"Because we think you're the most suitable person for the role."

This sentence is like a cookie-cutter phrase that can be used in any actor or any character. Evan Bell was a little disappointed when Scott Joy said this. Scott-Joy still hasn't figured out Evan Bell's personality after all. It's also a polite speech. If Scott-Joy chooses "because we think this role is very challenging, I hope you will find more that belongs to the role. Color", although it is also a scene, but it is undoubtedly more suitable for Evan Bell's personality.

The phrase "the most suitable candidate for this role" means that the actor has an inherent color, and this color and the role are figured out, which often means that the challenge is weakened or even lost. It is very likely that it is a role that the actor forgets to play a role that is similar to the one he has figured out. So, this is a role that has no appeal for Evan Bell.

Even the polite words in social occasions are very important. In the first confrontation of today's meeting, Scott Joy was flippant.

"This story is called 'Night Banquet'. This is the script. If you allow, let Qiu introduce the plot to you. "Scott Joy handed over the script, and after receiving a nod from Teddy Bell, Qiu Anping began to introduce the outline of the story.

As expected by Evan Bell, the Hamlet story that took place in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is the "Night Banquet". This Chinese-style Hamlet, directed by Feng Xiaogang. When it was released in 2006, it still failed to get rid of the fate of blockbusters like "Wuji" and "Golden Armor in the City". Actually all the time. Narratives are director Feng Xiaogang's strengths, and he thinks that he can no longer commit other commercial blockbusters and only focus on special effects and scenes. Instead, it ignores the most important core of the film. But something unexpected. This is exactly what happened. The biggest failure of "Night Banquet" lies in the procrastination and paleness of the narrative and the nondescriptness of the dialogue. The complex and profound human story born out of "Hamlet" was wiped out by the uncontrolled and repeated rendering of the superficial emotions, leaving only the so-called "darkness" and "gloomy" in form. It doesn't fit into the storyline at all.

A movie doesn't have a good story, at least it should have a clear and concise one. The reason why the script of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" Evan Bell has been changed again and again. It is because Jerry Bruckheimer blindly pursued the grandeur of the scene, but instead made the storyline chaotic and complicated, losing the original charm of the story. The same thing happened to "Public Enemy Mechanical", a great story that suffered from a fault created by the protagonist, resulting in a decline in the overall quality. This is a pity, but fortunately it was finally on the advice of Evan Bell. "Mechanical Enemy" avoided the mistakes of the previous life.

In fact, commercial blockbusters have been criticized in terms of storylines, whether it is China, the United States, or other countries. For example, the "Transformers" series, which was a hit at the box office in the past lifetime, the first part was excellent, so people had high expectations for the second and third parts, but the bad story of the last two episodes also made people Even the most die-hard fans were left disappointed. The box-office victory can't hide the paleness of the story. Another example is "Avatar", this super special effects commercial blockbuster, although there is no special new idea in the story, but a simple and clear story, there is a point-to-point depiction of the male protagonist's psychological transformation process, and then focus on the In terms of special effects, the result has created a new history at the box office.

Therefore, commercial blockbuster does not mean that there is no need for stories, it just relaxes the standard in terms of in-depth discussion of stories. The story of Hamlet is reminiscent of Shakespeare's writings to this day, and the adapted film version also runs through the entire twentieth century, in which the description of the psychological changes of the hero Hamlet is very important. That kind of hatred, darkness, and gloom does not become sad by saying "I'm sad" through the lines, but needs to be brought out by the whole plot and character relationships. And "Night Banquet" was not able to do it at this point. The protracted and pale narrative rhythm makes the whole story lose its charm.

"We just want you to play the role of the prince." Qiu Anping was obviously prepared to explain the story, and he told it fluently. After understanding the outline of the story, they hoped that Evan Bell would play the role of Shang Wu Yanzu played the role of Prince Wuluan in a lifetime movie. In other words, it is the character of Shakespeare's Hamlet.

After Qiu Anping introduced the outline of the story, Scott Joy found that Evan Bell was reading the script he just handed over, but took over the topic after Qiu Anping to avoid making the conference room quiet. "So, Bell, do you understand Chinese?"

Evan Bell did not look up. Teddy Bell, who was sitting next to him, said with a smile, "He likes to read books when he is not free, including Chinese books. He once read the original versions of 'Thunderstorm' and 'Four Generations in the Same Class'" But I don't have that patience. "

At this time, Evan Bell, who was reading the script, couldn't help but smile. It was only an arc at the beginning, and in less than a while, Evan Bell couldn't help laughing directly. In the last life, Evan Bell did not actually enter the theater to watch the "Night Banquet", but he watched a lot of funny versions of the lines of this movie on the Internet. Now that he actually saw the script, Evan Bell discovered that this kind of The feeling of wanting to laugh is really hard to restrain.

In fact, Evan Bell knows that watching a script of a main drama and laughing, this is a kind of disrespect to the screenwriter. What's more, Qiu Anping, a participant in the script, was sitting in front of him, but Evan Bell had to say that the way of writing and dialogue in the script was too funny. He tried to hold back, but failed.

In terms of dialogue, this script is really a bit nondescript. The mixed way of speaking in vernacular and classical Chinese, as well as sentences combining East and West, were planted in a court environment of five dynasties and ten kingdoms. When he saw the sentence "Did the flame of revenge bring you through the valley of death, or did your melancholy bring you back to a woman?" Evan Bell couldn't help but laughed out loud.

"Sorry. My Chinese is not very good. I have to jump and jump to read the article, so I feel that the lines are a bit strange." Evan Bell put down the script, restrained his smile, and said seriously. These words made the three people sitting opposite suddenly realize that they were very understandable, after all, they were foreigners. As for what Teddy Bell said just now, they were automatically ignored.

But Teddy Bell looked puzzled and couldn't help but glance at Evan Bell. Others don't know, Teddy Bell naturally knows it. In fact, the two brothers have no problem reading Chinese. Teddy Bell's spoken English is relatively poor. Therefore, as soon as Evan Bell said this, Teddy Bell was immediately full of question marks. However, he didn't ask, but took the script and glanced at it. After only reading a few lines, Teddy Bell's expression became weird, and he put the script back on the table.

"Qiu, I still can't take this script, I'm sorry." Evan Bell quickly jumped back to the topic, "but I still want to thank you for making a special trip to find me. It's my honor."

"Why?" Qiu Anping asked in a hurry, grabbing in front of Scott Joy.

Evan Bell couldn't help laughing, "Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?" In fact, it was because the other party was Chinese that Evan Bell said this. If it was another script, it is estimated that there would be no meeting today. . Such a script is indeed worthless.

Qiu Anping didn't seem to understand why Evan Bell said this. He couldn't help but glance at Scott Joy. Scott Joy quickly asked, "Why?" There was no direct answer to Evan Bell's words.

Evan Bell knew what he should say, "As Teddy told you before, I'm currently preparing for the movie 'Perfume'. The time really can't be arranged. It is estimated that there will be no time within half a year." This is A lie is also a scene, but it is also a truth, because it is indeed the truth.

"//The fastest text update in Shumilou - No Ads//Is this the truth or a lie?" Scott-Joy was stunned and couldn't help asking.

Evan Bell glanced at Qiu Anping, and Qiu Anping also understood, "Sir, what is the truth?"

"Qiu, in any movie, the story is the most important This is my personal opinion. I think, if there is no good story, no matter how grand the scene, no matter how luxurious the cast, and no matter the special effects. Wonderful, but still empty. The story of Hamlet is not as empty as this script. Lonely, it will be really lonely if you don't talk about lines." Evan Bell said with a smile. The Chinese-style commercial blockbuster has never been successful, and the lack of the story itself is a problem that cannot be ignored. It's just that Evan Bell doesn't know whether his words can have any effect.

Looking at Qiu Anping who was dazed in front of him, Evan Bell did not continue to speak. Since "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the 73rd Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, Chinese films have been pursuing the second Oscar statuette, but if there is no way to make a breakthrough in the story, then it is destined to be Flowers and water moon in the mirror.

After Evan Bell's rebirth, the fourth intimate contact with Chinese movies ended like this. Whether there will be contact in the future, Evan Bell does not know, but according to the memory of Evan Bell in his last life, it is estimated that there is no chance.

The guests from far east China left Prince Street like this. It's just that Qiu Anping, Zhang Chunxiao, and Scott Joy left their impressions of the meeting, it is unknown.
