Chapter 818: Soul to the Devil

Bell was leaning against the wall smoking a cigarette when he saw him and threw him one with a blank face. [No pop-up novel network]

"I don't smoke." Gu Xiaofan took the cigarette and frowned slightly.

"Neither will I...... But I guess you need this. Bell said indifferently.

"I don't need this kind of thing to relieve my worries." Gu Xiaofan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and he didn't know what Bell meant.

"Don't be a fool, let me tell you, it's impossible for you to stay in that extreme state." Bell's tone suddenly became a little angry:

"Nolan is a good director, but he is not an actor after all, he doesn't know how to act, when you played the clown just now, didn't you feel that your emotions were torn? Don't you feel bad? Approaching that guilt for a long time, no one can stand it psychologically. ”

In many cases, there is a limit to the acceptance of negative emotions by the human spirit, and after exceeding it, it will oppress people's nerves until they completely collapse...... Professions such as doctors and police officers, who have been exposed to negative social events for a long time, have a very high suicide rate.

If Gu Xiaofan is too involved in clowns, the consequences will be really unimaginable......

"Well...... Yes, there are some. Although Gu Xiaofan felt very enjoyable when he played the clown, after the performance, he felt very uncomfortable, and he had the urge to commit a crime or even kill someone.

He knew that this thought was a fantasy, but he couldn't control the spread.

is too involved in the role, so it leaves psychological sequelae, which is a situation that many actors have faced.

is like Lan Jieying, who played Luo Huiling in "The Great Era", playing a mentally ill person, coupled with life changes, she was replaced with severe depression.

And Leslie Cheung, even more because of the performance of the gloomy work "Different Space", fell into the whirlpool of depression, which led to suicide......

Gu Xiaofan had thought about this problem, but for him, this risk was definitely worth taking.

Although Gu Xiaofan did not deny it, Bell could already see from his expression that he felt that he was fine.

"I'll tell you honestly, even if you can restrain these negative emotions, you won't be able to mobilize your emotions for a long time, and you'll always have the kind of euphoria you feel like a clown...... Unless there's only one possibility, if you do that, I'll call the police to stop you......"

When Bell said this, his expression was resolute, as if he was threatening Gu Xiaofan.

Gu Xiaofan was a little stunned when he heard this, but he could feel that this indifferent British actor was actually caring about him, and suddenly realized what Bell was talking about, thought for a while, nodded solemnly and said:

"Don't worry, I won't go that way, the Joker can only win the Best Supporting Actor Award, and I won't be stupid enough to mutilate my body so much until I get the Oscar for Best Actor."

"Remember what you said, I don't want the Batman movie to stop filming because of the scandal." Bell watched him finish saying this, then stepped on the cigarette in his hand and left with a complicated expression.

Late at night, Nolan and Jonathan were also working overtime in their offices at Warner Studios, as was the norm after they filmed, and the brothers would work more than 14 hours a day and wouldn't go to bed until about 2 a.m.

Jonathan sighed while sorting out the information: "It's a pity that Director Gu's state can't be maintained forever, even if he has a few scenes no matter how well he acts, he must keep the clown in a consistent state, and he can't use his kind of flash of inspiration when shooting." ”

Nolan was looking at the previous video of Gu Xiaofan and Bell on the computer screen, and commented with an intoxicated face:

"Now Bale's Batman is paired with Director Gu's Joker, and the dominance is on Batman's side, but we all need Director Gu's Joker to get the dominance, so we must force him to improve......"

"This week, let's see if he can get into the groove." Jonathan touched his chin and said: "Although he can catch the clown, it is difficult to maintain any kind of crazy state, only a long time of continuous practice into that emotion, let the brain remember, and keep doing emotional training...... The Dark Knight will be the greatest superhero movie at that time......"

Nolan didn't feel very excited when he heard this, but said thoughtfully: "It's just that he wants to keep that state of excitement to the point of burning, I'm afraid it can't be achieved by imagination and figuring out the role alone...... Human psychology has a self-healing mechanism, and when you encounter too many negative emotions, you will automatically reject them...... If he wants to achieve his goal, he can't do it on his own......"

"You're saying he has to?" Jonathan had a surprised look on his face.

"I can only use addictive drugs to stimulate ......" Nolan nodded, a cruel look in his eyes.

"Would he do that?" Jonathan's mouth opened wide.

"Do you know why I agreed to take over as the director of this film?" A strange light flashed in Nolan's eyes, and he said slowly: "It's because I saw Gu Xiaofan's appearance that day that I knew that he was a person who could give everything in order to leave an indelible role in film history...... I made up my mind. ”

Extreme performances require extreme things, and many rock musicians in history will use illegal drugs in order to pursue that burst of inspiration, which is absolutely absurd in the eyes of ordinary people, but for artists, it is an indispensable path......

Rather than mediocrity, they would rather choose to die in madness......

"You know he's going to do it, and you're going to stimulate him?" Seeing his brother's cold and ruthless expression, Jonathan couldn't help but feel a cold and piercing feeling rushing up his spine...... The whole person shuddered.

"No...... It's not me who stimulates him, it's that he's calling us, and the clown played by Gu Xiaofan is calling me, cheering me for shaping him into this moment when he climbs to the top. Nolan looked at the ceiling, and an excited and low voice came out of his throat: "A character like the Joker originally needed to sell his soul to the devil in exchange for it...... If I were an actor, I would be willing to take this risk. ”

Jonathan listened to the chatter of his teeth, and felt a chill in his heart, is he working in a group of crazy people......?

The next morning, the preoccupied Bell came to the studio at 6 o'clock in the morning, but what he didn't expect was that Jonathan, who was full of anxiety, also arrived early, and the two met at the door of the building.

"Bell, why are you here so early?" Jonathan asked in surprise.

"You're not the same." Bell shrugged his shoulders, and after entering, both of them came to the monitoring room for the first time.

"Kyle, how was he last night?" Bell directly stuffed the $200 bill and handed it to the security guard on duty in the monitoring room, and he had to ask Kyle to help him keep an eye on Gu Xiaofan before he left yesterday.

"I'm scared to death......" Kyle, the young white security guard, took a few deep breaths before he whispered with a pale face, "I don't know how to describe it, you can see for yourself......"

Saying that, Kyle called up the surveillance video from last night, and the surveillance camera recorded everything last night in the room where Gu Xiaofan was staying.

(Note: Heath Ledger, a talented actor who originally played the Joker, died from taking drugs after filming.) ”()
