La Yun in the original version of Manslaughter, although he looked ferocious and had a fierce expression when interrogating Li Weijie's family, he doted on his son in every possible way.
The film gives a separate scene in which La Yun dreams about his son. In the dream, the son looks cute and sensible with bangs, but in reality, his son Sucha is a domineering and dandy boy with a slicked back hair.
In fact, this can also be seen from the side. Compared with Ayu's love for his children, La Yun's care for his son only stays on the surface, and he knows nothing about his son's changes in reality. This is also the film's focus on contemporary family relationships.
A kind of thinking and thinking.
But the actor's interpretation is also the key to making this conflict more vivid.
Moreover, when portraying the character of La Yun, the film actually specially arranged a scene in which La Yun investigates the case compared to the original version, which not only enriched the character of La Yun as a shrewd and capable character, but also created a wonderful scene for the following confrontation with Li Weijie.
The foreshadowing.
Gao Bin also retained this setting when adapting the script. He wanted to make several main characters flesh-and-blood and fuller.
The role of fathers on both sides of the confrontation is also the same. Li Weijie is a middle-aged uncle with a tepid business, but he takes care of his family in every possible way. Even if there is a phone call at home that cannot be reached, he will rush home anxiously.
But he is also a father, and the father of a second-generation official is just busy campaigning for the mayor all day long, and he is indifferent even if his son disappears for more than a day.
The second-generation official who grew up in such an environment was in a family where his parents neglected to care and understood. What he received from his parents was never real care.
Parents are pursuing their own careers and neglecting their children, which has resulted in the second generation being emotionally indifferent to others since they were young, even though their family is well off.
It is precisely this that causes Sucha to constantly seek excitement and satisfy his desires, thus laying the foundation for his death.
Compared with the confrontation between police and citizens in the original version, Gao Bin extended the conflicting points of the story to family relationships that are more understandable and closer to domestic audiences, not only giving the characters fullness, but also creating great antagonism and dramatic tension.<
/p>
The details of the script were also deeply rooted in people's hearts. When Gao Bin came to Hao Lei with the script, she cried several times after reading the script.
The eldest daughter Ping Ping is in adolescence and has a deep conflict with her father Li Weijie. This conflict is constantly resolved as Li Weijie protects his family at all costs and then chooses to surrender for the sake of the family and his own conscience.
In the end, Pingping finally understood his father's good intentions.
Although the youngest daughter An An was naughty and willful, she did not show any cowardice when facing the director's severe interrogation. Instead, when her parents were violently forced to confess, she only revealed the burial location for the safety of her parents.
In fact, the whole story is not complicated. A strong woman from the second generation of an official fucked her eldest daughter Pingping and took a video of her as a blackmail. Later, she used the video as an excuse to force Pingping to commit herself to her again.
Pingping told his mother about the incident. When his mother and Erdai were fighting for the mobile phone, Pingping accidentally knocked Erdai unconscious. However, Pingping and his mother mistakenly thought that after beating Erdai to death, he buried his body in the ancestral grave in the backyard. p>
This is the whole story.
The twist is that Sucha is not dead at this time. Here, Gao Bin left a relatively obscure hint in the script.
First, in order to commit perjury, Li Weijie took his family to watch a black boxing match. On the field, a boxer was knocked down, and the medical staff came forward and opened his mouth.
An audience member did not understand the doctor's behavior. Li Weijie explained that this is called tongue swallowing, which looks like losing breath, but in fact it is just the tongue blocking the respiratory tract. If the throat is not opened, it will cause
Suspended animation.
This is where it is hinted that when Sucha was knocked down by Ping Ping, he only swallowed his tongue and did not die.
Later, when the director opened the coffin violently, although his son's body was not found, there was a pool of blood on the coffin lid, and there were dense scratches.
This just shows that the second generation was not beaten to death, but died from lack of oxygen during the burial process. The scratches on the coffin just prove that the second generation had an extremely fierce struggle before death.
And does anyone know all this?
Yes, this person is Li Weijie.
In fact, Li Weijie discovered that Sucha was not dead when he buried her body in the coffin, but he watched Sucha struggling in the coffin but did not rescue him.
Why? It’s a matter of opinion!
When Li Weijie's family was eating, when his youngest daughter An An scratched the table with her fork, only Li Weijie stopped An An. This reminded Li Weijie of the second generation's death from suffocation.
In order to prevent the second generation from insulting her and her mother, her daughter Pingping accidentally beat the second generation to death. This is called self-defense in law, even though the second generation did not die at the time, but was buried and died afterwards.
However, in the whole incident, Pingping and his mother subjectively believed that the second generation was dead, so they buried the body of the second generation. They should have been convicted of negligent death, but they were blocked by the defense in the process of self-defense. Therefore,
The entire incident was classified as self-defense.
According to the laws of most countries in the world, self-defense is actually equivalent to innocence.
But the problem is that there is no fairness in this world. In some places, if the resistance is not fierce, it is not considered a strong woman, and legitimate defense is equivalent to fighting each other. If it were any other person, for the sake of his family, he would probably do the same thing as Li Weijie
reaction.
Professional actors can tell the quality of a script at a glance.
After Xiao Yang read the script, he contacted Gao Bin as soon as possible and strongly requested to play the leading role in exchange for a small salary.
Gao Bin was not stingy and said everything should be done according to the rules.
Xiao Yang really liked this script and started chatting with Gao Bin on the phone.
Mainly because he didn't understand the ending.
In fact, the ending of Ah San's original version is a perfect murder ending.
The male protagonist did not surrender. Although he told the truth to the parents of the deceased, it was of no use. The other party did not have any evidence and could not prosecute him again.
As for the corpse, Ah San’s version is even better. At the end, the newly appointed police chief said to the male protagonist, I will keep an eye on you, and sooner or later you will reveal your secret.
The final scene flashed and it turned out that the male protagonist had buried the body under the foundation of the newly built police station.
When the new police chief threatened the male protagonist, he never imagined that the evidence he wanted was lying under his seat.
This ending is absolutely perfect. Someone was obviously killed, but there was no evidence, no dead, and everyone involved escaped innocently.
Unless it becomes a ghost movie, there is no way to reverse the verdict.
From the perspective of the audience's sense of immersion, Ah San's original version seems to be more enjoyable, and this is the proper revenge ending.
But such an ending obviously couldn't be released in China, so Gao Bin had to make a compromise.
The deceased in Ah San's version did not suffocate to death after being buried. He was really beaten to death directly on the back of the head.
If it's like the ending of Asan's version, where no one pleads guilty, the male protagonist has indeed saved the family, but the daughter will have to bear a lifelong shadow:
No matter whether the deceased was good or evil, she killed a person with her own hands, a living person.
In the long years to come, she might feel cold in her heart when she dreams about it at midnight.
No normal person can endure this.
Gao Bin changed the method of death here, making the deceased faint first and then suffocate when he was buried.
At least in this way, the eldest daughter does not have to bear the burden of killing someone with her own hands, and can be freed from the shadow of murder.
At the end, the male protagonist surrendered and designed a flashback scene where he saw the deceased suffocating in the coffin. This is also a kind of sublimation.
As a father who protects his family, he bears all the sins and even the guilt.
In this way, his family can all live a clean life.
The true perfect murder is not to exonerate everyone, but to exonerate the person you want to protect most, whether it is a legal or moral level.
When Gao Bin explained this layer to Xiao Yang, he expressed admiration:
"Director, haven't you ever thought about becoming a film director?"
Gao Bin was stunned for a moment. He really hadn't thought about this. He had always thought about adapting the script himself, then finding a reliable director to film it, and waiting to collect the money.
But Xiao Yang's words made him think a little more. He would definitely make a movie. In the world of "Downton Abbey", he often exchanged movie-making experiences with Hitchcock. For the last time, he could talk on paper, but what he lacked was practical practice.
It’s just experience.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that it might not be a bad idea to take the photos myself.
Later, when I mentioned this matter to Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu hesitated.
He believed that Gao Bin's ability was correct and he was willing to trust him, but making movies and making variety shows were two different things. With an investment of up to 200 million, no one would dare to use it for experiments.
But Xiao Yang's words completely aroused Gao Bin's addiction. He really wanted to give it a try, so he made a tactful suggestion:
"Find an experienced director to be the producer and help me check, so you can rest assured."
This was indeed an idea that had the best of both worlds. President Wu hesitated again and again, but finally agreed to let Gao Bin give it a try.
The producer hired Liu Weiqiang, who was not interested in shooting suspense, but was good at controlling action scenes.
What is needed is his shooting experience, which Gao Bin lacks.
Gao Bin still has "Longing for Life" to shoot, but he can't be distracted while filming, which caused him a lot of trouble.
In the end, it was President Wu who suggested that the program be temporarily handed over to the assistant director for filming. It was enough for Gao Bin to keep an eye on the post-production process. Anyway, after more than a year of filming, everyone is familiar with the process, so there should be no surprises.
The film crew was established, and Gao Bin held a press conference, and also invited the Yearning Audio-Technica as a guest to help stir up the popularity.
At the press conference, one of the questions that reporters were most concerned about was why Gao Bin made such a bold transformation.
Crossing over from a variety show director to a film director, and still coming from a non-professional background, this is simply too challenging!
"It seems that there are no laws and regulations that do not allow such a crossover. The main reason is that the script was created by me. No one knows the story better than me. In addition, we have a great director like Liu Weiqiang to supervise the film. I believe that the finished film will be effective."
I won’t let you down."
A reporter raised his hand:
"Director, what are the criteria for this casting? I found that the most popular actors at the moment were not used in this project."
"You also said that they are popular actors. This is a suspenseful movie. The casting is based more on the criteria of suitability and unsuitability. After seeing the finished film, everyone will know that my choice must be the best.
Appropriate."
Gao Bin was under fire, and there was nothing he could do about it. The conflict was so intense that everyone couldn't believe it.
"Director Liu, do you think highly of Director Gao? What kind of help will you provide during this filming?"
Liu Weiqiang took the microphone:
"Thank you for your question. First of all, I must say that Director Gao is the most talented young director I have ever seen. His mastery of film techniques is absolutely no less than that of directors with a professional background. I am responsible for this sentence." p>
This is no polite talk, they have met before, and according to this movie, the two had an in-depth exchange.
Gao Bin also expressed his shooting ideas during the conversation, and he planned to use the cross-montage technique.
According to the two major functions of narrative and expression, we can divide montage into three basic types in detail: narrative montage, expressive montage and rational montage.
Cross montage is a type of narrative montage.
It is the rapid and frequent alternation of two or several plots that happened at different places at the same time.
All the clues are related to each other and finally come together.
This editing technique can easily create suspense, create a tense and intense atmosphere, and enhance the sharpness of conflicts. It is a powerful way to grasp the audience's emotions.
In the movie, Li Weijie used the reorganization of multiple locations and different times to perfectly write, direct and act in a perfect crime in the film.
In order to create an alibi for the whole family on the night of the crime, he edited and reorganized what he did that night and what he did with his family the next day, as well as the two days, and successfully changed the time. This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This is a montage!
In fact, the original version is handled very well. First, the male protagonist confesses that on the 2nd and 3rd, he went into the city by himself on the 2nd, and on the 3rd, in order to create an alibi, he went into the city again with his whole family.
And I made up for some things, such as taking the bus and buying cream cakes. I deliberately did some controversial things when taking the bus or buying cream cakes.
In the second step, about ten days later, the male protagonist took the bus again, bought a cream cake, chatted with the conductor and cake clerk, and deepened his impression by saying, "I also made your bus on the 2nd, and I also bought your cake."
, what other impressive things happened to us.
In fact, it happened on the 3rd. The conductor and the cake clerk couldn't remember clearly, and they didn't argue. They just remembered this impressive thing.
Step 3: After the male protagonist was arrested, he confessed to the police his itinerary and the witnesses he met.
The police recorded the male protagonist’s itinerary, mainly what he did.
Step 4: The police called in relevant witnesses and, according to the normal interrogation process, focused on the itinerary confessed by the male protagonist. The witnesses said that there was no problem with the itinerary.
In the original version, when interrogating the witness for the first time, the police did not specifically emphasize asking the witness whether this incident happened on the 2nd, but mainly asked about this incident.
Therefore, the witness did not think much about it. Because he was deeply impressed by the matter and generally not sensitive to time, he committed perjury.
In the original version, there is a fifth step: the police later realized the montage method and may have been staggered by the male protagonist in time and space.
I called the witnesses again and asked them: Why do they remember so clearly that it happened on the 2nd? Are you sure?
The witnesses suddenly realized and said: Actually, I am not sure. The male protagonist came and told me a few days ago. I can’t remember whether it happened on the 2nd or 3rd.
This is where Gao Bin made changes to make the whole process look less forced.
These are Gao Bin's own ideas, and Liu Weiqiang did not provide any help, which is why he is willing to endorse Gao Bin in front of the media.
After being recognized by the big director, the media had no choice but to temporarily believe in Gao Bin. But if they want to prove his ability, they can only wait until the movie is released and the results come out. If it is not good, they will complain to death.
Finally, reporters turned their attention to the actors, and Song Yi encountered the same doubts as Gen Gaobin.
After all, she can only be regarded as a TV star now, and she has not even reached the level of being able to carry dramas in the field of TV dramas.
Now I intuitively jump out of the field of TV dramas and directly enter the film industry, and suddenly become the heroine. If I say that there is no shady story, I will not believe it!
"Song Yi, can you tell me how you got this role?"
This question is quite sharp, I just have to ask if there is any inside story.
This is not Song Yi's first day in the entertainment industry. She has long been prepared to face such aggressive questions.
"I have known the director for a long time, and I happened to see him after he wrote the script. Then I pushed him hard and begged him to give me this role. I like Ayu's mother so much."
The reporters faithfully recorded it, although their eyes were full of distrust!
"Song Yi, are you sure you can play the role of a mother? After all, you are not married yet and have no experience in being a mother."
"I am still confident. I have many friends who are mothers of children. After getting the script, I have been chatting with them to understand their mentality, and I have gained a lot."
Suddenly, a reporter at the end stood up and asked:
"Song Yi, can you tell everyone about your relationship with Director Gao? A few days ago, my colleague photographed you having dinner together and then went home together."
As soon as this question came up, the whole place was in an uproar.
Gao Bin also didn't expect that this reporter didn't have martial ethics. If he took photos of himself and Song Yi, shouldn't he give them to them first in exchange for some money? Why did he publish it directly?
But he wasn't afraid. He turned to look at Song Yi and saw her looking at him with gentle eyes, and he knew what she meant - you have the final say whether to announce it or not.
Gao Bin hesitated for a moment and said decisively:
"Actually, there is no need to be so surprised. Song Yi and I are boyfriend and girlfriend. We have been in a relationship for more than a year and our relationship is very stable. I have to ask everyone not to pay too much attention to it and try to focus on the movie itself!"
Damn it!
Big news!
Although Song Yi is not a top-notch actress, she is known as the cheongsam goddess and is a second-tier actress, so she is quite famous.
As for Gao Bin, he is also a popular variety show director and has created two popular variety shows in succession.
These two people who didn't originally know each other actually fell in love. Can you not be curious?
