Chapter 134 Trial and Error
Generally, movies with the protagonist's perspective have high requirements for the logic of the script.
Because a movie is established through conflict, conflict usually originates from the protagonist's choice.
In the 90-minute movie, the protagonist 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 their personality contrary to the protagonist to forcibly promote the development of the plot in order to create conflicts, and then dilute the fans who have followed the protagonist's consciousness from the beginning step by step.
According to Eric Ederson's "Story Theory", the protagonist's contact roles are generally divided into six types.
Opponents, partners, lovers, mentors, border guards and other allies.
The protagonist can be compared to a hexagon, and each face is connected to other characters.
Unlike the protagonist who is fully visible, each supporting character only shows one side that intersects the protagonist.
Because the other five aspects are missing, it is inevitable that there will be contrast deviations in the audience's perspective.
For example, the role of Lin Kun in this drama.
In previous movies of similar themes, the villain's leader has always been a ruthless and ruthless style, with a leaf that never touches the body.
But among the disciples, the character of screenwriter Lin Kun is portrayed more lifelike.
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 his most hated existence; for Ali, he also showed his support and trust.
He is loyal, smart, logical, and has high ability. His only hobby is eating candy and he has diabetes.
It can be said that compared to the hesitant Ali, this character is more full and three-dimensional.
In the whole drama, the character Lin Kun is also the most outstanding.
Liu Dehua knew, so he also mentioned it when he invited Ji Yun.
The protagonist of this movie can be changed, but the character Lin Kun must not be changed.
He is the eye of the whole movie.
In the Academy Awards selection, Liu Dehua won the honor of Best Actor twice.
"Big guys have great wisdom" and "Secret War".
However, he has not won the award for Best Supporting Actor. This "Disciple" is his most powerful competitive choice for Best Supporting Actor.
Rather than saying that Liu Dehua is supporting Ji Yun, it is better to say that Ji Yun is building a platform for Liu Dehua.
As both positive and negative roles, Ji Yun and Liu Dehua have many rivalries in this drama.
Without exception, Liu Dehua is the one who has the upper hand in terms of performance level and plot tension.
For example, Ali and Lin Kun are discussing why people take drugs.
"I really don't understand. What's the point of smoking that smells so bad?"
In the play, Lin Kun, as the head of drug business, is the one who buys the people he most despises.
Ji Yun's eyes flashed and he asked carefully: "Why do people take drugs?"
"Oh, I don't know, and I don't want to know. Business is about supply and demand. Some people buy it and some people sell it. Smoking can also cause cancer. Different people smoke it?"
Liu Dehua acted helplessly, and looked like he was deceiving himself.
It seems that as a drug dealer, he is not at all at fault.
Of course, he knew that he was unforgivable, but he was still trying to relieve himself of his sins, as if he was explaining to Ji Yun, and as if he was looking for some psychological comfort for himself.
He felt that what he said was not enough, so he fired it like a cannon.
"Are I promoting it? No! It's not that I forced them, I didn't force them! What does it have to do with me? I blame them all, I blame them all!"
He stared at Ji Yun's eyes, as if he wanted to get a hint of affirmation in his eyes.
His confidence was a bit lacking. Although his voice was getting louder and louder, it could not hide his guilt at this moment.
Although he said it was high-sounding, the more he said this, the more he said it meant that there was something in his heart.
Ji Yunmuran, obviously the view of good and evil in his heart did not support him in his praise for Lin Kun's behavior at this moment.
Liu Dehua did not get a response from the other party's eyes, and he sighed helplessly.
"What? Have you met someone who is taking drugs?" He changed the subject rudely.
"No, I'm curious."
A trace of unnatural flashed across Ji Yun's face.
"Those drug users are the most good at pretending to be pitiful. They can't do anything when they get addicted! Don't get involved with these people, otherwise you think you have done something wrong, as if you were harming them. It's all their fault! What can we do if they don't take drugs? It's all their fault..."
He had already spoken incoherently and threw all his mistakes on those people again, turning his body over with some anxiety.
It seems that this will avoid inner condemnation.
"Why are you so hot?"
"What am I popular?" Liu Dehua suddenly widened his eyes, "It's not their fault? How can I be angry!"
"Dingling~"
The ringtone of the phone rang, and a trace of gratitude flashed in Liu Dehua's eyes.
He hurriedly answered the phone, "No, I'll find someone to solve it."
Putting down his phone, he lifted the water cup tremblingly, and kept muttering: "One day I will add some rat poison to poison those bastards..."
"Card!"
After the shooting, Liu Dehua ran to the monitor like a gust of wind.
He looked at his performance just now without blinking.
"Let's have another one."
This scene is full of close-ups of himself. In his opinion, his control over the details just now was still a bit inadequate.
Er Dongsheng tsk, "It's less three-dimensional. As a boss, you can't just show your panic side in front of me."
Liu Dehua nodded thoughtfully. Zhang Jingchu and Ji Yun's previous performances have ignited his fighting spirit. In this performance, he will definitely strive for excellence in his performance.
......
Buffett once said: When the wave fades, you will know who is swimming naked.
This sentence can not only be placed in the stock market, but also in the entertainment industry.
A competent actors can better experience the test of living time.
The young and handsome guys are popular one after another, and Liu Dehua is still the king of heaven.
When filming "Killing", he received a note from Ma Jingwu, "Actors are not eating youth. Only by maintaining consistent enthusiasm for performance can you become an evergreen in this industry."
This sentence is just right for Liu Dehua.
At this moment, he seemed to be a beginner, constantly trying and making mistakes in the simplest way, constantly approaching the director's requirements.
Every time he reopens, he can clearly find the layering of his performance.
From simple panic, to a little bit of self-blame, to fear and deep shame.
21 times.
Although it was a simple dialogue scene, after 21 attempts, his body was covered with sweat.
I don’t know how many times he put on makeup, but his enthusiasm has not diminished.
He sat on a plastic stool and repeated the line that he had repeated many times.
"I really don't understand. What's the point of smoking that smells so bad..."
Ji Yun stood opposite him, and at this moment he could clearly feel that the other party had fully understood the character.
Chapter completed!
