Chapter 427, Each Person's Morality
Faith and will are the principles and temperament that leaders must possess.
Yan Xiaoguo is a leader.
The leader who led three hundred elite dead soldiers to come here and embark on an almost certain death path.
No matter what era, it is not a good thing to die in a foreign land. Fallen leaves returning to their roots is deeply hidden in the hearts of every Chinese person.
Including Fang Xing, played by Ren Huada, his biggest wish is actually to be rehabilitated and then return to his hometown, his hometown.
The pursuit across a foreign land must be accompanied by faith and will.
It's definitely not something that can be eliminated in just a few sentences.
"I heard that you love gambling. Loving gambling is a good thing. If you have a hobby, you will be persistent. If you are persistent, you will be desperate."
Yan Xiaoguo sees everything through the 'gambler' played by Donnie Yen in front of him.
This is also the main theme of this movie.
If you are persistent, you will risk everything. In this movie.
Everyone has their own persistence - this is what Chen Kexin appreciates most about his script.
Their persistence.
The perseverance of a gambler, the perseverance of an actor, the perseverance of a coachman, the perseverance of a businessman.
They all have their own stories.
The actor's obsession is to avenge his father, but also for his family to recognize their ancestors and return to their hometown.
The gambler's obsession is his daughter, his wife who is married to a businessman as a concubine.
The coachman's persistence is the young master's, the businessman's kindness, and the little man's repayment of kindness.
The obsession of businessmen is to take sides in order to keep their wealth sustainable.
The beggar came because the businessman returned the lost iron fan.
This group of bodyguards all have their own obsessions and desires, so they were summoned by Chen Shaobai to protect Sun Wen.
In fact, it feels a bit like imitating the rhythm of a Hollywood blockbuster——
Each teammate with special skills has his or her own moral principles and reasons for participating in the action, even to the point of giving his or her life.
"The Bodyguard and the Hitman".
This is the original name of "October Siege"
This is Chen Kexin's secret weapon for combining the main theme of the movie script "October Siege" with eye-stimulating action and commercial movie elements.
Hollywood Narrative Rhythm
Group portrait, Hollywood.
The experience gained from "Tou Ming Zhuan" was applied in "October Siege".
"Liu Yubai, Mr. Iron Fan, is so handsome."
At this time, Chen Kexin looked at the elegant Iron Fan in front of her and was very satisfied with his image and performance.
He is also very proud of the character setting and structure he created for "October Siege". This is what he is proud of about this script. Thousands of people, with thousands of faces, work together to do something because of one order. Thing, how cool is this.
Xie Qingya next to her also nodded gently.
Indeed, this Hollywood-style way of shaping is very interesting.
The development structure of this plot is also very interesting.
The truth that transcends classes and classes because of a will and goal is the feeling of "October Siege"
"Many of the newly revised scripts are very detailed, but I feel that sometimes, some things are a bit unnecessary." Chen Kexin is still a little concerned about changing the script.
He had more of a feeling that maybe these minor detail changes were really nothing.
"Yeah?"
Xie Qingya said calmly: "Let's talk about this after reading it."
Liu Yubai.
Wu Zhuangyuan, the Four Heavenly Kings, the role played by Li Ming is responsible for the combat effectiveness of the bodyguard team.
The setting is that he fell in love with a woman he shouldn't have fallen in love with, that is, his father's woman, so he ended up where he is now, being a beggar.
Li Ming felt that there was something particularly interesting about this character.
The majestic martial arts champion fell because he could not control his emotions. After his fall, he pursued the smoke and became a beggar. He even pawned his family heirlooms because of the smoke.
What is being pawned is not just the treasure, but also the dignity.
Your own dignity and the dignity of your family.
But when all dignity was lost, he fell into disgrace.
In the end, it was because businessman Li Yutang redeemed the iron fan for him that he was willing to go back and work for him.
Because Li Yutang redeemed his lost dignity.
It can be said that his motive is entirely to repay the favor.
In order to repay Li Yutang's kindness, Li Ming also felt that this motive was indeed tenable.
I also have a lot of feelings for the character.
"I just don't feel like I'm participating." At this time, Li Ming said slightly: "It's a little bit fragmented."
At this time, he was reviewing the script with Li Yutang.
A man who loved his little mother fell for a time because of his cowardice, inferiority, and guilt. He went from being a top martial artist back then to becoming a heavy smoker on the streets today.
Big smoke is a good thing.
It can make people forget the past, temporarily paralyze themselves, and find peace in the corners of their thoughts.
This is a symbol of depravity, a symbol of sin.
"So isn't your little mother's role deleted here?" At this time, Wang Xueqi joked: "Your role is really interesting."
"Right. Is it really okay for a depraved guy to become the last guard in the bodyguard team and leave the most dangerous place to me?"
Li Ming touched his chin, is it really okay? He is a degenerate smoker.
In the script at this time.
The slightly modified part comes out.
Li Yun came over and told Li Ming to shoot one more scene, and changed and deleted some of the scenes where he interacted with his stepmother.
"Li Ming, the next scene is very simple. You just need to stare at this thing. Keep staring at this thing."
At this time, Li Yun took out a piece of something.
A prop.
A stick of opium.
When Li Ming saw the opium, his eyes immediately became decadent.
This is the feeling of Liu Yubai. For so many years, he has relied on the anesthesia of opium to survive in the world.
Living in confusion.
But he also woke up suddenly.
The person who fell is himself.
But why did I, a fallen person, choose opium to fall?
Because this thing is the best symbol of depravity.
The British Empire, the opium exporter, brought evil from the other side of the ocean.
It is because I am so decadent.
I know how evil this thing represents.
Gambler.
For Yan Xiaoguo, gamblers are a good example.
Because he has a hobby.
He has an obsession.
So they can be used well.
They are good chess pieces and props.
Without these obsessions and hobbies, they will not be used.
His motive.
It is his wife's commission.
Oh no, it's his ex-wife.
Please protect my current husband, your daughter can't lose her father.
It can be said that this script.
Chen Kexin injected too many entertainment elements into it.
And this entertainment element is engraved in Chen Kexin's instinct.
He knows what kind of script can attract box office.
He knows what the audience likes.
Although this entertainment element is a bit frivolous, it has to be admitted that some elements can make the dull plot more interesting.
Zhen Zidan is holding his daughter's doll at this moment.
Crying wantonly.
The sound of crying.
He has no special feelings for Li Yutang, and even a little jealous. He took away his wife and daughter, but he has to admit that only he can give his wife and daughter a good life.
Hatred.
Jealousy.
Fierce.
But he must not die.
I can't let my daughter lose her father.
This feeling.
The script is very clear.
And Zhen Zidan also first showed his expression of literary drama here. In the past, people thought that he was a martial artist who only knew how to wield guns and sticks.
But now it seems.
It's not.
This self-analysis.
Decision and attachment.
All presented in front of us.
He can also control complex emotions.
"Not bad, our Master Zhen, he can also play literary dramas." Wang Xueqi said about this.
"He is at least a big star-level actor. Even if he has reached this position by relying on martial arts, one trait alone is definitely not enough to support him to where he is now." At this moment, Ren Huada said: "We are actors, not pure martial artists. We always need some acting skills."
In the script.
This gambler can only show his human side when he is in front of his daughter.
And his last shot before the decisive battle.
It is looking at his daughter.
When he came to see his daughter.
But she found that she was not living as well as she had imagined in this family.
The young lady of the Li family.
It was not that easy to be one.
It was not because she was not Li Yutang's biological daughter.
Because she was a woman.
It was that simple.
Concubine, a woman.
Even if she lived in a wealthy family, how good could she live?
Of course.
She must live better than with him, a gambler.
There is no doubt about this.
But.
At this time.
The gambler could not help thinking.
Even if Li Yutang went back, so what?
My daughter is still inferior here.
Coachman.
For the coachman.
The master was able to teach him to read and write.
He was already grateful and shed tears.
Thank you very much, master.
You can give me, a humble servant, the right to read and write.
It's really tearful.
Deng A Si, played by Xie Tingfeng.
He has an absolutely humble gratitude to Li Yutang and Li Chongguang.
That kind of humble feeling from the heart and soul.
That is what the servants of this era need to do.
Because servants are servants.
Because untouchables are untouchables.
They don't need to read or write, and they can't read or write. Knowledge is useless and unattainable for them.
I just want to think about how many passengers the rickshaw can pull tomorrow.
Is this enough?
Xie Tingfeng seems to understand that kind of contradiction.
The contradiction caused by the combination of the actor himself and the role.
As a young man in the new century, being taught to read, write and go to school is a right that everyone can have, and even an obligation.
And in this era.
For the rickshaw driver Deng A Si, this right and obligation seems like a mirror flower and a moon in the water.
Like the stars in the sky.
Unpredictable.
I like the clerk in the cloth shop.
I want to write a love letter to her in words.
But I also need the young master to write for me.
I also want to be able to read and write.
I also want to express my love with elegant love poems.
But in this era, this right does not belong to me, because I am a coachman, a slave, and I have a good master.
But my fate ultimately depends on my master.
Not in myself.
Is this reasonable? Coachman.
Subtle lens additions.
Slightly deleted or added scenes.
In fact, it does not affect the overall situation of the entire October siege.
It doesn't affect what he needs to express.
But there are slight changes to the characters.
"Do they know what they are going to do tomorrow? Are you asking them to die?"
This is Chen Shaobai's original line.
Chen Shaobai scolded Li Yutang here.
He scolded the businessman for tricking a group of people into working for him by any means necessary.
Do they know the significance of what they are going to do tomorrow?
Do they know who they are going to sacrifice for and who they are bleeding for?
This is in the script.
Chen Shaobai originally scolded him from above.
In the original script, they really didn't understand it.
It seems to be in today’s script.
They may not know where to go.
It seems to be ignorant and hazy.
It seems that only Chen Shaobai and Li Yutang are superior.
Only then did I understand.
Only then can we understand the meaning of revolution, only then can we understand what democracy is, and only then can we understand what freedom is.
At this time, Chen Kexin realized that she was staring at her script on the set.
It just looks slightly altered.
But what actually changed.
Very much.
Very, very much!
Wait for the results to come out.
It was completely different from what I expected.
"No, this is not my script! This is completely different from my script!"
Obviously, except Chen Shaobai, Li Yutang and Li Chongguang, no one understands the meaning of protecting Sun Wen.
No one understands what it means.
"arrogant!"
At this time, Li Yun looked at Chen Kexin who was suddenly separated from another world and said.
"You are so arrogant. You have the arrogance of a superior person who comes to save all sentient beings. You think that the coachman does not understand, you think that the beggar does not understand, you think that the actor does not understand, and you think that the gambler does not understand."
"You said, these deceived people came to follow you to protect Sun Wen. Is it because of some selfish morality? How arrogant do you have to think that it is your privilege to understand freedom in this world! "
At this time, Chen Kexin looked at the young man in front of him.
From the beginning, this young director felt that he could do whatever he wanted. Now, he has taken the entire rhythm to a wild level.
High-ranking elites.
Arrange these hard-working people at the bottom to contribute to their revolution.
Desire for the happiness of civilization.
It must go through the blood and tears of civilization.
Stop being so fucking arrogant.
People who are willing to shed blood and tears.
They will never go down this path for various selfish reasons.
They have their own absolute morality.
And was attracted and condensed by the morality in the heart.
This is the team that besieged the city in October, the bodyguards and killers.
The morality of a killer, the morality of a bodyguard!
A sense of impact and power flowed through the entire crew.
This feeling of power comes from belief.
It comes from the belief in this motley team of bodyguards.
Just a small change in the script.
Let this glimmer of faith unite all the actors who play the characters.
Coachman, beggar, gambler, actor.
Low-class guys.
Because of moral resonance.
This kind of magic and this belief actually made their acting skills even better.
It came from a complete fit between the script and the character.
"How many more surprises can he give me?"
At this time, Liang Jiahui's hand holding the script was trembling a little, a trembling of absolute excitement.
What kind of freak is that.
To be able to write such a magical script.
Li Yunxin's revised script does not have much impact on him. After all, he, Chen Shaobai, is the character that you can understand and implement all of this.
If you want the happiness of civilization, you must go through the blood and tears of civilization.
As a director, Li Yun brought the idea and belief of this sentence to all the main characters present.
Everyone seems to understand.
The meaning of protecting Sun Wen.
The morality exists here.
Because the director has such a sense of belief.
That’s why all the actors can understand the purpose of it.
Liang Jiahui.
Chen Shaobai.
You, the director, have such a sense of belief.
I really hope to meet you, Yan Xiaoguo.
What follows is one of the core duels between Li Yun's Yan Xiaoguo and Liang Jiahui's Chen Shaobai.
The showdown between them.
Today's show.
Everyone is here.
Among them was the pretentious Xie Tingfeng, who had very complicated feelings about Li Yun.
It was Li Yun who taught him how to play the role of the coachman.
It was Li Yun who made him realize.
In this era, the anger and awareness that a person like the coachman should have.
It can be said.
No one understands the October siege better than him, no one understands revolution, bloodshed and tears better than him.
But there is a strange contradiction here.
He has the acting skills to say that soldiers deserve to die in the wilderness.
That kind of loyalty and loyalty.
But as Li Yun, he seems to understand the meaning of revolution very well.
Without sincere recognition, there would be no such acting skills.
So where is his thinking?
Very contradictory.
I'd love to take a look.
Look at his roles, his acting.
Looking forward to what comes next.
The actor with a thousand faces, he will use several percent of his strength.
Go to Li Yun's play.
Xie Tingfeng and Liang Jiahui have acted together.
he asked then.
He asked Liang Jiahui how much skill he could exert.
Liang Jiahui said 70%.
I don’t know how much Li Yun can do.
This Tony Leung Ka Fai is the Master of Thousand Faces who can retract and release freely.
For the release of his acting skills, he can go to an extremely meticulous level.
A meticulous control that is close to perfection.
This is the actor with a thousand faces.
Liang Jiahui.
"Sir, you have been here all day without eating, drinking or talking. Your stomach and intestines are not good, so the students are very worried."
Yan Xiaoguo came in with water, soup and food. This fierce Qing assassin leader took 300 dead men to Xiangjiang. He came with the risk of dying in a foreign land and the awakening of his consciousness.
He respected Chen Shaobai, the spokesman of the Revolutionary Party, very much and even called him his teacher.
Calls himself a student.
Yan Xiaoguo is Chen Shaobai's student.
A student who can understand what Chen Shaobai said.
"Have you eaten enough to send me on my way?"
"Students should remember that once they are a teacher, they will always be a father."
At this time, Yan Xiaoguo raised his head.
Look at this thief leader.
Their eyes met.
The show begins.
