Chapter 436

After the director Yang Hao was confirmed, "Infernal Affairs" also officially entered the preparatory stage.

Including team building and so on, Yang Hao has a team he has been working with, and they are all at the top level in the industry.

Of course, the most urgent and most critical thing is the casting of "Infernal Affairs".

Both Yang Hao and Lin Xiao knew that it was impossible for "Infernal Affairs" to cast the same cast as the previous two films "My Sassy Girl" and "The Iron Fist of Shame".

Because "Infernal Affairs" has too high requirements for actors' acting skills.

In other words, the performance of the leading actor is directly related to the level of this movie.

Director Yang Hao, Assistant Director Chen He, Producer Xiao Jie, and Screenwriter Lin Xiao formed the audition jury and began to select the actors.

Although it is said that among the four people, people from Ling Xiao Pavilion occupy three seats, but in fact, the final decision-making power is still in the hands of Yang Hao, which is also determined by Yang Hao before taking the film.

In fact, this first audition, if it goes well, the two male leads will basically be settled.

However, Yang Hao had a lot of confidence in Wang Pengfei, and it was not that they had never cooperated before, but Yang Hao still had some doubts about Lin Xiao.

After all, Lin Xiao's works on the big screen are very few, and none of them are good at acting.

"I'm really sorry to have waited for you for a long time. Tianhai's traffic is really bad," Wang Pengfei explained with a smile, and after greeting each other, they sat down.

After a few polite chats, we started to get down to business.

"Which role does Pengfei plan to audition for?" Yang Hao asked.

"Liu Jianming!" Wang Pengfei said.

"Why Liu Jianming and not Chen Yongren?" Yang Hao asked curiously.

Although Yang Hao asked a little casually, Wang Pengfei knew that this was the beginning of the audition. Although he was the best actor, he didn't think that he could get all the roles by virtue of being the best actor.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Pengfei replayed the role of Liu Jianming in his mind before saying in a deep voice: "The most of the eight hells is called Wujian, which means suffering uninterruptedly. The catastrophe in the endless hell."

"In my opinion, Liu Jianming is the character who best embodies the words 'Infernal Affairs'."

"He was born in the underworld. In order to provide information for the underworld, he went to become a policeman. During his time as a policeman, he had a good career and love, and lived a rich life that ordinary people envy. He has unconsciously recognized himself as a policeman, but The fact is that, as a member of the underworld, he has to provide information for the underworld. In Liu Jianming's subconscious mind, his identity as a normal person is a comfortable and happy life as a policeman, but in reality he has to face the relationship between the ghost and the police. The pressure of a dual role."

"If he wants to live happily, he must strike a balance between these two roles, so as to protect himself from harm and protect his existing life."

"But at the same time, he is a very pitiful person, because the person he likes to be, the life he likes to live, everything is based on the premise of serving the underworld and betraying the identity he likes."

"Every time he solves a case and arrests everyone, it seems to be just, but in fact he knows in his heart that he is not a good person, and the identity he has always wanted to keep is a good person. Contradictions and conflicts with each other eventually led to the complete collapse of their self-identity of good and evil."

"He wants to be a good person, but he has been a bad person for a long time, so does he still have a chance to become a good person? For Liu Jianming, this question undoubtedly makes him desperate."

"When he was undercover in the police station and doing all kinds of bad things, everyone thought he was a good person, but when he told others that he wanted to be a good person, no one gave him a chance."

"When I first came out to hang out, I followed Han Chen. It can be said that he was able to have this important police status. It was all given by Han Chen. After entering the police academy and becoming a policeman, he gradually began to climb up. It’s easier to be promoted than others because of Han Chen, but as he grows bigger and bigger, even after killing Han Chen, Liu Jianming can no longer bear the fact that he is still a bad person.”

"On the one hand, he needs to clean up for his own safety. On the other hand, from a deeper level, Liu Jianming also realizes that he is only a good person on the surface at best. He is obviously not reconciled, so he wants to Jump out of this endless hell, but the more he wants to get out, the deeper he sinks, the more he wants to get closer to the real good person, the farther away he is, because in the process of working hard in this direction, everything he does has nothing to do with it. Make him farther away from good people."

"Therefore, he is without a doubt the one who sinks the deepest in the endless hell and is the most unable to extricate himself."

Obviously, Wang Pengfei put a lot of thought into the role of Liu Jianming, otherwise, his understanding of this role would not be so deep.

"You understand well. It seems that you have really put in a lot of effort. Then Lin Xiao, as the screenwriter of "Infernal Affairs", is also the author of the two characters Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren. What do you think is the difference between Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming? ?”

Yang Hao suddenly changed the topic, looked at Lin Xiao and said with a smile.

Wang Pengfei also looked at Lin Xiao in surprise.

He was a little puzzled, why did Yang Hao suddenly ask Lin Xiao at this time.

"Actually, in my opinion, between Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming, there is no one who can better embody the three words 'Infernal Affairs'."

"There are two women beside Chen Yongren. He has always told the truth to them, but they can't be sure if he is telling the truth until he dies."

"If they believed it, MAY would not take her daughter and leave him and go with someone else, and Li Xiner would not say 'I am a policeman' when she said 'Me too.'"

"Compared to Liu Jianming, Liu Jianming has appeared as a bad guy from the beginning. He hopes to become a good guy because he has fallen in love with this kind of life and his identity."

"But whether it's the police, Chen Yongren, or the underworld, Liu Jianming is not allowed to become a real good person, or in other words, he will never be able to become the person he wants to be."

"Where is Chen Yongren? Contrary to Liu Jianming, both of them are lonely in his identity. Liu Jianming is lonely in the police station and in the police system, because he can't trust anyone, because he is an undercover agent."

"Even he can't trust the 'insiders' on the Yakuza side, so he's alone."

"Chen Yongren was different at the beginning. The Chen Yongren at the beginning, at least there was another Huang Zhicheng who knew his true identity, but when Huang Zhicheng passed away in front of him, Chen Yongren also became a lonely person."

"Even if he is a fool who has no malice towards Chen Yongren, before he dies, Chen Yongren is still on guard against him. In the underworld system, he is alone and he cannot trust anyone."
