This year's National Day file is extremely lively, with 11 movies set, of which the most anticipated is Zhang Yimou's "Rock Solid".
This anti-black theme movie was actually made 3 years ago, because the scale is too large, it has been hidden by the snow, and now it is finally going to show its true face, which is really exciting.
Yu Hewei played a black boss, Li Zhitian, in the film.
According to people who participated in the viewing meeting, this is another classic character created by Yu Hewei.
"If this movie had been released earlier, there might not have been anything to do with Gao Qiqiang."
If you watch the trailer, you'll see that this is true.
Yu Hewei has created a black and evil boss who is not quite the norm.
Starting from the bottom "Bang", climbing step by step to the richest man in the place, hands and eyes all over the sky.
He has a "maxim" in life: there is money in addition to money, and there are officials in officials.
He looks like a decent man in a suit, but in private he is vicious, evil and crazy.
Fingers sticking into hot pot, cruelly cutting tongues, smashing people with wrenches, these large-scale scenes are all from his hands.
In Hewei's own words: I have never played such an evil person.
Many people predict that after the movie is released, Li Zhitian, played by Yu Hewei, will break the circle like Gao Qiqiang, played by Zhang Songwen.
Is a villain in a movie really acting so well?
That's not an exaggeration.
Don't look at the "black boss" is just a film and television image, but under the role, there are many doorways hidden.
The leader of the street gangsters is the black boss;
Chen Honan, the bearer of Causeway Bay, is also the black boss;
Du Yuesheng, who went to the beach, is still the black boss.
It can be seen that the same black boss is also divided into three, six and nine.
Then in film and television dramas, different actors will also perform different layers.
After understanding these levels, we will have different feelings compared to Li Zhitian, played by Yu Hewei.
The first layer: people rely on clothing
As the saying goes, "people rely on clothes", when a downcast wants to become a black boss, the easiest way is to "comb your hair into an adult appearance and change into a handsome suit".
For example, Dapeng in the recently hit movie "The Eighth Suspect".
The biggest feature of Dapeng's face is instigation.
Playing the bad guy is not enough aura, can only play the only promised fraudster in "The Beneficiary", or the small boss of the car shop who was forced to Liangshan in "Desperate".
If he wants to play the black boss, he can only rely on makeup.
So when Dapeng combed the popular three-and-seven heads of the 90s, wore a slightly wide and ill-fitting suit, and appeared with a flip phone.
Some people say that he is like Gao Yalin, some people say that he is like Xu Guanwen, no matter who he looks like, the taste of the black boss in Hong Kong films will come out.
The same is makeup, and you also need to compare before and after to highlight the layering.
In the film, Dapeng changed at least three costumes.
One is the black boss who was lustful before the crime.
One is a thin man who fled to Southeast Asia as a refugee after committing the crime, and in order to change his appearance, Dapeng lost 30 pounds in 43 days.
One is a middle-aged honest man living in a secluded border town 21 years after the crime.
When he first appeared in this image, many people were amazed, and the hairstyle looked like someone had been cut with a machete, like a frustrated middle-aged man.
Dapeng can learn from each other's strengths, and when his acting skills are not yet mature, he bluffed the audience by relying on these three costumes alone.
Later, he smashed people with stones, which also became another famous scene in crime movies after Zhang Dongsheng climbed the mountain.
Of course, such a black boss is destined to be unable to become bigger and stronger.
The black boss played by Dapeng in the film does not have the ability to turn his hands over the clouds for rain, so he can only stunned to rob the bank, and then take his cousin to the end of the world, and finally hide in hiding for decades or fall into the net.
The second layer: the face is photogenic
When a black boss wants to take another step, in addition to dressing like a dog, he must also have a face on his face.
In the vernacular, you have to be ruthless enough, and you have to let others see that you are ruthless enough.
The representative character is Liu Huaqiang in "Conquest".
Liu Huaqiang, played by Sun Honglei, is a ruthless person who wanders the streets.
Tattoos, gold chains, inches, black suits, Liu Huaqiang is the "first love of the black boss" in the hearts of a generation.
Close your eyes and you will immediately see the arrogant image of him on a motorcycle and carrying a machete.
However, this is not Liu Huaqiang's most ruthless place.
The most terrifying thing about him is that he can accurately convey this ruthlessness with rich expressions and movements.
For example, in the face of the enemy, when he speaks ruthlessly, his head is tactically tilted, his finger is fingered, and he hates to poke the other party to death with a finger.
And when intimidating each other with a machete, grinning and showing a contemptuous smile, it is obviously a picture quality that is about to be pasted, but the audience can feel the shock of 4K.
This expression is very wasteful, and Sun Honglei left the sequelae of the performance after performing this drama -
When he plays ruthless people in the future, he often plays in the same way: stare at each other and laugh, then freeze his expression, and when the other side is scared and stupid, he grins again and easily pinches the audience.
This kind of photogenic performance may not be high-level, but it was especially good for TV audiences 20 years ago.
So much so that Sun Honglei later recorded a variety show, and when he met an enthusiastic audience, he would say "Your hooligans act too similarly."
Of course, this kind of black boss is only ruthless, without a city government, he is destined to do not do great things.
In the play, Liu Huaqiang finished playing ruthlessly, and he had to hide in Tibet and become an outlaw, and the audience positioned them as a rogue.
The third layer: temperament madness
If the black boss climbs further, he will take the temperament route.
Hong Kong films were called "all overfire, all crazy" at their peak, and this temperament just provided a hotbed for the role of the black boss.
In Hong Kong films, there are also those ruthless people who are in good shape.
For example, Brother Crow who lifts the table and steps on the statue; The black fly brother who shouted "eat, you".
These people who can only play ruthlessly are destined to only be little brothers, and generally do not survive to the end.
And the big brother behind the back all have a crazy temperament.
The most representative is Wu Zhenyu in "Gunfire".
The film was rushed, unscripted, shot in only 19 days, and almost repeatedly.
The film tells the story of five gangster brothers killing each other, Wu Zhenyu is just one of the five evil people, strictly speaking, he is not the black boss.
But with 20% of the scenes, he conquered the Golden Horse Award judges and won the Golden Horse Award actor.
The winning speech revealed the answer: "Although it is only one-fifth, the look in his eyes makes him jump out at once." ”
You see, if you want to become the boss in Hong Kong films, it's not enough to be ruthless, the key is that crazy temperament.
And Wu Zhenyu stood there, and the look of both right and evil eyes was the standard for the black boss.
A few years later, he finally waited for the bloom.
In "Infernal Affairs 2", he successfully played Ni Yongxiao.
Some people say that he played the Hong Kong version of the godfather, but Pico feels that the original godfather lacks that crazy temperament.
Ni Yongxiao's appearance is Sven but scary with his eyes, silently took down the old ministry under his father, calculated the fate of the family, and before he died, he found that even the younger brother around him was an enemy.
The scene where Wu Zhenyu lies in Yu Wenle's arms is a classic, and the last trace of flame in the eyes of a madman is extinguished, which makes people sigh.
Ni Yongxiao has also become a template for the black boss, and many juniors have imitated Wu Zhenyu as the black boss, including Zhang Songwen, who plays Gao Qiqiang.
When "Crazy" was a hit, some people asked, if Wu Zhenyu came to play Gao Qiqiang, what would it taste like?
I don't know how Wu Zhenyu acted, but it will definitely be a little more crazy.
It is a pity that this kind of black boss is full of drama because of the attributes of the nerve knife, and also has a wanton romantic feeling.
But because there are not enough cities in the chest, they often end in tragedy, and Ni Yongxiao is the best example.
The fourth layer: mental brainwashing
If you want to take a step further, then the black boss will not only have a thick face and a black heart, but also learn brainwashing, which is much more powerful than a machete.
Typical examples of these are "Black Hole" and "Black Ice".
Nie Mingyu in "Black Hole", because he jumped into the water to save his companions when he was young, suffered from asthma and sexual impotence, and his personality began to be distorted, breeding a social personality.
Nie Mingyu is a pragmatic villain, he mentally brainwashes his junior brother, and then hides behind the scenes and laughs at the storm.
His outfit has also been upgraded compared with Liu Huaqiang.
The same is black, but he wears a black uniform, black gloves, and black-framed glasses, switching back and forth between literary uncles and perverted bigwigs, which is elusive.
At Nie Mingyu's level, he no longer had to go down to do the dirty work himself.
The screenwriter set him a father who was the mayor, and Nie Mingyu lived under his father's pressure since he was a child.
So in the later period, he blackened, in addition to satisfying the perverted psychology, there was also a sense of fighting against the patriarchy and fighting for freedom, is it immediately tall.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Yimou's "Solid as a Rock" is adapted from "Black Hole", and the original name is also "Black Hole", it seems that Lao Mozi also has a soft spot for this plot.
And "Black Ice" is an upgraded version of "Black Hole".
Guo Xiaopeng, played by Wang Zhiwen, is the same as Nie Mingyu's growth experience and blackening process.
But he went one step further, he was no longer simply brainwashed, but became a spiritual teacher, with his own logic of accidents, and he was convinced of it.
In a big vernacular, fool others, fool so much that you even believe yourself.
Such people do not disdain appearances.
So we see that in the end, Guo Xiaopeng was finally arrested, wearing a prison uniform and combing his bald hair, but still talking, using an 11-minute monologue to explain his life ideal - to control human beings with drugs.
It is obviously nonsense, but under his magnetic voice, even the audience has fallen, which is the charm of Wang Zhiwen, the god of lines.
Of course, by the stage of Nie Mingyu and Guo Xiaopeng, they are already a little "wise and close to the demon", they can only be characters in film and television dramas, and they are not grounded.
Want to get grounded, complete the whitewashing, and get the last stage.
The fifth layer: the epee has no edge
The big guys in the previous stages, no matter how arrogant, will eventually go to extinction without exception.
Only the big guys at this stage can successfully go ashore and become approachable and successful people who are the envy of everyone.
Gao Qiqiang in "Crazy" is such a person.
Gao Qiqiang in this drama is divided into three stages.
The first 13 episodes are Gao Qiqiang's depravity process.
A fishmonger, by the twist of fate, embarked on a road of no return.
At this stage, Gao Qiqiang did everything based on the three words "last resort", which is essentially a good person.
The middle 13 episodes are the process of Gao Qiqiang's blackening, and he has changed from a good guy to a bad guy.
Of course, he relied on clothing.
When the fishmonger wears a decent white suit, when the fishmonger meets his former sister-in-law, a new black boss is born.
Despite his pompous discord, the villain's rich face satisfies the fantasies of many people.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Qiqiang also had a photo.
The flattery when facing Uncle Tai, the righteousness when facing Xiaohu, the treachery when facing Lao Mo, the intimate when facing his sister-in-law, and the composure when facing An Xin.
At this stage, Gao Qiqiang gradually tore off the cloak of sincerity and turned into a walking meme, seeing people talking about people, and talking about ghosts.
Then, Gao Qiqiang got rid of the dissident and really became the black boss, and the temperament of the big man was about to come out.
If in the past, when he faced An Xin, he was still a thief with a weak heart, then after completing the advance, he was already convinced that he was the right party.
At the end of episode 26 of the whole drama, there is a wonderful metaphor, An Xin, who represents justice, stands at the crossroads of intelligent transportation, but he is lost.
Gao Qiqiang, who was passing by in the car, had rolled down the window and watched his former opponent lose.
The last 13 episodes are the road to Gao Qiqiang's fall, at this time, he has covered the sky with one hand, and has also evolved to the highest realm of the black boss - heavy sword without edge.
We found that this old man completely lost his temper in the past, spoke slowly and methodically, and treated people very kindly.
He doesn't drive luxury cars and rides a broken electric car;
He has no shelves and mingles with the locomotive boy;
His style is simple, and he returns to his old house every year to eat bitter meals;
He started a charity business, and often went to the nursing home to do volunteer work.
This is the ultimate version of Black Boss.
After they crawled and stumbled, they found that the hardest thing in walking in the rivers and lakes is not the fist, but the human heart.
They understand that there are people on people, and there are officials on officials.
No matter how arrogant you are, you are just a pawn of others, and it is better to hide it than to sacrifice ugliness.
So they completely sharpened the blade, or took a wooden sword to show people, and then simply unarmed, seemingly harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, a phone call can make the local people tremble.
If in reality, "Crazy" can be finished in 26 episodes.
Gao Qiqiang will succeed in whitewashing, he will write a book and say that the black history of the past has been transformed into a history of arduous struggle.
In reality, there is no shortage of such powerful characters, and they have become people.
It's a pity that this is a TV series, and Gao Qiqiang must fall.
So, the screenwriter forcibly let Gao Qiqiang drop his wisdom, and a black boss with a full level of cultivation finally ended hastily.
But such scrawling can not cover up the brilliance of Gao Qiqiang's character, the audience is still attracted by his charm, knowing that he has done all the bad things, and still hopes to continue to follow him.
The above are the five stages of the black boss's advancement in film and television dramas.
If they were born in troubled times, these people are likely to become a generation of heroes.
It is a pity that born in peacetime, they are destined to become gangsters.
Just like after Song Jiang took his brothers to take revenge for Tianxingdao, he still couldn't escape the fate of being recruited;
The black bosses spend their whole lives just to wash off a "black" word, which is their sorrow.
We are looking forward to the release of "Rock Solid", I don't know how many levels can you see from Yu Hewei's version of the black boss?
