Chapter 1164： Image challenge to Gyllenhaal

October 11, New Line Studio.

The autumn morning breeze is a little cold, but the venue is quite lively with people coming and going.

Lyman was wearing the usual vest of a director's uniform, holding a schedule in his hand as he watched the crew carry equipment and props onto the van.

After chatting with Red Shirt Capital that day, I have met with investment institutions such as Beckman Fund and Dadi International who are interested in entering the streaming media market. What do you think, whether Lehman is too greedy, too arrogant, or too stupid, or that the valuation premium is too serious, does not prevent them from expressing Series A financing to these people or to the investment circle through the platform of Amber. own conditions.

The rest is to let the professionals in the investment circle see whether "Game of Thrones" can achieve the promising incremental results.

So after that, Lehmann did not continue to focus on negotiation and negotiation, and quickly put his energy on the newly opened project.

No, after a few days of preparation, the crew will soon leave for New York.

After all, the Big Apple has a more impetuous atmosphere of wealth than Hollywood, which is just right for the background of the chaebol in "Big Shot".

"Director, costumes and props and your camera equipment are all installed, please sign."

The head of the long-distance fleet followed one of the company's associate production managers.

"Well, the number is correct. After you run this trip, hand over the list to the person who is waiting over there, and he will sign for it." Lehman checked some things the crew needed and signed his name, "I wish you all the best. Good wind."

Watching the team leave the photography base one by one, other field managers and assistant producers also began to gather.

Before leaving, Lehman called Joseph and ordered some things, and he took a few crew managers to the airport.

More than an hour later, the actor also came.

Carrying more than 50 behind-the-scenes personnel, more than 20 actors, directors of fire insurance, and representatives of the labor union stationed in the crew, the "Boeing 787" wrapped in fireflies took off in silence and headed for New York.

...

The main line of "Big Shot" is roughly about an arrogant and domineering rich second-generation who was finally beaten by middle-aged police on the street and sent to prison. Although the iron fist of justice was late, he was not absent.

The starting point of the conflict is Dawn, the policeman, the character played by Cage. His neighbor and friend was framed by the heirs of the big chaebol, paralyzed by jumping off the building, and in the process of finding the truth for his friend, he accidentally discovered that the consortium had colluded with the judiciary. Bribery, tax evasion and other illegal things.

Of course, the original work did not involve high-level factors such as political parties, presidents, etc. Perhaps the director just wanted to defeat the big ones through the little ones, instead of relying on any upper-level factors to satirize the national conditions of South Korea. After all, everyone knows the energy of the Korean chaebol.

But Lyman added such a small plot for the rationality of the plot.

In addition, this film contains too many scenes that the public wants to see, that is, the cool point of hitting the public.

For example, we designed a contradictory structure in which the rich still oppress and bully honest people to become villains.

The rich and the poor in society vary. 20% of the people occupy 80% of the social resources and wealth. In addition, many rich people have reported violations of the legal system. In this way, it can also be used very close to reality. "Wealth Has Original Sin" captures a similar point and draws a story.

This is precisely the core of the box office explosion of "Veteran".

In the morning, a parking lot.

The people are busy, busy arranging the place.

Today is the first day of the boot. The first scene is a relatively simple one. It is about Cage's police force targeting a group of criminal gangs who smuggle luxury cars, and then pretending to be a wealthy businessman to buy a car for his mistress, come Go to the high-end used luxury car trading company where the criminal gang sells the stolen goods and pay for it.

When they drove away, knowing that the other party would install a tracker in the car, Cage deliberately hid in the trunk and waited for the smuggling gang to recycle the luxury car and take it back for modification, and successfully found the criminal gang's lair.

This is a very typical upgraded version of fishing law enforcement, but its purpose is to shape the character of Cage, that is, he, an old policeman, does everything he can to solve the case.

For the footage of this scene, Thomas planned to use a fixed camera, and then he was carrying a camera holding a camera and taking pictures of the gangster's body and expressions, focusing on a policeman who got out of the trunk, their surprise, panic.

In the dressing room of the RV, several actors are applying makeup.

After the show, seeing that everyone was not in place, Cage continued to take out the script and ponder the role.

Next to him, Gyllenhaal, who was out of play today, was also reading the script. The two of them had worked with Lyman before, and they were fairly familiar with each other.

While it was okay, the two chatted.

"Your role is quite difficult. How do you feel? Have you found your emotions?"

"Drug addict, loves violence, living in the shadow of his parents, low self-esteem and hateful, twisted to the point that his mind is not like a healthy person at all." Jake Gyllenhaal laughed at himself, "It's hard to grasp, I have never acted in it. Such a disjointed character."

"You remember what Director Ryman said: a well-dressed beast can interpret such an image, and your role is more than half completed."

"It's not easy, I can easily do the first four words The last two words have to show the feeling of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, it will be difficult."

"Cage, come here." Lyman shouted over there.

"immediately."

Cage patted Jake Gyllenhaal on the shoulder and walked over quickly.

After the others left, Jack sighed and continued to pick up the script to try to figure out this character who was completely inconsistent with his previous image and was scumbag.

This is a big breakthrough for his play style, and it is a play directed by Lehmann, and he has to be cautious.

No way, I was born into such an acting family, my father won the Emmy and the Directors Guild Award; my mother was an Oscar nominated screenwriter and won the Producers Guild Award; my sister Maggie won the Golden Globe Movie for "Shirley Baby" After; his uncle is the editor-in-chief of the Miami Herald, his aunt is a former Broadway opera singer, and Paul Newman is his mentor. In such an environment with a strong artistic atmosphere, it is impossible to pursue anything.

He's already 30, it's time to play a role with deep acting depth.

In the words of his sister: You have passed the age of eating handsome guys.

This is also why he has a sense of crisis or, as an actor, is motivated to transform himself from a niche.

At the age of 30, for an actor, he can still eat a niche drama, but he is already expanding.

From 2004 to 2006, after performing "The Day After Tomorrow" and a love film, he took over "Brokeback Mountain";

After the performance of "Micro Love", I immediately took over "Anti-Terrorist Suspect" and "Zodiac";

After the performance of "Love and Elixir", he received a call from Lyman, and he immediately joined the show again.

He knew exactly what he wanted to do, even if he wasn't so urgent that the audience wouldn't buy it if he didn't change the way of the show.

Playing a delirious second-generation drug addict?

Jack spreads out the small notes he made to analyze the script, his mind is quite chaotic...
