Chapter 403

Langley knew about Seth's movie, "cancer fighting me (5050)".

To be exact, the translation of the name of the film is not accurate. It should be called "five five open", or "half chance".

At the beginning, the movie chose "I have cancer" when it made its name. But later, because there was a negative word like cancer in the title, which was not in line with the style of the movie, it changed to "live with it", and finally evolved into the name of "5050" when it was released.

Therefore, the translation of "anti-cancer me" actually goes against the intention of the crew. However, this still does not affect Langley like the film.

As Seth said, the film focuses on cancer from a special perspective. Because the story is adapted from the writer's real experience, the script is very real and delicate.

Although under the existing medical conditions, cancer is no longer an incurable disease, it is still one of the most difficult diseases to cure. "Cancer" is just a word with powerful lethality, which can easily destroy life to pieces.

Just like facing difficulties, choices and death, everyone has the right to choose his own attitude, anger, sadness, pain, struggle and despair. Adam, the hero of "cancer fighting me", chose to be strong and optimistic.

Adam is not a robot. He has his own emotions. He will be at a loss, he will be angry, he will be depressed, he will be sad, he will be vulnerable, in the face of cancer, he is also facing the threat of death. It's just that he chose to be brave.

Last life, when Langley watched the film for the first time, he hated it.

Because Adam at least has the opportunity to fight, and he has been deprived of the right to fight; Because Adam reflected all his shortcomings, cowardice, timidity, fear, hesitation; Because, after all, Adam recovered, like a fairy tale, he conquered cancer, but he was still trapped in the hospital bed.

And because, more than anyone else, he knows how precious Adam's courage is, how incredible Adam's strength is, but he can't do it himself.

The film projects too much personal emotion, so it is not easy to look at it objectively.

Later, after a long time, lanli finally got up the courage to watch the film again. This time, he fell in love with it. Because he saw hope and life.

Life is always full of tribulations, and cancer is just one of them. Many times, people have no right to choose the form of tribulations, but at least, people have the right to choose the attitude they face and the way they live.

Fate is really an interesting thing.

At the beginning, lanli missed the opportunity of "bad boss" and taking part in comedy movies, expressing regret, which also became an opportunity for Andy to agree to Seth's request; Then he rediscovered the opportunity to perform comedy in another way, and it was a project tailored for him.

Even Andy, even Seth, even Langley himself, didn't expect this scene.

Seth just introduced half of the time, Langley had already reacted, he knew that "anti-cancer me" came to his hand in this way of reincarnation.

In this movie, Langley saw too many familiar shadows. He saw himself, he saw Heather and the children in Mount Sinai Hospital. He also saw the driving forces that supported him to go on. They were family, love and friendship. James McAvoy missed it, Joseph Gordon Levitt missed it passively, but Langley will never miss it.

In this play, Adam reflects will lissel's shadow, but in Langley's eyes, Adam reflects himself. To be more precise, Lan Li will play the role of Chu Jiashu.

Seth's nagging voice still came from his ear, but lanli's mood was immersed in his own world, which began to fluctuate.

Some excited, because this is the return of self, he and will have the same opportunity to share his story with the audience; A little nervous, because he's going to expose himself in front of the camera - who he used to be.

There are some expectations, because he will go to the extreme on the road of Methodist acting, which will complement the "detached" Expressionists; He was a little nervous because he worried that he might confuse the differences between Adam, chujiashu, will and Langley.

The mood is so turbulent that the fingertips can't help shaking slightly. Lan Li sat up straight, found a box of cigarettes under the coffee table, pulled out one, held it in the corner of his mouth, hesitated for a moment, but he didn't light it after all. He just let the faint smell of tobacco around his fingertips, and the whole person settled down a little.

"Seth, I have a question. You just told stories, but you didn't tell much about the characters. I'm just not sure. What kind of role is this? "

Lan Li forced himself to calm down and said half jokingly.

Seth was caught off guard by this problem. As a screenwriter, his talent has been recognized, but as an actor, he has only comedy talent and lacks the depth of acting skills. So for a moment, Seth really didn't know how to answer, "well, I'm not sure, but maybe you can meet will."

Under the crisis, Seth can only come up with such a bad plan.

But after saying it, Seth also realized that this sentence was not appropriate and quickly added, "I mean, this is a very special role. Although will cast many shadows on the role, he still made artistic treatment and created a new role. This part will be handed over to you, and you will give the role vitality."

Seth's brain is finally connected, "to a great actor like you. You know, the tone of the whole movie is determined by you. I'm just responsible for making fun of it. The steering wheel, accelerator and brake are all under your control. We hope this is a story full of hope, but how to interpret it will depend on the way you perform! "

It has to be said that Seth's quick wit is really good. He roundly brought the topic back, didn't say anything, but secretly sought after Lan Li, which made Lan Li smile.

Langley knew the role of Adam better than anyone else.

Adam had his own sadness and struggle, but the light sadness never really got the upper hand, let alone defeated him. Under the strong and optimistic appearance, sensitive and fragile, delicate and warm, bright and strong, that kind of indomitable strength, throughout, has become the biggest power of his rebirth.

As Seth said, Adam decides the tone of the whole movie, and he is the soul.

As for Adam, Langley knows it like the palm of his hand. He even worries that he is too clear, so that he confuses the difference between Adam and chujiashu, crosses the boundary between chujiashu and Langley, and then can't extricate himself, which destroys the tone and rhythm of the film itself and creates a disaster.

It was himself, but not himself.

This is a challenge, a brand new challenge, a challenge to compete with oneself, a challenge that is not inferior to "detached" but completely different.

Seth waited for a while, but didn't hear lanli's answer. He began to feel uneasy and said in a hurry, "lanli, I'm serious. The whole crew is looking forward to your arrival. I know that we missed you in the preparatory stage and chose other actors, which led to the present situation. Now, all the words sound like sophistry. But the truth is, I really, really hope you can play in this work. "

Without rhetoric, Seth's words become simple, but there is no discount between the sincere words.

The corner of blue Li's mouth rose slightly. "OK, I'd like to play."

Langley was sure that he would not reject the proposal.

Even if he knew that the box office results of the film were doomed to be difficult to make a breakthrough, that is to say, like "500 days with summer", the film had a box office of about 30 million in North America; Even if he knows that the award season of this work is hard to go further, it is estimated that he will show his face at the Golden Globe Award; Even if he knew, the topic effect of the film could not be compared with "buried alive" or "Crazy".

However, he will not refuse.

"... well, good?" Because lanli agreed so quickly and so crisp, Seth choked and frowned. His first reaction was that lanli was joking, "are you sure? You don't need to think? You know, five days before the production starts, you can at least have, er, I'm not sure, 48 hours? 72 hours? Think again. "

Langley understood that he had time and space to think, but he didn't need it.

"Do you want me to think again?" Lan Li showed a smile and asked.

"No, no, No." "Of course not!" he said Seth quickly stressed, "good, you promised to play! Very good, everything is very good! I'll call your agent now to discuss the contract. We're going to shoot this in Seattle. When can you come over? "

Seth took a big breath, wrinkled his face and shook his head. "No, no, I'll talk to your agent about this information. All you need to do is have a good rest, right, have a good rest! That's our deal! You are going to play in this work! Good, perfect! It couldn't be better! "

Then Seth screamed, "Jesus Christ, I can't believe you really agreed to play! We've never met before, but I have to say, I love you. You are my superhero. "

That can not hide the excitement, through the phone also infected Lan Li, the corner of the mouth smile also rose up.

This film is of extraordinary significance to Seth, and his excitement and joy at the moment can be understood. It can be felt that his friendship with will is really moving.

Seth screamed heartily for a while, then gasped, "sorry... Hoo, sorry, I forgot to tell you one more thing. I hope you won't regret your decision after hearing it."
