Thinking of this, Tan Zhuo could only shake his head, this guy has gone far beyond the standard!
There are many reasons why I took on this drama. First of all, Bona, the giant must give face, not to mention the money is also in place.
And then it’s because of Su Ze. Even though we have a good relationship, the opportunity to work together is just luck. Now Su Ze is famous for his good vision in selecting scripts.
He has debuted in more than a dozen works, the TV series are all blockbuster hits, the movies are both well-received and box office hits, and there is not a single bad movie!
Even if it’s Ning Que’s mother-in-law herself, this kind of record is too exaggerated, right?
I am full of expectations for this collaboration. After being over 40 years old and having been an actor for so many years, Tan Zhuo has already reached the stage where he knows his destiny. He used to see many of his peers whose acting skills were not as good as his becoming popular, but now he can laugh it off.
Of course, I have also experienced envy, jealousy, and hatred, I have also complained about others, and I have also cherished talents that I have never encountered...
But how?
Shouldn’t life go on as usual?
Fortunately, God rewards hard work, and persistence over the years has paid off. Although it has never become a big hit, its strength is recognized by many people, and there is no shortage of resources.
If you count the box office alone, if you grit your teeth and show no shame, you can still be considered an actress worth tens of billions. But it is a pity that she has never won a major award.
The closest I got was Manslaughter, nominated for Best Actress in Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers. Unfortunately...
Compared to Su Ze, who kept silent about the truth back then, he is obviously much calmer and more mature, and it is impossible to tell that he is a 28-year-old young man.
The leading actors arrived and began to read the script. According to director Chen Guohua, one of the highlights and advantages of Heroes of Fire is the selection of a unique battlefield: the petrochemical industrial zone.
Compared with other building fires, forest fires and other fires, this is the first time that the theme of oil and gas industry areas has been seen in similar works.
This investment was huge, with tens of millions of dollars spent on setting up the scenery to restore the real scene one-to-one. With the addition of post-production special effects, the visual effects will definitely explode.
I have to say that this is the first time Su Ze has participated in such a huge investment in action special effects blockbusters!
"How's it going?" Du Jiang, the second male lead next to him, asked, "What do you think?"
"How about we switch roles?" Su Ze joked: "Your role is better than Jiang Liwei's."
Du Jiang was stunned for a moment, then understood and said with a smile: "I don't care, who doesn't like the male protagonist, but..."
"Strength doesn't allow it!"
Su Ze also laughed, asking himself that he liked Ma Weiguo more than Jiang Liwei, who had a heroic aura.
The protagonists expected by viewers of this genre are generally upright, strong, fearless, upright, and ideally sacrifice themselves gloriously to complete the fateful reincarnation of a hero.
Not that there's anything wrong with this image, but you always think: OK, he's a hero, and then what?
This is the easiest trap for so-called hero movies to fall into: facial makeup.
Jiang Liwei is a perfect example, but the Ma Weiguo played by Du Jiang is different. He is more of a mortal than a hero.
For example, there was a hotel fire at the beginning, and captain Jiang Liwei performed a heroic act and single-handedly rescued a little girl?
And another captain, Ma Weiguo, entered the fire scene as a follow-up force and was responsible for checking the remaining hidden fire?
As an ordinary person, would you feel unwilling to face your teammates making contributions while you can only check for omissions and fill in the gaps?
Will.
At least Ma Weiguo knew how to do it, so he complained to Jiang Liwei while patrolling: You have done all the publicity.
This is true human nature. Heroes also have emotions and desires, as well as their own little thoughts.
In just a few minutes, a plump figure stood up.
In the second half of the script, when the firefighters are busy rushing forward in the sea of fire, while Ma Weiguo and his special service squadron can only guard the peripheral chemical tank area, they will also be unconvinced: Why should our sharp knife troops retreat outside?
At this time, Ma Weiguo was like a wronged and angry boy.
As the leader of the fire squadron, he was not as warm and gentle to his soldiers as Jiang Liwei. When the firefighters were frightened and stunned when facing the fire, Ma Weiguo didn't give him any face and directly started to fight.
Many viewers have gone through military training, and the instructors were all cold-faced tyrants who would scold and punish them with push-ups at every turn. This strong sense of empathy created a real, rough veteran.
The script shows three firefighter families, and Ma Weiguo’s is the most special: he has a retired firefighter father.
As a former hero, his father was dissatisfied with his son's lack of achievements, and he was always upset because he could not get his father's recognition.
When father and son meet, they inevitably quarrel. At this time, he is a rebellious son. A big boy, a veteran, a son...
This character is just like every ordinary person, with a temper and imperfection. He is as down-to-earth as Mo Sanmei, who has a major life event. Although he works as a hero, he is still a flesh-and-blood person!
In Su Ze's view, the actor played out this imperfection without shying away from Ma Weiguo's shortcomings. Such an ordinary person with shortcomings is particularly touching when he becomes a hero.
pity……
If I were myself three years ago, I might still have a chance to act, but now...
No one will agree!
Investors, producers, supervisors, directors, teams, and even co-stars!
The male lead must be able to take the lead at the box office!
There are gains and losses. In many cases, the male protagonist is not necessarily the most beautiful character, nor is he the most popular character among the audience. However, as an investor and producer, you must consider more and more.
This is the helplessness of business and art!
The audience doesn't understand why the best actor and actress would act in such a bad movie?
The reason is simple: either the money is too much, or it is a debt of gratitude.
No one is stupid, and everyone knows whether a script is good or not. It’s not that there are no hidden gems in the ocean, but the chances are very small.
It is possible for a 60-point script to reach 75 or even 80 with hard work. But a 20-30 script wants to counterattack with one or two powerful players?
think too much!
Therefore, Su Ze has a lot of ideas and space for the role of Ma Weiguo. If he creates it himself, many details are worth considering.
For example, when facing a desperate situation, use your mobile phone to record the last words of each firefighter to his family, and then throw the mobile phone outside the wall.
I will act in the most simple way, without fancy words or heroic slogans. Facing the desperate firefighters, I will hug tightly and keep comforting: "Brother, it's okay."
When facing death, there is only one sentence: "In firefighting, sooner or later there will be sacrifices!"
Because this is a real captain: he may be very strict with you at ordinary times, but at the last moment he will give you confidence and fight side by side with you.
Face life and death together!
This is the difference between rushing against me and rushing against me!
There may be fear deep in his eyes. Any real person would be afraid when facing such fire, and so would Ma Weiguo.
But what makes you a hero is not whether you are afraid, but whether you can move forward when you are afraid. This chapter has been completed!
