It’s because I admire my brother and want to be recognized by him.
The reason why he was fearless before going to the battlefield was because he was completely ignorant of the battlefield. It was not until he saw the people killed in the bombing for the first time after following the team that he was so frightened that he ran away without even daring to breathe.
I could only feel aggrieved and tell my brother: I saw the people killed in the bombing.
War must involve blood, Wu Wanli understood it the moment he saw it.
In Su Ze's design, the first shot is the highlight. Because he chased his brother into the battlefield without any training, when he first saw his brother being suppressed by the foreign devils, he wanted to shoot, but he was full of hesitation.
Both his eyes and body parts showed that he was afraid that he might accidentally injure his brother if he hit him.
Wu Qianli saw his hesitation, so he kicked a knife, but he still didn't dare. He had never killed anyone. Although he was a wild boy, he had never had blood on his hands.
At this time, I was so nervous while holding the knife that my whole body was shaking, my mouth was wide open and I was breathing heavily, and my mind went blank, as if I was being held in place.
Su Ze intends to convey to the audience the struggle of human beings facing the test of life and death through expressions and body parts.
Before he could finish his psychological struggle, he was immediately subdued by another beautiful ghost on the ground and choked him hard. His brother couldn't escape and had to kick another pistol. Therefore, Wu Wanli's first shot was under forced circumstances.
Opened for self-protection.
Su Ze closed his eyes. After the shooting, his eyes were shocked and dazed. His micro-expressions must be very rich, including shock, fear, fear, relaxation, and even a kind of stimulation and excitement...
Then he took the pistol and fired the second and third shots at the enemies outside. Then he unconsciously looked at his right hand. Firstly, the recoil must have made his hand numb. Secondly, he discovered that the power of shooting is so powerful!
In the face of war, any lines are pale and powerless. Only in the true face of life and death, the more instinctive and primitive the reaction can be, the more likely it is to give the audience a sense of empathy.
In other words, absolutely can’t act!
Seeing Su Ze's constantly changing eyes and those familiar micro-expressions, Wu Jing was amazed and shocked. This is a face that can convey complex emotions even with the highest-definition close-up!
As a director, the most important casting criterion is whether the actor can withstand close-ups.
Without relying on lines, you have to transform from the face of a naughty boy to the face of a warrior step by step. During this period, it is not only a visit to the country and nostalgia, but also the constant artillery fire, but also the separation of life and death...
Such a small child, such a big psychological impact, such a complicated war environment, this change progresses step by step...
How do you make the audience believe you have a story without saying anything?
Wu Wanli was very scared in this environment and didn't know what to do to survive. He also wanted to be a hero and not be looked down upon by his brother and comrades. This was the most innocent, straightforward and stubborn young man's mind.
But in the difficult and dangerous war environment, he looked particularly pure and dazzling. This was the face and story of a young man, completely different from other veterans.
This is why the screenwriter Lan Xiaolong entered the story from Wu Wanli's perspective, because he knew that the audience knew nothing about war and was not an omnipotent superhero. The more the transformation happened like this, the more shocking it was.
To be fair, the biggest highlight of this drama is Wu Wanli, whether it is the brother Wu Qianli played by himself, the Lei Gong portrayed by Hu Jun, or Zhu Yawen, Li Chen Ouhao...
They are all tough guys, they are all warriors who defend their homeland and country, and they are all already formed images in the minds of the audience.
But Wu Wanli is different!
The difficulty lies in how you walk, sit, look at people, and talk with disdain when you first appear. How do you express the ignorance, stubbornness, and wildness of a country boy to the fullest?
The sharp-billed cheek monkey walks with a hunched back, its hair is like a bird's nest, and its clothes are tattered and patched. At first glance, it looks like the kind of fishermen's children who have been affected by the war for a long time and don't have enough food or clothing to keep them warm.
The more famous an actor is, the heavier the burden on his heart is. The audience's inherent image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the audience, just like they are dancing with shackles layer upon layer.
What does good acting mean in Wu Jing’s eyes:
What? This is so-and-so!
No way? I didn’t recognize it?
real or fake?
This is called awesome!
Because I come from a wild background and have worked hard for so many years to get to where I am today, I have my own understanding of actors.
Some of them are from academic backgrounds, such as the three major art schools, especially the Chinese opera culture, which is more experiential. When filming and injecting emotions, they will substitute their own personality factors, such as Duan Yihong.
If this type of actor does not have multiple personalities, the audience who has been familiar with them for a long time will think that someone is the same in everything they play. For example, Cheng Daoming and Jiang Wen have this problem.
On the other hand, if a certain character is a big success, driven by the market, management, producers, and artist teams will work together to promote artists to play similar roles, such as Wu Jing himself.
It took a long time after Zhang Ziyi played Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to play various kinds of jade dragons. After Zhao Wei returned to the princess, she also played various kinds of little swallows.
The chances of meeting even the leading actor for the role that suits you best are few and far between, and you only meet them only a few times in your life.
There are eighteen ways to deal with acting, which is not necessarily better than relying on intuition and talent. Meeting the right role at the right time will actually make you more amazing.
For example, Bao Qiang's Xu Sanduo, Leslie Cheung's Cheng Dieyi, Zhang Ziyi's Yu Jiaolong, Tang Wei's Wang Jiazhi, Bing Bing's Liu Pingguo, Zhou Dongyu's Li Ansheng, Qian Xi's Xiao Bei...
This kind of role is rare in everyone's acting career!
But there are people who are different. Every role seems to be tailor-made, and they act just like what they play. Compared with thousands of people, thousands of faces are the highest state of an actor.
For example, Liang Jiahui, and Su Ze in front of me.
"Your expression and body are the strongest I have ever seen!" Wu Jing exclaimed, "No one else!"
Seeing that Su Ze wanted to be modest, he waved his hand and said: "This is true. I think you can try action dramas in the future. Literary dramas no longer pose any challenge to you, right?"
"If you are interested, we can try it together!"
Su Ze smiled and nodded in agreement. He was very interested in action scenes. Since Wu Jing was willing to lead the way, he would definitely like it.
The more they discuss, the more they understand each other. Judging from his age, Wu Jing is more than enough to be an uncle, let alone his brother.
After being baptized by Wolf Warriors, I heard that in order to experience life, I ate, lived, and trained with the special forces for a whole year, and my body was made of steel.
On the contrary, facing Wu Wanli, his younger brother, he must show the warmth between brothers under strict rules. It is not a problem for Wu Jing now. He is a late bloomer and his reputation is not in vain.
We spent the first night in the tent, everyone lit a bonfire, hundreds of people were busy, and they looked up at the starry sky, which was a rare experience for Su Ze.
