Chapter 368 [Joker, I must be none other than me](1/2)
joker.
The famous "Joker".
This is a villain under Marvel, but because of the story of the clown, it has attracted a large number of fans. There are too many complexities and contradictions in this character, so many fans have gone to pursue clues about the clown's character from many places.
Among the Dark Knights, the Joker, as a supporting role, seems to have a fan popularity that exceeds the starring Batman, especially Lejess's performance, which portrays this character deeply into the bones.
Because of playing the special role of clown, Lejessis has been addicted to this role after filming the filming and has difficulty extricating himself, and finally ends his life.
Just because of interpreting such a role, the actor is in pain. So what is the real clown in his heart?
In this world, when it comes to clowns, most people are doing funny shows in front of the playground to attract children.
It is interesting to use the most unique image to subvert the public's already accepted perception.
Isn't it?
Moreover, because of the clown's face, even if Xu Chaohan, an oriental, is played by him, there will be no sense of incongruity.
Didn’t Arthur Himm attract a large number of teenage fans with his rebelliousness and arrogance?
hehe.
Speaking of madness and arrogance - how about the clown?
This is Xu Chaohan's evil taste.
That's why he kept his door closed for more than half a month and racked his brains to write "The Joker".
Jiang Fan listened to Xu Chaohan's description, and suddenly aroused an impulse in his heart. After a long time, he didn't speak, and the dishes on the table did not move. He nodded to Xu Chaohan, and then said: "If you don't mind, I'll read the script first--"
Xu Chaohan stretched out his hand to signal you to be at will, and Jiang Fan turned up the script on the table without hesitation.
There are quite a few printed out on a computer with more than 100,000 words. If it is a 32k notebook, there are more than 200 pages. However, without any sense, Jiang Fan quietly flipped through the script written by Xu Chaohan.
Jiang Fan has filmed dozens of movies so far, and he is also a young and senior director. He has watched the film and television scripts even more. When he saw Xu Chaohan's script, his first intuitive feeling was.
layman.
Although Xu Chaohan tried to write a complete script, it was more or less mixed with some word processing and the author's inner description, so the entire script seemed a bit out of place.
However, it was Xu Chaohan's addition that made Jiang Fan understand Xu Chaohan's intention more.
The entire script seems a bit messy with the lens language, story structure and story rhythm, but there is no problem with the logic. An excellent director can transform into a substantial picture in his mind with the description of words. As Jiang Fan reads more and more in-depth, his brows gradually locked up.
Xu Chaohan was having a leisurely drink the flower tea provided by the restaurant.
He actually didn't care whether Jiang Fan would accept the script. If Jiang Fan did not agree, Xu Chaohan would have enough time and confidence to make the script.
It's just a matter of time.
but.
What Xu Chaohan imagined did not happen either.
It was not until more than an hour that Jiang Fan closed the script.
He looked at Xu Chaohan with a burning look. The handsome face that seemed to have nothing to do with the director industry was full of surprise.
"This script-"
After a pause, Jiang Fan looked at Xu Chaohan, not knowing how to organize the language.
"Are you benchmarking Hollywood standards?"
Whether in another world or in this world.
Whether it is a director or an actor.
The three words Hollywood seem to have infinite magic.
It is like Harvard in the eyes of students and the Olympics in the eyes of athletes.
Although many people in this world criticize Hollywood as just an industrial film production line, it is undeniable that there are too many classics in this world movie factory.
Whether it is investment, technology, equipment, distribution channels, audience and influence, Hollywood is the palace in the minds of film and television workers.
More than ten years ago, China once called for the creation of Hollywood in the East, but more than ten years have passed. What is the screen now?
Young and handsome guys are the best, and low-end and childish funny can get a share in the mainland film market. Even a few years ago, a Chinese war film with extremely excellent box office performance has been criticized by many netizens for being unreal and unscientific.
It is really because movie fans have been heartbroken by the mainland film market. Not to mention anything else, just say how many upcoming movies are there with young and handsome guys at the end of this year?
And this situation is absolutely impossible to see in Hollywood.
In Hollywood, an industrial film company will never put all bets on the actors.
It's a script.
This is the gap between the film and television industries in the two countries.
so.
Even after the script Xu Chaohan was taken out, Jiang Fan's heart was touched like an earthquake.
“You are not suitable for a joker.”
Jiang Fan said firmly.
joke.
This script is excellent, very good.
Although it can be seen from the content that if the script was to be filmed, it would probably be a major production in China in recent years, but this is not the reason why Jiang Fan said this.
It's really because the role of Joker is too complicated.
There are too many contradictions in this character, and Jiang Fan even made it clear in minutes that if anyone can interpret this character, he doesn't even need perfection. The title of a movie hero will definitely not be able to escape-
"I know."
Xu Chaohan nodded.
He just read some books on performance, but without systematic teaching, and trying to challenge the role of clown is simply a joke.
Jiang Fan frowned tightly, his expression was very complicated, with joy and excitement, but also pain and regret.
The book Xu Chaohan took out is the kind of book that is the kind of film and television worker, even a newbie, can see the excellence of this book.
But--
Xu Chaohan's request turned out to be the role of Joker!
This made Jiang Fan very upset.
On the one hand, this is an extremely excellent script. He had already confirmed it as soon as he finished reading this book. This story is a Hollywood-level script. Whether it is the architecture and integrity of this book and the big scenes in this script, all of them are benchmark Hollywood movies.
In fact, there are definitely not without excellent screenwriters in China, but due to various constraints, the creation of screenwriters is often bound to a very narrow framework.
It’s not that no one has a lot of ideas, but because of fame, status and lack of sufficient integrity, few screenwriters’ creations will benchmark against large-scale productions like Hollywood blockbusters.
Xu Chaohan is completely an alien.
"I think this role needs a very capable actor to interpret it-"
Jiang Fan calmly tempted Xu Chaohan.
A good script is really rare.
Especially Jiang Fan understands very well that in the film industry today, the role of traffic stars is becoming more and more obvious, so many low-cost small productions have become the mainstream trend of mainland films. This is not because there is no company or director who does not want to invest in large productions, but because the script is rare.
especially.
In this script, Jiang Fan vaguely saw a vein that made him excited.
That is, this script obviously has many branches, and the character Joker is only part of a huge worldview.
This is very scary.
Is this a series?
This thought just by thinking about it made Jiang Fan feel terrified.
Therefore, after reading this script, Jiang Fan is facing very difficult problems now.
On the one hand, he hoped to take on this script, which was really in line with his appetite. To be honest, no director could be indifferent to this script. It was too novel and too interesting.
On the other hand, he also had a deep resistance to Xu Chaohan's desire to play the role of Joker.
After all, in Jiang Fan's intuitive impression, Xu Chaohan is very talented, but this is limited to the music scene.
In film and television performances, I have never heard of Xu Chaohan having such experience.
so.
Even now, Xu Chaohan's demand is just to star in the mv with this script as the background, which still makes Jiang Fan feel very uncomfortable.
He doesn't want this excellent script to be branded as someone's mark too early.
For example, some literary masters have been adapted several times, and their works have become more and more excellent, with greater investment, and more famous actors. But why do many viewers feel that the adaptation of the original work is ruined?
It's because of preconceived impressions.
So, Jiang Fan’s plan now is to dispel Xu Chaohan’s intention to play the role of Joker.
