403 Image Breakthrough
Seth's mood was in the mood, and the impulsive words came to his lips, but then his thoughts cooled down a little, he has been rolling in Hollywood for nearly ten years, and he has participated in six works as a producer, not a simple impulsive teenager. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But at this point, Seth hesitated for a millisecond, gritted his teeth, and decided to tell the truth. In tonight's conversation, Lan Li was always calm and sincere, and even nodded and agreed to the request to appear without any hesitation, he naturally couldn't hide it at will, and he had to treat each other with sincerity.
"In real life, there is such a little story. Before chemotherapy, Will, in a fit of rage, stood in front of the bathroom mirror, shaved all his hair, and shaved himself a bald head. We hope to transfer this clip to the film as it is, and truly present this action and this process in the movie. ”
After speaking, after all, Seth closed his eyes tightly, and he didn't dare to breathe.
In the eyes of the layman, the image of an actor does not seem to be as important as that of a singer, after all, actors need to constantly change their looks according to different roles, and the same image means that the acting path is narrow. But that's not the case.
Actors need to create a fixed brand according to their own image, even male actors are no exception, which is one of the important links of commercial packaging. The same goes for an actor like Sean Penn who is raunchy, focused on independent films, and doesn't seem to have any image to speak of, the difference is only in the positioning of the image.
When choosing a character, not to mention changing the overall image, just changing part of the image, this is also negotiable. An actor of Tom Cruise's level will even specify details such as hairstyles, costumes, and makeup in his contract, and any change needs to be cautious and cautious.
Since the actor's style is relatively stable, and there are relatively few parts that can be changed, the status of the hairstyle is highlighted. It is recognized by all professionals that the hairstyle can be said to be the second face of an actor.
Not to mention that when Justin Bieber cut off his iconic bangs, it became a sensational gossip news in the United States, making countless headlines, even Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and others, their hairstyles are relatively fixed, and every change is the result of deliberation by their internal team.
Now, as soon as Seth came up, he asked Lan Li to shave his head, which is definitely an earthquake change in Hollywood.
Moreover, this cannot be achieved with special makeup, because they want to see the actor in front of the camera, shaving his head.
Seth and Will both liked this clip very much, and even though time has passed, the two of them still think it is very memorable when they recall that scene now. They really wanted to show this clip in the movie.
James McAvoy resigned at the last minute, and even did not hesitate to tear up his contract, partly because of a conflict between the filming schedule and the "X-Men" publicity plan, and partly because Twentieth Century Fox expressed concern that if James shaved his head, it would have a detrimental effect on the film's promotion.
It is worth mentioning that in a recent poll on British soil "who is more beautiful than Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie", James defeated Daniel-Radcliffe (Daniel-Radcliffe) and Benedict-Cumberbatch (Benedict-Cumberbatch) to win the championship.
It can be said that at this moment and then, this is the same as when James signed "Me Who Fights Cancer", the situation has changed dramatically. "X-Men" aside, it's also worth pondering what role James and his agent played in this farce.
So, what about Lan Li's turn?
That's Seth's biggest concern. Lan Li is only twenty-one years old now, and he suddenly challenged such a big role in appearance, and even had to sacrifice his handsome appearance and shave his head directly, which is definitely a huge shock to Lan Li, whose career is on the rise, and may even affect the next series of plans-
What should I do to attend the Oscars? Walking the red carpet with a bald head, it is estimated that female fans will be heartbroken!
What to do to promote "Fast & Thrill/Emotion 5"? Vin Diesel, Tyrese Gibson, and Luda Criss are already bald, and Universal Pictures doesn't want to see Lan Li, who has the appearance of an idol, join the ranks!
But, Seth can't lie.
He would rather Lan Li protest, and then the two sides sit down and talk slowly, seeking a solution, even if they can't reach a consensus in the end, it can only go with the flow, rather than choose to deceive and conceal, and then detonate a bloody drama again, plunging the crew, Lan Li, and himself into an even more embarrassing quagmire.
"I think it's going to be a lot of fun. Lan Li couldn't help but smile, when he first watched the movie, he was deeply impressed by this episode, and he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to try it.
Shaved head? Lan Li couldn't help but be a little curious, what would it look like to shave his head?
"You mean...... Interesting?" Seth closed his eyes tightly, then cautiously opened them, a little incredulous in his ears, "So, you mean, you don't mind?"
"I guess I have no problem with my English expression. Lan Li's teasing made Seth laugh.
Seth's sincerity, even through the mobile phone, Lan Li can clearly feel, not to mention, if it is not sincerely invited, at the very beginning, Lan Li will not be in Seth's line of sight -
Seth Rogen and James Franco are truly good friends, even beyond being good friends.
Seth and James have collaborated on many works such as "Pineapple Express", "Interview", "End of the World", "Sausage Party", etc., and, as long as a friend calls, the two of them can make a free cameo appearance in each other's movies at any time, even if it is not an exaggeration to say that they are wearing a pair of pants.
Recently, the media has been hyping up the confrontation between Lan Li and James.
It is rumored that James squeezed out Lan Li and took over the Oscar hosting baton, while Lan Li defeated James head-on and received an Oscar nomination, and the competition between the two actors has become white-hot. Some media even turned out the speeches of the two people at the Toronto Film Festival, and said conclusively that the two people did not like each other and did not like each other.
Even though the two actors have never responded to these rumors in public.
There is no grudge between Lan Li and James, and the two have not even talked privately separately, but objectively speaking, the two are indeed not good friends, and the recent media rumors are so lively that it is inevitable that there will be some embarrassment between the two strangers.
As a good friend of James, Seth naturally can't say that he has any sense of closeness to Lan Li.
In such a situation, Seth has a lot of options, in addition to Lan Li, there are countless suitable actors in the whole of Hollywood, not to mention, Joseph Gordon Levitt is a direct candidate. But Seth still chose Lan Li, without hesitation.
Therefore, in fact, Lan Li believes that he is the first person Seth contacts, and Seth's performance also confirms this during the phone call just now.
Faced with Seth's gains and losses, Lan Li's mood couldn't help but relax, and he took the initiative to speak, jokingly, "In addition to this matter, is there anything else I need to pay attention to in advance?"
"No, no more!" Seth waved his hand and coughed lightly, "So, I suppose, we'll meet in Seattle?"
In fact, Seth hopes that Lan Li will be able to fly to Seattle tomorrow, not for rehearsals in advance, but to feel a sense of security on the ground. But he also knew that this was unrealistic, and he was asking too much.
So, as soon as the words came to his lips, he changed his appearance, "As soon as possible, I mean, Will and I can't wait to see you." Some incoherent, but still rounded back, "Be warned in advance, and don't be disappointed when you see Will." Before hanging up the phone, Seth still didn't forget to complain about his friend, which made people laugh.
Hanging up the phone, Lan Li's mind came to the image of Heather.
ALS is like cancer, but it is more cruel and terrible than cancer. Not only because there is still no effective treatment for this disease, let alone a cure, but also because this disease is too clear and real, allowing patients to slowly witness their own death.
I wonder if Heather will like "Me Against Cancer", or will he hate this movie like he did in his previous life?
Lan Li looked forward to it, which could ignite a glimmer of hope in Heather's heart.
Sitting on the sofa, Lan Li's thoughts went back to his previous life, after he woke up in the hospital bed, he learned that he was paralyzed in a high position, what did he feel and what he thought.
He originally thought that those distant memories had been buried in the endless darkness of twenty-one years ago, and everything had become blurred, and he was afraid that he could not remember it anymore, but after settling down and savoring it, it became so clear that those pictures became vivid again little by little, and the tip of his tongue was filled with bitterness.
It turned out that he had never really forgotten.
The mobile phone rang again, and the bond of thought was severed, Lan Li took the cigarette from the corner of his mouth, put the phone to his ear again, and connected the phone.
Before he could speak, Andy's eager voice came, without any pause, like rain hitting plantains, snapping and catharsis.
"Lan Li, what the hell is going on? Why did I hear Seth say, you want to shave your head? Are you serious? Why do you want to shave your head? This is ridiculous! Can't you discuss this matter again? For example, special effects makeup, you just wear a head covering, pretend to be bald, there is no need to shave all your hair. If it's Seth's problem, I'll talk to him about it, and you can't be hasty! ”
Andy's gaffe is really rare.
