Yesterday, there was even a weird news that black fans made a star in someone’s old drama overnight in Douban .

In particular, his transformation from top to actors is also following him step by step:

And this time, it returned to such a high popularity.
promoter, is he the top star, the actor, or the drama itself?
Sir must find out in person.

Li Yifeng + Song Yi , handsome man and beautiful woman.

Then, the subject matter:
Undercover, drug-anti-, and even large-scale fire and revenge against gangsters.
This scale can be photographed in China?
Let’s look at the settings again:
Southeast Asia, Huacheng.
A former colonial city, Golden Triangle drug production place, gathering place.
understand.
This is the highlight of "Dark Night Walker"
For actors, it is not only a "hard battle".
For the subject matter, it may have found the foothold of the scale of Chinese drama.

The first thing that makes people shine is the rhythm of the story.
The opening is the storm
In 2013, Huacheng "Century Big Trade".
Huacheng and the Golden Triangle, the two major drug lords, traded 1,000 kilograms of No. 4 heroin.
People's hearts are rolling for a moment.
drug lords are looking forward to it, after all, their value will soar after the transaction.
The government police are on high alert, stopping transactions is a dead order, and arresting drug lords is a great opportunity.
and so on.
How do the police know there is a transaction?
Luo Xiang (played by Li Yifeng), the confidant of Huacheng drug lord Para. He is responsible for the shore response. His real identity is an undercover police officer.
With his help, the police arranged control in advance, and fully armed infiltrated early. After waiting for an order, all the people and stolen were captured.
plan is so perfect that even undercover himself sighs:
After today's end,
Everything is a new beginning
Haha, what do you think of?
action really went wrong, and it is not difficult to guess the reason.
lying in the middle, the bottom and the middle, the infernal path.
message was leaked, the operation failed, and the SWAT team was wiped out.
But what happens next makes the police feel like they are facing a great enemy.
How thorough was this intelligence leak?
not only has insight into your plan A, but also knows that you have plan B, and you have no choice but to leave it behind.
Luo Xiang escaped from death and was ready to go to the sniper point to remedy the entire operation.
Black policeman rushed to
bang.
Luo Xiang fell into the sea, his life and death were unknown.
The person who shot the gun also deliberately changed the police gun to cover up the police identity.
"Perfect Action" lost all the game.
also led to a complete reshuffle of the underground structure of Huacheng, constant revenge and killing of evil forces, and social turmoil.
Aftermath lasted for a full five years.
or above, completely unblocking the tension of the series background:
A drug lord is rampant, and the underworld overwhelms the evil city of Baidao, Huacheng.
A group of angry and humiliated police officers after the failure of the "Century Trading" operation.
and two seemingly forgotten undercover agents, one wants to protect himself and the other wants to take revenge.
The story is far from fully presented.
For example, can you imagine that this kind of thing happening in the mainland?
The drug lord stabbed the police to death.
is not over. After killing it, the body is made into bomb , leaving a few broken hands behind for subsequent reinforcements...
Is the police angry?
Angry, but so what if it is angry.
arrest people and tell the evidence, the law, and also take into account public opinion and worry about the insider...
Sir is of course not just excited about the scale.
but finally.
Domestic crime drama scale stands on the same starting line as overseas:
Justice side no longer "wins firmly".
and even, there is no longer a clear "three-eighth line" between good and evil. There is a saying that the settings of the series are very attractive. Unfortunately, the production level is a bit uneven. Static lighting, composition, and color adjustment are above the level. can be used when the screen "moves" chases the car, blasts, and moves... there should be all, but it looks a bit rough and old-fashioned. Some special effects can't even fans watch it. The scene of Para opening the cabin, and the scene of the reversal should have shocked the audience. The result is - there is a huge special effect model in front of you. The scene of Luo Xiang being shot down by a gun should have been an iconic shot that unravels the suspense of the whole drama. The result is - the glass is broken, and the screen is full of plastic. The above problems will not cause any damage to the muscles and bones. However, Sir still hopes that as a top Chinese drama, the production can improve the industrial level so as not to let down a work with solid creation. pair, "Dark Night Walker" has flaws and more solid aspects. character. The main line begins with him The police chief of the serious crime team played by Feng Delun, Liao Yongjia. Liao Yongjia is like a microcosm of all the Huacheng police at this time: He has experienced the painful failure and the sacrifice of his comrades five years ago, and he has become extremely paranoid and radical. colleagues were honored with a glorious title: madman. A kind of questioning as the characters are distorted to the extreme, and then rebounds to the audience: The crazy policeman, the cruel drug lord. Who is more dangerous? Don't rush to answer. Five years later, Liao Yongjia encountered a taxi driver named Chen Mo while tracking drugs. Coincidentally, this person looks like Luo Xiang (the "Li Yifeng" just now) . Liao Yongjia had a sudden inspiration: This person has motivation (the child has to pay for the surgery due to serious illness), and also has "appearance" (looking like a missing drug dealer). is the only one. Come and be my informant and save Huacheng! Without saying much, I am flirting with it. One-hand carrot - Agree, I will give you the surgery fee. One-hand stick - I don't agree, I'll catch you. Plan is crazier than before: Chen Mo pretended to be Luo Xiang and returned to Huacheng after five years. He will meet the good brother who sold drugs together back then. ? ? ? Isn’t this a death sentence? That's right, Liao Yongjia's madness is not only reflected in his ruthlessness towards drug lords. is used to good people and people can do their best. is not over yet. When Chen Mo was rescued in the sixth episode, he shot and killed two drug dealers. His first reaction afterwards was not to report or call an ambulance, but to ask for help from his subordinates. Dig a hole, bury the body, wash the car, trailer... cover up death. No one can stand it: doesn’t report to the bureau? Just pretend nothing happened? Police Officer Liao next said that it is a breakthrough in the scale of "Dark Night Walker": In a place like Huacheng 2
What is the point of killing two drug offenders
or even.
Even if the person who died is not a drug offender, it doesn’t matter.
Because, after suffering, Officer Liao finally realized the "rules" of Huacheng:
Drug offenders do not follow the rules.
Why do I let me say
Rules are dead, people are alive
To defeat drug offenders, they must become more dangerous than drug offenders.
What he pursues is not justice, but victory, and victory can only lead to justice.
is not the only one.
Most of the characters in the play
Not only that they are pursuing justice.
, rather, it is to tempt the moral bottom line of justice in struggle.
Under Liao Yongjia, the black policeman who shot Luo Xiang that year, Yu Shenghai ( Gong Haibin ).
Why did he become a black policeman?
When I first entered the industry, my seniors taught by example:
We will do it later
Obediently acted as
Do not take it too seriously
Since being a policeman is "taking the show", then being a drug lord is not a more decent "looking"?
Don’t think that Yu Shenghai is the villain.
Like when he saw a gun and drug dealer in front, he hesitated and couldn't bear it.
Therefore, it has also been "recommended" by the boss
Your life and your future.
is worth more than the life of a drug dealer.
One sells his colleagues for money, and the other puts his lives on the scale, distinguishing between high and low.
Which is better and worse?
You should understand this when you see it:
Huacheng is not a fictional coordinate.
, but after blurring good and evil, black and white, good and bad, one side is closer to the stage of reality.

last.
Sir wants to talk about Li Yifeng alone, not because of his "traffic".
is some kind of "qualitative change" that he has caused by the drama.
In one sentence summary:
"Dark Night Walker" may be the "stage" he has faced with the most complex structure and the most hierarchical "stage" he has ever faced, a tough battle belonging to "actor Li Yifeng".
The second episode of this drama reveals the major suspense in itself:
Are Chen Mo and Luo Xiang, who look similar, the same person?
plot, yes.
on the performance, not.
Li Yifeng will play more than two roles.
One premise:
After the Huacheng Century Transaction Case, Luo Xiang reached a deal with the senior police force:
changed his appearance, found out the truth, and entered another five years of lurking, then surfaced as Chen Mo and joined Liao Yongjia's plan.
The current situation is much more dangerous
He wants to mediate among those who know, don’t know, and half know, don’t know, and half of his identity, and don’t show his strength.
includes black policeman Yu Shenghai, Liao Yongjia, his old drug trafficking partner, as well as his old lover, former policeman Su Qingzhu (played by Song Yi), etc. How difficult is
?
In front of his opponent, he wants to play the cruel and ruthless "Brother Xiang" .
The confidant of Huacheng drug lord, who always breaks his legs.
ruthless, capable of fighting, and decisive in dealing with things.
In front of his boss, he wants to perform in the taxi driver Chen Mo.
unknown for five years, and now under the eyes of the madman Liao Yongjia and the traitor Yu Shenghai, he is an innocent informant who was arrested for his strong man.
Cowardly, innocent, timid and afraid of things.
After the mission is released, he will play Luo Xiang, whom Chen Mo has played through training.
Under Liao Yongjia's monitoring, in front of the drug dealer.
shows rusty, nervousness, dullness, and timidity that is strongly supported by speaking.
He can't be too "into the show".
After all, undercover must adapt to the situation in order to barely save the life of the dog in desperation.
Not to mention facing those suspicious and domineering presidents.
"dead" and came back to life after five years?
Haha, it’s a police and gangster movie!
The drug lords' test methods are much more direct: torture, torture, and use methods...
is Brother Xiang, and if you can't hold on to you, you are Erwuzi. I hate Erwuzi the most in my life!
Such difficulty, Sir must first recognize Li Yifeng's courage
One person plays multiple roles, and it can certainly be blown up after completing it.
can expose a flaw and show fear every time you change your face.
The character puts higher requirements for Li Yifeng: How to switch the accurate character status in a short time?
Sir actually didn't believe in Li Yifeng at the beginning, even though he had several works that had transformed well.
But the "classic" of the early years is still unforgettable.
(Don't worry, there is no picture here)
At that time, Li Yifeng was basically dragged forward by the character.
is weak, all of which are ordinary.
Of course, "good", or "progress", also has something in common.
Review of Li Yifeng's shining characters—
"Secret and Great" Gu Yaodong.
A little silly and sweet little policeman, an honest worker working.
"Animal World" Zheng Kaisi.
At that time, many people believed that Li Yifeng's transformation was a breakthrough in his style, especially the performance of a "clown Li Yifeng" that was completely opposite to his past impression.
But Sir thinks these are just "plus points".
What really allows the audience to see Li Yifeng's acting potential is the "little gambler" who frequently shows anger, struggle and greed in desperate situations.
These flashes are blessed by works, and are also derived from Li Yifeng's determination to transform at that time.
stayed in the crew for eight months, "grinding";
post-production editing follows the director, "starting".
Return to "Dark Night Walker". The "qualitative change" mentioned before by
Sir refers to the fact that Li Yifeng has gradually found the "anchor point" on the road of actors.
i.e., small person.
Compared to the "big male god" who looks domineering on the outside and is vacuumed on the inside, the small characters have desires, flaws, and the characters are more vivid, and the actors also need to invest more of their "self".
Whether it is Luo Xiang or Chen Mo, the character background is more complicated than before, let alone play the two at the same time.
How is Li Yifeng performing this time?
is not false, Sir actually analyzes it through several scenes.
Drug Lord Testing Bureau.
The drug lord's subordinates complained to him and advised him to take the blame together.
The first layer is a doubt:
Is this my brother and I have the heart to do? Or are you trying me here?
Eyes are suspicious, blink and think quickly, no problem.
But.
is too "stable"
Even if you are a former boss, your calmness and calmness will also weaken the thickness of the character's expression.
You should know that there is a gun from a drug lord in front of you and a police surveillance behind you.
Li Yifeng showed "On the outside is Luo Xiang's confidence" , but ignored "On the inside is Chen Mo's fear" .
play pig and eat tiger games.
In front of two old fried dough sticks, they play a market informant, because they are pitted every time and can only output them to the air.
The difficulty is how to pour out the bitterness in your heart, pour it naturally, not "explode", and not deliberately.
Fortunately, Li Yifeng was not in a hurry.
chuckled first to show disdain.
"explosion" gradually: the face wrinkled into a ball, the fingers twisted into twists... After venting, he turned into a "little white rabbit" in seconds, pretending to be weak and sympathetic.
This emotional ups and downs are not "exaggerated".
You should know that not long ago, he was just pointed at a gun by a drug lord, but when he came back, he was criticized by his companions for disregarding his personal safety. As an ordinary person, he should be afraid one after another, angry again, and finally he felt helpless.
Emotional confession.
Li Yifeng, who has acted in idol dramas for many years, should be his best emotional drama.
However, this time I used a different method.
The drama repeatedly hinted that Liao Yongjia and Yu Shenghai both suspected Chen Mo's identity, and later arranged a hero to save the beauty scene, allowing Su Qingzhu to guess Chen Mo's true identity.
Luo Xiang, who took off his disguise, is still very charming.
Faceful muscles try hard to keep them loose, raise eyebrows and smile, and pretend to be relaxed in their hands.
You can look at your eyes
The eyes are red, and once the eyes meet, they will immediately avoid them, wandering and flashing.
This is indeed a kind of "design".
Don’t underestimate the “design”.
"design" that fits characters and emotions, and presents the "design" accurately, is an advanced performance class that is higher than "reaction".
More importantly, there is no shortcut to "design" of .
This is Li Yifeng's choice
Big people can be supported by packaging rendering.
What about the little person?
can only be polished, practiced, and echo a certain part of the real self with the role through time precipitation.
If you want to talk about talent, Li Yifeng is not outstanding. His long-term idol character has made him miss the golden period of exploring his acting talent.
Compared to the time when he was ignorant and repulsive, it can be seen that he has gradually become clearer with another larger "anchor point":
slow.
If acting is too subjective, Sir will bring up a few "objective" data:
In 2018, when he was determined to transform, within 4 years after "Animal World" was released.
Li Yifeng only handed over series works , one of which has not been broadcast, and starred in the movie (" Revolutionary ").
Comparing domestic entertainment colleagues and comparing the rhythm of Li Yifeng's four or five movies a year.
is obviously in a "speed down" state at the moment.
Idol transformation into an actor is not difficult.
If you have traffic, you will have opportunities. Many people even claim to transform and go back as they turn.
Sacrifice the opportunity in front of you and the potentially easier way to transform in the future. It is a difficult thing.
Who can make money while lying down?
This may be the meaning of "Dark Night Walker" to Li Yifeng: the danger of
The "comfort zone" is not that it is difficult to cross.
more about you stepping out and facing a completely exposed vacuum, you can't help but miss its "comfort".
It is precisely because Li Yifeng chose to stay outside his comfort zone.
He only "gets" Luo Xiang and Chen Mo, and the performance that has been convinced so far, as well as the audience's higher requirements and expectations for him in the future.
In the increasingly fast-food domestic entertainment, Sir sincerely hopes to see more thoughtful "slow" , and calm "careful ".
Trade transformation into an actor is dangerous and difficult.
But it is even more correct.
Sir is now looking forward to today when the traffic bubble fades and the film and television fanaticism is gradually cooling down.
He can give himself a "proof" through his work:
This is a worthwhile thing.
