Chapter 809: Wonderful Process
"It's not...... Even if there is a gap in acting skills, it shouldn't be so bad, just now I felt like I was a complete failure. [Reading Network]. Gu Xiaofan was thoughtful, very puzzled, and took the initiative to step forward and ask Bell, who was wearing a suit.
Oh my God, he's wearing a blue suit now, he'd been mistaking Nolan for a batsuit......
"Bell, why did you give me a great sense of oppression just now, what is the reason?"
"I'm not obligated to teach you anything." This British genius actor with a cold look turned his head and glanced at him indifferently when he heard Gu Xiaofan's question:
"Your only weakness is that I'm better than you, and you're just a technical actor acting with talent, okay...... Aside from the shooting assignment, I don't think we need to have much communication. ”
Bell's cold attitude surprised Gu Xiaofan a little, what's the matter with this guy? Is it because when they first met, Abel wanted to be the director of "The Dark Knight", which made this guy very unhappy, isn't it so stingy?
At this time, Nolan hurriedly came over to play a round and pulled Gu Xiaofan aside: "Don't mind, Xiao Bell just disagrees with your politics, he is not usually such a person." Nolan calls Bell privately, and they all call Bell "Little Bell" by the nickname.
"Political disagreement?" Gu Xiaofan asked with a slight frown.
"Little Bell is Welsh, and the most hated thing is the Scots." Nolan shrugged his shoulders helplessly:
"And it is little Bell who has had an almost fanatical admiration for our Queen of England since he was a child, and he always thinks that it is because of Queen Elizabeth that Britain will always maintain the status of a great power, and the Scottish ** you are fueling the troubles is the thing he hates the most."
"So that's ......" Gu Xiaofan understands now, a top performer like Bell should not have too bad character, why did he stick his nose and eyes at him as soon as he came, it turned out to be this reason.
"Do you think you're depressed when you're acting with Little Bell?" Seeing him in a daze, Nolan suddenly asked with a smile.
"Yes, it's a strange feeling...... Gu Xiaofan nodded and looked at Nolan, obviously the director knew what was going on.
"Don't look at me, in fact, when you sent you your clown audition video 3 years ago, Little Bell commented on you with me." Nolan said in a tentative tone:
"Do you know what he says about your clown?"
"I told you wasn't me, but I wanted to hear how he described the clown's actor?" Gu Xiaofan's old face flushed, he knew now that his current level had not reached the strength of Si Rui's simulated clown.
Nolan patted him on the shoulder: "He said that the person is an actor with the same characteristics as him, both have a cold style, and Batman is also a cold character, in fact, Batman is different from Superman, Iron Man, Captain America, these bright heroes, he uses the fear of the night to make the opponent frightened, he is a rare dark hero, and the role of the Joker actually has some similarities, all of which bring fear to the other party, so if he plays Batman, your Joker fear style will be completely suppressed by him......"
Saying that, Nolan looked at Gu Xiaofan meaningfully and said, "Do you know who the first choice for the clown is in my mind?" ”
Gu Xiaofan listened to these words, and didn't know why Nolan had such a problem, so he opened his mouth and said softly: "Could it be Bell?" ”
"Haha, that's him." Nolan smiled proudly: "No way, the most suitable people in the world to play Batman and the Joker are all our British actors, or the same person, it's really incomprehensible~"
Nolan usually looks very gentlemanly, but as long as you know him, you will know that the British director's biggest specialty is Dese, and he does not miss any opportunity to praise himself and his own actors.
Gu Xiaofan felt that Nolan was a bit exaggerated, although Bell was very powerful, how could he, a serious guy, play a clown?
When Nolan looked at him, he knew that he didn't believe it, so he just smiled and said, "You go back and watch "American Psycho", Bell played a role in it. He didn't continue the topic, turned around and clapped his hands at everyone and said:
"Alright, we can start the script reading."
At this time, the time has reached 9:10, the actors have already arrived, and the script reading will officially begin.
During the whole script reading session, Gu Xiaofan and Liu Shishi felt that they had entered a new world, and faced a Hollywood A-grade producer for the first time, and they found that any actor, whether it was Alan Eckhart who played the two-faced man, or Gary Oldman, who played Inspector Gordon, these famous actors can be called acting masters.
This is completely different from the feeling in China, the top domestic actors are indeed very good, but the number is extremely rare, so when filming blockbusters of the level of "Infernal Affairs" and "Hero", almost half of the superstars in the Chinese film industry must be gathered.
But in Hollywood, you can form 10 groups or 20 groups of the same level or even more luxurious lineup at any time.
After the script reading meeting, Gu Xiaofan, as the producer, stayed with Nolan to discuss the details of the shooting, and his face was full of energy, until he returned home, Gu Xiaofan sat on the sofa and took a deep breath, suddenly feeling unreal.
The lineup of "The Dark Knight" is simply a earth-shaking change compared to dramas like "Game of Thrones", and when I look at the list, I don't feel that I feel shocked when I really face these actors.
It turns out that this is the feeling of filming Hollywood A-level productions......
If it were in the past, Gu Xiaofan would definitely doubt whether Black Feather Studio could make a good movie of this level, but now, after the baptism of the fantasy series "Game of Thrones", Black Feather Studio has matured, and Gu Xiaofan believes that they can be completely confident in controlling the crew and filming process.
Black Feather Studio is no longer just a small production company in China, after absorbing HBO's team, there is "Hawkeye" Hasen in charge of the overall situation in logistics, Chen Keer, the "female Zhuge " in finance and public relations, and the weakest director in the past, today also has Nolan to join to help, plus the experienced and shooting team trained in China.
Today, this once weak black crow has grown into a black beast with full wings and standing proudly in the sky.
In the eyes of his peers, this is the first time that Black Feather Studio has completely produced a Hollywood movie, and the cost is so huge, if it fails, everything he has accumulated before will be wiped out.
But Gu Xiaofan is indeed very secure in his heart now, without the slightest nervousness, only the irrepressible excitement in his chest, and even after a day's work, he is still excited and sleepless all night, as if he was looking forward to and longing for the eve of the spring outing in his childhood school.
"The Dark Knight", the work he has dreamed of for a long time, is even better than he has imagined countless times.
This level of production made him feel extremely enjoyable, and he felt that every minute and every second of the process was so wonderful...... He was very intoxicated by the pleasure that the process brought him.
The only fly in the ointment was that he was frustrated by Bale's performance today......
By the way, Nolan wanted him to watch the "American Psycho", Gu Xiaofan remembered it and called his assistant to rent him a DVD......
He wanted to see if Nolan was exaggerating, and then find a way to better play the joker with Bell's thick acting skills......
The box office is part of it, and his goal for the role of this clown is to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor......
