Character evaluation

Deng Yancheng has made a lot of popular TV movies, but the iconic "heavy taste" has disappeared, and his personal style is not as obvious as before. As for the transformation of his own directing style, Deng Yancheng thought that the so-called "abnormal" and "heavy taste" were just labels put on by others. When he first co directed "doctor lamb" with Li Xiuxian, he was very successful. Everyone thought that Deng Yancheng could make such films, so he asked you to make many films with similar styles, such as "weak killing" and "black prison heartbroken song of raw pork" wait. Deng yanchengyan: in fact, I can shoot anything. I've also shot the TV series "JingWuMen" (starring Donnie Yen) and the comedy "the battle of the ancient women". I don't like any of them. I don't think it's different from making movies before. I have the same idea. I have a sense of what I shoot, and I know where to laugh It's time to be nervous.

In Deng Yancheng's early films, Zheng Zeshi and Ren Dahua can always be seen. Among them, Ren Dahua is "praised" by him as the "abnormal" of the two major Hong Kong Film screens juxtaposed with Huang Qiusheng. However, in recent years, Ren Dahua's role has become less and less, and replaced by the more popular image of the underworld boss. Deng Yancheng has also shot various types of films and TV dramas, and the film is more popular It's hard to see such distinctive characters. As for actors, Deng Yancheng admits that he doesn't rely on them. He enjoys the pleasure of cooperating with different actors: at each stage, the actors are different, and everyone has his own advantages. On the contrary, new people are more malleable. You can't always cooperate with an actor, and then let him play a role, which is limited to him and himself.

As the most crime themed TV movie, pursuit of the murderer in the line of fire is back to Deng Yancheng's best field. However, he says that it still feels very different when shooting: "weak killing" is adapted from real events. We have done a lot of investigation to study the real psychology of the criminals. So is "black rat". Ren Dahua's acting as a pervert is so lifelike that he has made great efforts to study Yes, it's different. He has a very dramatic script. Although it's about crime, there's no real abnormality in it, so the feeling of the two films is quite different.
