The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 2268: Familiar face

The hustle and bustle of discussions made the space of the whole room surging with warmth. The harsh winter of the British Isles seemed to be temporarily forgotten outside the window. Those smiles, those eyes, and those discussions were slowly rolling and surging. It seems to be dancing on the surface of the skin.

Wen-Jiang is standing next to Max and Forest, listening to their conversation, interjecting from time to time, expressing his views and making sure that he will not be excluded from the conversation. Although a little bit jerky, he is not out of place. , The overall atmosphere is pretty good.

Of course not because he couldn't adjust to the atmosphere. Since entering the industry in 1986, he has also been in the film industry for nearly two decades. He started as an actor, and then changed his job as a director in 1994 to shoot his first work, "Sunny Days." The world film industry has taken a place.

Although Wen-Jiang has also achieved many impressive achievements as an actor; but it is the directorship that really opened him up in the film industry. In 1994, the film "Sunny Day" was nominated for the Venice Film Festival, and made the actor Yu-Xia the youngest Venetian actor in history. In 2000, he landed in Cannes with "Ghost/Zi/Come/Now". Festival, won the award of the jury, and then went to Venice in 2007 for "The Sun Also Rises".

Just this year, in the following February, he will also take "One Step Away" to the Berlin Film Festival, the main competition unit.

In short, Wen-Jiang frequently travels around the world, and his overseas reputation is very good. Every time he goes to the film festival, he can always make a lot of friends. English communication is not a problem at all—in fact, he doesn’t even have an accent. It is so obvious in imagination, there is no reason to become a social obstacle.

At this moment, Wen Jiang seems to be a little absent-minded, and the real reason for his absence is that something else is on his mind.

In addition to choosing Garys Edwards as the director and Felicity Jones as the heroine, Catherine Kennedy is also committed to making Rogue One more diversified. Forest Whitaker is black. Z-Amed's ancestry is from the Middle East, Max Mickelson is a Nordic. In addition, she also selected two actors from China, hoping to show the rich and diverse culture of the entire space back.

Just like choosing Felicity as the heroine, the diverse setting can win more resonance among young audiences-it is no longer the era when white audiences dominated the absolute mainstream 20 years ago; at the same time, the overseas market Expansion and the need for richer elements.

More importantly, Katherine Kennedy hopes that the "Star Wars series" can knock on the door of the China market. Since Lanli has been chosen, why not give full play to Lanli's unparalleled appeal in the China market? Compared with the Marvel series, the "Star Wars series" has a weak mass base in the China market. Catherine has no way to let "The Force Awakens" adapt to the China market. Then, as a rumored "Rogue One" becomes the most Best choice.

Or in other words, the white mouse.

Thus, Wen Jiang and Donnie-Yen (Zhen/Zi/Dan) became the final candidates. The two actors can stand out from the fierce competition, on the one hand, the agent’s public relations ability, on the other hand, their own Chinese appeal, in addition, their own ability is also an important reason.

Wen-Jiang and Tony-Zhen joined "Rogue One" for slightly different reasons, but they also have similarities. Firstly, participating in Hollywood works is indeed a rare opportunity; secondly, the "Star Wars series" is for their generation. In other words, it also has an enlightenment effect; thirdly, it may be able to open up the situation for the cause.

Perhaps Tony Zhen, as an action actor, pays more attention to the third point; and Wen Jiang, as a director, puts more emphasis on the first point, hoping to learn from the most mature and high-end film production industry in the world. Become the nutrient and fertilizer for my next work.

Regardless of the former or the latter, it is very important to have a good relationship with the crew members, so Lan Li has become an unavoidable link.

How should he get along with Lan Li?

This is what Wen Jiang is thinking about now.

If it is Robert Downey Jr., then Wen Jiang would not be troubled at all, because Robert Jr. has no special feelings for the Chinese market. The Marvel series has created so many good results at the film box office level, and Robert Jr. has never been. He arrived in China in person to start a promotion. Wen Jiang only needs to treat Robert Jr. as another ordinary co-actor. A pure working relationship is enough. As for Robert Jr.’s influence in Hollywood and Robert Jr’s understanding of movies, he Will not care.

But this is Lan Li.

Lan Li who speaks fluent Chinese, Lan Li who visited the magic capital twice before and after, Lan Li who has a special affection for China-then things are different.

The problem lies in the fact that there are countless people who want to get to know and get close to Lan Li. Wen Jiang does not want to be regarded as a "bounty hunter" for profit. This also means that scale and proportion are very important. If you don't pay attention, things may be different: he has heard the rumors about Chris Wu.

His thoughts were so complicated that there was a feeling of worrying about gains and losses, which made Wen Jiang very irritable. He is such a proud character that he could not accept his hesitation and wavering at all. He was even a little irritable, "Just Give up," this thought came to mind.

Out of the line of sight, you could see Tony Zhen taking the initiative and walking in the direction of Lan Li. Wen Jiang became more irritable, and simply turned his head and stared at Forest, not seeing is clear—anyway. It would be embarrassing to say hello in the present state.

"Anyway, he chose the magic capital for both visits, not the imperial capital. It seems that he likes the southern culture. I guess he can't talk to me. It's unnecessary."

With a sharp knife, Wen Jiang made up his mind and didn't divert his attention anymore. The chat with Forest and Max became apparently active. The troubles left behind, the mood eased again, and his smile reappeared. The corners of the mouth are closed.

"...I totally agree that all the works so far in this year’s awards season are still the most comfortable performance of Lan Li. The advancement and transformation of the whole level is very good. I even watched the movie four times over and over again, just to study Lan Li’s performance. . But what I personally like the most is not the last scene, but the three scenes where he gets along with that little girlfriend. The eyes are handled very well!"

Max is not stingy with his words of praise. Even if Lanly was not present, he conveyed his sighs sincerely.

Forrest, who was the first to bring up such a topic, showed a smile, "More importantly, his focus and devotion. To be honest, I haven't seen such a young man who loves acting for a long, long time. So, my agent at the time. Say, how about it, are you interested in cooperating with Lan Li for a work? I just nodded and agreed without even asking about the subject matter and character."

"Me too!" Max's eyes immediately brightened: he even participated in the audition for this role, of course, not in the open audition style, but in the internal interview style.

"Look, we are really rude. Have you said hello to Lan Li?" Max noticed Wen Jiang who was silent at this time and asked actively.

Wen-Jiang's smile was slightly jerky, "No...no no, not yet."

"Oh, then please be sure to let me introduce you." Forest took over the topic enthusiastically, "Trust me, Lanly's wit and humor can definitely make you fall in love." Then he smiled at Max. "So he can always win the hearts of women, and we can't even get jealous."

The two exchanged glances, and both laughed.

Forest and Max have already taken steps in the direction of Lan Li, Wen-Jiang is slightly behind, standing still and sighing, but after all, there is no mother-in-law, so they followed in stride and saw the initiative at a glance. Lan Li, who turned around, was caught off guard and changed his eyes.

"grass."

Wen-Jiang cursed from the bottom of his heart: The two elders looked at each other, where is this and where?

But shortly after, Lan Li showed a polite smile and gestured lightly with his jaw, and the slightly unexpected sight touch became a matter of course.

Wen-Jiang vomited heavily, raised his hand and scratched his head indiscriminately~lightnovelpub.net~ strode up, and then boldly and directly said hello, "Hey, Lan Li, I am Jiang, nice to meet you."

Forest joked, "It seems that we don't need an introduction at all."

"To be precise, I confirmed every name in the list of actors, and only then signed it. Therefore, I don't need to introduce each person." Lan Li said a cold joke seriously, and Max and Wen-Jiang instantly Captured the humor and both laughed.

But Forest and Tony could not react in time.

Then Lan Li said again, "I am Lan Li. It is my honor to know you. I personally like'Sunny Days' very much. In addition, the performance of'Red Sorghum' also left a deep impression. Regrettably. The thing is, after you changed your job as a director, you seemed to lose interest in acting and didn't continue to dig."

Although it was a "criticism," it was not aggressive, and it was more of an expression of grief, which made Wen Jiang Liu a surprised expression, "Unexpectedly, you actually hid a hand." Everyone knows Lan. Li knows Chinese culture very well, but Wen-Jiang is still surprised, "Are you a fan of Quentin?"

Quentin Tarantino is undoubtedly a super movie fan. Among them, his obsession with movies in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong is also famous.

"I may not have as many movies as Quentin, but it is true that I am also a fan and a movie-loving audience." Lan Li admitted frankly, "Obviously, the Chinese movies of the 1980s and 1990s did stay. With an indelible mark, no fan is willing to miss that golden age."

Wen-Jiang showed a look of sudden realization, smash it, smash it, and said meaningfully, "Ah...I now finally know why you always go to the capital city instead of the imperial capital."
