Chapter 398: Outstanding Self-Performance
"In the past!"
"What for?"
"Don't move!"
"What did you say to Lewis. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Just plain chat. β
"Honestly, are you talking about something, or is it just chatting?"
"Really normal chat. β
"Is it coming?"
ββ¦β¦ I don't know. β
"Where to place the order, and when!"
"I don't know!"
"I don't know anything, how do you do it!"
"Vince, listen to me. β
"SHUT UP, DON'T CALL ME BY NAME, CALL ME SIR!"
ββ¦β¦ SIR, IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE I WAS THE BOSS!"
β¦β¦
Call...... Li Xu let out a sigh, and then applauded, but what was a little embarrassing was that only Zemeckis clapped his hands in agreement, and the others did not move.
Well, they've said it before, they've seen it many times.
So Li Xu didn't care, just pointed to the big screen that had no picture and nodded: "Yes, it's really good, Keanu's temporary performance is amazing." β
The scene of the brothers' conflict in the back alley is no different from the original, but the emotional conflict is more intense, whether it is Costner, Washington, or Reeves, they all have very outstanding performances.
The phrase "I've been the boss for many years" was pronounced by Costner, who looked at Reeves from beginning to end, unlike the original Dillon, who had to bow his head.
The reddened eyes, the flickering tears, and the trembling corners of the mouth are very clearly conveyed in the close-up, and the pain and remorse of the characters, especially the closing of the eyes at the beginning, and the characteristics of trying to suppress strong feelings are immediately expressed.
Washington's outburst was just as wonderful, the hatred when he grabbed Reeves' gun and held it to his chest, the indignation at "he's sorry for you, but he's also your brother, he's already repenting, why did you hurt him so much" was clearly expressed on his face.
"I warn you, don't put a gun to my head!"
"If you want to shoot, come here, shoot here!"
A loud, rhythmic roar shows the character's personality vividly and vividly, which is very eye-catching.
Generally speaking, Reeves, as a newcomer, is likely to be crushed in this situation, but afterwards Zemeckis told Li Xu that this kid performed very well, not to mention, he could play freely, and it was equally exciting.
Li Xu has been itching after hearing this, but unfortunately because he wants to focus on graduation, he can only hold back the urge to go to Los Angeles to have a look. After the East Coast was over, I went to Cannes again, and after going to Da Mo to finish things there, I finally came to Los Angeles.
Then, he felt that Zemeckis was not wrong at all, and that this particular newcomer was indeed a monster.
"Why don't you give me a chance......? Just because of you, I can only be an ordinary policeman in the future, just because you are a gangster!" Reeves paused just right when he roared like this, and his mouth made a silent lip shape: Dad!
The original version is here, Zhang Guorong is done in one go, without any pause, so that many people who have watched the movie feel that he is too cold-blooded, only caring about himself and not thinking about his eldest brother.
Without a big brother to support the family, can you grow up smoothly? Without a big brother to support the family, can you make such a beautiful girlfriend, can you take the police academy and become a police officer?
This is of course the reason why Dillon performed extremely well - he was not very good-looking when he was young, the most beautiful man in Hong Kong and Taiwan, if it weren't for the baldness of his forehead, maybe he could be the leading actor for a few more years.
And he used to play heroes before, with a righteous face, the kind of righteousness first, and the courage to stick a knife in the ribs for his friends, which Chen Huimin can't play.
So after the movie was released, many people stood on his side and complained a lot about the younger brother played by Zhang Guorong.
But this is the pot of the script and the director's pot, not Zhang Guorong's own problem, in fact, the original version of this scene is wonderful, the three leading actors are full of investment, not much worse than any old drama bones, and the works that can occupy a place in the history of film have merit after all.
The problem lies in the line "Give me a chance", judging from the plot before and after, Applejack should care about her father being killed because of this, rather than getting a salary increase.
In fact, the plot after that did say so, but the problem is that this point was not clearly shown in the most intense emotional conflict, so that the audience's feelings directly shifted to Brother Hao's side, but it can't be changed later.
That's right, one of the first cause effects.
When Li Xu was making the American version, he didn't care about this, and directly moved the original version over, if he had to deal with this detail, would he still make a movie?
Anyway, the original version is like this, and it doesn't affect the quality of the whole movie.
Zemeckis They also didn't think much about it, but they didn't expect Reeves to pause and add a silent father after filming this paragraph, but this point was clearly highlighted, and the role of the younger brother suddenly became more three-dimensional.
The only problem is with, read out in two parts, instead of squirting out in one breath, and the intensity of the feelings has slowed down.
But Reeves made up for it with another play, and when he turned to leave, he was in front of the camera, the corners of his mouth trembled, his face was sad, his eyes were red, and when he was about to leave the alley, a tear rolled down his face.
That kind of anger and powerlessness, on the one hand, his eldest brother, on the other hand, his dead father, the eldest brother is a gangster, and he is a policeman, these unsolvable contradictions are vividly expressed at this moment.
"I was really shocked, he was so sharp. Zemeckis praised Reeves so much that Li Xu couldn't help but wonder if this was really the Keenu Reeves he knew.
Well, some actors are like this, they are extremely spiritual when they are young, and they become paralyzed when they are older. Think about this guy in another time and space, co-starring with Riven Phoenix in "Unruly Sky", the acting is really good, although the most eye-catching is Phoenix.
As a result, after "The Matrix", he never looked back on coolness, and gradually became facial paralysis.
Of course, whether he is paralyzed in the back or not, it has nothing to do with Li Xu, as long as he puts Applejack now, oh, now Jace Sandy, as long as he plays it well and performs it, then it will be fine.
As for Chen Chong, it is a vase, a large vase.
"It doesn't matter if the vase, most actresses start with the vase. Li Xu said so, in Chen Chong's villa, "Especially for an actress like you, I often say that Hollywood is not very friendly to Chinese actors, and your future development is still in the mainland." β
"I see. Chen Chong replied with low eyebrows.
"Isn't it okay to have Mr. Li's support?" asked a young girl beside Li Xu with tilted her head.
The facial features are relatively tough, and he looks like he is seventeen or eighteen years old, he is still beautiful, and he is very young and lively, although he asked again in a naΓ―ve tone, but his eyes turned away, with a little cunning.
"It's impossible for me to fight against the whole trend alone, besides, is it necessary?" Li Xu asked rhetorically.
To put it more bluntly, are you worth the price?
Although the little beauty's face changed slightly, she quickly regained her composure and smiled: "Then Sister Chong and I have to work hard." β
As a girl who hooked her fingers and went to bed when she met for the first time, and cooperated with Chen Chong to fly with him when she met again, she naturally wouldn't care about such a little irony.
"Of course, you are different from Joan, she had enough well-known works when she was in the mainland, and you only have a very ordinary "Long Live Youth", so "The Last Emperor" is the work that you really established your reputation in the mainland. Li Xu said with a smile.
This unrestrained girl is naturally Wu Junmei, and Li Xu is too lazy to choose. Although Gong Xue and Zhu Ling have been able to communicate in English relatively fluently, they still have the ability to read the lines appropriately while performing.
And Wu Junmei went abroad in 82 years and is studying film at the University of Los Angeles, so you can find out if you pay a little attention.
This is also a restless character, only 18 years old, no longer a virgin, as soon as I heard Chen Chong talk about the cause and effect, I almost didn't persuade him to agree, and then he went to bed and double-flyed, and played quite hapi,
"Okay, let's go meet the actor today, it's easy to find such a suitable one. Li Xu said after looking at the time at this time.
He didn't just come to Los Angeles to check and watch the edited clips of "Brothers", and it was also part of his job to select the actors of "The Last Emperor".
Although they have been picked almost a long time ago, in addition to Chen Chong's graceful appearance, Wu Junmei's embroidery, Lu Yan who plays Cixi, and Huang Ziqiang who plays Chen Baochen, are basically in place, and Peter Otto also agreed to play Johnston.
But little Pu Yi, young Pu Yi, and all kinds of messy characters are still being selected.
Of course, these are all things for the casting directors, and Li Xu is mainly here to see the set male protagonist in person, the legendary beautiful man Zunlong.
"I heard that John studied at the Hong Kong Art School and practiced Cantonese opera?" he was in the cafΓ© of the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills when he asked.
"Yes, some exercises were done. The man in front of him replied cautiously, and sure enough, he was handsome and compelling.
And this is handsome and masculine, but there is a neutral beauty, so that Li Xu is a little jealous.
It can be said that this guy can be so handsome at the age of 32, and ten years ago, he was definitely not much worse than Bourne Anderson in "Death in Venice", and he is a guy who can make men excited.
Of course, Li Xu will definitely not be among them.
So he said directly: "Don't be so restrained, Mr. Long, I didn't choose you as the leading actor because I took a fancy to you." β
"Ahem......" The other party immediately coughed, and the handsome face couldn't help but twitch, obviously knowing what Li Xu meant by "what do you like".
However, in this way, the atmosphere that was originally somewhat solidified was also relaxed.
"Really...... I'm very sorry, Mr. Lee. Zunlong laughed, personable.
"Are you interested in signing an extra movie?" Li Xu then asked again, and he suddenly had another idea, a very interesting idea.
