Although I don't know where Levy's confidence that Pitt will like the script comes from, since Levi said so, Clark also believes it: Levy's appreciation of movie scripts, he still believes.

If an actor genuinely likes a script, then the effect of the performance will be very different, Clark knows this, and he is also confident in Pitt's ability, he believes that Pite can do it well.

It's just that Levy said Pete's name, which still surprised him a little, "I thought you didn't like Pete very much." ”

"I don't really like him too much, but there's no need to deny his acting skills, just like I don't like the way Dai Lewis treats Adjani, but I admit his acting skills." Levy answered the question immediately, but after speaking, he thought of something, "If they really agreed to our arrangement, then in other words, in this play, Pete and Aniston play husband and wife?" ”

"Any questions?"

Levy shook his head, this idea should be left in his heart. Anyway, in his own crew, what do you have to worry about?

"If this role is also decided, then there will only be one final protagonist left. The undercover of the police into the gang is also the core character of the whole film - the choice of this character is the final difficulty. ”

The four people in this movie have the heaviest roles and the most pressure, and they are also the most brilliant characters in the movie, after all, they are still undercover agents of the police. Although the two undercover agents are tormented, and they are entangled and struggling in their hearts, the undercover agents who broke into the police have their own good life and do not want to lose their lives and struggle. Breaking into the undercover of the gang is to lose his good life and struggle painfully to return to society. Compared to another undercover agent. This guy has more performances.

"According to the requirements in the script, this person should be about 30 years old. People around 30 years old, so the actor who plays him has to be an actor born in the 60s...... It's really hard to find. ”

Clark said this, which made Levy nod his head.

Theoretically, the difference between the age of the actors and the age of the characters in the play is about 8 years old, but when it comes to acting, men are generally older, while women are younger. Naturally, women don't have to say it. Young women are always attractive in movies - for women, youth is capital. And for men, sometimes, age is the capital.

Among the young actors, it is not that there are no good actors, but they can't do this kind of play for the time being. Leonardo, for example, is just 25 years old and is too young in appearance. Coupled with his somewhat handsome face, he doesn't look like someone who gave birth to a child seven years ago - and Leonardo has been a little slack since he finished filming the big ship. As far as Levy knew, it wasn't until after 2002 that he started to get serious. At this time, he doesn't have much ambition.

Similarly. is also talented, but needless to say about the younger Heath Ledger, it is difficult for a 20-year-old to perform the vicissitudes of ten years of undercover. Age discrepancies are their biggest problem, and Levy doesn't think about them.

But now it's 99, and if you want to find someone with the right grade, you have to find someone born in the 60s, and among these people, it's still difficult to find a person who plays this play.

These people in the 60s just caught up with the progress of media conditions in the early days of their debut, and many of them debuted as young idols when they debuted. And the identity of the idol faction also restricts their growth to a large extent. The best example is Tom Cruise, because after starring in the Night Interview Vampire, female fans protested against him playing the opposite role, and he made a promise not to play the opposite role again - such an extreme example also shows the self-limitation of their group of actors.

Among the several idols in the early 90s, Pete was considered to have a relatively successful transformation, and Depp had more restrictions on himself, and he had always been more individual throughout the 90s, which can be said to be a character who did not follow the usual path, until the filming of Guillotine Valley was on the right track. And among the other idols, Matt. Although Dillon's acting skills have come out, his fame has entered a trough, Donnie and Charlie Sheen belong to playing to death by themselves, Ruifan. Phoenix can only be said to be really unlucky, and Keanu Reeves simply lived out of the realm - among these people, there are not many who have really embarked on the road of acting, and in the late 90s, most of them are still wandering in their idols and acting school identities, and it can be said that it is difficult to find a suitable person.

"I also hope that this actor will find someone with better acting skills......" Levy also thought more about the name, "I also have an idea, what do you think of Edward Norton?" ”

For this character, Levy thinks the most, and he proposes the most optimistic candidate for himself. In this batch of actors in the '60s, Levy believed that Edward. Norton's acting skills are the most suitable person to play this person. This character is the real protagonist, and Levy naturally wants to find a better actor as well.

"Edward Norton isn't a good fit, is it? This actor plays a neurotic very well, but when he plays a normal person, he is a little worse. Clark frowned, "Norton's suitable characters are some characters who are cowardly on the outside, but treacherous and cunning on the inside, and can even be described as perverted - like his famous first-level fear, or the characters in the X-Files, are all in this way." The protagonist in this play requires a melancholy appearance and restless heart, can he play such a role? ”

Clark was a little hesitant about Edward Norton's acting skills.

The actor's performance since his debut is indeed genius, and Levy remembers that in several movies, his acting skills were amazing. But later, people gradually discovered that most of his good performances were more neurotic and crazy images. Whether it's Level 1 Fear or The X-Files, his roles are perverted, and he plays such roles brilliantly, but other roles are not so classic.

Ordinary people act as normal people, and they can't play crazy people well. Therefore, when seeing a person who can play a madman well, people naturally think that his acting skills are extraordinary. However, as his acting increases, people think that this is also a more idiosyncratic actor - he can play a good role in the neurosis that ordinary people can't play well, but he can't play a good ordinary person who is good in ordinary people. Although when he first debuted, he was shocked by Hollywood and thought that his acting skills were outstanding, but as time went by, his evaluation of him has also declined.

Although Pete has not played a successful person, he has always played a lot of different images and has succeeded, while Norton's success is a bit of a neurosis, although the protagonist in this play is doing psychological counseling, but this is not a real neurosis after all.

Clark's worries also came from this.

"I don't think he can only play a psychopath, his acting skills are actually quite good, he is suitable for playing, is the kind of character that has a great degree of contrast between the inside and the outside, the greater the contrast between the inside and the outside, the more brilliant he will play - it's just that this kind of role, in movies, is generally mostly perverted."

Levy thinks he can play well, and naturally he has a reason: in Levy's memory, Norton not only played a psychopath, but he also played other roles. For example, in "Heavenly Dynasty", which left a deep impression on Levy, he played Baldwin IV, who was not a psychopath. Moreover, that play was also the key to Levy's belief that Norton could perform well: in that play, he always wore a mask, but he relied on his eyes, body and voice to perform a movie. And in this scene, Levy also very much hopes that the actors in the movie can show good enough eye contact.

This is to play an undercover agent, and the undercover agent is a person who performs a play-within-a-play, they can't have too many facial expressions, and more often, they have to rely on their eyes to complete the performance. The actors in the Hong Kong version are very good at expressing their eyes, which is also what Levy hopes to show in his own movies.

"This character is also an actor who has a big gap between his heart and appearance, so I think he can try it. And, most importantly, is this actor someone who needs to play a lot of rivalry with De Niro and Liam Neeson, and play with these actors, is it generally okay? ”

In this play, the biggest problem is that the actors have a lot of rival plays, and many parts are suitable for top actors to play rival plays. If the acting skills are slightly worse, then the dialogue with the top actors will be completely suppressed. When the top actors perform, their demeanor, eyes, and movements are all freely controlled and rhythmic, and when playing with such actors, it is not only the individual that needs to be considered, but also the overall environment of the play.

It's very hard to do that.

"I think Norton is the best candidate. Of course, maybe letting him star in this play will require him to prepare and work harder, but I believe he can play it well. ”

"Then let him try, I can't think of a more suitable candidate anyway." Clark thought for a moment and agreed with Levy's statement, and at the same time, he laughed, "Nick, what the hell are we doing?" The script hasn't been written yet, and we've already started to select actors by name throughout Hollywood. ”

"What's so strange about that? Isn't it every director's need to choose the most suitable actor in Hollywood? Levy just smiled at Clark's exclamation, "We do it because we can do it - and, believe me, even if I don't even have a script, there will be people who will flock to my films." (To be continued......)
