, the only thing he can do is to let himself live.

But what about after the escape failed? He forced himself to calm down, but it was obviously not an easy task, so he began to repel, start to be angry, start to hate, and even started to resist childishly. Even so, Vincent was still unwilling to let him go, and Vincent pushed him to the edge of the cliff again - Felix is ​​not Vincent, Vincent still needs him to continue to drive a taxi and drive him to the city At least he has a little use for Vincent; but Felix doesn't need it, he is a cold-blooded and cruel gangster who regards life as nothing, and a little mistake can make him fall into the trap. into the abyss, into darkness.

The terrified fear made his legs start to tremble, even though he tried to pretend to be calm, his body refused to obey; the cynical disgust made his heart like a dead leaf in the bleak autumn wind, and the initiative was completely gone own hands. Longing for life, anger towards Vincent, fear and rejection towards Felix... All emotions collided in his chest, breaking his defenses and also breaking his reason.

Vincent only sees those in Kelia, but he won't meet you in person. Wade didn't give Lance too much chance to react, he just glanced at the lines, and then spoke directly. He's not doing charity, since Lance has handed over the initiative, he doesn't mind being the executioner at all-he never thinks that Lance is qualified to play opposite Tom. Okay, now you're here. Why?

Lance raised his eyes and didn't start performing right away. Instead, he showed a shallow smile. His eyes glanced at Peter, Shirley, and Wade one by one. He could clearly see the tolerance and enthusiasm in their eyes. Considerate, not because they are full of hope, but because of pity-as if they saw the sympathy when the condemned prisoner stood on the gallows.

Wade had already begun to speak his lines, but Lance was still not ready, so the audition was a total disaster. However, Shirley didn't think about it, Wade barely left Lance with time to prepare; she could only see Lance's panic and slowness, which also meant that Lance's hope was being extinguished bit by bit.

Sometimes, appreciating a death penalty is even more magnificent than the ebb and flow of the tide and the rising and setting of the sun.

Lance's eyes finally fell on Brad, and he lowered his voice, Can you lend me your glasses? Brad couldn't help but took out the glasses from his suit jacket pocket, Handed it to Lance. These are a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which are very suitable for Brad's age, but they are not suitable for Lance, but Lance still puts his head down and puts on the glasses.

Lance was not short-sighted. After putting on the glasses, he couldn't help feeling a little dizzy, but luckily it wasn't very serious.

Wade was getting a little impatient. Lance's actions seemed to him to be dying, and it was unnecessary. He squinted at Shirley and Peter, temporarily suppressed the irritability in his heart, and raised his voice again, Why? seemed to be reminding Lance: It's your turn to play.

Then, Wade saw Lance move his gums somewhat uneasily, the slightly trembling jaw and the Adam's apple that rolled with saliva revealed his panic, and even his breathing began to become short, and he could clearly see him using He took a deep breath through his nose, and even his body trembled slightly back and forth uncontrollably. The unprepared panic, oppressive and chaotic slowly permeated his vision.

This made Wade couldn't help but sneered in his heart. Before that, he thought Lance was a character, calm enough. But now it seems that he still overestimated after all, just this moment of panic has completely destroyed Lance's previous image during the negotiation process.

Wade saw Lance slowly raise his eyes. Those azure blue eyes were hidden behind the thick lenses of the gold-rimmed glasses, covered with a layer of mist, and the terrified pupils looked calmly. He turned towards Wade, but the trembling and shrinking in the deep blue was like a bison hidden in the thick fog. The looming silhouette disturbed the fog, as if he could see some movement, but he couldn't be sure.

This is not Lance.

Wade felt his heart suddenly constricted. The man in front of him was definitely not Lance. Although he was still in a suit and leather shoes, and although he was still neat and tidy, all the aura in his body was restrained, and the dazzling light was completely hidden. Under the pair of glasses, ordinary and ordinary, even the lines of the tough face became blurred. At this time, Lance was thrown into a gathering of hundreds of people, and no one would notice even if he was standing in the middle , The temperament of the whole person has undergone an earth-shaking change.

Wade couldn't believe his eyes. The person in front of him was obviously Lance, but it wasn't Lance. The weird feeling grabbed his throat in an instant, and he felt goose bumps all over his back. But he couldn't even shudder, only his muscles were gradually becoming stiff.

I'm missing something. Lance said, the voice seemed to come from the depths of his throat, light and without any weight, and it even made people suspect that the ending was about to be swallowed, the cautious and imminent Fear was hidden in the slurred voice. If you close your eyes, this seems to be another person.

Then, you can vaguely hear the sound of teeth colliding lightly, not the kind of teeth fighting up and down because of fear, but the kind of resolutely clenching your teeth, the pressure to force yourself to be calm and force yourself to be strong permeates the air Come, but when the voice spilled out of the lips again, there was still not much change, That list. Like a wisp of green smoke, it disperses as soon as you blow it.

This, not Lance; this is Max.
