"Martin?!"

After hearing the name, Spielberg immediately exclaimed and laughed: "To be honest, he is also the best director in my mind to make this movie!"

Finally, Spielberg added: "Martin's style is more realistic, the tone is colder, the overall style is very suitable for the movie" Infernal Affairs ", and he will definitely be able to use this kind of police and gangster in the United States. The image and conflicts have very American characteristics. I believe that if Martin directed, this movie will be more successful. I believe Martin himself will be very interested in this movie. This content is too suitable for him. . "

Li Mu nodded. As Spielberg ’s gangster director of Hollywood, he must know the peers of Hollywood very well, and he must be more transparent than himself. He is so optimistic about Martin, and believes that Martin will If the script of the movie is interesting, then this matter is basically stable.

So Li Mu asked him: "Steven, I will arrange for someone to mail you a DVD today. When you are resting, call Leonardo and Tom to watch this movie together. Tell them what I want to do, let them take a look, feel it, ask them what they think of the movie, and then tell me. "

Spielberg asked in surprise: "Why, do you want them to play this movie?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "I really can't hide you."

Finally, Li Mu said frankly: "Yes, I really want them to appear in the role, let Leonardo play the police undercover, and then let Tom play his boss, the two partners."

"Understood." Spielberg thought for a moment, and said: "I think it's good. Leonardo is suitable for such a relatively complex role. As for Tom, you can let him play anything. This guy is almost Is the best actor on the planet! "

Li Mu smiled and said: "Then work hard, first help me to see if they are interested in this movie. If they are interested, I will talk to them."

"OK." Spielberg nodded slightly and asked, "What about the other protagonists? Any ideas? Especially the one who played Leonardo with his opponent."

Li Mu said: "Matt Damon, what do you think?"

Spielberg thought about it and said seriously: "Matt is a good actor. I have worked with him in" Saving Soldier Ryan "a long time ago, but Chief Li, in my heart, I think Matt is not very suitable for this role. "

Li Mu asked curiously: "Oh? Why do you say that?"

Spirberg said: "I have seen the Hong Kong version of" Infernal Affairs ". I think that if you want to remake this movie in Hollywood, no matter how you change it, the background setting of the story cannot be changed drastically. For example, that Undercover of the police, he was originally a sunny, handsome and promising young man in Zhengdao, but because of the undercover task, he made himself vicissitudes, depression, and lack of edging. This is the big contrast belonging to this character. Leonardo can explain this contrast very well; "

"However, another dirty police officer who provided intelligence to the underworld, he was supposed to be a depraved and frivolous hooligan, but when he succeeded in the police, he would become bright and beautiful, and Keep a perfect image in front of others at all times. If you are not prepared for this setting, then the character temperament of the role-player will have very high requirements. First of all, handsome, and secondly, qi. Matt is indeed a good actor, but ... … To be honest, he is not so handsome, but sloppy ... to be honest, I do n’t think it ’s his specialty either. ”

Speaking of this, Spielberg seriously said: "Chief Li, in addition to in-depth understanding of the actor's acting skills, personality and character, in fact, it is often more superficial, take a look at his appearance, he is in Visually showing the temperament to others, like Matt, he is great, so I chose him to play Ryan in "Saving Soldier Ryan", but James Cameron won't do it 10,000 times Choosing him to play the Male lead angle in "Titanic", I mean, do you understand? "

"Um ..." Li Mu frowned, thinking of Spielberg's words, and fell silent.

previous life watched Infernal Walker, but Li Mu didn't find this problem. He just thought that the although framework of the two films is roughly the same, but they were given their own unique cultural characteristics. China viewers have seen the original "Infernal Affairs", how much will it feel beautiful The version of Infinite Walker has no connotation, but Americans watched the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs", and felt that there were too many twists and turns, and there were some literary pretense and deep blood and lack of blood.

However, Li Mu is relatively objective. He feels that both films are excellent films, and based on different cultures, there is no need to compare with high and low, just like the plot in Cheng Long ’s "Shuanglong Club" Even if they are twin brothers, one who grew up in Western culture and one struggled on the streets of Hong Kong, the two people will have diametrically opposite characters. The one who grew up can play well.

But now, as Spielberg said, Li Mu really feels that Matt Damon in the American version of Infernal Walker is a little bit incompatible with this character.

In the Hong Kong version, the image of the two when they were young is one of Chen Guanxi and the other is Yu Wenle. Both of them have very high face values. After several years of underworld undercover, Yu Wenle tempered into a decadent beam Chaowei, you do n’t have to take pictures of how Liang Chaowei was undercover in the past few years. It ’s just that the transition of the image temperament can very well explain how hard Liang Chaowei has been in the undercover for several years;

And the handsome and slightly stubborn Chen Guanxi, after several years of becoming the same handsome, sunny, all-day suit and a talented person, Liu Dehua is enough to visually see that he has mixed in the police field in recent years. How striking is the wind, the good guys are down, the bad guys are chic, this comparison is not strong.

However, Matt Damon is really not a handsome guy. Therefore, in terms of image and temperament, he is basically not suitable for playing a successful person in an upper society, so let him play in "Infernal Affairs" Liu Dehua's role is somewhat lacking in image and temperament.

Spirberg means that Li Mu needs to find a character like Dehua Liu who is handsome and looks very successful and people are very nice, in order to better play the role of the character's own contrast, and A sharp contrast with the opponent's play Leonardo.

Imagine if Liu Dehua in the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" was replaced with Cheng Long, it was indeed not right ...

When Spielberg spotted this layer, Li Mu immediately gave up the plan to use Matt Damon, but he would n’t be able to figure out which actors are suitable for him in a while.

So he said: "If you want to get in touch with Martin Scorsese first, if he picks up this drama, let him choose the role, what do you think?"

Spirberg immediately said: "Chief Li, based on my knowledge of Martin, he will definitely take this drama, and he will definitely let Leonardo play the male number one. This is exactly the same as you. However, frankly speaking, Martin ’s vision of casting is not very good, so I suggest that it is best not to let him choose the core role. "

Li Mu nodded: "I get it, I want to choose a handsome one."

After finishing, Li Mu asked him: "What do you think of Brad Pitt?"

Spielberg laughed: "Handsome is very handsome, but he is not suitable to wear a suit and tie and then play a young and promising person."

When Li Mu thought about it, the image of brothers Bearded Sloppy is indeed not suitable.

Johnny Depp is also handsome, but not suitable.

Tom Cruise? Forget it, he was suppressed by himself, so he wouldn't use him to play any movies he participated in.

Keanu Reeves? This big brother is handsome, but this year has been 39. It is obviously not at the same age as Leonardo to play opponents, and this big brother always looks full of integrity, and it is easy to play bad guys ...

Li Mu thought about didn't expect for a long time, so he smacked and asked Spielberg: "Steven, do you have any good suggestions about this role?"

Spielberg thought for a while and asked Li Mu: "Have you seen Michael Bay's" Pearl Harbor "?"

"Look."

Spielberg laughed: "Then you should know the actor Ben Affleck who works more with him?"

"Ben Affleck?" Li Mu searched for the impression of this actor, and suddenly felt suddenly bright.

"You mean, let Ben Affleck and Leonardo play opponents?"

"Yes." Spielberg laughed: "Ben Affleck, acting is OK, the image is also OK, wearing a suit and tie can definitely control the role of a young successful person, and can also control Living on the evil side, and similar to Leona for many years, it should be appropriate to use him to play with Leonardo. "

Li Mu nodded in agreement and said, "Then put him as the first candidate, then we can ask him to come over for an audition."

"OK." Spielberg said with a laugh said: "Then let DreamWorks get in touch with Martin. Our personal relationship is still very good. If he is okay, then the production team will try to let him to form, after all The directors like to work with the close production team. As for the selection of other actors, we can discuss it again at this time. The most important thing at the moment is to first determine the good intention with Martin, and then start the adaptation of the script. Hollywood and the North American market have achieved good results, and the adaptation of the script is very important. "

"Yes." Li Mu agreed very strongly: "The script issue is very critical. After Martin agrees to cooperate, I will communicate with the original" Infernal Affairs "team writers so that they can participate properly."

After finishing, Li Mu said to Spielberg: "Steven, I will trouble you to make this movie."

"No problem!"
