'You want to make a movie? "Ehuobel is indeed very surprised. Tom Ford is now at the top of the pyramid in the fashion industry, but it is not so easy to enter the military film industry:

Tom Ford didn't get angry because of Evan Bell's questioning. Instead, he laughed and joked, "Don't worry, it's the director, not the actor." "Tom Ford is 47 years old this year. It's really too late to debut as an actor, but age is not a problem. The most important thing is that actors are not so easy to be. In fact, the director is even more so.

In a broad sense, the threshold for the film industry is not high, especially in the Internet era built by spiders*, anyone who is willing to shoot and record short films has the opportunity to become a member of the film industry. But strictly speaking, the threshold of directors in the film industry is definitely a lot higher than that of actors.

What an actor needs to do is to integrate into the role and present the role through his own performance, so as long as you are a person, you have the opportunity to become an actor; as long as you have a handsome face, there is no obstacle to becoming a vase: but the director is different , Directing is a combination of physical and mental activities, this work needs to control the entire crew, the rhythm and atmosphere of the entire work are in the hands of the director.

To give the simplest example, take a picture of a gate. For actors, they can just walk over directly. If it is a long-term view, they don’t need to perform. Just follow the route. Whether the light is in the light or the back light, what is the surrounding decoration, what is the composition of the whole picture, the works that only go through the transition of the picture still have special significance in the overall effect.

The picture at the end of "Mysterious Skin" is just a picture, but it is meaningful. That's it, it makes sense. And different directors naturally deal with such endings differently.

So the director's job is indeed very difficult, which is also the fundamental reason why the Best Director award is always more cautious when it comes to rewarding young people.

"Why do you suddenly want to make a movie?" Evan Bell directly asked the question in his heart:

Tom Ford shook his head, "It's not suddenly, I've already made this plan for years, no, to be precise, this idea has actually been in my mind for more than 20 years."

Evan-Bell put the flood in his hands and looked at Tom-Ford seriously, "Wow, it seems that this story is very important and special to you."

Tom Ford nodded in agreement, "This story is very important to me. Tom Ford and Evan Bell stopped by the post next to the buffet table against the wall and had a detailed conversation. "The story I wanted to shoot was actually adapted from a novel, a story about gays and lesbians." :"

Evan Bell showed a natural expression. Tom Ford has already come out publicly for a long time. He and his partner have known each other for 20 years. This relationship is not only popular in the fashion circle, but even in the entire entertainment circle.

Tom Ford and his partner have survived the difficulties of cancer, have gone through the test of time, and have been together in the sensual fashion circle for 20 years. This is a miracle of love on the verge of death.

"The original book is a novel called 'Single Nose Man,' which tells the story of a lover who dies, and the male protagonist finally decides to end his life." Tom Ford's words awakened Evan Bell's memory a little bit, he knew this film, because the film called 'The Single Man' was one of Colin Firth's live works, which also earned him an Oscar nomination, and Colin Firth relied on the following year', The King's Speech" was nominated for the second year in a row and was crowned Best Actor at the Oscars

The film, called 'The Single Man', is based on the novel of the same name written by Christopher Ashwood Yu Nian. The protagonist of the story is a British professor who teaches at the University of Los Angeles in the United States: this In Evan Bell's memory, after being played by Colin Firth, the role is really outstanding and people have to applaud. The lover of the professor who had been in love for 16 years died suddenly in a car accident, at the lowest point of his life. He chose to end his life

The background of the story is that in Southern California, George is a professor at a university. On weekdays, he is personable and has a very provocative demeanor in every gesture. In school, George is a teacher who is loved by his students and respected by his colleagues; in life, he is a kind and kind middle-aged man: However, George's sexual orientation is different from ordinary people, and he is an openly gay. On the campus of the university, he lived with his lover for sixteen years:

However, unfortunately, he just chose this pair of calm men. George's lover died in a car accident. Facing the departure of his lover, George ushered in the darkest time in his life. He tried his best to stay in front of others. With a suave and refined image of Shishi. But he lives in endless memories of his deceased lover every day. Conversing with a Spanish man with the same **** lips as his lover, who became unhappy and sullen as time passed: so he thought of suicide - after all, in America in the 1960s, in George's today. Age is hard to find another **** lover. On the last day of his life, the world as it appeared to George took on a new look.

Christo Chang, Ashwood's novel was published in Slender Years. In that era full of restlessness, rebellion and anxiety, such a quiet and sad novel was rated as "the most beautiful **** literature".

"I read this novel when I was in my twenties. At that time, I couldn't understand the same-sex love that I have been with for more than ten years." But I was still moved. "Tang Shi Ford was not only talking about a movie project with Evan Bell, but also chatting about his life, and the memory couldn't help but return to the quiet era of more than 20 years. "I already realized that I was a Jin, comrade, but haven't had a lover yet, and I haven't publicly preached about it. It was during that time that I saw this novel. The depressing, pessimistic, and hesitant emotions mentioned in the novel touched me, and the suffocating atmosphere of depression and negative emotions really and truly expressed my feelings. . I long to find my love, but I have nowhere to say, like George in the novel, I even thought about suicide.”

"Knife. Years, I was trying to prepare my first film, and the image of George appeared in my mind for the first time." Tom Ford's calculation Elliot Bell is not surprising, another year, that is', Broken Back A year after the "Mountain" caused countless sensations, gay-themed works have sprung up, but this year's "Milk" can really create a sensation. "I hope to show our lives, but more importantly , No, homosexuality, this word, but the cumulative connection between people, the most important people in our lives are not distant dreams, but those around us who are worth cherishing. That's all I want to express. "

Ebony Bell never interrupted, just listened quietly, and after Tom Ford finished speaking, he looked at Evan Bell with a slightly restrained smile, "So, you know why I want so desperately. Are you shooting such a work?"

Evan-Bell nodded, he could feel the real empathy of Tom and Ford: No wonder Tom-Ford would want to direct such a work himself, as a **** and with his partner. Twenty years, in the story of "Single Man", the feeling is absolutely semi-ordinary.

"Then why are you looking for me?" Evan Bell nodded and asked:

Tom Ford laughed, "Yi Xin, I wasn't looking for you to star." For this movie, you are not suitable: "Tom-Ford's words made Evan-Bell burst into a big smile, ', I hope to get investment from Eleven Studios: "Tom-Ford put away With a smile on his face, he said seriously and formally, "Actually, I have already approached quite a few people for the investment in this movie, but you know..."

Although Tom Ford didn't say it, Evan Bell did know, because he was in this circle. First, this is a gay-themed work. Even if there is "Brokeback Mountain" in the front, Hollywood's deep-rooted unspoken rules are still not so easy to loosen; second, Tom Ford is a rookie without any directing experience, and the production company is willing to invest This is not an easy task, even if he is the famous Tom Ford in fashion circles.

"Do you want Eleven Studio to take over the plan, take full responsibility for the production, and let you shoot; or do you want us to invest in it: "Evan and Bell didn't continue to hover around the silkworms, and directly cut to the point.

Tom Ford was a little bit awkward, he took a sip of the champagne in his hand, and then said, ', Investment: "He is the first director as the director, it would be good if he had the help of Eleven Studio, which could help him Provide guidance; but there is also a possibility that the initiative will be grasped by Eleven Studio, which is not good for Tom Ford, and he does not want to see such a situation. Although Eleven Studio is currently the most maverick in the industry The studio, but they are not a charity organization, and it is impossible to watch their investment go to waste, so Tom Ford also knows that his request is a bit excessive, so he feels embarrassed and twisted.

Before Evan Bell could answer, Tom Ford was embarrassed by Evan Bell's smiling eyes, but fortunately he had already prepared, and then said, "Evan, why are you What about not establishing a fund for newcomers who want to make independent films?"

',fund? "Evan-Bell raised his eyebrows, not expecting Tom Ford to jump straight from his own proposal to the first episode of this wide-ranging issue, but Evan-Bell quickly understood.
