"What you mean now, oggs, are you going to formally invite me to perform? You've given up the idea of Jason Clark, are you willing to use me? "
Langley's words stunned Argus a little, then his cheek was a little hot, and he said formally, "Jason Clark is in the past. I was thinking that Colin Farrell should be very suitable for the role
With a slight eyebrow lift, history has developed along the original track - if not for today's meeting, will Colin Farrell still play the role of "lobster"?
"But now, I think you're David's perfect performer." "Of course, your age is still short, your appearance is too handsome, and you are too attractive, which is not the perfect template for David."
The corner of Langley's mouth rose, and he could feel the dislike from all over his body: sincerely. Eugene just expressed his dissatisfaction with the accusation of lenley. Now he also expressed his public dislike and rejection of lenley. Is this... Revenge? I don't think it's true, judging by the serious look on his face.
"But your understanding and extension of the character is really wonderful. I can't think of an actor who can give the character such a soul." Argus didn't notice the change of Langley's eyes at all. He was completely focused on his own ideas and kept on expounding his ideas. "Maybe we can modify some settings."
Oggs stopped for a moment. "David can still divorce. As you said, when he was 18 years old, he found a like-minded partner through his brother's introduction. They got married and became a part of society step by step. Then he spent 10 years - or 12 years, which had no effect. His wife became an ex-wife, Then David was single again. Do you have any suggestions? "
"David firmly believes in love, which also means that he still has a hot spot in his heart, just like those subculture lovers, such as comic books, black-and-white movies and Leica cameras. We can find a setting that suits your style, and then let David become an expert in this field, He became addicted to these interests and gradually evolved into a contemporary otaku. "
Lan Li also did not reserve, freely expressed his own ideas.
"Just as you said, when David was 18 years old, he married his childhood sweetheart through his brother's introduction, and they formed a contractual relationship, which also made David away from the so-called exclusion and injury, so that he could continue to be a pure child. However, his ex-wife chose to leave for love, and his brother was turned into an animal because he could not find a contractual relationship, This further strengthened David's idea
Here, Langley pauses for a moment and adds, "you can change the settings of ex-wife and brother, but I believe that the script does not need these two characters. It only needs a line or some objects to leave clues. If the audience likes it, they will find out."
Oggs nodded for sure: he knew every little detail of the Stanley Kubrick movie, and never underestimated the madness of the fans.
"So David can stay between 28 and 30 years old. He can be charming but still can't find a partner. If you need to, I can wear a pair of black framed glasses. Although I know that eyeglass frames are a nerd's stereotype, sometimes they can have an effect on the audience. That's no problem." Lanli's words are full of self ridicule, which seems to be ridiculing his "charm".
But he didn't understand Langley's humor, because he was serious. He shook his head. "I had hoped David could keep a beer belly. You know, it's typical of a middle-aged man. He's a bit slovenly, a bit introverted, a bit belly, a bit simple and honest, maybe a little dirty, but he's not a heavy greasy one."
"I can do it if you want." Lan Li said quietly.
Eugene was stunned and looked at lanli, but found that lanli was serious. Lanli really didn't care about his image. He almost said, "then you can try it." but when the words came to his mouth, he just swallowed them.
It's not because he's soft hearted, it's not because he's accommodating Lan Li, it's because there's no need.
"No, I'd rather not." Angus shook his head. "David's character setting has changed, and the original setting has lost its meaning. I see what you mean now."
According to the original design of the middle-aged man, what is the reason that he wants David to find a partner but refuses to find one? Or would David not be able to find a partner and stay single?
This setting allows David to find an explanation for his behavior in the hotel - more likely he can't find it; But David's behavior in the forest can't be explained, and even the first half of the setting is meaningless. The whole theme becomes mixed, and the audience can't gather their own thinking.
Now he finally realized the root of the problem: he just wanted to present the absurd joy of the story and create a kind of cold humor. The image of a middle-aged man can undoubtedly create more sense of absurdity, but this idea is too random and too loose, which restricts the sublimation of the theme.
After getting the answer from Augus, Langley finally decided that Augus and he were on the same track.
As for the role of middle-aged man, lanli is serious. He doesn't think it is difficult. He is willing to change his image for the sake of the role, if necessary.
"I think, otaku is a very good idea. It can present the image of an otaku fan who can't extricate himself from the old movies. The clothing of the whole character is mainly gray, which precipitates the tone and style of the whole character. Only when they take off their glasses in the bathroom can the audience see his face and feel his charm; And then there's a contrast. "
Later, oggs and Langley discussed the details of David's image. The details are more complementary to the director and props group, such as the suitcase of David going to the hotel; Another example is David's personal equipment; Or books that David read, and so on.
After all the discussion, oggs looked at his watch. Two hours later, he realized that time was flying.
Augus is ready to leave, while Langley says he is still relaxing in the coffee shop for a moment, "don't worry, I still have company." Lan Li held up the books he had put on the table and gave a slight sign.
He didn't say much, but he agreed with me. "Then... Then I'll leave. I'll let you know by e-mail after the preparation. I'll start shooting as soon as next week, or as slowly as three weeks. I need to make sure that Tessa has reserved the shooting site in advance, and we also need to confirm the schedule. "
Lan Li nodded his understanding.
In the end, he decided to "shoot while writing", mainly because the inspiration of David's role came from lenley. He believed that the discussion with lenley during the shooting process could produce more sparks, which increased the uncertainty of the shooting, but also increased the possibility.
So, after he went back, he was going to revise the first edition of the script, but he didn't want to complete all of it. After that, he went directly to the production team and wrote while shooting.
After standing in the same place and thinking for a moment, and making sure that he didn't miss anything, he turned around and left. But he took a few steps and turned back. Before he even had time to pick up his book, Langley raised his head and cast an inquiring look at him.
"Langley..." Argus hesitated, but he insisted, "are you serious about the pay? Isn't it going up now? "
Does that mean pay?
Lan Li was dumbfounded. He didn't explain too much. He gave a positive answer directly, "yes."
But he was still not sure. "I mean... I mean, you can take any work, but why are you willing to hurt yourself for 300000? You even spent two hours persuading me today, is it... Is it worth it? "
"As long as I like it, it's worth it." Lanli said with a smile.
"... I didn't think you were that kind of person." Engels could not hide his surprise, but he immediately realized that he had said something wrong, left behind a "sorry" and left in a hurry.
It's not that kind of person. What kind of person should it be?
The kind of person who is desperate for money and reputation? For the sake of interests, for the sake of power and without means? Or is it someone who destroys someone else's career for personal gain?
Looking at the back of his departure, though Langley knows that he didn't mean to, this is the prejudice of the whole industry, and he won't be hurt; But the heart is still inevitably some loss and helplessness, but also some lonely and lonely.
The continuous drizzle outside the window is still falling, ear came trivial sound, but let the whole world quiet down.
Lan Li held his book, a cup of coffee curled in front of him, quietly looking out of the window at the dense world like ink, let the mood precipitate bit by bit; On the coffee table, there is a pen and a coaster with a sentence written on the back.
"I'm very sober. The world is falling apart. I try my best to keep a fearless heart. There's still a long way to go before I fall to the bottom. Close my eyes and I'll have nothing. So, I am in the cold wind, I insist on going all the way to the other side, or nothing; When others return home, I'm still on my way to the other side, or nothing. "
The damp and cold water vapor between the gray and the ink, outlines the bleak and silence leading to the other side of the world.
Note: the other side the workday release
