Wow~~~
Opening the curtains and letting the sunlight shine in, Zhang Chu closed his eyes and took a while to adapt.
For three days in a row, Zhang Chu read the script, which was not too long, and wrote tens of thousands of words of character notes and plot analysis.
Zhang Chu has acted in many movies, but he has never taken a role so seriously.
Chen Yongren.
The sheep in hell.
A poor man who just wants to be a good policeman.
He was labeled a "bad guy" since he was born, but he has always been a good guy with a sunny heart.
Everything about him is complex and contradictory.
Why is he so determined to become a police officer?
This is the key to understanding Chen Yongren.
There were so many choices, but he was obsessed with being a police officer.
And all this stems from Chen Yongren's hatred for his father.
The reason for hatred is definitely not just because he failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father and felt sorry for his mother.
It's because of all the negative effects that his father's existence has brought to Chen Yongren.
Even though it is not told in the script, you can almost imagine how Chen Yongren's childhood went.
"Don't play with that child, his father is a black man", "Stay away from that child, his father is a bad person".
Scenes like this must have accompanied Chen Yongren in his childhood, and caused him irreparable harm every moment.
Chen Yongren's greatest hatred and greatest trauma for his father in his life is the "bad guy" label that his father gave him.
That's why Chen Yongren tried so hard to distance himself from his father, almost going crazy to drive away all the darkness, because he was fed up with the life shrouded in darkness.
However, just after Chen Yongren was admitted to the police academy, he failed to see the light he expected.
The ostensible reason was that Chen Yongren was undisciplined during training, but in fact the police used Chen Yongren's life experience to send him to work as an undercover agent in a criminal group.
Being misunderstood, rejected, and distanced by people around him, and enduring all the grievances, Chen Yongren still has a bright heart.
He always remembers that he is a policeman and does his best to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors.
But how can you be alone among wolves?
His long undercover career has transformed Chen Yongren from a high-spirited young man into a haggard and tired middle-aged man.
Chen Yongren has experienced this kind of pain for nearly ten years, but as a person walking in the intersection of black and white, he has no choice. Loneliness is his only friend.
Chen Yongren is very capable, and he has become one of Han Chen's most trusted subordinates.
This is his success as an undercover agent, but it is his failure in being himself.
It's not easy to train such an outstanding undercover agent.
Therefore, Chen Yongren's life will always be contrary to "benevolence".
The better you do what you don't want to do, the harder it will be to get out of it, but he has no choice.
If he doesn't do well, there may be only one ending.
Huang Zhicheng, who originally chose Chen Yongren, betrayed his promise.
From the agreed three years to nearly ten years, Chen Yongren lived an inhumane life for nearly ten years in order to obtain evidence of the criminal group.
It is even conceivable that if Huang Zhicheng and Chen Yongren had not died, they would have continued this plan and repeated what they had repeated more than 9,000 times.
Isn’t it clear to Chen Yongren?
No!
He knew from the beginning that his background alone meant that he had no future in the police force.
But he still harbors extravagant hopes.
In Chen Yongren's heart, he longs to be recognized by society.
In the story, there is a conversation between Chen Yongren and Li Xin'er.
"I'll tell you a secret, I'm actually a police officer."
Li Xin'er jokingly replied: "Me too."
At that moment, Chen Yongren's expression should be very calm.
I have kept a secret in my heart for too long, and if I can find someone to tell it to, it doesn't matter even if it is treated as a joke!
The story will eventually come to an end, but it is not as beautiful as people expected.
"Give me a chance, I just want to be a good person."
"Sorry, I'm a police officer."
"who knows?"
At the end of the story, this dialogue that made Chen Yongren want to cry without tears severely pronounced his doomed tragic fate.
An excellent police officer, who has been undercover for many years, has been forgotten.
He also had the desire to be like Liu Jianming, to become a police officer who fights against evil forces in an upright and respectable manner.
But for the sake of responsibility, he chose to sacrifice his dreams and do the hard work that no one could do.
When Huang Zhicheng died, the only person left to prove his identity became his mortal enemy Liu Jianming.
At this time, proving his identity may no longer be important to Chen Yongren. All he can do is to die together, destroying Liu Jianming and himself at the same time.
But the ending was unexpected. Chen Yongren failed to destroy Liu Jianming and died with an identity that would always be misunderstood.
In his life, he has almost no other pursuit, but one, to prove that he is a good person, to prove to others, and to prove to himself.
But in the end, even this small wish was not realized.
As a gang member, he was shot and killed by the police, and he carried the stigma with him until his death.
Just imagining that he would live such a life as Chen Yongren and end up with people's misunderstandings and die an dishonorable death, Zhang Chu felt collapsed.
In his previous life, as a royal guard, he was also slandered and abused by the world, especially scholars.
But what he holds in his hand is the murderous Xiuchundao, and what he relies on is the supreme imperial power.
To him, the gibbering curses from those scholars were not even scratches.
He could enjoy the honor that the Feiyu suit brought him with peace of mind.
But what about Chen Yongren?
He just wants to be a good person and prove that he can be a good person, but it's not possible.
Looking back at the notes spread out on the table, Zhang Chu quickly turned back, not daring to take another look or even think about Chen Yongren.
The biggest problem facing Zhang Chu now is that he can analyze the characters thoroughly, but how to present these during the performance?
Every word spoken by everyone who had ever taught him how to act was now filling up his brain.
Li Mingqi, Jiang Wen, Li An, and Baodao actor Gao Jie, who had previously worked with the crew of "Hurricane Rescue".
Zhang Chu wanted to find a path that truly suited him from what they said, but he couldn't figure it out.
This made him have self-doubt.
Can I play Chen Yongren well?
It is different from every role he has played in the past. In previous roles, Zhang Chu only acted according to his own understanding.
And the feeling Chen Yongren gave Zhang Chu was...
This is a living person who wants to live again for Chen Yongren.
Tuk, Tuk, Tuk!
A knock on the door woke Zhang Chu up.
"Brother, are you up? Sister Hua is here."
"knew."
Zhang Chu responded, walked over and opened the door.
Wang Jinghua was about to speak when he saw Zhang Chu's appearance and frowned.
"Look at how sloppy you are."
He walked in. Fortunately, there was no strange smell in the room.
"You wrote all this?"
Wang Jinghua noticed the notes spread out on the table.
After learning that Zhang Chu had not left home for three days, Wang Jinghua immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed over.
Looking at Zhang Chu's appearance and looking at those notes, she couldn't help but worry that Zhang Chu had gone crazy.
"No matter how hard you try, you can't compete with yourself, right?"
Wang Jinghua has been exposed to drama lunatic, and Zhang Chu is in a very similar state now.
"It's mesmerizing to watch."
Zhang Chu said, picking up the script, which also contained plot analysis densely.
"Sister Hua, this is the best script I have received so far."
Hearing what Zhang Chu said, Wang Jinghua couldn't help but be curious.
When I received an audition invitation before, the other person just said it was a police film.
In Wang Jinghua's impression, police movies in Hong Kong are the kind of movies full of shootouts, car chases, and fierce fights.
Movies with this kind of theme are suitable for Zhang Chu to take root in the Hong Kong film industry.
Therefore, I notified Zhang Chu, who was still filming in Jiuzhaigou at that time.
But when Zhang Chu said this, Wang Jinghua suddenly felt that this movie was not as simple as she thought.
After taking the script and reading it for a while, Wang Jinghua felt something was wrong.
Although she is not a professional, she has an excellent eye for reading scripts.
"Zhang Chu, you are really lucky."
Wang Jinghua has always had this thought. He feels that Zhang Chu has always been very lucky since his first drama.
Whether it is a TV series or a movie, as long as he participates in it, he will become famous in the end.
Including "The Legend of Shushan", although it did not perform well at the box office in the Mainland and Hong Kong, it became surprisingly popular after being introduced to Europe and the United States.
It's the same now. Wang Jinghua originally just wanted to let Zhang Chu take on a few more Hong Kong films and establish himself in Hong Kong, but this story is clearly about to become popular!
Two-way undercover, Hong Kong movies have never been played like this before.
The story is okay, if it is paired with a few big stars...
"Whether the director said it or not, who else is involved in this play?"
"Liu Dehua!"
Stable!
Regardless of whether it's the Mainland or Hong Kong, this drama is absolutely solid.
Thinking of this, Wang Jinghua couldn't help but laugh at Mr. Wang in his heart.
Media Asia had contacted Huayi Brothers before, and they had been able to cooperate in the past, but it turned out that Xiao Wang always disliked this kind of cliched police and gangster movies.
Media Asia turned around and chose to cooperate with Bona.
I really don’t know how Xiao Wang will feel after this movie is released.
"Who are you playing?"
"Chen Yongren."
Although he only watched the beginning, Wang Jinghua felt that Chen Yongren had more room to perform than Liu Jianming.
If it really works well, maybe...
No, no, it's not time to think about that yet.
"When will it be turned on?"
"In October, we have to wait for notification of the specific time."
There is enough time, and as long as it is not launched at the beginning of the month, it will not conflict with the promotion of "Taken".
"Is there anything else you need to prepare?"
Wang Jinghua has decided that the next focus of Zhang Chu's work will be "Infernal Affairs".
Zhang Chu thought for a while: "Don't arrange anything else for me during this time. I want to go to the advanced training class of the Chinese Opera for a while."
