crush the rich

"Do you think...he seems to have improved again?"

When the screenwriter asked, Yin Lian thought for a while, then nodded, and said: "This actor is very smart. He must have spent a lot of time on the role. He has a good control over the role and the strength of his performance is just right. , is the feeling of a 'thinker'."

What they were talking about was the candidate for the leading role in "Visible Evil".

In the minds of the screenwriter and Yin Lian, there is a core impression of the protagonist of "Visible Evil".

Although Yin Lian discussed with Luo Gu before, saying that this story needs a hero.But the policeman in this story is not a typical hero.Compared with a hero, his existence is closer to a "thinker" who pursues the truth.

This truth refers not only to the murder case, but also to the truth of this society.

The screenwriter presents the whole case to the society through the eyes and hands of the policeman—what is in the story, and the audience in front of the screen. Through the brain of the protagonist, he helps the audience who cannot think for themselves to clarify their thinking, and tells them what is The "evil" that belongs to the public.

As the saying goes: Those who do not know are not guilty.As the saying goes: the law does not blame the public.

But the current social reality and the trend of public opinion tell us that ignorance and ignorance are crimes.And the more the law does not blame the public, the easier it is for evil to hide in the crowd and show its teeth and claws.

The courses Yin Lian provided to Minister Li were essentially trying to teach the public how to think and discern information, but even so, it was impossible for everyone to learn how to think correctly immediately after taking the courses.There is a saying that knowing does not mean understanding, this is the truth.

So the purpose of all these dramas is nothing more than to help netizens digest this information and knowledge.

The protagonist is not so much a hero as he is the embodiment of many audiences.The audience explores the truth through his eyes, and he injects his thinking into the audience's mind through these stories.

So in this story, the protagonist often has a one-man show of thinking and analysis.His emotions must be very rich, because the audience's emotions will be very rich. When the two resonate, it will be easier for the audience to understand the meaning that the story wants to express.

From Yin Lian's point of view, the backup actor performed better than the leading actor in this regard.

She is very optimistic about each other.

After discussing with the screenwriter, she observed for a few more days, and then began to talk to the actors one by one to confirm the characters in the drama version.

During this period of time, there have been rumors in the crew that several young and beautiful actors are more likely to be selected for important roles. Yin Lian did not deliberately stop these rumors, which caused many actors to behave differently.

Among the young actors, some have worked harder, while others have become more contemptuous.Among the older actors, some were rehearsing hard as always, and some were unbearable and showed slack.

But in any case, the play must continue to be rehearsed.

After about a week, Yin Lian began to find people to determine the roles one by one.The leading actor of the drama was in a rather uneasy mood at first—although he had a better chance of talking to the understudy about the other party, the actual thoughts in his heart may not be so.From every point of view, the leading actor has deeper qualifications and richer experience. He thinks that the only thing he can't compare with the other party is his appearance... After all, he is not young anymore.

He felt that Yin Lian should choose him, but he didn't trust Yin Lian's vision and preferences.The theater troupe and the entertainment industry can be said to be two fields with completely different styles.Compared with the showbiz, which seeks innovation and traffic, theater troupes pay more attention to qualifications and strength.

And for medium-sized theater troupes, their mobility is smaller, so unless there are big names to cooperate, they will relatively pay more attention to the qualifications of the actors. Among the actors with similar strength, older actors with more qualifications Will have more power in choosing roles.

Of course, young and capable actors will also be valued, but this kind of value pays more attention to the transfer of status, and also pays more attention to a human touch, which is a kind of active compromise between each other.Compared with the entertainment industry with a large number of people, theater troupes still have competition, but most of the time it will not be so fierce.

The leading actor knew in his heart that Yin Lian probably wouldn't give him some favor because of his seniority.

But when it came time to negotiate, Yin Lian still gave him the role of police officer.When the news came out, the leading actor was pleasantly surprised, and even a little unbelievable, but the young actor who was the replacement was completely heartbroken.

Although he felt that his performance in the rehearsal was pretty good, maybe Yin Lian would be willing to give him some other role. The problem is that other roles also have their own actors, and they didn't perform hard or brilliantly, which made Yin Lian Rei kicked out the other performers of the main roles to make way for him...youth isn't that cocky yet, so I'm deeply skeptical about one point.

In his opinion, it is more likely that Yin Lian only chooses the group of actors he thinks is more suitable from the two lineups, and then directly eliminates the other group.

But Yin Lian found him again for a negotiation.

Since he was specially invited to talk to him, the young man felt that he might still have a chance.As for the possibility of euphemistically persuading him to leave in person, the young man had thought about it for a while, but prayed not.

When the two sides met, Yin Lian said, "I really like your performance."

When the young man heard this sentence, his mind began to buzz, and he had a strong sense of foreboding. He felt that a "but" was about to come out of Yin Lian's mouth, but Yin Lian said, "So I There is a very special role to offer you."

The young man was stunned for a long while before responding: "Ah?... Oh, you say."

Yin Lian took out the film and television script of "The Shape of Evil" and said, "Take it back first and read it."

The young man took the script and found a place to read according to Yin Lian's request.He read with fascination, and found that although the main line of the film and television version and the drama version are the same, they are completely different in terms of perspective and emotional entry point.

When Yin Lian left, the young man was still reading the script, so Yin Lian didn't call him, and didn't tell him which role he wanted him to play.

By the time the young man finished reading the script, it was already dark, and people had almost left.Only then did he realize that Yin Lian had gone away, and the two sides had not discussed the matter of the characters to any conclusion.

But even so, after the young man read the script, he naturally realized which role Yin Lian wanted him to play.

This is indeed a very important role.

In the drama script, this character has not really appeared, most of them just appear in other people's lines.This person is the murderer behind the whole case and the original victim of the tragedy, assuming the same identity as the female ghost Sadako in "Midnight Ring".

But this man died before the story begins.He has always existed as a character like a clue, with almost no positive roles. Even when he appeared as a memory scene, he just found a supporting role to make do with it, not an important role at all.

But in film and television scripts, the situation is completely different.

Although the main line is basically the same, he is more like the real protagonist of the story than the policeman who is just the observer and narrator of the whole incident.From the youth's point of view, the film and television version of "The Shape of Evil" has two protagonists, the outside and the inside. The policeman is only the protagonist on the surface. He is the embodiment of justice. He observes this story and tries to fight against the distorted "reason". Didn't really fit into the story.

In contrast, the teenager at the source of the virus is the real core of the story.

In the youth's previous understanding, this character should be a sad clue character, with the identity of both victim and avenger. Generally speaking, the image should be the opposite, between the villain and the weak, but after reading the movie script , he found himself wrong.

This boy... is actually another "police officer".

Like the shadow of a police officer on the water.

The police stand in the position of an outsider, thinking about justice and wrong, good and evil, and how to save those victims and prisoners.But the young man was stuck in the quagmire, trying to find a way out as a player in the situation.He repeatedly questioned why, crying blood in his voice, so after his death, he became mentally abnormal and turned into a virus, trying to punish those "assailants".

When the youth was rehearsing the play, he had always defined him as the source of the disaster, the symbol of the transformation of the victim into the perpetrator, but he found that he was wrong.

This character has also been looking for a "way out". The "rumor virus" is not so much a revenge of the boy, but rather a "way out" that he, who is physically weak but mentally strong, found... helplessly.

If there is no such "way out", there will be no thorns and thorns for Mr. Police Officer to see justice in the end.

Good actors are easy to empathize with, so after the young man read the script, he even froze, unable to move for a long time, and did not dare to move.

It seems that if you move a little, you will miss the heavy emotion in it.If he couldn't grasp the inspiration at that moment, he even felt that he was unforgivable.

Compared with drama scripts, film and television scripts are too sensational.Although in terms of the overall line style and plot performance, this is a relatively straightforward, refreshing, and more concise and easy-to-understand commercial script. The emotions are vented through lines and conflicts, far from the subtlety and depression of literary films, but even so, the young man's heart was kept in the script for a long time, and it took a long time before he sobbed.

He knew he wanted to play this role.

He wanted to play this role more than the policeman.

When they met the next day, he almost couldn't wait to express his wish to Yin Lian.Yin Lian also seemed to have anticipated his reaction, and offered to chat with him about his understanding of this role.

As a result, she asked a very strange question: "What do you think about suicide?"
