Chapter 154: Don't Cry, Boy

"Big mouth, this is the script that the captain asked me to send you, you can take a look. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Carl put down the script nervously, like Liang Xiaolong, he was often tricked by Julia, and the famous Carl Stream propaganda method originated from a trick activity by Julia and others. Julia smiled and asked, "What about the captain?" Carl didn't dare to hide it: "I returned to China for a trip, and the script was also faxed." ”

"That's right." Julia nodded and began to read the script, it is undeniable that the story is touching and can be dissected on multiple levels, first from the perspective of love, a battle between realistic erosism and magical romanticism. First of all, the story unfolds against the backdrop of magical realism, in which it is impossible for realistic love to defeat magical love. So, in the story, John's gentle and generous love did not win over Paul's fierce and selfish love in the end, John's love was tragic, but it was not a failure of personal charm, but a failure caused by the construction of a magical realist plot. In other words, John's love is not the theme of the story, but the most important hurdle for the heroine Tina to pass all the trials and sublimation emotions, and only John's failure can complete the already destined love affair between Tina and Paul.

At the same time, the story has a deeper meaning, which is to criticize social phenomena. The story takes place in Latin America, and revolves more around the kitchen and the bedroom, which are the traditional refuge and prison of Latin American women, and one can understand more deeply how the story contains deep ideas under the shell of absurd "magical reality", and the social criticism implicit in the careless wandering.

Julia read carefully, after more than ten years in the arts, her success is inseparable from her appreciation of scripts, and it is precisely like this that many of the films she starred in have not invested much, but there are not a few films with a local box office of more than 100 million and a global box office of more than 200 million, and she is definitely the most successful of Hollywood's many actresses, not one.

After reading it carefully, Julia came to a conclusion that this is a film that can get rave reviews, and it can also make a lot of profits at the box office, but it will definitely not surpass "The Runaway Bride" that Liang Xiaolong took before, so she began to pick bones in the egg: "Dissatisfied, very dissatisfied, I'll make a call and ask the captain to rewrite it." Carl couldn't help but smile bitterly, now he completely understood why Liang Xiaolong wanted to escape: "Big mouth, you don't have to call, the captain said, even if you call, he won't answer." ”

"You mean he has to take this film?" Julia was a little depressed and a little unbelieving, so she made a phone call, but no one answered, so she could only sigh lightly: "That kid actually ran away, and now he has no time to play." Carl smiled bitterly again: "You play him like this, it's strange if he doesn't run, you can't take this play, if you don't take it, I'll find someone else." Julia gave him a blank look: "Okay, you go back and form the crew, the director will find Steven, after all, he has cooperated, and his ability is enough to grasp this film." "Steven. Soderbergh is the director of "Uncompromising" and helped Julia win the Oscar for Best Actress.

In ancient times, the Shennongjia forest area was still a vast sea, which was gradually upgraded into a multi-level land through the movement of Yanshan Mountain and the Himalayas, and formed a bottom layer with distinctive local characteristics, such as the Shennongjia group and the manger garden group. It is located at the eastern edge of the second echelon of China's topography, and is composed of a medium-high mountain landform composed of the pre-buried extension of the Daba Mountain Range, and the mountains in the area are tall and gradually decrease from southwest to northeast. The average altitude of Shennongjia is 1700 meters, and the peaks are more than 1500 meters, of which there are more than 20 peaks above 3000 meters above sea level, and the highest Shennongjia is 3105 meters above sea level, becoming the first peak in Central China, and Shennongjia is also known as the roof of Central China.

Liang Xiaolongsan was ready to climb the first peak in Central China, the mobile phone suddenly rang, and when he saw that it was Julia's, he hurriedly pressed it down, and turned off the mobile phone by the way: "Dead mouth, I have fled back to China, what do you still want, you have the ability to keep fighting, anyway, I just don't answer." Rachel laughed, "Look at how you are, when you go back, Julia won't settle accounts with you." Liang Xiaolong smiled: "Then don't worry, after we go back, Julia has already gone to Latin America to shoot, and when we meet again, we have to wait for the film to be completed, and we will forget everything by then." ”

Liang Xiaolong and the three of them played in Shennongjia for a week, and the box office of the fourth week of "My Leader, My Group" has come out, as estimated by the media, the box office gap this week is relatively large, but it also has super strong box office ability, and won another $43 million in the United States, and the total local box office has been as high as 234 million US dollars. Overseas box office was relatively strong, still $64 million for the week, and overseas box office was as high as $300 million. The global box office totaled $545 million.

With such a strong box office ability, "My Captain, My Regiment" has set a box office miracle this year, Hollywood has not had such a strong film for a long time, and many people have predicted that "My Captain, My Regiment" will beat "Jurassic Park" and set a new record in Hollywood. Thinking of this, Liang Xiaolong felt a little happy and a little sad in his heart, although it was a good thing to break the record, but what could it be? "Titanic" will be released at the end of the year, and it will soon win $1.8 billion at the box office, and even if "My Captain, My Group" breaks the record, it will be broken immediately.

However, just looking at the box office doesn't mean anything, at least in the history of Hollywood films, the most watched is not "Titanic", nor the later "Avatar", but "Gone with the Wind" produced by Paramount in 1939. This film, which was released in the thirties, with ticket prices of only a few tens of cents, and even when many countries were publicly screened, it still won $400 million at the box office, which is an eternal myth. Moreover, this record stood for 34 years, until 1973, when it was broken by "The Exorcist", but in 1973 the ticket price was no longer a few dozen cents, but two or three dollars.

Back in Los Angeles, Liang Xiaolong also began to work on the play "Boys Don't Cry", and in terms of the crew, except for the actors, the others have already prepared for him. However, it is easy for Carl to do this, so he simply moved the crew of "My Captain, My Group", photographer: Bill. Pope, stylist: Wadme. Galinvisky, Editor: Conrad. Barf, set decorator: Dehan. Flynn, Costume Design: Nigra. Dee. Except for the costume designer Nigra, everyone else is in the crew of "100% Men", and it is the third time that he has cooperated with Liang Xiaolong.

"It's all acquaintances, and it's easy to use." Of course, Liang Xiaolong will not have an opinion on this, in terms of shooting, the more acquaintances they have, the easier the cooperation, and many directors will have royal photographers or something. Of course, everything must be based on the premise that the technology can keep up, otherwise no matter how good the relationship is, the director will not dare to use you: "In terms of actors, you have to choose well." "The main character is played by Rachel, but there is another very important character in the film, which is Lana, a single mother. Candes, that is, the lover of the fake Langton.

Rachel is already too familiar with the story to be more familiar, it can be said that since the script came out, she has been studying this play, not only interviewed the female Xing in love, but also often played a tomboy at home, and also wore Liang Xiaolong's clothes all over the place, making a lot of jokes, often making people cry and laugh. And as he became more familiar with the script and had a deep understanding of the various characters in the film, he immediately proposed: "Why don't you find Sophie, haven't you worked together, just work together again." ”

"Isn't that okay?" For this kind of thing, Liang Xiaolong is afraid to avoid it, so dare to say that he agrees, if two women collide together and make a fuss, it is not he who suffers in the end. Rachel smiled sweetly: "No, I think it's good, Sophie's acting skills are so good, she must be able to interpret the role of Lana well." Liang Xiaolong was busy making excuses again: "But you think, Sophie is the heroine of "Braveheart", although she is a supporting role in "My Captain, My Group", she has more roles than the protagonist, and now the demand is high, and it is very likely to be nominated for an Oscar, which will be rare for Lana's small role." ”

Rachel looked at him playfully, "How do you know she's unwilling?" That's how you know her? Liang Xiaolong almost didn't choke, but fortunately, he was prepared and said calmly: "Isn't this clear, who doesn't like to be the protagonist?" Who wants to be a supporting role? Rachel said, "Then you'll have to ask before you know, maybe she'll agree?" Liang Xiaolong said, "Okay then, I'll let Carl contact her." Rachel's expression remained unchanged, but the money laundering in her eyes was stronger: "Carl is not busy?" Why bother him, just call and ask. ”

This will, if he wants to cover it up, he has no choice but to pick up his mobile phone and dial Sophie's number: "Sophie, do you have a recent appointment?" Hearing this, Sophie couldn't help but be happy: "What? Want to work with me? Liang Xiaolong said: "I was just preparing a play, Rachel is the protagonist, and there is an important role she wants you to play." Liang Xiaolong said very directly, and even hoped that Sophie would get angry and hang up the phone, then he would be safe.

However, what he didn't expect was that Sophie was silent for a few seconds before making a decision: "Okay, find a time to send me the script, I can study it." After saying that, he hung up the phone, Liang Xiaolong was depressed in his heart, let these two women collide together, so is there still a way to live? But on the face, he couldn't move: "Baby, I really let you say it, Sophie agreed." Rachel giggled: "I'm blinded too, but I also think it's strange, as you said before, why would she agree to take this play?" ”

"I know, I'm going to revise the script, so I won't talk nonsense with you." Liang Xiaolong was speechless, he let her say everything, so what else could he say? I can only find an excuse to avoid the edge for the time being.

"Baby, what are you going to do with him?" Jessica giggled and leaned over, looking sly, clearly not in a good position. Rachel smiled and pinched her face: "Men are animals that think with their lower bodies, and in many cases they can't help themselves, so this time we must give him a hard time, let him remember for a long time, otherwise he will think that we are easy to bully." Jessica smiled: "Agree, then I won't take on the drama in the second half of the year, so I will follow the crew to cooperate with you." Rachel laughed, "He's working on the script in there now, and we'll ...... in a moment Hey. ”

Liang Xiaolong didn't know that he had been calculated, and was looking at the script. Although the film in the previous life achieved a great response, its director Kimberly. Pierce's handling of the details is obviously not in place, so that there are a lot of hard flaws in a good scene, especially the goofs shots, Liang Xiaolong remembers several, which can be mainly divided into coherent xing errors and era errors.

There are several coherent mistakes, the first is in the small room, when Brandon and Lana are talking, the wounds and bruises on her face change, apparently the director and the makeup artist are wrong; The second is that when Candace was hit, she lay on the ground with her legs straight forward, but the next morning, one of her legs was bent to the left, and the director, cameraman, and actor all had problems; The third is that when Brandon was hit, blood splattered everywhere behind her, but when John came over a few seconds later, there was no blood on the entire wall, which was again a problem for the director and set decorator; Finally, at Brandon's birthday party, John sits next to Brandon, and in between a few shots, Brandon's cigarette is behind his left ear, then jumps to his right, and then back to his left ear, which may be the director's excessive desire to emphasize her smoking, but in fact it only has the opposite effect.

It doesn't matter if it's wrong and wrong, unless it's a veteran fan, no one will notice this, and they won't deliberately pay attention to it. The mistakes of the times are most reflected in the time set in the movie in 1993, and it can be seen that some of the actors drank Celieriderale brand beer was produced in 97; In one scene, the tape is the song "D" performed by the girl punk band Theli, which was also released in '97.

Although many things are imperceptible, since he knew that the director in his previous life had such mistakes, Liang Xiaolong naturally wanted to avoid these mistakes and try his best to be the most perfect. He writes down all the possible mistakes in a pen, and when the shoot starts, he can occasionally review them so that he doesn't make these mistakes, and he also reminds himself not to make any mistakes.

As he was writing, Rachel and Jessica pushed the door in, each holding a pair of large scissors in their hands, looking at Liang Xiaolong and feeling cold, he didn't want to be the last eunuch in Chinese history. The two women sat on the desk one on the left and the other on the right, holding big scissors to manicure their nails, and from time to time they pressed hard, clicking, making him feel chills in his heart. But these two women just didn't speak, and Liang Xiaolong didn't know what to say, so he could only stiffen like this, but he still couldn't help beating the drum in his heart.

"Zi said, only women and villains are difficult to raise, and Zi also said, if you can't afford to provoke it, you can always afford to hide." Liang Xiaolong sighed secretly, decisively chose to transfer, and went to the study with a notebook.

"Sweetheart, his acting skills have improved, look at what scares him." Rachel and Jessica high-fived happily as they won the round. But this doesn't mean that the matter is over, when Liang Xiaolong returned to the room from the study, he saw that they had already slept, but the scissors were placed on the cabinet next to the bed, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It seems that it is safer to go to the study to sleep." ”

The study was safer to sleep in, but he forgot to lock the door, and as soon as he fell asleep, the door was pushed open, and Rachel and Jessica walked in with scissors, put the scissors on the side of the bed, and lay down on the left and right. Liang Xiaolong smiled bitterly again: "Baby, sweetheart, what are you doing with scissors?" Don't know that men are allergic to scissors? Jessica stretched: "No, I have to get my toenails trimmed tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to find scissors when I get up, so I take them with me." ”

If you can believe this nonsense, then it will be really hell, but what can Liang Xiaolong do if he is a knife and I am a fish, so Liang Xiaolong quickly got up and put away all the scissors, and then found nail clippers: "Sweetheart, baby, I'll give you a manicure for your toenails." Jessica lay comfortably on the bed and stretched out her feet: "Remember to polish it after cutting, and help us apply nail polish tomorrow morning." Liang Xiaolong was extremely speechless, but at this time, he could only endure it, there is a sentence that does not say, men are bitter, men with women are more bitter, and men with two women are bitter, let's be happy in suffering.

The next day, Liang Xiaolong appeared at Sophie's residence with the script and panda eyes, which made Sophie stunned: "You will have panda eyes?" "Yes, in her cognition, Liang Xiaolong will always be refreshed, after all, he is successful in his inner fist, even after staying up late, he is still full of energy.

Liang Xiaolong was also helpless, he had been watching out for those two women all night yesterday, his heart was in a mess, and his mental consumption was even more than staying up all night. He pulled Sophie and let her sit on the sofa, while he lay on his own, his head resting on her lap, and holding her waist: "You read the script first, I'll sleep for a while." Sophie couldn't help but laugh: "You're so worried about my conflict with Rachel?" Liang Xiaolong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I was tossed by those two women, I was worried all night, and it has nothing to do with you." Sophie said, "Nothing to do with me?" It must be because of me, right? ”

Liang Xiaolong didn't answer, closed his eyes: "Lana's role is yours, you see first, I have to make up for sleep." Sophie didn't bother her anymore, patiently reading the script, the whole story, although Blanton is the protagonist, but Lana's character is the emotional center of the whole story, revolving around the emotional relationship between Lana and Blanton, Lana and her ex-husband, which eventually triggered a conflict between Blanton and her ex-husband, which led to Blanton's killing. Therefore, whether the film can succeed, in addition to the protagonist needs to be performed in place, Lana's role performance must also be in place, only by fully expressing this emotional center can the plot of all aspects be connected, and the film can be perfect.

Unconsciously, Sophie has a certain interest in this character, because this character has a lot of similarities with her, the same single mother, the same desire for love, and the same emotional distress...... Of course, this is not the reason why she took over this play, she has more important reasons why she agreed to take over this play.

ps: These two days of the holiday, my uncle's family has also come back, the family is chaotic, there is no environment to write a book, so I only write 5,000 words, tomorrow to restore more than 6,000 to tell a small story, three years ago, it was also the Midyear Festival, and my cousin went to the town to surf the Internet, when I came back, I had to pass by the Martyrs' Pavilion, and I saw a big fire burning there from a distance, many people were celebrating, but when I got closer, there was nothing. I was so scared that I stepped on the gas pedal and ran away...... Mamadi, tonight is even worse, I'm the only one, I hope there won't be a mess on the road...... Absolute fact, of course, it can also be said that I am dazzled, sweaty, but I am hairy ...... in my heart now...
