Chapter 2454

Hotter mccalaney, a 52 year old veteran actor, has been in Hollywood for nearly 30 years. He has never won his own shining moment, but gradually honed his skills over time. He is an indispensable blue collar actor in the film industry.

In the early years of his career, hotter was more active on the small screen of TV, but even in TV series, he rarely won the regular roles, and many of them were still guest stars or rotation performance opportunities. His figure can be seen in "law and order", "criminal psychology", "hero", "crime scene investigation: Maiami" and other dramas.

Small details can reveal the reason: most of the roles played by Holt are detectives.

Because the facial features are too upright, they are considered to be "born as a law enforcement officer". The lack of characteristics means limitations, which limits Hote's career as an actor.

In fact, in the actor and model industry, handsome, beautiful and other exquisite looks are not dominant. Because of the lack of characteristics and the possibility of carving characters, it is easy to cause the picture imbalance because of the appearance too much, and these faces are often considered more suitable for vase characters.

After the golden age of Hollywood, those beautiful faces are no longer popular, such as Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio and so on; On the contrary, Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson and Robert De Niro won more support and affection.

Daniel Day Lewis and Langley hall should be very few exceptions, but even they are more charismatic than handsome.

So is Hort. When he was young, his facial features lacked characteristics, which made him go through numerous setbacks. From TV series to movies, he failed to change the situation either as a detective or as an officer, which is generally the case with all the roles.

"Three gold medal winners", "Legend of gangsters", "concussion effect", "revenge at night", "Detective Jack" and other works can see the figure of hotter, playing a similar role, just like the "Harry Potter" iron triangle, hotter is also bound by this skin mask, unable to get rid of the breakthrough.

What makes people laugh and cry is that this "soul Hunter" is the same.

Hotter is going to play FBI agent bill tench. He is the first member to set up behavioral science (BSU). Hoton and Wendy are the members he recruited later. They have really established the practical application system of criminal psychology, and initially established the systematic application of criminal psychological portraits, And then changed the scientific system of modern criminal investigation - Bill, a real agent.

In fact, before the "soul Hunter", hotter and David finch had cooperated many times, and David could even be said to be one of hotter's nobles.

In 1992, David, a former music video director, directed his first work of his career, "alien 3", in which hort once played a role; Later, Hote appeared in the "fight club" and continued his fate. It's a pity that David's production quantity is not high, and he can't really help hotter's acting career. When he meets again, it's nearly 20 years later.

Like most directors, David has a certain idea of the role image in his mind. They will want to put forward their own requirements and opinions, and then the casting director will find the corresponding actor in the right way; David's requirements for the protagonist are particularly clear, because his works often put all the flesh on the protagonist. The temperament, charm and performance of the protagonist are crucial to the quality of the finished product.

Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman of "seven sins", Brad Pitt and Edward Norton of "fight club", Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield of "social network", Jack Gyllenhaal of "Twelfth Palace", Rooney Mara of "girl with Dragon Tattoo", etc.

All of the above actors were selected by David himself“ It's the same with "psychic Hunter". Langley, Rooney and Holt are chosen by David.

Objectively speaking, Holt has been in the industry for nearly 30 years, and his image has been basically fixed. The possibility of breaking the deadlock is gradually disappearing; But on the other hand, Holt has made his own set of rules in the role of detective and officer, and his mature and steady atmosphere can often hold the battle.

Just like John Goodman.

It's hard to imagine that John Goodwin hasn't won any Oscar nomination in his nearly 40 years of acting career. However, this veteran actor is one of the most popular and favorite actors in Hollywood's major film projects. His calm and easy acting can always stabilize the situation, and at the same time he can control various styles of works, There is no limit to the type of subject matter whether it is business or art.

Lanli and John cooperated in the "drunken folk song". They could really feel John's steadiness from the inside out and complete the adjustment quietly.

David is looking forward to hotter becoming such a sea fixing needle, but whether hotter can shoulder such a heavy responsibility can only be known after putting into actual shooting.

"Soul Hunter" is not a crime drama in the traditional sense, but a pseudo documentary drama with crime as the background. Just as "Twelve palaces" shows the police officers' pursuit of the twelve palaces killer, the core significance of this drama is to show the beginning of criminal psychology and the practical application of psychological portraits, so as to find a combination point between theory and practice, Hope to open a new field of crime investigation.

The most famous representative drama of the so-called "psychological portrait" is "criminal psychology". Based on BSU, a Bau was set up. Members assisted the police to track down serial killers through technology. However, "criminal psychology" presents the story of the mature stage of psychological portrait system, while "mind Hunter" presents the entrepreneurial history of the predecessors of "criminal psychology".

After the popularity of "criminal psychology", there are more and more films and TV works about psychological portraits. "Don't lie to me" is pushing this "mind reading" to the altar. To some extent, these films and TV plays deify the exploration of psychological portraits, because in real life, this kind of investigation method can only provide a reference value, but in the absence of substantive evidence, it can only provide a reference value, But it's hard to convict a suspect, and it's hard to use it in court.

In the 1970s, criminal psychology was just emerging, and even the name of "serial killer" did not exist. People still did not know how to face these persistent, long-term and consistent violent crimes, and the traditional means of investigation seemed unable to trace the murderer.

The situation of strangers killing strangers makes the judgment of criminal motives prone to errors. Even the suspect is not easy to locate. This also makes the investigation deadlocked. The case is starting to increase. Local investigators are all at a loss and don't know where to start.

It is in this context that the research of "criminal psychological portrait" is slowly rising under heavy resistance, and "mind Hunter" tells such a story.

The two protagonists of the "mind Hunter", Horton Ford and bill tanche, have prototypes in real life. The whole story is adapted from the documentary novel of John Douglas and mark olshaker, "the mind Hunter: the FBI series of crime detection".

Former FBI agent John Douglas is undoubtedly the core character. He has been used as the prototype in many films and TV works to create the character image. Jack Crawford in "silent lamb" is a typical representative. Later, "criminal psychology" also refers to his experience and character.

In the series, Horton Ford is the counterpart of John Douglas, focusing more on the image of John when he was young, but still made changes.

Compared with bill tanche and Wendy Carr, they can find the exact corresponding roles in real life. Horton's background and characteristics integrate the image and character of more FBI agents. According to the needs of the work, he recreates and complements the main line to construct the whole story

How to establish the whole system of "criminal psychological portrait"; How to mix psychology with Criminology; How to use systematic alienation for positioning; How to generalize the individualized behavior, and then reduce it to individualization again, so that the police can make judgments according to different cases?

And so on.

Compared with the supernatural psychological profile of "criminal psychology" and "don't lie to me", the "mind Hunter" pays more attention to the early stage of groping in the dark, which makes the interaction and influence, growth and transformation of Horton, bill and Wendy become the core content of the play.

In other words, characters are greater than cases, psychological exploration is greater than suspense.

Because of this, the "soul Hunter" has been unable to find investors, because it does not meet the definition of popular drama, just like a boring documentary; Moreover, "criminal psychology" can always make justice win, but "mind Hunter" may make mistakes in the process of exploration, which makes it more difficult to please the audience.

It is also because of this that "mind Hunter" puts forward strict requirements for the actors of the main three roles. The chemical reaction between them will determine the quality of the whole drama; Moreover, as Rooney said before, the role requires the actor to show delicate and rich psychological changes, which is exactly what Langley is good at.

Now, everything is ready, only the east wind. Next, let's see if Langley can find the simplicity of the "Pacific War" period again, put aside all the skills and burdens, let himself return to the original heart, find the rhythm of the performance step by step, and more importantly, find the fun of the performance.

David's choice proved wise, at least from the actor's first meeting.

"Should we read the script now? Or should we talk about roles? " Rarely, it's not Langley who takes the initiative, but Holt.

He smiles at lenley and Rooney and opens the conversation in an inquiring tone. The performance of the TV series can now begin.
