Chapter 1 Matthew McConaughey

"Although comedy is easier to win the favor of the box office, you cannot deny that most of the dramas that have been passed down to this day and are still recognized as classics are tragedy."

In a country club in Dallas, in southern Texas, Matthew McConaughey put down his knife and fork, "like Shakespeare's four major tragedies."

“Trama is indeed more resonant.”

Chen Lin then put down the knife and fork in his hand and continued to ask: "Why is tragedy more likely to become a classic?"

"Trama has a long tradition and a deep and systematic inheritance." Matthew McConaughey continued with great interest, "Trama is the focus of research on aesthetics. Tragedy has always been deeper than comedy. Aristotle believes that tragedy is the art in art, and Schopenhauer also believes that tragedy is the peak of art. Tragedy has always been a difficult point in aesthetic research. Tragedy has been produced since Greek mythology and has been brought to the color of philosophy. King Oedipus killed his father and married his mother because he wanted to get rid of the tragedy of fate that he could not get rid of in the end."

"For Hollywood, if Titanic had no tragedy of Jack and Ruth, it would not have been possible to create such a brilliant classic."

"I admit this."

Chen Lin nodded and said, "The ending with flaws is more impressive than the reunion. What you can't get and what you lose is a kind of regret, but it is unforgettable."

"Well, that's it."

"Incompleteness is a special beauty that can make people think and reminisce."

Matthew suddenly smiled apologetically and asked Chen Lin, "I have always been talking. You, the big screenwriter, haven't spoken yet. What do you think of tragedy and comedy?"

Chen Lin frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Trama is to destroy the valuable things in life for people to see, and comedy is to destroy the valuable things in life for people to see."

“A very targeted view…”

"This sentence comes from a great writer in our country, named Lu Xun." Chen Lin said his name, and saw Matthew McConaughey look confused and smiled: "Of course, he is not very famous in the United States."

"If I have time, I will look for his writings."

Hearing Matthew McConaughey say this, Chen Lin asked, "Do you read it often?"

Matthew nodded, "This is one of my few hobbies."

"Reading can make people smarter, but unfortunately, I have been busy with work in the past two years and have rarely spent time reading."

"In fact, there have been no particularly outstanding literary works in recent years. Nowadays, commercial literature is booming, and the living space of real literary works is constantly shrinking."

"Yes, in this society, it's too difficult to find a literary master!"

As the two of them spoke, got up to check out, and drove to the south.

"In fact, there are almost three months left before the start of "Dallas", so you don't have to lose weight so anxiously."

Shen Lin has been in the United States for almost a week.

After the Spring Festival, he has been doing nothing, and Mr. Han is still revising the script of "Riding the Wind and Waves".

Chen Lin received a notice from the touchstone that Matthew McConaughey agreed to star in "Dallas Buyer Club".

Chen Lin hurried to the United States. After meeting Matthew, the two talked about a lot of requirements regarding the role.

Then, Matthew offered to say goodbye that he wanted to go to Dallas to see the real cowboy.

Chen Lin thought about it and decided to go with him - he was idle and idle.

Matthew probably didn't expect such a leisurely director, but he was embarrassed to object.

From the beginning, the two of them became more and more concerned about each other.

Chen Lin also saw how real Hollywood actors deal with roles!

For a whole week, although Matthew ate every meal, he had very little intake and only had some vegetable salads at each meal!

His figure is also becoming thinner at a visible level.

"I'm not losing weight, I'm just adapting in advance. My coach told me that to meet the script's requirements, I need to lose at least 48 kilograms, and my weight is 78 kilograms now, so I'll need about 4 months."

Matthew said indifferently.

Chen Lin was a little stunned.

No wonder so many people are optimistic about the project "Dallas", but few are willing to take over.

Woody Harrison, Brad Pitt, and Ryan Gosling all thought of starring in this movie, but it ended up leaving it alone.

Not all Hollywood actors have the courage to torture their bodies!

...

The profession of actor, from the beginning of your opening on the big screen, your body is not just yourself - unless you announce your retirement from the film industry!

You need to bring the audience the state the character should be!

Either strong, obese, or thin!

In this regard, Hollywood actors are much more dedicated than our mainland actors!

People outside the circle see the Hollywood stars and their drunkenness. How many people know the efforts they have made behind their backs?

Tom Hanks, in order to film "The Rest of the Desert Island", known as the "modern version of Robinson Crusoe", in the beginning of the film, Hanks deliberately gained more than 40 pounds to show the bloated company staff. During the filming, he frantically reduced more than 60 pounds - and this is not the first time Hanks tortured himself like this. As early as when filming "Miracle of Green", Tom Hanks gained 40 pounds to play the role of the big jailer in the play.

The spokesperson for Dior perfume advertisement, South African beauty Charlize Theron.

This goddess with a graceful figure and beautiful appearance has been regarded as a "vase". Until 2014, she finally changed the world's impression of her with the heroine Erin Wornos in "The Devil".

In order to get close to the role of the female killer in the highway, Charlize Theron gained weight by nearly 40 kilograms. She shaved her eyebrows and put on dentures.

Christian Bale, a powerful star who has performed in Zhang Yimou's movie "The Flowers of War" often makes trouble on himself, sometimes losing weight and sometimes getting fatter.

In 2oo3, Bell took on "The Mechanic". In order to meet the character's requirements, "it looks like he hasn't been asleep for a year", he relied on hunger and a lot of physical energy to consume exercise and lost 57 kilograms in 2 weeks. Finally, he appeared in the film, almost the same as the skeleton.

Then Bale took on the film "Batman: Mystery of the Shadow". For this strong hero, he once again increased his weight by more than 60 kilograms through hard special training. What's more serious is that he then took on the role of a captive American military in "Seeing the Light Again". In order to achieve the state of a skinny character, he lost another 50 kilograms this time, and even ate maggots raw during the filming process.

Although Bell has a drama tycoon and has a bad temper, his professionalism is unquestionable and has become a recognized benchmark in the industry and the spokesperson for the professionalism of actors.

In contrast, some of our actors are much inferior, especially Liu Huohua. There is a scene in "No War in Peking" where the soldier who played this guy took off his top and actually had only one abdominal muscle!

Blind!

Of course, we also have actors who are very admirable, such as Wang Qianyuan, and Zhang Zhen...

...

"Jered Leto should be pretty good, I heard he is a play lunatic!"

Chen Lin changed the topic and talked about Matthew's partner in the play.

Matthew plays Ron Woodruff, while Jared Leto plays a gay, transvestite Ryan!

The role of Ryan is very important. Through the intersection of Ryan, the AIDS group and the homosexual group, the dual pressure faced by social minorities from the family and the conventional social system is demonstrated.

Only through the changes in Ron's attitude towards Ryan can the change in character from an ordinary person to a hero!

In this way, the film can be fuller.

Of course, there are not many actors who can play this role well, and Jared Leto is definitely the best choice!

This guy can sacrifice to the extreme for the role he likes!

Jared Leto of the original time and space even lost 28 kilograms to play the role of Ryan!

This movie can be said to be completed by two actors who act with their lives!

"But he hasn't acted in a show for 5 years!"

Matthew was a little worried.

"Don't worry, this guy is also a natural actor. As long as he agrees, he will leave the rest to him."

The main reason Jared Leto has too many side jobs. In addition to the actors, he is also the lead singer of the band "3o seconds to go to Mars". The band is very popular in North America, making people forget that he is also an excellent actor.
Chapter completed!
