Paul Thomas Anderson, born in 1970, is considered to be the most talented director among the new generation of directors, and he is also recognized as the most handsome director in the United States. Even if he becomes an actor, his handsome face is not lost to Others, after Ben Affleck also picked up the guide tube, had some controversy over the title of the most handsome director in the world. www.)

Of course, as a director, Paul Thomas Anderson's fame is not his face, but his directing talent. In 1997, he directed the second feature film "Boogie Nights", which made him famous and won the Oscar nominations for Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress; 1999's "Magnolia" is a masterpiece , in addition to winning the Berlin Golden Bear that year, and then "Babel Tower", "Crash" and other works are regarded as "imitation works"; in 2002 "Love Lost Head" won him the best director at the Cannes Film Festival. Award... This is an absolute directorial genius.

Paul Thomas Anderson, who produced as little as Charlie Kaufman, only made two films in his last life after 2007, "There Will Be Blood" and "The Master", the former being Daniel Day-Lewis He won the Best Actor Oscar, and the latter won Best Director and Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival.

It can be seen that Paul Thomas Anderson is outstanding. And "The Blood Will Come" was adapted from the work "Petroleum". It is equivalent to saying that the work Evan Bell is adapting is the future "Blood Will Come", which is really a delicate situation.

First, should Evan Bell invite Paul Thomas Anderson to direct? Second, Daniel Day-Lewis, an old actor who is recognized as deserved to get more actor statues, should Evan Bell continue to invite him to act in the same way as he did in his previous life? Will Daniel Day-Lewis play again?

At that time, Evan Bell's adaptation work was almost completed, and he couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. When he was adapting it before, Evan Bell completely forgot about it. The most important reason was that he had not seen the work "The Blood Will Come" in his last life. The two works "No Country for Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood" were recognized as the two heroes of the awards season, but Evan Bell had only watched "No Country for Old Men", but "There Will Be Blood" never entered the cinema, so he only remembered Daniel -Dai-Lewis relied on the actor to get his second best actor statue. Others do not know. When editing, I didn't remember it for a while.

In fact, Evan Bell has won a lot of confidence in the director's position. His talent in directing is recognized as even beyond the actor's position. He currently holds the best director in Venice and the best director in Cannes." The outstanding performance of the film "Perfume" is a testament to Evan Bell's strength.

But "Perfume" was directed by Tom Tykwer all his life. It's just Tom Tykeway, and the director of "The Blood Will Come" is Paul Thomas Anderson, a peerless wizard, Evan Bell has the ability to surpass Tom Tykeway and make "perfume" a classic, So does he have the ability to surpass Paul Thomas Anderson and make the "Blood Will Come" classic in his last life into another classic?

In this regard, Evan Bell, who has always been confident and calm, was shaken for the first time.

It's not that Evan Bell is not confident enough. But he has enough self-knowledge. Just like the steps of an actor, Evan Bell has taken one step at a time, until today. Only then can he have such amazing performances in "Brokeback Mountain" and "Perfume".

The director's position is the same, starting from "The Notebook", "Mysterious Skin", "Little Sunshine", "Perfume", and then to "Wild Survival", which has not yet been released, Evan Bell is also working hard, but These works are all works that failed to reach a certain height in the previous life and were revived in the hands of Evan Bell. Even the "most famous" "Little Sunshine" was not nominated for the Oscar for Best Director in the previous life. so. Evan Bell has been working hard all the time.

But what about now? Evan Bell is going to challenge Paul Thomas Anderson, who is known as a genius. Can he create a miracle and shoot his own "The Blood Is Coming"? In this regard, Evan Bell could not help but need to calm down.

"The Blood Will Come" was originally an epic work. Although Evan Bell has never watched it in his last life, it can be seen from the original novel "Oil". This is a work that is even grander and more profound than "perfume", and it is only difficult to control.

After hesitating, Evan Bell contacted Paul Thomas Anderson through Teddy Bell and Paramount Pictures, asking him if he would be willing to come to the film adaptation of the novel "Oil". Surprisingly, after listening to the content of the original novel, Paul Thomas Anderson rejected it directly, and the reason for his rejection was even more surprising. He was still used to shooting scripts written by himself.

After hearing this reason, Evan Bell couldn't help but be relieved. Paul Thomas Anderson was like this in his last life, which is very similar to Christopher Nolan, because the script is the frame of a movie, and they are used to holding the frame in their own hands in order to exert the greatest energy. The only time Christopher Nolan did not write the screenplay himself was the "White Night" with Evan Bell, and the result was obviously not as expected. So, Paul Thomas Anderson's refusal made Evan Bell wake up.

Since Paul Thomas Anderson has no plans to take over, Evan Bell will go into battle himself. This time the work may be the most severe test of Evan Bell's directorial career. Can he shoot a film far beyond his mind? What about the predecessor to the classic? Will he be able to push the "Oil" adaptation into a classic position? Now, it seems that Evan Bell has not watched "The Blood Is Coming", but it is a big blessing. He can shoot the film according to his own ideas and ideas, and the audience and film critics will make comments at that time. .

After he figured it out, Evan Bell's confidence came back again. He knew that if he only followed in the footsteps of his predecessors all his life, he would never grow up; moreover, he was reborn on Singles' Day in 2012 , Sooner or later, this time point will be passed, so without the advantage of rebirth, can he continue to create glory? Instead of waiting until 2012 comes, it is better to start now, maybe this time is the perfect opportunity!

With the accumulation of the previous five works, Evan Bell is confident enough to start the filming of the adaptation of the novel "Oil"!

The director's problem has been solved, and the second problem has become simpler. Since the current version of "The Blood Will Come" is different from the previous life, it is unknown whether the actor can win the Oscar. Therefore, the male protagonist is also There's no need to limit yourself to Daniel Day-Lewis, even Evan Bell himself is a good choice.

After all the problems were solved, Evan Bell continued to adapt the script. In order to better grasp the atmosphere and connotation of the script, Evan Bell found out the winner of the 21st Academy Award for Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor, "Blood Sands". - Houston's deep insight in the film made Evan Bell full of praise, and then watched John Huston's "The Falcon of Malta" and "The Godfather of Modern Times", which was deeply touched.

In addition, Evan Bell also found that "the blood will come... The source of the name is from the seventh chapter of "Exodus", "Egypt is full of images of the coming blood, even in wood or stone. Containers are no exception. "I have to say that this name has an icing on the cake for the dark theme of the novel "Petroleum", and it is really in place. After careful consideration, Evan Bell wrote "Blood is coming" on the front page of the completed script. title.

Maybe, the name of the movie is the same, so, this time, will this work by Evan Bell become a classic like the previous life?

Before the Oscars, Evan Bell completed the creation of the script, but he has not yet calmed down and thought about the actor. He is interested in the role of the male protagonist Daniel Prevey, but it is not very big, at least not like the original In "Perfume", Jean-Baptiste Grenouille was so attractive to him. On the contrary, Evan Bell was very interested in the role of young priest Eli Sandy. Although this is a supporting role, it is also worth exploring. Absolutely no less, which doubled Evan Bell's interest in the history of religious expansion in the American South at the beginning of the last century.

And Leonardo DiCaprio's bet with Evan Bell found a perfect star for "There Will Be Blood" So, you mean, let me To play the role of Daniel Plevy? "Leonardo DiCaprio didn't look relaxed at all, listening to Evan Bell's understatement, but he knew nothing about his friends. Presumably the challenge of the role of Daniel Plevy is absolutely difficult. It won't be easy.

Evan Bell nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I think this role is perfect for you." In fact, the role of Daniel Plevy is definitely Leonardo DiCaprio's actor career. The biggest challenge in the game, but Evan Bell has always believed that Leonardo DiCaprio's acting skills are solid, and he is willing to study the role. It only takes a little bit of work to complete the role of Daniel Plevy. The interpretation is definitely not a problem.

Leonardo DiCaprio is not going to be compared to the Daniel Day-Lewis of a previous life, but to his own previous work; neither is Evan Bell's version of "There Will Be Blood" Contrast with Paul Thomas Anderson, but to satisfy himself and make new breakthroughs.

So, what will the "blood is coming" in this life look like?
