Disaster Artist

Judging people by their appearance is obviously a wrong prejudice, but human beings are visual animals and often fall into the same trap again and again.

In fact, the victims of "judging people by their appearance" are not only people who do not conform to the public aesthetics, but also those so-called handsome men and women.

Tang Shouyi, an unquestionably handsome guy, handsome, coquettish, and handsome, but because of this, people always define him as an idol and a vase, so he needs to spend ten times or twenty times his efforts to prove that he is also a man. an excellent actor.

Unfortunately, until now, he has not been able to get the affirmation of a Golden Book Award.

Of course, on the whole, "good-looking" people often have more advantages, but the prejudice of "appearance first" is a constraint on everyone.

It is precisely because of this that more than one actor broke the prejudice by pretending to be ugly, and finally won the recognition of the award above the Golden Book Award.

Not to mention, Lu Qian did the same—

People tend to think he's a good guy just because of a good-looking skin, but soon, they'll find that they're terribly wrong.

Wei Dongmang is no exception.

Is Wei Dongmang a handsome guy?

Obviously, naturally, people can only see his appearance, not his performance, or even selectively ignore it.

Moreover, Wei Dongmang also has an obvious disadvantage. His expressions are relatively subtle, lacking ups and downs, and all emotions are hidden under the calm surface.

Therefore, once the director pulls away from the camera, he doesn't even need a long shot, just a close-up or a medium shot, and at the same time does not give Wei Dongmang enough space, his performance will immediately fall into a kind of naive, greasy, rigid, and rigid. In a predicament, this is even more terrifying than facial paralysis—

Because of exaggeration.

However, in the film "Simple Child", the director's camera gave Wei Dongmang enough space, and at the same time, it was presented in an absurd and dreamy way, and then Wei Dongmang shined brightly, looking forward with a smile Shenghui can light up the entire big screen with ease.

Perhaps, Wei Dongmang is not an acting genius, he needs to meet the right director before he can shine.

However, "Deadpool" is not a drama movie. They don't need to show delicate and profound inner drama. The charm of the actors is more important than the emotional expression-

From this point of view, the choice of actors for different themes and types of films is indeed very different.

In this regard, Lu Qian's thinking is very clear.

From Renault to Li Jianan to Wei Dongmang, all of them are like this. The personal charm of the actors is the part that Lu Qian likes the most. He hopes that the actors can combine their charm with the roles, collide with chemical reactions, and then let the roles more vivid.

Ajia is played by Wei Dongmang.

This should be an interesting attempt.

The first thing you should understand is that Lu Qian is preparing to try the villain Aja.

Aja, what kind of character is he?

In most superhero movies, the motives of the villains are often very grand, such as destroying a company, such as destroying a city, or even destroying the earth, so the mission of superheroes is to save mankind, and the confrontation between justice and evil also rises to Whole new heights.

But "Deadpool" isn't, the film's contradictions are very personal—

Wade thinks Aja has disfigured himself, so he wants revenge.

It's that simple.

Not to save the earth, nor to save human beings, it's just a simple personal grievance.

But how exactly did Wade get into Aja's experimental program? What exactly are Aja's experiments for? What is the conspiracy behind it?

Wade didn't care at all.

Of course, is the villain Aja really that simple?

The answer is obviously no.

From the perspective of the whole world view, Ajia's experiment was aimed at mutants. He arrested mutants and tested their genes one by one.

On the one hand, Aja hopes to artificially breed more mutants to fight against the mutant team.

On the other hand, Aja also hopes to detect the weaknesses of mutants from the genetic sequence, and then destroy the mutant team.

Moreover, Aja is not a small organization fighting alone. Behind him, there is a larger organization supporting, and a larger conspiracy is brewing, which may even come from official support.

so-

As a result, Aja is also a member of the "Destroy the Earth Villain Team".

Second, the sight is just the tip of the iceberg of the conspiracy, Wade was accidentally involved in it, and the disfigurement is just a dominant side effect of the genetic mutation.

Thirdly, the story of "Deadpool" is only part of the "mutant team" universe.

In other words, can "Deadpool" describe the story in a grand and grand way?

Can.

But they chose not to.

The reason is very simple. Lion Pictures has no confidence. Not only has the budget been cut again and again, but also the entire overall plan has pushed "Deadpool" to the edge as much as possible, and did not rashly add Deadpool to the universe of the mutant team.

Look, the story of "Deadpool" is part of the whole conspiracy blueprint.

If the movie is successful, the sequel will be able to further unravel the conspiracy, and then step by step to merge with the main line of the mutant team movie.

If the movie fails, the conspiracy will end with Aja. When Aja dies, this branch line will be cut off and will not affect the main line of the mutant team.

The abacus of Lions Pictures was crackling.

But Lu Qian was not stupid either.

Why didn't Lu Qian protest and revise the script?

Because in Lu Qian's view, narrowing the narrative is a benefit.

Now the homogenization of the story frame structure of superheroes is too serious:

The origin story, as soon as it comes up, it will destroy the city and destroy the earth at every turn. After these ordinary people get superpowers overnight, they are obliged to come forward to save everyone, and maybe add their own family or lover as a motive, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com Then the image of a selfless, brave and stalwart hero has been established.

This is basically a copy and paste of a routine, and there is absolutely no room for the characters to extend their own personality and characteristics. It is too boring and boring to take it for granted.

Like Wade, a little selfish, a little simpler, but it seems more real.

However, the price of shrinking the pattern is that the villain becomes weaker, because he does not want to destroy the earth or human beings, and the conflict is not strong.

So, shaping Aja becomes a difficult problem.

In this regard, Lu Qian also has his own ideas.

First of all, Ajia's motives are also magnificent. To detect mutant human genes and transform ordinary people is actually to use human beings as guinea pigs for experiments.

In a way, Aja is a sociopath.

Here, if the story goes deeper and deeper, then we can explore the source of Ajia's personality, is it family, love or society?

Give the villain a space for the characters to extend, make their motives reasonable and solid, and the whole character stands up, and the story will look good.

It can even make the audience resonate with the villain, and even sympathize with it, then the movie will have a tragic color.

But "Deadpool" didn't plan to do this, so Lu Qian was going to hide all those motives and reasons and evolve them into part of his character, and the movie highlighted Aja's personal charm.

A vicious and flamboyant, rebellious and offbeat, cruel and arrogant charm, like... the most impressive clown ever.

In Lu Qian's time and space, Heath-Ledger's version of the clown is the reason why Lu Qian found Wei Dongmang.
