"Calm down, Frank. Calm down. Lance picked up the whiskey from the bar and took a sip, leaving a blank slate. Frank still looked at him with a red face and a thick neck, his face full of disbelief, but the emotion finally calmed down a little.

Lance then went on to say, "Let's get out of the Sin City story first. Lance knew that almost everyone had fantasies about the role of Nancy, which was also a necessary element of commercial films, and if he deliberately blackened Nancy, not only Frank would not agree, but also the moviegoers would not buy it. It's difficult, it takes skill, and Lance needs Frank's help. So, Lance was going to change the subject first, "Well, let me ask you a question, how would you feel if you saw a beggar begging on the side of the road?" Sympathize? Commiseration? Or exclusion? ”

"Rejection! He has hands and feet, and he should use his hands to win his life. Frank barely hesitated and went straight back. Although Frank is forty-seven years old this year, he looks like the younger one in the battle with Lance.

Lance pursed his lips and nodded, "That's fair. But what if he's disabled? For example, the loss of both hands and feet. ”

"Oh God, then maybe I'll take pity on him and hope he will receive government benefits." Frank's expression had softened slightly.

"At the same time, there is also a woman with insufficient intelligence next to him, who looks like his wife, she has almost no ability to take care of herself, and her intelligence is only at the level of three years old." Lance expands the story further.

Frank was stunned and frowned. "This ...... It's a tragedy, what happened? ”

"As you said, it's a tragedy, so you feel sympathy, and pity." Reims's words are affirmatives, not interrogatives. However, Frank still subconsciously nodded in agreement, "Then you learned that this man was disabled because of a car accident, due to the other party's drunk driving." ”

Frank's mouth was wide open, unable to speak, but the expression spoke of his sympathy, and guilt—the guilt of the anger and disgust he had had had had before.

Lance paused here and smiled, before continuing after about half a second. But after an in-depth investigation, it was discovered that his wife had been abducted from a nursing home, and that he had not only raped her, but also detained her for many years and fraudulently received social assistance in her name. But in fact, the woman's family has fallen into despair, and they are tirelessly searching for their child, but they have no idea it. Their child was kidnapped by a disabled person and raped/raped. imprisoned, and begging as a beggar on the side of the road. ”

"......" Frank just opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say, and finally only held back the word "beast" in his mouth, and then froze in place.

Lance picked up his glass and took another sip. The brain became more and more active, "You see, in the position of this man, he does not think that he has done wrong, because he has received the punishment of the whole world. He has fallen to the bottom of society, so, he kidnapped a woman and stripped her of all power. In his opinion, this woman's IQ is only three years old anyway, and she has no ability to take care of herself, but he is saving the whole woman. ”

"Dog/!" Frank interrupted Lance almost angrily, but couldn't help but say, "Hell garbage! You mouthful-squirting/shit-pound! In the face of Frank's vulgar swearing, Lance didn't fight back, just with a smile, let Frank vent all his feelings, after a while, Frank looked at Lance with a red face and panting, but found that Lance was light and calm, and didn't even sweat, which made Frank choke, and then suddenly lowered his head and laughed, "So, that's what you're for, right?" ”

Lance raised his eyebrows, but he didn't smile, which was basically equivalent to acquiescence, which made Frank a little crying and laughing, rubbing the bridge of his nose in annoyance, hesitating again and again, but still didn't hold back, turned his head to look at Lance, "So, what do you mean by giving this example?" ”

"Meaning, Rashomon." Lance didn't go around in circles, "Everyone starts from their own perspective to interpret those crimes of selfishness and even breaking the law, but they just say that this is what society forces them, this is what survival forces them." It's as if the sins committed for the sake of survival are just right. ”

Frank finally tasted it, "So, you're saying you want to introduce that kind of meaning into the Sin City story." ”

In "Sin City", in fact, every character is evil, but Frank still leaves a few positive characters, such as Muffle, this ugly-faced, hot-tempered man is like a bell tower weirdo, who finally won Godie's favor and found a trace of warmth, but was coldly stifled and framed as a killer, even though he is a hooligan, but the image of justice is very obvious; For example, Nancy, a girl who suffered a lot of torture as a child, grew up to be relegated to a bar, numb and stiff in search of a way to survive in Sin City; Hardigan, for example, saved Nancy almost as a moth to a flame, and gave his life for her......

However, Lance now wants to inject a real dark side into these characters, not just to complete the theme of "evil against evil", so that evil can truly be evil, not justice in the skin of evil; At the same time, it is necessary to inject the darkness of Rashomon and establish the Sin City in its entirety.

"Yes, I have some ideas now, like Nancy, hasn't anyone thought about why she was kidnapped when she was eleven years old? I'm not saying that she did something wrong and deserves to be kidnapped, but her family, for example, what happened to her parents, whether the marriage broke down, or even those greedy ** government/government officials, or cold-blooded drugs/traffickers, Nancy couldn't stand it at home at all, so she ran away from home, and was targeted by Roger and kidnapped. For example, after eight years, what happened to Nancy, could it be because she encountered danger in the process of selling drugs/drugs, so she ended up in a bar......

Although he was also talking about the role of Nancy, Frank was not so excited this time, so he always wanted to interrupt Lance, but after all, he still did not speak, but gradually quieted down, and seemed to really start thinking about the content of Lance's words.

Another example is why Hardigan has a soft spot for Nancy and always goes out of his way to save her. Let's abandon those righteous reasons, can it be because he was too busy with the police/prosecutor's work to neglect his daughter, and his daughter was kidnapped and torn up? Or take it a step further and take her daughter to work, only to be met with a gang fight and his daughter killed, so when he sees eleven-year-old Nancy, he fights with a moth to the fire. ”

Lance's words made Frank completely lost in thought, his right hand supporting his chin, countless thoughts churning in his head.

"Otherwise, from another point of view, Hardigan is a dirty policeman/detective, he was corrupt and bribed, and was bribed by a drug/trafficker in an operation, so he turned a blind eye and killed his daughter without wanting to; Or maybe Hardigan is a dirty cop/detective who was seen by Nancy when he committed the crime, so when Nancy was kidnapped, he had to choose to save her and shut her up. Before the latter thought could be finished, Lance shook his head, "That doesn't make sense. ”

This blunt expression made Frank look up, and a smile appeared on his lips, "You don't have to go on with examples, I see what you mean." ”

Lance shrugged, "I know, it's going to be a very difficult thing to do, and it takes a huge character set to sort out every character. But this qiē is worth it, trust me. ”

To put it simply, these characters are all alive, and the stories that happen to them are intertwined to form Sin City. This massive project will not only bring the characters to life and Sin City to life, but more importantly, it will give the whole story an allegorical flavor that will linger even if you savor it.

"So, you're going to put all of that in the movie?" Frank said with some concern.

Lance waved his hand repeatedly, "Of course not. This affects the rhythm of the film and even the style of the film, which is simply suicidal. These backstories are just used to shape the characters and construct the lines, and they will not appear directly in the entire script, but whether the backstory exists or not, can be felt from every corner and every detail of the script, which is also what Lance deeply felt in the process of writing the scripts of "City of God" and "Murder by Knife".

Script skills, this is a very subtle word, but many times, the real script skills are reflected between the lines, for example, the character said something at what time, it may be just a sentence, or an action, a piece of clothing, but behind it is a rigorous and detailed structure, not easy, and then this detail can be integrated into the story, to highlight the story, or even to deepen the role, this is the script skill.

This is true of scripts by famous directors such as the Dardenne brothers and Mike Leigh. Lance hopes to follow in the footsteps of these big names, but of course he still has a long way to go.

"I mean, I need to write a huge library of information for the script, so, I need your help, after all, this is the world you created." Frank is to "Sin City" what Paul Rins is to "City of God", they are the original authors, and then use years of data collection to inject soul into each character.

Lance doesn't need Frank as a director, but he needs Frank to build a whole life, and even a soul, for each character in Sin City.

"So, Frank, would you like to work with me on this classic?"
