Chapter 1083 Rushing left and right
“Well...”
Anson gently raised his chin and lengthened the final sound, showing a thoughtful look.
“So, you noticed me not because of my work as an actor, but because of the band?”
That meaningful tone is so unpredictable that you don’t know for a moment. Is this a good thing or a bad thing.
However, Mangold ignored it and had no intention of reading Anson.
“Yes.”
Mangold admitted directly.
“We heard ‘Hooray,’ which is a really good song, by the way. We liked ‘Hooray,’ but we were like ‘Long Live Life’…”
Mangold pondered for a moment, without saying anything else. He spread his right hand flat in front of his eyes and turned it up and down with a troubled expression.
"Haha." Anson laughed directly. This Mangold is definitely a special person.
Besides, Kitcher held his forehead.
However, Mangold seemed completely unaware that his outspokenness was like a bull entering a banquet, charging unreasonably.
"Simply put, we like it."
"Including Johnny, to be precise, it was Johnny who mentioned you first. He thought you might be able to pull off a surprise, and this is a Unexpected but the right choice.”
"We have reached an agreement."
"In my vision, all the performances in the entire movie need to be completed by actors. Not only do we need to sing live, but even the equipment is all from the 1960s and 1970s. The old antique equipment is as authentic as possible and truly presents Johnny's charm."
"So singing is a vital part of the performance."
" All things considered, you are the best choice.”
“No, the perfect choice!”
Finally, after a lot of eloquence, Mangold got to the point.
This is indeed an accident.
Anson never expected that a band that was just for fun would be able to get him a performance job. This was really surprising.
Anson looked at Mangold seriously, "But?"
Because Mangold's words sounded like there was another twist.
Kitcher shook his head again and again.
Unfortunately, Kitcher's movements are still not as quick as Mangold's words.
"But, we are worried about your acting skills." Mangold said bluntly.
Kitche covered his face with his hands, feeling hopeless.
Mangold finally noticed Kitcher's actions, but he didn't mind, "Hey, James, let's be honest, Anson is not Joaquin, you've always been worried about Anson's acting skills, haven't you?"
Kitcher finally couldn't bear it anymore and wailed, "Oh, God, James, you should learn to shut up, the world will be a lot better."
Mangold didn't feel the shock at all, "I bet , you want me to shut up, and then you use a bunch of Hollywood bullshit to tell Anson some nonsense that you yourself don’t believe. Trust me, Anson is a smart man, he knows you are lying, and he can see through you. "
"In my opinion, telling the truth is a form of respect."
Kitcher raised his hands to express surrender and refused to continue to pester.
Mangold ignored it and looked at Anson again.
"We found Joaquin Phoenix. Do you know Joaquin Phoenix?"
Anson nodded in agreement——
Joaquin Phoenix, the famous River Phoenix (River -Phoenix), although he started acting in the early 1990s, he has always lived under the aura of his brother's "genius boy".
In 1993, River died due to OD in front of the bar of his best friend Johnny Depp. At that time, Johnny Depp and Joaquin Phoenix were at the scene.
The death of his brother has always been a lingering shadow for Jacques.
In 2000, with his outstanding performance of both good and evil in "Gladiator", Joaquin received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. He finally made a name for himself as an actor and became an outstanding representative of this generation of actors. Later, he He has performed wonderfully in works such as "The Master" and "Her", and won the 92nd Oscar for Best Actor with "Joker".
So, how could Anson not know about Joaquin? Mangold didn't pay attention and continued chattering.
"Joaquin frankly admitted that he has no confidence in this role, no confidence in the role interpretation, and no confidence in the live performance. He is not a professional singer."
Anson interjected, "Me neither."
Mangold was stunned, "But for us, you are professional enough."
Anson, "Thank you."
Mangold smiled and said, "Yes, that's it."
“So, we have been considering and weighing, and we also know that you are well-known, a handsome guy, a man who can become famous based on his appearance.”
“Choose Joaquin, Or there are other actors who can perform well but may be a mess musically.”
"Choose you, there is nothing wrong with your live performance and musical interpretation, but you may face serious challenges in performance."
Anson, "Ouch."
No more needed In words, Anson covered his chest with one hand and let out a wail, which was enough.
Mangold's expression was a little awkward. His waving hands stopped in mid-air, showing a slightly struggling expression, and he looked at Anson shyly.
“Too sharp?”
"I thought I was thick-skinned, but obviously I still need to practice some more practice."
"Sorry, I can't stop. How about we start from scratch?"
" And then be humiliated again?”
Although the words were full of complaints, the two people always kept smiling, and in the end they laughed in unison.
Mangold raised his right hand, "But, Anson, there is another but."
"Indeed, we have our own worries; however, after meeting you, these worries have all disappeared."
"If you don't believe it, ask him, we have now reached a consensus that you are the best choice."
>
Kitcher nodded crazily.
"So, what do you think? Is this 'but' convincing enough?"
Both James looked at Anson.
Anson pondered for a moment, "Is this your initial answer? It happened to me, right?"
Mangold nodded vigorously, "You will be able to feel it after you actually meet, maybe you and Johnny have grown up. They don't look alike, but your temperament and charm have a wonderful resonance."
Kitcher finally withdrew his attention, "Your aura when getting along with others, your way of dealing with strangers, Your smile, your behavior, everything, this is the best reason."
"Do you remember 'Men in Black'?"
"Actually, this title is the earliest. It was born of Johnny, who wore black for most of his career.”
Mangold answered naturally, "Although I've never said it before,... Joaquin's height is much smaller than Johnny's."
"In Hollywood, if you want to find someone as tall as It’s not that easy for a tall, handsome and graceful actor like Johnny.”
Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr., Joaquin Phoenix, and Tobey Maguire were all shot.
Mangold looked Anson up and down again, "I have only one idea in my mind right now, you are the perfect choice. I really hope you can participate in this work. It will become a masterpiece. I promise ."
Kitcher nodded, "Absolutely."
The two James sang and played together in doubles, showing their urgency and belief in all aspects from tone to demeanor, and the momentum was overwhelming.
Anson could clearly feel the passion, the blazing heat wave.
His eyes moved back and forth between the two people, and a smile crept up to the corner of his mouth.
"So, let me summarize and see if it is correct?"
