Alfonso laughed happily when Lan Li mentioned the symbolism of women, and the satisfaction and relief between his eyebrows could not be concealed at all, nor did he want to hide it, the pure joy and happiness, and then freely expressed his joy.

"Lan Li, I'm serious, you are the perfect candidate for this movie. I can't think of a more suitable choice, I haven't even described the details of the script, I haven't even described the specific information of the characters, just a few words, your understanding and comprehension, which already resonates with my idea. ”

Excited enough, Alfonso held his head in his hands, like a child who had just gotten a lollipop, "God, I've finally found you." Please, please, please be sure to appear in this work, all my hopes are pinned on you. ”

Belch...... Inadvertently, did Lan Li pretend to be forced once?

Lan Li's hand movements paused for a moment, looked at Alfonso who was dancing in front of him, and tried to defend himself, but found that he had no way to defend himself, not to mention, there was no need to justify, so he simply let it go, "So, you should be looking for an actress, why did you find me in the end?"

Alfonso only then realized that Lan Li had not agreed to play the role, and now, he was still convincing Lan Li, so he had to brace himself, otherwise he might miss out on this impeccable actor.

"Yes, your words are correct. We have been thinking about choosing an actress to perform, which should be a more appropriate decision, and from the perspective of the imagery of the camera and the deep meaning of the composition, women are undoubtedly dominant. Alfonso nodded in the affirmative, "But the problem is that this role is too difficult to perform." ”

"It's no exaggeration to say that all the lighting, all the special effects, all the shots, all the productions of the whole movie had to be shown through this one actor. Without a great performance, everything is meaningless. Alfonso pondered for a moment before continuing.

"It's not just an absolute secret room, all emotions and emotions will be amplified to the extreme, but at the same time, in terms of textual language, we have been doing subtraction, trying to avoid preaching as much as possible, but it seems redundant, so the lens language needs to be added to capture every detail of the actor's performance, even if it's just a blink of an eye. Here's the problem!"

As a director, Alfonso is not known for his acting skills, his strengths are still in the camera scheduling, atmosphere creation and picture language, but this does not mean that he has no say in the performance, it is precisely because of his strict requirements for atmosphere creation, so every detail in the picture must be strict, including the performance.

"Addition, but it's too easy and easy to be contrived. That would be a complete disaster for the minimalism of the whole film. So, Hollywood really doesn't have many options.

In fact, I've interviewed more than a dozen actors on the recommendation of Warner Bros., and either they are dissatisfied with me, think the script is too weak, or think the work does not have enough commercial potential, or I am not satisfied with them, and the performance still can't impress me. ”

"Warner Bros.?" Lan Li's focus has been misguided, "Gravity" was invested by Warner Bros., that's for sure, but why is Warner Bros. in their conversation?

"Yes. Alfonso nodded in affirmation, "It was Warner Bros. who recommended you in the first place, and I heard your name for the first time, and then I asked a few friends and had an idea." However, before I got my back to that, and before I auditioned, I wanted to see for myself, and as you said, I was thinking about an actress and then I was changing to a male actor, and I needed to do a little bit more homework, so I came to London. ”

Lan Li's eyebrows raised slightly, it was actually Warner Bros. who recommended him. Does this mean that the internal test screening of the full version of "Edge of Tomorrow" has been well received?

In addition, Alfonso had never heard of Blue Rite before. Sure enough, it's a real tech otaku. However, Lan Li was not only not angry, but a little happy, because it meant that Alfonso's affirmation and invitation were more pure - this was another affirmation for the performance of the Almeida Theater.

"Actress. After Lan Li diverted the topic, he went back around, "Which actresses did you audition?"

If it was another director, it is estimated that he would skip it directly, anyway, it is not about Lan Li, shouldn't the focus of the conversation now be on Lan Li?

But Alfonso answered honestly, "Angelina Jolie, Rachel Weisz, Carey Mulligan, Marion Cotillard, Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, Felicity Jones, Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts......"

Now, Lan Li can be sure that "gravity" is definitely the handiwork of Warner Bros.

Every actress is worth noting, except for Felicity Jones, who is slightly inferior, only rising with "Love Crazy", other actors are not small, and the youngest Carey Mulligan also won the Oscar nomination for Best Actress in 2009 for "growing up education".

Not only that, but Alfonso added, "I thought Natalie was the best fit, but she refused. He shrugged his shoulders vigorously, expressing his regret and chokedness.

"What about Sandra Bullock? I think she's a very good fit. Lan Li took the opportunity to make a recommendation. I didn't hear Sandra's name, which was unexpected, but it was reasonable.

This time, Alfonso did not answer immediately, but looked at Lan Li seriously, and stopped talking, endured and endured, but after all, he still couldn't hold back, "Lan Li, do you really don't want to appear in this work? If that's the case, please forgive me for my faux pas." Having said that, Alfonso's eyes were full of urgency and pleading, lest Lan Li nodded in acknowledgement.

Lan Li was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his actions and words had indeed caused such a misunderstanding, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "I'm sorry......"

Lan Li was about to express his faux pas and then explain some reasons, but Alfonso couldn't wait to interrupt Lan Li's words and quickly said, "Sandra, we asked her. Alfonso looked directly into Lan Li's eyes, expressing his sincerity and focus, "But it's a pity that she has already signed a contract with the crew of 'Big Dreamer' first, and there is no time for the next schedule!"

Question mark, question mark, question mark.

Such an answer was definitely something Lan Li did not expect, and now his head was full of question marks.

"Big Dreamer" is the first film in film history to tell the story of Walt Disney, both as a protagonist and as a supporting character.

The film tells the story of Walt Disney that it took twenty years to convince the author, P-L-Travers, to hand over the rights to the film adaptation of "Mary Poppins" to Disney.

Last year, the film, also released in 2013, was a major part of the awards season, directed by John-Lee-Hancock, with Tom Hanks as the lead actor and Emma Thompson as the female lead.

The early part of the awards season was well received and was well received at the BAFTA Awards, but the momentum then declined, and the Oscars were nominated for only one Best Original Score.

Now, Sandra Bullock has replaced Emma Thompson as the heroine of "Big Dreamers", which means that history has changed again. So, what about Emma? Is she out of the project altogether, or does she have other acting plans? Will "Big Dreamer," played by Sandra, make a difference this awards season?

Objectively speaking, it is not surprising that Sandra has joined the "Big Dreamer".

Because John Lee Hancock is the director of "weakness", he personally sent Sandra to the throne of the Oscar actress back then, and now Sandra has repaid the favor, which is completely expected, not to mention, the actor of "Big Dreamer" is still Tom Hanks, a proper awards season movie template.

But what really raises Lan Li's question is, is this the butterfly effect? After a long period of gestation and precipitation, the chain reaction after rebirth finally began to exert its power?

First, the entire cast of "Edge of Tomorrow" was reborn, inside and out, then at this year's Oscars, Martin Scorsese won his second Oscar for Best Director, and now the cast selection for other film projects has also changed.

It's not just things that are closely related to Lan Li that have changed, but also changes in other unrelated corners. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Also, as of 2017, will the future blueprint that Lanli knows undergo earth-shaking changes?

However, there is no one to answer. Even if it was Lan Li himself, he could only cross the river by feeling the stones. The unknown is becoming more and more, and life is becoming more and more exciting. After the panic and confusion, Lan Li began to enjoy the change.

"That's why Warner Bros. recommended you. Alfonso was completely unaware of the turbulent waves in Lan Li's mind, and continued, "Actually, at the very beginning of the preparation of this project, we set the male lead. ”

"Male protagonist?" Lan Li raised an eyebrow in surprise, something he didn't know.

"Ryan-Stone, that's the name of the main character. Alfonso affirmed.

In the United States, Ryan is a relatively masculine name, and although many women have begun to call it, it is still a relatively masculine name overall. Not to mention the surname "Stone", it can be seen that Alfonso may have just taken it casually, and chose a tough name according to the male character.

Alfonso went on to add, "Robert Downey Jr. was our first choice, but ...... In the end, it was not possible to negotiate. After a long time, we chose an actress, and in the end, we went back to square one. ”

Without waiting for Lan Li to express his opinion, Alfonso said urgently, "After watching the performance of 'Les Miserables', I realized that you are the most suitable choice, and no one can be more suitable than you. As long as you are willing to nod and agree to star, the crew can wait at any time and wait until your schedule is suitable before we start filming. I'm sure Warner Bros. won't have an opinion!"
