"Keeping the moon" is "keeping the covenant", and untying the knot in the heart in 21 years
The arrogant bandits openly robbed the money truck in front of the bank, killing 3 people and snatching 15 million yuan in 2 minutes, but the mastermind of the robbery, Chen Xinwen, completely disappeared after committing the crime, and this case became the knot that plagued Wang Shouyue for 21 years.
In Lin Jiadong's view, "keeping the moon" is "keeping the contract": "The police have the belief in arresting bad people, and Wang Shouyue has another side, that is, guarding the original intention." In this story, He Lan and I are brothers, and he died because of this case, and I must have regrets in my heart. In the camera, I have been on my desk with He Lan's photo, because I have been unable to put it down for 21 years, hoping to end this regret by solving the case. I couldn't afford not to do this, so after I retired, I was still looking for Chen Xinwen, and as soon as I knew where he was hiding, I set off immediately. ”
Wang Shouyue (played by Lin Jiadong)
In order to shape the character in a more three-dimensional way, Lin Jiadong went to the public security department to study, repeatedly watched the video recording of the police on the mission, understood the status and process of the police handling cases, and listened to the stories of the police. Compared with the previous police and bandit films that highlight action scenes, "The Eighth Suspect" is more realistic, without too much drama, and the inner drama is what Lin Jiadong finds the most enjoyable part of this performance: "The audience has many choices for watching movies, not only visual stimulation, but also inner satisfaction." Let the audience feel the inner world of a character, let the audience walk out of the cinema and think: Why did this person choose this? What would you do if it happened to you? ”
For the sake of the role, the camera also keeps a sense of distance from Dapeng
In the film, Wang Shouyue, who has retired, accidentally saw a person similar to Chen Xinwen in the news report, and immediately left for the border town mentioned in the news. Wang Shouyue came to the home of Chen Xinwen, who had changed his name and surname, and there were not many lines in this reencounter scene, but the eye contact between the two was quite intriguing.
Lin Jiadong believes that the relationship between Wang Shouyue and Chen Xinwen is not only a contest of good and evil, but also a reflection on complex human nature. At that time, Chen Xinwen's starting point for wanting to build a bridge for his hometown to improve the traffic situation was not wrong, his fault was that he misappropriated the project funds and wanted to fill the funding gap through robbery, Lin Jiadong said: "This is a wrong decision that affected Chen Xinwen's entire life." After Wang Shouyue and Chen Xinwen meet again, there is a dinner scene, Wang Shouyue tells Chen Xinwen that his father has passed away, and his wrong decisions have led to someone dying, and he is also understanding his state, the state of his wife and daughter. I think Wang Shouyue's heart is a little distressed, but after leaving, he still decisively called his colleagues to arrest Chen Xinwen. If you break the law, you will face punishment, which is a choice between reason and reason. ”
Dapeng plays Chen Xinwen
Previously, Lin Jiadong had seen Dapeng's comedy movies, and the comedy image presented by Dapeng in it was very different from Chen Xinwen in "The Eighth Suspect". In order to play Chen Xinwen, Dapeng first gained 20 pounds and then quickly lost 30 pounds, and this dedication made Lin Jiadong praise: "Actors serve roles, and being able to change so much and sacrifice so much for a role is the most satisfying thing for actors." I appreciate the effort and I hope to have that opportunity. ”
In this shooting, Dapeng, a Northeasterner, had to challenge speaking Cantonese, while Lam Jiadong, who spoke Cantonese, had to speak Mandarin the whole time, which was a big challenge for both of them. At the same time, due to the setting of the characters, the relationship between the two is also very delicate. Lin Jiadong said: "The police and the criminals must be opposites, I don't know what you are going to do next, and you don't know what information I have." Therefore, outside the camera, our emotions will also maintain a sense of distance, and we can give corresponding reactions according to the performance at that time when shooting. This time I am very happy to cooperate with Dapeng, it is a very good exchange. ”
Partner Zhang Songwen again, and change the play to catch each other
"The Eighth Suspect" is the second collaboration between Lin Jiadong and Zhang Songwen, the two have known each other for more than ten years, and have enough tacit understanding to accurately catch each other's presence when filming opponents. "Zhang Songwen will temporarily add a little detail on the scene, or the performance is different. That's the most fun part, and suddenly he changed it, and suddenly I changed it again, but as long as we're in our roles, we can catch it. This kind of cooperation is interesting, and there will be many unexpected effects. Lin Jiadong said.
The villain role in "Crazy" made Zhang Songwen a household name, and the villain of "The Eighth Suspect" won the Golden Goblet Award for Best Actor for Dapeng. Lin Jiadong has also played villain roles many times, and he believes that each character must have its own logic of behavior, even if it is a villain: "When I get the script of a villain, I first think about why he did it." I don't believe that there must be some reason why someone who is born to want to be a bad person must break the law or touch the bottom line of morality. I had to understand the logic of his actions and at the same time I had to show the audience what motivated him. ”
In "The Eighth Suspect", Lin Jiadong (second from right) and Zhang Songwen cooperate again
From an unknown supporting role to the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actor, Lam has created many characters that have impressed audiences. But he rarely recalls the past, and even "forgets" it as soon as possible every time he finishes filming a play: "I won't think too much after filming, because I always think about the past and trap myself." Every time I finish filming, I spend a week or two going out and walking, meeting different friends, chatting with different people, and reconnecting with the world. Maybe I won't remember it again until the release publicity: yes, I acted in this play. The past is gone, and I want to keep myself blank and meet the new challenges of the future. ”
What new scripts do you want to challenge? "Movies are not just dreams, they should also reflect reality. In real life, there are not only decent and villains, but also many different professions and identities, and I think this is the most interesting part of life. What I haven't experienced, what I haven't touched, I want to try. I'm waiting for a director or screenwriter to discover another side of me that I may not even know what this side is. Lin Jiadong said.
