Chapter 1125

"Drunken folk"? Is it really a "drunken folk song"? What the hell is going on?

Joel Cohen directly dropped a bomb in the room, which attracted people's attention. However, he was calm and naturally cast his eyes on blue Li, waiting for blue Li to give a reply.

Nathan, standing next to him, looks at his left side and right side, not sure whether he should continue to ask, "tea or coffee", because Joel can't wait to get to the point; But if there is no drink, it is too impolite. What should he do?

Or Lan Li successfully extricated himself from the encirclement, "the guests are as they please. Let's choose tea, black tea." Lenley said with a smile to Nathan, "just follow my habits."

Lan Li's habit is: Chinese style black tea, tea, not tea bag; At the same time, no milk, no sugar; Then it can be paired with some snacks.

Nathan breathed a sigh of relief, but still cast his eyes to the Cohen brothers uncertainly, because he was not sure whether they could accept it, but Langley said again, "this is not the focus for them; But for me, it is. "

A joke, immediately let Ethan can't help but smile, and then gently nodded to confirm, "according to the blue Li said."

There is no need to explain at all. Just look at Joel, who has never been moved, to know what drink to choose at this moment, which is not within the range of his radar. His eyes are fixed on lanli. Even in the process of conversation, Joel is still waiting for lanli's reply.

After Nathan nodded and left, Joel immediately went on and added, "I'm serious. I mean, we're serious. We insist on, or hope that you can play the part of 'drunken ballad'. If... If... "The following words didn't go on, but wanted to say and stopped, seemed to be a little worried.

This time, Ethan took the initiative and said, "we can all sit down and talk slowly about the pay and treatment. Everything is OK within our terms of reference. Now the only problem is that time is too tight. We know that you just finished shooting this work. You need to adjust your state and have a little rest, but... "

Ethan also hesitated and hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind and said, "but we hope to start shooting next week. Back in New York. If so, first of all, can your state be adjusted as soon as possible; Second, you may be missing the Golden Globe and Sundance

"But! But Joel interrupted Ethan and said eagerly, "we believe in your strength. You know, we watched the video of your performance in Pioneer Village before, I mean the original one, the first one. "

As like as two peas, a guitar and a guitar, that's all. Then you play Cleo Patra, perfect. Everything is perfect. Whether you believe it or not, this is the beginning of the movie we conceived. Really, as like as two peas! All the inspiration and pictures are the same Joel spattered, "to be honest, there's no one else but you."

"Is that true?" Just right, blue Li inserted a word, looked at Joel with interest, and suddenly took the topic askew.

Jolton just touched his neck and said honestly, "no, it's not. We've considered other candidates, but you're the best. That's the truth. That's absolutely the truth. Levine Davis is Langley hall, and Langley hall is Levine Davis. You are still one of the important sources of inspiration for the whole story. "

In the face of Joel's honesty and sincerity, lanli chuckled, cleared his throat and said seriously, "what I'm most curious about now is, what's going on? I think the movie should be finished by now. "

In the last interview, both sides reached a consensus. The Cohen brothers have to get into the production of the film as soon as possible. They have no way to spend a lot of time waiting for lanli. The missed schedule leads to the regret of both sides. But now, six months later, the production of "drunken folk songs" has not started. Obviously, there must be something wrong with the crew.

Lanli needs to understand what's going on.

Ethan and Joel exchanged their eyes. Then they saw Joel turn three big white eyes in a row with a look of chagrin. Finally, they nodded helplessly and waved to Ethan like a fly. He turned his head and avoided his eyes.

Ethan then met lanli's eyes and explained, "because this stupid guy sitting next to me told the actor's agent that the actor's singing skills were very good, very good; But his performance can't compare with you in any case. His performance is disappointing and regrettable, and can't arouse resonance at all. He is an excellent singer, but not necessarily an excellent actor

In the sight, Ethan saw with his own eyes that lanli opened his mouth slightly. His astonishment and amazement showed without concealment. Ethan only felt his teeth were sore, but he continued to say, "this is not all. He even sent the video of your performance in the Pioneer Village to the agent, directly emphasizing that this is the effect we want."

Disaster, this is definitely a disaster.

No actor likes to become an imitator of other actors, no actor wants to perform according to the template of other actors, no actor wants to be a substitute, and it is a defective substitute. This is even more insulting to the agent.

Such a blatant way of expression completely tells the actors and agents that they are the spare wheel, the substitute and the second choice; What's more, they are never better than the best choice.

The audition stage is already like this, so the shooting stage will be a nightmare. It's impossible to predict what bad words Joel will say.

Perhaps, the 18 line actors of unknown origin are willing to firmly seize any performance opportunity, even the spare tire; But deep down, they still can't be happy.

Now, just hearing the report from Ethan, Langley was so embarrassed that his fingers curled up; Even if he was the actor who was sought after and praised, it was still too strange.

Langley couldn't imagine how the actor and agent would react. The brain filled Andy Rogers' possible reaction, inexplicably, he felt a sense of embarrassment. Then, lanli was on pins and needles, although he knew that it had nothing to do with him; But anyway, he was one of the parties.

"How did they respond?" Lan Li adjusted his sitting posture and asked.

"They asked us to send you an invitation." Ethan replied with an embarrassed expression.

"They still keep their manners," he said At least he didn't say "go away", but it can be imagined that the actor and agent should still be afraid of the position of the Cohen brothers in the industry, which did not completely out of control.

Joel, who is sitting next to him in silence, seems to be aware of his recklessness, but he can't help muttering, "but what I'm saying is the fact that Oscar's performance lacks that kind of texture, that kind of texture belongs to bards and vagrants. He is a folk singer in the 21st century, but not in the 1960s."

"Oscar Isaac?" Blue Li gently raised eyebrow tail, and then got Ethan's confirmation, blue Li pursed the corners of his mouth, "it seems, after encountering Oscar, I should take a detour."

Such a banter made Joel adjust his sitting posture awkwardly. Ethan also scratched his neck, and his expression was a little raw.

Now, Langley finally knows why. Obviously, after six months of procrastination, the production of "drunken folk songs" still failed. It was not because of the crew or the script, but because of him.

Although I'm sorry for Oscar Issac, I'm still moved in my heart.

Lanli once watched the video of Oscar Isak's ballad concert. His performance is so excellent that there is no sense of disobedience among a group of ballad singers, and even better; What's more, the temperament of Oscar is also what Langley likes very much. In other words, it's not that the Oscars are not good enough, but that Joel is picky because he has a better choice.

Just like Alfonso Caron at the beginning, the Coen brothers also showed the enthusiasm and persistence of moths to the fire, which is the best recognition of Langley as an actor and the best trust in the strength of Langley's actors.

What's more, the Cohen brothers are not Alfonso who doesn't listen out of the window. They clearly know that sticking to an actor and refusing to compromise have a significant impact on the crew, the project and the investors; They also clearly know that maybe an actor is indeed irreplaceable, but a role player is replaceable.

Even so, the Coen brothers still chose lanli, and at the same time, before the "gravity" was finished, they specially arrived at the crew and sent out an invitation. This sincerity is moving enough.

It is an unchangeable truth that a scholar dies for his confidant and a woman is tolerant for herself.

From a little actor of unknown origin to today, lanli finally has his own world, which belongs to the actors. It is not only the box office or awards, nor the support of fans or critics, but also the recognition from peers in the industry, the most difficult and important recognition.

Interestingly, "Cleopatra" was created and performed in Pioneer Village, which became the opportunity for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg to choose Langley to play "the Pacific War", the starting point of "Don Quixote" album, and now the performance inspiration of "drunken folk".

When he created this song, lanli never expected the follow-up development.
