To be honest, Lan Li did not expect that the script that Andy brought was actually a "Nightcrawler"!

"Nightcrawler" is a script written by the famous screenwriter Dan-gilroy (dan-gilroy). He has written scripts for works such as "Steel Fist" and "The Bourne Shadow 4". He cannot be regarded as a top screenwriter, but With his own unique dark style, he became interested when he learned that the profession of nightcrawlers existed in Los Angeles, so he wrote this story.

The movie tells the story of a young man who unexpectedly became a nightcrawler, step by step towards the abyss of darkness, from the observer, the recorder became a participant and even a criminal, and finally merged with the night completely, completely degenerate, and not for the benefit of the news. Fold means.

The whole movie is full of black crime style, quite a feeling of not being mad and not alive.

The only regret is that the second half of the movie was a bit weak and could not be further sublimated. It rose from the position of nightcrawler to the reflection of the entire industry and even culture; instead, it fell into the loop of a small pattern, focusing all the focus on the male protagonist. , This also makes the work from "industry discussion" back to "character biography", weakening the shock of the whole movie. Nothing can go further.

But undoubtedly, this is still one of the movies that Lan Li personally likes very much.

In the last life, as a journalism student, Lan Li always had a preference for works that reflect the news industry, especially now that the entertainment-to-death culture makes uncrowned kings step down the altar, works like "Nightcrawler" are just a knock on reality. The alarm bells ringing, he personally loves it completely.

In this life, as a Hollywood actor, Lan Li was in it, and gradually became a victim and the prey of the nightcrawlers. This became more empathetic. Especially after experiencing the paparazzi incident three weeks ago and the subsequent cold treatment by the media reporters, now that this work appears, it can definitely be said to be appropriate.

Objectively speaking, "Nightcrawler" is not Lan Li's favorite reporter film.

In the final analysis, before he truly became a journalist, he had already suffered a high-level paraplegia and ended his career as a journalist that he had not yet started. Therefore, he still had some beautiful illusions and lofty ideals for the news industry, such as "Focus" and "Washington Post". Works with positive energy like "Bao" can still resonate more.

But it is undeniable that this work can definitely enter the top five of Lan Li's personal preferences among the movies related to media reporters.

In the previous life, Dan Gilroy hesitated and decided to take over the guide tube himself, so "Nightcrawler" became his directorial debut.

After the release, it received rave reviews, with 76 points in the media review, and 95% of Rotten Tomatoes Freshness Index, an average score of 8.2. It also emerged in the awards season. It is a masterpiece that everyone agrees.

At this moment, Andy chose this work, obviously not aimless.

First, after the "Burst Drummer", Lan Li has returned to the track of performance. He definitely hopes to challenge more difficult roles, and "Nightcrawler" is indeed the unique choice for Swordsman, because the male protagonist In fact, it can't be regarded as decent, it should be regarded as a character who is both righteous and evil, walking in a gray area.

So far, most of the roles selected by Lan Li are still positive. "Burst Drummer" is the first time he has tried a character that is not pleasing; if he can try a role that is both good and evil, such as "Nightcrawler", It is definitely an attempt to broaden the play road, and the difficulty of the role is also top-notch. Lan Li has no reason to refuse.

Secondly, a paparazzi just happened to surround Lanli not long ago. Even though he didn't say much on the surface, deep down, Andy has been holding his breath.

In Andy’s view, Lan Li is a very pure, very professional and very simple actor. He devoted himself to the performance. There is not much demand and news in private, but the paparazzi is still unwilling to let him go. . This really made Andy involuntarily irritated.

These paparazzi need a lesson. "Nightcrawler" just appeared.

Lan Li looked through the script carefully, but in his mind he began to think about whether he should act in this work.

To be honest, he is very excited now.

The actor of "Nightcrawler", louis-bloom, is definitely one of the most interesting and unique reporter characters on the big screen, with sharp edges and corners and prominent colors.

At the beginning of the story, Louis was an idle gangster. Although he hoped to find a job, he still wandered around all day long. By chance, he witnessed the work of a photojournalist and realized that he could also make a vote. Then he bought photography equipment, and by tapping police radios, he arrived at the crime scene first to shoot, and then the shooting materials were handed over to the news section team in exchange for compensation.

Gradually, ordinary car accidents or fire scenes can no longer satisfy Louis's appetite. He needs bloodier, more powerful, and more eye-catching news scenes. In order to obtain precious first-hand information, Louis even "hands his own hands."

From the description alone, it can be seen that this is a very dark character.

He was already walking in the dark, like nocturnal animals, such as a hyena; but gradually, this hyena was not satisfied with cruising around. He needed more blood, he needed blood and killing, so he changed step by step. Become the killer of hunting-it can be said that evolution can also be said to be degenerate.

On the whole, the level of change of the character is not obvious, but it is very delicate. From crazy to crazy, that kind of cold but **** and violent change, like a straight punch, slammed at every audience. , The shock that comes directly is cruel enough to make the blood lose its temperature.

Just imagine in your mind, you can outline the corners and outlines of the character, and you can even describe the light footsteps of the character looking for opportunities in the night, like a hyena waiting for an opportunity, is eager for more Blood and killing.

What's more, this is still a negative role.

God knows how much Lanly is eager to play a negative role. It is not necessarily a villain, but it is bound to be a marginal figure who wanders in the gray area; not to break the actor's image, but to break the self-confidence and challenge more complex and changeable roles. This is also an important reason for Lan Li to become an actor.

Andy is correct.

When Lan Li saw this role, he couldn't refuse it. From all angles, it was a role he was crazy about. He couldn't wait for the whole person to pounce on it and take the script as his own. Now he can't wait to start thinking about it. How should it be interpreted, and how should it be presented.

I have to admit that this time Andy's vision is absolutely unique and in place, accurately grasping Lan Li's mentality and needs. As an agent, this is undoubtedly the most important trait; what's more, Andy is still working hard to mediate with Universal Pictures for the pay of Blue Gift, which highlights his value even more.

Lan Li had no reason to refuse.

But Lan Li must still refuse.

Not because the script is not good enough, but because of friends.

In the previous life, "Nightcrawler" was starred by Jack Gyllenhaal.

In fact, in 2010 and 2011, Jack tried to challenge commercial films. "Prince of Persia: Blade of Time", "Love and Elixir", "Source Code" and other works are representative of them. He also hopes to broaden himself. The road of drama, to take the career to the next level.

But unfortunately, all three works suffered box office losses, which also made Jack frustrated, completely cut off the idea of ​​commercial films, and devoted himself to performance research.

At the beginning of last year, Lanly and Jack met at the Berlin Film Festival exactly at this special node. Therefore, Jack's love and admiration for the movie "Transcendence" comes more from Renly's professional attitude towards acting and Tony Kaye's artistic spirit.

This year, Jack starred in two works, "The Enemy" and "The Prisoner". It is obvious that his understanding and exploration of performance is gradually deepening, and he has summarized his own style and stepped on the road of actors. An important step. The styles of the two works are slightly gloomy and dark, and it is obvious that Jack has his own unique interpretation of those negative characters.

"Nightcrawler" is under such circumstances ~www.novelhall.com~ is performed by Jack-if it continues to develop in accordance with the historical track.

From Lan Li’s personal point of view, after "Broken/Back/Mountain", Jack also fell into a short period of confusion. His exploration of acting skills and his positioning of himself appeared to be deviated, until the two parts of "Old Enemy" and "Prisoner" The work is back on track, and "Nightcrawler" is undoubtedly Jack's peak period.

Even in 2018, Lan Li still believes that "Nightcrawler" is Jack's best work.

In order to play the role of Louis, Jack really got into the mood, the whole person is integrated with the character, not only living completely as a nightcrawler; but also like Robert De Niro as a "taxi driver". The self in the mirror completely blurs the boundary between reality and illusion, just like Matthew McConaughey starred in "Dallas Buyers Club", his body was thin and like a rubber man.

It can be felt that Jack has become Louis. His performance gives the character a kind of bloody, cunning and venomous coyote; at the same time, he also has the loneliness and loneliness of walking alone in the dark. Every move makes people shudder. Revealed a cold and terrifying temperament.

This quality not only made Louis the role, but also made the movie "Nightcrawler".

As mentioned before, the second half of the film failed to be further sublimated, which also made the core of the final theme return to Louis, becoming a biographical character, which is very regrettable for the completion of the film; but for Jack In other words, this is also a change like a fish in water.

There is no doubt that Jack gave Louis the soul, which is a crucial breakthrough.

As a good friend of Jack, Lan Li could not **** the character from him.
