Chapter 572: The Universe is Reversed
The air is a little quiet.
Obviously, Eric and McGee did not expect that Anson would take the initiative to start a conversation.
Unexpectedly, Anson’s first question was, “Why do you think I am suitable for the role of Evan?”
Eric looked at McGee, and McGee looked at Eric. They thought they were fully prepared, but they both got stuck on the first question:
To be honest, they really haven't thought about it.
And, more importantly, when Anson asked this question, his brain started to work and he really started to think, but he found that there was still no answer.
They knew that Anson was a handsome guy, and they also knew that Anson was charming, but when they sat down face to face, they realized that they had no idea at all.
The Anson in front of him, his free and uninhibited, free and lazy temperament completely defied expectations. Whether it was his hairstyle, clothing, or aura, everything deviated from expectations, so much so that his brain was now in chaos.
So, is Anson really suitable?
As soon as their brains turned around, they realized that they... actually had no answer. They opened their mouths but got stuck. This was completely different from the scene they had imagined.
Could this disaster be any worse?
McGee took a deep breath, managed to regain his composure, and tried to force out a smile, "Anson..."
The words were not coherent because he was still not confident.
So, Anson interrupted again, without letting McGee continue to explain, and showed a smile, "Haha, you are in a dilemma, right?"
"I know that you are looking for investment, or you are looking for a name so that your project can find investment. I am the name."
"You can say that I am just a gimmick and a title."
"Not the actors."
Eric grew uneasy.
Anson noticed it and kept smiling, "Don't worry, I'm not planning to get angry. This is not a question, I'm just discussing a fact."
"I mean, I don't mind being a gimmick. But the point is, assuming we find the funding and the movie goes into production, if I'm not the right actor, I'm not the right actor for the role of Evan, the movie won't even get made. It will be successful."
"My career as an actor may be slightly hindered, but what's worse is that the script you worked so hard on was in vain, which will hit you even more severely."
"So, I guess not any name will do, right?"
"Have you ever thought about it, why me?"
"A vase, an idol, is he suitable for this project? ?”
"What if - just a hypothesis, I am not the right choice at all?"
Transparent and sincere.
The words Anson raised were also the focus of repeated discussions between Eric and McGee, but they did not expect that Anson would bring them up as soon as they met.
Things are deviating from the expected track.
When McGee looked at Anson again, his eyes changed slightly. From coming on stage to greeting and then getting to the point, Anson's reaction completely exceeded expectations. He not only took the initiative——
Maybe, they are all wrong.
Taking a deep breath, McGee regained his composure.
“Absolutely. You’re right for the role.”
“We watched ‘The Princess Diaries,’ we watched ‘Spider-Man,’ and you did an amazing job in the character you played. , you can not only see a simple middle school student, but also see his thinking about life and pursuit of ideas. His charm radiates from the inside out. "
"The character can impress the audience. , it’s definitely not a coincidence or luck, your performance gives life to the character.”
"We believe that you can play the role of Evan perfectly."
With the affirmation, it can be seen that McGee is sincere. Regardless of his true thoughts in his heart, at least there is nothing wrong with the posture shown at this time. However, Anson didn't buy it.
Anson raised his chin slightly, "So, everything is about me, not about Evan."
McGee was stunned, "What? ?”
Anson continued, "Those compliments were all about me and nothing about Evan. It was like a bunch of clichés that could be applied to any actor, no matter who the actor is sitting here today. , can be applied, because it has nothing to do with the role.”
“You are just trying to convince me to take this project, but you still haven’t answered my question: Am I suitable for the role of Evan?”
< br>McGee: ...
The atmosphere was slightly tense.
The smile on Anson's lips rose, "Relax, relax. This is not a court, and you are not the defendant. I am just trying to start a conversation."
"Let me guess, you have never thought about whether the actor is suitable for the role, because when you created this story, you focused on a setting, a concept, and a gimmick, but you never really thought about the root of the character, which is the character. Motive."
"Naturally, you have no requirements for actors."
"Honestly, it doesn't matter whether it's a vase or a talented person who plays this role, because the actor is not at all. The point, right?”
——This is a bit harsh.
Eric glanced at McGee.
If it were normal for someone to criticize their script, McGee would have repelled it.
They spent seven years working on this script. They knew every detail and every part of it, and they repeatedly changed and revised it. Although it cannot be said that there are no loopholes, no doubts can escape. But their eyes.
If someone criticizes or refuses, the two of them will absolutely refuse to back down and defend the script, and may even stall cooperation negotiations because they are too strong.
However.
At this time, McGee was speechless. Things seemed to be out of their control from the beginning.
More importantly, Anson is sincere and gentle, without provocation or arrogance, and talks completely on an equal footing.
Unknowingly, they actually listened to Anson's words——
This was a new experience.
Since the two screenwriters were silent, Anson continued.
“The details and loops of the movie are all perfect, and you can really see your efforts in constantly thinking and adjusting, but in this story, Evan is still not a complete person.”
< br>
"If he loved Keller so deeply, even to the point of flying a moth to a flame, why did he never contact her, not even a single phone call, during the seven years they were separated."
"Or, There is no phone, but there is no trace of her in his life."
"This is the root cause and the motivation."
"Of course, in commercial movies, this kind of motivation is often used. It doesn't matter, a sentence of "Long Live Love" can make all stories reasonable; but the difference in this movie is that this love becomes the fulcrum that moves the entire earth, and even becomes Evan's motivation to burn his own life. If the movie It is undoubtedly a pity that it is not made clear. "
"Especially when the film is so perfect and impeccable in other details, it leaves a flaw at the starting point and at the root. I think this is worthy of discussion. An important part that should be discussed.”
Anson was not aggressive. After asking the question, he made room and waited for McGee and Eric's answers.
Involuntarily and quietly, Eric and McGee fell into deep thought, their thoughts surging; instead, Anson took a step back and became quiet.
The atmosphere has quietly reversed its position.
