Chapter 252 Are You Crazy? (two in one)

Even Jerry, who has met several times, is like this, let alone Depp who has only watched "Red Cliff" on the screen before this.

Seeing Depp's appearance at this time, Lu Heng felt a little embarrassed. After all, he wanted to kill him with his makeup, and he was quite shameless when he thought about it.

But after gathering so much wool, Lu Heng got used to it.

Who made me a reborn person? I insisted that I was justified. Whoever changed to this position would be more shameless than Lu Heng, because... there is no review in reality.

Besides, I don’t know which time and space this is, maybe Depp in his previous life still shrouded the aura of Captain Jack, just like another Jack, shouting on another ship: "I am the king of the world!"

You are the king in your world, and I live as I please in this world.

No guilt or burden, we all will be fine.

good luck!

Of course, this "good luck" was what Lu Heng said to Depp in his previous life, not the one in front of him. If Depp in front of him is lucky, there is nothing wrong with me.

"Hi~~" Lu Heng waved his hand, in the posture of Captain Jack, leaned slightly to the right, and greeted Depp with blinking eyes.

In fact, ever since putting on makeup, Lu Heng has consciously put himself on Captain Jack's body, one is to find the feeling, and the other is to maintain the coherence of the characters.

Although actors often split between scenes, if they can maintain this coherence and stability, no one is unwilling, unless it is an actor who insists on using method.

"Eh... hi..." Depp hasn't recovered from his senses until now.

It's true that I'm here to audition, but you're here to act, right?
Can you still play like this?

Even Depp didn't know why Lu Heng had such a set of outfits, because in his previous life, he was still determined to participate in the show, and after two days of filming, he felt like he was wearing smoky makeup.

It is not only Lu Heng's makeup that puts pressure on Depp, but also Lu Heng's posture at this time. Even though he is not like Lu Heng who has seen movies, he has done a lot of homework before coming here. Pirates of the seventh and eighth centuries.

Although... at this time, except for the makeup, Lu Heng's posture and feeling made him feel a little strange, but he just had an illusion that this person seemed to have walked out of those picture albums, with a sense of history.

Maybe the dark-toned outfits, or the weird smoky makeup, the stretched stance, and the nervous expression?
Lu Heng smiled and blinked again, then pointed to the chair next to him, signaling to sit down, not planning to have any communication with Depp.

Depp shrugged, then sat down too.

After that, no one came over, until the staff member who brought Lu Heng over just now, came and asked Depp to audition.

Lu Heng: "???"

This means that he is the only one of my competitors?
And Depp was obviously a little bit taken aback. He turned his head and glanced at Lu Heng. He always felt that this guy looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he met him for a while.

Afterwards, he left with the staff in some confusion and was taken to the audition room.

This is a wide room, in addition to the paintings on the wall, there is a row of tables by the window, and five people behind the tables.

The one sitting in the middle is Michael, the president of Disney Pictures, and on his left and right are Jerry and Frank, the vice president. "Red Cliff".

In other words, except for Michael, all four of them knew Lu Heng, but it happened that it was Michael who nominated Depp.

Because before, Michael was the president of Paramount Pictures, and "Sleepy Hollow" starring Depp was produced by Paramount. He had a very good impression of Depp's performance and him personally.

Of course, he was the one who nominated Jim Carrey.

If there is no Lu Heng, and in the absence of Jim Carrey, there will be no suspense in choosing Depp.

Since his debut, Depp also has experience in dozens of works. His appearance and acting skills are also obvious to all, and today's performance was given to him before.

Because it was an audition, he was paired with Frank, the vice president, who said Turner's words. Of course, he said it sternly, and Depp had to act it out.

Indeed, he had thought about it. Depp played this part very easily. In the script, Turner questioned angrily at this time, which happened to correspond to Captain Jack's questions and answers.

In addition, Depp also has his own small movements, although they are different from those shown in the previous life, but such as kicking, looking left and right without paying attention, drooping shoulders, etc., also show the character's ease of use .

After Depp finished, Michael couldn't help clapping.

"Clap clap clap..."

Because of his motivation, several other people who also felt that Depp acted well also applauded.

Depp smiled and bowed to them, the standard ancient etiquette, obviously he has also understood this aspect, which is naturally a plus.

"The positioning is very accurate. The Captain Jack we want is the kind of casual style, which is different from other pirates' enthusiasm for profit. Of course, his brain, his wisdom, is also the support that allows him to do so. .”

After Michael finished speaking, Flack and the others also expressed their opinions one after another. They were all positive comments, including Jerry. Pu's performance is indeed remarkable, otherwise he would not have been favored in his previous life.

For such a big production, deciding on the protagonist is not just a matter of Michael alone thinking that everything will be fine, but also needs to synthesize the opinions of several of them, as well as the senior management of Disney headquarters who have seen the audition tapes and synthesized their past performances and personal images. ——Not only the screen image, but also the consideration of social image.

So, this is just the first hurdle.

Although there are only Depp and Lu Heng, there are still procedures that should be followed, such as grading.

Michael directly rated A+, and Jerry and the four of them also gave an A rating, which is considered a very high score.

When Depp went out, he shrugged at Lu Heng: "good luck!"

Although these words are somewhat hypocritical to competitors, they are better than ridicule or blow, so Lu Heng immediately expressed his gratitude, but Lu Heng is not serious, but draws a long tone. Of course, his The eyes are still sincere.

Coupled with Lu Heng's attire at this time, Depp was stunned, shook his head speechlessly, and left.

Lu Heng wondered if he was thinking in his heart: Crazy?
Probably, Captain Jack’s neuroticism is quite famous. Although the creator is Depp himself, the artistic image is not achieved overnight. During the shooting process, it is constantly adjusted or even overturned. The current Depp does not know several people in the past. Captain Jack a month later.

Just like Lu Heng's "Red Cliff", it has already changed beyond recognition.

Then Lu Heng went in.

What he didn't expect was that the first person to talk to him was not Jerry and Frank, or the two senior executives of Disney Pictures who had met once, but the president Michael.

"I heard them say that your movie is very exciting, and I also know that you directed and acted in it yourself. Now the total box office has exceeded [-] million. It is very good, but unfortunately, I have been busy recently and haven't had time to enjoy it."

"If possible, I invite you to watch it tonight." Lu Heng smiled.

"Unfortunately, I also need to go to the studio to see the post-production of another film in the afternoon."

After a pause, Michael said: "These are not important. Our movie is a brand new one, including characters that are different from Disney's previous protagonists. Therefore, I would like to see your performance today."

Hearing this, Lu Heng smelled something, probably... Depp is his favorite?
It is not difficult to have this guess. After all, this is the development track of the previous life. Without the strong support of the president, Depp may not be able to rise to the position.

Even Depp is like this, not to mention myself, even if Jerry is optimistic about himself, Frank has expressed goodwill, but in the world of adults, until the last step, you can never believe the temporary situation, even if Lu Heng is also an investor.

And Lu Heng's confidence comes more from himself, not just investment.So his preparations are going all out to perfection.

"So, shall we begin?" Michael asked.

"Of course." Lu Heng nodded and made a gesture of invitation.

"What kind of Jack should you understand?" Michael asked straightforwardly.

"Both good and evil." Lu Heng said without hesitation.

"Both good and evil..." Michael repeated, suddenly becoming interested: "Why do you say that?"

Lu Heng explained his analysis, and finally said:

"He is essentially a good person who values ​​love and righteousness, but the environment in which he lives complicates his adaptation, so it can also be said that he is a person with strong adaptability."

Michael blinked, nodded and said, "That's a good point."

Turning his head to look at Jerry next to him, Jerry happened to look over too, Michael smiled, then turned to Lu Heng and said:

"Next, let us see your performance?"

"Ok."

After Lu Heng finished speaking, Michael said: "You have 5 minutes to brew your emotions."

Lu Heng didn't directly say no, but nodded, closed his eyes and recalled it for a while, then adjusted his body slightly, muttered words for a while, and after about a minute or two, opened his eyes and said, "Yes. gone."

Michael said in surprise, "So fast?"

Lu Heng took two steps forward slowly, leaned forward slightly, and then pointed to his head: "It's all here, it's perfect~"

Lu Heng smiled brightly, but in his bright expression, he could feel through his eyes that it was not the kind of silly happiness, but a kind of extremely confident pride.

Michael was taken aback, and looked at Jerry and the others again, looking at each other.

Is this going to happen?

Jerry became interested, took the lines from the person next to him, and read:
"You escaped from here last time, you can do the same this time."

This is Elizabeth's word. The two were forced to disembark by Barbossa and came to the island where Jack was thrown off by Barbossa last time.

Because Barbossa's men and first mate Gibbs told the legend about Jack's escape from the island, Elizabeth was not too desperate, but let Jack go again and took her away with her.

However, Jerry is only slightly emotional, such as excited and fast speaking, but his body does not move.

When Lu Heng heard what he said, he turned sideways and walked to the right, his eyes were gloomy and deep, like the precursor of a storm.

Just as Jerry finished speaking, Lu Heng suddenly turned his head, frowned, stared at Jerry, and said loudly:

"What's the use? The ghost ship is gone!"

He looked Jerry up and down coldly: "Unless, you have a ship hidden on you..."

But after he finished speaking, he curled his lips in mockery, and spread his hands: "I don't think so!"

With his head tilted, Lu Heng's tone became sincere again: "By the time you arrive, Mr. Du will be dead long ago..."

When he said this, Lu Heng also spoke a lot slower, which made Jerry and the others feel a kind of trustworthy softness.

So weird.

Not only Jerry, but Michael also found it incredible.

During this short period of time, the expression on Lu Heng's face changed several times, making it difficult to understand his character, as if he was really neurotic.

It is him who is irritable, he is indifferent, he is unruly, and he is sincere...and he is also.

After speaking, Lu Heng turned and walked forward again.

Because he turned around just now, this time he was walking in the opposite direction, which means he was still in front of Michael and Jerry—and according to the performance in the movie, Jack was always walking in one direction.

If he still walks like this here, then he will walk out of the sight of these people and go to the corner of the room. How can he show and behave to them, let alone see his expression.

This was designed by Lu Heng early in the morning, and it is always in the middle of the lens and above the focus of the audience. Although the sense of the lens is a must for actors, when the lens is no longer there, you need to grasp it yourself.

Jerry and the others were all brought in by the paragraph just now. After a moment of hesitation, Jerry spoke again:

"But you are Captain Jack Sparrow! You were surrounded, and you escaped easily? You captured Nassau City without firing a single shot. Are you a legendary pirate?"

Although the rhythm was disrupted by him, Lu Heng himself did not. It was like Jerry had a trigger device, and he continued as soon as he touched it——

Lu Heng stood there, leaning back slightly, but swaying slightly, looked at Jerry with erratic eyes, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Jerry continued: "How did you escape last time?"

Lu Heng's throat rolled, he hesitated to speak, seemed to be entangled in something, took two steps forward and came to Jerry, poked his head forward a little, and finally exhaled in a deep and helpless voice :

"Last time... I only stayed for three days..."

Lu Heng's hand was also raised following his words, and he held it slightly and then let go, showing that his inner emotions were fluctuating.

He shook his head, his face was even a little ferocious, and then with heavy panting, he paused word by word:

"Last time, bootleggers used this island as a warehouse, and I convinced them to give me a ride."

Then Lu Heng made a move to open the cellar door, then heaved a long sigh and spread his hands:
"It seems that they have been arrested long ago."

Looking up, Lu Heng gritted his teeth and looked at Jerry: "I think it's all thanks to your friend Commodore Nuo."

Norrington, the Commodore, is also Elizabeth's fiancé who promised him to marry him in order to save Turner.

"That's it?" Jerry said Elizabeth's words.

Or it can also be translated as: that's it?

I thought you were a legendary pirate who stepped on two big turtles to ride the wind and waves, but in the end...the poor ghost who escaped after begging a smuggler for a ride?

Is the gap between reality and ideal too big?
"This is the legendary story of Captain Jack?" Jerry continued to speak Elizabeth's words:

"During those three days, you just lay on the beach and drank alcohol?"

When Jerry said it, Lu Heng was not embarrassed or unhappy, just like watching with cold eyes, squinting at Jerry, the corner of his mouth slightly raised indifferently, an image of an unscrupulous gangster.

Often in the process of performing, acting skills do not lie in speaking, but when he is listening to others, some actors just stand there and look at their opponents dryly, while some actors, although they also have their own small movements, but seem It's a bit out of touch with the screen, which makes people play.

At this time, Lu Heng's movements are not on the body, so the body is basically still, but the expression on the face, there are many subtle small movements, not only did not make people play, but his character and image are impressive. It fits the situation very well.

Michael subconsciously thought of Depp's performance just now. Although it was brilliant, compared with Lu Heng at this time, it was a bit inferior.

Although Lu Heng was referring to Depp's own performance in the previous life, after all, there was no physical performance at this time, not to mention that the opponent in the play - Jerry, was just reading words dryly, with a change in tone at most, not only could not increase his On the contrary, it will interfere with his performance.

But in this case, Lu Heng can still restore Depp's performance in the movie, which is naturally much better than Depp himself.

Or, this is also another interpretation of using the power of the other to return to the other.

“Welcome to the Caribbean~”

Lu Heng bared his teeth and grinned, holding the wine bottle with both hands, shaking it left and right, full of coquettishness, this state is worthy of the description of evil spirit.

In this scene, Michael and the others who felt intuitively felt a kind of impact. It was no longer Lu Heng in front of them, but really Captain Jack.

Just like Lu Heng himself expressed, he is a non-mainstream pirate who is both evil and good, and has many changes.

"Papa papa papa~~"

Several people applauded unanimously, with approval in their eyes.

Although in the final evaluation, Michael still gave an A with some subjective factors, but Jerry and the others all gave an A+ evaluation.

Therefore, this evaluation is obviously higher than that of Depp.

But Michael didn't have too much emotion. Depp is excellent, and Lu Heng is no less impressive. If it weren't for preconceived ideas, he would probably give it an A+.

Besides, this is not the last step for them, and the video tape will be brought to the headquarters to watch.

An investment of more than 1 million yuan is not so easy.

Just like Xiao Lizi yelled the phrase "king of the world" at the bow of the boat, Lu Heng also has the motivation to climb up. As early as when he attended their 78-level boss party, Lu Heng said to himself in his heart:

"Become a boss, become a capital boss!"

　thanks for your support.
