Chapter 72

"The adaptation of the ending is inconsistent with the original."

Ang Lee has seen the original work many times. The movies he wants are more beautiful than the western cowboy style... Cough, love.

The cruel ending in Tracy's play is not what he wants at present, but it is really worth thinking about.

"Let's not talk about the original. What are we going to express in making this film? Don't tell me those messy things. I'm not a child. I can understand the content of the book.

However, is it meaningful to shoot only according to the original work? After all, the novel is a novel, which is far from reality. We should respect the facts. Jack and Ennis won't have good results in that environment at that time.

In the year when Brokeback Mountain was published, an event happened in Wyoming. A student named Matthew at the University of Wyoming, because he was gay, was beaten on the iron net by an enemy murderer. After a few days and nights, no one paid attention to him and died... "

It was an event that shocked the whole country. Later, it was put on stage and television.

Tracy finished and stopped talking. Ang Lee was silent and was a little flustered. He drank a cup of coffee and read Tracy's script in his hand again.

Tracy didn't bother him and waited for the big director to change slowly. This spiritual change should be an opportunity for Ang Lee, a process of nominating a director to become an award-winning director.

To be honest, the project of Brokeback Mountain is undoubtedly a hot potato. How many people in the industry can take it next and complete it under the pressure of public opinion.

Ang Lee is undoubtedly the bravest one. Tracy just knew it would succeed and stole the fruits of victory in advance.

The obstacles and risks must be borne by the gentle director.

He paid for Tracy and was attacked by the public under the pressure of public opinion. Ang Lee carried it.

This is the reality of the industry. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

Ang Lee must have considered these problems, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to the door.

The biggest behind the scenes winner is Tracy. As long as he pays to settle some things, a boutique and huge revenue will be in his arms.

It's not easy to pretend to be 13 in front of the big director. Tracy's statement is still vague.

However, even so, what he said can also resonate in each other's hearts.

Ang Lee put down the script and looked a little dignified. "I think you're right. If you want the whole film to have more impact on people's hearts, you must uncover the cruel facts. This open ending is really shocking."

Tracy smiled. It was a success. He installed a 13 in front of the big director.

He was very satisfied with this result. The premise of win-win cooperation must achieve ideological unity. If there are differences of opinion, it is difficult for the two sides to coexist peacefully.

Tracy called Longman Walker and asked him to get the actor's information. Then he smiled and said to Ang Lee, "next, let's talk about the candidates for the leading role. I've selected some young actors for you to see later."

"Ah?"

Tracy's mind suddenly changed to the actors, Ang Lee was a little surprised. He didn't seem to have talked to Tracy about cooperation. Why did he suddenly choose actors.

"Do you mean to allow me to join the project to guide the film?"

"I don't think there is a better candidate."

Ang Lee reacted to the meaning of his words and asked Tracy indefinitely.

Tracy immediately gave a positive answer. Close the network quickly. At this time, set the tone of cooperation quickly so that the other party will not react and add additional conditions.

"Thank you."

Ang Lee thanked him sincerely. Tracy stood up and signaled the other party not to do so.

After a while, general manager Longman Walker came in with the actor information Tracy needed.

Tracy introduced them, and they sat down after saluting each other.

Tracy spread out four actor materials and said, "Jack Gyllenhaal starred in the film for the first time in 1999 and was nominated for the best actor of the independent spirit award with the illusion of death in 2001. He is young, handsome and powerful. I think he is suitable to play cowboy Jack Chester, one of the male hosts.

Heath Ledger, who appeared in a TV series in 1997, was nominated for the best film actor in the third youth Choice Award for his wonderful performance in the Jihad knight in 2001. His temperament I think is suitable for playing Ennis Delma, an introverted and multilingual man.

Anne Hathaway and Michelle Williams, the former has a good performance in the princess diary, and the latter is a child star with good acting skills, which is suitable for playing the wives of two men. "

Tracy briefly introduced it. Ang Lee picked up the information and looked at it.

Tracy's choice of handsome men and beautiful women still quite meet his needs for male and female protagonists. After all, his idea is to make the film as beautiful as possible.

But, a little surprised, how Tracy picked out these people. Good looks and some acting skills are not uncommon in Hollywood. Why only choose these four people? Is there any deep meaning.

Li Anyu glanced at the smiling Tracy and listened to him continue: "of course, you are the director, who is the final choice. I'll give you the selected actor as a reference. I'm sure you will be satisfied.

The project budget you listed is about 12 million US dollars, I can add it to 15 million US dollars to 20 million US dollars, and I can invest another 10 million US dollars in the later publicity. As long as the project is carried out smoothly, I won't be stingy with the US dollars in my hand. I'll put up the name of a producer. You have the word in the crew. If there are other requirements, we can negotiate again. "

With favorable conditions, absolute control and sufficient funds, no director will refuse these.

Ang Lee nodded thoughtfully and agreed to Tracy's plan.

He looked at Jack Gyllenhaal's profile, looked up at Tracy and looked at him for a long time.

Being looked at by a middle-aged man, Tracy felt a little hairy. He coughed to ease his embarrassment and said, "if you don't have any opinions, they can sign an intention contract first."

"Yes," said Ang Lee, still looking at Tracy with a smile in his eyes, but he said seriously, "I have an opinion."

"Oh? You said."

"Are you interested in playing a leading role? Your image is more in line with my imagination of Jack Drizzt. Why don't you try it on."

"What?"

"You play Jack Drizzt," Ang Lee said seriously, making sure he wasn't kidding.

There are 10000 MMP in my heart. I don't know what to say.

Tracy's face has a rich expression. I don't know how to say, the big director who is more complex than his brain circuit.

Longman Walker stood watching the play, his eyes shining, as if Ang Lee's proposal was good.

"When you play this role, you will not only save some expenses, but also be a great gimmick. Think about it, young billionaires and idol writers play... Well, love movies are on the big screen for the first time. With your physical condition, you can complete your task as long as you train two or three bullfighting skills. As for acting skills, there is no better understanding of this role than you. Acting skills can be carved slowly ....”

"Stop... I won't play."
