Huang Xuan is an actor with a very special physique.
For a long time, he couldn't get the main role, but even if he only appeared for a few minutes, he could easily and naturally catch your and me's eyes.
"Unmanned" is like this, "Blue Gate" is like this, and even the few scenes of the star-studded "Golden Age" can make Huang Xuan's Douban gathered in Wenqing be repeatedly mentioned. Many netizens therefore said that he was "most suitable for acting in period dramas", after all, the literati style in the special context is not all dependent on acting, and the charm of the actors themselves is stronger than anything.
Similar good performances are much better, the directors and screenwriters take the initiative to convert his appreciation into resources, and the audience accumulates this recognition and affirmation into some kind of beads to be appreciated.
So a few years ago, whenever Huang Xuan's new work was on the file, netizens and the media would use headlines such as "This time he should always 'explode'" to imagine the Cool Text scene that may be the actor's step by step because of the role of the work, but ignored that Huang Xuan, as an actor, already has a national degree and a good reputation, and the set of KPI assessment rules used to introduce the new Aidou is not compatible.
Under the influence of the "pop" connoisseurship, Huang Xuan was also confused and lost.
After "Fanghua", Huang Xuan, who has a good momentum, has starred in two TV series in succession, trying to interpret the suspension of the hegemonic plot in the luxurious urban drama, creating classic thunder sentences such as "I am in love with your body and the voice of another woman".
Trust is built in time, but destruction takes only a flicker.
The Douban short review page of "Perfect Relationship", the four stars that rushed to Huang Xuan and the one star who complained about his greasy acting skills were close together, which was more dramatic conflict and watchable than the dog blood marriage of the hero and heroine.
So after my friends had already started chasing and Amway had several rounds of Aim, the wind finally blew on me.
I can boldly admit that at first my attitude was vaguely resistant —
Although the male protagonist played by Huang Xuan completely threw off the label of "greasy" as soon as he appeared, and even his hair was gray and his face was full of wrinkles, the whole person looked ten years older than the screen state of the "Fanghua" period.
The work is also very discouraged, and a simple wood carving stall can be set up on the side of the road with a bicycle, and the guests can do whatever they want and earn some handicraft money without saying much.
But camera scheduling and atmosphere creation tell you all the time that this person is not small.
Otherwise, such an unobtrusive stall, such an unimpressive-looking craftsman, how could he be particularly sensitive to the undercurrents in the market.
What is the setting of Aiming? Before liberation, in the early summer of 1949, Songjiang, the largest city in the country.
Ye Guanying, commissioner of the Songjiang Secret Service, wanted to pass on an important piece of information with the secret agents, and the police had planned to lay an ambush at the Songjiang wharf, planning to take down the intelligence with people.
Who knew that the grass frightened the snake, and the alarmed Ye Guanying hid in a place with three sides covered, and also took a child as a hostage for positive protection.
This is expected that the police do not dare to openly shoot in the downtown area, and the Matsue police officers really do not have the ability to take the first rank thousands of miles away.
Who knows that when the police captain Cao Bida decided to exchange hostages himself, Ye Guanying was hit by a third-party bullet from nowhere...
Under the premise that the scene has been blocked in advance, there will also be a third person who directly hit the target, which is obviously beyond the expectations of the Matsue police.
Before his coma, Ye Guanying mentioned the frightening jellyfish assassination team, and the Secret Service also believed that his assassination was extremely closely related to "jellyfish".
No one knows who the "jellyfish" really is.
Even the files of the Military Command and The Secret Service record only a large number of assassination missions carried out during these thirteen years, but the methods and habits of assassination are blank.
The East China Bureau introduced Ouyang Xiangling, who had studied "jellyfish", to the Songjiang police, seeing what materials she had prepared, and every page was appalling.
We know that Huang Xuan starred in the male protagonist, he just appeared in the joint scene, and the director used a lot of camera switches to render the particularity of his role, which inevitably made people suspicious:
The police said that no matter how good the marksmanship is, it can't hit Ye Guanying, if the male protagonist played by Huang Xuan is the mysterious person who shot it, then it seems that ordinary people can hit the commissioner in the dead corner with a wooden fish - is this "city sniper" scene really not repeating the Thunder Man bridge section that once "anti-Japanese god drama" flew out of eight hundred miles with one shot?
But the suspense of the first two episodes is really a bit much, after all, Huang Xuan is not so much like a bad person.
He does have loopholes that you and I can see through at a glance:
He claimed his surname zeng, and told Cao Bida that he had never been a soldier and was covered with gun marks because he had been wounded by the Japanese when they occupied Songjiang. But the "zengsi" only appeared in the area three years ago, and nearby residents can only provide testimony dating back three years.
Another example is the inexplicable indifference, such as facing the interrogation of the police station but without fear... This is not the state that ordinary ordinary people should have.
But his only anxious moment in the police station was to ask people what time it was, and the first thing he did after he was busy dealing with the police was to call a third-grade girl.
Saving money and hurrying up are all to buy cakes for this girl named Xiaoxue for her birthday.
He said that he was another parent of Xiaoxue, and he was a master of the taste of hermitage after hiding his name. Will the viciousness of the "jellyfish" really be the other side of this person?
At that time, in Songjiang City, there was a suspected master of assassinating Ye Guanying, and it was not only the male protagonist played by Huang Xuan.
The beginning of "Aiming" is actually another murder case, someone killed a distinguished guest on the Victoria cruise ship to replace the identity of the other party.
At the time of the crime, the murderer wore a wig and beard, and his posture was elegant.
When he walked out of the murder scene carrying the box, the top hat was crisp, the coat was shaking, and he had a different style.
It was obviously not Huang Xuan, and this tall man appeared in the hospital where Ye Guanying was staying with a bouquet of flowers, and his purpose was self-evident...
So who is he?
Killing the guest and then following the traces of the commissioner all the way is more meaningful than giving up for the purpose of accomplishing the purpose, and its style of holding the knife and not blinking is more obviously in line with people's description of "jellyfish".
With a skill but willing to hide in the world, who does Huang Xuan play?
Carrying a lot of mysteries, who is the real "jellyfish"?
I chased it all the way down because of this suspense, and I didn't expect to "snap" and fall into the pit.
Look up at the list of main creators, five hundred directors...
harm! If I don't say it earlier, I will be able to adapt to this narrative technique with mystery that keeps you looking down.
As the curtain slowly opens, the "double male" setting gradually surfaces.
Cao Bida sent the wooden fish to Ouyang Xiangling, who had studied "jellyfish" very deeply, and finally locked in the true identity of the mysterious man who called himself "Zeng Si":
"Herding fish" is the existence of symbiosis and food with "jellyfish".
This extraordinary man is named Su Wenqian, who was once the old partner of the military unity killer Chi Tiecheng.
The golden duo had carried out several assassination missions during the War of Resistance Against Japan, assassinating several Japanese officers and pseudo-government officials. However, after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the civil war broke out, and Su Wenqian and Chi Tiecheng were gradually involved in the chaos between the parties.
During a mission execution, Su Wenqian accidentally killed his life-saving benefactor Yang Zhiliang, and from then on, he became suspicious and disgusted by the sniper, so he decided to wash his hands and retire to the jianghu.
This walk, no one told.
It wasn't until Su Wenqian couldn't hold back and rescued people during the "jellyfish" assassination of Ye Guanying, that a group of people, including Chi Tiecheng, knew that the "herding fish" had returned.
This pool iron city, ah, is really a wolf talk is not right (touch the chin...
As soon as he saw the half-cut wooden fish, as soon as he heard that the "herding fish" appeared, a mysterious smile immediately exploded on his face...
Obviously, a few minutes ago, because of the failure of the operation, the disciples were self-harming and apologizing, and they also had to wrap salt in the wounds to "remember this lesson.".
After knowing that it was Su Wenqian who shot it, he said with great pride, "One slingshot can win, and all of you can't win him together!" ”
In the past three years, Chi Tiecheng has not given up looking for Su Wenqian's place, and the reason why Ye Guanying chose the joint location at Songjiang Wharf was also to listen to Chi Tiecheng's confession to give him a "surprise".
Who knew that the apprentice would be wrong, worried that Su Wenqian, who could crack the secret code of the jellyfish group, would fall into the hands of the Communist Party and would help the police station people decipher their intelligence, so they planned to kill the killer... However, as soon as Chi Tiecheng came, he disobeyed the order to save Su Wenqian.
Chi Tiecheng himself admitted that for the sake of Su Wenqian, he broke many of the existing regulations and broke the sign that the jellyfish group never had the possibility of failure.
"Because of you Su Wenqian, for the first time, I put the task in the second place", just to ask him to return and join hands again.
But is this "affectionate" really just to cater to the "selling corruption" needs of the current audience's "kswl"?
Of course not.
Su Wenqian and Chi Tiecheng knew each other in a small way, but their living conditions were far apart. The former is a great young master with a superior family, while the latter is an orphan who has to practice the ability to play with people's lives in order to protect himself.
Unexpectedly, the "one-two-eight" incident left Su Wenqian homeless, and with the acquaintance he had saved from playing slingshot with Chi Tiecheng before, the two of them embarked on a long road of learning art from a teacher and entering the same killer organization.
When Su Wenqian's life was in danger, it was Chi Tiecheng who saved his life.
Su Wenqian is Chi Tiecheng's best partner and the only identified opponent.
Only this person, from childhood, compared with him with the slingshot, grew up to be able to compare marksmanship, and even under the premise that his right hand was seriously injured, he could use his left hand to perform a wonderful marksmanship that surprised everyone.
Moreover, Chi Tiecheng's exception for Su Wenqian also has some meaning of atonement:
The mistake that made Su Wenqian decide to quit the sniper world three years ago and no longer carry out the assassination mission was actually the result of Chi Tiecheng's design to complete the purpose.
Su Wenqian's savior Yang Zhiliang detected the assassination plan and walked to the muzzle of the "Muyu" instead of Qin Henian, the original assassination target of the jellyfish group.
And Yang Zhiliang is also an important existence that has always guided Su Wenqian to believe in his heart and use the goodness and justice in his heart to distinguish the goal.
Therefore, that manslaughter made "Muyu" disappear completely, because it not only destroyed Su Wenqian's belief in the work he was engaged in, but also lost 100% trust in his former life-and-death partner Chi Tiecheng.
Shooting is not good or bad, and what really determines right or wrong is the choice of who to aim the muzzle of the gun at.
Su Wenqian became a sniper because of helplessness, "awakening" is not overnight, after Yang Wenliang left, he is anonymous, living in the world, only Xiaoxue mother and daughter can make his emotions ripple, and the others are "not my business".
What finally impressed him was a belated secret —
Both Yang Zhiliang and Chi Tiecheng saved Su Wenqian's life, but Chi Tiecheng originally grinned and said, "Your life is only up to me", while Yang Wenliang, as a communist, was willing to give up his life because he believed that Su Wenqian was a good person.
The grace of the two lives is not the same direction.
Chi Tiecheng's xiaozhi reason three years later was moved by emotion, in addition to his appreciation of Su Wenqian's technology, there was also a panic that his good skills were used by the Communist Party.
But when Ouyang Xiangling personally went out on the horse and used Yang Zhiliang's death to force him to admit his identity and face the heart of "Su Wenqian", layer after layer of defense was gradually broken, and the "self" really came out.
Huang Xuan said that his whole body was immersed in the play, and his whole body was still shaking after filming Su Wenqian's "awakening".
Because from the perspective of the character, Yang Zhiliang's existence and sacrifice are all shackles that make Su Wenqian close himself, and only through this key "key" can he pry the door of his heart.
In the end, Su Wenqian decided to join the anti-assassination group and lead the special task force that knew nothing about "jellyfish" to fight back, precisely because of human nature and great love.
When you play from both sides, you can compare the difference in styles:
The jellyfish assassination team was well-equipped to attack Yin Qiansu, director of the Songjiang Grain Bureau, but first threatened to assassinate Songjiang Mayor Wen Kedi, so that all security forces were concentrated on the mayor, so that there were gaps around Yin Qiansu.
Then, taking advantage of the opportunity of Qin Henian, a well-known Democrat in Songjiang, who was recuperating in the hospital due to food poisoning, he released false news that "Qin Qiansu was critically ill" to Yin Qiansu, who was worried about his condition.
In order to see The "Last Side" of Qin Henian, Yin Qiansu rushed to the hospital, stepped out of the mansion where the police were strictly prepared, and stepped into the trap prepared by the jellyfish group for a long time.
After getting off the bus to the hospital, the internal corridor of the hospital, and entering Qin Henian's ward, there were sniper ambushes.
And what Su Wenqian wants to lead here is a complete "raw melon egg".
But he was able to lead the Communist Party's anti-assassination team to sabotage Chi Tiecheng's elaborate plans again and again.
Former friends become today's opponents, and every tacit understanding point of mutual understanding will become a weakness and pain point for attacking, which makes the "two males" duel more and more exciting.
The first few episodes of "Aiming" actually only unfolded the plot changes within one day, but the multi-perspective cut allows the audience to have a clearer and three-dimensional understanding of the characters, and also allows the plot to unfold in the second order, and when chasing the drama, I am afraid that fast forward will miss any detail, and I have a further understanding of the danger and strangeness of intelligence transmission.
In addition to the "two males" duel, the slow unfolding of the Hengzhou line has gradually unraveled the various links with the assassination operation in Songjiang City, the dialogue of the lines is hidden in the killing machine, the group portrait characters are plump one by one, and each dialogue is an unintentional life and death temptation.
Aim splits "sniping" into two actions, "aim" and "shoot.". The latter is a judgment of victory or defeat, while the former is the exploration and excavation of one's own heart, which requires longer waiting, more arduous training, and firmer belief to make the most accurate decision.
As for which is heavier or lesser, Su Wenqian and Chi Tiecheng told us the result with the wrong body that had met but eventually parted ways, and the director also gathered the main creator's thoughts into the title.
Huang Xuan said that Su Wenqian is a very dramatic role, because he is no longer a "love brain" and a "brave martial artist", but after experiencing the repeated struggles of human nature, he follows the light of justice. We continue to explore similar themes not only to mobilize a certain type of emotion and create a similar screen image, but also to think, explore, and sacrifice the peace that you should cherish.
What is more important is always the human heart, after all, the choices of advance and retreat in the special environment and the brightness and darkness of human nature in the changes of the wind and clouds have never been so simple choices.
