Coquettish Rebirth

For a movie like "The Magical Journey of Tang Xuanzang", Jia Hongjian felt that the most important thing was naturally the role of Tang Seng.So who will Tang Seng choose?Do you choose Wenzhang?Of course he won't be chosen. He probably hasn't graduated from college these days?So choose the three roles of Tang Seng in "Journey to the West" in history?However, Jia Hongjian didn't like the three Tang Seng roles in history. Although they said that the crew of "Journey to the West" positioned the three Tang Seng as "baby faces, but not a bitch", Jia Hongjian still felt that In the historical version of "Journey to the West", Tang Seng is too delicate and too shameless!

The Chinese people think that the role of the little boy, in Europe and the United States, will be directly regarded as the one who is more feminine among gay men, okay?After all, even a man like Jia Hongjian who doesn’t talk about his appearance, but at least a normal Chinese man can go to the women’s bookstore smoothly when he arrives in the United States, and he will not be kicked out by the clerk... If this is the historical drama version of Tang Seng Well, maybe foreigners really think that the Chinese monk Tang is a small subject!Although it is easy to deceive the interests of homosexual subjects-in the United States, homosexuality is a political correctness among the people. As long as you please them, it is easy to be favored by such a group, and then those who dare to express their disgust will be crowned with various Inhuman and chauvinistic titles.This is a bit like the topic of racial discrimination, which is politically correct in the United States.That is, black people can say that their music and sports are inherently better than white people, but if white people and yellow people say that their IQ is naturally higher than black people, then this is racism.In fact, why can't black people be good at sports and music?And whites and yellows are good at thinking?But this is racial discrimination, so it cannot be said!

For such a "Magic Journey of Tang Xuanzang", Jia Hongjian never thought that such a movie would take the theme of homosexuality and win an Oscar.He does not discriminate against homosexuals, but he does not want to use homosexual subjects to gain other benefits, and even deep down, he thinks such an attitude is the real non-discrimination, because he treats that group as other ordinary groups up.

So, who should you choose for the role of Tang Seng?First of all, Jia Hongjian first analyzed what this character wanted to express—this Tang Seng is a potential "schizophrenic murderer", so can such a person be said to be a pure and good person at first glance?Obviously...huh?It seems that it is also possible?Jia Hongjian's first thought was that a role like Tang Seng needs to be a bit like a middle-aged person.He is a person who can't tell good from bad at a glance.It is a person who can make people think he is good at the beginning, but after the second story is revealed, everyone can suddenly feel that Tang Seng is quite murderous when he actually looks at it...

If you can think about it from another angle.If Tang Seng gives people the first impression that he is a good person.Just a pure good person.Then when the story was over, under the flickering candlelight, his eyes suddenly brightened.With a wicked smile, he became like the perverted killer played by Huang Qiusheng, what a conflicted rush!How shocking that is!It might scare the kids to pee!

After thinking about this, Jia Hongjian felt that it was not bad to choose a good protagonist at once.Who should I choose?Jiang Wen?To be honest, Jiang Wen's appearance is too individual, and it's not suitable to play such a purely good person.Why does Jiang Wen have a personality?First of all, the most noticeable thing about him is his protruding ears, and then, he often has a little naughty smile on his face.After this kind of facial features are coordinated, it really makes him look like a "pure-bred" good person!And at most it is an ordinary person, just like Wang Qiming in "The Capital Man in New York".

What is a "purebred" good guy?That should be like Yan Shunkai!It's a good thing to say that the old man is a well-known actor in Shanghai. The old man who was born in the late 30s is now in his early 60s. He used to be the main actor in the comedy troupe in Shanghai. He played some sketches and so on. He has also appeared on the national variety show stage, such as in the skit "Zhang San and His Man" in 1993, he played a "little man" named Zhang San.As for this little man, he works in an agency, and every day he takes money and does not work. For example, Zhang San reads newspapers and drinks tea.Then, after the old director retired, a new director came in. The new director and the new official took office three times, saying that they saw that people always went out to buy vegetables during working hours, so they established a new rule, who goes to work If you have time to go out to buy groceries and get caught, the monthly bonus will be deducted.

As a result, Zhang San was reading the newspaper when he was at work that day, when a female colleague passed by with a vegetable basket.Then she passed by as she passed by, and dropped a handful of leeks without dying. In the end, Zhang San didn't see it until she left.After seeing Zhang San, I started to struggle. Should he send it to others?If he sent it, it would prove that he saw the woman buying vegetables, so he didn't report it. If the woman was arrested later, he might be implicated too.But it doesn't seem right to send it away. Why do you have to spend money to buy a handful of vegetables, but if he didn't see the other party buying the vegetables, how could he know that the woman bought them?So after thinking about it for a long time, Zhang San put the chives on his desk. He picked them up on the ground at that time, and he didn't know who dropped them.

Then at this time the leader came, and the leader asked Zhang San if he saw anyone running out to buy vegetables today.Zhang San said he didn't see it, and then the leader found the chives on Zhang San's table. At that time, he asked Zhang San where the chives came from. Seeing that his chives were in the hands of the leader, Zhang San was still muttering there, which immediately meant that Zhang San was suing. As soon as he came up, he scolded Zhang San all over his head and face, and then took the chives and left.It turned out that Zhang San was not a human being inside and out, and the leader also found out that Zhang San was lying to him, and then looked at Zhang San coldly...

All in all, this is a good thing for the old man.Most of the characters he plays are kind-hearted characters who are entangled with all kinds of little people and dare not cause trouble!It goes without saying that in the 80s, the old man played Ah Q in "The True Story of Ah Q"!People are acting school!Although there are usually many good people, but if you really want to play a serious role, you must play one role!Although the old man's appearance is not very good, he can't be called a positive person, but the person who is smiling all day makes people feel that he is a good old man, and he is the most ordinary good old man!

To be honest, if the old man hadn't gotten old, Jia Hongjian really wanted to say that he should be dressed up and brought over to play Tang Seng!At that time, in the first story, the Tang monk who is kind and smiling all day long is always a good guy.After turning around, it was discovered that there was a loophole in the story of the first layer.Immediately, his face changed and he began to tell the second story. After the second story was finished, his face became gloomy, with a kind of rush like a mental patient, which can definitely shock people all of a sudden. !

But let's talk about finding other actors.Can you find someone who is younger than Pai?At the same time, his acting skills can be very good.To be able to control this kind of subject matter, how about being able to look like a good person in the end?Do you want to choose the four big and small students of this era?Such as local idols like Lu Yi?These people will be popular in the future, and even Lu Yi can slowly prove his acting skills after more than ten years of acting career.But in this era, his acting skills are still immature, and even his appearance is a bit "baby fat", which brings a kind of particularly green and young creamy niche.It's a bit like Kong Ming, who Tang Guoqiang played in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before 93, was always a small boy, but until he played the middle-aged Kong Ming in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Tang Guoqiang's acting skills suddenly improved!Of course, the old version of "Three Kingdoms" was filmed for several years, so it is normal to gradually improve my acting skills in the middle.But Jia Hongjian and the others took half a year to make a film like this. If they find a creamy kid, can they get them right away?Can you make him perform to the level he wants all at once?

How about choosing Tang Guoqiang?Tang Guoqiang's acting skills have been tempered, and he has been slowly acting as a national leader in the past few years. From this level, he can master the momentum and acting skills... But Tang Guoqiang seems to be so imposing It has been a bit too outgoing for a few years... Even if he plays a rural cadre, he will appear more domineering after playing the role of a national leader. The kind of introversion seems inappropriate?

After much deliberation, the one in the first story in Jia Hongjian's mind is a bit restrained, then a bit calm and revealing his inner drama, and at the same time, he is a bit of a monk, and he has to put on airs when doing things... The more he thinks about it, the more he is a bit like Chen Daoming. feet!For some reason, the image of Chen Daoming suddenly appeared in Jia Hongjian's mind!Chen Daoming's "Fortress Besieged" filmed in the early 90s can be said to have brought Fang Hongjian to life!The main character, who is a good person but useless, suddenly appeared on the TV screen!Fang Hongjian, who is young, introverted, and a bit hollow in his heart, is actually quite similar to the real image of Tang Seng that Jia Hongjian set up at the beginning!And relying on Chen Daoming's acting skills, it is probably possible to play the inner drama of a good guy Biao at the beginning, and then suddenly reveal a fierce light at the end, showing that kind of extremely contrasting personality!Why are they all movie kings?And the key point is that Chen Daoming seems to have been born in the 50s, and now he is in his 40s, which happens to be the most suitable time for an actor's appearance, experience, and acting skills!

After two or three years, didn't he star in "Infernal Affairs"?Although there are not many scenes arranged for him in "Infernal Affairs", but he has already performed what he should act!And it doesn't look very old in the play!Under such circumstances, it is not impossible for Chen Daoming to shave his head bald, put on some makeup, and let him play Tang Seng in his 20s!Didn't Tang Seng even come back after more than ten or almost 20 years in the end?Then in the final scene, Chen Daoming can actually appear on the scene with his current face, so that he can appear much younger than in the first story!As for the first story, let him gain weight a little bit, shave off his beard, and change his whole demeanor, it will be easy for him to be young!After all, he was over 30 when he acted in "Fortress Besieged", but he came alive in playing Fang Hongjian, who was young and messed up in his early 20s!
