Chapter 71

In the office of the chairman of the film industry, Tracy sat at his desk, looked through the documents, looked at the computer and drank coffee from time to time.

Rosie's latte is very appetizing. The milk is just put in. It doesn't destroy the mellow taste of coffee, and it won't be so bitter.

Seeing the bottom of a cup of coffee, Tracy asked Rosie to come in and help him make another cup, and brought a cup to Ang Lee, the great director who had been sitting on the sofa and waiting for nearly 20 minutes.

"Director Ang Lee, rosichong's latte is not bad. Would you like a drink, too?"

This is the first thing Tracy said to Ang Lee since he entered the door. Just now, he was thinking about Ang Lee rather than working.

Look at the character and patience of the Chinese American director. If the other party is acute, it's easy to deal with and eat him.

But if the other party is very calm, like just now, Tracy cools him for 20 minutes and the other party doesn't say a word, it's a headache.

This kind of person is often ready and stable in the Diaoyutai. It is inevitable that there will be some exchange of interests when dealing with him.

However, Tracy has his own way for such people.

In fact, Tracy thinks a little too much. Ang Lee is not as calm as he seems. He just hides it better.

"Thank you." Ang Lee nodded with a smile, a little implicit.

I have to say that his Qi Nourishing skills are really good. He is already worried, but he won't show it on his face.

It is reasonable to say that Ang Lee, who won seven Oscar nominations for reason and emotion in 1995 and the best foreign language film Oscar for crouching tiger, hidden dragon in 1999, is already a first-line director in Hollywood.

He shouldn't care too much, the boss of a small film company like Tracy. You can call your agent to negotiate.

However, he didn't do that. This time, he came to the door in person and offered himself.

There is no other reason. Ang Lee attaches too much importance to Brokeback Mountain. Like Tracy, this is also his ambition.

He had been preparing for the project Brokeback Mountain for a year or two, but he was suddenly cut off at the source. It was impossible to say that he was not angry.

But now is not the time to be angry. Tracy's unkind practice can only slander him in his heart.

If it weren't for cooperation, I'm afraid I wouldn't give Tracy a good face.

Tracy didn't rob other people's things at all, and she was embarrassed.

Like an old friend, he sat beside him, opened the cigar box on the tea table, took out a cigar and handed it to Ang Lee, "do you need it? High-grade goods from Cuba."

"Thank you." Ang Lee still smiled, but this time he shook his head and was obviously not interested in cigars.

Tracy shrugged, picked up the match, lit the fire, roasted the cigar, and then, as usual, just smelled it.

Ang Lee took out a lot of information from his bag at this time. This is his preparation for Brokeback Mountain in the past two years. It is also an important tool to talk about cooperation with Tracy today.

"Mr. Li, this is the script I prepared for the project of Brokeback Mountain, including lens script and scene design..."

Ang Lee can't wait to talk about cooperation with him.

Unfortunately, Rosie came in with coffee and interrupted him.

At this time, out of politeness, Ang Lee had to stop temporarily, thank Rosie who brought the coffee, and wait until she left.

"Mr. Li, I came to my destination today..."

At this time, Tracy got up, came to his desk and took out the script he brought today. Ang Lee just spoke, and his words failed again.

Tracy took the script, came to him and handed it to him.

"I know your purpose very well. Just call me Tracy. Don't be too polite. You are also Mr. Li, and I am also Mr. Li. It's too easy to mix together. Here are the script I wrote and some sub scenes. Come and have a look."

Tracy speaks to Ang Lee and naturally turns it into Chinese. Ang Lee will not be surprised why he speaks Chinese well. He has known Tracy's family background before and can speak Chinese is normal.

The change of Tracy's language will only make him feel more cordial.

"OK, Tracy." Ang Lee took Tracy's script materials and read them. He really thought that Tracy had the same preparation as him.

Tracy also began to look through the information he had prepared.

The room was instantly quiet, and they really looked at the information in front of them.

About ten or twenty minutes later. Tracy stopped first. He took a long breath and slowly digested the content.

Ang Lee is worthy of Ang Lee. He has considered it well and comprehensively.

Tracy couldn't help sighing.

The big director really didn't get a false reputation. He didn't pick up the content according to the original film, which was not as comprehensive as others had prepared.

In the materials prepared by Ang Lee, all aspects were considered in detail, including the budget.

Clothing, scenes, historical issues and so on are all explained in it.

With these materials, I'm afraid anyone who does this project will not shoot too badly.

Tracy couldn't help but look at this modest middle-aged man. He admired each other. After all, success is not accidental. There must be a lot of effort behind it.

Ang Lee, who was concentrating on reading the materials, didn't notice Tracy's eyes.

The look on his face was changing all the time. He began to be indifferent, but the later he went, the more shocked he was.

Tracy took a sip of coffee and waited for Ang Lee to put down the information before she said, "director Li, Brokeback Mountain can be given to you for guidance, but I want to know your true view of the same sex."

Tracy has seen the film several times and pulled out the script. His eyes were mostly on the bodies of Anne Hathaway and Michelle Williams.

However, the picture of the two male protagonists in the film can't be ignored. He was curious about how Ang Lee did it.

In Brokeback Mountain, the performances of Reese ledger and Jack Gyllenhaal completely crush the two women. They perfectly show the true feelings between the same people, which once made fans think that men are true love.

The actor's performance is inseparable from the director's adjustment. The film can show this effect. The director's skill accounts for a great reason.

Tracy even wondered if Ang Lee would be a gay.

"Jack died at last?" Ang Lee looked blankly, thinking he didn't hear Tracy at all.

After repeating this sentence, he grabbed Tracy's script and read it.

"Why did Jack die?"

Ang Lee with some magic obstacles suddenly looked up and asked Tracy.

"Ah?" Tracy was blinded. Ang Lee handed him the story of Jack's death on the page of the script. "Can you tell me what you think? Why did you write him dead in the end?"

Tracy took a look and understood what he was asking. This is the tragedy at the end.

Jack Drizzt, played by Jack Harlan gill, died unexpectedly at the end. Ennis, played by Heath Ledger, was devastated when he received the relics left by Jack.

If this ending is an ordinary love film, it's really cruel. Two people who love each other end up with a boundless life and death.

However, this film has great irony, which shows the social resistance to homosexuality at that time, that is, everyone has to die.

Jack's death is actually an open answer. In the film, Jack's wife said he died in an accident, but the film is interspersed with the scene of jack being beaten.

This part is absolutely a masterstroke, which improves the significance of the whole film to a higher level.

Ang Lee suddenly asked Tracy this question. Tracy was certainly confused, because the result was originally written by Ang Lee.

Now Ang Lee doesn't seem to have thought of this ending. As for when he came to the inspiration and finally changed the result to this, it's unknown.

How do I know? Why did you write him to death.

Tracy had a headache and had to make it up. "Director Li, don't you think Jack's death is very shocking..."

He looked at Ang Lee unfathomably and looked at the other party's reaction, so as to continue to make up.
