Have you ever seen five million dollars in cash hidden on the ceiling?
Do you remember the "playground burial case" in Xinhuang, Hunan Province two years ago?
Every crime scene in the movie "Sweeping The Black War" has the shadow of a real case in real life. scales? susceptible? In this movie, all are not a problem, "violent land acquisition", "organization my", "trafficking dp", "killing and burying corpses", you want to see before but have not seen the bridge section, the movie has all.
Speaking of the movie "Sweeping Black Battle", in addition to daring to shoot, it is also particularly daring to act! Zhang Songwen not only shouted at Jiang Wu in the movie, but even said to Jiang Wu on the set: "If I can't catch you, I won't be an actor." "Why is Zhang Songwen, who used to be gentle and elegant, so crazy now?"
On April 4, 2019, the movie "Clouds Made of Rain in the Wind" was finally released after several withdrawals and deletions. The first climax of the film is that Tang Yijie, the director of the Construction Committee played by Zhang Songwen, comes to the urban village where the demolition is causing trouble.
In order to play the role of Tang Yijie, Zhang Songwen not only quickly gained 31 pounds in 20 days, but he also went to a construction committee for a month.
With a white shirt and a slightly fat figure of a middle-aged uncle, Zhang Songwen got out of the car, and the smell of "official" came out. Zhang Songwen can also form a seamless connection between Mandarin, which plays official language, and Cantonese, which plays emotional cards.
These details are Zhang Songwen's preparation for this role, but these are only the face of the character, and he also grasped the inside of the role. In the film, when Zhang Songwen and Song Jia were married, he suddenly tiptoed up and tightened the hem of his clothes with his hands. These details are the re-fullness of Zhang Songwen's role outside the script.
There is also a scene where Zhang Songwen revels in himself in the bathroom after discovering that Song Jia's lover Qin Hao has returned. Zhang Songwen first had a calm face, and even forcibly pretended to smile. Then, he forcibly put lipstick on Song Jia's face, forcibly kissed her, and finally raped his cheating wife in the bathroom.
In a short period of time to achieve such a complex emotional change, Zhang Songwen in addition to sufficient preparation for the role, but also need to have a fine design for live performance.
In the 2020 broadcast of "The Hidden Corner", the first scene in which Zhang Songwen entered the group was that he bought wontons after his daughter's death, but the owner of the wonton shop gave him three copies as usual.
He was afraid that his wife would be sad when he saw it, and he wanted to lose the third wonton, but he felt that if he lost the wonton, it would be like losing his daughter. He came back to eat the ravioli again, and suddenly the table was crooked.
After the table was crooked, Zhang Songwen's emotions collapsed instantly. And this small detail was added by Zhang Songwen himself. In addition to improvisation, Zhang Songwen starved himself for three days for this scene, sleeping only four hours a day.
In the play, Zhang Songwen also has a very important scene - he uses a recorder to secretly record the conversation between him and his son Zhu Chaoyang. Zhang Songwen suspected that his daughter's death was related to Zhu Chaoyang, so he secretly put a voice recorder in his bag.
But when Zhang Songwen went to the toilet, the recorder was discovered by Zhu Chaoyang! But Zhu Chaoyang pretended not to know, and said something touching and profound: "(Original: I really want to exchange with Jingjing's sister, even if I die, it doesn't matter, at least then, you won't be so sad." ）”
After Zhang Songwen and his son were separated, there was still a scene when they returned home. For this scene, only four words were written on the script, "Delete Recording". Zhang Songwen made this cutscene a major play, when everyone saw this, did they think that Zhang Songwen felt sorry for his son before slapping himself?
In fact, no, Zhang Songwen's two slaps were for his son, and he felt guilty, he should not have brought a voice recorder to monitor his son. The two slaps were also given to his daughter because he decided to delete the recordings and he couldn't trace them any further. Because he had no daughter, he couldn't have no more sons.
But such a Zhang Songwen, in a movie last year, was about to sign a contract, but was told to be replaced. It is not because Zhang Songwen's level is not good, but investors believe that Zhang Songwen has no box office.
Zhang Songwen, who has passed the age of confusion, is still renting a house in the suburbs outside Beijing's sixth ring road. Today, most actors in China may have a similar situation with Zhang Songwen. This is not an individual problem, but the entire industry is in an unhealthy or even bad situation.
Zhang Songwen often says that he is an experiential actor and a stupid actor, and his acting skills today are all bought by love and hard work. However, Zhang Songwen's down-to-earth acting school has been replaced because of a sentence from investors, and he still can't afford to buy a house after working hard in Beijing for many years, and he can't help but ask, what is wrong with this industry?
The love of acting and the sense of crisis brought about by the pressure of reality constantly collide in Zhang Songwen's heart, constantly breeding the anxiety unique to middle-aged people. And there is only one way to solve Zhang Songwen's mid-life crisis, that is, traffic, that is, box office!
So I hope that more friends will walk into the cinema and support actors like Zhang Songwen.
