"What? You say let me play the role of 'Arthur the Outposter'? How is this possible! It's a man! ”

Wen Wanqing's first sentence made Quan Bao'er tremble when she heard it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info bikini-covered body trembled and was obviously very surprised.

In the face of Bao'er's surprise, Wen Wanqing said firmly: "Just now I spent another two hours figuring out the script and character design before I thought of this trick, you have to trust my judgment."

Arthur is currently set up as a man, but we could change him to a woman - because I don't think the character is going to accomplish a job that is gender-specific. What's more, director Nolan has not yet found a sufficiently satisfactory actor for the role of Arthur. ”

At the beginning, Gu Mojie was still a little embarrassed in the face of the two bewitching jade bodies with white flowers, and he wrapped himself in a beach towel and sat aside to drink champagne. It's true that he's a scumbag, but he always feels that the necessary respect for his sister is still needed.

This kind of thing is too hurtful to the self-esteem of girls, unless it is requested by the girls themselves, it is not necessary.

After listening to Wen Wanqing's amazing words, he couldn't help but want to hear it. is no longer timid, and sits between the two girls generously, hugging the slender waists of the two with one hand.

"Be specific." Quan Bao'er was embarrassed to ask, so Gu Mojie helped her ask.

"Brother Jie, I think so." Wen Wanqing flipped through the script, her face flushed slightly for a while, then she regained her composure and began to explain carefully.

She and Bao'er both belong to the kind of temperament that even if they are held in the arms of their lovers, as long as the artistic cells burst out, they will get carried away.

"The character of Arthur the Outposter, is the protagonist of the main character, Dam. Cobb's partner and deputy. Nolan's definition of Arthur's skill traits is mainly composed, agile and brave, and skilled - these are very neutral skills, which can be possessed by both men and women.

As for personality, Arthur is a 'cold poker face', doing things at a glance, as long as he pretends to be cold there, from the beginning to the end. So his requirements for acting skills are actually the lowest among all the main roles. Ken Watanabe, who plays Saito, Eames, the pretender, and these male characters are actually much more difficult to create than Arthur.

Then talking about the role of this character to promote the whole play: if the dream builder Adrian is a character who 'represents transformation and growth', 'uses his own growth to map, and witnesses the growth of the dream theory in the film', Arthur is the opposite.

Arthur has mastered the 'general classical theory of dream-making' from the beginning of the film, and he has never seen his growth in the whole film, he is a solidified executor-

Director Nolan said that Sister Boa is too mature and has worked for too many years. I haven't experienced the young student years, so I can't grasp the expression of 'growth elements'. In this case, wouldn't it be better to directly let her play a 'role that has grown enough at the beginning of the film'? ”

"Huh? Can you deconstruct it like this? Quan Bao'er herself was also taken aback when she heard it, but if you think about it carefully, Wen Wanqing's analysis really makes sense.

When it comes to pretending to be cold, Bao'er can't be better. Take out her cool performance in the 03 MV "Rock-with-You" and transplant it, and you can use it directly.

Gu Mojie looked calmer than Bao'er, and after a few minutes of analysis, he found many new problems caused by such changes:

"In terms of skills and character, it's fine. But the change from male to female, this change is too big, and it will involve a lot of problems - for example, I think the main point is that Arthur is Cobb's assistant and colleague. If he were a man, of course, he would not have a relationship with Cobb, and it is understandable that Cobb's deceased wife Mal would not obstruct Arthur.

If Arthur is changed to a woman, how can we convince the audience: she has no feelings for the male protagonist? A woman who has been an assistant to a man for seven or eight years of birth and death is not normal to say that she has no feelings.

And you see here, in the second dream, when Arthur was the master of the dream, in order to divert the attention of the other mirrors in the dream, he took the opportunity to kiss Adrian - if it was changed to a woman, wouldn't it be a girl kissing another girl? None of this makes sense. ”

Faced with Gu Mojie's questions, Wen Wanqing was confident: "I don't think this is the main problem, and it can be dealt with with with a clever trick." ”

"What?"

"Set Arthur as a lesbian - that is, les! In this way, we can explain the reason why she stayed with Cobb not to get close to Cobb, but because she was an old friend of Cobb's deceased wife, Mal, who of course may not know. In the later plot, when she kisses Adrian, it is not a woman kissing a woman, but Les attacking and kissing. A lesbian who has been lukewarm to a male partner for almost a decade is also easy to explain, because that's a purely working relationship. ”

Gu Mojie and Quan Bao'er were so shocked that they couldn't speak: Wen Wanqing, this little girl, can't she have studied comics for too many years and was poisoned by Riman, right?

I don't understand it, but it looks like it's very powerful.

Wen Wanqing didn't have this awareness, turned the object of persuasion to Bao'er, and continued Amway: "Sister Bao'er, you think: You have debuted as a heroic and handsome girl for so many years, and now it's completely okay for you to play a 'girl attack' in les." And you have a lot of other skill traits that match Arthur's image very well......"

Wen Wanqing blabla said a bunch more, and the more Gu Mojie and Quan Bao'er listened, the more surprised they became, and before they knew it, it was late at night.

……

The next day, he returned to Legendary Pictures. Gu Mojie poured out last night's plan in one go.

Nolan was no less shocked than Gu Mojie was shocked last night.

This brain hole......

Gu Mojie didn't give Nolan time to react, and poured out the reason for his insistence in one go:

"We have analyzed that the importance of Arthur's character in the whole play can definitely only be ranked 6th - this film cleverly uses the setting of 'multiple dreams within dreams', so it is very simple to judge the importance of a role, which is to look at the number of dream layers that he accompanies the protagonist in.

The protagonist Cobb, his deceased wife Mal, and the rich man Saito all three of them have entered the ultimate 'lost realm', while the dream builder Adrian follows the protagonist into the quadruple dream, the pretender Eames and the villain Fischer follow the protagonist into the triple dream, Arthur only enters the double dream, and the pharmacist Yusuf only enters the first floor. So Arthur is only slightly more important than Yusuf.

The more the character is out of the shallow dream, the lower the acting requirements - because everyone else is in the 'next map of infinite streaming', and he is left alone on the old map. At this time, it is a one-man show, you don't need to communicate with anyone, and it doesn't matter if your acting skills are good or bad.

Arthur is out of the second layer of dreams, and he is a pure martial artist from the second half of the film, as long as he shoots the fight scene with the villain Fisher's 'Dream Guard'. I don't think anyone is better suited for this role than Miss Kwon Boa. ”

Poker face cold woman - is tailor-made for Gao Lengbao.

One board and one eye from beginning to end - it is tailor-made for Gao Lengbao.

Martial arts action scenes are tailor-made for Gao Lengbao.

"These ...... These claims are also too far-fetched. I can't accept it! Your opinion, at best, proves that 'it doesn't matter if Arthur is a man or a woman'. But since it doesn't matter, don't toss the script! Nolan felt anxious, and he was a little weak to refute.

Gu Mojie and Wen Wanqing glanced at each other, Wen Wanqing nodded slightly, and then came up with the last killer reason that had been discussed late last night.

"Who said, 'It doesn't matter if Arthur is male or female'? We feel that, in addition to the above reasons, Miss Yongquan has a number of reasons for 'political correctness' - don't you want the film to win more awards when the time comes? ”

"What? Political correctness? Are you kidding? Nolan had already been asked a little weak-hearted, but after hearing this statement, he felt funny, and his confidence seemed to be full again.

"Don't forget, O'Dark Horse has been elected president, and the next four years will be in power by the Democratic Party! Your script was prepared during the Bush presidency, and if you don't adapt to the times, you will definitely lose the score of political correctness when you win the award.

Look at those first-line manufacturers, what routine modifications are they playing now?

In those personal hero movies, the protagonist's boss must be a black man, although they all come late like the police in Hong Kong films, and they can't do anything useful; The protagonist's partner is generally a taciturn but decisive Asian who follows him to death; And then the villains can only be white - these are all plus points for compromising with the 'mainstream ********'. We asked for the film to be implanted with elements of political correctness, are you still not convinced? ”

American films, is there political correctness?

Of course, there are, look at the Oscar best pictures of those years: either "The Bomb Disposal Expert", which embodies heroic counter-terrorism, or "12 Years a Slave", which reflects racial correctness.

Especially for a ingenious film like "12 Years a Slave", even if it is a dog at the box office, it can win the Best Picture Award for political correctness during the term of O'Dark Horse.

The Chinese director Li Yu didn't think about making a reversal article -- he also made a film that reflected the American Civil War, and then there was a plot in the film that showed some black soldiers joining the Confederate army in the South and fighting for their slave owners -- and then Uncle An's film was harmonized, and there was no more.

Aren't blacks supposed to fight for the great President Lincoln? How could they willingly fight for their slave masters, who enslaved them? It's so discordant!

In the eyes of Americans,

The black slaves rejoiced in their emancipation.

Those who cry out, "What cat wouldn't want to die with a mouse in its mouth?" I'm going to die with a black slave in my mouth" and mutilating black people of the same race does not exist.

Liberia is the "land of freedom" in harmony. Those blacks who were released back to Liberia after the American Civil War would never be driven out of the immediate enslavement of local blacks.

This kind of ****-like beating, Nolan won't know?

Of course he does.

What goes against the "universal values of the free world" will also be harmonized in the United States -- if you think about it carefully, Americans really have no right to pity the Chinese, after all, the Chinese still have the freedom to shout "Long live the Führer."

He couldn't even find a reason to refute it, so he refused to give Kwon Boa the role.

In the end, he could only grab a life-saving straw and fight:

"That--in terms of acting, according to the last audition, Miss Kwon seems to be able to meet the role of Arthur. However, Arthur has a lot of martial arts scenes, action scenes - can Miss Kwon be competent? Do we still need to find a martial artist for her? ”

Gu Mojie smiled.

"Miss Kwon has been practicing taekwondo since '04, and after taking over "make-your-move" this year, she started boxing again to keep in shape, and her coach said that she has talent. If you need to have martial arts, let her audition for a real person, if she can't fight, I won't say a word and never ask you for a role. ”

Nolan gritted his teeth: "That's what you said!" This martial arts drama is not just an ordinary fight - there is a period of time in the play, the car driven by Yusuf in the first dream is in a state of volley, so according to the core self-consistency of 'falling in a state of falling cannot fall twice', Arthur in the double dream is in a gravity chaos environment.

For the specific shooting, we built a 360° rolling hotel corridor and supporting rooms, and the actors had to fight each other in the 360° continuous variable speed and tumbling corridor to express 'fighting in weightlessness and gravity chaos'. The skill of punch and foot fighting is secondary, and the most important thing is the physical balance of the actor. If you can't do it......"

"Needless to say." Gu Mojie rudely interrupted Nolan's Amway, "Do you want her to go to the corridor of rolling props you built and step on the butterfly steps of the two boxing champions Ali?" She has been practicing dance for 10 years, what do you think the boxing coach means when he says she has talent? ”

If a boxing coach says that a girl who is born in dancing has a talent for boxing.

It is impossible to say that "she punches quickly and accurately";

It could only be said that she was "agile and ethereal, like a ghost".

As soon as he said go, Gu Mojie's "palace elements" took Nolan and the photographer, as well as Bao'er and others, to Universal Studios (Universal Studios in Hollywood, the equivalent of Hengdian in China, with a special place to shoot special scenes).

Nolan personally rented a "weightless tunnel", and then invited a few martial artists who have been working at Universal Studios all year round to go in and audition with Kwon Po-er.

Five minutes later, several Wu Ti were all shaken down.

Quan Bao'er patted her clothes and swaggered out.

If she is allowed to fight against those martial artists on the flat ground, with Bao'er's skills in embroidering her legs, she really can't do it, or at most one.

But in the rolling quasi-weightless environment, her innate sensitivity attribute seemed to suddenly become more powerful. After a few strokes of the elimination belt, they all lay down.

Nolan had a dry mouth and was speechless.

"My God...... Miss Kwon, I'm sure you won't be dizzy even if you were thrown into a drum washing machine that could hold people......"

Bao'er smiled confidently: "Thank you for the compliment." So, Arthur is mine? ”

"It's yours...... However, now that she has become a female character, the name 'Arthur' is no longer available. ”

"Huh? Really? ”

"Arthur is a man's name!"

"Then let's call it Saber." Gu Mojie on the side interjected, and no one noticed that Wen Wanqing secretly whispered in Gu Mojie's ear. (To be continued.) )
