Movie Master

Lance's staring eyes made Mickey feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, and the playfulness in his eyes made him feel like a commodity up for sale. Mickey's irritability increased little by little, and finally he couldn't hold back anymore, and said through gritted teeth: , "What the hell are you looking at! Gay!"

Lance didn't seem to be frightened. Instead, he leaned forward and said slowly, "I'm checking whether you are a coward."

As soon as he said this, David, who was sitting next to him, immediately pressed Mickey's shoulders, "Calm down, Mickey, calm down!" Unexpectedly, not only was Mickey not angry, but his eyes were rounded, and he stared hard Staring at Lance, "I'm fine." Mickey's voice squeezed through his teeth, and he was speaking to David, but David still didn't dare to let go of his hands, and still looked at him with some uncertainty. Mickey.

"I'm fine!" Mickey said again word for word, David hesitated, and slowly let go of his hands. Such a scene was really joyful. Cole sat across from him solemnly, but he was already laughing from the bottom of his heart. Mickey stared at Lance intently, "What the hell do you mean?"

Lance didn't answer immediately, but took his briefcase to the table in a leisurely manner, then took out the laptop inside, and after turning it on, he looked at Mickey, "It literally means " Cole couldn't help but glanced sideways at Lance - Lance clearly knew how to provoke others, "If you want to play the role of Ma Fu, you must not only be tough enough, strong enough, brave enough, but also have a good character. I don’t want a facial palsy full of muscles—otherwise Arnold-Schwarzenegger or Dwayne Johnson would be a better choice.”

Cole couldn't bear to look directly, and Lance definitely knew how to provoke people, because he could already see Mickey's fists clenched again.

But Lance didn't seem to realize it at all, and then said, "You're afraid, you're repelling, you're terrified. I'm not sure why, but I don't mind ending today's session now if you don't think you're up to it." audition."

"...Mr. Strelo." David started, he tried to find a suitable address, and finally chose this honorific - unknowingly, David had gotten rid of "Mickey is the first choice" The idea of ​​​​putting myself in a lower position, I want to work hard to win the role of "Sin City".

Lancelot plus the Coen brothers, plus Frank Miller, this is an irresistible proposal, even if it is only a supporting role, even if the pay is reduced, he will win for Mickey.

"Mickey's condition is a little unstable today. His Chihuahua Rocky is sick..." Mickey suddenly turned his head and gave David a look. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that David was talking nonsense, but Lance and Ke David didn't even poke him, but David didn't seem to notice Mickey's gaze, "Rocky is like his family, so he's always worried. But trust me, he's ready, he's definitely not will disappoint you."

Lance shrugged and didn't respond positively, "We'll get there." Then, Lance turned to look at Mickey, "Are you sure you want to continue?"

Mickey stared at Lance, his ferocious face was a bit ferocious, and it was difficult for the clumsy facial muscles to make a rich expression, and the twitching muscles in the stiffness became more and more terrifying. This reminded Lance of Muffle—Muff had several patches on his face, and each patch was a medal from a previous battle, so that his facial expression was also monotonous and hideous.

"Just let me see what you have!" Mickey said viciously.

In the list of Mickey's co-directors, you can see the names of Francis Ford Coppola, Michael Cimino and Barry Levinson. Director Jin naturally didn't have much deterrent effect on him.

Lance didn't mind Mickey's attitude, so he turned the computer directly to Mickey, which made Mickey stunned. Lance handed over the earplugs, "Look at this video first, and then we'll talk. This It's the opening sequence I shot for the movie, and that's the first scene you walk into the theater."

"Did you shoot the opening credits for the movie?" Mickey looked very surprised. This is really a very bold move, but at the same time, it can be seen that Lance's creative philosophy is very clear and firm.

Lance was noncommittal, Mickey took the earplugs, put the earplugs the size of a peanut grain into his ears, and clicked the play button. David, who was sitting by the side, originally wanted to chat with Cole. After all, he is just an agent. He doesn't know much about movies, and he doesn't need to know too much - Lance and the Coen Brothers' signature are enough. , but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black and white image, which surprised David.

In today's Hollywood, shooting in black and white is almost a dead end. What the hell is Lance doing!

David looked over, and then saw Kate Beckinsale's thrilling flaming red lips, and he couldn't look away.

In a blink of an eye, the three-minute video ended. David raised his eyes to look at Lance, flashing the light of the stormy sea, as if he couldn't believe what he saw at all, and the powerful impact almost made him lose his composure. Mickey, who was sitting next to him, remained expressionless, but he couldn't tell whether he was really expressionless, or his face was too stiff to show any emotion.

Mickey supported his chin with his right hand, and seemed to be in deep thought. Lance was not in a hurry, and leaned back in the chair leisurely. The scent of coffee in the room seemed peaceful and far away, which made the restlessness settle down. Then Mickey raised his head and looked at Lance attentively and seriously, "Just now you said that this character is called Muffle? You said The role is a tough challenge, isn't it?"

It can be seen from this statement that, if nothing else, the role of Muffle will be played by Mickey.

However, Lance was not too excited. Mu Fu is the protagonist of "A Difficult Farewell", and in a sense, it is also the most important part of the whole movie. Lance needs Mickey to show the mixed temperament of evil and softness behind the character. The kind of disgusting and kind-hearted clock tower is not what Lance is after. Muffle is undoubtedly a bad guy, and his only persistence is just for Goldie—because Goldie brought a moment of warmth to his heart.

"This is a scarred character. He is brutal, bloody, and vicious. Every wound on his face represents a battle. He is born ugly, so he is always ridiculed and ridiculed. So he used Thunder Fight back with the means to teach those who laugh at him a lesson, and if necessary, he doesn't mind getting blood on his hands at all." This is the result of the discussion between Lance and Frank.

In the original comics, Muffle is actually evil and kind. He just looks fierce, but in fact he doesn’t hurt others, but people always keep his distance from him. It’s like someone lost something in the classroom. The first suspect is always Negro, and he was always the second suspect. This makes Muffle very irritable, responding irritably to every oppression of society.

Now Lance makes the character more evil, an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye. When others laugh at him, he will never be stingy to fight back, so that his hands are stained red with blood. Lance intends to use special effects makeup technology to create a scarred face for Mickey, and at the same time, the blood stains between the palms and fingers that have dried up and turned into dirt will be his medals.

"But for a woman, he embarked on the road of seeking revenge. He is not kind, nor is he soft, just..." Before Lance finished speaking, Mickey took over, "He just has his own Persist." Langston paused, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then nodded, "Yes. Therefore, this role requires a very delicate performance, and I need the role to be cruel enough. The only persistence almost no one can see It must be felt by the audience, but it must be felt by the audience. Therefore, this puts forward very difficult requirements for the performance, especially the line skills."

Lance looked at Mickey's cheeks. Due to the large amount of hyaluronic acid, it was difficult for Mickey to make a delicate expression-this was consistent with Ma Fu, so Mickey could only perform through his eyes and lines. The problem is that the light and shadow effects of "Sin City" are too eye-catching, and the eye effects will be weakened, and more often they will be shadowed, so the line skills are very important.

"This is not an easy task. You are my first choice, but not the only choice." Lance's words stopped short, without continuing, and then left a lot of blank space for Mickey to think.

Mickey was silent. He clearly knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only because the stylization of the movie was eye-catching, but also because he could feel that the role Lance said was tailor-made for him.

How ironic his life is, at first he received attention because of his appearance and was considered an idol, even if he had acting skills, people always paid more attention to his appearance; I missed countless opportunities, encountered countless cold receptions, and was always floating between the third line and the second line, as if I could never see the sun again.

But now, he finally received a decent work and a decent role, but he suddenly began to feel a little scared: What if he had lost the sense of acting and couldn't meet Lance's requirements? What if I can't interpret the depth of the character at all and ruin the character? If I messed up the opportunity I got this time, wouldn't the future end here?

That worry about gains and losses made Mickey silent.

David sat aside, feeling a little anxious. He wanted Mickey to take over, and he even wanted to speak instead of Mickey and directly agree, but he couldn't help it. David couldn't help pinching his slippery palm, feeling that he was going to be out of breath.

The passage of time began to speed up, and five minutes passed in a blink of an eye. Lance's voice broke the silence, "I don't care about your past, and I don't care about your future. What I care about is that you Can you play the role of Marv well? If not, please tell me, I still have time to choose other actors.” There is no anger, no ridicule, no ridicule, just telling a fact in a straightforward manner, without any surprise.

Mickey raised his head and looked at those blue eyes that looked like oceans. After being silent for about three seconds, he slammed his clenched right fist hard on the table, "I'll take it!"
