To use Liao Fan's words: Jiang Yang is played by you, if it were someone else...
it is more than words.
Su Ze concluded that the two scenes of losing the wallet and the final suicide were quite challenging. They lacked emotion and were difficult to impress. The audience's sense of empathy for Jiang Yang's tragedy would be weakened.
If the performance is too hard and full, it will be too much, or even fake. If it is deliberately sensational, it will be too much. This degree is really difficult to grasp.
Of course it's just a little difficult.
I have to say that after the baptism of chasing the murderer in the white night, I feel that my control of details has improved to a higher level, and I feel like I have experienced a breakthrough through epiphany.
System training is just a daily accumulation, just like playing a game and leveling up yourself to increase experience points.
You must truly stand in front of the camera, go deep into the character's heart, and face powerful opponents in order to reach the critical point of upgrade breakthrough and find opportunities to increase your level.
Both are indispensable.
The crew is progressing very quickly. It has been basically completed in 20 days, and it can be completed in two or three days at most. Su Ze has the most scenes, and Liao Fan, Tan Zhuoning and Li have already left.
Summing up the work during this period, Su Ze is very satisfied. Every time he cooperates with an excellent team, he has different gains. Psychological Crime White Night Chase is in alliance with Wubai's Arc Light. Because of the bald head's personal style, the whole team atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable.
That's right, don't think it's a suspense mystery.
Xin Yukun's team has another style, rigorous and neat, also because of the director's personality, there is not much nonsense, everything is based on the work.
This time I worked with Chen Yifu. Although he was a newcomer, he was professional and at least recognized by the actors.
Of course, in the end, it still relies on editing, especially the third-line narrative structure. If the cause and effect fails, the entire army will be wiped out, and all the people's efforts will be in vain.
These are no longer things that Su Ze can worry about. The crew has finished filming. Except for necessary publicity, the actors have basically retired. As for those malicious operations?
It's all rubbish!
As the last part of Zijin Chen's trilogy, the style of "Undocumented Crime" is a bit similar to "White Night", with the silent truth contrasting with the hidden corners.
From the perspective of adaptation, Su Ze believes that the similarities dilute the dark atmosphere of the original work and add a lot of bright colors. The difference is that The Secret Corner follows a dark fairy tale style, and the entire drama can be understood as a huge narrator's trick.
The Silent Truth follows a social documentary style, covering as much of the broader social reality as possible, and showing the complexity of human nature through different characters.
A large number of metaphorical shots are used from the hidden corners of the creative level to enrich the ambiguity of the text with the ambiguity of the image, giving the small screen a strong sense of cinema.
The Silent Truth makes good use of matching editing and parallel montage to change different timelines. The most classic example is the impossible gaze between Yan Liang and Jiang Yang.
Everyone was chatting yesterday, and the screenwriter boasted that even Zijin Chen himself liked this script adaptation, especially the role of Yan Liang?
Su Ze recognized this, because in The Long Night, Jiang Yang is the protagonist, and Yan Liang is just a tool to fulfill his wish.
This time the adaptation gave Yan Liang an additional role, placing him in an equally important position as Jiang Yang, with an independent story line. This character immediately became flesh and blood, full and distinct, and was no longer just a tool man, but had his own background and
Specific motivation.
The reason for this is because of the basic theory of drama: a character who is not contradictory is not lovable.
As the investigation deepened, coupled with his own experience, to a certain extent, Yan Liang projected part of his life onto Jiang Yang.
The whole person seems to be much warmer. Su Ze likes this kind of adaptation very much, because the character's personality grows at a speed visible to the naked eye, making it more real and contagious.
Why like?
After all, the two of them had no rivalry at all, and they discussed and communicated with Liao Fan privately. This was one of the important gains that the work opened Su Ze's mind.
Starting from Psychological Crime, I have been considering many questions, such as what is the value and significance of the opponent?
Fang Mu Tai Wei, Guan Hongfeng Zhou Xun, and even the mother of the deceased played by Hu Yajun and Liu Lin...
Some are brothers, some fall in love and kill each other, and some simply fight to the death...
No matter what the relationship is, all of the above have a lot of antagonistic scenes. The characters face each other and work together to fight together, but the silent truth is different.
The two protagonists Jiang Yang and Yan Liang have never met each other, so why set up such an antagonistic relationship?
What is the significance of forcibly linking two people together?
Later, it gradually became clear that it was precisely because Yan Liang could not see the alive Jiang Yang that the screenwriter arranged for a good comrade named Liu Mingyang with a personality very similar to Jiang Yang.
In the process of getting along, Yan Liang had the opportunity to constantly think about this case and reflect on Jiang Yang. On the surface, it affected Yan Liang's attitude towards Jiang Yang, and on a deeper level, it also enriched Jiang Yang's character image.
advanced!
Both White Night and The Invisible Guest are original scripts, and to be fair, the Silent Truth adaptation is far better than Psychological Crime!
To put it bluntly: if Psychological Crime could be adapted to this level back then, it would definitely be more than just a hit.
These are all hindsight, and Su Ze has no regrets. No matter how successful the work is, there are always regrets when looking back. Even if I had to replay the movie in the dark night, I would still be dissatisfied and dissatisfied with it.
Liao Fan is a respectable senior who is willing to absorb other people's opinions for the role. For example, the pinball that is always in his hand is a small action suggested by Su Ze.
Because it is my son's legacy.
Although there is not much ink, it can be seen that Yan Liang's love and longing for his son. Therefore, Jiang Yang, who is also a father, chose to divorce in order to protect his wife and children. Faced with his son, he asked him: Where will people go after they die?
Tears streaming down my face!
For Yan Liang, he lost his son, so he understands Jiang Yang's cherishment of his son. For Jiang Xiaoshu, he lost his father, so the ending was designed to give Yan Liang the pinball in his hand to Jiang Xiaoshu.
It symbolizes the transfer of the identity of "father/guardian" from Jiang Yang to Yan Liang. A simple action fulfills what Yan Liang said and fills the missing piece in his heart.
It also shows Yan Liang's recognition and admiration for Jiang Yang, and also means the inheritance of father-son love and belief in justice.
The son who lost his father and the father who lost his son finally complement each other in a journey of pursuing justice.
Thinking of this, Su Ze couldn't stop sighing. It's easy to get the anger of an ordinary man, but it's hard to find the heart of a child. But how many people in this world can be like them?
Even if Jiang Yang pays the price of his life, what will change in the end?
The night is still long, and the dawn is far away.
I still remember filming the last scene the day before yesterday. The director waited for the rain to pass before the sky cleared. The tone remained cold and dark. Everyone stood in front of Jiang Yang's grave to pay their respects. The endless rain seemed to have stopped.
Jiang Xiaoshu raised his head and looked around, as if he was looking for the cloud that belonged to his father. The camera zoomed out, and the sky was covered with clouds, but it seemed that it was about to clear up.
