Pei Donglai was in pain and ferocious
Deng Chao’s performance was burned to death
Pei Donglai’s date with Jing’er was deleted
As the only Chinese film shortlisted for the main competition unit of this year’s Venice Film Festival and highly praised, on September 29, the film co-starring Andy Lau, Deng Chao, Li Bingbing, Carina Lau, and Leung Ka Fai landed in mainland cinemas to seize the National Day schedule. From October 8, Taiwan will also welcome the film’s full release. The grand and mysterious scenes in the film, interlocking suspense, tense and exciting fights, reveal Xu Hark’s classic style everywhere, and the mainland actor Deng Chao joined the film, and he had to love the director Xu Hark for the first time. Not only was the shape created by Xu Hark, but the role in the film was also close to the male number one Andy Lau, and the detective trio composed of Di Renjie and Jing’er. The literary and martial arts are quite outstanding, and they are the most distinctive among the already strange and stunning shapes, and are expected to become a classic character in Xu Hark’s works. After the film was released, Deng Chao’s white-haired Pei Donglai did gain a lot of praise, and netizens discussed Deng Chao’s acting skills, calling it the biggest highlight in the film. And Deng Chao was interviewed to decipher Pei Donglai’s three most important.
The most beloved is added
Pei Donglai was a "little follower" in the original script. When Deng Chao talked about this thin character, he was very emotional that he and Director Tsui Hark worked together to make this character richer and richer, so that the audience could see Pei Donglai now. "He originally followed Di Renjie’s little follower, and there weren’t many scenes, so when I started making the look, I was also very puzzled, why did such a character have to be made white. But slowly, I understood Director Tsui Hark’s idea and slowly got to know this character. I really appreciate Director Tsui Hark’s ideas for this character later, giving Pei Donglai a lot of equipment and a lot of meaning, so that this character can be so three-dimensional." But in fact, Deng Chao is such a person who constantly pursues challenges and innovations in his performances. Everyone who has worked with him knows that he shoots on the spot. Deng Chao often has the 101st performance method after 100 performances, and he will constantly think about making his performances more choices for the director. Therefore, in "Di Renjie’s Heavenly Empire", his wonderful performance was respected and recognized. After the film ended, Director Tsui Hark asked Deng Chao to shoot a three-day drama alone, adding scenes for him, and because he especially appreciated Deng Chao’s martial arts performance, he filmed a lot of fighting parts. "Now in the movie, in a fight between the ghost market and the fake imperial master, I flew to the fake imperial master and asked him, ‘Aren’t you going to be a doppelganger? "Divide", this paragraph was also added during the re-shoot. There were no lines at that time. I said can I add such a sentence? Director Tsui Hark said yes. So now there is such a presentation. I think this line not only makes the scene with the sound of weapons hitting a little bit of a live reaction, but also highlights that Pei Donglai is really ruthless and very eager to kill the enemy. "
The most helpless feelings are deleted
In "Di Renjie’s Heavenly Empire", many viewers said after watching that the emotional scenes of several main characters were entangled and chaotic, Di Renjie and Empress Wu, Empress Wu and Jing’er, Di Renjie and Shatuo, Di Renjie and Pei Donglai, Pei Donglai and Jing’er… The intertwining was complicated and dazzling. Among them, in addition to the passionate scene between Di Renjie and Jing’er, Pei Donglai’s sacrifice to save Jing’er also seemed to tell the audience that Pei Donglai was interested in Jing’er. However, because Pei Donglai was dedicated to handling the case, he was framed and sacrificed early, which made the relationship between the two die without any trouble. But Deng Chao said, "This paragraph has been deleted. In fact, Pei Donglai and Jing’er have a relationship. During the filming, when Wu Zetian gave up Di Renjie and didn’t let him handle the case, Empress Wu actually handed the case to Pei Donglai. There was a scene where Pei Donglai and Jing’er led the horse on a date one night. That scene was quite interesting. I remember that the horse we led was quite ambiguous. At that time, Pei Donglai confessed to Jing’er. This scene was deleted, and later I also asked the master, and the director said, ‘Sometimes there are things that happen, and there is no need to say it.’ I think it’s quite right. " Although Pei Donglai did not have too many emotional scenes in the film, his kind of affection for Di Renjie and his care for Jing’er already made people feel the strong emotion of this character, which echoed the dreaded albino shape. "His coldness, his darkness, his murderous aura is very heavy, the sense of distance will not hinder his warmth, and there is also a slight cuteness." Deng Chao talked about Pei Donglai, obviously loving the character he created very much.
The most expensive special effects are burned to death
Even though Pei Donglai was a ruthless character in the film with high martial arts skills, the ending of Pei Donglai was extremely sighing. After finding the clue to the breakthrough in the case, he was plotted by the enemy, encountered misfortune, and was burned to death in front of Di Renjie. This plot makes people strongly feel that Pei Donglai does not give up on the truth, especially the hint to Di Renjie when his body is almost gone, which not only makes people cry, but Pei Donglai’s death makes Di Renjie’s face even more lonely. "The scene of Pei Donglai being burned to death was actually the kind of sympathy between men, that kind of manly and strong spirit. I think Pei Donglai is a hero." Watching the movie, attentive viewers would find that Pei Donglai’s death was different from the deaths of the two adults in front of them. The scene of Pei Donglai being burned to death was more detailed, and the last cry was even more heartbreaking and very sad. Talking about this scene, Deng Chao smiled and said, "It was very difficult, it was difficult during the performance, and it was difficult during the dubbing. Fortunately, they told me later that the special effects of your burnt to death were the most expensive, and the effect was very detailed. It turned out that I had the’most expensive ‘role (laughs) " Dubbing this scene was also an unforgettable scene for Deng Chao, "because what is expressed in the film is burning out of the body, what does it feel like to burn out of the body? This is definitely different from how we usually get burned and burned. How to shout out this kind of pain? At that time, I really communicated with Chen Guofu for a long time, and later he joked that you can just shout with a voice that is not a human voice. After dubbing, I really can’t shout a human voice, they heard outside the recording studio that it feels good. "Deng Chao, who is dedicated and serious about the performance, will not let go of any details, even if a dubbing, he is so careful, which shows that he is responsible for the performance, which is why his step-by-step road to the big screen is so solid. Even such a cold and murderous person will make the audience feel pity. It is difficult to distinguish between people in the film, but Pei Donglai is just a victim who died before his birth. Deng Chao’s big-screen performance can be described as good, with a gorgeous turn and a powerful transformation. It is also a creative boutique inspired by Director Tsui Hark.
