"In any case, Burton or Fallon caused the death of Angel's wife, and Burton, as an elder brother, because he really did not know, angered the other party with his vague answer at the funeral, laying the groundwork for the conflict that followed." In front of the Nolan brothers and Jackman, Sean continued to make his point. "And Fallon has been entangled three or four times, Angel sent a female assistant to find a way to steal his magic secret, but breaking someone else's leg is undoubtedly a bit too much."

"But if Angel steals Burton and Fallon's secret, their magic career will come to an end, so break Angel's leg so that he can no longer perform and can't talk about it." Jonathan reminded, a smile on his lips.

"There are many ways to make Angel no longer able to perform, but there is no need to be so intense, and Fallon himself went into battle, in front of countless audiences, which is tantamount to announcing to everyone that they will not die." Sean shrugged.

"So, you've proven from the side that Fallon deserves to die as a price, don't you?" Jonathan's smile widened.

"Huh?" Sean paused, but immediately reacted, "Of course not, the next thing I'm going to say - Burton acquiesced to all this, acquiesced to Fallon's trouble with Angel, acquiesced to him finding a lover, and didn't even stop his own wife's suicide." Yes, they live the same life and must remain loyal to the character, but in the same way, why should Burton escape the final punishment? ”

"Even if Burton has escaped, he will not be able to perform on stage again." Christopher interjected.

"But that's not enough." Sean spread his hands, "In my opinion, the best or fairest outcome is that none of the three of them died, but from now on they will never be able to perform on stage again, and they will always live in guilt, and as for Burton's daughter, they will be raised by Carter." ”

"Listen, what a cruel ending, and in the name of fairness." Jonathan immediately laughed, of course, he had no ill intentions.

"Fairness is sometimes cruel." Sean retorted quietly.

"I'll admit, Sean, your words are convincing," Christopher's voice rang out, "but you forget that there's an important rule in the movies that if you recognize your mistakes, you can be redeemed." ”

"Oh?" Sean raised an eyebrow, but didn't utter any more syllables.

Well, that's an important rule, although there are a lot of weird movies in the world, especially independent films, and there are a lot of things full of darkness. But as an unwritten rule, blockbuster movies are bound to promote some positive point of view, and redemption through repentance or recognition of mistakes is one of them.

A typical example is Ethan? Hawke's role in "Training Day", because he couldn't bear to save a girl who was almost ****, he didn't expect the other party to be the daughter of a gangster, so he saved his life later.

So, if there really is such a plot in "Deadly Magic", it makes sense, but the problem is......

"Is there such a plot?" Sean, who recalled the script, asked.

"Of course," Jonathan reminded, "just after Angel came back from Colorado, remember how Burton and Fallon had an argument?" Fallon says there must be a flaw and can find out, while Burton says it's all over, Angel has won, and don't go to see him perform anymore. ”

Sean paused for two seconds, then exhaled, well, with his familiarity with the script, there was indeed such a paragraph, although not enough—at least that's how he saw it—but if it was to be said, it made sense.

"I'm adamant about what I think, but ......," Sean shrugged after a moment, "since you said so, so be it." ”

"Sounds reluctant." Christopher quipped, "But, Sean, I'm starting to contradict myself now." ”

"Oh? What's wrong? "Sean was a little weird.

"First of all, I can be sure that it was the right decision to continue working with you, and the time and effort you put into the script is something we can see now," Christopher smiled a little, "but at the same time, I began to wonder if it was the right thing to ask you to star in this film, you see, you have already sided with the other side before filming started." ”

Suddenly, Ha Luha's laughter rang out, and then Jackman, who hadn't spoken much, reached out and slapped Sean on the shoulder: "Remember what I just said?" I've already won. ”

Sean shook his head and smiled bitterly, then spread his hands to them: "This is an excellent script, a very good script, it is impossible not to be fascinated by it, even if there are still some loopholes. ”

This is true, he was deeply impressed by this movie in his previous life, and now he is even more attracted to the script and reading it again. There is foreshadowing almost everywhere, and if you watch it again, you will find that many of the dialogues are so meaningful, and the best part is that the answer is told to the audience at the beginning of the movie, and they will not believe it until the very end - some people even watch it after watching it, watch it over and over again, and then make their own interpretation.

Sean sometimes even thinks that this is Christopher? Nolan's most perfect movie, not the "Dark Knight" that followed. Especially now Sean, who has a deeper understanding of the theme of the movie, two magicians for their magic careers, one sacrificed half of his life, and the other sacrificed himself countless times.

Enchanted, Jackman's characters have such a line in the movie, they are indeed enchanted, even if the most dear family is ruined, they don't care, this is the theme of the movie, what kind of price can be paid for their careers.

Think about yourself, if you want to be the best actor in the world, if you want to be remembered by history, if you want to be unsurpassed, you must do something that ordinary people can't do. For example, constantly trying various roles, constantly trying various types of movies, constantly cooperating with directors of various styles, and at the same time trying to find ways to ensure that they have a certain commercial value.

Yes, as he is doing now, it may be a stroke of luck to be nominated for another Oscar, but if it weren't for the good reputation that he had maintained with independent films, how could the film school be generous?

Even so, the difficulties are still not small, because the road he wants to take is the road that others have never walked, although Hollywood is not without commercial value and word-of-mouth honors, but there are very few, and people have gone through a lot in middle age to obtain these.

Sean wants to do better than them, wants to go further in their position, such as receiving honors at an unprecedented age, and great commercial value. It's not all out of the blue, Sean has already been nominated twice, and if he continues to be nominated for the next five years, every year is no exception, no matter how stingy the film school is, he has to think about one or two.

In addition, he also has his own industry, and is establishing his own voice in Hollywood step by step.

It's been six or seven years since he came to Hollywood, and under all kinds of influence, Sean is no longer the little hairy man he used to be, and he knows very well that this is not a good place. In other words, there is a bright side here, and there is also a dark side, if you want to achieve your goals, in addition to acting skills and word of mouth, identity, status, connections, and discourse power are all needed.

Just like the Weinstein brothers, a group of people were able to set up Weinstein Pictures as soon as possible after leaving Disney because of his decades of contacts accumulated in Hollywood.

Sean can't compare in this regard, he has only been in Hollywood for a few years, but he has advantages in other places, such as Samsara Pictures, such as Facebook, such as YouTube, such as TMZ.

If you want to be remembered, if you want to make your name deeply in film history, you must not only be the best, but also the most famous, the richest, and the youngest...... Again, the path he has to take is unique.

Of course, don't be obsessed, be moderate, and know how to advance and retreat, although the two protagonists of "Deadly Magic" are shocking, they are definitely not good examples. Sean thinks he's doing a good job at this, having a fairly clear head at all times, occasionally rumbling around, having friends to mention it, plus he has to constantly struggle to deal with his own woman - it's very exercised, really.

I will do it, and I will do it. Sean, who had many thoughts running through his mind, said in his heart.

"Okay, in that case, I take back what I just said." Christopher smiled and said again.

Although Sean didn't say what he said about "Deadly Magic", Christopher could still feel the sincerity in it, and this ended the topic.

"Well, let's get ready," Jackman, who received Jonathan's eyes, said, "As a Wolverine, I'm a little bit of a waiter." ”

This naturally caused another burst of laughter, but he didn't stop, but touched his chin and thought for a while before making a sudden expression: "Strictly speaking, according to the content of the script, it should actually be Batts vs. Wolverine." ”

Sean and the others couldn't help but be stunned, thought about it, and suddenly laughed again.

"It's a pity that this sentence can't be used for publicity, otherwise it will be a spoiler." Jonathan shook his head and sighed.

"I'm more worried about the other thing than that, Jonathan, this script is perfect, and Christo will make it into a great movie, but there's one thing you overlook," Sean said as he began to walk towards the dressing room.

"Oh? What is it? ”

"When the audience enters the cinema, they are guided step by step, looking forward to the story, wanting to know what will happen next. They're going to get into it, they're going to label the movie as suspenseful, and then — only to find out that the director is the last to tell you that it's actually a science fiction film, what do you think they'll think? ”

"That's true, Christo, you're in big trouble, haluha."

"Alright, guys, let's get ready to get started—besides, Jonathan, don't forget you have a part to do."
