488 Disciples
After many guests entered the screening room, the staff also put them in one after another.
Er Dongsheng did not hold any opening ceremony before the screening, but directly prepared to screen the video. All questions and interview sessions will be placed after the end of the video. Because Er Dongsheng believed that we should rely on the quality of the video to speak together.
As everyone sat down, the lights in the screening hall suddenly dimmed. A colorful beam of light projected out from the rear projection hole, and the logo of Infinity Picture Company appeared on the screen, and the film officially began.
The sign dissipated, and the first thing that appeared on the screen was a public house. The audience's eyes followed the camera's movement, passing through the messy stairs, dilapidated doors, and simple door-passing spaces, and came to a dark living room.
Through the vague light outside the window, you can tell that a thin woman was lying straight on the sofa beside the window of the living room, motionless, and there was a weak figure at her feet. Judging from the outline, it should be a child.
The camera moved from them to a single sofa position in the middle of the living room, where an equally thin man sat there.
Many viewers at the scene saw the camera pushing the man in front of him and couldn't help but take a breath. It turned out that this man was played by Qin Yu.
However, he did not look as handsome as he had just seen. He was pale, his eyes were dull, his eyes were black, and his hands were shaking, and he took out an iron box from the bottom of the coffee table. Then he opened it tremblingly. The audience could tell through the faint light that there was a rubber belt, a syringe, and a transparent sealing strip plastic bag. The bag was not big, and you could clearly see some white powder inside.
As the camera advanced, it finally freezes on the expression of the man played by Qin Yu. His shaking body was able to distinguish his technique at this time from his lowered head. The little smoke rising in front of him made him a little confused. The moment he raised his head, a determined and struggling look appeared in his eyes, but the subsequent yawn broke his eyes, leaving only cowardice, and hoped that there would be a trace of indulgence in himself.
Qin Yu's eyes made the directors who came to attend the premiere. When the critics from the cerebral cortex to their fingertips were as if they were electrocuted, their tailbones became numb, and the excitement in their hearts was instantly ignited.
This is an actor who can act with his eyes. With just a simple look, he fully reveals the image of an addict's struggle and weakness when facing drug addiction.
When Er Dongsheng chose the opening credits, he considered a more direct drug trafficking scene. Through sharp editing, he explained the final failure of the police to track drug traffickers clearly, thus leading to the undercover male protagonist Ali and the drug lord Lin Kun.
However, after seeing the film, Er Dongsheng felt that he was not shocked enough. If it were just these scenes, he would inevitably fall into the cliché of the traditional police and gangster films of undercover police fighting drug lords and bringing them to justice.
Er Dongsheng wants to express his attitude towards drugs through this video. Through drug users, drug makers, drug traffickers and undercover police, different identities face drugs with different attitudes to give the audience a sense of insight.
Qin Yu's performance on drug use was originally edited because it was not closely related to the main line and the duration was not allowed, so it was edited and placed in the material library. Later, when Er Dongsheng was querying the shots, he saw this set of shots, which gave him another idea, which was to show drug use to the audience more intuitively, so that it would be more impactful.
Undoubtedly, Er Dongsheng's idea was successful. The scene at the beginning of the film alone raised the intention of the film. A dilapidated family, a wife who also took drugs, and a weak child, should have been a harmonious and happy family, but because of drug use, they ended up being dilapidated and poor.
Qin Yu's wonderful performance also made Joanna numb all over. She was not excited, but afraid. In the eyes of Qin Yu playing a man just now, she even thought that Qin Yu was really taking drugs. Later, Cheng Nuo, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but say: Brother acted so well. She suddenly realized that this was a movie.
But then she couldn't help but sigh, was her son's acting skills really so superb? Or was she really exposed to drugs? Otherwise, how could she play such a similar role?
By the way, it's Qin Ming, it must be like this.
Joanna couldn't help but look at Qin Yu, who was sitting in the front row's main creative team. According to the information she knew, Qin Yu was only fourteen or fifteen years old when Qin Ming was taking drugs, and was younger than Nuonuo now. It must have been Qin Ming's appearance of drug abuse that left him a deeper impression. The more outstanding the performance, the deeper the impression. Now letting him play such a role again is to uncover his scars and show it bloodily.
Thinking of this, Joanna looked at Qin Yu's back with a little distressed feeling. Perhaps because she felt the gaze behind her, Qin Yu looked back at her and smiled at her. Seeing that Qin Yu had walked out of it, Joanna was extremely relieved and proud, calmed down and put it on the movie.
Brother Kun, who lives in Xiangjiang, appears to run a small shop and do small business, but his real identity is the drug lord boss who controls a huge drug trafficking vein.
Ali is a "disciple" who has been with Brother Kun for many years. His real identity is actually an undercover agent of the police. Although he has been trusted by Brother Kun, he has never been able to grasp the details of drug production and trafficking.
Er Dongsheng's portrayal of characters is very alternative, but very real. Because Brother Kun's prototype is his childhood neighbor, he is completely different from the arrogant and domineering appearance of gangsters and drug traffickers in traditional police and gangster films.
Brother Kun has an ordinary side, loves his wife and is worried about his eldest daughter's rebellion, and encourages his sister-in-law to pursue Ali...
It also has an unknown side, no sympathy, and can also be said to be inhumane to maximize its own profits.
After Ali told him that he knew a drug addict, he would advise: "Those drug addicts don't tell the truth. They will do everything for drugs..."
When Ali asked him why he still wanted to sell drugs since he knew that drugs were harmful to others, Brother Kun would deceive himself: "Business is about supply and demand. Did I force them to take drugs? What does it have to do with drugs? What does it have to do with me?"
It is such a contradictory person who controls half of the shipment of Xiangjiang methamphetamine.
His wife already has two daughters and is now pregnant with Rocca. In addition, he is troubled by congenital diabetes, which makes Brother Kun think of washing hands and cultivating a successor.
In the end, Ali risked being chased by customs inspection and took Brother Kun's men to escape from the drug manufacturing den, and only then did he truly gain Brother Kun's trust. Brother Kun took the opportunity to take his family to travel to Thailand and took him to the Golden Triangle to the secret base for drug manufacturing, preparing to hand over the entire drug network to him. He was arrested by the police who had complete evidence.
Seeing that the disciple he chose was actually an undercover agent, Brother Kun realized that the situation was hopeless. In order to save his family, he chose to cut his throat and commit suicide in the bathroom of the police station.
Qin Yu and Zhang Jingchu play a drug-taking couple. Zhang Jingchu plays Afen, Ali's neighbor. She told Ali that she tried to take drugs to help her husband quit drugs, but she didn't expect she could not quit.
The husband of Afen, played by Qin Yu, has the same set of rhetoric. He was the first drug addict to become Afen, and he became addicted to drugs to help Afen quit drugs.
No matter who is true or who is fake, the image of drug addicts performed by the two mainland artists has made the audience admire him. If Zhang Jingchu's previous performance was somewhat unnatural and deliberate, then the impact of the scene of her death on the sofa and being crawled by a mouse on the scene is definitely no less than that of Wu Yanzu on the screen.
In the end, Ali set up a plan to send Afen's husband to prison. He sat on the sofa where Afen died, took out the tools that Afen had injected drugs, and stabbed him on his rolled up arm.
Why do people take drugs? Because of emptiness, is it emptiness or drugs?
At this point, the video ends.
Chapter completed!
