Chapter 1,207 It’s hard to reunite a broken mirror, no one is young anymore
After listening to "Alang's Story" told by Li Yi, everyone was silent for a while.
No wonder Li Yi said before that this character is the kind of scumbag that no one can forgive. Is Alang a scumbag?
Inevitably, what he did is absolutely unforgivable.
However, after listening to the whole story, it was difficult for them to hate this character in their hearts.
Of course, they also know why Li Yi said that he wanted to find an actor who is obviously very bad but makes people uncomfortable.
Because such a character can be said to be a prodigal, a man who still has the character of a prodigal even in the end.
Some people may do a lot of things to make up for their mistakes, but some people don't know what to do even if they want to make up for their mistakes.
Alang is undoubtedly such a person.
He finally chose to go racing, why?
Can racing make up for it?
This approach makes people feel very childish and immature.
But for Alang, this is the only thing he can do, or in other words, the only thing he is better than others. Apart from this, he has nothing else to offer.
So, he went to race cars, but the difference was that back then, he went to race cars just to be cool, just for fun, because he liked racing.
But this race many years later had cost him everything he had. He naively wanted to use this to tell the woman and son he had been sorry for that he had looked back.
He just wants to prove through racing that he wants to turn around and has been working hard.
It's a pity that some things are done wrong even if they are done wrong. Even if the broken mirror is re-glued, the cracks cannot be eliminated.
But Alang's story will have a great impact on everyone present.
Who has never been young?
For Chen Weijie, Chen Wen, Lin Yunbin and others, even though they are now famous all over the world, even though Chen Weijie is known as a good entertainment man who has not had any scandals for many years, he was once young.
Who was not unruly and unruly when he was young?
Chen Weijie was also like this. Many people don't know that in his early years, Chen Weijie used to be a young and Dangerous boy.
There are still many people who don’t know that when Chen Weijie was young, he was also a romantic boy, and he once broke a girl’s heart, leaving a lifetime of regrets.
However, in comparison, the damage caused by his youthful frivolity is not so unforgettable.
But for him, this kind of story, Alang's story, still touches a lot.
For a big boy like Chen Wen, he had been a stubborn man, had fights in the street, had fun photographing his mother-in-law, and had many romantic affairs when he was young. Naturally, he had also been loved and hurt.
passed a certain girl.
As for Chu Xuexiang, every woman may fall in love with a prodigal when she is young. They are unruly, unrestrained, freedom-loving, and pretentious!
Although she had never really been with a prodigal, she had once admired or thought that a certain bad boy was cool, and had paid some attention to him...
Just like what Li Yi said before.
"If you are young, fall in love with a prodigal, he will give you infinite wonderful things.
If you are young, don’t fall in love with a prodigal, only ordinary life can be exciting.”
Falling in love with a prodigal will bring you infinite brilliance, but such brilliance often comes at a huge price.
Don't fall in love with a prodigal. Maybe life won't have so many ups and downs, and maybe it won't leave so many wonderful memories. But a life as plain as water, isn't it another kind of wonderful?
"How's it going? Brother Jie? Are you interested in the role of A Lang?" Li Yi looked at Chen Weijie and asked.
Not to mention, at present, Chen Weijie is definitely the most suitable candidate.
First, what is a prodigal?
You have to be handsome enough, at least for the audience
This must be the case, because only if you are handsome enough can you give a girl a more convincing basis for admiration.
As the veteran king of Hong Kong Island and an old star with both idol and ability, Chen Weijie is naturally handsome enough.
Secondly, you must have enough popularity with passers-by and audiences. Although Chen Weijie has acted in many bad movies, basically no one can say that it is because of his bad acting. This is where his personal charm lies.
People will subconsciously look for excuses for him. If it is a bad movie, then there must be a problem with the plot, and it must be the director who is stupid, not the actors.
At the same time, when you are young, you must be cool enough, and when you are old, you must have a sense of vicissitudes of life, but still retain a sense of innocence, and Chen Weijie is the perfect candidate for the same.
Chen Weijie is known as the Immortal King, and his age is not a problem.
And I have rich life experiences, so the sense of vicissitudes of life is deep in my bones.
It is the accumulation of his many years.
Moreover, "A Lang's Story" is definitely a Hong Kong film, and it definitely needs an actor from Hong Kong Island.
all hit!
"I took this role!" Chen Weijie didn't hesitate any more.
In fact, when Li Yi mentioned it, he was already moved.
If you are not an old Hong Kong Islander, it is difficult to understand this sentiment.
Nowadays, the market is no longer on Hong Kong Island, and the taste of old Hong Kong movies has long since disappeared quietly.
Even though there are still many police and gangster movies in Hong Kong today, they have also kept pace with the times and are more in line with the tastes of mainland audiences. In recent years, movies with a sense of the times such as "A Lang's Story" can be said to be the only one made by Li Yi before.
I have filmed the series "Once Upon a Time in Hong Kong" and "Sister Tao".
But "Alang's Story" is completely different from those two films.
Because "A Lang's Story" should tell a story set in the golden age of Hong Kong movies.
It can be said to be the era that has the most flavor of old Hong Kong movies.
"Then you have to think carefully about how to play a scumbag." Li Yi said with a smile.
Chen Weijie nodded.
This question may sound simple, but in fact, it is really not that easy.
Scumbag, when Alang was young, he was undoubtedly a scumbag to the core.
But for this role, you also need to be a scumbag, but you also need to show enough charm. A prodigal who is not cool enough does not even have the qualifications to be a scumbag.
So how to play such a role well is not an easy task even for a veteran actor like Chen Weijie.
"Also, when it comes to getting along with children, uh, let's do this. I'll leave it to you to find the actor who plays your son. If you find it, you can cultivate your relationship. Is that okay?" Li Yi said again.
Chen Weijie nodded.
Indeed, although Li Yi did not describe the relationship between Alang's son in the film in detail, but only one sentence: "Although they are father and son, they are like brothers." It is enough to explain the relationship between father and son.
But if you want to show the natural father-son relationship, it cannot be done in a short time.
This is different from "The Gift from Room No. 7" and "The Wedding Dress" that Li Yi shot back then.
Therefore, what Li Yi needs is that kind of father-son feeling.
