Chapter 221: There is no such thing as being forced to do something, it’s just greed
At this moment in the temporary room for the audition.
Ye Youhai and Du Qifeng were discussing the scores given.
Discussing his performance.
As expected, Ye Youhai gave a high score of 85. The character Jimmy played by Louis Koo fits the role in his script very well.
He was very satisfied . He was indeed a person who had real experience.
His sense of immersion is his most powerful weapon.
"I give it 80 points." Du Qifeng smiled and said, "It's really good, completely worthy of his experience."
“I’m wondering if I should smoke a cigarette.”
Ye Youhai showed a slight sense of leisure at this time?
It's not that I'm impatient.
Just leisurely.
After all, in his mind, this role has already been chosen.
"Why don't I just watch here myself?" Du Qifeng paused and said, "Xiao Li and I have worked together once before."
"Well, hearing you praise him so highly, he is indeed a good young man. It's a pity that he met the wrong opponent when he met the right role."
At this moment, Ye Youhai must have felt a little emotional .
Du Qifeng did not comment.
Because Li Yun has already come in.
Ye Youhai did not go to smoke, but sat here. Anyway, there was only one more person auditioning, and it would not take much time.
When Li Yun came in, Ye Youhai was a little surprised - he was quite handsome. Judging from his appearance, the young man in front of him was definitely a player of Wu Yanzu and Gu Tianle's level . Especially with his smile.
Looks very good.
Is this the Fire Cloud Evil God with messy appearance, ugly and crazy appearance in "Kung Fu"?
At this moment, in Ye Youhai's mind, the image of Li Yun was slightly elevated.
"Hello, Director Du, Screenwriter Ye."
Li Yun smiled, his face didn't have any hostility, just a little bit...normal, his body slightly hunched and curled up, not much of the sunlight's shadow shone on his face, half light and half shadow.
It's like wearing a mask.
It's obvious.
At this time, Ye Youhai put down the cigarette in his hand, feeling a little surprised. He is also a veteran in the industry.
Now, he could see one thing : Li Yun had already entered into his "role".
Ye Youhai narrowed his eyes and put down the cigarette.
“It’s really something”
Du Qifeng also looked at Li Yun, feeling a little surprised and even a little emotional.
It hasn't been long since "Big Man, Big Wisdom" and Li Yun has gone from a small special guest who only made a brief appearance to a second-rate movie star.
How long has it been?
How young is he? Now.
He also saw directly the little guy back then.
To the growth till now.
When he entered the door, he was no longer Li Yun, but his character.
But it is Jimmy What he thinks of himself as Jimmy.
"Brother Ale, I just want to run a good business. I didn't want to join the gang because I was forced to do so."
At this time, Li Yun was performing a non-physical performance.
In front of you.
It's 'Ale'.
He is also the protagonist of "Dragon City Years".
Li Yun stared at him, revealing his sadness and sincerity. He really didn't want to get involved in the fight within the Hey Gang.
"I don't have any ambitions at all, really."
The meaning that the character of Jimmy wants to convey in the script is that people in the world have no choice but to do what they want.
Once a gangster, always a gangster.
Now that you are here, it is difficult to get out and it is difficult to draw a clear line.
This character is so helpless.
In the first part it was actually okay.
But in the second part, he was indeed involved in the dispute over the dragon head stick.
In this dragon head dispute, he really wanted to get out of it.
It was indeed because he was anxious about the Hey Gang getting too deeply involved.
This is the Zhanmi shown by Li Yun, a businessman, a person who only thinks about making money and has to sit in the leading position.
At this moment, directors Du Qifeng and Ye Youhai nodded.
Not bad.
In fact, the angle of presentation is similar to that of Gu Tianle.
Even the feeling presented is similar.
Once you enter the world, you have no choice.
But you also have to help your boss for the sake of your own loyalty.
That feeling of being loyal and yet having no control over one's own affairs.
He was well prepared for this role.
It’s a pity that Gu Zai’s example was set before him, and Li Yun indeed lacked that real touch.
Although I don't know if the real touch is just a psychological effect.
But under the same conditions, Du Qifeng and Ye Youhai both prefer Gu Tianle.
It’s just that I was a little surprised that Li Yun could produce such an effect.
It can be said to be quite good.
It can produce an effect similar to that of Gu Zai.
You have to know that he has really been in gangs and even been in jail for gangs. The experience during this period has become a sharp weapon that makes him invincible.
Become the most suitable embodiment for this role.
"He is a talented actor." At this moment, Ye Youhai murmured, and his opinion of him changed slightly.
I also watched his audition performance seriously.
I thought that was it.
But if that is the case, then the role belongs to Gu Tianle.
Li Yun still lacked that kind of real feeling.
That should be the case.
"It's a pity. I still see the growth he has gained. He is even better than he was back then."
Du Qifeng saw the growth that Li Yun had gained, and felt a little emotional about the changes that had taken place from the past to now.
The person Li Yun has become today.
An actor.
There are 30 seconds left and the audition is over.
The final conclusion is to give a score in your heart. Du Qifeng plans to give it 75 points.
Ye Youhai also gave his own score in his heart, which was 75 points. In his heart.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It’s also this score.
There are only 30 seconds left, so there’s nothing we can do.
Also. There is no other way to show it?
It can be regarded as a low-profile version of Gu Tianle.
at this time.
In the shadows.
Li Yun suddenly showed an expression.
One is in dark shadows.
Emotions shown.
Yes. Greed.
It is an insignificant, micro-expression, a micro-expression hidden beneath the surface emotion.
The last ten seconds, uncontrollable greed.
From greed to anxiety to regret.
To the point where I have no control over myself.
This is the emotional chain that Li Yun showed. "This."
At this moment, both Ye Youhai and Du Qifeng sensed that hidden emotion.
greedy.
To anxiety.
To regret.
There is a progressive change in emotions.
Added a hint of greed.
That little bit of greed changes the true nature of this character from beginning to end .
It can make a big difference to the character At this time, Ye Youhai and Du Qifeng were shocked.
When Li Yun left the room, Ye Youhai and Du Qifeng were still in the same mood as before.
"What did he mean just now?" Ye Youhai said in disbelief, "Was his emotion just now greed?"
"Hmm greed."
"Is his feeling about this kind of role really correct?" At this time, Ye Youhai looked at Du Qifeng with some doubt. He still asked, as if he always felt that the greed shown by Li Yun was a bit unorthodox.
At this moment, there was even a hint of conflicting emotions on Du Qifeng's face.
"Director Du?" Ye Youhai looked at Du Qifeng and was silent.
Seems to be struggling too.
"Hmm," Du Qifeng asked back, "So, as a screenwriter, what do you think of this character?"
Ye Youhai paused and said.
"How should I put it? I feel a little surprised, but I still feel that it is a bit unorthodox. If the emotion he showed at the beginning was greed, then what about his subsequent 'in the arena, you have no choice'?"
"It reduced the feeling of his struggle. I personally feel that he is not real. He reduced the feeling of brotherhood and emotion."
Ye Youhai said implicitly that although Li Yun's performance made him feel a little amazing.
This is a unique way of presentation.
But it has not been shown in previous Hey Gang movies.
However, at this moment, Du Qifeng lit a cigarette and started smoking: "Ye Youhai, where did you grow up?"
"Futian District, what's wrong?" He grew up in Shenzhen's Futian District and came to Hong Kong to work hard.
"Yes, Shenzhen Futian District is also a prosperous place." Du Qifeng sighed and said, "And I grew up in Kowloon Walled City."
Ye Youhai also admires Du Qifeng very much.
It is precisely because of this experience, this experience from childhood to adulthood, that the genius Du Qifeng was created.
His hey gang, his gunfights, his gang.
These are all features of his movies.
It has a unique sense of reality and art.
This is the art of the gang.
The Art of Du Qifeng.
Art distilled from real experience.
"I don't have the authority you do in this area."
Ye Youhai said: "So what do you think?"
"I give Li Yun 90 points."
Ye Youhai: “!!!”
At this time, Ye Youhai said with a little shock.
"90 points?"
For Ye Youhai, the score of 90 given by Du Qifeng is great.
But it's too high! Even at the end, the feeling of 'greed' presented by Li Yun, although somewhat unique, but to say that it is so much higher than Gu Tianle's score, it's a bit inappropriate! "Gu Zai has really been in the gang." Ye Youhai couldn't help but say.
"But I also grew up in Kowloon Walled City for the first half of my life. It is the most mixed place in Hong Kong with the most gangs and scumbags. Growing up in this place, I have seen all kinds of people, from street vendors who work together with each other, to hooligans, to big bosses. No matter what their final emotions are, I actually know one thing."
“The original intention of becoming an oppressor is never to be forced.”
"The driving force is only greed."
