Chapter 1401 Are You Interested?

Leonardo and Tom Hanks looked particularly engaged.

They seldom watched Chinese movies, and it was the first time they were really attracted by a Chinese movie.

When Liang Chaowei's acting skills broke out, Leonardo was almost reluctant to blink. He observed Liang Chaowei's acting skills at every moment, and at the same time substituted himself into such a role. I feel that the role played by Liang Chaowei is very full. This character not only runs through the entire story line, but also the complexity of his character and psychology, which also tests the actor's acting skills very much.

The role played by Liang Chaowei is a good person in his bones, but because he performs important tasks, he hangs with criminals all the year round. Years of undercover life have brought him great pain and psychological pressure. He wanted countless times. Quitting, but every time the mission requires him, he can stick with his teeth. He keeps a good person's secret for a long time and acts as a bad person. The more he does, the more he wants to find a chance to blurt out the secret in his heart. A pressure cooker full of secrets, every time it reaches a critical value, it must break through the valve to release a little pressure, otherwise it will cause an accident.

And Liang Chaowei could only tell this secret in a joking way in front of the psychiatrist. When he rarely smiled and told the psychiatrist that he was actually a policeman, his expression had an unprecedented ease. It can be concluded that this character desperately desires to have the opportunity to say this sentence, and when he says it, the whole person seems to be redeemed.

And the psychiatrist knew that he was a thug, and instinctively thought he was joking with himself. This was also the result that Liang Chaowei wanted. Telling a secret that could not be told to the most unlikely person relieved himself. At the same time, there is no risk of leaking secrets. It can be seen that this character's heart has been tortured because of undercover.

For actors with strength and aspirations, their favorite is such difficult and challenging roles, and Leonardo is even more so.

He originally had countless easy ways to succeed. For example, he could beat the world with one face after "Titanic", but he didn't. He no longer accepted the role of the protagonist of "Titanic". , but since then, the series of movies have stopped shooting, and they have begun to find various breakthroughs for themselves everywhere.

"Gangs of New York", "Blood Diamond", "The Aviator", "The Departed", "Shutter Island", "Inception", "The Great Gatsby", "Wild Action"... This man is like A magnet dedicated to finding challenging characters, with all kinds of characters being played to the fullest.

Leonardo's courage to not take a sequel is almost unprecedented in Hollywood. Tom Cruise is very popular, and six "Mission Impossible" films have been filmed; Matt Damon is also very popular, "Bourne Bourne" Five films were also made; Vin Diesel was even better, and one "Fast and the Furious" filmed eight.

in Hollywood,

It is the most cost-effective job for an actor to make a sequel movie, because making a sequel represents the success of the previous work. The actor does not need to challenge a new role again, let alone take the risk that the new role will not be loved by the audience. He only needs to continue his work in the previous work. If you continue to interpret the character in the previous work, you can easily succeed.

Even if there are 10,000 copies of "Mission Impossible", Tom Cruise's performance style in it will never change, and there is no need to change it at all. The only thing that changes is that the plot of each film is slightly different, and Tom Cruise's performance is slightly different. · Cruise each challenge some new extreme sports, this one climbs the Burj Khalifa, the next one picks up a transport plane, and maybe rides an intercontinental missile or a space meteorite later, It's just old wine in new bottles.

However, as long as Tom Cruise continues, he will be able to continue to make huge fortunes from this film until one day audiences get tired of the series and the character.

As for Vin Diesel, as long as he keeps his dick face and continues to sit in various sports cars and slam on the accelerator, "Fast and the Furious" can continue to be filmed, and he can easily make thousands of dollars a year. Ten thousand U.S. dollars.

Whether it's Johnny Depp or Robert Downey Jr., none of these high-paid Hollywood actors dares to give up sequel movies and constantly challenge themselves, the only one is Leonardo.

It is precisely because Leonardo has such a motivation to constantly challenge himself, so when he was attracted by "Infernal Affairs", he instinctively hoped to have the opportunity to play the role of Chen Yongren in the play.

When the movie ended, both Leonardo and Tom Hanks let out a sigh of relief, and they looked at each other, each seeing the sadness in each other's eyes.

The ending of this film is indeed a little unexpected. I thought that after suppressing the whole film, Liang Chaowei would be able to complete the task at the end, find his identity as a policeman, and return to the sun, and then the bad guys will be punished and reunited. The ending, but did not expect, just when they both thought that Liang Chaowei had seen the dawn of victory, a bullet suddenly ended his life, making this character after a hundred minutes of depression, in the most tragic way. way to end.

What's even worse is that at the end of the original Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs", the character played by Liu Dehua was not captured by the police, but continued to be his police officer, completely escaping the punishment of the law.

In the mainland version of "Infernal Affairs", Liu Dehua was arrested by the police as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, and then the movie ended, but in the original Hong Kong version, Liu Dehua showed his credentials when he got out of the elevator, saying that I am a policeman, and then he got away with impunity.

Then, it was the accidental discovery of Chen Yongren's files that made Chen Yongren's identity known to the world, so the police gave him a funeral. At the funeral, the psychiatrist played by Chen Huilin and Chen Yongren's ex-girlfriend played by Xiao Yaxuan all came to the scene. Liu Jianming, played by Liu Dehua, also wore a police uniform to salute Chen Yongren.

Finally, the screen flashes back to what a police academy instructor said to other students when Chen Yongren was expelled from the police academy: "Those who don't obey the rules will get out of the way like him. Are any of you willing to exchange with him?"

Liu Jianming, played by Liu Dehua, suddenly replaced Chen Guanxi in the crowd. He lowered his head and said, "I want to change with him."

Then, at the end of the show...

Leonardo buried his face in his hands. After a while, he took a deep breath and said, "I'm still looking forward to finally putting on the police uniform and going to that psychiatrist..."

Tom Hanks smiled knowingly and said in agreement: "The script's portrayal of this character is too cruel. He paid so much and got almost nothing. First, he lost a few years of his good times, and he suffered from double identities. Stressed, then lost the person he trusted most, and ended up losing his own life."

Spielberg on the side said: "The character Chen Yongren is actually a martyr. For such a character, it doesn't matter what he got in the end, but what he sacrificed to defend."

Leonardo said: "It was also too cruel for the audience, he died too suddenly, and did not give him a respectful ending, the only thing that was a bit human was that the writers gave him a police specification. The funeral can be regarded as a little consolation for the audience."

Tom Hanks nodded: "Fortunately, the psychiatrist was also present at the funeral, so at least let her know that the poor man once told him the deepest secret in his heart, but unfortunately, In the end, the undercover dirty policeman had nothing to do, and even went to the funeral scene to pretend, and finally played sensational, as if he was whitewashing the dirty policeman, I personally feel that this is a failure."

Leonardo said with great agreement: "That's right! It's so damn right! Forgive me for swearing Tom, but you've spoken to my heart! I really don't understand what the screenwriter thinks, this policeman , He has helped drug dealers sell countless drugs to the market for many years. Behind this, I don’t know how many people and how many families were indirectly poisoned. Moreover, he also killed Chen Yongren’s boss, maliciously erased Chen Yongren’s files, and indirectly killed him. He, and the guy who shot and killed Chen Yongren in the end was his true comrade-in-arms. It was he who shot and killed Chen Yongren that rescued the policeman from the abyss, and the policeman shot his own man in a blink of an eye. Comrade-in-arms, your own savior!"

Having said that, Leonardo said with some devotion: "So you see what he has done? Helping drug dealers, killing two policemen, and killing the savior! Whether it is the opposite person or the people around him, He did not leave any room for ruthless attacks. He was completely a wicked person. It would be fine to let a wicked person go unpunished at the end. I can understand it as the cruelty of reality, but what does that last bit mean? This dirty policeman is actually From the bottom of my heart, he wants to change with Chen Yongren? Is the screenwriter trying to clean up this heinous person? It's really unreasonable!"

Spielberg said: "So this is the difference between our Eastern and Western film culture. Eastern film culture advocates exaggerating human nature. They think that no matter how evil people are, they also have a kind side in their hearts."

"I can't accept this idealized rendering." Leonardo shook his head and said: "I respect reality more. In reality, evil people like Liu will never have good thoughts in their minds, because you have done something from him. It can be seen that if a person can do these things, it is impossible for a person to have good intentions. On the other hand, a person with good intentions will not do so many outrageous things, so I don’t think so. The way to accept this ending, a heinous person who wants to be a good person in his heart??? TF! It's like Bill Gates saying that he actually wants to be a poor man who can't eat!"

Tom Hanks didn't expect Leonardo to be so emotional, and hurriedly consoled him: "Leo, it's just a movie, don't be too angry."

"I'm sorry Tom." Leonardo said apologetically, "I was too involved, and this ending really made me feel too depressed!"

Spielberg patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hong Kong directors and screenwriters have their own way of thinking, which should be different from Hollywood. In most cases, we still prefer a happy ending, even if Sometimes it is necessary to leave some regrets, but at the end, I also hope to be better than sorry. If Hollywood screenwriters are allowed to jump out of the plot of this movie and only use its settings, it may be like what you said. In the end, Chen Yongren He didn't die, but came together with that psychiatrist."

"Shit!" Leonardo sighed: "Aside from the ending, I really like this role, and this Hong Kong actor is also very impressive."

Spielberg looked at Leonardo and asked him, "Leo, if we remake this movie, would you be interested in playing the role of Chen Yongren?"
