Reveal the secret! The Andy Lau in Liu Yasse’s eyes is actually a "love brain"?


1905 movie network feature The film stars,,, and tells the story of the police’s best efforts to bring drug dealers to justice. After the film was released, audiences commented that "Lin Jinan is the worst and most ruthless of the more than 200 characters played by Andy Lau," but at the same time, there were also comments that "the emotional scenes between Andy Lau and Yasser Lau are a touch of warmth in the film." This episode also invited the actor Yasser Lau, who plays Vivian in "Stealth", to chat about the film.


Subvert! "Stealth" characters play well


This time, Lin Jinan swept away Andy Lau’s personable and temperamental big-screen image, and made a breakthrough as an elusive mysterious lawyer and a ruthless drug lord.


In addition to "ruthless", Lin Zhenan is also an uncompromising "love brain", and there is a "white moonlight" in his heart – Vivian. In the words of Liu Yasse, the most ruthless scene of Andy Lau in "Stealth" is "loving Vivian fiercely".


If Lin Zhuan An was a ruthless and affectionate complex character, Vivian was an independent and clingy girl. In front of outsiders, Vivian was ruthless and did not have any mood swings, but in front of Lin Zhuan An, she was carefully protected, and every breath and breath floated with Lin Zhuan An. In the words of Liu Yasse himself, "Lin Zhuan An is Vivian’s reassurance."


This pair of "White Moonlight" and "Peace of Mind" also made countless audiences in the theater call "hit" "rare in Hong Kong movies, desperate cp!" But in addition to cheering, Vivian’s role setting could not escape the audience’s "symbolic women" doubt.


In Hong Kong films, traditional female characters are often used as supporting roles, as a driving force for the integrity of the protagonist’s character setting and the sharp turn of the plot, but Vivian is not a soulless supporting role in "Stealth", but there are many details that need to be carefully savored.


Liu Yasse summed up Vivian’s action line and underlying motivation in one sentence, that is, "When you are staring at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you". Vivian and Lin Zhuan An have both encountered unfair fate. When they were not favored by fate, but were tricked, their souls were entangled uncontrollably, and they embarked on a wrong step and a wrong step in life.


The most obvious part of Vivian’s character temperament was the "bottleneck after the volcano eruption". Most of the time in the film, she didn’t have complicated emotions or too many words, but when she was with Lin Zhuan An, she would have emotional ups and downs. She was afraid that it would cause extra trouble, affect Lin Zhuan An’s actions, and cause trouble for her loved ones. But she also had her own considerations, and she silently paid for the two of them to go on the road smoothly in the future.


It can be said that the role of Vivian is a very valuable female image in Hong Kong films in recent years. She is intelligent, calm, and forbearing, shining with the brilliance of women everywhere.


Grow up! Liu Yashe’s on set to "steal" Andy


Playing a role is a job, and it is also the integrity of a life.


In recent years, Liu Yasse has contributed a number of masterpieces on the screen, whether it is Liu Liu, who is independent and sober, or Vivian, who is calm and intelligent in "Stealth", which has left a deep impression on the audience.


Talking about the classic roles he played in the past, Yasser believes that each role is very important to him, and they walk by like a marquee in their hearts. Every work and every character’s life is a course he has chosen, and there is no way to rank or compare them.


Talking about the experience of filming "Stealth", she wants to thank Andy Lau the most, and believes that new actors should learn from Andy, respect the opinions of others, shoot with dedication, time concept, and energy. In addition to thinking about the role, they should also start from the perspective of the film and achieve each other.


Looking forward to it! The golden age of Hong Kong cinema has never left


At the same time, this year is also a year of high-quality explosion of police and bandit genres in Hong Kong, China. Good films such as "Burst Point" and "Anti-Drug 3: Man in the End of the World" brought audiences a long-lost feeling of pleasure. "Stealth", as a blockbuster film at the end of the year, also has irreplaceable highlights. In addition to the key elements familiar to the audience such as "cat and mouse games" and "action fighting", "Stealth" uses audio-visual language to describe a multi-faceted world of black and white fusion and good and evil changing minds.


For example, Lin Jinan, played by Andy Lau, wears an ordinary suit in the early part of the film, as if living an ordinary life. However, after the white suit was dyed in blood at the wedding scene, he began to blacken, and the color of the clothes became darker and darker. The turtleneck sweater wrapped the body tighter and tighter, and the mysterious depth gushed out.


If you want to ask who the character who most echoes the title of "Stealth" in the whole film is, there is no doubt that Lin Jiadong plays Xiu Hao. As an undercover agent, Xiu Hao has been in stealth for more than ten years, and his mystery even makes it difficult for the audience to determine whether he is black or white during the viewing.


In addition to echoing the title of the film, the quirkiness of Xiu Hao’s character also highlights the theme of "Stealth". The multifaceted and complex nature of human nature is difficult to distinguish clearly, and the boundaries between right and wrong are often blurred.


For this type of character that he had not been exposed to for a long time, Lin Jiadong often thought about how to play a veteran undercover agent’s struggle between ruthlessness and affection, with brothers on one side, work on the other, and family in the middle. Every step of the decision affects the direction of the story. In the end, what decision Xiu Hao will make is left to the audience to explore in person.

In Liu Yasse’s opinion, Hong Kong films have their own unique texture and spirit, and everyone has always had a feeling for Hong Kong films. With the development of information and the closer cultural connection, many ideas of Hong Kong and mainland filmmakers can be connected in a timely manner. She also hopes that Hong Kong and mainland filmmakers can innovate together in the future and use more empathetic stories to face the audience sincerely.
