Chapter 120: Australian Gang (middle)

Even Mel Gibson was surprised. He didn't expect that Dunn would have interacted with so many Australian actors in the two or three years of his presence in Hollywood.

No matter what Dunn's intentions are, he has won space for Australian actors in Hollywood, no doubt about it.

Mel Gibson took a deep look at Dunn, and felt more and more that the young and disrespectful director in front of him was very reliable.

He is also a director himself and won the Oscar for Best Director, but he is only a director after all.

And what about Dunn?

He has a grand industrial layout!

Although this has become a joke in Hollywood, it is believed that the industrial layout of Dunn Pictures is too large, too complicated, and too bloated, and it will go bankrupt sooner or later.

Mel Gibson, who can find dreams, doesn't think so.

Young people, if you don't even have a dream, what else can you pursue?

Fame, fortune, women?

If so, Mel Gibson can't guarantee whether Dunn will achieve great success, but he will definitely not get his respect.

He hates those Yankees who sit back and enjoy extravagantly!

And Dunn is obviously not such a person.

Even the industrial planning revealed by Tang En Pictures at present surprised even him, a man who had dreamed and pursued dreams.

Mel Gibson led Dunn, came to the two men who were talking, and introduced enthusiastically, "Dawn, this is Hugo Weaving, an absolute acting school. This is Heath Ledger, he ...This person is a joke!"

Dunn shook hands quickly, "Hugo, your performance in "The Matrix" was amazing, I look forward to working with you."

Hugo Weaving was very respectful, "It's my honor to work with the director."

When facing Heath Ledger, Dunn couldn't help but sigh, what a handsome, handsome young guy!

"Heath, what movie have you been in recently?"

Heath Ledger is a very sunny young man, he is one year younger than Dunn, he smiled naively, "I have two movies released this year, "Hands" and "The Evil Girl on the Opposite".

Tang En said rudely, "What movie? I've never heard of it!"

Heath Ledger's face froze, very embarrassed.

Mel Gibson raised his eyebrows and found that Dunn was in different moods in front of Heath Ledger.

"I took on an A-level production of "The Patriot", and recommended Heath as the second male lead. His performance was excellent. It is expected... The film will be released in the summer next year, and you can pay attention to it."

Mel Gibson's rounder relieved Heath Ledger from the embarrassment and said with a smile, "Yeah, Mel also became the number one person in Hollywood because of this movie!"

"Oh?"

Dunn was a little curious.

Mel Gibson showed a bit of pride on his face, and pretended not to care, "It's not a big deal, it's just crushing Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Jim Carrey and others to become The first actor in Hollywood history to be paid more than $20 million."

"How many?"

"$25 million!"

Mel Gibson has his proud capital and a salary of 25 million US dollars, which is definitely an epoch-making symbol.

Tang En asked with a half-smile, "Are there any dividends?"

Mel Gibson said angrily: "Is there any need to ask? Dividends are not so easy to get."

Dunn said with a smile: "I heard... Tom Cruise won a '20+10' contract in "Mission Impossible 2". Is he also the first person among the actors?"

"Bullshit!"

Mel Gibson was immediately excited. He called himself the number one Hollywood star, and he couldn't bear to have a **** riding on his head.

"'20+10' requires a special premise! "Mission: Impossible" is Cruise's private project, and if Paramount does not cooperate, he will find other film companies. Paramount issued such a contract, not his Actors' worth, but producers' dividends!"

Mel Gibson looked a little indignant, "Can Cruise's salary be comparable to mine for other film projects? The performance of "Eyes Widespread", let alone dividends, his salary is less than 10 million US dollars, which is How do you compare to me? In the past ten years, the movies I starred in have never been paid less than 20 million!"

After several attempts, Dunn finally understood Mel Gibson.

He has strong self-esteem and vanity, is warm and righteous, speaks boldly, and is informal. He will definitely not be liked by all his collaborators.

"Haha, it's just a joke, why should you care?" Dunn patted Mel Gibson on the shoulder, feeling that his straightforward and simple character was rather cute.

Mel Gibson also felt a little gaffe, waved his hand, and recommended Heath Ledger to Dunn again, "Dawn, Heath is a very good actor, and his talent... amazing! To be honest, when I played with him, I had a pressure I had never felt before, for fear of being overwhelmed by him."

Dunn nodded solemnly and paused, "Well, Heath, within five years, I will start a project, the goal... Oscar!"

Heath Ledger is definitely the most poignant actor, and his untimely death is a huge loss for Hollywood.

Even Mel Gibson Down wanted to save, not to mention Heath Ledger.

At this time, several more actors came over. Richard Roxburgh, Toni Collette and others were stunned when they heard Dunn's words.

Oscar?

That's a detached existence in the entertainment industry. To be able to get a nomination is to be successful, and it will give a big boost to the career.

In the entire "Australian Gang", only national treasure actors Geoffrey Rush and Mel Gibson have won Oscars, and only two actresses, Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett, have been nominated. .

"Dawn, you... you're not kidding?" Not to mention other people, even Mel Gibson was a little envious.

He won the Oscar for Best Director. As for the Actor Award... he has not been nominated yet.

Dunn looked serious, "Trust my vision, Mel. Heath is an outstanding actor, he is young, and he has great potential. After two or three years of tempering his acting skills, a mere Oscar nomination is not a problem at all. "

Heath Ledger is only 20 years old this year. Two or three years later... he is still a pink boy. At this age, can he be on the Oscar red carpet?

This is the kind of treatment that Australian actors have never had before!

Looking at the surprised and suspicious expressions of others, Dunn shook his head with a serious face, "Heath, I want to talk to you alone."

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood that Tang En was going to be serious.

Looking at Heath Ledger's eyes, it was mixed with envy, jealousy and hatred.

The two came to a corner, Dunn asked for two glasses of champagne, took a sip with him, and asked, "Heath, your performance...is it an experience?"

"Um."

"Has anything happened?"

"The situation?"

Heath Ledger didn't understand.

Tang En shook his head, "The performances of the experiential group... are very brilliant, but they are also very painful. Throughout Hollywood, the mainstream is the expressionist actor, and there are also some method-based actors, but the experiential group... is rare, do you know why? ?"

Heath Ledger is an actor from Ye Luzi, who has not studied performance theory in a formal and systematic way.

Since the formation of the three major performance theories, the experience school has become a shrine in the performance world with a detached attitude, which can be looked up at but not touched.

The fundamental reason is that the experiential performance method will bring great pain to the actors.

The experiential school talks about "the unity of body and mind", "to achieve the subconscious creation of nature through conscious psychological technology", and it talks about "on the stage, in the living environment of the character, it is exactly as correct and in line with the character as the character. To think, hope, desire, and act logically, in sequence, and as a living human being."

In other words, the experience school is to let the actors create a "dual personality"!

Let the actor become another person during the performance.

For any normal person, this is a very painful thing. Only geniuses and lunatics have the courage to choose this path.

For example, the most famous representative of contemporary times: Daniel Day-Lewis.

Since the 1990s, after fully understanding the essentials of the experience school~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Daniel Day-Lewis's production has been significantly reduced, because he needs to spend a lot of time to establish a second personality before filming; then the filming is over, It took a lot of time to resolve the mental damage caused by the second personality.

Daniel Day-Lewis is a professional actor. He has systematically studied acting theory, so he can control his body and spirit calmly.

However, Heath Ledger was different, he was born in a wild way!

Such a situation allowed Heath Ledger to create a large number of spiritual personalities during his long experiential performances, which even led to schizophrenia.

He didn't understand the reason, and could only rely on a lot of painkillers and sedatives to maintain stability.

But over time, his mental state became more and more serious, especially after the performance of The Joker in "Batman: The Dark Knight", the whole person's spiritual world almost collapsed.

He took a lot of drugs to relieve the pain, but the side effects of the overdose cost him his life.

In today's world, there are very few true experiential actors, and the performances brought by experiential actors are often shocking!

Similar to Wang Jiawei, the reason why he has to make a movie for many years is to rub off the performance traces brought by the method and expressionism that professional actors have learned, and completely integrate into the role and play the role to life.

Many directors of avant-garde literary films prefer to use amateur performances that fit their roles, rather than choosing professional actors. It is to save the actors from the pain of establishing a "dual personality", and directly use the first personality to bring the most real and touching performance.

This is another way to present the effect that the director can't find an experiential actor and is looking for.

If Dunn wants to save Heath Ledger, he must first make him recognize the current situation.
