You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 227 Save a life and see the effect of the medicine (3, monthly ticket 400)

Heath Ledger was very surprised. Isn't this just sleeping and passing a pillow to someone else?

"But I'm currently filming "Magical Fantasy Show", so the time may be..."

"But I can't wait to talk to you about the movie now."

Heath Ledger hesitated and said, "Okay, I should be able to get some leave. I will rush to Mumbai as soon as possible."

"Inception" was the last film Heath Ledger was preparing to take. After that, his agent stopped accepting films for him because his schedule was reserved for his directorial debut. He not only loved acting, but also liked fiddling. Camera, I have the ambition to be a director, I hope to be like Da Ben.

Since someone is willing to invest, and he is a talented director like King David, he is willing to go over and talk about the script with him.

"The Queen's Gambit" is a very good American drama that Wang Quan saw in the film and television library. Later, he collected the copyright and wanted to include the original novel of this drama.

However, Rafi later told Wang Quan that the film and television adaptation rights of the novel had been obtained by screenwriter Alan Scott as early as the 1990s, and he adapted it into a movie script, but he did not sell it.

Michael Apted ("007: The Last Day") and Bernardo Bertolucci ("The Last Emperor") were both interested in the script, but ultimately failed to succeed, and recently planned to take over as director of the film Working was actor Heath Ledger.

A talented actor who was about to die of a drug overdose on January 22nd.

King Quan invited him to star in "Inception", and now they asked him to come to Mumbai before his death, just to see if they could deviate from his established destiny.

At the same time, he is also very curious. If Heath Ledger is still alive, can "The Dark Knight" released in the summer can achieve the brilliant results and reputation of the original time and space? Will there be a Bat vs. The Godfather to make Shawshank? A story about a fisherman getting rich?

This is a very interesting proposition. Whether actors have to sacrifice their lives in order to sublimate their characters and works, Wang Quan is very interested in knowing the chain reaction of doing so.

After hanging up the phone in the hotel room, Wang Quan watched the Golden Globe Awards press conference again.

Because the Writers Guild went on strike again, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was canceled and there was only a one-hour press conference to announce the results.

This year, Long Toutou has not made any achievements in art films. The films he produced are all commercial films, so he can only be a spectator.

At this year's Golden Globe Awards, "No Country for Old Men" should be the most watched, but the winner of the best drama film is "Atonement," starring Keira Knightley and James McAvoy (One America), and The little girl Saoirse Ronan, the second female lead, is only 12 years old, but her role makes people hate her. She is an unforgettable villain.

The hit "No Country for Old Men" only won one award for Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actor Javier Bardem.

However, at the National Critics Circle Awards, "No Country for Old Men" won the important awards of Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Ensemble Performance. The future is still bright, and it is the top seed for this year's Oscars.

Deepika did not accompany Wang Quan in the hotel tonight. After all, we are just ordinary friends and have no obligation. Being able to play with him every other day is considered worthy of his salary.

In addition to checking the materials of "Slums", Wang Quan's extra time is to perfect the storyboards of "Inception". Now he no longer draws by hand, but uses high technology and uses a drawing board.

Once mastered, the efficiency will be higher. Now, if you do more preparation work, you can save some time during filming. I have scheduled it to be released in the summer of 2009. The time is actually not loose, so I need to put more pressure on myself.

While I was painting, Yang Mi from China called me and asked cautiously, "Are you still busy today?"

The last time they called, the two of them didn't say a few words, but when Yang Mi heard the humming sound, she knew that she had disturbed Brother Quan's good deeds.

"I'm really not busy this time. What's going on?"

"Oh, it's the second male lead in "Crazy Supermarket". I've chosen someone here, please show me."

Wang Quan opened his mailbox and took a look at the information about his favorite candidate sent by Yang Mi. Yang Mi said, "I chose him from last year's "Come on, Good Man." What do you think?"

Wang Quan looked at the introduction in the film library and said, "Eighth place, why not choose the one in front? Aren't the ones in front more famous?"

"Actually, I think first place is not bad, but the first place was signed by Huayi."

"What does that have to do with it? We have no enmity with Huayi. I don't have to deal with domestic companies like Chengtian." The project "Night Club" was originally also owned by Chengtian, but due to some strange combination of circumstances, it was cut off by Wang Quan.

"Haha, second place Qiao Renliang is Cheng Tian, ​​so let me ask Huayi. My budget is low, and I won't tolerate them if they talk too much."

The Huayi brothers had just recovered from the shock of being promoted to Hollywood's new top seven. Over there, "Crazy Supermarket", co-produced by Wangdao and Mishi, and supervised by Ning Hao, sent an audition invitation to their company's Jing Boran. I went to audition for the second male lead role in a very important role.

Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but sigh, "Director Wang has a big picture in mind. He really just uses the actors from whichever company is suitable. There is no sectarianism at all."

Wang Zhonglei stood up immediately, "I'm going to talk to Xiaojing right now."

Wang Zhongjun frowned, "Just make a phone call."

Wang Zhonglei said, "He is a newcomer and doesn't know much about anything. I have to give him good advice."

"Wait a minute," Wang Zhongjun said, "If Koi is selected, you can ask them if they need a celebrity guest star, which can be regarded as supporting Koi's film debut. It is a great opportunity for a newcomer to star in such a project. We have to work harder, maybe we will become a popular superstar again."

"Don't worry, as long as he strives for his best, I will try my best to push him up."

Jing Boran's tragic life experience is similar to that of Ma Tianyu, but he is just as lucky as Ma Tianyu. He met Yang Mi, a noble man, and successfully joined the crew of "Crazy Supermarket". The company also warmly invited Uncle Ge Youge to make a surprise appearance. , making a cameo appearance, this is a big deal.

There happens to be a music company boss, a gay character in the gay world. In the original time and space, Gao Jun, the vice president of the New Film Alliance, made a cameo. This time he can be replaced by Uncle Ge, who happens to be bald.

The "Crazy Supermarket" project was initiated in a hurry and the shooting cycle was short. Taking into account that labor costs are more expensive during the Spring Festival, it is expected to start shooting on January 25th and complete the shooting in eight days. Post-production will be done after the year.

Jing Boran felt incredible after hearing this. Is it so efficient?

It wasn't until he got the script that he realized that the movie took place entirely in a supermarket. He basically never left the supermarket and there were only a few characters. No wonder it could be shot in eight days. If it was shot quickly, it should be completed in four or five days. It can be over.

When Huayi got the script from Koi, he said that he was fooled. This didn't seem to be the same thing as the sequel to "Crazy Stone" they thought!

However, I have already said hello to Uncle Ge, and Wang Dao has also reserved a role. It is too late to regret at this time.

Xu Zheng was very happy. With Uncle Ge's guest appearance, he became more confident in the movie.

But what makes him even happier is that "The Black Hole" in which he starred was nominated for an Oscar!

On the 20th, the list of Oscar nominations was announced. Wang Quan has moved from the screenwriting department to the director department this year. The awards can be easier. You only need to fill in the best director and best picture.

"No Country for Old Men" and the Coen Brothers, which he supported, were both nominated without any suspense, and the silent short "The Black Hole" directed by him was also nominated for the Oscar for Best Live-Action Short Film, and the response was extremely high.

Moreover, the writers' strike did not affect the Oscars. The awards ceremony will be held as scheduled, and Wang Quan was also invited to be the award guest for the first time.

At the same time, on this day, Heath Ledger came to the unfamiliar Mumbai with the basically finalized script of "The Gambit", and then he was taught a lesson.

"My bag, stop! Thief!"

It's a pity that he is not the real Joker, otherwise a Batman would have stepped forward to help him snatch the briefcase back, and then they would have another fight.

When Heath Ledger came to the Taj Mahal Hotel where King Quan stayed, with his disheveled hair sticking to his scalp, Wang Quan laughed, "It doesn't matter, the script can be reprinted and the certificate can be replaced. As for the money, it should be the same for you." It’s just a small amount.”

Heath Ledger sighed, "But I have a headache and need to take medicine."

Wang Quan's eyes flashed, "Then I'll accompany you to buy it."

It was already dark at this time, and Deepika was planning to stay overnight, but Wang Quan took the initiative to accompany Heath Ledger, leaving the little beauty alone in the hotel room.

Wang Quan had met Heath Ledger several times before, and the audition was the first time they talked, but they didn't talk much. Today was a more in-depth exchange, and they mainly talked about "The Gambit."

"The Queen's Gambit" can also be called "The Queen's Gambit". It tells the story of Beth Harmon, a chess prodigy who rose from an orphanage to the international stage.

Wang Quan doesn't see any tendencies like depression in him, and there is almost no trace of the character of the Joker. Although it hasn't been released yet, Wang Quan has already watched it.

He was even very talkative and told Wang Quan the list of main roles in "The Gambit", "I think Juno is a very suitable candidate for the heroine. Her acting skills are so good. What's her name?" Come on, Lily, right?"

Wang Quan smiled, "She must be very happy to hear such praise from you. I will convey your meaning to her when the time comes."

But when he arrived at the drug store and saw a variety of painkillers, Heath Ledger seemed to have changed. He asked excitedly, "Do I need a prescription to buy OxyContin here?"

Pharmacy owner, "Whatever prescription you want, we just want money!"

Heath Ledger's eyes lit up, as if he had entered heaven, "Bring me some Oxycontin, and this, this..."

No wonder you can take painkillers until you die. Take five or six of them together. Do you know what chemical reactions they will have with each other?

Wang Quan shook his head. If he couldn't quit his dependence on painkillers and continued to eat like this, even if he didn't die on the 22nd, he would die sooner or later.

Wang Quan grabbed Heath Ledger's arm and said to the boss, "Don't take the medicine yet, wait a moment."

Heath Ledger is as tall as King Quan, a big man of 1.85 meters. When you look at the Joker, you really can’t tell that he is also a big man when he stands straight.

However, a strong man like him couldn't break free from the clutches of the royal power. This made him very surprised. Is there something wrong with his body?

"Heath, let's come out and talk." Wang Quan said seriously.

"Okay, okay."

After coming out, Wang Quan took out the cigarette he only smoked afterward from his pocket, "Want one?"

Heath Ledger waved his hand and refused, "Smoking is harmful to your health, so you can smoke."

Royal power, "..."

Director Wang was a little dumbfounded, "What about painkillers? Aren't they harmful to health?"

"Painkillers may have some side effects, but without painkillers, I have trouble sleeping. People who don't sleep will die."

"Are they just some side effects?" Wang Quan shook his head, "Don't you know how many people have died from taking OxyContin!"

"Didn't you say that those people were suffering from other diseases? This cannot prove that it is OxyContin's responsibility. If it is really OxyContin's responsibility, the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) cannot let it continue to be produced and sold, right? "It seems that he did some homework before taking it, but it was obviously beneficial to OxyContin. It seems that the money Purdue Pharmaceuticals spent on public relations and advertising was not in vain.

Yes, the FDA, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, even the Chinese people firmly believe in these authoritative institutions as standards. How can they cheat and deceive people all over the world?

If Wang Quan hadn't watched a TV series called "Addictive Dose", he would have truly believed him.

Wang Quan said to the assistant next to him, Li Xian, "Xiao Li, please sort out the drug-related death lawsuits that Purdue Pharma has received in recent years and show them to Mr. Heath Ledger. I don't want my movie to be filmed." Half of them, the lead actor died."

"But I really need..."

"Also, if you continue to take painkillers, our cooperation may not be able to continue." Wang Quan looked at his list of painkillers, "Just this one, this one is the cheapest. Xiao Li, go buy it and give it to him Cure headaches.”

Heath Ledger was a little angry. He came here happily, thinking that he would get investment smoothly, but his bag was stolen and he was taught a lesson by this young director who was much younger than him.

Heath Ledger only took one kind of painkiller to survive tonight. The next day he started printing the script and planned to return to the United States after negotiating a cooperation. By then, no one would care about how much medicine he took.

However, before the script was printed, he received the information from Li Xian.

Seeing the above news from 2001, the state of Florida announced that the number of deaths due to overdose of over-the-counter painkillers such as OxyContin has exceeded two unspeakably bad things. In addition, there are some news reports from Purdue Pharma and the FDA. It seems that There was really something fishy in it, and Heath Ledger was slightly touched in his heart.

But then he thought again, millions of people take painkillers every year, and tens of thousands of people die. The probability is not high, so he may not be so unlucky.

But he had crossed OxyContin off his list of medications because it was indeed much stronger than ordinary painkillers.

Then he was about to hand over the script to Wang Quan, but Wang Quan said, "Get in the car with me. We are going to New Delhi to film. We will talk about it when we get there~"

At this time, Heath Ledger has lived an hour longer than his original time and space, and the rest will be earned...
