Chapter 1036

It's one of the main themes of Hollywood.

Every year, thousands of works will be put into production in Hollywood and the film industry all over the world. Excellent directors, excellent scripts and excellent actors make every work full of confidence, expectation and yearning in the preparatory stage.

But the problem is that an actor is lack of skills, and can only play one work at a time, which also means that they will inevitably miss other excellent works.

In the sixties and seventies, there was a lot of drama in the Hollywood film industry; Even now, top actors appear in different groups at the same time, playing the leading role. It is not common, but it also exists objectively.

But in lanli's view, it is irresponsible for the crew, the performance and the role to play the leading role in both works at the same time.

Because the mood, state and style of the two different works are quite different, even the commercial popcorn movie is no exception. When an actor appears on two sets at the same time, he not only needs to face the crisis of precise division, but also needs to arrange the schedule and cooperate with the crew. This is a serious problem, which will eventually lead to the decline of the quality of the characters and works.

Therefore, it is inevitable to miss and pass by.

In the face of the sincere Coen brothers, lanli also showed his sincerity, patiently explained all the details, and sincerely expressed his stranglehold. "To be honest, after the brief exchange just now, I also think that I am the best person for this work."

The strong self-confidence revealed in the smile shows lanli's professionalism as an actor. Compared with the new people who were full of expectations during the "Pacific War", he has gradually transformed into a real professional actor.

Ethan couldn't help smiling and nodding in agreement; But Joel's face was still very ugly. He couldn't even smile. He looked at Lan Li sadly and refused to express any opinions.

"I would like to say, please wait for my schedule and don't give this role to others, because I am the best choice. But I can't be so selfish. So, I have to refuse. At this moment, I feel more sad than you Blue Li's smile was stained with a touch of helplessness, did not hide his wrist and regret.

Ethan quietly looked at Lan Li's eyes. His dark brown eyes didn't dodge or hide. He calmly showed all his emotions. The faint sigh made him feel the same.

Interestingly, just because of this look, Ethan's mind has outlined the image of the movie hero. It's like a sketch. At the beginning of writing, the outline of the eyes is drawn, and then the lines are gradually filled, gradually the whole image is depicted, and finally life is given to the image, which is vivid.

In lanli's body, Ethan can even see the specific picture of the movie: he just sits quietly on the chair in the coffee shop, his eyes looking at the distance, vaguely absent-minded, a wisp of light flowing through the bottom of his eyes, lonely and bitter, but with a blink of an eye, those emotions just disappear like butterflies, leaving only a single figure, Sitting in silence.

Those sincere, perceptive, pure and simple in the heart gradually become vicissitudes in the long river of time.

There is an impulse in his mind. Ethan wants to make a film, a film called "inside Renly hall", which is not a biographical documentary, but a down and out folk singer named Lanley hall. In the 1960s, in Greenwich Village, he did nothing, was penniless and pursued his dream, but could not see where his dream was.

Their original idea of the film really evolved into reality in the body of Langley.

"Is there no way?" Joel's unwilling words rang in his ears, and he was still struggling with his reluctant attachment. "Can't you spare some time? Or... Or, er, adjust the schedule? " But after saying it, without answering, Joel hugged his head in chagrin. "God, why? Damn it

He scratched his head and messed up his curly hair. Joel lowered his head deeply, then jerked his head up. "Why don't we wait for your time..." but the words didn't go on. He turned to Ethan and showed his deep helplessness.

First there is the "tragic world" and then there is the "gravity". The schedule of Langley can't be determined at all. Even if we wait, we don't know when we will wait. It's like waiting for Godot, waiting for an uncertain future. There are too many variables in the process.

In Hollywood, it takes time for any film project to be established, implemented, operated and completed. If we miss the present opportunity, everything will become unknown.

In fact, the classic "training day" in 2001 had been set up as early as 1997. However, because the schedule of performances of Samuel Jackson and Matt Damon could not match, they had to postpone and continue to wait.

This is more than three years, the director changed, the script changed, the actors also changed, the entire crew has completed the shuffle, almost beyond recognition, and finally Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke starred in this work, the former also won the Oscar for his superb performance.

It's been three years, but it's not uncommon in Hollywood. It's not uncommon to wait for ten or fifteen years, or even never see the light, after missing the opportunity.

At the beginning of the "gravity" project, Alfonso Caron said that he was willing to wait for lenley's schedule, no matter how long. In a way, it also showed Alfonso's innocence of not listening to things outside the window. He didn't understand the operation rules of Hollywood at all.

Now, the Cohen brothers, who came from an independent field but have a firm foothold in the mainstream market, are much more sophisticated. They understand that they can't shelve the whole project just to wait for a blue rite. It's not a question of which is right or wrong. Alfonso and the Cohen brothers have made the right decisions, and they need to bear the corresponding consequences for their own decisions.

Joel turned his head and looked at Ethan. There was a helpless loss in his eyes. It was hard to speak. Although he didn't open his mouth, his eyes could not understand any more: is there no other way? Do we just give up?

Ethan noticed his brother's sight, turned around, pursed his lips, pulled out a smile, and responded; Then he looked at Lan Li again.

Only after the real face-to-face contact, the unique temperament of lanli becomes real. People ignore his age and just pay attention to the actor. They can't help but want to tap more details and potential in him. At this time, even if they just sit quietly, their eyes are also telling the story.

As never before, Ethan hopes to work with Langley to make a film. If it's the one that's being prepared now, it's no better.

If possible, Ethan also wants to be willful, regardless of the whole project, the entire crew, just to wait for a blue gift, until the cooperation is reached. But he can't.

There are thousands of actors in Hollywood, and no one is indispensable. Even if the Coen Brothers believe that Langley is the most suitable candidate, there are still countless choices outside Langley. They should jump out of the rut, broaden their horizons and think about more possibilities.

Reason makes an accurate judgment, but emotion is still difficult to accept.

Looking at the blue Li with regret in his eyes, Ethan was dumbfounded and full of helplessness; However, Ethan also knows that the emotional Joel is not willing to give up, so he must stand up and make the right decision.

"You know, you are our first choice, and at this stage, the only choice, right?" Ethan said sincerely.

The smile on the corner of blue Li's mouth rose gently. "It's my pleasure." Instead of being modest, he accepted the praise.

"It's important." "It's a pity that we didn't take the schedule into consideration. We ignored such an obvious thing. It was a mistake," Ethan said positively Recently, everyone is paying attention to the trend of Lanley's next work, but it is obvious that Alfonso Caron has made the first step, "but... Life will continue after all, there are always accidents happening, or about to happen."

Ethan spread out his hands, a face of relief, people can not help but think of the "ice blood storm", "murder green toe" and other works of black humor, the spirit of hard work, people can not help but laugh.

Lan Li couldn't help smiling.

"Just now, you mentioned George strand. That's the name, right? And pioneer villages? Why do I think these names sound so familiar? Can you remind me? " Ethan did not continue to entangle in the same issue, but raised another topic of interest, and continued the conversation.

"Drunken folk" and blue - hall, so missed, regret and strangle, but ultimately can not change. If you slow down a step, you will slow down a step. The opportunity is not able to step on the right node.

"The Pioneer Village is in Greenwich Village, it's a jazz bar..." Langley understood the deep meaning of Ethan's words in an instant, followed the topic, took the initiative to talk about Stanley Charlson and his jazz dream, and stubbornly opened up his own world in the steel forest of New York.

However, Joel, sitting next to him, was depressed. He put his hands on his chest and leaned heavily against the back of the chair. He refused to speak and communicate. He fell into his own thoughts. He was extremely excited to the extreme indifference. The extreme contrast between ice and fire was too obvious. On the contrary, it was childish.

The conversation in the carriage continued. After the ups and downs of passion, the atmosphere began to be harmonious. Even though the cooperation failed to be reached this time, the two sides unexpectedly made friends - at least Ethan and Langley; The van sped smoothly and quickly towards Kennedy Airport, gradually disappearing into the turbulent traffic on the road.
