Chapter 495 Just give it a try

Scott came to Shen Lang and circled around him twice, sighing as he walked: "Jeff, your stylist is so professional!"

"How did she come up with such a cool hairstyle?"

"Oh, by the way! I heard that the big afro was popular in your country not long ago? The sword-shaped hair? I think we can try these hairstyles! Maybe western movies can change from now on and become science fiction movies!"

"Jeff, is this your vision? Your aesthetic? Haha!"

Listening to Scott's ridicule of himself and Shen Lang, Li Qiu couldn't help it any longer: "I designed all of this! Please don't say Shen Lang!"

The 1.6-meter-tall petite oriental woman suddenly protected Shen Lang, the "chicken", behind her like an angry hen.

Scott listened to her mumbling angrily, but he could not understand what she was saying at all. His eyes turned to Shen Lang.

Shen Lang consciously acted as a translator: "She said that you can insult her, but you can't insult her work. The hairstyle she made for me is not something that everyone can understand."

After Shen Lang finished flipping through the pages, the middle-aged lady Li Qiu asked Wang Zhuo with her hands on her hips, "Have you flipped through all of them?"

“All, all turned over…!” Wang Zhuo and Wang Yanni were numb!
Li Qiu nodded with satisfaction, waved her fist at Scott, and vowed to defend Shen Lang to the death. After all, although she was a woman who adhered to ethical morals, these could be considered a little compensation for him!

Seeing this, Qiao's face had already darkened. He said sternly to the Coen brothers and Shen Lang: "Three guards, can I have a word with you?"

A few people came to the side, and Joe said in an unprecedented serious tone: "Jeff, before you came, I had already found Cohen and all the leading actors of this film!"

"Now I want to emphasize that the board of directors attaches great importance to this film. Shirley called me several times before leaving and specifically emphasized that I should come to Jeff for a good talk!"

"The Paramount Act is a law named after our company. It is a shackle that has bound the American film industry for more than 70 years."

"Now, if the bill continues, it is very likely that Hollywood companies like ours will continue to be split up!"

"In fact, we are not what those old men who sit in the white G office and drink coffee imagine."

“We respect and are happy to work with companies outside of our company to make movies!”

"For example, Cohen, your two brothers' director studio! For example, Jeff, your Chinese Tiangong Image!"

"So, at this critical juncture, whether you can successfully convince the Senate is very important! It may even become a benchmark film for the company's external publicity!"

Qiao looked at the weird hairstyle on Shen Lang's head and said with a heavy face, "Jeff, change to a more normal hairstyle!"

After saying that, he looked at Shen Lang.

Shen Lang did not rush to refute the other party, but looked at the Coen brothers: "Two directors, do you agree with what Joe said?"

Ethan Coen shrugged: "Your stylist is really average. Don't you think this hairstyle is ridiculous, Jeff?"

Shen Lang turned his gaze to another Cohen.

Joel said directly: "Jeff, if you have any ideas, just tell us directly. We are all willing to listen!"

Shen Lang nodded and said, "First of all, in the original novel of this movie, the killer is described as an ordinary western-style cowboy."

"There aren't many words to describe Anton's appearance!"

"But we can analyze it from the perspective of Anton's character. Ethan, you are the director of this film. What kind of person do you think Anton is?"

Ethan said without hesitation: "Calm! Strong! Murderous! Cold-blooded!"

Shen Lang nodded and added: "Tall and strong, calm, absolutely calm, calm when killing, calm when speaking, and calm when moving!" "Speaking concisely and steadily, with control and authority."

"He has an independent personality, keeps to himself, likes to complete tasks on his own, and has no intention of relying on external forces. He even wants to show that he doesn't even have friends!"

"He speaks very little, his language is concise and restrained, he is not good at communication, and he doesn't waste words after he speaks."

"He has a strong will and extraordinary endurance! In the script, he was shot in the thigh and had a broken bone piercing his skin after a car accident, but he was still able to remain calm and handle it calmly."

"He has principles. What are his principles? He will not stop killing based on the money he gets. He will kill whoever he decides to kill no matter what!"

"By the way, this person needs to act mature in front of the camera!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao nodded repeatedly. He was very satisfied with the actor's deep understanding of the role.

He was originally a screenwriter, and he had studied the script of No Country for Old Men many times.

It can be said without exaggeration that what Shen Lang just said has included everything he has summarized in his mind, and even the parts he did not think of, Shen Lang has taken into consideration.

But, since you know this character so well and know that he needs to look mature, why do you insist on this hairstyle?

When Joe expressed his doubts, Ethan suddenly seemed to understand something.

“A sense of contrast!”

"Yes, that's right, it's the contrast, God! Jeff, you are such a genius!"

The people present were all professionals. After hearing Ethan's words, the other two suddenly realized.

For example, in "Forrest Gump", a man with a broken body but a strong soul, did many things that ordinary people could not accomplish.

Such a contrast highlights the spirit of the characters and the quality of will that the United States pursued at that time.

This contrast between a character's appearance and inner self is often the secret to the creation of a successful character.

Everyone understands the principle, but no one can guarantee that this contrast will lead to success.

After all, this movie has now become Paramount's most important movie. To a certain extent, this movie can even determine the direction of Paramount in the next few decades.

If Shen Lang's attempt fails, the result may not be irreparable, but it can be said to be extremely bad!

"What should we do?" Ethan looked at his brother Joel.

Joel said: "I think Jeff's idea is very interesting! As a director, I agree with his idea!"

Joe looked at Ethan, who nodded and said, "I think we can let him try."

After thinking for a moment, Qiao asked, "Now that the actors are in place, can we just shoot a scene to test the effect?"

Joel nodded and smiled: "No problem at all!"

Qiao looked at Shen Lang: "Jeff, I personally appreciate your idea, but this is a serious matter. If you can convince me in the actual studio shoot, then I will use my status as vice president to guarantee you in front of the board of directors and Shirley!"

Shen Lang smiled indifferently: "Just give it a try!"
