Chapter 706, double identity!
Xiangjiang.
"Infernal Affairs" set.
During the filming of the movie, Li Zhifan usually does not add any dramas randomly, and anyone who has followed him for a long time knows this.
Moreover, the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy itself does not have a redundant shot, and adding extra points will disrupt the rhythm of the story.
Li Zhifan occasionally lets the actors add to the scenes themselves. Anyway, the editing is in his own hands, so as long as there is no big change, there is generally no problem.
However, this time it made an example, adding drama to the character Yang Jinrong, and even changing his nature.
During the filming process, Jiang Hai, who played Yang Jinrong, became the most brilliant member of the crew.
This is mostly due to Jiang Hai's years of calm training. When he became famous, he had already passed the age of frivolity. Therefore, not only did he not expand, he took advantage of the opportunity to strictly monitor the script and the creative team. He did not want some young actors to make a lot of movies and accept everything in order to make money and traffic.
Especially some of the films are obviously bad, but because there are many popular stars participating in the show, the invited actors also bring other purposes to the group.
Jiang Hai accidentally mentioned when he was chatting with Li Zhifan that when he got the script of "Infernal Affairs", he wanted to play the role of Chen Yongren the most.
Speaking of the reason, Jiang Hai mentioned three points.
One is that Chen Yongren has huge flaws in his personality.
Especially the second script can be clearly reflected, because the death of the Ni family was actually indirectly caused by Chen Yongren.
Chen Yongren is a policeman. Everything he does is starting from justice, but he often deliberately wants to prove that he is a policeman, which led to the destruction of the Ni family.
Ni Yongxiao was actually not guilty and died. Chen Yongren has collected a lot of evidence over the past few years, which is enough to keep Ni Yongxiao for the rest of his life, but he let Huang Sir kill Ni Yongxiao. Although Ni Yongxiao is a society, he has absolutely nothing to say to Chen Yongren's younger brother. Chen Yongren had a hundred chance to save Ni Yongxiao, but he was beaten to death.
The undercover family has been undercover for so long, except for Ni Yongxiao, the rest of the family are doing the right thing. Even if they want to destroy their relatives for justice, are they innocent?
This is also the biggest reason why Chen Yongren would see a psychologist in the first drama. His years of undercover career is not the most fundamental reason, but because of the death of the Ni family. Even after the Ni family, because of the "police responsibilities", he had to go to Han Chen as an undercover agent. This seemingly contradictory and conflicting human nature has caused great psychological flaws.
The second is that the role of Chen Yongren is very difficult to play, and it is also the most difficult character in this drama.
In Jiang Hai's opinion, although Li Zhifan is not a young man, he is still a literary youth after all. He has no banditry look on his face. Why do people think he is a bad guy at first glance?
On the contrary, Jiang Hai has this ability because he can be portrayed by a decent villain.
But after the first part of "Infernal Affairs" was released, Jiang Hai was stunned. He had not felt it on the crew yet, but he sighed on the big screen, admired Li Zhifan's plasticity and the ability of the crew's stylist. His successful styling and casual performance did not have any sense of drama, but was very harmonious. He exuded a texture of assimilation of local actors in Xiangjiang. He would not think that there was anything wrong with him, a mainland actor, playing the undercover agent in Xiangjiang.
Another difficult thing to play is that Chen Yongren is essentially a policeman and a good person. If he is not careful, he will be compared by the villain's acting skills. In a sense, villains are more likely to be outstanding than good people, because bad people are more likely to show exaggerated expressions, body movements, etc.
Fortunately, Li Zhifan chose Chen Guanjun to play the role of Liu Jianming. In addition to being so handsome that Chen Guanjun was completely suppressed by Li Zhifan in his acting skills, especially his various eyes, which was enough to support a drama.
Although Chen Guanjun is already outstanding enough, as a villain undercover, his acting skills are still slightly inferior.
Although Jiang Hai really wanted to play Chen Yongren, after taking the role of Yang Jinrong and carefully pondering it, he became even more excited because this character is very critical and mysterious. The script did not clearly define his identity at the beginning, but even if Li Zhifan added the content of his role, the plot directly pushed another climax.
The third part is actually divided into two scenes. The first half is the scenes in the first half of Chen Yongren’s death. Although Chen Guanjun integrated the rhythm and the plot, it was better than when he was filmed in the first part, especially in the on-the-spot performance and emotional outbursts. The original version of the third part was specially added to him, and he also performed well.
Compared with the first two episodes, although Li Zhifan was only responsible for the first half, he also became Chen Guanjun's supporting role. This big supporting role is still slightly better than Chen Guanjun.
The second half is a match between Chen Guanjun, Jiang Hai and Zhou Shilei. Zhou Shilei was above the two of them as soon as he came up. Including Zhou Shilei, who also had a very strong role in the first half, was still the first-class player in front of Li Zhifan and Chen Guanjun.
The remaining two Chen Guanjun and Jiang Hai are comparable, because Jiang Hai's role limits his scope, and Jiang Hai's performance seems to be the middle-aged policeman who is the protagonist in Japanese and Korean movies, the actor-level performance.
In the original plot introduction, the description of Yang Jinrong is: Young Superintendent Yang Jinrong is moving towards the highest level of the police force with great achievements every page, and is less than 40 years old.
——The word young police superintendent is OK when you are under thirty years old, but under 40 years old, it can only be regarded as a young police superintendent. Jiang Hai is actually the most correct way to elevate the character to the middle-aged and young people.
During the filming process, Li Zhifan actually had new ideas about the editing of "Infernal Affairs 3". The original version gives people the feeling that it is one after another and keeps flashing back, so everyone will be confused.
In fact, the clue character is not clear, because the real clue character in the third part is Shen Cheng.
If the third part is edited from Shen Cheng's perspective or in the order of Shen Cheng's appearance, you will not be confused.
The original version is because Shen Cheng is the mainland actor Chen Daoming, and the director wants to play a board with time and space intertwined. The plot is fine and the filming is fine, but he is reluctant to put the focus from the Xiangjiang actor to Chen Daoming, a mainland actor, so it looks messy.
After all, movies are art for the public, so they naturally have to take care of all audiences.
There is actually no problem with the editing method of the original version. From an artistic perspective, it is completely Quentin's feeling, but after all, it is not that none of the audience is smart. Some people will directly make the movie a bad movie, making it mysterious, and they will not have the idea of watching it the second and third times.
Moreover, "Infernal Affairs" has a huge network of relationships and situations, and is not a simple story of a person committing a crime or losing his memory. Editing with time and space flashbacks can easily create a feeling of "a large collection of behind-the-scenes".
In addition, the biggest suspense in the third part is that Han Chen sets up five undercover agents. Liu Jianming is the first and the number one undercover agent. The second is Lin Guoping who was beaten to death by Liu Jianming in the first part. The third is Chen Jun, the fourth is a policeman under Officer Liang, and the fifth person... did not appear!
It should have been forgotten by the original director, but there is a clear hint in the third part, and it is very likely that it is Yang Jinrong.
Because there are two scenes in the play that have already explained the situation.
The first scene was in the police station. Chen Jun, a subordinate of Yang Jinrong, pointed a gun at Yang Jinrong and said, "Yang Sir, we are all working for Brother Chen. You should help me, otherwise you will not have a good life."
When the camera was given to Yang Jinrong, he looked calm and had no change. Then a gunshot rang out of the conference room, but his subordinate Chen Jun died.
This shows that some of the relationship between Yang Jinrong and Han Chen. Even the intelligence exchange personnel arranged by the senior management cannot be blatantly known to a Han Chen's inner demon. It is enough to show that Chen Jun knew Yang Jinrong very early and knew the relationship between Yang Jinrong and Han Chen. Then this node of understanding is likely when Han Chen arranged to be an undercover agent in the police academy.
Yang Jinrong killed someone without blinking and was extremely calm without panic, which shows that his personality was by any means, and even more cold-blooded and ruthless than Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming, but it also shows that he was hard to distinguish between loyalty and treacherous.
There is another scene where Liu Jianming lost control when he heard the recording played, and pointed at Yang Jinrong excitedly and said, "He is Liu Jianming, Liu Jianming is there, why don't you catch him!"
Schizophrenia is just not normal for normal people, but from various theories, mentally ill patients have their own set of logic. The original drama design may imply that Yang Jinrong's identity is the same as Liu Jianming, but it is just a more sophisticated infernal Affairs - a double undercover agent.
Therefore, the only scene that Li Zhifan added to Yang Jinrong was that in the tape left by Han Chen, there was a record of Yang Jinrong's record from the record. Yang Jinrong, as a senior police officer instructed to arrange for the security department to exchange information with Han Chen, was actually Han Chen inserted into the police station. However, after the turn of the way, he was finally beaten to death by Liu Jianming, the police senior management informed that Yang Jinrong, who died in the line of duty, was actually the same as Chen Yongren. Unexpectedly, he was sent back by Han Chen as a chess piece, and the senior management simply followed suit.
Why is Yang Jinrong’s dual identity the undercover agent sent by the police?
Because marksmanship exposed everything.
Lin Guoping killed Chen Yongren and shot the head.
When Liu Jianming killed Yang Jinrong, he also shot his head.
Neither Chen Yongren, Yang Jinrong or Shen Cheng shot, they had ever hit the other party in the head.
Even when Chen Yongren and Shen Cheng shot each other, one was hit by the hand and the other was hit by the foot.
This is because they are all real policemen. There is a lesson in the police school that when facing criminals, they are not shot dead, but knocked down. Therefore, these three people will not shoot their heads under any circumstances, because this regulation has become a conditioned reflex.
But Liu Jianming is not. He is always a thief. He also thinks he is a thief in his heart. He wants to be a good person and whoever stops and kills him. This shows us the difference between soldiers and thieves.
Yang Jinrong was shot and killed by shooting his head, just like Chen Yongren, first echoed the first part and once again proved that Liu Jianming was a thief.
Yang Jinrong took over Chen Yongren's role in the third part and was shot and killed by Liu Jianming. This is also Liu's last step into the Infernal Affairs path, which revolves around the Buddhist scripture in the film: Endless body and immortality, and longevity is the great disaster in the Infernal Hell.
In this way, Yang Jinrong's last mysterious color pushed the plot to a climax at the moment of decryption, followed by the final ending.
When the camera was given to Yang Jinrong, he looked calm and had no change. Then a gunshot rang out of the conference room, but his subordinate Chen Jun died.
This shows that some of the relationship between Yang Jinrong and Han Chen.
