WeChat just sent it over, and the message over there came back: "Thank you for the invitation..."

Thank you for your invitation...

Milk Xiao has already joined the crew of "Crazy Call", and it is estimated that she is filming, but Shen Ming did not continue to harass her.

I got up, twisted my neck, changed my clothes, pushed the door and walked out.

When he entered the conference room, there was already a circle of people sitting inside, and Todd Phillips pulled him over and introduced him one by one.

"Hi, Shen!"

"Hi, nice to meet you!"

"Wow, you're so much thinner than last time!"

"Uh, thanks. ”

Soon, he recognized it, and most of them were friendly, especially Robert De Niro.

Ming Tsai admires Robert De Niro, in a word, all the classic movies in the seventies and eighties and even the nineties in the United States have been played by De Niro, whether it is luck or strength, but in short, history has chosen De Niro.

Not only acting, but the main De Niro is one of the pioneers of the method actor.

Ya's filming is really deadly!

In order to play the youth version of Corleone in "The Godfather 2", he went to Sicily to live for a period of time and studied the Sicilian dialect for four months;

Max, the perverted villain in "Horror Corner", spent $5,000 at the dentist to mess up his good teeth...

Bale controls his weight arbitrarily, like a rubber man, in fact, De Niro played it back in the 80s of the last century, for a scene in "Raging Bull", gaining 60 pounds...

Willing to do a lot of research and practical experience for a role, and willing to leave all the baggage for it, and completely enter the heart of the character, this is the most difficult point as an actor, to some extent, for a period of time, completely give up his personal life, of course, Shen Ming prefers another way of saying: increasing the breadth and depth of his life, experiencing various stages of life.

And...

Ming Tsai always felt that Robert De Niro was more and more like Zhang Chiayi...

In fact, these Yankees, whether they have heard of Shen Ming or not, have a warm attitude that must be made, because Shen Ming is named by Warner Bros.!

Or that the crew of "Joker" can be established, in addition to Todd Phillips, the most important thing is Shen Ming!

Without Ming Zai, it is impossible to say whether "Joker" can be established.

As for whether he really respects from the bottom of his heart, it doesn't matter, he is here to film, not to pretend...

……

The crew of "Joker", in addition to director Todd Phillips, the second place should be Todd's good friend Scott Silver, this guy is very talented, Eminem's "Eight Mile" is he is the screenwriter, this time "Joker", he is also the screenwriter...

In fact, in terms of qualifications, Scott is better than Todd, Scott started his directing career in 96, "Los Angeles Cowherd", yes, it tells the story of a male prostitute...

This guy loves this fringe genre.

That's right, a movie like the Joker can only be a marginal theme, and it must never become mainstream, and it shouldn't be!

That's why it's R-rated!

Warner Bros. had already said when the project was established: the role of the Joker and the film were not promoting real-world violence, nor did they intend to make the character a hero.

It's fiction: In the 80s of the last century, a comedian with a troubled life gradually went to a mental breakdown, began a crazy criminal career in Gotham City, and eventually became Batman's old enemy "Joker".

Batman is all fiction, and so is the Joker, of course!

Scott Silver and Todd Phillips borrowed from John Wayne Gacy when writing Joker.

John Wayne Gacy, the notorious badass!

There were as many as 33 serial murders, most of which were children in their teens.

And John is known as the "killer clown" because he often plays the role of a clown at fundraisers and parties...

These Yankees like to hunt for strange themes, Martin Scorsese's next play "The Devil in the White City" is also about the story of a murderer, but "The Devil in the White City" is a little more extreme, his prototype character Henry Howard Holmes, is an anatomy lover, in order to enjoy the pleasure, he simply built a hotel, come and kill one by one, when he was arrested, the police found more than 200 complete and incomplete corpses in his home...

……

Office.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Shen Ming put on his makeup and sat on a chair.

The close-up camera focuses on his face.

Filming has officially begun!

To put it mildly, Shen Ming prefers to film in Hollywood, because their costumes and lighting photography are very professional, so you don't need to worry about these things, just act in your play.

But in the domestic crew, no!

Many times you need to correct the director's aesthetic ...

For example, "The Nameless", Rao Xiaozhi is like this, and Shen Ming needs to find a professional art designer to tell him that the county town in China in 2018 is not ninety...

Back to shooting.

Styling: Greasy black hair unkempt, wearing a faded red zip-up sweatshirt and a gray scarf that has thinned over the years and hangs loosely around the neck.

Today, I want to shoot the opening plot, that is, Arthur meets his attending doctor, and he can't be considered an attending doctor, but a social worker, a social worker who specializes in dealing with these people's mental illness...

Arthur Fleck's character, when he sees someone he knows, he can't help but laugh...

So how can you control it?

Tears are the most suitable!

How can you shed tears?

Halfway through laughing, Shen Ming suddenly raised his hand and slapped his nose, and then, his eyes were full of tears...

Trying to make himself look normal, leaning back in his chair, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and asked softly, "Is it just me, or is the whole world getting crazier?"

The head of the social worker didn't raise it: "I must be nervous." People are frustrated, they're struggling, they're looking for a job. The strike seems to have been going on. These are tough times!"

"How's the work? Are you still adapting?"

"yes, I mean, every day is different. So I really enjoy my job. I don't think I can be an office worker at my desk. After a pause, he smiled: "Offended you!"

The social worker didn't speak, she was too busy with her work, she lowered her head to review the documents, and asked programmatically, "Have you been keeping a diary?"

"Yes, write every day!"

"Did you bring that?"

"I'm sorry. What should I bring?"

"Arthur, last time I asked you to bring the diary. For these meetings. Did you bring it?"

Shen Ming was stunned for a few seconds before replying, "Yes, ma'am, I brought it." ”

"Give it to me!"

Shen Ming lowered his head, very reluctantly reached into his bag, took out an old notebook, and pushed it in front of her: "I've always used it as a diary, as a joke record, and as a record of funny ideas or comments - did I tell you that I was preparing to do a one-man comedy show?"

And then smile...

Arthur had a habit of laughing involuntarily when he felt nervous, sad, or angry...

Unfortunately, the social worker ignored him and looked through his notebook...
