Su Ze nodded. At least in his heart, no one looked better with a gun than Fa Ge!
In the final analysis, what attracts me is the character itself. Li Wen, a down-and-out painter who seems to have accomplished nothing, has a submissive personality and makes a living by painting fake paintings for others all day long.
It is such a character. In addition to portraying Wu Fusheng's extraordinary abilities in the production and sale of counterfeit goods, he also has to try his best to redeem many of the fates he has committed. Therefore, he is elegant and unrestrained but also a ruthless killer?
Reversal and reversal!
Cowardice, fear, and shrinkage are real,
The domineering, vicious and arrogant hidden behind it are also real.
"In the 1990s, more than 40 trillion U.S. dollars circulated in the world every day, and about 0.05% of them were counterfeit."
Zhuang Wenqiang stared at Su Ze and said seriously: "Do you believe it?"
Su Ze nodded, and then picked up the script. As a movie describing criminal events, focusing on the characters, and with a biographical flavor, it was easy to think of "Cat and Mouse" based on the deeds of the famous fraud tycoon Abagnale.
"The Game", "Operation America" based on the drug lord Barry Hill, the fictional biopic "Lord of War", plus now the counterfeiting tycoon in "Warriors".
What they have in common is that they use vivid legendary techniques to describe the stories of highly intelligent criminal masters. The four characters in the above-mentioned movies can really play a mahjong table together.
Of course, there are countless crime movies about counterfeit banknotes, but most of them describe the goal rather than the process, just like the fight between you and me over a piece of counterfeit banknote in "The Five Lucky Stars".
It's also like the battle between the protagonists and the counterfeiting group in "A Better Tomorrow 2". But few movies can put the minutiae of counterfeiting on the screen. o_m
Recall that there was a joke circulating on the Internet where a man used 200,000 real banknotes to make 170,000 fake banknotes?
Not to mention other things, just printing counterfeit money can make many viewers willing to buy tickets and enter the cinema!
You don’t have to be a fan of Hong Kong movies, celebrities, or even crime movies. But you must be interested in how to produce ney!
Three-layer laminated watermark, acid-free paper used for banknotes, no moiré pattern removal, self-prepared color-changing ink...
It sounds exciting!
According to Zhuang Wenqiang: Except for the electronic plate at the core of the printing press, everything else is real.
"Is it okay to pass the trial?" Su Ze couldn't help but ask.
"Of course there is no problem." Zhuang Wenqiang smiled and said: "I have consulted a long time ago. What we are demonstrating is the manufacturing process of expired US dollars. It is shown in the subtitles at the end of the movie. The anti-counterfeiting technology of US dollars is much better now than at that time."
"What's more, even if you have a complete set of equipment in front of you, you can't do it because you don't have the skills of the core personnel."
"The country is not stupid."
Su Ze was relieved, this thing was no joke.
So to a certain extent, Wushuang is a bit like Lord of War, a fictional biographical perspective that leads the audience to explore areas that have never been exposed and are little-known.
Smuggling arms and making counterfeit banknotes both have a curious effect on the public, but the characters are different.
Zhuang Wenqiang has studied many counterfeit banknotes in the world in the past ten years and found that most of the people who make counterfeit banknotes are engaged in art work. At least the electrotype of banknotes is gravure printing, and the counterfeit banknotes are imitations. To put it bluntly, they are high imitations. If they are not
I really can't master the art of engraving and painting.
Li Wen is the master among masters.
For the role of Li Wen, the director used strong words to show that he can do nothing but "imitate". To highlight this point, the role of Ruan Wen played by Zhang Jingchu was also arranged.
To serve as a foil. Because she is a painter and has her own art exhibition.
The opening thirty minutes are devoted to the emotional scene between the two, which seems lengthy at first glance, but the main purpose is to highlight Li Wen's characteristic - a master of copying.
The only original paintings were imitations of four painters. Not only could they not be sold at art exhibitions, but they would also be dissed as if there was only one Van Gogh in the world.
The originality coefficient is 0 and the copying index is 100%. Does such a person exist in reality?
At least Su Ze doesn't think it exists. No matter how short-sighted the master is, he still has the ability to be a little bit original, right?
Even if you just make it up, it’s fine, let alone someone with artistic skills like... (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 447 True and False
Such a powerful person. But the movie just tells us that there really is such a weirdo in this world?
Su Ze likes Xiao Lizi's cat-and-mouse game very much. It is similar to Wushuang's perspective, both describing the criminal's experience and mentality.
This man's greatest talent is not copying, but forgery, because he can make the fake look like the real thing.
In the script, he tells a magical story and depicts a biopic of the master of counterfeiting for everyone, and the protagonist writes and directs it himself.
What excites Su Ze the most is his duality. On the one hand, he is an omnipotent and highly intelligent criminal master, but on the other hand, his talent is not recognized and he is forced to embark on the road of crime.
Which side is true and which side is false?
You won't realize it until you watch it at the end.
"It is always easier to live in lies than in reality. _o_m "Su Ze couldn't help but sigh.
"That's right!" Zhuang Wenqiang's eyes lit up. As expected of Su Ze, he hit the nail on the head.
"In our story, the more Li Wen admires, the less he can get it, so he has to strengthen it and make lies, because he is really hypocritical and cowardly, and can only rely on lies to hide his true self."
"He thought that the unsold painting must be real, because he is not a painter, but he really wants to be a real painter!"
Su Ze nodded, this is a very true and good story because it is seamless. The director believed it, the actors believed it, and in the end the audience also believed it.
Looking up again at Chong Man-keung, he is too meticulous and is afraid that the audience will not understand, so he tells the story carefully. As a screenwriter, he may not be the best in Hong Kong Island, but he must be the best crime screenwriter.
From "Infernal Affairs" to "Daisy" to the "Eavesdropping" series, it goes without saying that there are various crime incident movies. In addition, Su Ze also found that in his crime stories, the emphasis every time is people.
This time, the focus is once again on the identity of the character.
Infernal Affairs Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming were lost in Infernal Affairs, and their identities became the topic and tragic theme.
The two protagonists played by Tony Leung and Andy Lau are in an undercover story, which takes the identities of the two heroes to an extreme.
In Wushuang's script, Zhuang Wenqiang went even further. In a fake story, the two male protagonists once again fell into identity troubles: where is the truth and where is the lie?
In the end, the audience discovered that none of this mattered anymore. This was a story about you and me, because this story was presented real enough.
From this point of view, making counterfeit money is indeed very similar to making a movie, because both are fake and pursue, how to fake and make it very real...
