Fan Xiaopang spent two days filming on the set and had completed more than 80% of the scenes, and then returned to the mainland to participate in activities.

The remaining 20%, which is the highlight of the final death scene, has to be postponed until later, when Fan Xiaopang will come over.

The next scenes are mainly between Cao Xuan and Sun Honglei (Ding Qing) and Liang Jiahui (the villain's boss Inspector Gou). Before the Spring Festival, Sun Honglei was the main character.

Sun Honglei joined the group one day after Fan Xiaopang left. Seeing the bull terrier's face and squinting eyes, Cao Xuan had a voice loop in his mind.

"That day, a man came to buy melons..."

In early 2005, Sun Honglei's reputation was not low, but it was hard to say how high it was. It was with "Latent" a few years later that he really came to the forefront.

However, the two starring TV series "Conquest" and "The Military Song" still made him popular in the mainland TV drama market.

Needless to say about "Conquest", people who buy melon stalks twenty years later are active in major comment areas.

"The Military Song" can be understood as a parody version of "The Passionate Years". This drama was not very popular in later generations, but in fact it had very good ratings at the time and ranked among the top five TV dramas broadcast by CCTV in 2002.

Before this, Sun Honglei basically played supporting roles as a villain. After "The Military Song", he received many roles in which he played the role.

Sun Honglei was personally very surprised that he could participate in Cao Xuan's new movie "New World" and serve as the second male lead.

He has done well in the field of TV dramas, but he is not particularly out of the ordinary. It will be difficult for him to get involved in the film industry.

Although Sun Honglei is from Heilongjiang Province, he is actually involved in Beijing circles and has a good relationship with Zhao Baogang. He also used Zhao's connections to participate in Feng Pants and Lao Mouzi's movies.

Speaking of which, we have to talk about the biggest "black spot" in the Sun family - eating soft rice and kicking the eldest sister.

It is difficult to call Sun Honglei a man of both virtue and art. There are many criticisms in the public opinion, and some things are also somewhat controversial, such as the "Warring States" incident.

The relationship is not infatuated, and there are even some scandals, but the so-called soft rice is indeed unfounded.

This was first reported by Jin Xing. This eldest sister didn’t know where she heard the version. Without careful verification, she started to complain on behalf of female compatriots.

The so-called eldest sister knelt down and begged Zhao Baogang for a chance for Sun. Later, Sun Hong ungratefully kicked the eldest sister.

But in fact, when the two first met, Sun had already finished filming Zhao Baogang's "Never Rest", and through Zhao participated in Lao Mouzi's film. He also won the Plum Blossom Award for drama, and he was considered a newcomer with a bright future.

The first time the two met was in a play, in which Sun Honglei was the male protagonist and the eldest sister was the female protagonist.

During the rehearsal, Sun Honglei fell into a trough due to emotional frustration and illness. He was taken care of by his eldest sister, and later they fell in love and became a couple.

Although the eldest sister is a veteran actor and has won some honors, she is not popular. Sun is General Zhao Baogang and has signed a contract with the other company. It is really untenable to say that she is a soft rice.

As for the later story about kicking the eldest sister, there are some doubts. Different parties have different opinions. What is certain is that Sun Honglei has to bear relatively more responsibility.

After all, the scandal between him and Gong Li was flying around at that time...

But overall it was a peaceful breakup, and the eldest sister didn't say anything bad in the future, and even helped to clarify the situation.

In Cao Xuan's view, two people fell in love because of some passionate reasons, but later got tired of it and broke up. The man is most likely to be the first to fall in love with another person, and he should bear the main responsibility.

Even if strictly speaking, Sun Honglei is a scumbag at best, but we can't say that he is ungrateful and kicks his elder sister after eating soft food. These are completely two different things...

For Cao Xuan, who has two things to do, it is obvious that he does not have enough moral confidence to condemn Sun Honglei.

Cao Xuan doesn't care whether the other party is really a scumbag. He is a producer. What he values ​​​​is the actor's acting skills, not finding a partner. Whether the other party is a scumbag or not has nothing to do with him.

If perfection in morality is used as the standard for casting, 99.99% of actors in the entertainment industry would be unqualified.

Therefore, Cao Xuan's attitude has always been to focus on the big and let go of the small. If there are shortcomings in the small details, it will not be a loss in the big ones.

Of course, Cao Xuan must also admit that this set of scoring standards is extremely subjective, and sometimes there are even double standards.

But it doesn't matter, Cao Daguan is not a saint, so he must take care of his own comfort first.

Then again, although Sun Honglei is from the Beijing circle, there are too many actors in the Beijing circle, so he is not considered the core. The TV series resources are not bad, but the film resources are very laborious.

At least before "Insidious", he had very few opportunities to star in important commercial films.

Director Chen's "Mei Lanfang" counts as one, as does Kazakhstan's "The Mongol King". He played Temujin's mortal enemy Zamuhe and was considered the second male lead.

In addition, what is more impressive is the villain of Xu Laoguai's "Seven Swords", Feng Huo Liancheng.

At present, "Seven Swords" has not been released yet, and the remaining two movies have not even been released. Sun Honglei is unknown in the film industry. How could Cao Xuan not be surprised and overjoyed when Cao Xuan asked him to play such an important role.

Not to mention that the role of Ding Qing is so brilliant. To exaggerate, he is even more popular than the male protagonist Li Zicheng.

When a role like this is offered to the public, first-line movie actors won't say anything about breaking their heads to grab it, but there will definitely be a lot of people interested in it.

So Sun Honglei was very curious and anxious to know why Cao Xuan was looking for him. He couldn't sleep until he found out.

Sun Honglei is very courageous and is known for his "straightforward" personality. Others are cautious in front of Cao Xuan, but although they had just met him, he quickly faced it calmly.

Not long after we met and before the filming was officially started, he took the initiative to ask Cao Xuan: "Mr. Cao, I heard the producer said that you decided to cast me for the role of Ding Qing. I am very curious as to why you chose me."

Before this, Sun Honglei and Cao Xuan had almost no contact. The only connection was that Fanxing won the production rights through "Conquest".

But these were all done before and after director Gao Qunshu ran away, and he, as an actor, had never met Cao Xuan.

Cao Xuan looked at this face with a crew cut, although it was obvious that Sun Honglei was slowing down his expression and tone, trying to convey a kind mood.

But Cao Xuan, who has watched too much "Conquest", can always see a bit of ferocity and cruelty on his face.

In fact, when I first decided on the makeup, I wanted to give Sun Honglei short and long hair, but later I felt that a flat head was more distinctive.

Cao Xuan did not answer Sun Honglei's words immediately, but asked Sun Honglei a question,

"Who is Ding Qing?"

"The third boss of the Kinmen Group, the former boss of the Zhongyixing Society, and the leader of the gang."

Sun Honglei, who knew the plot information by heart, blurted it out. Cao Xuan nodded with satisfaction, then asked the person next to him for a mirror, and stared at Sun Honglei's face.

"Look at your face in the mirror?"

Sun Honglei looked around and knew that he was about to film a movie. Naturally, he was dressed up as a character in the movie.

Although he was wearing a gray suit and sunglasses, he wore no tie and his chest was open, revealing a gold chain as thick as a chopstick and a faint tattoo.

The short crew cut shows a bit of roughness, the cheeks are slightly fleshy, the eyes are small, but they flash with fierceness and cruelty, and the frown on the brow is intimidating.

"Do you understand?"

Cao Xuan asked thoughtfully, and Sun Honglei nodded in confusion and depression: "I understand."

"Don't be discouraged."

Cao Xuan patted him on the shoulder: "Master Patriarch, you have a face like this. You don't even need to put on makeup to play a villain."

Wu Zhenyu, who was preparing for the scene next to him, heard this and nodded accordingly, speaking in slightly awkward Mandarin.

"Sun Sheng's temperament and appearance are rare. If you had been born in Xiangjiang ten years earlier, you would definitely be one of the four evil men. But it's not too late now. Cao Sheng is right, God will reward you."

After listening to what they said, Sun Honglei didn't know whether to be happy or cry, but at least as far as the movie "New World" is concerned, he has to thank himself for this face.

One thing to say is that the actor who played Ding Qing in the original version, Huang Zhengmin, has nothing to say about his acting skills, but his appearance always seems to be a bit honest and bitter.

His face made him inexplicably trustworthy. When Cao Xuan watched the original scene where Ding Qing and Li Zicheng were undercover, he felt the tension of the plot, but because of that face, he felt that Ding Qing would not

Harm brothers.

Sun Honglei can play Ding Qing's honest and loyal character. His face looks fierce when he looks down, but when he smiles he is actually quite silly.

If you have a sullen face or a fake smile throughout, you will really look like a villain, and it will also enhance the suspense of the plot to a greater extent.

Let's imagine Liu Huaqiang pointing a gun at Feng Biao. Even though he knew he wasn't going to shoot, he still felt scared and nervous.

This is not an exaggeration. Sun Honglei really has the ability to make people confused between Zhengxie and Zhengxie. That face is really confusing.

The later version of "Anti-Gangster" is almost halfway through its broadcast, and both the pros and cons have figured out their cards. Some people still suspect that Sun Honglei is the big boss behind the scenes, which shows how deeply the villain's face is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

………

The scene we filmed today was about the death of the boss of the Kinmen Group, and several major gangster characters were present.

Here I want to talk about the story background of the Starry version of "New World". It roughly maintains the original version, but has certain localization and plot changes.

In the early 1990s, there were many social groups in Xiangjiang, and Shi Hu, a (fictional) leader of the Sihai Gang, emerged out of nowhere.

Shi Hu joined forces vertically and horizontally, and used his outstanding skills to merge and gather a large number of small and medium-sized societies, and together with the Sihai Gang, they formed a gray alliance company - the Kinmen Group.

Under the leadership of Shi Hu, Kinmen Group developed rapidly and diversified its operations. In just a few years, it not only became the number one society in Hong Kong, but also had the potential to clean up and go ashore.

At this special moment in 1997, Shi Hu was also actively seeking some political identity and wanted to completely expose the Kinmen Group to the light.

However, his behavior caused Shi Hu to receive some criticism, and he was even involved in a car accident.

The boss Shi Hu was seriously injured and his life or death was uncertain. Several heads and directors of the Kinmen Group also arrived one after another.

Compared with ordinary young and Dangerous guys, Kinmen Group is a gray company that is ready to come ashore with a clean slate. Whether it is the backbone or the younger brother, they all wear clean suits and leather shoes.

Outside the operating room of the hospital, the third-in-command Ding Qing, played by Sun Honglei, and the fourth-in-command Wu Zhongjiu, played by Wu Zhenyu, were sitting on both sides of the first row of chairs, with several empty seats in between. Behind the second row were a group of middle-level group veterans, two of them.

On the side are their respective subordinates.

The male protagonist Li Zicheng, played by Cao Xuan, stood far behind. Facing the boss's serious injury, his face could not hide his heaviness, but his eyes were more relaxed and calculating.

After all, as an undercover agent, facing the tragic fate of a club boss, it would be a shame for him not to laugh out loud.

There are nearly a hundred handsome men in suits outside the operating room, and the darkness brings some depression and intimidation to the camera. It also intuitively shows the status of Ding and Wu and the vague tit-for-tat situation between the two sides.

The life or death of the boss is uncertain, and his subordinates are silent. There is not a single line in the whole scene.

But the faces of several leading actors, including those in supporting roles, give a steady stream of information to the audience off-camera.
