Chapter 48 The Curiosity of Nicolas Cage

But no matter how you say it, Nicolas Cage, who won an actor in his 30s, still has some strict requirements for himself when performing, or the self-esteem of an actor.

I forgot the words once, which made Nicolas Cage feel a little embarrassed, and ran to the side in a depressed mood, holding the script and began to study hard.

Seeing Nicolas Cage's reaction, Zhang Nan came forward with nothing to do and said, "What's the point of forgetting a line? Look at me. Before, I was always called out by the director. I shot a scene repeatedly. It's still fun."

Nicolas Cage felt better after hearing Zhang Nan's comfort.

But looking at Zhang Nan beside him, Nicolas Cage remembered something again, and couldn't help asking: "Zhang, I'm not saying that your acting skills are bad, I'm just curious, your acting skills, [Jingcheng Wuguan] Why is it selling so well at the box office?"

The reason why Nicolas Cage asked this question is very simple. The works starring the two had a competition when they were released, and the movie starring Nicolas Cage lost in the competition.

Yes, Michael Bay's "Brave to Kill the Island" is starring Nicolas Cage.

Originally, Nicolas Cage thought that this result was caused by Zhang Nan's superb acting skills.

As a result, as soon as he got along with Zhang Nan in the crew of "Changing Faces", Nicolas Cage realized that it was not a question of acting skills at all.

Due to the special setting in the [Face Changing] script——the original time and space is that the decent policeman and the villain drug lord switch faces with each other. In this time and space, Zhang Nan and Nicolas Cage have a yellow skin and a white skin, so they have changed their skins. Although Changing the skin is more nonsense than changing the face, but it doesn't matter if they are all nonsense, so Nicolas Cage and Zhang Nan can be said to be two people playing two roles together.

In this way, it can be clearly seen that the acting skills between the two are higher and who is lower.

And the result, of course, is that Nicolas Cage's acting skills completely exploded Zhang Nan's acting skills graduated from the dubbing department.

After all, Nicolas Cage's art films for so many years are not for nothing, and Oscar winners are not all watery, but still have some gold content.

This left Nicolas Cage with a question in his heart.

Why is your acting skills not as good as mine, but the starring box office is still higher than mine?
Is there any justice in this world, and are the audience's eyes still sharp?

Zhang Nan: "..."

You haven't said that I'm not good at acting, so what about riding a horse?

However, seeing that Nicolas Cage's curiosity didn't seem to be feigned, Zhang Nan couldn't care less. After thinking for a while, he began to give Nicolas Cage the conclusion he learned from his later generations on whether the movie could sell well at the box office.

"Cage, this commercial film is different from an art film.

Art films put a lot of emphasis on actors' acting skills, because if actors don't have acting skills, they can't express what the director wants to express, but commercial films..."

Zhang Nan paused, thought about his wording, and continued: "It's not that commercial films don't need acting skills, but if acting skills are enough, it's fine.

Because the focus of commercial films is on the visual and plot impact, the performance of the actors is only auxiliary.

After all, your face alone, no matter how you make expressions, no matter how emotionally brewed your eyes are, the visual impact it can bring to the audience is still far less shocking than an explosion shot of sparks and lightning.

When everyone goes to the cinema to watch commercial movies, many people do it for the excitement, not to watch the performances of actors.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be enough to just watch art films, they are more professional.

Therefore, whether the box office of a commercial film is good or not has little to do with the actors' acting skills. The acting skills of the actors are just icing on the cake. "

"But... the visual impact in [Bravely Entering the Deathly Isle] is much greater than that in [Jingcheng Wuguan]?" Nicholas Cage quickly found an example that did not fit Zhang Nan's statement.

Zhang Nan was speechless again: "..."

【Bravely Exploding into the Deadly Island】As the rising work of the explosive maniac Michael Bay, the visual conflict is naturally quite in place. The reason why 【Jingcheng Wuguan】can win at the box office is mainly because he has golden fingers.

But Zhang Nan can't say this directly, after all, cheating is a bit bad, and telling others that I'm cheating, it's too disrespectful.

Fortunately, Zhang Nan still has something to say: "Of course, but sometimes the box office of a movie is not only determined by visual impact and plot conflicts, but also affected by trends.

For example, at the end of last year, didn't Chenglong set off a boom in oriental kung fu movies, and I caught up with the good time, otherwise the box office of [Jingcheng Martial Arts] would definitely not be as good as that of [Bravely Entering Desperate Island]. "

Zhang Nan's success in Hollywood depends on his ability on the one hand, and his ability to speak well on the other hand.

Anyway, it is already a fact that [Jingcheng Wuguan] is higher than [Bravely Entering the Island of Death].

Showing weakness now will not come true, but it can make Nicolas Cage feel better, gain some favor and seek friendship.

Why not do business without capital?

To know that the friendship of a future member of the Hollywood 2000 million salary club is not cheap, and it is something that even the rich can't buy. Now Zhang Nan only needs to move his mouth.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Nan's words, Nicolas Cage felt much better, and looked at Zhang Nan with a lot of friendliness.

Looking at Nicolas Cage's friendly eyes, Zhang Nan smiled embarrassingly.

Sometimes it is like this, everything has gains and losses.

He is too good at talking, although Zhang Nan can get along with anyone, and relying on the prophet of rebirth, he can make good friends with people who will take off in the future in advance in times of adversity, and wait for the value of friendship to appreciate.

But sometimes it will inevitably have some side effects-always feel a little cool in my butt.

There is no way, everyone who is fooled by Zhang Nan's good words will always cast warm eyes on Zhang Nan.

The female ones are okay, Zhang Nan enjoys it very much.

At worst, after breaking through the upper limit of friendship, it is enough to poke a few needles on the bed for treatment.

But the warm gaze of the man cast his eyes on Zhang Nan, and Zhang Nan felt that this warmth turned into a slight coolness.

No matter in the past, present or future, Zhang Nan doesn't want to be the one who stabs people, but he also doesn't want to be the one who gets stabbed.

"Zhang, I think you are always called out by the director. It's not because of your poor acting skills. It's because when you perform, you don't have any rules. You are all wild and unstable. Or... May I give you some advice? "

Nicolas Cage has been in Hollywood for so long, although he has his uncle's care, no one will deliberately embarrass him.

But after a long time, I still understand the ways of the world.

After feeling Zhang Nan's friendliness, Nicolas Cage also began to express his kindness, and even deliberately taught Zhang Nan to improve his acting skills, and gave advice.

Zhang Nan's eyes lit up when he heard the words.
