Gu Luobei stood at the door of the "Crescent Moon Restaurant" and let out a long sigh of relief. Even Gu Luobei himself thought it was a little funny, how could anyone attend the interview, and then let the interviewer accommodate the interviewer's time.
In fact, after Gu Luobei said that he had no time today, he hesitated for a while, and finally said "sorry" to the staff to express his feeling that he could not participate in the interview.
This time, it was originally just a surprised staff member, and his mouth was completely crooked: Who is this? Is he sure he is an actor?
However, the staff still put away the surprise, tried to calm down their inner entanglement, and said with a smile that they needed to confirm with the casting director. This is also because of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night"
This casting is very special, so the staff thought it would be better to confirm it.
So, in the end, Gu Luobei appeared at the door of the "Crescent Moon" restaurant, because the casting director said that he would send someone to interview immediately. This decision made the staff gossip: In her memory, this actor named Evan Bell was unknown, so why did the other party insist on interviewing him? And in the phone call just now, the other party changed his attitude after hearing the name. Could it be that this person is a relative or immediate family member of a big actor?
After Gu Luobei left, the name Evan-Bell became the focus of gossip within the Screen Actors Guild today. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Pushing open the glass door of the tea color in front of him, although it is a high-end Italian restaurant, it seems that there is no requirement for clothing. Today, Gu Luobei simply wore a white shirt and a fine-grained washcloth coat of sky blue color. shì Yingsheng did not refuse Gu Luobei who was dressed in casual clothes to enter. It seems that the atmosphere of this restaurant is relatively civilian.
The temperature indoors is one or two degrees higher than the outside, which is like the transition of spring and summer.” It reminds people of the sunny outing weather. As soon as you enter, you will see a bar. Although it is still morning, the bartender Still busy. Going to the left, the line of sight is immediately occupied by a huge oven." There was a chef in a white chef's uniform who was making cakes with his hands and feet. Gu Luobei recognized it as an Italian tradition. One of the diets, there are many Italians in his community, and they have eaten it many times, but this is the first time I have seen the craftsmanship made on site.
"How many?" Shì Yingsheng, who walked in with Gu Luobei, asked politely. Wearing a white shirt and a black waistcoat with a gold bow tie, the shì Yingsheng really has an Italian feel.
Gu Luobei wasn't sure either. He didn't know who and how many people Bi Jing would send for the interview. A formal interview should have agents, producers, directors and actors present, and this is different from the "Death Illusion" interview." This is a film invested by a film company, and the selection of actors should be closer to the "sniper phone booth" battle. But Gu Luobei's temporary intention, what will change is uncertain.
"I have an appointment, find me a seat for four first." Gu Luobei just paused, and then said his decision.
At this time, there were only three or four tables of guests in the restaurant, and there was still more than an hour before lunch time.
It is not surprising that there are fewer people. Gu Luobei sat down in the sand by the window. Immediately after, shì Yingsheng brought a glass of warm water with a goblet, and then silently backed away. Well, I must remember that Gu Luobei had an appointment, so he didn't ask about ordering.
Before Gu Luobei could pick up the water glass in front of him, the door of the restaurant was pushed open. Because he was waiting for someone, Gu Luobei raised his head subconsciously and saw Christopher standing in front of the bar looking for people. A Nolan. I didn't expect that the director would actually come out in person.
Is this luck? Two of the three film interviews Gu Luobei has participated in are face-to-face with the director, which is really incredible for a rookie actor.
There are not many customers in the store, Christopher Nolan met Gu Luobei's eyes at once." The expression on his face did not change, but there was a flash of joy in his eyes, but he didn't know if he was happy to see Gu Luobei again. Still happy that he finally found a candidate for an interview. Christopher Nolan said a word to shì Yingsheng next to him, and then walked over to the table where Gu Luobei was.
"Bell, it's nice to see you again." Christopher-Nolan sat down in front of Gu Luobei, but he was not good at communication. His words were quite simple and blunt, but there was still a touch of joy in his tone. Let it be known that he is in a good mood.
"It's my honor to have the director come in person." Speaking of polite words, Gu Luobei was obviously much smoother. But this is not a simple polite word, Gu Luobei really feels honored. Gu Luobei admires Christopher Nolan's talent.
shì Yingsheng just stepped forward to ask about the order. Christopher Nolan is obviously not a regular here. After all, he only came to the United States from the UK for the exhibition. "White Night" is only his third movie, and it really doesn't count. rich. Gu Luobei smiled at shì Yingsheng when he saw Christopher Nolan's gaze, "One pancake, one glass of orange juice."
After finishing speaking, Gu Luobei glanced at Christopher Nolan, he nodded, "Same." So Gu Luobei added, "Two glasses of orange juice." Enough, it's not lunch time after all.
"Why did you think of interviewing for the role of Will Domo?" Christopher Nolan is really not a good communicator, and he and Gu Luobei only said a few words back and forth, and then went straight to the topic.
Gu Luobei thought that if he wanted to win at the Oscars, he had to communicate more with the academic judges. Perhaps it was because Christopher Nolan was so unsociable that he had been reborn before Gu Luobei was reborn. , Christopher Nolan is still unflattering in the eyes of academics. Even Oscar nominations are stingy, let alone winning.
"Naturally, I want to challenge it." Gu Luobei's thoughts flashed in his mind, and he quickly answered.
Christopher Nolan looked at the confidence in Gu Luobei's eyes and couldn't help but smile. In fact, the reason why the casting director agreed to Gu Luobei's interview was because Christopher Nolan was right next to him at the time. He heard that it was Evan Bell, an 18-year-old. Christopher Nolan's mind immediately came up with the one from Park City. The figure of a spirited young man. For the seasoned and sharp middle-aged policeman in the play "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", it is unbelievable that an 18-year-old boy would be interested. As for the performance of the other party in the interview Convince yourself that Christopher Nolan is even more interested.
Of course, Christopher Nolan's decision to accept the interview was also because he believed in his own intuition and felt that Gu Luobei was not a person who spoke the vernacular, let alone someone who was bored and looking for something to entertain. would like to attend an interview. So, Christopher Nolan's curiosity arose.
When Gu Luobei said that he needed to adjust the time, Christopher Nolan didn't say anything, he replaced the casting director who was not available today, and came to the "Crescent Moon" restaurant in person.
Gu Luobei didn't know Christopher Nolan's thoughts, and just continued to say according to his own thoughts, "Of course, if you want me to play a police officer in his forties or fifty years, I must have many shortcomings. But if it is a A middle-aged police officer in his thirties, experienced and experienced, but suffering from severe insomnia and causing mental confusion, then I still have some confidence."
Gu Luobei's words were very skillful and very truthful. He did not shy away from his shortcomings, nor did he suppress his strengths, but made a clear judgment.
Christopher Nolan didn't give any response, just stared at Gu Luobei's eyes earnestly, as if he was digging into something, only to see his hands folded on the table, tapping gently and rhythmically, no He made a sound, only to see the shadows cast by the sun on his hands, which suddenly became longer and shorter.
Christopher Nolan's attitude made Gu Luobei a little uncertain. Gu Luobei didn't know how to show how to determine whether to pass the interview in this type of interview.
Thinking about what he said just now, Gu Luobei laughed instead and leaned back.
The way he spoke just now didn't look like he was here for an interview, but like someone who came to negotiate, which reminded Gu Luobei of negotiating contracts with Apple and Warner Records. It is estimated that Christopher Nolan was also confused by his attitude.
"I'm curious." After a while Christopher Nolan said, as if he had finally completed the thinking in his mind, "The information about this role in the union is not very detailed, but you are What is the reason for being able to grasp the essence of this horn so clearly?"
Christopher Nolan's words made Gu Luobei's expression stiff, but Gu Luobei ignored it. In the Actors Guild of America, the character of "The Pursuit of the Murderer in the White Night" Riwell-Domo is described very simply: a seasoned Los Angeles Police Department detective, who went to a small town in Alaska to investigate a murder case, passively fell into a huge In stress, judgment and control are lost. But Gu Luobei mentioned two key pieces of information, one is age and the other is insomnia. No wonder Christopher Nolan has so much time to think.
The corners of Gu Luobei's mouth twitched a little, but he couldn't tell Christopher Nolan, "Hey, I'm actually reborn." But Gu Luobei didn't pause for too long, just smiled and said, "I used to watch it in 12 years. There was a Norwegian movie, also called "The Chase in the White Night", and the setting of the character of Will Domo seems to be exactly the same as the protagonist of that movie."
Gu Luobei didn't make any other explanation, but just this sentence leaked a lot of information.
The corner of Christopher Nolan's mouth drew a faint smile, and there was a little more approval in his eyes. a.
