Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 303 Link is so abominable, he even stole my girlfriend
The purpose of the crew holding a seminar is to understand the actors' degree of research on their respective roles through face-to-face communication, and to raise any difficulties and suggestions on the spot.

He and the two screenwriters answered questions on the spot, and if anyone offered constructive suggestions, they could also modify the script according to the actors' requirements.

Generally, new actors will not take the initiative to express their opinions in such occasions.

Veteran and big-name actors will offer many suggestions, such as modifying the lines to make them more in line with his speaking habits, or requesting to add or delete lines to enhance the emotions or improve the character's personality, etc.

Although the characters in the script story are created by the screenwriter, the characters in the movie are created by the actors. They need to adjust the lines or plot to better integrate into the role, and then better present the character through performance.

Whether you are a methodist or an experientialist, the ultimate goal is to play the role well.

During this process, it is easy for actors to have disputes over changes to the script, especially big-name actors and veteran actors, who often argue over a few lines, and some even quit.

These things are normal in the crew.

When encountering such things, a director’s leadership and control capabilities in the crew are particularly tested.

A good director must be an excellent leader, have high team coordination and decision-making abilities, and be good at resolving conflicts among crew members.

At the same time, he knows how to paint a big picture and motivate the crew members.

Only a director who possesses both artistic talent and leadership ability can lead the creative crew to create good film works.

It is precisely because of these points that the threshold for becoming a director has become very high.

Link has acted in many movies and is very experienced in this area. In addition, he is the owner of a film company and has made many movies that have achieved both good reputation and box office success.

This strength and reputation also give him a high prestige in the crew, and the crew members are willing to follow his command.

However, when holding script discussions, Link likes to promote democracy and let everyone speak their mind without worrying about saying the wrong thing, because everyone has the same goal, which is to make a movie that is both a box office success and a critical and public success.

The main actors in the "Batman" crew are not shy newcomers who dare not speak.

After the script reading session began, Gary Oldman was the first to speak out, expressing his dissatisfaction with the setting of the two-faced man in the script.

"Two-Face" is a classic villain in the "Batman" comics. He was created in 1941. Because his character was too dark, fans did not like him. It was not until the rise of horror movies in the s that audiences accepted this character again, and Two-Face also appeared on television and the big screen.

'Two-Face' Harvey Dent was abused by his father when he was a teenager. His father often used the coin tossing method to decide whether he should be beaten, and his father used a coin with both sides being 'heads'.

Harvey Dent hated his father and was determined not to become a man like his father. When he grew up, he became a district attorney. Because of his good character and outstanding professional ability, he was assigned to serve as a prosecutor in Gotham City.

With the joint efforts of him, Gotham City Police Commissioner Gordon and Batman, the public security situation in Gotham City has been significantly improved, and many villains and gang leaders have been punished.

Just one day before his wedding, when he was suing gangster boss Maroni in court, Maroni threw hydrochloric acid on his face, causing disfigurement and causing his wife to leave him.

Harvey Dent was stimulated, and the demon suppressed deep in his heart grew rapidly, causing him to suffer from schizophrenia and eventually become the evil "Two-Face".

He blames Batman for not protecting him in court and begins to take revenge on Batman and everyone else.

Compared to the "Two-Face" in the comics, the Two-Face in the movie version is more evil in behavior, and his language and actions are more radical. This is done to increase the drama of the movie.

Gary Oldman said that he doesn't like this kind of pretentious and scary setting, and prefers to use a restrained acting style to create a thriller effect.

He hopes to modify the script and turn the Two-Face Man into a ruthless yet restrained and cold-blooded pervert. The modified Two-Face Man will form a perfect contrast with the Riddler who likes to bluff.

Link rejected the offer.

Batman has a cool and humorous personality, and Two-Face is a supporting role used to support Batman. He must be a funny person with a histrionic personality. Otherwise, if the two cool male gods play against each other, it will become Ximen Chuixue versus Fu Hongxue, which will lack a lot of highlights.

He told Gary Oldman that Two-Face suffered from schizophrenia after being disfigured. He was obsessed with the "fatalism" and "duality" of things, and his temperament was sometimes cold, sometimes crazy, sometimes irritable, and sometimes depressed.

When performing, he not only has to show the intimidating side of a two-faced man, but also the restrained and cold side.

How to act and how to present this morbid effect is a test of his acting skills.

When Gary Oldman heard his explanation, he immediately perked up and became interested.

As a veteran actor, he is not afraid of a role being too complicated, but only afraid of it being too simple.

After Gary Oldman finished speaking, Jim Carrey and Nicole Kidman spoke at the same time. Following the principle of ladies first, Nicole Kidman stated her request first.

Her role is Dr. Chase, an original character. This character has two functions in the movie. One is to be a vase to increase Batman's emotional drama, and the other is to highlight that Batman truly loves Catwoman.

Nicole Kidman's suggestion is that Dr. Chase is a psychiatrist with high professional qualities. He fell in love with Batman because he was curious about Batman's dual personality. So when he met two psychopaths, Two-Face and The Riddler, Dr. Chase could not remain indifferent.

When Batman is fighting against the two, she can analyze their psychological conditions and help Batman defeat them, instead of just being a vase.

After listening to this, Link felt that it made sense and discussed it with the two screenwriters. When revising the script later, they decided to consider adding this plot.

After Nicole Kidman finished speaking, Jim Carrey started talking again.

The first script reading session lasted more than three hours.

Half of the actors expressed their personal opinions and views, to which Link and the two screenwriters responded on the spot.

Due to time constraints, issues concerning the remaining half of the actors will be discussed at the next script reading session.

After the script reading session, Link hosted a banquet for the main creative staff of the crew at the hotel on behalf of the company. At the same time, this activity was also used to strengthen the communication and connection between the actors, allowing them to get to know each other faster and have a better understanding during filming.

"Thank you for accepting my offer at the seminar, Link."

At the party, Nicole Kidman stood in front of Link with a glass of wine.

After just one hour's absence, she changed her outfit into a red strapless long dress, revealing her fair shoulders, slender arms, and a high bust.

She wore a sapphire necklace on her swan neck, which was very similar to Monica's Patek Philippe, and a platinum watch on her hand. She looked dazzled and radiant.

"You're welcome. Your suggestion makes sense. In fact, I had this idea when I was revising the script, but I thought that adding these contents would make the plot more complicated, so I deleted them in the end. Just now, after discussing with the two screenwriters, I decided to add these contents in moderation to make Dr. Chase's character more three-dimensional. This is also a beneficial change for the entire movie."

"I'm so glad. It turns out we think the same thing."

Nicole Kidman smiled while covering her red lips, "Link, can I ask you a question?"

"what?"

"What kind of woman am I in your mind?"

"A charming, beautiful woman, which is also Dr. Chase's character." Link said.

"So you'll be obsessed with me?"

Nicole Kidman took half a step forward, her belly almost touching his.

"Nicole, you're married."

Link reminded.

"Humph! When you did those things to me in the bathroom last time, why didn't you think of me being a married woman?"

Nicole Kidman looked at him shyly, with a charming blush on her face and even her breathing became rapid.

"You know better than me what happened last time."

Link said calmly.

"But you said I was attractive, why can't you date me?"

Nicole Kidman asked with a look of resentment on her face.

Link shook his head. "Nicole, I like to pick up girls openly, not secretly. If you were not married, you would be lying on my bed right now, not standing here talking to me."

Nicole Kidman was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, covering her lips and laughing so hard that her body shook.

Suddenly he stopped, looked at Link quietly, and said seriously, "Link, I seem to have fallen in love with you, really in love with you. Every day I can't help but think of you, our conversations, and everything that happened between us.

I know that the things I said and did in the past will make you think of me as a shameless and crazy woman, but it doesn't matter. From today on, I will no longer act like before. I will become the person you like and love you more seriously. "

Link was surprised. Why did this woman suddenly change her style?

In the past, when they were chatting on the phone, Nicole Kidman would use extremely seductive words to seduce him. Last time in the bar bathroom and at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, she also made many provocative movements to arouse his anger.

Now that they were in such a private setting, it was a good opportunity for her to take action, but she suddenly became reserved and took the initiative to reflect on her own behavior.

This behavior is very abnormal.

Is it playing hard to get?
Considering she was Michael Ovitz’s special envoy, she was also a very shrewd woman.

Link would not underestimate her.

"Link, how about we just get along like friends from now on?"

Nicole Kidman said with a sincere expression.

Link looked at her pretty face and lake blue eyes, and could not find any flaws in her expression. He raised his glass and clinked it with hers.
"it is good!"

Nicole Kidman blinked and smiled, raised her glass and took a few sips of red wine, her cheeks flushed, and her every move revealed her charming grace, looking extremely beautiful.

"They were having a really good chat."

Not far away, Ben Affleck saw Link and Nicole Kidman standing together, and a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

Link was wearing a neat suit and had a tall and slender figure. Opposite him was Nicole Kidman in a red dress, looking sexy and charming. The two of them stood face to face and looked more of a match than Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise.

This bastard Link can not only seduce young girls, but now he even doesn't let married women go.

What a beast!

"Who?"

Ryan Phillippe asked.

Ben Affleck raised his chin and pointed to where Link and Nicole Kidman were.

"Don't speculate on this kind of thing. Ms. Kidman is married."

Ryan Phillippe reminded.

"I didn't make a random guess. I just said they were having a good time chatting. It was you who made the random guess."

Ben Affleck grinned.

"I hope Link can restrain himself and not make mistakes like this."

Jim Carrey said, holding his glass.

"That's Nicole Kidman. If it were you, could you control yourself?"

Ben Affleck asked.

"Of course, I'm a married man."

Jim Carrey showed off the gold ring on his ring finger.

Ben Affleck curled his lips in disbelief. After Jim Carrey became famous, there were many scandals in the media and there were even reports of divorce, which showed that he was not a good man either.

"What are you talking about?"

Babyface Drew Barrymore and Salma Hayek come over.

Ben Affleck quickly shut up and turned to look at the two of them. He saw Drew's rosy cheeks, sexy and cute looks, and chubby and sexy figure. She was also a very beautiful girl.

He immediately became interested and grinned, revealing a smile that he thought looked sunny and handsome.

Just as she was about to say hello, Drew Barrymore saw Nicole Kidman leaving, and she and Salma Hayek immediately walked towards Link's seat.

Ben Affleck put down his hands, clenched his fists tightly, and his face became depressed.

"Damn it, he even stole my girlfriend. Link is so abominable."
