After a simple self introduction and greetings, the people sat down again.
Jack Gyllenhaal's big clear eyes were vague and confused. Although he had introduced each other, he still didn't understand what was going on today.
There was a smile on Andre's face. "Don't be nervous. Before I come here today, I don't know what's going on. Eaton doesn't know what's going on. You're not the only one. In fact, I've known Langley for more than 15 years, but I still don't know what happened to him
Jack laughed happily. "Really? I thought I knew Langley very well. Isn't he an actor? His dedication and concentration are really admirable, you know? Not long ago, I watched his performance in the crew. God, that strength and tenacity is really wonderful. "
Andre and lenley exchanged a vision, he now some understand the meaning of lenley. Although Andre doesn't know much about Jack's acting career, now we can see that Jack is another drama maniac. In essence, Jack and Langley are the same kind of people. Therefore, the negotiation content should not be too difficult.
"If you want to praise, you'd better wait until the client is no longer there, and then you can boast to your heart's content. Otherwise, when the party is nearby, you need to pay attention to the propriety of flattery. How uncomfortable it is. " Langley said solemnly that Andre and Eaton were used to it, and Jack was the only one to chuckle.
Blue Li raised his eyebrow and looked at Andre and Eaton. Then he got down to business. "Jack, I've come to ask you out today, and there are two strangers here. I hope you don't mind..."
"No, of course not." Jack cut off Lan Li's words and waved his hand.
Lan Li smiles and says, "there's a job I want to recommend to you."
Jack was a little stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized that he thought of something, and then he couldn't help shaking his hand and laughing, "don't do that... You know... Ha ha. Last time Jessica and I were on the set, we were just joking. You really don't have to take it seriously. "
"What?" Instead, lanli was confused and didn't understand what Jack meant.
Jack couldn't help smiling. "Isn't it? Not long ago, Jessica chastan and I went to visit the crew, because Ryan Gosling was also there. We joked that it was a good deal to visit the crew once in a while and find a job... "But then Jack noticed the smile of Langley, and suddenly realized that he was embarrassed and said," so, Don't you really know? "
Instead of answering directly, he patted jack on the shoulder. "Whatever the reason, you should have confidence in yourself. You are an actor, and I am an actor. The only reason I recommend a work to you or a project is because you are the most suitable one. That's all
Not because of friendship, not because of commitment, not because of pity, but because of fit.
In the face of lanli's open and aboveboard, Jack suddenly "ah" a, "there is such an explanation." That simple and honest appearance really makes people laugh.
Langley takes the script of "Night Walker" from Eaton and puts it in front of Jack.
"This is a play written by Dan Gilroy. I personally like it very much. Although there are more and more books with such a style now, the ability to really burst out such shocking energy is really limited. However, after serious thinking, I think you are more suitable than me. Although I'm not willing to give up, I still hope that this work will be given to the right actors to make it shine. "
Jack didn't worry. Instead, he listened carefully. Instead, he looked at lanli carefully again. After confirming lanli's sincerity, he couldn't help struggling in his heart. In the end, he was neither polite nor unfamiliar. He said dryly, "can you give me a brief introduction? What is the story of the play? "
"Of course." Lan Li accepted.
Then it's time for Langley and Jack.
Langley describes the outline of the whole story and the character of Lewis in detail; At the beginning, Jack just listened attentively, and then gradually began to ask questions. He was also keen to express his opinions and opinions on the role, story, structure and so on. Before reading the script, he had outlined an outline.
Between you and me, in less than 15 minutes, Langley and Jack have completely entered the world of "Night Walker".
When they met for the first time in Berlin before, they always had their own ideas when they talked about movies and performances. They actively talked about it and communicated with other film lovers, which is the same today.
Because Jack hasn't read the script yet, he discusses it more through the social reality and ideology reflected by the characters. Instead, he goes further and shows Gilroy's original intention of writing the script - at least in the way Jack and Langley understand it.
"Wow." Jack could not help but began to sigh, "are you sure you want to introduce this play to me?"
"I think this project is really perfect for you. Not long ago, those media reporters just crossed the line and did something too much. Now playing in such a work is absolutely the best way to fight back! "
"What's more, I think it's really interesting for you to challenge a dark character. Now I've begun to imagine the finished product in my mind. Your performance will be wonderful
Jack is a real personality. The excitement and excitement in his expression can hardly be hidden, but he still suppresses his impatience for the time being. He devotes himself to Lan Li and gives his advice politely; Moreover, the sincerity in the words and the sincerity in the eyes are not mixed with water at all.
"Thank you for your compliment." Blue Li gently jaw head to express thanks, and then meet Jack's line of sight, "are you serious?" Before Jack answers, Langley adds, "I mean, do you really want me to play? To put it another way, Jack, are you really not interested? "
Jack's face suddenly became sour.
Andre narrowed his eyes slightly and cast a meaningful look at Lan Li. He couldn't help smiling at the bottom of his eyes——
After more than ten years in the entertainment industry, Jack still maintains such a sincere and sincere character. How did Jack survive? However, Gyllenhaal is a family of performing arts. His father is a director, his mother is a screenwriter, and his sister and brother-in-law are actors. Maybe that's why Jack can concentrate on acting.
So, how did Jack, who was so honest, become friends with such a cunning lanli?
However, Langley shrugged his shoulders calmly, not worried about Andre's inquiry. Then he picked up his coffee again and waited for Jack's answer slowly.
Jack seems to have been struggling, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "no, it's... I mean, I'm interested. Just from the description of the conversation, it's a very interesting play After that, Jack gently breathed out a breath, as if finally relieved, and then he saw a faint smile on Lan Li's face.
Think about it.
Jack understood that there was no need for their conversation just now. They were just spinning around in the same place. Lanli knows the excellence of the script and the challenge of the role, but after careful consideration, lanli still chooses to introduce the script to him, which is the best conclusion.
There is no need for him to get tangled, just to be honest.
Thinking of this, Jack smiles again, "lenley, I want to play in this project. Thank you In the final analysis, there are too many similarities between Jack and Langley in their treatment of performance. Jack, who is so straightforward, is exactly the actor who talked with Langley in Berlin.
"Even if you regret it now, it's too late." Jack added, but then he felt a little embarrassed. He laughed twice and scratched his head shyly.
Lanli didn't fight back, but turned to the two opposite people, "once again, this is Eaton. He is a stylist. He may be responsible for the clothing selection of the characters in the cast in the future, but he is a layman, and he is still groping, so he can be regarded as a newcomer; This is Andre, the founder of Sisyphus pictures, the Nightwalker project. If not unexpected, he will take over the investment, production and subsequent distribution work. "
Jack opened his mouth wide.
Bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger. Then, Jack realized that his mouth opening was not very polite, so he slowly covered his mouth with his hands. At the same time, he slowly began to lean back until he leaned against the back of the chair, which stopped. Although he didn't say anything, his vivid expression was enough to explain everything.
"Nice to meet you, Jack." Andre reaches out his right hand again and shakes Jack's hand.
"Don't worry, today lanli ambushed all of us. Eaton and I have limited knowledge of this project, but I believe in lanli's vision, just as you believe in lanli. I'm asking Langley to be the producer of this work. I hope he can participate in the production process. At the same time, I'm looking forward to working with you. "
Frank and sincere, Andre suit the remedy to the case, in the face of jack such a pure actor, Andre is not too demanding, but chose a relatively simple way. After all, it's still in its infancy, and it's making independent films, so he can focus more on quality than on cost savings.
Jack slowly stretched out his right hand, holding Andre's right hand, "Wow, of course, it's my pleasure."
