Chapter 50: Ruffians
The producer Li Yixiang refers to is actually the production director.
In more formal production crews, this position is mostly appointed by the producers and investors. He is mainly responsible for various chores in the crew, and he also holds a certain amount of financial power. He is responsible for buying props, putting out lunch boxes, and hiring extras. Go to the account.
If it is a less formal crew, or if there is no designated production director, the crew will often hire people like Chen Xuebin. Their financial power cannot be compared with that designated by the management, and their position has also changed from production director to nominal deputy director.
All in all, this is equivalent to the butler of the crew, and in some cases can even restrict the director.
Although Gao Qunshu himself is an investor this time and the rights of the production director will definitely be reduced a lot, Xu Kun is still not someone he can touch.
So after learning that the production director was interested in playing Feng Biao, Xu Kun completely gave up on this idea.
The next day, Gao Qunshu sent someone the script and contract. Xu Kun signed the performance contract and began studying the script at home.
When he played Tang Chaoyang previously, Xu Kun could only give a half-hearted performance, but this time Han Yueping was like looking in a mirror in many things.
Xu Kun's role next to Zhang Yong was almost exactly the same as Han Yueping's role next to Liu Huaqiang. The only difference was that Han Yueping was brave and resourceful, while Xu Kun was more brave and less resourceful.
Now that Xu Kun has made up for his shortcomings, he is even more comfortable playing Han Yueping.
However, he did not slack off because it was a true performance. Instead, he spent seven or eight days using Li Yixiang's character analysis method to create a biography of Han Yueping.
Putting aside the branch entries, the main core is just four words: ruffian.
This may seem like nonsense at first glance, but it is actually the biggest and most solid fulcrum of Han Yueping's character. From beginning to end, he only tried to break away from this fulcrum once, and failed.
Although the hooligans in Shishi City seem to be doing all kinds of evil, most of them actually dare not get involved in lawsuits involving human lives. Usually, fatalities are caused by emotional mistakes. They do not dare to make a big deal about it afterwards, but try their best to cover up and escape.
Whether it is Song Huhu's prototype Ma XX or Feng Biao's prototype Sun XX, they are arrogant and arrogant, and they all follow this code of conduct on the public.
Song Huhu had never been involved in a human life lawsuit in his life, so he never received a too severe sentence despite being in and out of court. Feng Biao was relatively unmeasured in his actions and had several accidents, but he would try his best to cover it up afterwards.
Liu Huaqiang was actually like this in the early stage. The watermelon seller was injured but not dead. Even if he shot Feng Biao, it was aimed at his legs.
Later, in order to avenge his brother, he took the initiative to break this boundary and openly killed his former enemy, the former arcade owner Wu Tian.
This is why Feng Biao was so frightened that he ran away overnight wearing red pants after hearing the news.
Because he understood that Liu Huaqiang had no scruples and had upgraded from a local gangster to a real gangster, just looking for his life.
This is enough to prove that there is still a boundary between ruffians and desperate gangsters.
Let’s go back and talk about Han Yueping.
Because he gave up so quickly after being caught, many people thought Han Yueping was a softie.
But in fact, in the early and mid-term, whether it was stabbing Song Huhu's younger brother or collaborating with Hu Dahai to break Feng Biao's legs with trolls, Han Yueping never gave in to him in the slightest. In terms of ruthlessness, he was not much worse than Liu Huaqiang.
Because none of this goes beyond the boundaries of ruffians.
But when Liu Huaqiang took Jinbao and Dapeng, whom he helped introduce, and started killing people in Shishi, Han Yueping was a little unable to keep up with the version.
Because he is a gangster, he runs rampant.
Because he was a gangster, he began to be afraid.
This approach of going beyond the agreed rules and leaving no escape route obviously caused great psychological pressure on Han Yueping, but he still tried his best to keep up with his elder brother.
So after discovering that Li Li knew many things about Liu Huaqiang, Han Yueping resolutely decided to kill Li Li for Liu Huaqiang. Although he failed due to an accident midway, it was enough to prove his ruthlessness and loyalty.
So why did Han Yueping become intimidated so quickly and completely after being arrested?
Xu Kun believes that the key to the problem may lie in the murder of Song Laohu and the arrest of Han Yueping in the mall. When Song Laohu openly raped Han Yueping's wife, Liu Huaqiang had no intention of risking his life. In the end, Han Yueping took the initiative to call the police and rescued his wife.
After Liu Huawen was chopped, Liu Huaqiang immediately went on a killing spree. With only suspicion and no evidence, he asked Jinbao to kill Song Huaqiang.
The most important thing for people who go out to hang out is face. According to the evaluation system agreed upon in the Tao, Han Yueping's hatred is actually greater and deeper than Liu Huawen's hatred, and the evidence is conclusive.
Although Liu Huawen is Liu Huaqiang's biological brother, Han Yueping is also Liu Huaqiang's childhood friend. He has been with Liu Huaqiang for at least more than ten years. He has shed blood and sold his life, and has worked hard and made great achievements.
Even though there is a difference in relationship, the treatment is so different...
Therefore, Xu Kun believed that Han Yueping was dissatisfied with this.
However, Liu Huaqiang unexpectedly asked Han Yueping to meet him in a shopping mall, but failed to show up in the end, which also led to Han Yueping being captured by the police, which further chilled Han Yueping.
That's why he confessed so happily in the end.
Xu Kun showed this biography to Li Yixiang and Gao Qunshu successively, and both of them gave good comments, especially the core summary of ruffians, both of whom agreed.
This made Xu Kun more confident and prepared to make some fine-tuning for Han Yueping like he did in "The Blind Shaft".
However, Han Yueping's line is a relatively complete line, and unlike Tang Chaoyang who has undergone 'surgery' on his character, there is not so much room for free play. At most, he can only do it on a certain important node. Some attempts.
In May, the closer the departure date is, the more key members of the crew get together and have more time to develop a tacit understanding.
Xu Kun and Li Yixiang, as well as Chen Bing, who plays Hu Dahai, and Zhang Li, who plays Wang Dapeng, followed Sun Honglei in and out of various entertainment venues for several days.
The behavior and behavior are all based on those in the play, just to get a feel for it in advance.
I have to say that the director chose Sun Honglei to play Liu Huaqiang, which is really a wise and discerning person.
Xu Kun was a little unconvinced at the beginning. Since he had been in this field before and had met a lot of 'big brothers' in the house, he wanted to break up with Sun Honglei.
So one time when he went to a disco, he didn't act according to the role, but used his shameless face to suppress Sun Honglei's momentum.
Xu Kun succeeded at first, but when Sun Honglei reacted, he regained the focus with his lines and facial expressions.
Finally, he put his arm around Xu Kun's shoulders and said with a smile: "Kun'er, if you do this, your brother Li will have nothing to eat."
This Brother Li refers to Zhang Li. He plays another gunman Zhou Dapeng in the play. In the finale, there is a scene where he bites the muzzle of a gun and becomes fierce, which fully demonstrates his crazy side.
What Sun Honglei meant was that the most Xu Kun could do was go to 'Zhou Dapeng' and not threaten him like 'Liu Huaqiang'.
Xu Kun was convinced now.
If ordinary people were to judge who was more of a gangster just now, Xu Kun would definitely be elected with a high vote; but if people were to judge who was more dramatic just now, it would definitely be Sun Honglei who is better.
Xu Kun is an original real gangster, while Sun Honglei is a gangster who performs according to the audience's preferences.
How can a real gangster's performance be entertaining?
True acting is not a magic weapon that can be tried and tested, especially for a role that requires appropriate exaggeration.
Xu Kun casually pried open two bottles of beer with a lighter, placed one in front of Sun Honglei, then picked up the other bottle and touched it, and praised sincerely: "Brother Honglei, with your momentum just now, you are better than the others on the road. Big brother is more like a big brother!”
After saying that, Gududu blew a whole bottle into his mouth to apologize for the provocation just now.
Sun Honglei laughed loudly, picked up the wine bottle and blew to his lips, then turned the bottle upside down to show it, and said: "Brothers, please restrain yourself tomorrow, I will take you to meet the actress in our drama. "
