"Although comedy is more likely to win the box office, you can't deny that most of the dramas that have survived to this day and are still recognized as classics are tragedies. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

At a country club in Dallas, in southern Texas, Matthew McConaughey put down his knife and fork, "like Shakespeare's four tragedies." ”

"Tragedy is indeed more resonant. ”

Shen Lin then put down the knife and fork in his hand and continued to ask, "Why is it easier for tragedy to become a classic?"

"Tragedy has a long tradition and a deep systematic heritage. Matthew McConaughey continued with great interest, "Tragedy is the focus of aesthetic research, tragedy has always been more profound than comedy, Aristotle believes that tragedy is the art of art, Schopenhauer also believes that tragedy is the highest peak of art, tragedy has always been a difficult point in aesthetic research, tragedy has been produced since the beginning of Greek mythology and has been taken on a philosophical color, Oedipus King killed his father and married his mother is that he wants to get rid of the tragedy of fate that he can't get rid of after all." ”

"Let's put it in Hollywood, if "Titanic" did not have the tragedy of Jack and Ruth, it would not have been possible to create such a glorious classic. ”

"I admit it. ”

Shen Lin nodded and said: "The ending with regrets is always more impressive than a reunion, and what you can't get and what you lose is a kind of regret, but it's unforgettable." ”

"Well, that's it. ”

"Mutilation is a special beauty, it makes people think, it makes people reminisce. ”

Matthew suddenly smiled apologetically and asked Shen Lin, "It's been me talking all along, and you, the big screenwriter, haven't spoken yet, what do you think of tragedy and comedy?"

Shen Lin frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Tragedy is to destroy the valuable things in life to show people, and comedy is to destroy the worthless things in life to show people." ”

"Very pertinent view ......"

This phrase originated from a great writer in our country, named Lu Xun. Shen Lin said his name, and when he saw Matthew McConaughey's blank face, he smiled: "Of course, he is not very famous in the United States." ”

"When I have time, I'll look for his writings. ”

Hearing Matthew McConaughey say this, Shen Lin asked, "Do you read a lot?"

Matthew nodded, "It's one of the few hobbies I have. ”

"Reading can make people smarter, but unfortunately in the last two years, I have been busy with work and have very little time to spend reading. ”

"In fact, there have been no particularly outstanding literary works in recent years. Nowadays, commercial literature is flourishing, and the living space of real literary works is shrinking. ”

"Yes, in today's society, it is too difficult to find a literary master!"

The two talked, got up to settle the bill, and drove back south.

"Actually, it's almost 3 months before "Dallas" starts, and you don't have to be so eager to lose weight at all. ”

Shen Lin has been in the United States for almost a week.

After the Spring Festival, he has been doing nothing, and Han Shao is still revising the script of "Riding the Wind and Waves".

Shen Lin received a notice from the litmus test that Matthew McConaughey agreed to star in "Dallas Buyers Club".

Shen Lin hurriedly flew to the United States, and after meeting Matthew, the two talked a lot about the requirements of the role.

Matthew then said goodbye that he wanted to go to Dallas and meet a real cowboy.

Shen Lin thought about it and decided to go with him - idle is idle.

Matthew probably didn't expect such a laid-back director, but he was embarrassed to object.

The two of them were wary of each other from the beginning, and slowly became talkative.

Shen Lin also saw how real Hollywood actors deal with their roles!

For a whole week, Matthew ate every meal, but the intake was minimal, and he only ate a few vegetable salads at each meal!

His figure is also thinning at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

"I'm not losing weight, I'm just adapting in advance, my coach told me that to live up to the script, I need to lose at least 48 kilograms, and my weight is 78 kilograms, so I need almost 4 months. ”

Matthew said nonchalantly.

Shen Lin was a little secretly speechless.

It's no wonder that so many people are optimistic about the "Dallas" project, but few are willing to take it.

Woody Harrelson, Brad Pitt, and Ryan Gosling all thought about starring in the movie, but ultimately failed.

Not all Hollywood actors have the courage to torture their bodies!

……

As an actor, from the very beginning of your life on the big screen, your body is more than just yourself - unless you announce your retirement!

You need to give the audience what the character should look like!

Or strong, or fat, or skinny!

At this point, Hollywood actors are absolutely much more dedicated than our mainland actors!

People outside the circle see the scenery of Hollywood stars and the drunken side of dreams, and how many people know the efforts they put in behind the scenes?

Tom Hanks, in order to shoot "Desert Island Aftermath", which is known as the "modern version of Robinson Crusoe", in the beginning of the film, Hanks deliberately gained more than 40 pounds to show the bloated company employee, and during the start of filming, he lost more than 60 pounds crazy - and this is not the first time Hanks tortured himself like this, as early as the filming of "Miracle in the Green Mile", Tom Hanks gained 40 pounds in order to play the big jailer in the play.

The face of the Dior perfume advertisement, South African beauty Charlize Theron.

This goddess with a graceful figure and good looks has always been regarded as a "vase" until 2004, when she finally changed the world's impression of her with the heroine of "The Witch", Erin Warnos.

In order to get closer to the role of this serial killer on the road, Charlize Theron gained nearly 40 pounds, shaved her eyebrows and put on dentures.

Christian Bale, a powerful star who has acted in Zhang Yimou's movie "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", often tosses and turns on himself, sometimes losing weight and sometimes gaining weight.

In 2003, Bale took over the filming of "The Mechanic", in order to achieve the role requirements of "look like he hasn't slept for a year", he relied on hunger and a lot of physical exertion exercise, and lost 57 pounds in 2 weeks, and finally appeared in the film He is almost no different from a skeleton.

Then Bale took over the filming of "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadow", for the sake of this sturdy superhero, he once again made his weight gain more than 60 pounds rapidly through hard special training. What's even worse is that he then took over the role of a prisoner of American soldiers in "Seeing the Light Again", in order to achieve the state of a skinny character, this time he lost another 50 pounds, and even ate live maggots during the filming.

Although Bell has all kinds of rumors about drama bullies and bad tempers, his professionalism is undoubted, and he has become a recognized benchmark in the industry and a spokesperson for the actor's dedication.

In contrast, some of our actors are much inferior, especially Liu Huohua, there is a scene in "No War in Peking", the soldier who played this performance took off his shirt and only had one abdominal muscle!

Bright blind!

Of course, we also have very admirable actors, such as Wang Qianyuan, such as Zhang Zhen...

……

"Jared Leto is probably not bad, I've heard he's a drama maniac!"

Shen Lin changed the topic and talked about Matthew's partner in the play.

Matthew plays Ron Woodruff and Jared Leto plays a gay, transvestite Ryan!

Ryan's character is important, and through the intersection of Ryan's AIDS and gay communities, it shows the dual pressures faced by social minorities from the family and the conventional social system.

Through the change in Ron's attitude towards Ryan, the change of the character from an ordinary person to a hero can be reflected!

In this way, the film can be plumped up.

Of course, there are not many actors who can play this role well, and Jared Leto is definitely the best choice!

This guy can sacrifice to the extreme for the role he wants!

In order to play the role of Ryan, Jared Leto of the original time and space even stopped eating and finally lost 28 pounds!

This movie can be called the completion of two actors who are acting with their lives!

"But he hasn't acted in 5 years!"

Matthew was a little worried.

"Don't worry, this guy is also a natural actor, as long as he agrees, he will leave the rest to him. ”

In addition to being an actor, he is also the lead singer of the band '30 Seconds to Mars', which is so popular in North America that people forget that he is still a good actor.
