Coquettish Rebirth

"The role of the undercover gangster to the police?" Reeves was slightly taken aback, but he didn't have any objections and began to think about the state of mind of the role of "Liu Dehua" according to Jia Hongjian's request. "Perhaps he was rebellious at the beginning, because he wanted to separate from the image of his parents. He felt that the image of justice that he felt when he was a child had collapsed, but he felt that the evil power that he thought of as a child was more real. Then after entering the police station, relying on the help of gangsters Getting promoted little by little... He should be able to handle things very flexibly, and gradually he began to feel that this kind of life is good, especially as he grows older, he begins to become a strong person in the eyes of his peers, and he starts to walk step by step. Gao, he may want to continue climbing, but deep down he knows that he has a secret that he can't tell anyone. Maybe he happens to be similar to the previous character but in turn, he can communicate with people, but But he can't communicate. He wears a mask in front of everyone, and the only truth is only known to him. He usually has to pretend to be an ordinary person, a normal person, but deep down in his heart there is a kind of inferiority complex, cautious, and relatively dark. Soul... he is selfish, and he will do anything for his own safety... probably that's it."

Judging from Reeves' answer, compared to the previous role of "Liang Chaowei", the current role of "Liu Dehua" may really be beyond the understanding of Reeves.Maybe Reeves' tragic life experience changed his state of mind too much, and he couldn't be like other good actors, can become an origin, a germination-according to a certain theory.Actors should be unscrupulous, and should be like a perfect bud, with a little bit of any character and any characteristic, and then it can develop to any character!In this case, if an actor wants to play a good person, he should try his best to promote the development of his good side. If he wants to play a different person, he must try his best to stimulate his evil side, so that he can perform a role with a soul !But if the state of mind of an actor changes, he becomes different from ordinary people.It becomes as if Germination cannot develop in one direction.Then he just can't imitate that mentality, what can he do?What else can he do if he can't get into that role?

Now Reeves is in a miserable mess, and his mood is exhausted and has fallen to the bottom. Let him play "Liang Chaowei" whose conscience is tortured.Maybe he felt the same way.Easy to bring in.But let him play "Liu Dehua".He is not in that mood!How could he heartlessly forget everything that happened around him, and turn himself into an ordinary person again to play the role of a policeman, chasing girls for promotion and so on?After being hit, he almost lost his self-motivation.He didn't even think about becoming an absolute first-line actor in Hollywood—in other words, even if he succeeds, so what, can he bring back his dead relatives?After losing his loved ones several times in a row, is money, fame and fortune really important to him?A person who is about to see through life and death, let him imitate the state of mind of ordinary people, and then play the role of a person who is addicted to worldly battles for fame and fortune?How did he play it?This is like letting a gay guy play a straight man!I obviously don't feel it when I see a woman, but I still want to go up and show that I am very interested in women, and I still want to chase girls...

Therefore, Jia Hongjian has now judged that Weiss is still suitable to play the role of "Liang Chaowei".As for Johnny Depp, who was supposed to play this role, it seems that he can only play the role of "Liu Dehua"?If he is interested after reading the core plot of the script.Although when they gave the script outline, Jia Hongjian and the others didn't tell Depp what role they gave him, they just let him see if he was interested in the story.If people are really interested, and they immediately fall in love with the role of "Liang Chaowei", wouldn't it be a crash?Isn't this a bit of a hassle?But now Jia Hongjian has no time to take care of this troublesome matter!He is now going to persuade Reeves to act in such a play!

Reeves has just finished filming "The Matrix 2" in a few days. Although the filming is finished, because there are many special effects scenes used, it will take more than a year to do the special effects, and there is still a lot to catch up with. The schedule may not be released until the end of 02 or even 03.It stands to reason that Reeves has no job right now, but with his disillusioned state of mind, is he willing to come and act right away?

Jia Hongjian thought for a while, and finally decided to ask, "Hey, Keanu, I have something to ask you, but I'm a little too embarrassed to say it... I heard you analyze the role just now, I think you are really too I can devote myself to this role, so I want to invite you to join this crew to play such a role from undercover to gangster. Of course, I know that your current situation may not be suitable for acting, but I can give you such a condition--remuneration I still give you 10% of the global box office profit of our final film. As the chairman of DreamWorks, I decided to take it out and set up an award. Similar to the Nobel Prize in Medicine, in the name of your sister, it will be used to donate every year Doctors and scholars who have made outstanding contributions in the field of leukemia research and treatment, what do you think?"

Jia Hongjian's condition is quite big!You must know that if you invest about 2 million US dollars, and then calculate according to the North American box office of 4000 million, then you can get about 400 million box office profits in North America alone, and one-tenth of it is 5000 million US dollars.And Jia Hongjian didn’t say that it’s only in North America. When it’s released all over the world, even if we have a box office of 1000 million to 1000 million, then in the end we will get one-third of it, which is 2000 million?Add up to almost [-] million US dollars?Then one-tenth is [-] million?This is equivalent to giving Keanu Reeves an extra [-] million, which means that he has entered the [-] million club all of a sudden!But Jia Hongjian knew that this person probably didn't like money anymore, so he used this kind of caring method as a reward.

"Really?" Keanu Reeves's rare eyes lit up a little, with a glimmer of hope, "Let me think about it? It's not because of your asking price, it's because I want to go back and think about this role, see See if I can control it. Otherwise, if the performance is not good and the box office is poor, wouldn’t the money be reduced?” Keanu Reeves said with a melancholy smile.Seriously, Reeves's melancholy smile is so sad to watch, especially after knowing what happened to him.It is estimated that even if Reeves is tired after filming "The Matrix 2", he will want to work hard in this way, so that his sister who grew up with him can leave more things in this world after death.

"Don't be in a hurry. Our film is tentatively scheduled to start shooting in the middle of the year. There is still a lot of time. You can take your time." Jia Hongjian patted Reeves on the shoulder.Although this film is a police and gangster film, it doesn't require much training for actions such as holding a gun.After all, how many Hollywood stars don't use prop guns when filming?How many prop guns did Reeves use on The Matrix himself?From this point on, no training is required at all.And on the other hand, his role is to go undercover to the "gangsters". Does he have to use serious and regular actions when holding a gun?Like a policeman holding a gun?Gangsters hold a gun with one hand, and they want to be handsome!So is it still the underworld to follow the rules?

Moreover, such a play is purely a drama, without any fighting scenes, so basically no pre-training is required.The few months before the filming can be used to communicate with the main creators, and can be used to think about the characters by themselves, so in fact, Reeves goes on vacation for a month, and then comes back to think about it.This can be regarded as a small compensation after Jia Hongjian used some small tricks to make Reeves willing to join.

"Well, I understand." Keanu Reeves twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, made a very faint smile, and then stretched out his hand to Jia Hongjian, "Thank you, Mr. Jia." "No, yes I thank you." Jia Hongjian held his hand and said so.

In this way, even if Keanu Reeves is drawn into the camp.But who knew that Jia Hongjian had just watched Keanu Reeves leave in the car, when the phone rang, and when he picked it up, it was a call from Depp's manager. "Hey, Mr. Jia, how's it going? I brought good news, haha, we Depp are very interested in your script outline and find it very interesting, and we immediately fell in love with the character who went undercover to the gangster in it. Luckily for you, Depp is going to break the scheduled plan this year and take your plays. When will we discuss the contract next? Then we Depp will also join in the creation of the script, and he hopes that the characters will be designed according to his ideas as much as possible..."

Hey!your sister!I'm really afraid of something!When he was courting Keanu Reeves before, Jia Hongjian was worried that Depp would also like this role, but who knew that it really became two people fighting for a role!After thinking about it, Jia Hongjian felt that brainwashing through the agent didn't seem to be effective?After all, what he can convince now is the agent, but it is useless for the agent to be persuaded. Can the agent persuade Depp?So after making a quick judgment, Jia Hongjian smiled and agreed, "Okay! Let's make an appointment. By the way, can you give me Depp's phone number? I'll let Nolan write the script later." When you can communicate and discuss with Depp directly, so that the character you write will be more in line with Depp?"

"Well, okay, I'll send it to you later." The manager replied indifferently.Anyway, this is Hollywood, and the agent is not afraid of Jia Hongjian and the others bypassing him to discuss the contract with Depp in private.After all, the agent is helping Depp fight for the best interests. Will Depp greatly lower his value for such a script?You must know that DreamWorks is not short of money, such a book investment will not be too small, so the salary should be enough!
