I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 83, He seems to understand the script better than me!

until one day.

My father’s former boss told me.

Let me go undercover in the police force and he will clean my file.

One will be a million bones.

For the boss.

For the sake of "righteousness".

One day I was finally able to walk out of this dark and narrow Temple Street.

But it's not the way I want.

At least, not the way I want it right now.

I felt a little repulsive about this change, perhaps because I was afraid that I would be living a completely different way of life than in the first half of my life.

I have lived in this rotten street for more than ten years and have become accustomed to the decay and stench here. You want me to live under the sun?
It's just that I don't have any choice.

Whatever the boss says is the case, then it is the case.

"My impression of him has improved a lot. No matter what, we have to see what he is willing to do to complete the script."

At this time, Mai Zhaohui actually appreciated Li Xuan's approach.

+1 for my favorable impression of this young person from mainland China.

Although, from his point of view, Li Xuan is indeed more like a stand-in who is doing favors, but just as Liu Weiqiang said, he is indeed not without advantages. With his highly plastic appearance, he does not need to confine the character's temperament to a ruffian or gangster feeling. In a sense, the upper limit of his interpretation of the role is higher than that of Chen Guanxi, but the lower limit may be lower.

As a screenwriter, he doesn't know how else to express this character besides being a ruffian and a gangster.
Mainly as a screenwriter, the focus of the character creation is on Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren after middle age.

Both the young Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming are in a transitional stage.

"Okay, let's get him out to film. Filming isn't just about talking about it on paper. Just writing a short essay isn't enough. Take, for example, Yu Wenle who watches Tony Leung Chiu-wai every day just to imitate Chen Yongren. I think his efforts will be more effective."

Liu Weiqiang feels that following the feelings of his predecessors should be more helpful for the role.

Yu Wenle achieved the first place in imitating Tony Leung Chiu-wai. As we all know, Tony Leung Chiu-wai's eyes are the sharpest carving knives and a natural talent.

That melancholy look made countless girls melt in emotion.

The fact that Yu Wenle can imitate something 30% similar is already a great advantage.

Next it was time for the actual filming, and Andy Lau came over specially to cheer up his younger self.

What he likes most is to encourage the younger generation.

Especially since this person is a junior whom he recommended internally.

He can be a murderer.

I just don’t know if Liu Jianming can do it.

However, he was not so worried about Li Xuan's performance. As long as he could show the ruthlessness in the character's characteristics, the character would be complete enough.

Even if we take a step back, if he plays the role like Sun Guo, there will be no big mistake. This is one of the reasons why he recommended Li Xuan to come. Even if we take a step back, there will be no failure.

This is where King Liu is so confident.

Then when several people saw Li Xuan, he had just walked out of the cosmetics store.

At that moment, all three of them were stunned.

Who is this person?

He actually has the same face as Li Xuan, but his eyes, temperament, even micro-movements and habits are like a completely different person.

Like a wolf.

A wolf ready to devour bones and eat flesh in a world where the strong prey on the weak.

Not at all.

The shadow of the actor named Li Xuan.

at this time.

His name is Liu Jianming.

The thugs from Temple Street.

Ruffian, hooligan.

Underworld.

"Have you already entered the role?" Director Liu Wenqiang was still a little slow to react. Apart from anything else, based on his many years of experience in the industry, this was the first time he had seen someone enter the role at such a speed. He had worked with some veteran Hong Kong actors before, and generally speaking, entering the role is a process. Unless one is extremely familiar with the role, one can enter the role so smoothly.

Now Li Xuan completely skipped this process.

When we first found him, he was no longer Li Xuan, but Liu Jianming.

wrong.

Didn’t he just get the script yesterday?
Can you get into the role so quickly?
"Five years ago, there was no parking stall next to the Queen's Restaurant in Tai Hing Village, Tuen Mun. My brothers and I were full of ambition when we opened our restaurant. Who knew within half a month of opening, we would be raided 1.3 times a day on average, and six of our brothers died within a year?"

"The fortune teller said that I am a general whose success is built on the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers."

"But I disagree. I believe that if you're a gangster, you have to decide whether to live or die. You've been with me the shortest, and your records are the cleanest. So, what path do you want to take? I'll let you decide for yourself. Well, I wish you all the best in the police department."

"Cheers, officers."

The gangster Han Chen gave a passionate speech about brotherhood and community loyalty in front of Guan Yu's temple, which was really misleading.

I am not doing this for my own benefit, but for my brothers in the society. I want to avenge them, so I asked you to be undercover.

It’s not for my Penji, my Lion Rock house, or my rights. I do this for my brothers!

One shot to the end, Zeng Zhiwei's gold content...
It is said that the highest level of deception is to deceive yourself. At this moment, Han Chen was so passionate and generous that he almost moved himself to death with what he said.

My subordinates were also very moved. Brothers, there is nothing more to say. I drank a glass of wine in front of Guan Yu and devoted my whole life to the society.

"Drink!" "Cheers!"

This scene was completed completely smoothly and fluently. He was not afraid of the camera being directly pointed at his face. All the flaws and advantages were presented.

That's what movies are about.

There are a lot of close-up shots, and they are presented on the big screen, so both the advantages and disadvantages can be infinitely magnified.

Of course, there is another difference between movies and TV series.

Movies are at most two hours long, while each episode of a TV series is forty minutes long, and there are often forty or fifty episodes. It goes without saying how difficult it is to keep the two in good condition.

At this time, Zeng Zhiwei looked around at his younger brothers. His aura was completely overwhelming. It could be seen from the language of the camera that he was the complete superior and controller.

Although he is short, he has such an aura.

Domineering.

It's acting and aura.

He is short and has a round head, but he is the tallest one at the scene.

However, in the same frame, there is a person who fits in perfectly and captures his aura, unlike the other extras who are just there to make up the numbers.

He himself is this scene, second only to Han Chen in the shot.

His name is Liu Jianming.

Zeng Zhiwei also noticed this mainland boy. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes. It seemed that he had been a gangster for more than ten years, and now he was asked to be a policeman. This feeling of discomfort made him confused.

But in that discomfort and confusion.

There is also a kind of unwillingness and ambition?
It's not that he is unwilling to be an undercover police officer, but that he is unwilling to be unwilling to his current situation.

Reluctant and confused, but also resolute, he had no objection to Han Chen's decision.

The emotions in those young eyes could not be concealed at all.

Zeng Zhiwei at this moment.

No, Han Chen.

Just know.

This kid can accomplish things.

At first glance, Zeng Zhiwei, as Han Chen, knew who to allocate resources to and who to support to take the top position.
Who is Liu Jianming?

A gangster who has been a small-time scoundrel for more than ten years, suddenly his boss tells you that you will have to change your lifestyle and your philosophy of survival. The way of survival you have relied on for a long time will no longer be useful.

Will you feel confused?
Yes, and a lot.

Liu Jianming's reaction in front of him was very appropriate. He just had that little bit of confusion.

Of course, it's only three points.

One point more is too much, one point less is too little. A completely confused person cannot be an inspector.
Now, it just happens.

"This guy is so natural at portraying characters. When I'm acting with him, I can't feel any other distractions at all. It's so pure."

Zeng Zhiwei's evaluation of Li Xuan was neither good nor bad, he just said that his acting was quite natural.

It was as if there was really a person standing in front of me.

A young man named Liu Jianming.

When filming this part, even the dullest person should know that the person recommended by Andy Lau is not a paper tiger, but a real capable person.

The performance is so natural that even when he is in the same frame with Eric Tsang, he is not too far behind. Or it can be said that it is normal to be at a disadvantage when he is in the same frame with Eric Tsang in this shot.

Because there is a difference in their status, Han Chen is the boss and Liu Jianming is the younger brother.

It’s just the sense of harmony when they are in the same frame.

It made Zeng Zhiwei feel that he was not acting opposite a new generation of actors.

Oh no, it doesn’t look like a scene.

Like. And Liu Jianming himself is against Lei.

He is not Li Xuan.

He is not from mainland China, but a native of Temple Street, named Liu Jianming.

At this time, Zeng Zhiwei was confused.

I am praising Mai Zhaohui for his excellent script. He has done such a detailed job in setting up the transition characters in a few shots. It's really amazing.

Mak Siu Fai: Ah? Me?
I really didn’t play any role!

Even Mai Zhaohui was scratching his head in shock at this moment, and was still a little confused after watching Liu Weiqiang finish filming. Is this the character Liu Jianming that I wrote?

That's not right.

I didn’t think so much about it at the time.

I just gave him a character, a small-time scoundrel living in Temple Street, and that was all.

In this way, Li Xuan was forced to complete the current situation.

At this time, Mai Zhaohui and Liu Weiqiang looked at each other. The two main creators knew that the young Liu Jianming's script only had one line, and the rest depended entirely on his own performance.

No one understands scripts better than me!
This is what Mai Zhaohui originally thought, but now he feels guilty.

At least this Liu Jianming.

This mainland guy should understand better than him.

And yesterday, Li Xuan seemed to be "pretending" to write a short biography of the character.

Now it seems that he is not just pretending.
