Lance's intently looked at Mickey as if he were on pins and needles, and the playfulness in his eyes made him feel like a commodity to be sold, and Mickey's irritability rose little by little, and finally he couldn't hold back anymore, gritting his teeth and saying, "What the are you looking at!" ! ”

Lance didn't seem to be frightened, but leaned forward and said slowly, "I'm making sure you're a coward or not." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, David, who was sitting next to him, immediately pressed Mikey's shoulder, "Calm down, Mikey, calm down!" Unexpectedly, Mickey not only did not get angry, but instead stared at Lance with round eyes, "I'm fine." Mikey's voice squeezed out from between his teeth, which was said to David, but David still didn't dare to let go of his hands, and still looked at Mikey with some uncertainty.

"I'm fine!" Mickey said word for word again, and David hesitated for a moment, slowly letting go of his hands. Such a scene is really too joyful, Cole sits across from him seriously, but he is already laughing in his heart. Mickey stared at Lance intently, "What the do you mean?" ”

Lance didn't answer immediately, but unhurriedly took his briefcase to the table, then took out the laptop inside, and after turning it on, he looked at Mickey, "That's literally." Cole couldn't help but glance sideways at Lance, who knew exactly how to provoke people, "If you want to play the role of Muffle, you have to be tough enough, strong enough, brave enough, but you also have good acting skills, and I don't want a facial paralysis full of muscles - otherwise Arnold-Schwarzenegger or Dwayne Johnson would be a better choice." ”

Cole couldn't bear to look at him, Lance definitely knew how to provoke someone, because he could already see Mickey's fist clenched again.

But Lance didn't seem to realize it at all, and then said, "You're scared. You're rejecting, you're fearing. I'm not sure why, but if you don't feel like you're up to the task, I wouldn't mind ending today's audition right now. ”

“…… Mr. Strello. David spoke, trying to find a suitable title, and finally chose this honorific title - before he knew it, David had moved away from the idea that Mickey was the first choice, and put himself in a lower position, trying to fight for the role of "Sin City".

Lancelot plus the Coen brothers, plus Frank Miller. This is a proposal that cannot be refused, even if it is only a supporting role, even if the salary is reduced, he will win it for Mickey.

"Mickey is in a bit unstable today, his Chihuahua Loki is sick......" Mickey turned his head and glared at David, anyone with a discerning eye could see that David was talking nonsense, but neither Lance nor Cole pierced him, but David didn't seem to notice Mickey's gaze, "Loki is like his family." So he's been worried. But trust me, he's ready and he won't let you down. ”

Lance shrugged his shoulders and didn't respond positively. "We'll get to that point." Then, Lance turned to look at Mikey, "Are you sure you want to continue?" ”

Mickey stared at Lance, his fierce face slightly hideous. The clumsy facial muscles made it difficult to make rich expressions, and the muscles twitching in the stiffness became more and more terrifying. This reminded Lance of Muffle, who had several patches on his face, each of which was a medal from a previous battle. So much so that his facial expression was monotonous and hideous.

"Just let me see what you have!" Mickey said viciously.

In the list of co-directors of Mickey, you can see the names of Francis Ford Coppola, Michael Cimino (Michael-Cimino), and Barry-Levinson (Barry-Levinson), and Lance, a new director, naturally does not have much deterrent power for him.

Lance didn't mind Mickey's attitude, and directly turned the computer to Mickey, which made Mickey stunned, Lance handed over the earbuds, "You watch this video first, and then we'll talk." This is the opening credits I shot for the movie, and when you walk into the cinema, that's the first act. ”

"You shot the intro for the movie?" Mickey was surprised, it was a bold move, but at the same time, it was clear that Lance's creative philosophy was clear and firm.

Lance was noncommittal, and Mickey took the earbuds, put the peanut-sized earbuds into his ears, and clicked play. David, who was sitting on the side, originally wanted to say a few words to Cole, after all, he was only an agent, and he didn't know much about movies, and he didn't need to know too much - Lance plus the Coen brothers' sign was enough, but he saw a black and white image in the corner of his eye, which surprised David.

In today's Hollywood, shooting a black-and-white movie is simply self-defeating. What the hell is Lance doing!

David looked over, and then he saw Kate Beckinsale's thrilling flaming red lips, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

In the blink of an eye, the three-minute video was over, and David raised his eyes to look at Lance, flashing with a stormy light, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing, and the powerful impact almost made him a little out of shape. Mikey, who was sitting next to him, was expressionless, but he couldn't tell whether he was really expressionless, or his face was too stiff to see the emotion.

Mickey supported his chin with his right hand, as if he was deep in thought, and Lance was not in a hurry, leaning back in his chair leisurely. The aroma of coffee in the room seemed quiet and distant, so that the irritability couldn't help but settle down, and then Mickey raised his head and looked at Lance intently and seriously, "You said just now, this character is called Muffle?" You say that the character is a tough challenge, is that true? ”

From this discourse, it can be seen that if nothing else, the role of Muffer is played by Mickey.

However, Lance was not too excited, Muffle is the protagonist of "A Difficult Farewell", and in a sense, it is also the heaviest part of the whole movie. Lance needed Mickey to show the mix of evil and softness behind the character, the kind of good-faced bell tower weirdo was not what Lance was after, Muffle was undoubtedly a badass, and the only time he insisted was for Godie, who brought a moment of warmth to his heart.

"This is a scarred character, he is brutal, bloody, and ferocious. In order to achieve the end by any means, every wound on the face represents a battle. He was always ridiculed and ridiculed because he was naturally ugly, so he retaliated with thunderous means to teach those who laughed at him a lesson, and if necessary, he did not mind having blood on his hands at all. "This is the result of a discussion between Lance and Frank.

In the original comics, Muffle is actually disgusting and kind-looking, he is just fierce on the outside, but in fact he does not hurt others. People always look away from him, as if someone in the classroom had lost something, and the first one who doubted him was always black, and the second one was always him. This makes Muffle very hot-tempered, irritable and responsive to every oppression in society.

Now Lance has made the character even more evil, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, and when others laugh at him, he will never be stingy to fight back, so that his hands are stained red with blood. Lance intends to make use of special effects makeup techniques. A scarred face for Miki, as well as the palms of his hands, and the blood stains between his fingers that have turned into dirt due to drying will be his medal.

But for the sake of a woman, he embarked on the road of revenge. He is not kind. It's not soft, it's just ......" Lance's words were not finished, and Mickey took over, "It's just that he has his own insistence." Langston paused. The tail of his eyebrows rose slightly, and then nodded, "Yes." So. The role needed to be very delicate, and I needed the character to be brutal enough that the only insistence was that almost no one could see it, but it had to be felt by the audience. Therefore, this puts forward very difficult requirements for performance, especially line skills. ”

Lance looked at Mickey's cheeks, and because of the large amount of hyaluronic acid, Mickey had a hard time making delicate expressions - which was in line with Muffle, so Mickey could only perform with his eyes and lines. The problem is that the light and shadow effects of "Sin City" are too eye-catching, and the eye effect will be weakened, and more often than not, it will be shadowed, so line skills are crucial.

"It's not an easy task, you're my first choice, but it's not the only one." Lance didn't go on, leaving a lot of blank space for Mickey to think.

Mickey was silent, knowing full well that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only because the film was stylized, but also because he could feel that the character Lance was talking about was tailor-made for him.

How ironic his life is, at the beginning he was noticed because of his appearance, and he was considered an idol, even if he had acting skills, people always paid more attention to his appearance; Later, he was ostracized because of his appearance, and in the past ten years, he has missed countless opportunities, encountered countless cold receptions, and has always been up and down between the third and second lines, as if he can no longer see the sun.

And now, he finally received a decent work and a decent role, but he suddenly began to be a little afraid: if he has lost the touch of acting, he will not be able to meet Lance's requirements? If you can't interpret the depth of the character at all and ruin the character? If you mess up even this opportunity, will the future be completely over here?

That kind of gain and loss silenced Mickey.

David sat aside, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, he wanted to let Mikey next, he even wanted to speak on behalf of Mikey, and directly agreed to it, but he had no choice. David couldn't help but squeeze his slippery palms, feeling like he was about to run out of breath.

The passage of time began to get faster, and in the blink of an eye, five minutes passed, and Lance's voice rang out, breaking the silence, "I don't care about your past, I don't care about your future, what I care about is, can you play the role of Good Muffle?" If not, please tell me, I still have time to pick other actors. "There's no anger, no ridicule, no ridicule, just a straightforward narrative of the truth, without shock.

Mikey raised his head, looked at the blue eyes like an ocean, and after being silent for about three seconds, his clenched right fist slammed on the table, "I took it!" (To be continued.) )
