Chapter 427, Each One's Morality

Belief and will are the principles and temperament that a leader must possess.

Yan Xiaoguo is a leader.

He led 300 elite warriors to this place, a leader who was on a road that was almost certain to die.

No matter what era, dying in a foreign land is never a good thing. Returning to one's roots is deeply rooted in the hearts of every Chinese.

Including Fang Xing, played by Simon Yam, his greatest wish is actually to be rehabilitated and then return home, to his hometown.

The pursuit across a foreign land must be accompanied by faith and will.

It is definitely not something that can be defeated with just a few words. "I heard that you love gambling. Loving gambling is a good thing. If you have a hobby, you will be obsessed with it. If you are obsessed with it, you will do anything."

Yan Xiaoguo sees through everything about the "gambler" played by Zhen Zidan.

This is also the theme of this movie.

If you are persistent, you will do anything. In this movie, everyone has their own persistence - this is the part that Chen Kexin appreciates most about her script.

Their persistence.

The persistence of a gambler, the persistence of an actor, the persistence of a coachman, the persistence of a businessman.

They all have their own stories.

The actor's persistence is to avenge his father and to help his family return to their roots and hometown.

The gambler's obsession is his daughter, the wife who married the businessman as a concubine.

The driver’s persistence is the young master’s, the businessman’s favor, and the little man’s repayment of favor.

A businessman's persistence is to take sides in order to make his wealth sustainable.

The beggar returned the lost iron fan to the merchant.

This group of bodyguards all have their own obsessions and desires, which is why they were summoned by Chen Shaobai to protect Sun Yat-sen. In fact, this is a bit like the rhythm of a Hollywood blockbuster.

Each teammate with special skills has his own morals and reasons to participate in the action, even to the point of sacrificing his life.

"The Bodyguard and the Killer".

This is the original name of "October Besieged City" This is Chen Kexin's secret weapon to combine the main theme of the movie script of "October Besieged City" with the elements of eye-catching action commercial movies.

Hollywood's narrative rhythm Group portrait, Hollywood.

The experience gained from "The Warlords" was applied in "The Siege of the City in October".

"Liu Yubai, Young Master Iron Fan, is so handsome."

At this moment, Chen Kexin looked at the elegant Iron Fan Young Master in front of him and was very satisfied with his image and performance . He was also very pleased with the character setting and structure he made in "October Besieged City". This was what he was proud of in this script. Thousands of people with different faces worked together to do one thing because of one order. How cool it was.

Xie Qingya next to her also nodded slightly.

Indeed, this Hollywood-style characterization method is very interesting. The development structure of the plot is also very interesting.

The truth that transcends strata and classes because of a will and a goal is the feeling of "The Siege of the City in October". "The newly revised script has many details, but I feel that sometimes some things are a bit unnecessary." Chen Kexin is still a little concerned about the change of the script.

He felt that perhaps these minor changes in details were not a big deal. "Really?"

Xie Qingya said calmly: "Well, let's wait and see."

Liu Yubai.

The martial arts champion, the Four Heavenly Kings, the character played by Li Ming, is the fighting force 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 in his current situation as a beggar. Li Ming thinks that there are some particularly interesting aspects of this character.

A martial arts champion, he fell into depravity because he could not control his emotions. After his depravity, he pursued opium and became a beggar who was neither human nor ghost. He even pawned his family heirlooms for opium.

What is pawned is not just treasure, but dignity.

His own dignity, the dignity of his family. But when all dignity was lost, he became degenerate.

In the end, it was only after the merchant 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 motivation was entirely to repay a favor.

In order to repay Li Yutang's kindness, Li Ming also felt that this motive was indeed tenable.

I also have a deep feeling for the character.

"I just feel like I don't have much sense of participation." At this time, Li Ming said softly, "There is a little disconnection."

At this time, he was reviewing the script with Li Yutang.

A man who loves his stepmother, due to cowardice, inferiority and guilt, once fell into depravity. From the former martial arts champion, he has now become a heavy smoker who has fallen on the streets.

Opium is a good thing.

He can make people forget the past, numb themselves temporarily, and find peace in the corner of their thoughts.

This is the symbol of depravity, the symbol of sin.

"So your stepmother's role was deleted here, right?" Wang Xueqi joked, "Your role is really interesting."

"Right. A depraved guy becomes the last guard of the bodyguard team in the end. Is it really okay to leave the most dangerous place to me?"

Li Ming touched his chin. Is it really possible? A degenerate smoker.

In the script at this time.

The slightly modified parts came out.

Li Yun came over and told Li Ming to shoot one more scene, and changed and deleted some of the scenes of his interaction with his stepmother.

"Lord Li Ming, the next part is very simple. You just need to stare at this thing. Keep staring at this thing, that's all."

At this time Li Yun took out something.

A prop.

A big cigarette.

When Li Ming saw the smoke, his eyes immediately became gloomy.

This is the feeling of Liu Yubai. Over the years, he has been able to survive in the world only by relying on the anesthesia of opium.

Living in a muddle.

But he also woke up suddenly.

The fallen person is himself.

But why would I, a degenerate, choose opium to represent my depravity? Because it is the best symbol of depravity.

The British Empire, the opium exporter, brought this evil from across the ocean.

Because I'm so depraved.

Only then did I realize how evil this thing represents.

gambler.

For Yan Xiaoguo, gamblers are a good example.

Because he has a hobby.

He is obsessed.

So we can make good use of it.

These are the good chess pieces and props.

Without these obsessions and hobbies, you will not be exploited.

His motivation.

It was entrusted by his wife.

Oh no, it’s my ex-wife.

Please protect my current husband. Your daughter cannot be without her father.

You can say this script.

Chen Kexin injected too many entertainment elements into it.

And this element of entertainment is engraved in Chen Kexin's instinct.

He knows what kind of script will attract box office.

He knows what the audience likes.

Although this element of entertainment is a bit frivolous, we have to admit that some elements can make the dull plot more interesting.

At this moment, Zhen Zidan was holding his daughter's doll.

Cry freely.

The sound of crying.

He had no special feelings for Li Yutang, and even felt a little jealous because Li Yutang took away his wife and daughter. But he had to admit that only he could give his wife and daughter a good life.

Hatred.

envy.

fierce.

But he must not be allowed to die.

I can't let my daughter lose her father.

This feeling.

The script is presented with great clarity.

Zhen Zidan also first presented his expression of literary drama here. In the past, people thought that he was just a warrior who only knew how to wield guns and sticks.

But now it seems.

But it is not.

This self-analysis.

Decision and attachment.

They are all presented before our eyes.

He can also handle complex emotions.

"That's right, our Master Zhen can also act in literary dramas." Wang Xueqi said about this.

"He is a big star actor after all. Even if he got to this position by relying on martial arts, one quality 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 still need some acting skills."

In the script.

This gambler can only show his human side in front of his daughter.

And his last scene is before the final battle.

Just looking at my daughter.

When he came to see his daughter.

But she found that her life in this family was not as good as she had imagined.

The young lady of the Li family.

It's not that easy to be that person.

It’s not because she is not Li Yutang’s biological daughter.

Because she is a woman.

It's that simple.

Concubine, female.

Even if you live in a wealthy family, how good can you live ?

Life will definitely be better than living with him, a gambler.

There is no doubt about this.

only.

At this time.

The gambler couldn't help but think.

Even if Li Yutang went back, so what?

My daughter is still inferior here.

Coachman.

For the driver.

The master could teach him to read and write.

He was already so grateful that he shed tears.

Thank you very much, sir.

Can give me, a humble servant, the right to read and write.

It's really tear-jerking.

Deng Asi played by Xie Tingfeng.

I have absolutely humble gratitude towards Li Yutang and Li Chongguang.

That feeling of humility that comes from the heart and soul.

This is what people need to do in this era.

Because servants are servants.

Because untouchables are untouchables.

They do not need to read or write, nor are they able to do so; knowledge is useless and out of reach for them.

I'm just thinking about how many passengers my rickshaw can pick up tomorrow.

Is this enough? Xie Tingfeng seemed to understand the contradiction.

The contradiction caused by the combination of the actor himself and the role.

As a young person in the new century, being taught to read, write and go to school is a right, even an obligation, that everyone can have.

And in this era.

To the rickshaw driver Deng Asi, these rights and obligations seemed like illusions.

Like the stars in the sky.

Unpredictable.

I like the clerk in the drapery store.

I want to write a love letter to her.

But I also need the young master to write for me.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

I also want to learn 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, I am a slave, and I have a good master.

But my fate ultimately depends on my master.

Not on yourself.

Is this reasonable?

Minor lens additions.

Slightly deleted or added scenes.

In fact, it does not affect the overall perspective 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 sending them to their deaths?"

These are Chen Shaobai's original lines.

Chen Shaobai was scolding Li Yutang here.

Scold the businessman for using unscrupulous means to trick a group of people into working for him.

Do they know what they are going to do tomorrow?

Do they know who they are sacrificing for, who they are bleeding for? This is in the script.

Chen Shaobai originally scolded in a condescending manner.

In the original script, they really didn't understand.

It seems to be in today's script.

They may not understand where to go.

It seems to be ignorant and hazy.

It seems that there are only Chen Shaobai and Li Yutang who are high and mighty.

Only then did I understand.

Only then will you understand the meaning of revolution, what democracy is, and what freedom is.

Chen Kexin realized it belatedly and stared at the set and her own script.

It just looks like it's been slightly modified.

But the actual changes are made.

A lot.

Very, very many!

Wait until the effect is taken.

It's completely different from what I expected.

"No, this is not my script! This is totally different from my script!"

It is obvious that apart from Chen Shaobai, Li Yutang and Li Chongguang, no one understands the significance of protecting Sun Yat-sen.

No one understands what it means.

"arrogant!"

At this time, Li Yun looked at Chen Kexin who seemed to be in another world and said.

"You are so arrogant. You have the arrogance of someone who is high and mighty and who is here to save all living things. You think the rickshaw driver doesn't understand, you think the beggar doesn't understand, you think the actor doesn't know, you think the gambler doesn't know."

"Tell me, these deceived people, are they following you to protect Sun Yat-sen out of some selfish sense of justice? How arrogant must you be to think that knowing the freedom of this world is your privilege!"

At this time, Chen Kexin was looking at the young man in front of her.

This young director, who he thought he could handle at will in the beginning, has now taken the entire rhythm to a wild level.

The elites who are high above.

Arrange these hard-working people from the lower classes 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.

Someone who is willing to shed blood and tears.

They would never go down this path for various selfish reasons.

They have their own absolute morality.

And are attracted and condensed by the morality in their hearts.

This is the team of the October Siege, bodyguards and killers.

The morality of a killer, the morality of a bodyguard!

A sense of overwhelming power flowed through the entire crew.

This feeling of power comes from belief.

The belief comes from this ragtag team of bodyguards.

Just a minor change in the script.

Let this belief unite all the actors who play the roles.

Coachmen, beggars, gamblers, and actors.

Lowlife guys.

Because of moral resonance.

This kind of magic, this kind of belief, actually made their acting skills reach a higher level.

This is a perfect fit between the script and the character.

“How many more surprises can he give me?”

At this moment, Liang Jiahui's hands holding the script were shaking a little, and it was a trembling of absolute excitement.

What kind of freak is this?

To be able to write such a magical script.

The script revised by Li Yunxin did not have much impact on him. After all, his role as Chen Shaobai was a character that you could understand and implement.

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 seemed to understand.

The significance of protecting Sun Yat-sen.

There is morality in this.

Because the director has such a sense of conviction.

This is how all the actors can understand the main idea.

Tony Leung Ka Fai.

Chen Shaobai.

You are a director with such a sense of conviction.

I really hope to meet you, Yan Xiaoguo.

And what follows is one of the most core scenes, between Li Yun’s Yan Xiaoguo and Liang Jiahui’s Chen Shaobai.

The confrontation between them.

Today's show.

Everybody is here.

Among them is the self-important Xie Tingfeng, who has very complicated feelings towards Li Yun.

It was Li Yun who taught him how to play the role of the rickshaw driver.

It was Li Yun who made him realize this.

In this era, people like the coachman should have the anger and awareness that he should have.

You can say that.

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 ability to say that soldiers should die in the wilderness.

That kind of loyalty and fidelity.

But as Li Yun, he seemed to understand the significance of revolution very well.

Without sincere recognition, there would be no such acting skills.

So where does his thinking lie?

Very contradictory.

I'd really like to take a look.

Look at his roles, his acting.

Looking forward to what’s next.

The actor with a thousand faces, he will use several tenths of his strength.

Go and perform against Li Yun.

Xie Tingfeng and Liang Jiahui have acted together.

He asked then.

He asked Tony Leung Ka Fai how much of his skills he could exert.

Liang Jiahui said about 70%.

I don’t know how much Li Yun can do.

This Tony Leung is a master of many faces who can control himself freely.

When it comes to releasing one's acting skills, one can reach an extremely detailed level.

A level of meticulous control that approaches perfection.

This is the actor with a thousand faces.

Tony Leung Ka Fai.

"Sir, you haven't eaten, drank, or talked all day. I'm worried about your stomach."

Yan Xiaoguo came in with soup and food. This ferocious leader of the Qing assassins had traveled to Hong Kong with 300 assassins, prepared to die in a foreign land at risk.

He had great respect for Chen Shaobai, the spokesman of the revolutionary party, and even called him teacher.

Calls himself a student.

Yan Xiaoguo is Chen Shaobai's student.

A student who can understand what Chen Shaobai said.

"Are you full so you can send me on my way?"

"Students should remember that once a teacher, always a father."

At this time Yan Xiaoguo raised his head.

Look at this thief leader.

Their eyes met.

The show began.
