Chapter 81: A script called "Fragments of Memory".

"Faith is really a dog?"

Looking at the little golden retriever who lacked forelimbs but was strong and happy jumping in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of Christopher's mouth.

On the couch, Nolan holds a square glass with an amber whiskey flowing from it.

"Dogs can bark faith, maybe my script can still be saved." Watching Sean constantly use food to guide "Faith" to keep jumping, overcoming the shortcomings of not having forelimbs, Nolan took the whiskey out in one gulp, "It will be the most inspirational puppy in America." ”

"Of course"

Sean didn't lift his head, "I believe faith will stand up." ”

"I believe it too." Nolan nodded to Duke for pouring him the drink, his eyes becoming more and more determined, not knowing if he was firm in his "faith" to be able to stand up, or if he was alluding to something else.

"Christopher, no one has invested in your script on the road, do you want me to give you an idea with my discerning mind, you know, if it weren't for me, Sean wouldn't have played the Sphinx in "Speed 60 Seconds", then he wouldn't know Angelina, and there would be no scandals, and he wouldn't have filmed "Advance Los Angeles", "American Drug Lord" and "Gladiator", which is now being filmed, so ......" Duke said in one breath, deliberately pulled a long tone, looked at Angelina obscenely and smiled, " Then I won't hook up with Angelina, you see, I'm really an insightful artistic ......"

"If you want to die, I'll buy you a cemetery in Los Angeles." Sean looked at Duke coldly, which made Duke shudder, hurriedly swallowed the next words, grabbed Christopher Nolan's script and ran to the side to read.

Ignoring Duke, Nolan smiled and said to Sean, "Seriously, I really enjoyed your performance in 'Advance L.A.'". Previously, Doug Liman's film was released and received a lot of attention in the independent film circle. I had just come to Los Angeles from London. I like your performance in the movie China very much. ”

"Thank you, even though I know that you guys were more accurate at the convenience store before, I'm still happy with this compliment." Sean smiled and raised his glass.

"Do you care a lot about what other people think?" Nolan asked curiously.

"Isn't everyone living in the eyes and comments of others?"

Sean looked at Christopher Nolan and asked rhetorically, and smiled again, "We will try to change ourselves because of other people's comments, and we will also try to prove ourselves because of other people's criticism." The best and the worst make history, and the mediocre multiply races. I don't want me to be just one of the mediocre people, so I care, and because I have a lot of things that I care about, I try to be stronger. ”

"Pretty boring answer, right?" Sean tapped his fingers on the square cup, showing that he was not very calm inside.

"No, I like what you say." Nolan smiled and raised his glass to touch Sean, "Hopefully we can make history!" ”

"Dreaming!"

"Dreaming, of course!"

The two very boring guys laughed, and it seemed that the relationship was one step closer. At the end of the day, both of them actually care about what others think, but they don't care about what others think. They are one type of people.

"Men make history, women conquer men. So, women made history. Angelina sat on the handle next to Sean's sofa with her legs crossed, holding a wine glass in her hand and gently shaking the red wine, which was particularly charming.

Angelina's words made Sean and Nolan both smile in unison, and a hint of thought flashed in her eyes. It was the first time she'd heard Sean talk about what she thought about outsiders. She knew that Sean cared a lot about some of the comments in the newspaper, including those scandals with her.

The reason why Sean didn't say it now only proves that his anger at those comments is deeper, until one day Sean has enough energy, then these will explode together, and it will be terrible to think about.

This is a dangerous man, but also a charming man.

Not many brilliant women will like men who are willing to be ordinary!

"God!"

Just as Sean and Christopher Nolan were drinking and talking about life, Duke's shouting attracted everyone's attention, and even Naya, who had just taken a shower and walked downstairs, was startled by him and couldn't help but curse.

"This script is just terrible like a ball of yarn" Duke carried a dozen scripts, spat in Nolan's face, and scolded mercilessly, "No, this is worse and messier than a ball of yarn, can you believe the sadness that this high-achieving student from Stanford and Harvard didn't understand?" Shet, this kind of chaotic timeline is simply tormenting my nerves, can you imagine that I watched it for a long time and had no clue? I can't believe it!"

"Yarn balls?" Angelina took the script in surprise and looked down, but her brows couldn't help frowning. Seeing this scene, Naya, a top student at Harvard, also leaned over, and frowned at the same time.

"This script ......" Naya raised her head and glanced at Nolan, looked at Sean, and said in deep thought, "The story is not very difficult, but the way of expression is to disrupt the chronological order, and it is full of foreshadowing, to be honest, this script is a good script, and the story is not bad...... But—"

"But it's because the script is so messy, even a little messy, that it's hard to imagine what the script would be like when it was made into a movie. I guess that's why those companies are rejecting you. They don't think you can handle the script. You know, I don't think there are too many directors in Hollywood who can shoot this script and maintain the standard. Angelina said bluntly, "That's why your script is not being read now." ”

Seeing Duke, Angelina and Naya all say this, Sean couldn't help but pick up the script on the coffee table curiously, and came to mind a weird title.

Fragments of Memory.

After thinking about it for a while, Sean still doesn't remember the impression of this movie. Sean's most impressive movie is "Inception" and those few commercial movies in his head, and there are not many others. Even if it's those movies, he only remembers the synopsis, and you ask him to memorize "Inception" silently, Sean can't do it.

Seeing the first page, Sean's eyes couldn't leave the script.

Leonardo Shelby, this is the male lead.

Sean stared at the script motionlessly, frowning and thinking, sometimes falling silent and sometimes smiling, took out a cigarette and bit it on his mouth but did not light it, took the wine glass but kept it in his hand without drinking it, looked up at a few people, but his eyes were not focused.

Nolan smiled and said to Angelina, "This script is thanks to a novel by my brother Jonathan, MementoMori, and that story gave me this idea!" That's why I wrote the script for Fragments of Memory, and I think you've seen it too, my story is very simple, and it goes something like this......"

Sean read the script in his hand very carefully, and did not listen to Nolan's explanation, but read the story in his hand by himself. Duke and Naya listened to Nolan's explanation with their coffee, sometimes with a hint of surprise and sometimes with a hint of surprise.

Angelina is cross-legged on the sofa handle in Sean's hand, playing with the red wine glass in her hand, her slender fingers are like jade, and the fingers of her index and middle fingers are gently tapping the wine glass.

The story of "Memory Fragments" is very simple, it is the introduction of Shelby as the protagonist to his wife's revenge, but the male protagonist Shelby suffers from "short-term memory loss", during this period, he met a person, and the real revenge seems to be lifting the real veil layer by layer, but the more I look at it, the more I have a creepy feeling, and each character doesn't seem to be worth believing, even himself!

Sean has never encountered such a script that makes people want to stop, attract and mobilize his nerves. This feeling made Sean's blood feel excited.

An actor will always encounter a script that makes his blood tremble, and he does not have this feeling when he participates in "60 Seconds", although Sean likes "Advance L.A." and "American Narcos" very much, and has achieved self-growth, and acting is also very comfortable, but it is a kind of pious attitude towards dreams, but there is no sense of trembling in blood.

"Gladiator" Sean played very coolly, very devoted, and also integrated into Commodius, but it was a kind of self-breakthrough, and it was definitely not the exciting feeling brought by this "Memory Fragment".

But "Memory Fragments" is different!

It's really different.

When Sean read the script, he couldn't wait to figure out the characters in it, and after reading the story, he had an urge to play the leading role.

Angelina's hand gently caressed Sean's shoulder, and she felt the excitement of Sean's body and a sensation she had never seen in Sean before.

Ambition!

Sean tried hard, but never felt that way.

But Angelina knows that sometimes, ambition is an actor's best weapon. The ambition of acting, the ambition of excitement, the ambition of the role, the movie.

Christopher Nolan looked at Sean with a very expectant look. The image of the male protagonist in his mind is a dangerous man, and the image of Sean in front of him constantly overlaps with the characters in the play.

Sean's performance in Doug Richman's "Advance to L.A." made him remember the actor. Don't think that Doug Liman is not famous, his "Full-time Prodigal" has established his status in the independent film industry, and he is definitely a representative of the emerging directors in the independent film industry.

Later generations selected the top 50 independent film films in the United States, and "The Full-Time Prodigal Son" was among them!

This "Advance to Los Angeles" has also been hotly discussed by many independent filmmakers, although the structure is suspected of parodying "Pulp Fiction", no one can deny that Doug Liman has incorporated his own style into this film.

Similarly, when Christopher Nolan was watching this movie, Sean played Todo was extremely impressed, so he also had the heart to find Sean to star in his new film.

Sean has a temperament that he particularly likes, a bewilderment where a sense of danger and realism are intertwined.

"Does short-term memory loss really exist?" Sean raised his head and stared at Nolan seriously, his eyes looking very solemn. And Nolan was stunned when he heard Sean's words, and nodded with a smile.

"This is real in real life, and it is medically called anterograde amnesia. This short-term amnesia is a real case of a woman in Lincolnshire, England, who suffers from this symptom and can only remember things for 24 hours and forget them when she wakes up in the morning. I went to Lincolnshire to meet her and learn about her life, and it was! ”

Nolan saw that Sean listened attentively, and then popularized, "The human memory layer is actually divided into shallow and deep, and general amnesia refers to shallow memory loss. Preservation ...... in the brain"

Speaking of these issues, Nolan is very professional, and it can be seen that his preparation is not generally sufficient, and he is full of logic. His imagination is open to logic. This can be clearly seen from "Inception" and "Interstellar".

Then, Duke, Naya, and Angelina sat and watched Sean and Nolan discuss anything about the script with each other one-on-one, including a lot of stretch questions.

The two analyzed some of the daily behavioral abnormalities of the male protagonist suffering from this disease, discussed how to play the role, and how to shoot the film.

These are quite normal, but what surprised the three of them the most was that these two guys actually talked about this script, and they were able to talk about the analysis of human weaknesses, the woman's death posture, the clinical manifestations of amnesia, and the most stunned questions for the three of them-

Amnesia and sexuality, pre- and post-life performance analysis, and attitude transfer to sexual objects!
