Chapter 75 The first experience of being a villain in acting career
Wei Yang and Zhao Liying stayed at home for two days before joining the cast of "Interpol".
The preparation of this drama was unusually fast, and it started filming within a few months of receiving the script.
However, Wei Yang heard from Xiao Zhao that there was some inside story. It seemed that the film crew originally planned to make a criminal investigation drama, so they made a lot of preliminary preparations. Later, for unknown reasons, they abandoned the original script and changed it to "Interpol".
Since the theme and story background are consistent, a lot of preparatory work can be carried out almost seamlessly, which is why the production started so quickly.
Xiao Zhao had actually joined the crew before, but considering that if Wei Yang stayed at the crew hotel, it would be inconvenient for the two of them to interact publicly.
So I simply made up for the time and asked for leave to go home and wait for Wei Yang. She didn't have many roles on the set and her announcements were limited, so it was easy to ask for leave, and she was able to enjoy the world of two people smoothly.
Zhao Liying is a small supporting role, and not many people paid attention when she came out. However, the addition of screenwriter Wei Yang to the cast definitely attracted the attention of the crew of "Interpol".
Producer and director Li Lu came out to greet us in person, which was very respectable.
"Haha, you can write such a wonderful script at such a young age. It's very scary for future generations. I should give more advice when I look back."
"Director Li, you don't know that Xiao Wei is also a best-selling author. I read in the news that he is a "pioneer and rising star representative in the mystery novel world". Could this script be poorly written?
"You two are complimenting me. I still need to learn more from you."
"..."
When we met for the first time, it was inevitable that there would be an exchange of pleasantries and business talk, and we would also have a rough first impression of each other.
I don't know the producer Wei Yang, and I've never heard of him in my previous life, but his attitude is quite enthusiastic, and I heard from Xiao Zhao that he has a good reputation among the crew.
Director Li Lu and Wei Yang are no strangers. He is a famous director in the field of television in later generations. His representative works are "The People's Righteousness" and "The Human World".
Moreover, Li Lu is not only a director. In fact, many projects are produced, supervised and even led by him. He has held positions at Jinling Film Studio, Suzhou Satellite TV and Suzhou Propaganda Office, and there are many important positions.
A semi-official boss.
Because of this, he has the ability to produce many main theme works such as "In the Name of the People", and directed and produced "Human World" which became CCTV's new year's drama.
This time, "Interpol" is produced by a company in Shenzhen City, but the co-producers include Beijing TV Station and Jinling TV Station.
The latter is probably related to Li Lu. If this drama can successfully reach the stars, the broadcast platform will most likely be Beijing and Jiangsu Satellite TV.
Wei Yang was interested in establishing a friendship with Li Lu. He had many connections and resources in Suzhou, and he might be able to use them one day.
Li Lu is also willing to talk more with Wei Yang. He really likes the book "Interpol". He was one of the main promoters when the crew changed the script before.
The two chatted for a while, and then Li Lu took Wei Yang to meet several of the main creative actors of the crew.
The drama "Interpol" is a web drama with a style of later generations, combining realistic criminal investigation + reasoning and suspense.
The main plot is to capture a serial murderer who has been committing crimes for nearly ten years, and then arranges six side cases, which are relatively independent and have more or less connections with the main plot.
The core character of the entire drama is the male protagonist Li Zhengfeng, who is set to be the deputy captain of the criminal police. He is in his thirties and has a capable, shrewd and meticulous style.
Li Zhengfeng had just taken up his first case as a police officer when he encountered the villain committing his first crime. To a certain extent, the two sides had been fighting each other for ten years.
During this period, the murderer committed many crimes, but Li Zhengfeng and his colleagues never caught him, obviously at a disadvantage.
Therefore, it has always been a knot in his heart, and he vowed to catch the murderer, wash away the shame of the city's criminal police brigade, and give an explanation to all the victims and their families.
The male protagonist Li Zhengfeng is played by He Bing, one of the pillars of the entertainment industry.
It is said that the crew initially wanted to hire Hu Jun, but due to tight schedule, they recommended an old classmate.
He Bing has just turned 40 this year. He is suitable for playing a weather-beaten policeman in his thirties. His acting skills and reputation are both fine.
Moreover, his masterpiece "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty" also proved that he is very suitable for this kind of upright and intelligent role. The crew thought it was good, and after some contact, they directly reached an agreement.
He Bing is the core of the whole drama. In the police team, there is also an old policeman who is about to retire and a new male policeman who plays a lot of roles. He is the second male and the third male.
There is also the heroine, a female forensic doctor who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, played by actress Chen Su, who is the right-hand assistant of the male protagonist in the play.
In addition, there are a few characters such as Xiao Zhao, the leader of the police station, and a few supporting police officers who are permanent residents from beginning to end. Most of the other characters appear according to the unit plot line.
"Teacher He, I have read your "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty" more than ten times."
"Teacher Chen, Huang Yiyi in "The Conspiracy" impressed me deeply."
"..."
Wei Yang greeted several of the main creators one by one. When he passed by Xiao Zhao, the latter was wearing a female police uniform and a bun. She was refreshing and cute, and she winked at him playfully.
"Hello, Teacher Wei."
"Hello."
Wei Yang reached out and shook her hand, feeling Zhao Liying's little finger scratching the palm of his hand, and laughed inwardly.
This girl was still a shy and timid little guy at first, but now that we have been together for a long time, she has become more and more courageous, and even dares to flirt with him secretly in public.
But don't mention it, Wei Yang quite liked what she did, and it was a different kind of excitement.
After meeting with the major creators of "Interpol" and getting a sense of the screenwriter's presence, Wei Yang followed the makeup team.
This time he came not only to visit the team, but also to have a guest role.
One of the six major subplots in the play involves the murder of three roommates by a graduate, and Wei Yang plays the murderer Yang Lu.
This case actually has a prototype, but compared to the original case, Wei Yangmo changed it a lot.
Yang Lu in the play is a left-behind child. His parents are divorced and don't care about him at all. He lived with his grandmother when he was young. When his grandmother died when he was twelve or thirteen, he lived alone and suffered a lot.
Such a family environment made Yang Lu feel low self-esteem and withdrawn. He was not gregarious from childhood to adulthood, and his personality was somewhat extreme and vengeful.
The play used plots from his childhood to reveal Yang Lu's character. Once he had a quarrel with his peers and the two sides fought. Yang Lu suffered a loss, so he killed the other person's dog, skinned it and hung it at the other person's door to take revenge.
Such character traits also foreshadowed his later tragedy.
Yang Lu came from a poor family, but he studied well and was admitted to a key university in the province, where he also met three roommates.
Among the three roommates, one is a rich second-generation playboy, one is a loud-mouthed loudspeaker, and the third one is quite decent.
Yang Lu, who has a flawed character, is destined to be unpopular in collective life, and it is inevitable that he will have conflicts with several roommates. Except for the last one who is quite good to Yang Lu, the other two have fallen out with him.
This situation lasted until after graduating from college, Yang Lu, who held a grudge, took revenge and killed three roommates in different ways.
This kind of case with strong purpose is actually not difficult to solve, so Wei Yang devised a little trick.
He asked Yang Lu to "die" first!
After graduating from college, Yang Lu chose to escape. Taking advantage of loopholes in some units, he not only issued a death certificate, but even provided a cemetery for ashes.
So this greatly misled the police and the audience. They even thought that Yang Lu was the first roommate to be killed, but it was faked as suicide, focusing on other roommates and even other classmates who had enemies with them.
Until the male protagonist later noticed some clues and discovered the truth through verification and comparison. The plot turned around and Yang Lu was arrested and brought to justice.
Although he is an important branch villain, the main perspective of the plot is still the police investigating the case, and Wei Yang does not have many scenes.
It basically revolves around the memories and grievances of several roommates, how Yang Lu started killing people, and how he was finally arrested and interrogated.
The specific appearance time may only be more than 20 minutes in total, or even less, so it can only be said to be a guest appearance.
However, Wei Yang is still quite serious. Putting aside the "villain" Mo Zunzhenglou who is about to break into the protagonist group, this should be his first time playing a pure villain role in the true sense. There are few scenes, but the setting is exciting enough.
When I got this role, I made a lot of preparations. I wrote more than 20,000 words for the character sample alone. The character settings of the entire protagonist group did not have as many words as this sample.
I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but as soon as Wei Yang joined the team, he immediately arranged the highlight, which was the scene where Yang Lu was arrested and interrogated.
In the afternoon, Wei Yang, wearing a blue vest and unshaven, sat on a chair in the interrogation room. Opposite him were He Bing and the rookie male police officer.
The executive director shouted to turn on the camera. Wei Yang drooped his eyelids, leaned back on his chair, and casually recounted his psychological journey and methods of murder.
"That Zhao Qing is a playboy. He relies on his family's money to look down on this and that, and plays tricks on the girls in the school.
I don’t care what he did to others. He knew clearly that I liked the class beauty, but he also deliberately chased the class beauty and then deliberately abandoned it to mock me, so I trapped him in the room and burned him alive..."
"There is also Sun Guode, Zhao Qing's lackey. He acts like a dog himself and bullies others. He spreads rumors and slanders me for stealing, so that all my classmates isolate me.
Isn't he eloquent? I knocked out his teeth one by one and pulled out his tongue to see what he said..."
"And Wang Zhong..."
Speaking of this only roommate who was kind to him, Wei Yang's mood paused for a moment, but his eyes were still full of indifference and malice that emerged from time to time.
"There are two sides to the wall. He thinks he is pretending to be a good person, so I thank him. This kind of person deserves the worst death..."
Li Zhengfeng, played by He Bing, looked at him and revealed a piece of news: "Did you know that after Qian's death, Wang Zhong was the only one who went to the cemetery to see you, and even sent a letter to your parents in your honor?
A sum of money."
Wei Yang was silent for a moment, his body slightly stooped, he forced the corner of his mouth and his voice became hoarse.
