Xiao He unexpectedly gained a criminal cheat skill that allows him to learn all kinds of crime-related abilities.
—But the catch is, he has to keep “stabbing people” to stay alive.
<...This teacher is the one who provides the most physical strength in the whole movie. He originally accompanied the girl he had a crush on to the hospital for a medical appointment, but he didn't expect this to happen. Like the protagonist, he unfortunately got separated from the girl he had a crush on.
Unlike the protagonist, he is genuinely powerful with extremely high combat skills, and he is a very reliable presence throughout the early part of the movie.
In this situation, however, good people don't get good rewards.
Sure enough, during one of his escapes, the teacher was betrayed by his companions and almost lost his life. Even though he managed to escape back alive, he was suspected of being infected with the zombie virus.
Human nature is revealed at this moment.
Even if you saved everyone, even if you were originally a good person, so what?
You are no longer on the same path as everyone else! You only bring danger and death!
He was originally just a kind, ordinary person, but the light in his eyes slowly went out because of everyone's accusations and suspicions, until finally, he silently picked up the weapon in his hand...
This is a relatively deep character, somewhat like an honest person forced to become a villain. It requires a certain level of acting skills to support this series of changes. Ideally, the actor should be able to subtly show the character's change in mentality throughout the entire performance, so that it doesn't seem too abrupt.
Compared to other roles, his was more difficult to portray, but without a doubt, it also had more highlights and personal charm.
Although Xiao He thought it was alright, he wasn't particularly satisfied.
If I had to point out something that wasn't quite right... I couldn't really say.
The main issue is the subject matter. I don't know if killing zombies counts as stabbing someone.
This was also the problem that Xiao He had been struggling with ever since he received the script.
He wanted to act in Director Feng's films because he thought that many of Director Feng's action films were well-made, and that the villains were indeed ruthless and that the process of scheming against the protagonist was very exciting, with each move in a life-or-death battle being fatal.
But this time the style changed completely, turning into a zombie movie, and the main villains were all zombies, so he couldn't play a villain who could kill everyone.
If the knife belongs to a zombie, then it was a human in life, and the actor playing the role is also a human. So, when it attacks, will it earn points or not?
"What do you think?" Liu Rulan asked Xiao He. "He should be the most suitable role for you out of all the roles."
Xiao He didn't answer, but instead asked Liu Rulan, "Sister Liu, do you think it's necessary to play this role?"
Liu Rulan frowned, but wasn't angry. Instead, she crossed her legs to the other side and asked, "Are you not satisfied with this role?"
"I certainly wouldn't dare to speak carelessly about roles with big-name directors," Xiao He denied. "I'm just thinking that these ensemble roles are all pretty good, and there will definitely be a lot of big names competing for them. It might even be an all-star lineup. Can I handle it?"
Liu Rulan: "Whether it's feasible or not and whether you want to are two different things."
Xiao He choked.
Sister Liu, I don't know how to respond to what you just said!
