Coquettish Rebirth

Just when people all over the country began to go "crazy" for Jia Hongjian, Jia Hongjian himself started to run two films at the same time.

Although these two films were produced at the same time, to be precise, they did not start on the exact same day.To be honest, the next period of time for "Hero" will be various preparatory activities, to be precise, various scene shootings, looking for various places suitable for shooting the imagined scenes.This place really needs to be found, and it may take a month, or two or three weeks if it is fast.Relatively speaking, Nolan's "Infernal Affairs" has already been done, and Jia Hongjian and the others can quickly start shooting.

So soon, Jia Hongjian took Ye Jing and flew to the United States on a special plane, ready to start shooting "Infernal Affairs".Such an Infernal Affairs to be filmed is, to put it bluntly, different from the original Hong Kong version of Infernal Affairs or even the American version. It can only be regarded as the script written by Nolan and his brother under the guidance of Jia Hongjian. stuff.Such an Infernal Affairs can be said to be a movie that mixed some of the Hong Kong version of Infernal Affairs with some reality and the status quo of gangsters in the United States. In fact, it is quite different from the original Hong Kong version. The American version of Infernal Affairs made by Ma Pai is quite different.

After Jia Hongjian arrived in the United States, when he had a round with Nolan, the crew was immediately ready to go. Actors such as Keanu Reeves and Johnny Depp were also assembled in place. It can be said that the entire crew was in the Wait for Jia Hongjian to start!Although speaking originally, as a producer, you don't need to participate in the actual shooting process.But now that the filming has just started, Jia Hongjian always needs to come over to host the scene, doesn't he?And he also needs to be the backbone for Nolan, and control the style of shooting at the beginning a little bit, so that Nolan can roughly know how to pass Jia Hongjian in the future, right?

This is about to start filming, so the first scene to be filmed is naturally when both parties were young.For this reason, the makeup artist has a heavy responsibility - he must do everything possible to paint the two people who are almost 40 years old to look like teenagers!First of all, if the makeup is to make the middle man look like a young man in his teens or twenties, then he doesn't need any special effects makeup, and he doesn't need any special latex or silicone headgear to cover it. faces of the actors.Because actually through the most mundane makeup.As long as there is a little skill.That's enough to make the actors look younger all of a sudden - for example, when "Forrest Gump" was filmed, the leading actor Tom Hanks was actually 38!He is also a person who is running for four!As a result, even if the family ran four times, the hair above the ears was shaved and the hair on the top of the head was cut short.Then match it with a beardless look.No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like someone in their 30s and 40s pretending to be young!

same.For these two actors, when filming, they only need to make their hair look more youthful and youthful.Then all the beards were shaved off, and the dressing style was a little more youthful. Although it didn't look like a teenager at first glance, it would not be too much older!It won't feel like an old man wearing a middle school student's clothes and pretending to be tender!After doing this, like Keanu Reeves, he changed the hairstyle similar to the back of the head that he had always had before to a hairstyle similar to that of Liu Dehua and Guo Fucheng in the 90s, which directly became the hair of the hair. The combed three to seven open!

Coupled with changing into younger denim clothes or something, coupled with the "baby face" caused by Keanu Reeves's original Asian descent, he suddenly looks younger by eight to ten years old !Originally, Weiss’s face here looked young, and he looked like he was 27 or [-]. If he did it again and again, even though he didn’t have the baby fat and green taste when he was [-] or [-] years old. , but suddenly let people see that he is just in his early twenties, so the problem is really not big!

The same is true for Johnny Depp on the other side. This Johnny Depp has a changeable image. Although he is 37 or [-] now, he let down his hair and hung up his beard, and made it for him with a little makeup. With a baby-like face, and with him changing his aura, he suddenly looked a year or two younger than Keanu Reeves!If you don't compare him with the Seventeen and Eight people, just look at the greenness on his face, and say that he is now Seventeen and Eight people may really believe it!

After the two leading actors are finished, the first scene starts at the training center of the Los Angeles Police Department—speaking of which, the Los Angeles Police Department is very cooperative with this film, and they are not only willing to borrow training for free The center even expressed its willingness to mobilize comrades in the police to play tricks during non-working hours and play the role of policemen in the play!Because such a film is, to some extent, a whitewash for the Los Angeles Police Department—in the past, the description of the Los Angeles Police Department in the United States was all kinds of ridicule.Originally, it was said that a rabbit ran into the woods, what cia went to burn the forest, what f forced it in for a long time and couldn't find it. Finally, a policeman from the police station went in, but caught a raccoon and beat it back. With a bruised nose and a swollen face, the raccoon admits that he is a rabbit. Such a joke was originally meant to mock the Los Angeles Police Department!

It can be said that the impression left by the entire Los Angeles Police Department on the American side is that it is relatively violent, and that is a bit of a "traditional" way of beating.But in such a film, although the film is about the police station sending undercover agents to the gangsters, it can be regarded as a positive description of the police station, so it shows that the police station is doing serious business, how about it? It all shows that the police department is fighting crime!Moreover, in the film, there is no swearing like the American version of Infernal Affairs by Lao Ma, and there are no policemen attacking each other, so the sincerity shown is the positive image of the police. In this way, the Los Angeles police How could the bureau not support it?After all, this is a movie to help them whitewash!

In such a scene filmed at the Los Angeles Police Training Center, the first content is the training of two people in the police force.But after the training scene flashed by, it was the so-called scene of "Huang Qiusheng" interviewing "Liang Chaowei".In such a scene, the actor who played "Huang Qiusheng" discovered the background of Keanu Reeves' gangster relatives, and then he cursed and humiliated Keanu Reeves, as if Keanu Reeves Weiss is like an undercover agent sent into the police force by a gangster.However, Keanu Reeves was very restrained at this time. Maybe his temperament was like this, maybe it really made him angry and he didn't get angry too much, but in this scene, his a little bit of alienation The performance of anger is quite good, although it is different from the way ordinary people control anger, but I have to say that at least it is quite in line with the character of the character.

This Keanu Reeves tried very hard to defend himself, but the boss never listened, and even the boss humiliated and abused him in various ways, but even so, this Keanu Reeves did not get angry, as if he was in control of his emotions very good!And just when the atmosphere was developing so that everyone thought that Keanu Reeves had no hope of hanging out in the police force, "Huang Qiusheng" suddenly changed his face and became less tense than before. , I don’t look down on Keanu Reeves as much as before, “You just said that you came to be a policeman to draw a line with your family members? Just to atone for your family members? But because you made false backgrounds before, it is impossible to be in the police force. I kept it in the team, but it's not that there is no way out, that is to be an undercover agent..."

"We found that you have good emotional control, and you will not get angry when others do everything possible to provoke you. This is very important. As an undercover agent, you must not be easily provoked. You must control your emotions at all times. You must be calm at the moment. From this point of view, we found that you are still very talented as an undercover agent. At the same time, your family background and your psychology of wanting to atone for sin are also very helpful for you to be an undercover agent... Didn’t you say that you should Atone for the sins of the family? Go undercover, send them all to prison, and let them take responsibility for the bad things they did, isn't this the best way to atone for sin?"

From such a speech, it can be said that Jia Hongjian designed it for the American version of "Infernal Affairs"!What the hell is the American version of "Infernal Affairs" filmed by the old horse in history!Where does Little Li look like an undercover agent in the play?To be angry at every turn when being stimulated by others, it seems that the mental state of being cautious and nervous and about to collapse is written on his face all the time!Can such a person be an undercover agent?It's just a joke!Don't mess around with other people, and he will tell him that he is an undercover agent after a few words of insulting him!Therefore, Jia Hongjian deliberately designed such a passage for the US version of Infernal Affairs, and deliberately used Keanu Reeves' "facial paralysis" feature to show Keanu Reeves The emotional stability, not easy to be irritated and other "characteristics"!Use these to prove that Keanu Reeves is a natural undercover material!

It can be said that on this point, what Jia Hongjian wants to show is not the kind of mutual use between people in the American version of Infernal Affairs, or even the naked display of the boss using his subordinates.What he wants to express is the feeling of sympathy between men who are more inclined to the East, and it is to express a feeling similar to that of comrades-in-arms who take care of each other!From this point of view, the film he made is actually too different from the American version of "Infernal Affairs" in history, and so many differences can make such a version of "Infernal Affairs" a big hit what?Can it win the best picture Oscar honor like the American version of "Infernal Affairs" in history?
