Amid the smoke, Luo Shen sat there calmly, accepting the gazes of Zhang Yuqin and every audience member in the theater.
He is a murderer, a cruel 'devil', but at this moment he has no remorse at all.
At this moment, Liu Ye has successfully washed away everything that the characters he had played before represented, including brightness, decency and justice.
He looked up, and even though he was wearing a tattered round-necked shirt, his arrogance was revealed as he lit a cigarette and exhaled.
Regardless of whether the audience hates and dislikes his performance at this time, Shu Payne has to admit that this kind of "devil" is more distinct and more impressive to the audience than the image of him trembling when facing the victim's family members who came to his door.
He looked down upon Zhang Yuqin, as if he was mocking her, looking at her like a lifeless ghost. She had clearly exposed herself and should be at her wit's end, but under Zhang Yuqin's gaze, he even smiled and crossed his legs.
"Devil" is Liu Ye's transitional work and he has been completely successful.
Shu Peien could even imagine how big a sensation the movie would cause when it was released in China. Seeing this, he felt that Liu Ye had made an important move.
He was fortunate to have chosen an excellent script, which left him room to perform. Most importantly, Liu Ye met a good opponent, a newcomer who could keep his composure under his superb acting skills and perform very well.
Even if an experienced veteran actor were to replace him, the surprise he brought to Shu Peien might not be as deep as Jiang Se's.
The acting skills contest between the two complement each other, like a master teaching his moves. With Jiang Se's dedicated performance, the image of Liu Ye is made so vivid and so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The audience was furious at Luo Shen's frankness, but Zhang Yuqin was very calm.
She didn't need Luo Shen's confession because what she wanted was Luo Shen's life.
In the cinema, the audience watched the competition between Zhang Yuqin and Luo Shen with great nervousness. A woman's madness was fully displayed in Zhang Yuqin.
After she confirmed her enemy, she calmly asked for leave from the company and concentrated on killing Luo Shen.
The mother who lost her child was as ferocious as a tiger. Luo Shen, who was at ease in the beginning, gradually felt passive. Zhang Yuqin's desperate revenge pushed him into the quagmire step by step.
She had nothing left, no children, no family, and she had even given up on her future. She didn't care about her own life, and the trouble she created forced Luo Shen's tailor shop to close.
This "devil" who was extremely arrogant at the beginning gradually became anxious. When Zhang Yuqin sneaked into his house, knocked his mother unconscious, and put Luo Shen in a desperate situation, the fight between the two finally broke out in the dyeing and weaving factory.
Shu Payen had actually speculated earlier whether Zhao Rang would arrange such a fight scene, but privately he felt that it was unlikely.
Jiang Se is a woman and there is a big gap in her innate physical strength compared to Liu Ye.
If a fight scene like this is just for show and the filming effect is not good, it will easily ruin the foreshadowing in the early stages.
What’s more, most of today’s female stars are delicate and delicate, and they use body doubles for many scenes, for fear that injuries will affect their advertising endorsements and attendance at commercial activities.
Once the fight really starts, if they show some restraint, the show will not be good, and the foreshadowing of the first 100 minutes may be ruined by the entanglement of the last few minutes. If they do not show some restraint, how to fight with passion is also very challenging, and it requires both stars to have the courage to risk everything.
But "Devil" once again exceeded Shu Payne's expectations. Zhao Rang not only arranged a fierce fight between the two, but also had no intention of just letting the two leading actors "perform".
When Zhang Yuqin was beating people like a madman and Luo Shen was fighting back brutally, one was doing it for her dead daughter, integrating her resentment and anger into the things she took, and the other was doing it to save his own life.
In this scene, Zhang Yuqin, played by Jiang Se, did not look good. She was already so thin that she had no aesthetic appeal at all. Her distorted expression was even more shocking. However, Shu Payen had to say that this scene was very real.
It was so real that when he saw Zhang Yuqin, regardless of his own injuries, taking the old scrap iron water pipe that he had prepared long ago and smashing it at Luo Shen, as if he was determined to die together with him, his palms clenched involuntarily, and cold sweat covered his palms.
The sound made when the iron pipe hits a person is transmitted to the ears of every audience member through the excellent sound effects. It feels like a punch to the flesh, and it hurts very much when you hear it.
This kind of scene gave Shu Pain the feeling that he was not watching a movie, but rather a real bloody fight documentary.
It's very enjoyable.
Every time Zhang Yuqin attacked, she was accompanied by her resentment. Jiang Se, played by her, was very thin, but her eyebrows and eyes were fierce, as if to remind everyone, never try to provoke a mother who loves her daughter like her life! Her desperate fighting style quickly left Luo Shen scarred and unable to move.
She gasped, threw away the iron pipe in her hand, and dragged up the dying Luo Shen. At this moment, Zhang Yuqin herself was shaky, but her actions were still very firm.
"The place I chose for you is also a dyeing and weaving factory. Don't you think it's a good match?"
She was seriously injured, but still asked Luo Shen with a smile.
The face was beaten beyond recognition, and the instinctive reaction of pain was probably not just a disguise.
Even with the help of the makeup artist, Jiang Se should have been injured, and her limping movement while walking added to the authenticity of the script.
Luo Shen's head was covered in blood, but he laughed out loud when he heard this.
"It's fate that I chopped your daughter into several pieces right here." He grinned, blood mixed with sweat poured into his mouth, filling every gap between his teeth with a striking red color:
"Any cigarettes?"
He asked, but Zhang Yuqin ignored him and continued to look through the things he brought.
"She was still shouting 'Mom' at the time," he deliberately angered Zhang Yuqin. The audience's anger reached its peak at this time. The impression of this perverted and bloody killer had been deeply rooted in people's minds. Zhang Yuqin did not get angry. She just tied Luo Shen tightly and said calmly:
"It's okay, you'll call me mom later, too."
This dyeing and weaving factory was already on the verge of being eliminated by society and on the brink of bankruptcy. After the bodies were dug out, it became a key place for police investigation. The old employees were afraid of this place. Someone had died in the factory, and the leaders had no choice but to order a temporary suspension of work. All the people were evacuated, making it a perfect place for murder.
Luo Shen's mother was pushed out. She was old and had tears in her eyes as she faced her son who was beaten beyond recognition.
When he saw his mother, Luo Shen could hardly keep his smile on his face. His face turned pale. On the contrary, Zhang Yuqin smiled and pushed the mother and son closer. (To be continued)
