The new film "Stealth" starring Andy Lau, Gordon Lam, Eddie Peng, Liu Yase, etc. is currently in theaters. Superintendent Fang Xing of the Internet Investigation Division played by Peng Yuyan is the mainstay of the three generations of police. He can attack the Internet online with "intelligence" and with "force" With fierce offline combat, he can be called the "all-around ace" of the police force.
Even so, when faced with the villain boss Lin Zhenan, played by the cautious and law-savvy Andy Lau, the police repeatedly failed and were scorned and provoked. The undercover agent sent by Fang Xing was brutally killed by Lin Zhenan. It also made Fang Xing begin to re-examine his credo of "regardless of anything before achieving the goal" in handling cases. The scene in which Superintendent Fang, who became even more determined after bidding farewell to his comrades, leading three generations of policemen to bite the drug lord, was shocking and touching.
Peng Yuyan, who has played a policeman in many movies, joked that compared to "Chill" and "Operation Mekong", the young and promising policeman Fang Xing played this time is more "behaved".
Before, Peng Yuyan and Andy Lau had participated in two movies together, but in fact, it was in "Stealth" that they finally had a formal opposite role. "He is a very hands-on person. He will guide me on how to do the moves on the scene. I have You can learn a lot of things from him."
"I want to play a different policeman"
Peng Yuyan did not make a movie for more than a year after filming "Dogs". When he received the script of "Stealth", he saw the film director Kwan Chi-yao has worked with him in "Chilling", and the leading actors Andy Lau, Gordon Lam, and Simon Yam are also seniors he is very familiar with.
In his opinion, "Stealth" is a pure Hong Kong police film. The battle of wits and courage to chase drug dealers on the Internet can make the audience understand the dangers of drugs. At the same time, the film also reflects the different working methods and inheritance of three generations of police officers. , For example, young police officers have long been accustomed to using tablet computers when doing things, while senior police officers may still write reports by hand.
"Senior police officers, Mesozoic police officers, and young police officers, the collision, iteration and inheritance of each other's ideas. I think this is actually a phenomenon that exists in every industry. For example, as actors, we also have two generations in the same crew. , three generations, senior actors and Mesozoic or younger newcomers, then how we cooperate or inherit is a question that needs to be considered."
Before, Peng Yuyan played a policeman in "Cold War", but he was actually a villain, " The anti-drug undercover agent played in "Operation Mekong" has many different images, and he is not the policeman that everyone knows in the conventional sense. This time in "Stealth", he has a more orthodox, young and promising image. He and Andy Lau play the villain And the undercover agent played by Lin Jiadong is in three different zones, black, white and gray.
What attracts Peng Yuyan to Fang Xing is that this character has a process of slowly growing and changing, and he can act more comfortably.
"Because he is a policeman in a more conventional sense, more confident and ambitious. He thinks that I can do anything, as long as I decide to do it. He will think that the old-school way of handling cases should be changed. In the future, we young people Just come, but later in the process he found that he still had a lot to learn, especially after the sacrifice of his companions, including the departure of his own brother, which also hit him hard."
When Andy Lau, the film producer, invited Peng Yuyan, he always He told him, "Just stay the way you are." Peng Yuyan, who loves fitness, has always maintained a professional figure, but he felt that he needed to be stronger, so he added a lot of weight training and also shaved his head. An inch head makes it more clean and neat.
"This time I want to play a different policeman. Brother Andy thinks that my appearance and feeling are particularly suitable for showing what it is like for people of this age to be a policeman, rather than just acting. I think this The idea is right. A real policeman cannot always be like in the movie. He is also a normal person and has a life-oriented side. It is just because his profession must face the public and catch criminals. These things are His profession, he had to do."
"It's very valuable that Hua Tsai is willing to communicate and share"
Before that, Peng Yuyan and Andy Lau had both participated in the movies "Cold War" and "The Great Wall", but in fact "Stealth" was the first real in-depth cooperation between the two. This is the first time I have a real rival scene.
Peng Yuyan revealed that as a producer and starring Andy Lau, he would stay on the set when he did not have a role. Sometimes he would adjust the script, ask the actors what they thought, and give some suggestions.
"He gave I feel that he knew very well what he wanted to shoot, and then had very active and close communication with the director. For example, he thinks that my character needs to be more violent and angry, so that the character's personality changes later will be more obvious. Then I think what he said makes sense, so I will try to do it. "
In Peng Yuyan's eyes, Andy Lau is a very diverse actor, "He seems to be able to do anything. He has filmed more than a hundred movies and has been in the industry for forty years, so he is very experienced. "
Just like the collision between policemen of different generations at work in "Stealth", the seniors are very experienced, and the juniors may have their own new ideas. Peng Yuyan learned the acting experience of his seniors, which became his harvest. .
“Brother Hua Tsai is willing to exchange and share all his stuff. I think this is very precious and worth learning. Sometimes it is difficult for actors to really communicate with each other, because I have my own way of doing things, and he has his own way of doing things, but Andy is willing to share his way of doing things. If I am willing to listen, I will Will learn. Acting in their way may be more suitable for this role, because I can only think of what I think, then they may be looking at the problem from a higher perspective, and their suggestions can also broaden my imagination of myself, so I Everyone will try to see if I can be what they want me to be, or whether I can merge with what I want. But there may be times when I feel that I still have to be myself, and he fully supports that. "
During the filming of "Stealth", there was a lot of room for discussion and adjustment in the actors' performances. This allowed Peng Yuyan to open up more about himself and see his different looks. He has always hoped that the audience can see himself on the big screen. He has presented different images. For example, in the previous movie "Once Upon a Time in the Tropics", he played a guilty air-conditioning master. In the upcoming new movie "Dog Squad", he is a member of a folk dog-fighting team who is gradually awakened to love. “I hope to present different things, and hope that the audience will not find it too abrupt, and I am constantly trying. "
