Coquettish Rebirth

"An undercover agent with too many things on his back? Is it boring all day?" Keanu Reeves asked thoughtfully. "Well, that's right. We encountered a little problem when we were writing the script. We couldn't grasp the role well. If you think you are this role, how should you perform it better?" Jia Hongjian made a fake reason asked.Of course he didn't say that this was an interview, what he said was that he came here and asked Keanu Reeves, an old Jianghu who had worked hard in Hollywood for more than ten years, to see what suggestions the old Jianghu had.

However, such a reason is not very convincing to Reeves. He frowned slightly, and asked Jia Hongjian without much change in expression, "But this should be done by a professional screenwriter? I just An actor, not a screenwriter, is it appropriate for me to offer my opinion?" Look, the old Jianghu can obviously feel that something is wrong.The so-called specialization in the art industry means that some actors become directors, some directors write screenplays by the way, and some screenwriters become directors.But getting an actor who is not good at screenwriting to come over and give an idea for the script... This is really rare!

Of course, Jia Hongjian has a reason here, "There is a saying in our country that a wise man may lose a lot of money, and a fool may gain a lot. Of course, this does not mean that we are smart people and you are stupid. It means that no one is a saint, and everyone has loopholes in their thinking. Even if other people are not professional, their opinions are not necessarily not good. What our screenwriter wrote makes us not satisfied. And director Nolan, I don’t know if you’ve heard of it. He likes to communicate with actors and ask them what they think. But we haven’t finished the script yet, and we can’t ask the actors what they think, so we came across this opportunity, and You are an actor who has worked hard in Hollywood for more than ten years, and you have experienced many movies and performances, so I would like to ask your opinion by the way, and see if it can inspire us..."

I have to say that Jia Hongjian's reason at least sounds plausible, and his expression is very relaxed now. It definitely doesn't look like the direction of this movie depends on Keanu Reeves' opinion.Keanu Reeves saw what Jia Hongjian said.In addition, Jia Hongjian's expression was very relaxed.It was really like chatting with friends, after thinking about it for a while, he nodded slightly, which means he agreed to such an invitation.

"Such a character is an undercover agent. He came from the Sopranos family..." Reeves said to himself slightly.At this moment, the expression on his face was similar to when he was acting—basically similar to facial paralysis. "I want to atone for the family. But I became an undercover agent. Do I have to betray my relatives? Maybe...he should be full of sorrow."

"Sorrowful?" Jia Hongjian had never thought of this. "Well, sad. Although he wanted to sever contact with his relatives before. But anyway, everyone is still relatives, right? After all, they are still related by blood. He did not choose to collect information on relatives and then report them, but He chooses to leave the family alone. This proves that even though he feels that his relatives are dirty, that they are bad, and wants to give up on them, he still has no thought of solving them with his own hands, and has never thought of sending his relatives to prison with his own hands. I want to be a policeman, and I want to use my own efforts to make up for the damage caused by relatives to society, just like... like a child whose father is a bad person, and he never thought of killing his father, or It is to report his father. It is just that after his father did something bad, he wanted to help the victim behind his back and make up for his father’s crimes. Looking at this fact, this child still has feelings for his father, doesn’t he?” Keanu Reeves said in a faint, a little weak way.

Looking at him like this, Jia Hongjian couldn't help but feel that Reeves had penetrated into the heart of the character, and felt that he seemed to have been brought into the character.Could it be that the mood is too similar?Keanu Reeves has lost his relatives for two consecutive years. The child he dreamed of for almost 10 months is gone, and the dream of being a father is gone.It is estimated that because his father left home since he was a child, he has always thought that after starting a family, he must give his children a warm family and give them meticulous fatherly love?And this dream was also shattered, and even his beloved girlfriend died in a car accident.Then the younger sister who was dependent on each other got terminally ill again, and watched her dearest and closest people leave her one by one, leaving her alone.Presumably, such a scenario creates survivor's guilt?

Jia Hongjian remembered that psychologically, he had this kind of symptom. Simply put, it was a big accident, a disaster, and suddenly everyone around him died. Instead, the survivors would not feel lucky, but would feel relieved. feel guilty.They feel like they've abandoned the group, like they did something wrong and everyone died.They even complain about why they didn't do more to save people at the time—maybe they were less panicked during the escape process, could be more careful and calm, and could save family members or close people with a single hand?Maybe I should have dissuaded everyone from coming here in the first place, so that such a thing would not happen!

This survivor's guilt is also a kind of post-traumatic disorder. Many times after a major disaster, the follow-up treatment after the disaster also includes such a psychological intervention.Jia Hongjian felt that Keanu Reeves felt a little guilty, as if he felt that he must have done something wrong to cause his family members to leave one by one.Such a state of mind is really similar to "Liang Chaowei"!If you think about it according to Reeves' desire, Liang Chaowei will also send his relatives away little by little, and then if the relatives hate him, it's fine. The key is that in the end, the relatives may not even know that he is an undercover agent!And the villain's relatives don't mean to be single!It doesn't mean that sending your relatives to prison is enough. What about your relatives' wives and children?Just ignore them and watch the enemies come to avenge the old and the weak, women and children, and kill them all?Don't you have to take care of it in the end?But if you take care of it, seeing these people thank you so much, you will definitely feel more guilty in your heart!

To be honest, Jia Hongjian was really eager to come to interview Reeves this time! "Then what do you think the real character of such an undercover agent should be? How will he behave in front of the villainous relatives?" Jia Hongjian asked hastily.

Reeves pondered for a while, and then said to Jia Hongjian in a slightly melancholy tone, "When he is alone in private, he should actually hate himself, or hate himself. If it is not psychological, there is another The idea of ​​redemption and the pursuit of social justice is there, and he probably can't stand it long ago. So in private, he should be very silent, keeping everything in his mind, and maybe even like an ascetic monk. Psychologically, in order to punish himself, he does not allow himself any enjoyment, even material enjoyment, because only in this way can he feel as if he has compensated. So his home may be empty, maybe he has few good clothes, maybe He doesn't treat himself well at all. He may get crime dividends from his relatives. He is more willing to buy things for the relatives' families and children as a potential compensation. It may be for relatives in some street shootouts and the like. Sometimes, he will subconsciously protect his relatives as a kind of compensation. But this will bring him closer to his criminal relatives, and his heart will be closer, and then he will suffer even more..."

Having said this, Rivers paused, and before Jia Hongjian could speak, he continued to say melancholy to himself: "Maybe, he doesn't dare to fall in love at all, dare not develop a relationship with people outside the underworld, a relationship .Because he feels that talking about a relationship now seems to be like deliberate deception...He just fell into extreme loneliness psychologically. Sometimes he even hates his police chief and wonders why the police chief sent himself To do such a tortured thing, you will feel that the police chief sent you into the region with your own hands, and you didn't let yourself die all at once, but slowly and continuously accept the torture... He may be world-weary, he may commit suicide, there will be A bit suicidal or self-harming. But this may not be discovered by the relatives of the criminal, so maybe he has to find another outlet... Maybe when dealing with hostile forces, he will become very violent, because people always You need to have a window to vent your emotions. You can’t vent to yourself, you can’t vent to the police chief, you can’t vent to the relatives of criminals, you can only vent to other bad guys... Maybe he will even blame the common people, why they are not obedient Obedient and pay the protection fee, why resist..."

Whoa!After hearing this, Jia Hongjian felt that such a character was no other than Reeves!Even though Jia Hongjian was optimistic about Johnny Depp playing the role of "Liang Chaowei", now looking at Keanu Reeves, Jia Hongjian feels that he digs the role deeper than Jia Hongjian and the other creators thought!Even digging down to the subtle psychological level!It can be said that if Reeves is to play this role, at most the eyes are not sharp enough, and the most is a little facial paralysis, but that kind of temperament, that kind of psychological activity should be very good!In other words, it is the same as Jia Hongjian's evaluation of Reeves before - although his acting skills are not very good, but when he meets the right scene and the right role, he can't pick out any faults, and he doesn't let him down at all. People feel that this role is not right.From this point of view, it is really a bit of a combination of actors and characters, a bit of a natural combination!

So, the role of "Liang Chaowei" for Reeves?Or try again to see if he has a deep understanding of the role of "Liu Dehua"? (To be continued..)
