The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 963: Twists and turns
When Lan Li mentioned the symbolic meaning of women, Alfonso laughed happily. The satisfaction and comfort between the eyebrows could not be concealed at all, and there was no attempt to conceal the pure joy and happiness, and then express it happily. To my own joy.
"Len Li, I'm serious. You are the perfect candidate for this movie. I can't think of a more suitable choice. I haven't even described the details of the script or the specific information of the characters. In just a few words, your Understanding and comprehension have resonated with my ideas."
Too excited, Alfonso couldn’t help holding his head in his hands, like a child who just got a lollipop, "God, I finally found you. Please, please, please be sure to star in this work, I have All hopes are pinned on you."
Uh...Inadvertently, did Lan Li pretend to be forced?
Lan Li’s hand movements paused for a moment, looking at Alfonso dancing in front of him, trying to explain, but found that he had no way to defend, let alone, there was no need to defend, so he simply let it go, “Then, you should look for it. The actress is right, why did you find me in the end?"
Alfonso realized at this time that Lanly had not agreed to act; now, he is still persuading Lanly, so he must cheer up, otherwise, he might miss the impeccable actor.
"Yes, your words are correct. We have been thinking about choosing an actress to perform. This should be a more appropriate decision. From the perspective of the imagery and composition of the camera, women undoubtedly have the advantage." Alfonso nodded in affirmation, "But the problem is that the performance of this role is too difficult."
"It is no exaggeration to say that all the lights, all special effects, all shots, and all productions of the entire movie must be demonstrated by this actor. Without a great performance, everything is meaningless." Alfonso He pondered for a moment, thought about it, and then continued.
"This is not just a case of an absolute secret room, all emotions and emotions will be magnified to the extreme; at the same time, in terms of text language, we have been doing subtraction, avoiding preaching as much as possible, but it seems redundant, so the lens language needs to be done. Addition, to capture every detail of the actor’s performance, even just a blink of an eye. That’s the problem!"
As a director, Alfonso is not good at director skills. His strengths are still in lens scheduling, atmosphere creation, and language of the screen; however, this does not mean that he has no say in performance, it is precisely because of his harshness in atmosphere creation. Requirements, so every detail in the picture must be strict, including the performance.
"Addition is too easy and easy to contrive. For the minimalism of the whole movie, it will be a total disaster. Therefore, Hollywood has not many choices.
In fact, under the recommendation of Warner Bros., I have interviewed more than a dozen actors. Either they are dissatisfied with me, think the script is too weak, or think the commercial potential of the work is not enough; or I am dissatisfied with them. After all, the performance still couldn't move me. "
"Warner Bros?" Lan Li's focus has gone off. "Gravity" was invested by Warner Bros. This is certain; but why did Warner Bros. appear in their conversation?
"Yes." Alfonso nodded in affirmation, "Warner Bros recommended you at the beginning. I heard your name for the first time, and then I asked a few friends and got an idea. However, Before I reply, and before the official audition, I hope to see it with my own eyes. As you said, I was considering an actress and then I changed to an actor. I need to do more homework, so I came to London. ."
Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and it was actually Warner Bros. who recommended him. Does this mean that the full version of "Edge of Tomorrow" was previewed internally and received favorable reviews?
In addition, Alfonso had never heard of Lanli before. Sure enough, he is a real technical nerd. However, Lan Li was not only not angry, but rather pleased, because it meant that Alfonso's affirmation and invitation were more pure-this is another affirmation for the performance of the Almeida Theater.
"Actress." After turning off the topic, Lan Li walked back, "Which actresses did you audition?"
If it were other directors, I would have skipped it. Anyway, it’s not about Lan Li. Shouldn’t the focus of the conversation now be on Lan Li?
But Alfonso answered honestly, "Angelina Jolie, Rachel Vichy, Carey Mulligan, Marion Cotillard, Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Porter Man, Felicity Jones, Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts..."
Now, Lan Li can be sure that "gravity" is definitely the handwriting of Warner Bros.
Every actress is worthy of attention, except for Felicity Jones, who is slightly inferior, who only rises by virtue of "Crazy Love". Other actors have a lot of backgrounds. The youngest Kerry Mulligan is also in 2009. In 2009, she was nominated for the best actress Oscar for her "growth education".
Not only that, Alfonso also added, "I originally thought Natalie was the most suitable, but she refused." She shrugged vigorously, expressing her regret and embarrassment.
"Where is Sandra Bullock? I think she is a very suitable choice." Lan Li made a recommendation. I didn't hear Sandra's name, unexpectedly, but it was reasonable.
This time, Alfonso did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Lan Li seriously, hesitated and stopped, endured and endured. After all, he did not hold back, "Lan Li, do you really want to star in this movie? Works? If this is the case, please forgive me for my impoliteness.” Having said that, Alfonso's eyes were full of urgency and pleading, lest Lan Li nodded in acknowledgment.
Lan Li was stunned for a while, and then realized that his actions and words had indeed caused such a misunderstanding, he couldn't help but laughed dumbfounded, "Sorry..."
Lan Li was about to express his rudeness, and then explain some reasons; unexpectedly, Alfonso could not wait to interrupt Lan Li's words, and quickly said, "Sandra, we asked her." Alfonso Looking straight into Lan Li's eyes, expressing her sincerity and concentration, "But unfortunately, she has already signed a contract with the'Big Dreamer' crew first, and there is no time for the next schedule!"
Question mark, question mark, or question mark.
Such an answer is definitely something that Lan Li hadn't expected, and now his head is full of question marks.
"Big Dreamer" is the first film in film history to show the story of Walt-Disney (alter-Disney), whether as a protagonist or a supporting role.
The film tells the story of Walt-Disney spent twenty years, only then persuaded the author P-L-Travers (P-L-Travers) to hand over the film adaptation rights of "Happy in the World" to Disney.
In the previous life, this movie was also released in 2013, and it was a highlight of the awards season. The director was John-Lee- Hancock (John-Lee-), the male protagonist was Tom Hanks, and the female protagonist was It's Emma Thompson.
The early stage of the awards season had a good momentum and was highly recognized at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards; but unfortunately, the momentum declined and only one nomination for the best original soundtrack was received above the Oscars.
Now, Sandra Bullock has replaced Emma Thompson as the heroine of the "Big Dreamer", which means that history has changed again. So, what about Emma? Did she withdraw from the project altogether, or did she have other performance plans? Will the "Big Dreamer" starring Sandra make a difference in this awards season?
Objectively speaking, it is not surprising that Sandra joined the "Big Dreamer".
Because John Lee Hancock is the director of the "weakness", he personally sent Sandra to the Oscar queen's throne; now Sandra reciprocates, which is completely expected, not to mention, "Big Dreams" The actor of "Home" is still Tom Hanks, a proper movie template for the awards season.
But what really raises Lan Li's question is, is this the butterfly effect? Has the chain reaction after the rebirth finally started to show off after a long period of incubation and precipitation?
First, the entire crew of "Edge of Tomorrow" was reborn, and everything was changed inside and out; then at this year’s Oscars ceremony, Martin Scorsese successfully won his second Oscar for Best Director, the Little Golden Man; now it’s The choice of actors for other film projects has also changed.
Not only did things that are closely related to the blue ceremony have changed, but in other unrelated corners, changes were also appearing little by little. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Also, as of 2017, will the blueprint of the future known to Lanly have undergone earth-shaking changes?
However, no one can answer. Even Lan Li himself, he can only cross the river by feeling the stones. The unknown is becoming more and more; life is also becoming more and more exciting. After the panic and confusion, Lan Li began to enjoy this change.
"It is precisely because of this that Warner Bros. recommended you." Alfonso didn't know the stormy sea in Lan Li's mind at all, and went on. "Actually, at the very beginning of the project preparation~lightnovelpub.net~ we The actor is set."
"Actor?" Lan Li raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, which he didn't know.
"Ryan-Stone, this is the protagonist's name." Alfonso said affirmatively.
In the United States, Ryan is a relatively masculine name. Although many women have begun to call this name, it is still a more masculine name overall. Not to mention the surname "Stone", it can be seen that Alfonso may have just taken it casually, and chose a strong name based on the male role.
Alfonso went on to add, "Robert Downey Jr. was our first choice, but...in the end we couldn't talk about it. After going around, we chose the actress, and in the end, we went back to the starting point."
Without waiting for Lan Li to express his opinion, Alfonso once again eagerly said, "After watching the performance of'Les Miserables', I realized that you are the most suitable choice, and no one can be more suitable than you. As long as you are willing Nod and agree to appear on the show. The crew can wait anytime and wait until your schedule is right before we start filming. I believe that Warner Bros. will have no objection!"
