You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 227 Save a life, see the effect of the medicine (3, monthly ticket 400)

Heath Ledger was very pleasantly surprised, isn't this just sleepy handing the pillow!

"But I'm filming "Magic Fantasy Show" now, and the time may be..."

"But I can't wait to talk to you about the movie now."

Heath Ledger hesitated, "Well, I should be able to ask for leave, and I will rush to Mumbai as soon as possible."

"Inception" was the last play that Heath Ledger was going to take on. After that, his agent stopped taking plays for him, because his schedule was reserved for his directorial debut. He not only loves to act, but also likes to play Camera, has an ambition to be a director, hoping to be like Daben.

Since someone is willing to invest, and he is a talented director like David Wang, he is willing to go over and chat with the other party about the script.

"The Queen's Abandoned Soldier" is a very good American drama that Wang Quan saw in the film and television library. After collecting the copyright, he wanted to include the original novel of this drama.

But later Lafite told Wang Quan that the film and television adaptation copyright of the novel was acquired by screenwriter Alan Scott as early as the 90s of the last century, and he adapted it into a movie script, which was not for sale.

Michael Apter ("007: Nowhere") and Bernardo Bertolucci ("The Last Emperor") were both interested in the script, which ultimately fell through, and are currently set to take over as director of the film. Working is actor Heath Ledger.

A talented actor who was about to die of a drug overdose on January 1nd.

Wang Quan invited him to star in "Inception", and now he is calling him to Mumbai before his death, just to see if he can deflect his established trajectory of fate.

At the same time, he is also very curious, if Heath Ledger is still alive, then whether "Batman: The Dark Knight" released in the summer vacation can still achieve the brilliant results and reputation of the original time and space, and whether there will be Bat vs. Godfather, let Shawshank The story of the fisherman's success?
This is a very interesting proposition. Whether actors have to sacrifice their lives to sublimate their characters and works, Wang Quan really wants to know the chain reaction of doing so.

After hanging up the phone in the hotel room, Wang Quan watched the Golden Globe Awards press conference again.

Because the Writers Guild went on strike again, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was canceled and there was only one hour press conference to announce the results.

This year, Long Yangtou didn't have any achievements in art films. All of his productions were commercial films, so he could only be a spectator.

At this year's Golden Globes, "No Country for Old Men" should be the most watched, but the best drama winner is "Atonement", starring Keira Knightley and James McAvoy (Ichimi), who played The second girl, Saoirse Ronan, is only 12 years old, but she plays a role that makes people hate her teeth. She is an unforgettable villain.

The hit "No Country for Old Men" only won one award for Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor, Javier Bardem for Best Supporting Actor.

However, at the National Board of Review Awards, "No Country for Old Men" won the important awards of Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Ensemble Performance. The future is still bright and it is the number one seed for this year's Oscars.

Deepika did not accompany Wang Quan at the hotel tonight. After all, we are just ordinary friends, and there is no such obligation. Being able to match once every other day is already worthy of his salary.

In addition to checking the material of "Slums", Wang Quan spends more time perfecting the sub-cameras of "Inception". Now he does not draw by hand, but uses high-tech and uses a drawing board.

It will be more efficient after mastering it well. Now that I do more preparatory work, I can save some time during filming. I plan to release it in the summer of 09. The time is actually not loose, and I need to put more pressure on myself.

While drawing, Yang Mi from China called and asked cautiously, "Are you still busy today?"

The last time they called, the two didn't say a few words, but Yang Mi knew that she had interrupted Brother Quan's good business when she heard the moaning voice.

"It's really not busy this time, what's the matter?"

"Oh, it's the male number two of "Crazy Supermarket". I've chosen someone here. Please show me."

Wang Quan opened the mailbox and glanced at the information of the favorite candidate sent by Yang Mi. Yang Mi said, "I chose it from last year's "Come on, Good Man". What do you think?"

Wang Quan glanced at the introduction in the video library, "No.8, why not choose the one in front, isn't the one in front more famous."

"Actually, I think it's good to be number one, but No.1 was signed by Huayi."

"What does that matter? We have no enmity with Huayi, and I have no problem with Orange Sky when it comes to domestic companies." The project "Night Club" was originally owned by Orange Sky, but it was cut off by Wang Quan.

"Haha, the No.2 Qiao Renliang signed Orange Sky, then let me ask Huayi, my budget is low, if they talk like a lion, I won't be used to them."

The Huayi Brothers have just recovered from the shock of being promoted to the New Seven of Hollywood. Over there, Wang Dao and Mi Shi jointly produced "Crazy Supermarket" produced by Ning Hao. Go for an audition, the second male lead with a heavy role in the scene.

Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Director Wang has a big picture in his heart. He really uses whoever's actor is suitable, and he doesn't have any opinions."

Wang Zhonglei got up immediately, "I'm going to talk to Xiaojing right away."

Wang Zhongjun frowned, "Just make a phone call."

Wang Zhonglei, "He's a newcomer, he doesn't know anything, I have to ask him carefully."

"Wait a minute," Wang Zhongjun said, "If Xiaojing is selected, then you can ask them if they need a guest star. It can be regarded as supporting Xiaojing's movie debut. It is a great opportunity for a newcomer to star in such a project. We have to work harder, maybe we will be another popular superstar."

"Don't worry, as long as he strives for himself, I will try my best to push him up."

Jing Boran's tragic life experience is similar to that of Ma Tianyu, but he is also as lucky as Ma Tianyu. He met Yang Mi, a noble person, and successfully joined the crew of "Crazy Supermarket". Moreover, the company warmly invited Uncle Ge Youge to make a surprise appearance , guest starred, this face will be great.

There happened to be a music company boss, a gay character in gay, Yuan Shikong was guest starred by Gao Jun, vice president of New Film Federation, this time he could be replaced by Uncle Ge, who happened to be bald.

The project "Crazy Supermarket" was established very urgently, and the shooting cycle was short. Considering that labor costs are more expensive during the Spring Festival, it is expected to start on January 1, and the filming will be completed in eight days, and post-production will be done after the year.

Jing Boran felt unbelievable when he heard it, is it so efficient!

It wasn't until he got the script that he realized that the movie took place entirely in a supermarket, basically never walked out of the supermarket, and there were only a few characters. No wonder it could be finished in eight days. If the filming is fast, it should take four or five days. It can be over.

When Huayi got the script from Xiaojing, she said that she was fooled. This doesn't seem to be the same thing as the sequel to "Crazy Stone" they thought!

However, I have already said hello to Uncle Ge, and Wang Dao has also set aside a role, so it is too late to regret it.

Xu Zheng is very happy, with Uncle Ge as a cameo, he has more confidence in this movie.

But what made him even happier was that the "Black Hole" he starred in was nominated for an Oscar!
On the 20th, the Oscar nomination list was announced. Wang Quan has transferred from the screenwriting department to the director department this year. It is easier to judge the awards. You only need to fill in the best director and best picture.

The "No Country for Old Men" he supported and the Coen brothers were shortlisted without any suspense, and the silent short film "Black Hole" directed by himself was also shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film, and the popularity was extremely high.

Moreover, the screenwriter's strike did not affect the Oscars, and the awards ceremony will be held as scheduled, and Wang Quan was also invited to be an award presenter for the first time.

At the same time, on this day, Heath Ledger came to the unfamiliar Mumbai with the basically finalized script of "Queen's Gambit", and then he was taught a lesson.

"My bag, stop! Thief!"

It's a pity that he's not a real clown, otherwise a Batman should stand up and help him snatch the briefcase back at this time, and then they will fight again.

When Heath Ledger came to the Taj Mahal Hotel where King Quan stayed, with his messy hair sticking to his scalp, King Quan laughed, "It's okay, the script can be reprinted, and the certificate can also be reissued. As for money, it should be fine for you." Just a small amount."

Heath Ledger sighed, "But I have a headache and need medicine."

There was a flash of light in Wang Quan's eyes, "Then I'll go shopping with you."

It was already dark at this time, and Deepika was going to stay overnight, but Wang Quan took the initiative to accompany Heath Ledger and left the little beauty alone in the hotel room.

King Quan had met Heath Ledger a few times before, and it was the first time they talked during the audition, but they didn't talk much. Today was a relatively deep exchange, and the chat was mainly about "Queen's Gambit".

"The Queen's Gambit" can also be called "The Queen's Chess Game", which tells the story of the chess prodigy Beth Harmon from the orphanage to the international stage.

Wang Quan can't see any tendency to depression from him, and he can hardly see the shadow of the character of the clown. Although it hasn't been released yet, Wang Quan has seen it a long time ago.

He was even very talkative, and in front of King Quan, he told the list of main characters to be invited in "The Queen's Gambit", "I think Juno is a very suitable candidate for the heroine. She has great acting skills. What is her name?" Come on, Lily, huh?"

Wang Quan smiled, "She must be very happy to hear your praise like this, and I will convey your meaning to her then."

But when he arrived at the pharmacy and saw all kinds of painkillers, Heath Ledger seemed to be a different person, and asked excitedly, "Do I need a prescription to buy OxyContin here?"

Pharmacy owner, "Whatever prescription you want, we only need money!"

Heath Ledger's eyes lit up, as if he had entered heaven, "OxyContin, give me some, and this, this..."

No wonder you can take painkillers until you die, take five or six kinds together, do you know what chemical reaction they have with each other?

Wang Quan shook his head, if he couldn't get rid of his dependence on painkillers and continued to eat like this, even if he didn't die on the 22nd, he would die sooner or later.

Wang Quan grabbed Heath Ledger's arm and said to the boss, "Don't take the medicine yet, wait a moment."

Heath Ledger is as tall as King Quan, a big man at 1.8 meters [-], when you look at the clown, you really can't tell that he is also a big man when he is straight.

However, a strong man like him wanted to break free from the grip of the king's power, but he couldn't do it at all. This made him very surprised. Is there something wrong with his body?
"Heath, let's come out and talk." Wang Quan said seriously.

"Okay, okay."

After coming out, Wang Quan took out a cigarette that he only smoked afterwards from his pocket, "One?"

Heath Ledger waved his hand and refused, "Smoking is harmful to your health, so go ahead."

Kingship, "..."

Director Wang was a little dumbfounded, "What about painkillers, aren't they harmful to health?"

"Painkillers may have some side effects, but without painkillers, I have trouble sleeping. People who don't sleep will die."

"Is it just some side effects?" Wang Quan shook his head, "Don't you know how many people died of OxyContin?"

"Didn't it mean that those people were suffering from other diseases? This can't prove that OxyContin is responsible. If it is really OxyContin's responsibility, the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) can't let it continue to be produced and sold, right? "It seems that he also did some homework before taking it, but it is obviously all homework that is beneficial to OxyContin. It seems that the money that Purdue Pharmaceuticals spent on public relations and advertising was not wasted.

Yes, the FDA, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, even the Chinese people believe in the authoritative institutions that are regarded as standards. Can they deceive people all over the world?

If Wang Quan hadn't watched a TV series called "Dose of Addiction", he would have really believed in his evil.

Wang Quan said to Li Xian, the assistant next to him, "Xiao Li, look back and sort out the drug-related death lawsuits that Purdue Pharmaceuticals has received in recent years, and show it to Mr. Heath Ledger. I don't want my film to be shot. Halfway through, the lead actor died."

"But I really need to..."

"Also, if you take painkillers in combination, our cooperation may not be able to continue." Wang Quan looked at his list of painkillers, "Just this, this is the cheapest, Xiao Li, go buy it for him For headaches."

Heath Ledger was a little angry. He came here happily, thinking that he could get the investment smoothly, but the bag was stolen, and he was taught a lesson by this young director who was much younger than himself.

Tonight Heath Ledger survived with only one painkiller, and the next day he started to print the script, and he was going to return to the United States after the cooperation was negotiated. At that time, no one would care how much medicine he took.

But before the script was printed, he first received the information from Li Xian.

Seeing the above news in 2001, Florida announced that the number of deaths due to overdose of OxyContin and other over-the-counter painkillers has exceeded two unspeakable bad things. In addition, there are some news reports from the Purdue Pharmaceutical PR FDA, it seems There is really something tricky in it, and Heath Ledger's heart is slightly touched.

But he thought again, the number of people who take painkillers is millions every year, and tens of thousands of people die, the probability is not high, so he might not be so unlucky.

But he had crossed the name of OxyContin off his drug list, which is indeed much stronger than ordinary painkillers.

Then he was about to hand over the script to Wang Quan, but Wang Quan said, "Get in the car with me, we are going to New Delhi to film, we will talk when we get there~"

At this time, Heath Ledger has already lived an hour longer than his original time and space, and he will earn money later...

(Started to repay the debt of the monthly ticket, 200 changes, this is almost 40 changes, everyone is too strong!)
