Chapter 1096 Just right
Biography?
Anson was stunned for a moment, and then realized -
"Cat and Mouse Game"!
"Little Frank Ababell is different. The prototype of the character has been hiding himself and refusing to show his face. He allowed me to fabricate the character based on my own imagination, and there is no fixed image in the minds of the general public."< br>
"Moreover, Steven consciously added absurdity and humor when filming, giving the story and characters a candy-colored sense of unreality, which left room for self-imagination in the performance."
“However, Johnny Cash is another matter, a standard traditional biographical movie.”
Lucas seemed to understand, slightly raised his chin, and watched intently. Xiang Anson, "You mean, this is a challenge?"
Anson pursed his lips, "Well, a difficult challenge."
Lucas, "Then you should take it. .”
Anson, "Huh? Didn't you hear what I just said?"
Lucas, "Yes. But it's precisely because of this that you should star."
" You said it yourself, the most interesting thing about the job of an actor is that it faces different challenges, and every day life is full of unpredictable unknowns.”
“If you are tired of taking risks and are ready to follow the rules and find a job. , there are countless choices, there is no need to mess around here.”
“As for the script”
"If it can be modified better, that's a good thing, and it can't be better; but if it doesn't work, it's okay. Didn't someone say that which actor has not starred in one or two bad movies?"
" What's more, no matter how bad the script is, can it be worse than 'Princess Diaries'?"
Pfft.
Anson couldn't control it, laughed directly, and protested loudly.
“Hey, please don’t say that about ‘Princess Diaries’, that’s my famous work!”
Lucas was expressionless, "Are you sure it's not a dark history?"
Anson laughed directly, "A proud dark history, bravely facing the bleak life."
Pause, Ansen thought carefully for a moment and could not help but chin his head slightly.
"You are right, I need to review it."
"Nowadays, I am becoming more and more cautious when choosing works, and I have more and more worries about looking forward and backward. The more things I have, the more I started to become greedy and stingy, and I couldn’t simply enjoy the joy brought by a random character or a script.”
It’s extremely cold at high places.
It is precisely because I stand at a high place that I begin to worry about making mistakes, falling, and slipping. When facing the work, I no longer have that coolness.
Especially after cooperating on the two works "Butterfly Effect" and "Spider-Man 2", Anson had the right to modify the script and adjust the characters, and he couldn't help but want to put forward opinions and continue to improve the script——
Of course, this is normal and correct. They all hope that the work will improve. Positive and well-intentioned discussions will eventually form a virtuous circle and give positive feedback to the work, which deserves recognition.
But that’s not always the case.
After all, actors are actors, not screenwriters. Every time they want to modify the script, every time they want to interfere with other people's work, this is putting the cart before the horse.
At the same time, not every discussion can get positive feedback results; many times, discussions in the workplace end on bad terms.
The key is to be measured and sober.
However, this is precisely the most difficult part.
Lucas looked at Anson, "Do you like this role? If you like it, then take the next step; if you don't like it, just reject it."
Things don't seem complicated.
A smile appeared in Anson's eyes, "This is Johnny Cash, not just a character."
Lucas, "But in the movie, he is a character . Even if he personally participates in the screenwriting work, the character on the screen is not 100% Johnny Cash, but a character that has been artistically processed."
"If anyone believes that the character on the screen is real life. Johnny Cash in "It can only be said that they know nothing about Hollywood."
Anson laughed directly, "From this point of view, things are indeed not complicated. Many times it is us. It makes things more complicated." He pondered for a moment, put aside all considerations, and listened carefully to his own voice——
The answer comes to light.
“I like this challenge.” Anson said.
Lucas's expression did not change at all, "Then you should seize the opportunity."
Anson nodded slightly in agreement——
Difficulties and challenges are actually always there. It doesn't matter whether Anson has lived two lives or not, it's still the same. He should face the challenge calmly.
For example, in "Spider-Man 2", after revising the script, does this mean that the quality of the finished film will be better? Does it mean that the box office performance can bring outstanding results?
No, not sure, Anson has no way to give an answer, everything is brand new.
The same is true for "Walking with the Song". If Anson really agrees to star in the role, he is not sure whether he can perform as sharply and brilliantly as Joaquin Phoenix, nor whether the movie can be as successful in the awards season as in his previous life. Got a bunch of nominations.
In front of you, everything is unknown.
But Anson wanted to embrace the challenge.
So, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his mood became bright again.
"The captain will be disappointed."
Lucas looked over, "Why, he doesn't like this project?"
Anson shook his head, "Not really , I just have some doubts; however, if I star in this project, I may not be in the mood to audition for 007.”
Lucas did not hide his surprise, "007?"
Anson, "Yes. Pierce-Brosnan is fifty years old this year. Although he still looks suave, his skills are no longer the same. He may not be qualified for this role."
"And the 007 series has always had a tradition of introducing new things. Pierce has starred in four 007 films, and now it is time to change to a new face."
"So, they are going to choose a new James Bond."
Lucas imagined the picture in his mind, "This should be a good fit for you."
Suits, sports cars, Bond girls.
There is no doubt that Anson’s temperament and image can perfectly fit James Bond, and the cooperation between the two should be able to create sparks.
Anson, "The captain thinks so too."
Lucas noticed something strange in Anson's words, "Don't you agree?"
Anson did not answer immediately , but pondered for a moment and sorted out his words.
"In theory, this should be a very interesting filming experience. Everyone should have fantasized about being James Bond at least once."
"I am no exception."
"But I don't think they're going to choose me."
"First of all, I'm Peter Parker. Do you know how much work Sony Columbia has to do to get the audience to equate me with Peter Parker? If I Suddenly, as James Bond, the audience should be confused."
"MGM should start fighting with Sony Columbia."
"Even if MGM is willing to choose me to play 007, they should at least wait until the end of the Spider-Man series, otherwise it may cause unnecessary image conflict. The screen images of these two characters are completely unrelated."
In Hollywood , it is a basic rule for actors to play different roles and different images; but starring in a series of movies is another matter.
The focus of the series of movies lies in the image binding of characters and actors, because this also involves issues such as brand positioning, image value, and marketing. Whether it is MGM or Sony Columbia, they should have it. own considerations.
So, this is the biggest obstacle for Anson to star in 007, at least at this stage.
