Chapter 214： quirky choice

From the high school student of "Dead Web Illusion" to the 30-year-old agent of "Sniper Phone Booth,"

Then there is the police officer Ben Si who is "chasing the murderer in the white night", and now he is a fifty-year-old thief who is "adapting the script".

Evan-Bell felt that his trajectory on the actor's path was a little weird.

Although it's just a supporting role, Evan Bell doesn't care, he cares more about the script,

It is the corner itself, which is his usual style. So, after hesitating, Evan-Bell said calmly, "Try." This "Try" doesn't mean taking over the script and trying the role, but letting Richard-Kaufman try to persuade Evan-Bell.

Hearing this, the smile on Richard Kaufman's face was hidden in his eyes, and his expression suddenly became serious. He knew that after knowing that Kou Sè was a fifty-year-old uncle and a supporting role, Evan-Bell still chose to try to listen to and read the script, which was a great improvement for Richard Kaufman.

In fact, taking ten thousand steps back, no one is indispensable. The role of "adapting the script" in the past life is not Evan Bell's, and other people play the same role: even in this lifetime, there are a lot of actors who have played more than Evan Bell, not to mention the age. There are also countless actors who are suitable and have excellent acting skills, and it is not necessary for Evan and Bell.

But Richard-Kaufman chose Evan-Bell, not only because of his reputation, but also on the actor Evan-Bell. After careful thinking, the decision was made. invite. This can be called the first person to create a god. It is naturally the best to be successful. If not, Richard Kaufman will naturally have a second and third person in mind. Therefore, Richard Kaufman will still seriously convince Evan Bell, hoping to make the first person appear smoothly!

Since Evan Bell had not seen the movie "Adapted Script" before, nor had he even read the relevant movie reviews, the understanding of this movie can be said to be infinitely close to ignorance, so, When Richard Kaufman elaborated on the script, Evan Bell listened carefully. Listening to the original creator of the script to explain, is different from reading and understanding it yourself, you can also create new perspectives and views on the script from the screenwriter's point of view, tone of voice, and method of statement advancement. As an actor, knowing how to understand scripts and characters from different angles and directions is also a required course.

In fact, the story of the script "adapted script" is not complicated.

Susan-Olin wrote a novel, "Lanhuā Thief," which describes the "lanhuā thief" John-La Roche and three other Cimino Indians plan to clone a rare orchid for profit s story.

This is the main line of the nose shadow.

The screenwriter Charlie Kaufman is good. The main character of this film has the same name as the screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, which makes many people wonder if the story is related to Charlie Kaufman's creative process. When describing the story to Evan Bell. At the time, the bookish ghost laughed and didn't talk, but the look in his eyes gave Evan Yibel a feeling of "affirmation". The show's Charlie Kaufman and his twin brother, Donald Kaufman, plan to make "The Lanhuā Thief" into a movie, another thread in the film.

Charlie Kaufman came to New York for the help of Susan-Olin in order to adapt the script.

Charlie's life gets more and more eccentric as the script adapts, and he and Donald are jealous of each other, like a split personality. But Susan-Oleine seems to have found her long-awaited love in the protagonist of her novel, John-La Roche.

In the process of adapting the script, everyone's inner hope began to have a strange collision. When a screenwriter's attempt to adapt a novel is turned into a movie, that's where the movie comes in.

After listening to Charlie Kaufman's description, Evan Bell was a little more interested in the male protagonist. This role requires one person to play two roles, which is definitely a big challenge. However, Evan Bell also knows that he is still learning his acting skills, and it takes his energy to play a good role, let alone play two roles in a movie. At this point, Evan Bell is very self-aware.

Therefore, Evan-Bell just tasted it a little in his mind, and then directly focused his attention on the supporting role, John-La Roche, which was also the role Richard Kaufman wanted Evan-Bell to challenge.

"What kind of ruffian is La Roche?" Evan Bell asked a simple question. In fact, this question is not asked, because it is too vague to imagine, and it is also a question that the actor who takes over the role needs to conceive. But Evan Bell asked this mainly because he wanted to know what the basic positioning of this character was in the mind of screenwriter Charlie Kaufman.

"Poor, down-and-down, thief, rogue, uncompromising means, to be precise, he is a little villain who has done nothing major, but he has done nothing less to steal chickens and dogs." Charlie Kaufman briefly described, Use a series of adjectives to outline the image of this horn: "By the way, he lost his front teeth in a car accident, but he has no money to pay the dentist's fee to fill his teeth.  …,

Along with Charlie Kaufman's description, Evan Bell shaped the character of John La Roche little by little in his mind. Maybe the head is messy and has not been taken care of for a long time, a dirty T-shirt and denim kù is the whole body: the wrinkles on the forehead and the corners of the eyes not only highlight the age, but also the marks left by the growth rings: the leaky teeth make him He is often ridiculed by others when talking, but he will never be stingy to use his fists to teach these people a lesson: not doing the right job, not thinking about making a good money, but just thinking about making a lot of money by using the sideways. This is a character living on the ground floor, like the countless neighbors Evan Bell met in Brooklyn.

When this character was sketched in Evan Bell's mind, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This image is really too far away from him. Will Yiduo in "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" is wise and graceful, and is a respectable positive image: and this time, although it is not a bad guy with wicked crimes, it is obviously not a good image.

If this image is put on his face, Evan Bell has to sigh, Charlie Kaufman's keen observation. In fact, when Evan Bell was a child, such an image was not unheard of. When fighting on a street corner with Teddy Bell, it is very common to have a line of nosebleeds, dirty and embarrassed all over. However, the two brothers knew that going back like this would worry Catherine Bell, so they always secretly mōmō on the corner of the street to take care of them before going home.

It's a pity that no matter how well the image with the bruised nose and face is taken care of, it is still seen by Catherine Bell.

The ruffian in Evan-Bell's style is not only an unrestrained, unrestrained, unrestrained and free temperament, but also an aura that was cultivated on the streets when he was a child. Unexpectedly, Charlie Kaufman could actually see through this, and let the now-recognized nobleman Evan Bell play the role of this ruffian.

Charlie Kaufman made this decision, and he also considered all aspects.

Knowing how to show the characteristics of the groove without losing his own characteristics is the most valuable asset of an actor. In "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", Evan-Bell's elegant and noble temperament is actually not suitable for the role of Will-Domo, but Evan-Bell skillfully integrates his calm and steady aura into In the corner, the image of a policeman who is cunning but struggling on his own has been created, and this is where Evan-Bell shines the most. At the same time, this is also the fundamental reason why Charlie Kaufman chose Evan Bell.

Judging from the experience of Evan Bell, the hardships of childhood and the hardships of independent musicians are actually very clear in his grass-roots breath, and this teenager who often wears a ruffian smile obviously has the temperament of a bad boy, Charlie As soon as Kaufman hopes to dig out the grassroots and ruffian side of Evan Bell, coupled with the sense of vicissitudes and experience in his deep eyes, it is the John-La Roche that Charlie Kaufman is looking forward to. Of course, in the script, John-La Roche and the heroine Susan-Orlene must also generate fire, which requires Evan-Bell's swing.

Charlie Kaufman found Evan Bell today, and cast Evan Bell, who will turn nineteen next week, as a fifty-year-old thief. Although it is crazy enough to make people swear, Charlie Kaufman is absolutely It's a thoughtful approach, not a reckless approach.

Evan-Bell didn't know what Louie-Kaufman was thinking, but he had his own.

Evan Bell remembered the two Oscar winners, Nicole Kidman sacrificed her beauty in "The Moment", and Charlize Theron in "The Devil" was completely "destroyed". "

So that all the audience did not recognize this glamorous model, as a result, both actresses won the favor of the academy, and won the Oscar queen statuette.

It is not that sacrificing image, acting will soar. To be precise, he should have abandoned his existing image and made his own breakthrough, thus shining brightly in his acting skills.

"The happiest thing about me is that you didn't recognize me at all." This sentence is from Evan Bell's friends, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Evan Bell I also like it very much. Judging from the three roles he has received so far, I know that Evan Bell is very keen to break his established image and challenge new things.

John-La Roche is definitely Evan-Bell's biggest challenge since he started filming. Whether it's appearance or internal strength, or acting and expressiveness, he will surpass Will-Domo and let Evan-Bell challenge himself again. limit. So, why not do it?

"Mr. Kaufman, I don't know when this movie is going to start shooting? How is the shooting time planned...?" Words undoubtedly mean that things are done!

Rejecting Steven Spielberg and choosing Charlie Kaufman is a bit strange, but after all, everyone has their own preferences: but reject the "Getaway" male lead, choose the "Adapted" male supporting role, and Still a 50-year-old bad old man, which is very strange.

But Teddy Bell didn't care, Charlie Kaufman didn't care, and Evan Bell, who made the decision, felt it was normal. ! .
