Two days had passed by the time Ang Lee met Evan Bell again. After the two said goodbye to each other the day before yesterday, Evan Bell went home and emailed the electronic draft of the script to Ang Lee. Li An carefully and earnestly read the script for three days, which took him two days. As a director, reading the script naturally has his own perspective and focus, including the novel 's reference.
Ang Lee knows that it is not an easy task to make a novel into a movie, because the carriers between the two are different, and the capacity and expression methods are different. Whether it's a long novel condensed into a ninety-minute movie, or a short story expanded into a nearly two-hour movie, it's not an easy task. The carving of characters, the connection of events, including the presentation of details, are all parts that need to be cautious.
Ang Lee has to admit, but after reading the script, he couldn't help applauding. This is indeed a very good script, and the picture is very good. More importantly, he has a good grasp of the essence of the story. And when he saw that the author of the adapted script was "Evan Bell", Ang Lee was even more surprised. It is hard to imagine that such a heavy and profound story was actually written by a 21-year-old boy. Then, when Ang Lee learned that Evan Bell had spent a year adapting "Mysterious Skin", he suddenly realized.
After the meeting, omitting the polite part, Ang Lee said directly, "Evan, this script is really good. To be honest, it's much better than I thought." After Ang Lee finished speaking, he realized that he The words seemed ambiguous, as if to say, "I thought this script was going to be a mess." He couldn't help but smile, and then explained, "I mean it's a tough job." However, this sentence There is still ambiguity, and Ang Lee will not touch his hair, a little embarrassed, "You know what I mean. In short, your work is really great."
Evan Bell smiled, he knew what Ang Lee meant. He spent a lot of effort on this script, whether it was researching the information or writing it, and it was definitely not an easy job.
In fact, from the beginning of the last century until the 1960s, there was no correct term to describe the same-sex sexual behavior between western cowboys, and everyone just euphemistically called it "mutual comfort". As early as 1969, Andy Warhol, an American master of art, unveiled the veil between western cowboys in "Lonely Cowboy". Andy Warhol was even spied on by the FBI during the filming of "Lonely Cowboy." Authorities also investigated Andy Warhol for spreading obscenity, but did not charge him. However, during the film's screening in Atlanta, "Lonely Cowboy" was replaced by the state government with the movie "Gone with the Wind", and the theater manager who tried to play the film was arrested.
And when Michelle Hathaway talked to Evan Bell before, she mentioned the homosexual who was beaten to death at the University of Wyoming, and Evan Bell also found it in the historical data. During the trial, the two attackers defended themselves on the grounds of "homophobia", claiming that they temporarily lost control of their emotions when they saw the victim engage in sex, and they accidentally killed him. But the fact that the victim was tortured alive for five days to death still got the two defendants sentenced to life in prison.
Also, in the 1960s, if cowboys threw hats or boots at each other, it was a hint of courtship. These details, from cowboys, to **** cowboys, to the query of the entire geographic environment of Wyoming, made Evan Bell reveal a real, believable and expressive picture everywhere when he adapted the script.
"Of course, you are the director. If you have your own ideas about the script, why can it be discussed." Despite this, Evan Bell still raised it. In fact, the director and the screenwriter are not able to keep pace every time. In many cases, the director may have many different ideas about the description of the details, the sequence of the plot, and the stacking of conflicts during the actual shooting. It is not impossible for the screenwriter's script to be completely revised on a large scale.
Hearing Evan Bell say this, Ang Lee gave Evan Bell a somewhat surprised look. Now Evan Bell is the producer and screenwriter of "Brokeback Mountain", and even Investor Eleven Studio is an Evan Bell. Evan Bell's, so Evan Bell has absolute decision-making power over the movie, and even his director is bound to be restrained by Evan Bell. But now, Evan Bell is willing to hand over the initiative to him, which is rare in Hollywood but still exists, but Ang Lee did not expect that he could have such great freedom.
Evan Bell did not continue to explain that the two will work together for a long time in the future, and Ang Lee will know that he is not just talking casually. "By the way, I want to appear in this movie. When is the interview?"
Ang Lee took his attention back and looked at Evan Bell carefully again, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking. The two of them mentioned a few words on this issue yesterday, and now Evan Bell has put in practice, This gave Ang Lee a new perspective on this teenager who was touted by the media. However, Evan Bell is just talking about it, or it is real, and we can see the difference soon.
"Which role do you want to play?" Ang Lee immediately entered the state and asked back.
But a few seconds ago, Evan Bell was the one who had the right to decide. He made Ang Lee the director of "Brokeback Mountain"; now Ang Lee has become the one who has the right to decide, Evan Bell must take Convince Ang Lee with his real kung fu: He can indeed star in this movie! The calling of this character is indeed a little subtle.
"Ennis Delmar." Evan Bell had already had an idea and said directly.
"Why? Isn't it more suitable for Jack Drizzt in terms of your appearance?" There were not too many surprises on Ang Lee's face, and he was just performing his directorial interview duties.
Evan Bell shook his head directly, "No, it has nothing to do with appearance. First of all, I think I have absolutely no problem playing Ennis, and there is no problem with appearance." Evan Bell starred in "White Night Chase" Fierce" and "Adapted Script" such a rough role is indeed not a problem for him, "Secondly, because Ennis and the role I played before are different and very challenging."
Li An didn't speak, just a serious expression on his face, conveying the meaning of "all ears are listening". Evan Bell did not pause, and then said, "Ennis is a cowboy, silent and gloomy. He looks masculine and strong, but his heart is fragile and fearful, full of insecurity. In the love relationship between Ennis and Jack, most of the At times, Jack took the initiative. Jack even sketched a beautiful blueprint for the future of the two, but Ennis did not have the courage to take that step. His depression, his restraint, his inner fragility and cowardice made him miss it. A beautiful moment in my life that can never be recalled. If Jack's love is bright, then Ennis's is forbearance. He is like a volcano. He looks calm on the surface, but his heart is already rolling. The role of Ennis has been an unprecedented challenge for me, and I can't tell you that I'm going to do a great job, but I can tell you for sure that I'm going to give it my all."
Li looked at Evan Bell quietly, he saw determination in those azure blue eyes, the same determination as himself. Two days ago, Ang Lee looked at Evan Bell with such unwavering eyes and told him: I am the most suitable director for this movie! Now, Evan Bell's eyes reveal the exact same resoluteness, and maybe the words are a little different, but that resoluteness is familiar to Ang Lee.
In the role played by Evan Bell, there are the dark and confused in "Death Illusion", and the unruly publicity in "Pirates of the Caribbean"; The paranoid ruffian. Indeed, if playing the role of Jack, it is also a challenge, but for Evan Bell, it is inevitable that some repetitions, and the role of Ennis is a new experience. What does a new experience mean? Like "Pirates of the Caribbean", it means success or failure.
Before that, Li An actually didn't know much about Evan Bell, and he was more concerned about it after learning that the "closed farm" was in the hands of Evan Bell. However, Ang Lee still knows that Evan Bell's famous unruly and irreconcilable contradiction with Oscar will naturally not miss the title of "the youngest male acting gold medalist in history"~ www.novelhall.com~ So, after thinking about it carefully, Ang Lee is not surprised by Evan Bell's decision. This is Evan Bell!
"Evan, I believe that in terms of understanding the character, as the screenwriter of the script, I have a deep enough understanding; I also believe that your appearance will not affect the character, but will become an advantage, 'Pirates of the Caribbean' does not It proves this." When talking about this, Ang Lee and Evan Bell couldn't help but smile at each other, "Of course, I believe more in your understanding of cowboy life now." Although Evan Bell did not go to Wyoming, but He has basically been in contact with "Cowboy Life" for two or three months. As long as he has been in Wyoming for a while, I believe he will soon be able to integrate into the role of cowboy, "So, I think if you play the role of Ennis, would be a great idea!"
After receiving Ang Lee's affirmation, Evan Bell couldn't help laughing, "I hope the filming of this movie can be kept secret for a longer time, at least not to let reporters pay too much attention."
Hearing Evan Bell's teasing, Ang Lee couldn't help laughing out loud, and his face with standard Chinese characters was full of bright lightness.
