Section 306 The Wall-Facing One

After finalizing a role that is the easiest to finalize, Levy's next thought is naturally another person who faces the wall, the former US Secretary of Defense, Frederick. Taylor.

In the story, this character is also a wall-facer, and this wall-facing person is also the first of the four to be seen through. He has his own strategy, but his strategy is too simple, it is simply guessed and broken.

In the story, Da Liu is talking about the strategy of Westerners, which has weakened and declined because of the long-term possession of power, and in the movie, Levy also thinks that it is better to let him fall first.

If one of the four wall-facing people is going to fall first, he is the most suitable. Because this person's character is set to be the former Secretary of Defense of the United States, and in the United States, the position of Secretary of Defense is by no means a particularly flattering position.

At this time in 05, the United States was fighting on the Iraqi side, and it was precisely because of the deep mud on the Iraqi battlefield that the anti-war sentiment in the United States was high, and the representative of the hawks in the United States, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, who has always been known for being tough, was also controversial. In the media, there is always no shortage of ridicule and accusations against him, from the Pentagon warlord to the winner of the most incoherent award in the United States, all kinds of words have been thrown at him.

Therefore, if Levy were to put a person with the status of former US Secretary of Defense in the movie, people would probably think that Levy was alluding to Rumsfeld -- after all, Hollywood has always been an anti-war stronghold, and it is not surprising to say this. Compared with foreign politicians and scientists, the hawks in their own country are the first to be defeated, which is also a happy thing for many people......

Of course, Levy also knew very well that by the time the movie was released, the war would be over. Then the irony will not work. However, there may be other things that Levy can't remember clearly, but this thing Levy clearly remembers, the end of the war? Obama came to power, and the battle was not over. On the contrary, it is more likely that Rumsfeidel will really become the former defense minister.

As for the selection of this actor, what Levy hopes to look for is slightly different from that of Rediaz. The character of Ray Diaz needs to highlight the charm of the aspect, portrayed as a character who is both good and evil, while the character of Taylor is more of a show after stripping away the disguise. The image of a 'tough guy' who exposes his vulnerable side. This character doesn't need to be so charming, but it needs to be more tough-guy.

And in Levy's vision, there is a natural one who is the most suitable person -- Clint . It's definitely good for Eastwood to play this character. It's a pity that Eastwood is now a director himself, and he can't afford to play tricks in Levy's films. And even if he is really willing to act, judging from his reputation and status over the years, his salary will definitely not be too low, and he wants to be played. That's also almost impossible.

And if you want to talk about the old actor, Levy has just been with Jeff. Bridges has worked with him to star in it, of course. It's a pity. In Levy's opinion, his image is not quite suitable. Playing a charismatic old man, he can do a good job, but he can play a two-faced politician. His image is not suitable.

There is another actor who looks suitable, and what Levy can think of is Malcolm. McDowell. on his image. It is also very much in line with the image of a hawkish politician. This actor is a very suitable candidate from age to appearance, and it is not bad for him to play this role.

However, after thinking about it, Levy also thought of another candidate: Martin. Xin, an actor, may be surprisingly good at playing this role.

Martin Sheen is also a veteran Hollywood actor, he has been making movies since the 60s, and he has been active for 40 years. His acting skills can be said to be very good, and he can even be said to be unique in playing this role.

In terms of image and ability, he is a very good actor. Moreover, at the turn of the century, he starred in the TV series White House, which was also a long-term hit drama, in which he also played a politician, and he was also a Republican politician.

If you invite him, maybe it's a good idea. This role, after all, is not too positive, prepare two alternatives, in case one of them refuses to accept, the other just makes up for it.

Write down the name, and the next name is the third wall-facer, Bill. Seanes is a man.

In the story, this is an Englishman who has won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in science, is a very successful researcher, and in politics, he has joined the European Union, where he was the president of the European Union for two and a half years. Unlike the previous two, his strength lies in his mastery of both science and politics.

Moreover, behind this character, there is another character: in the story, his wife Keiko Yamasugi is also an important figure. His wife has almost as many roles as him, and where he needs to act, his wife needs to appear, so when considering this person, he also has to consider his wife's choice of actors.

And this character, what needs to be chosen is the image of an English gentleman. Compared to the charismatic that Rediaz needs, the tough guy image Taylor needs, his image is more representative of old Europe, and he needs to be more personable in terms of temperament and ability to act. Moreover, in the story, his plan is also the last to be seen through, and even his wife, who is with him day and night, has not been able to see through his plan - in a way, this is also an extremely black-bellied person, and it is only appropriate to play this role, that is, those black-bellied gentlemen in England.

And in the choice of this character, Levy of course also set his sights on European, especially British actors.

And in terms of the choice of this character, Levy also finalized the candidate after thinking about it for a while.

The best option, in his opinion, is Ralph. Fiennes this person.

This actor can definitely adapt to any requirement in terms of acting skills. In Levy's memory, he has participated in many movies, from Schindler's list of officers to Harry Potter's Voldemort, he can play them all, the scene is broad enough, and the ability is good enough, which is one of the most important reasons why Levy chose him.

And another reason is that in terms of temperament, he is indeed extremely outstanding. In Levy's memory, if it comes to temperament, the most outstanding temperament among female actors is undoubtedly Kate. Blanchett, while able to and Kate. Blanchett's temperament is not down, Ralph. Fiennes is definitely one of them.

Compared to some of the more active actors, such as Christian. Bell and others, his popularity may be as good as that of others, but when it comes to acting skills, he is definitely more skilled.

When Levi chose these characters, he took into account a very important thing: these three characters need to be actors who can perform complex human nature such as good and evil, they can't just show good or evil, they need to express the good and evil of a politician, and such actors are the most suitable.

And Ralph. Fiennes, who has such an ability.

For British actors, it is not difficult to perform with enough temperament, and Levy believes that letting him play this role can definitely be very outstanding.

As for the role of his wife, Levy's idea is that it would be better to give it to a certain Chinese actor.

In terms of performance, Chinese actors are still quite powerful, especially the older actors, many of whom are real masters of acting. In comparison, Japan's older actresses are still slightly inferior to China, especially in terms of women, and there is a big gap between Japanese actresses. This role can't be a young man, so Levy naturally thinks more about Chinese actors.

Of course, like Say's character, he is not unable to consider using some of the more Asian-American actors who are active in the United States. But what makes Levy very entangled is that these Asian actors in the United States are really not good-looking. If his own movie were to find them, Levi was sure that Asians would not appreciate it.

Therefore, it is better to find a Chinese actor to play it.

Of course, he is not prepared to change the background of this character: in the novel, this character is a Japanese, a brain authority, and a person who is also influenced by Timothy. Leary is a person who has a deep influence and also has a deep knowledge in psychology. And Chinese psychology has produced a great generation, it was completely developed after the 80s, compared to Japan is too far behind, this character, or designed as Japanese.

And after these people are finalized, the rest is the last person to face the wall, and he is also the actor of Luo Ji, who can be called the protagonist of this movie.

Like in the first part, this character, Levy also wants to adapt him into an American - in the eyes of American audiences, things like saving the world have to be done by Americans - and this character is different from the previous people, the previous people are all politicians, whether they are good or dark, they all have their own thinking and starting point.

And this character, to a large extent, is a person who blends into the team of wall-facers. He has no political talent at all, he is cynical, prodigal, and willful when he does things, if his wife and children were not taken away, he would not even have the courage to take responsibility. His idea was originally just to defraud scientific research funds and sensationalize, but he was caught in this whirlpool and couldn't get out of it, and was finally forced to fight with the Trisolarans.

In a sense, this is also a microcosm of more ordinary people, and what makes them rise up can only be related to their vital interests. He is not a politician, and the selection criteria for several other actors are naturally different.

It's just that this character also needs to be carefully chosen. After all, under the premise that the Trisolaran is getting closer and closer, he is still enjoying life, and he is forced to resist until the end, such a person, if he chooses the wrong actor and can't perform the charm of the character, it will be easy to be hated by people.

And this person, after Levy thought about it, he immediately had a candidate. (To be continued......)
