With the name of a literary film, in fact, "Echo of the Cape" is a gangster film.
The background of this story is from the end of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century. It tells the story of a wage earner who first came to Hong Kong City to look for a job. He was gradually attracted by the bustling city. The gangster's seizure of power, by virtue of his astute wisdom and extremely high charisma, finally won the hearts of the people and became a legend of the gangster leader.
Maybe you want to say, this story is too fake, it is simply idealistic, an ordinary wage earner is clearly in danger, and in the end he can become the leader of a gangster, is there any common sense logic? However, there is actually a reference to this story.
It is said that more than 400 years ago, an ordinary wage earner struggled in the society, slowly washed his whites, and finally founded his own business empire. Oh, by the way, this wage earner seems to be surnamed He, probably because he has done too many bad things in the past, and his descendants have been passed down for hundreds of years...
In it, Chu Yan plays the protagonist of the gangster's seizure of power, a young and ambitious gangster leader and the second head of the society. In this story, the gang leader he plays aims at the position of the head of the family, borrowing a policy issue from the government to frame the head of the family, and wants to seek power and usurp the throne.
The bag snatching incident was the beginning, and after that, the young leader planned countless cases frantically, putting the whole gang in dire straits, in order to seek power in troubled times and get the chair of the big boss.
Of course, his ending was cut off by the actor according to gang rules, and he was finally expelled from Hong Kong City. The method of expulsion is also very special. It is packed in sacks and thrown into the sea. If you can escape, then escape, if you cannot escape, then die.
There are too many gang members who died under this young leader. Even a friend who trusted him the most was killed by his schemes and tricks, and finally died with regret. If the old master hadn't interceded for him, according to what he had done, he would have been poured with cement to death, which would have been the best ending.
It was already night when Chu Yan came to the set, the movie had already started, and the male and female protagonists were acting on the set.
The leading actor is Qin Borong, a well-known top actor who won the Golden Tripod Award for best actor, and the heroine is Liu Meng, a popular first-line artist who won the Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Tripod Award. The two are well-known on-screen couples. Before "Echo of the Cape", they were couples who had filmed several movies. Last year, they were voted as the second most popular on-screen couple.
Since they were filming when Chu Yan came, Chu Yan didn't say hello to them. Instead, after talking with the director, he went to the dressing room to change into his costume, put on a special effect makeup, and decided on his look .
When Qin Borong was talking with the director, he saw a tall and handsome figure out of the corner of his eye. He subconsciously turned his head to take a look, then froze for a moment, and after a few more glances, he said with a smile: "It seems that this is our Qiu Fu?"
Director Jiang Hongzheng also raised his head when he heard the words. After seeing Chu Yan's outfit, a gleam of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's right, it's obvious that this is Qiu Fu, Ke Yuanyu, you have to pay attention Now, this is your opponent."
Qiu Fu is Chu Yan's character name in the play, and Ke Yuanyu is the actor's character name.
After making a joke, Director Jiang began to introduce Chu Yan: "Come here, Xiaoyan, this is Qin Borong, you should know him. As for Xiaoqin, I don't need to introduce you, right? The candidate for Qiu Fu this time is We reviewed it together, and you should be satisfied."
Qin Borong smiled and nodded, and said, "Of course I am satisfied. This is the first time we meet, let's get to know each other, Chu Yan, I am Qin Borong."
There was a gentlemanly and polite smile on the man's handsome face. The attitude of the other party is considered good in the entertainment circle, which gave Chu Yan a good first impression. He also stretched out his hand to hold Qin Borong's, and said with a smile: "You Alright, Teacher Qin, I am Chu Yan."
Upon hearing this, Qin Borong was unhappy: "Why did I become a teacher?"
Director Jiang said from the side: "This is respect for you, aren't you happy?"
Qin Borong said helplessly: "I am only twenty-nine years old. Chu Yan, if you call me teacher again, I will be angry. You can call me Brother Qin from now on. If you can't, Brother Qin will also Row."
Chu Yan smiled immediately: "Brother Qin."
After the three talked for a while, Director Jiang called the stylist to tidy up Chu Yan's hair a little bit, and finally nodded with great satisfaction, approving the look. But when Chu Yan turned around and went back to change clothes, Director Jiang said meaningfully: "When I saw Chu Yan coming out just now, I really felt as if I saw Qiu Fu."
Qin Borong said "Oh" with great interest, and asked, "Like it?"
Director Jiang nodded, and said in a solemn tone, "It's exactly what I thought in my heart."
Qin Borong nodded slightly when he heard the words, he didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either.
When Qin Borong saw that boy before, he had to admit that he was a little surprised.
Qiu Fu is an extremely vicious and vicious character in "Echo of the Cape". He looks feminine and good-looking, but he has a heart like a snake and a scorpion, and his methods are extreme.
But just now, when Chu Yan walked out of the dressing room step by step, Qin Borong seemed to have really seen such a terrifying and cruel Qiu Fu. This kind of cruelty is driven by the desire for power, bloodthirsty and crazy, like a mad dog, ready to bite people everywhere at any time.
The boy's black hair was fixed by hairspray and turned to the left. The entire right half of his cheek was exposed. He had a good face, delicate and beautiful. The only flaw was a hideous wound under the corner of his right eye. I don't know how the wound was done. It was about the size of a thumbnail. Although the bleeding had stopped, there was still a light pink scar left.
In this make-up, Chu Yan's lips were lightened, almost pale, but with this morbid appearance, Chu Yan...or Qiu Fu, has a viciousness that no one can ignore.
At least in terms of shape and temperament, Chu Yan's image is completely in line with Qiu Fu's. It's just that this fit doesn't mean that Chu Yan's temperament itself is as sinister as Qiu Fu, but that he uses his acting skills to unconsciously give people the illusion that "this person is Qiu Fu". For example, after Chu Yan changed back into his clothes and removed all the makeup, Jiang Hongzheng and Qin Borong no longer felt that "the boy in front of them is Qiu Fu".
Chu Yan himself is a relatively easy-going person. Although it is impossible to have a direct heart-to-heart conversation when meeting him for the first time, talking to him will always make people feel very relaxed—anyway, when facing Qiu Fu, it is absolutely impossible to have such a feeling. feel.
In the evening, before the crew finished filming, Chu Yan also met the heroine Liu Meng. Female No. 2 can only join the group on the second day, so that night, Chu Yan only greeted the male and female protagonists, male No. 3, and female No. 3, and got to know each other. Put things away.
The next day Chu Yan officially joined the crew, and the little assistant carefully prepared some thoughtful gifts to build a good relationship with the crew. Director Jiang, who received the gift, narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said, "Xiaoyan really has a heart. If that's the case, then we won't shoot the fighting scene in the first scene. Let's relax first, and let's shoot this scene."
After the words fell, Director Jiang waved his arms, deciding the first scene after Chu Yan joined the group. This first scene is not an action scene of a gang fight, let alone a rivalry scene with Qin Borong, but a rivalry scene with the heroine Liu Meng.
Liu Meng's role in the movie is called Li Ran, a young policewoman who does not let her eyebrows down. Although she is young, she has handled many big cases. Just like this time, she arrested Qiu Fu, the second head of the Hongyi Society, into the police station. After the game is over, cross-examine carefully.
As far as the action is concerned, the difficulty of this scene is really not high. Chu Yan doesn't even have a few lines, but if you want to say that this scene is a "relax and relax" light-hearted scene, then Chu Yan is really going to be wronged: " Director Jiang, are you sure this is for me to relax?"
Jiang Hongzheng nodded, taking it for granted: "Isn't it? Look at Xiaoyan, you don't understand. You don't have a few lines in this scene. It's so simple. If you want to shoot a fighting scene, you still don't understand It’s really a bit of a struggle to use a knife and a gun, and you’re also new to the crew, so it’s better to get acquainted with it first.”
Jiang Dao spoke with a sincere tone and a very sincere expression, but if Chu Yan really believed Jiang Dao, then he could go back to the stove and rebuild, and practice for another hundred years.
But even though the difficulty of this scene is not low, Chu Yan has no intention of avoiding it at all, but is eager to try it.
Liu Meng is also a very good person. After learning that Chu Yan was going to play this scene with herself when she first joined the crew, she found Chu Yan and decided to help him match the scene before the film started today, and try to pass it once.
On the other side, Jiang Hongzheng, who was talking nonsense with his eyes open, smiled and stared at Chu Yan, who was playing with Liu Meng, and said, "If this scene can be passed in one go, it means that my eyesight is really good." As long as Qiu Fu's role can be performed smoothly, then our movie can be released ahead of schedule in time for the Golden Globe Awards."
Hearing this, Qin Borong smiled and said, "What if we can't make it?"
Jiang Dao said: "Can't catch up? I think that I can definitely catch up. What's more, he is also a double supporting actor for the Golden Phoenix Award. If his acting skills can't pass the test, then we all have to work harder, work overtime and stay up late to catch up. Try to release it early.”
After Jiang Hongzheng finished speaking, Qin Borong didn't answer. He looked up at Chu Yan and Liu Meng who were not far away, finally smiled and narrowed his eyes, and said, "I also think that we should be able to catch up..."
Soon, the props team was ready, lighting and radio were all ready, so Chu Yan and Liu Meng walked to the center of the set and waited for the shooting to start.
Before the filming started, the gentle Liu Meng said with a smile, "Don't worry if you don't do well the first time. Chu Yan, Director Jiang is not a very harsh person. He is considered a very good-tempered director."
After hearing this, Chu Yan smiled and said, "Thank you for your comfort, Sister Liu."
The two nodded in very tacit understanding, and then each walked to their seats. Chu Yan sat down, and Liu Meng picked up a thick document. One second, the atmosphere between the two was very harmonious, but the next second, when the word "start" sounded on the set, the situation changed drastically!
The young man sat in the simple interrogation room, his eyes were cold, and he looked at the air in front of him without focus. There was no expression on his pale and handsome face, and a scar at the corner of his eye was terrifying and ferocious, with a kind of cold taste.
But in front of him, the heroic young policewoman slapped the table fiercely, with piercing eyes and domineering aura, she said angrily: "Qiu Fu, don't play dumb for me! How could the five hundred grams of drugs be in your room?" In the car, don't try to quibble!"
