"Crunch-"

Alejandro. Gonzalez held two bottles of volts up to Sean, "Mind if I come in?" ”

"I don't like a man knocking on the door on a big night, but I won't refuse vodka knocking." Sean smiled and put down the Mexican beer in his hand, "So man, you took vodka's luck, and for vodka's sake, I thought I'd invite you in for a seat." ”

"Looks like it's not bad."

Alejandro. Gonzalez smiled and handed Sean a bottle of vodka, then glanced at the script that Sean had placed on the coffee table, "Reading the script?" ”

"I just think I'll start shooting tomorrow and want to brush up." Sean unscrewed the vodka and took a sip, Nunu mouthed, "It tastes good." ”

"Of course, authentic Russian goods. Here, even Americans like to drink Russian wine. "Alejandro. Gonzalez followed Sean's example and took a puff as well, looking out the window into the darkness, "See? The place always seems so gloomy. ”

Sean followed his gaze and looked at the dark world outside the window, not knowing what he wanted to say, just smiled and touched the wine bottle with the other party, and drank vodka to himself.

"In recent years, the U.S.-Mexico border has become increasingly chaotic as demand has grown in the U.S. market. The drug dealers are also getting stronger, and even the government forces can't do anything about them. Juarez is just one of these chaotic cities. Countless innocent people die every day......"

Alejandro. Gonzalez glanced up at Sean and shrugged his shoulders to laugh at himself, "Why should I say this to you, an American, what the hell...... Forget it, I'll leave these two bottles of wine to you, and I wish you a good dream. ”

Alejandro. Gonzalez's hand holding the door suddenly paused, and he glanced at Sean meaningfully, "I hope you really like this script." In fact, it's not so much a script that I wrote, but a script based on a real story. ”

"Every day it's like a script, they may be journalists, businessmen, teachers, doctors."

"This is Mexico at the bottom right now."

Alejandro. Gonzalez left. The Mexican director walked out of Sean's room with a bit of grief and indignation.

Sean held the vodka in his hand and looked down at the script. He doesn't understand Alejandro. Why Gonzalez said this to him, but between the words, the native Mexican filmmaker has his own views and opinions on the current state of society in Mexico.

True or wrong, Sean does not evaluate.

It's just that Sean sees in him the sharpness of a cutting-edge filmmaker. Mexico's social problems have created such a group of up-and-coming directors. He differs from Guy Ritchie's rebelliousness and eclecticism. Unlike Wong Kar-wai's style, which is a petty bourgeoisie, he focuses on the dark side of society and likes to discuss sociality.

Listening to the sporadic gunshots, Sean gradually fell asleep.

……………………

"Click!"

"Next!"

"Click!"

"Over, next!"

"Click. Next! ”

In a cornfield in the field, Alessandro. Gonzalez himself went into battle with a hand-held camera to film the actors who played the drug lords, his machine constantly shaking, without a hint of stability, filled with a bumpy shaking feeling.

Through the pickup, Sean was able to see the shaky shots he had taken.

The irregular, casual and natural shaking shots made Sean's eyes sitting in the chair too busy to look at them, and they looked particularly chaotic.

Sean has never been exposed to this kind of documentary-like filmmaking, with shaky cameras, weird shots that appear out of the ordinary, no concern for the change of light, and even the picture looks shaky. It's not so much a movie shoot as it is an amateur doodle.

But the guy who is holding the camera now is not an amateur, and he can be selected by BMW to direct a commercial, and he naturally has his advantages.

The movie "Love is Dog Food" has been screened in France, Spain, and Germany, and has received complete applause. And the director, after completely applauding the evaluation, resolutely postponed the film and decided to re-edit the film. He said the film could have been a little more exciting, because he thought 150 minutes would be more suitable.

With Alejandro. In Gonzalez's words, it took me three years and 36 drafts to retain three passages from the film. Can't it be postponed for a few months? The distributors who said this were all smacking their tongues, and they had no choice but to respect the opinion of the Mexican director.

This willfulness stunned Sean, who heard the news for the first time.

These things were told to Sean by the American translator, who was an employee of BMW. There's a lot more to it than Sean knows.

It is precisely because of his budding talent, talent and unique perspective that he was selected by BMW as one of the series of commercials. Thus being able to compete with Guy Ritchie, Wong Kar-wai, John. Frankenheimer is on a par.

The first scene doesn't have much to do with Sean, it's a completely different star, a Mexican-American actor who plays Harvey Jobs, and the name of this actor Sean doesn't remember. But it is said to be a character in "Love is Dog Food".

The acting is great!

This is Sean's evaluation after watching it, and I have to say that although these actors are not very famous, their acting skills are difficult to ignore. At the very least, Sean feels that the acting skills of the Mexican-American actor in front of him are not inferior to some Hollywood stars.

Sean still drove a BMW when he appeared, but instead of the 740i, it was replaced by BMW's new model, the BMW X5i, an urban SUV with a relatively balanced comfort and off-road performance.

Harvey Jobs, a war correspondent on the go, captured photographs of the horrific massacres of these drug traffickers. Sean plays the driver of the driver sent by the United Nations to rescue the reporter, and Sean's task is to pull the reporter to the United States and then give timely assistance.

On the way, checkpoints block their way, at this time, Harvey Jobs handed the film and his nameplate to Sean, and at the same time picked up the camera, like a soldier picking up a machine gun, and shot at the drug dealers.

In the last moments of his life, Harvey chose to use his own weapons to defend the civilians who had been tortured and killed. The reporter's actions shook the driver played by Sean, and at the same time, shocked Sean himself.

"You're saying Harvey Jobs is a real person?" Sean looked in amazement as he kept wiping the camera Alessandro. Gonzalez, with an incredulous look on his face, originally thought that night Alessandro. Gonzalez just had a feeling, but he didn't expect that the things in this script were really real people.

"The real Harvey wasn't so lucky, he didn't win a Pulitzer Prize, no one knew about his deeds." Alejandro. Gonzaleston paused and said lightly, "Not everyone's efforts can be rewarded accordingly. Originally, I thought about making this story into a movie, but BMW's commercial this time made me think that I could show it in a different form, so that maybe more people would see it. ”

Although Sean didn't want to admit it, Alejandro. Gonzalez was right. If it can be shot as a BMW commercial, then the short film and story are more marketable than being made into a movie. Not everyone likes to go to the cinema, but BMW's ads can reach a wider audience.

"I love the feeling of shaking, it can feel oppressive, but it's also able to show that insecurity." Alejandro. Gonzalez added, "Maybe my short film will be the last time BMW will come to me ......"

Sean was silent.

Alejandro. Gonzalez's approach to filming is very uncommercial and very personal. Although he explained so much to Sean, he couldn't hide the dilution of the BMW brand in this commercial, and focused more on other things.

Even the title of the film, called "Powder Keg", has a deep meaning. These photographs will naturally ignite the eyes of the whole world like a powder keg, and the journalist named Harvey detonated this powder keg with himself, attracting the attention of the public.

What Sean can do is to cooperate with the performance as much as possible, this is the first time, Sean is the protagonist, but he plays down his role more and gives more shots to the unknown Mexican-American actor behind him.

He represents those who have given their lives for something called justice in the world, and in this film, this Harvey is such a symbol. Filming this play, or this can't be called a play, it can only be regarded as an advertising short.

But this drama made Sean particularly depressed.

The shaky camera, the gloomy world, and the numb expression all set the classic of this commercial. Unlike Wong Kar-wai's faint pity, this commercial is the kind of short film that is suppressed from the first second.

When Sean finally finds Harvey's mother with a newspaper and a nameplate, he discovers that the old woman is blind.

This is Sean's first contact with directors in North and South America other than the United States, and their shots rarely seem to cater to any mainstream concepts, but they are more realistic, more real, and more naked.

It's like opening a wound and showing it in people's sight at once.

Saying goodbye to Mexico, Sean still remembers Alejandro in his head. Gonzalez's lonely expression.

It shows a heroic character, but the irony can only be expressed in advertising.

No one pays attention to the little people.

Just for the story to be known to more people.

Before leaving, Sean exchanged his contact information with the Mexican director.

Alejandro. Gonzalez watched Sean leave, holding a business card that Sean had left behind.

"If you have a film plan and you don't have the investment, come to me."

It's Sean's commitment to the Mexican director, who has a very different style and focuses on the dark side of reality and society.

Many times, a single touch gives rise to a commitment, and a commitment can often bring unexpected results. (To be continued.) )
