Capítulo 41: 41. Luc Besson
When the female assistant called him to start filming, Rowan felt a little unsatisfied, lamenting that the time was both enough and not enough.
It was a short while in reality, while many days have passed in the dream copy.
But those days seemed to pass very quickly.
Time is amazing.
When you are young, time seems to pass very slowly, and a summer in childhood seems to be extremely long.
At that time, we felt like we were lying on a broken sea.
We feel that the world is new and waiting to be explored, full of curiosity and freshness.
As we get older, time passes faster and faster. After entering society, a summers lips away before we even notice its arrival.
In 1890, a psychologist asked young and old people to make metaphors about time.
The metaphors that young people come up with are usually a calm sea, which is the popular phrase "good times are peaceful and tranquil"; while the metaphors that oIder people come up with are mostly like a speeding train.
There was also an Austrian designer who created a theoretical time acceleration effect.
When you are one year old, one year is your entire life.
But as we grow older, this proportion drops rapidly.
In theory, by the time you reach adulthood, half of your life is already over.
Some scientists also believe that this phenomenon may be related to the speed of neuronal pulses in the brain.
As people age, the speed of nerve impulses gradually decreases. This change will cause our perception of time to slow down, and we will feel that everything in the outside world will be accelerated, just like a computer with a very low frequency cannot keep up with the rapid information input.
Yet another explanation is memory.
This theory holds that the brain estima tes the length of time by remembering fragments of time.
In the early stages of life, we encounter countless firsts: the first time going to school, the first time swimming, the first time traveling, the first time kissing...
These experiences have left deep and vivid memories in our brains.
As we grow older, such memories become fewer and fewer.
When we look back, we get the illusion that the early years of life were a very long period of time.
Because it is pure, simple, not complicated, and every time is a fresh first time...
"So what do you want to say?"
Mary asked with concern "Too tired from work?"
It's better to have a caring elder sister
Rowan said, "No, it's not that tiring. We finished the shoot in half a day."
After all, I'm just a pole worker, and all I have to do is watch Mariah Carey twist and turn.
Mary wondered, "Then why are you suddenly so artistic?"
Rowan wanted to say that it was precisely because he was not very tired, because he twisted and turned so as not to press his wood in Mariah Carey.
This MV crew is so mean! Is this how they test a serious gentleman like him?!
Rowan didn't want to talk to her about his weakness, so he casually diverted the attention "That's what actors do."
"Then let's talk about about it, you have an appointment with Luc Besson tomorrow around 2pm." Mary stated to which Rowan nodded his head in understanding.
____________________________
Next Day, At 1:30 in the afternoon, Luc Besson and Melissa had arrived.
Luc Besson also brought Milla Jovovich.
"She's the heroine of my movie."
Luc Besson casually explained "The promotion was delayed just now, so I came here to join in the fun."
After getting to know each other, Mary asked, "Is The Fifth Element scheduled for a summer release?"
"Well, everyone is very confident after watching the film."
Luc Besson is a little smug.
After chatting for a while, Mary tried to probe.
"Rowan, the male lead? Is his salary included in the investment?"
Everyone has decided to meet in person, and accepting the investment is something that everyone has tacitly agreed to.
Luc Besson smiled and said, "No problem. I welcome Rowan. We have many fans of him in France. The North Los Angeles robbery shocked the world. He is an American hero. It is my honor that he is willing to believe in me."
What kind of hero is he? He just mentioned him when he was watching the American jokes and mocking the police officer
Mary knew it all too well.
The reason why he has fans is probably because Rowan is so handsome. France has so many people who love good-looking men and women.
But it doesn't matter, as long as there is real popularity.
"Did Rowan really play the leading male role in The Mask of Zorro?"
Milla Jovovich, who was playing with a spoon out of boredom, asked curiously.
Mary nodded "It has been filmed and will probably be released next year."
"He has only been in the industry for a short time, right? He has already played the leading role in a big production... He is so Iucky."
Milla Jovovich is so jealous.
"It's not all about luck. Big productions don't just randomly choose the leading actor. Getting a role is 99% due to ability, and the remaining 1% is luck."
Luc Besson is quite looking forward to working with Rowan.
Whether it's luck or he's just a gigolo, his acting is acceptable and his action is excellent, his salary is within the investment and the production budget is not too stressful, and he has a fan base in France, so it is indeed a very good choice.
Moreover, when "The Mask of Zorro" is released, "Taxi" may be able to take advantage of some traffic - Zorro is also a big IP in France.
That's why Luc Besson took the time to come and meet them.
His attitude made Milla Jovovich feel unbalanced and envious.
However, Milla Jovovich is no longer the ignorant girl she used to be, and she is doing a good job as a social lubricant.
"I'm sorry I'm late."
After chatting for a while in a pleasant atmosphere, Rowan arrived at the place.
Luc Besson said "You are not late, we came early. Is there anything you should avoid eating?"
"Nothing."
Rowan sat down and took a quick look.
My first impression of Luc Besson is greasy. I don't know if it's because he was too busy with the promotion and post-production work for "The Fifth Element", but Luc Besson looks very sloppy, like a greasy middle-aged fat man.
It was so oily that Rowan always felt like there was a bald eagle circling over Luc Besson's head.
This hair oil is definitely at the level of first-rate butter, comparable to that of Indians.
His impression of Milla Jovovich is that she is a rather unique Eastern European girl, with a fresh and beautiful look.
Rowan has only experienced Latin American and doesn't know much about Eastern European.
Good looks, average figure. Rowan sat down and looked at Mary.
Mary also looked over and hinted.
Rowan understood it and chatted with Luc Besson without any hurry.
Luc Besson was helpless.
There was still a lot of work to do on The Fifth Element, and he didn't have that much time to waste, so he got straight to the point: "Is there a schedule in the next two months?"
"I have Good Will Hunting and The Horse Whisperer, but they are small supporting roles that won't take up much of my time. But I will need some time off for the promotion of my first movie Face/off"
"I have heard about it, we can work with that."
Luc Besson said while Mila handed the script "This is the script. We can talk about investment after you understand it."
These two people... should be the classic relationship between an actress and a male director.
Rowan took the script of Taxi and looked through it.
Pretty much the same as what Mary said, action, comedy, crime.
The plot tells the story of Daniel (the male protagonist) who spent his last day as a pizza deliveryman and switched to become a taxi driver.
However, in his opinion, taxi driver is not his real profession. He is a real speedster who quietly uses his income to transform his taxi.
But if you often play against the rules, something bad will happen.
One day, he was caught by the police for driving 120 miles per hour in a 30-mile speed zone. He was fined for overtaking and met the police officer Émilien Coutant-Kerbalec (the second male lead).
Emilien failed the driving test eight times, made mistakes at work, was cowardly in love, and even caused a fire when boiling water. In short, he was a fool who messed up everything.
At this time, Emilien was troubled by a group of German robbers. In order to get his driver's license back, Daniel had to help Emilien investigate the case. It turned out that his talent for fast driving came in handy, and the robbers were eventually led into a dilemma by him...
After seeing this, Rowan thought that this was not a taxi express at all, and that a crazy taxi would be more vivid.
The script is very good.
Rowan is not one of those actors who is dyslexic or of average intelligence.
He often reads scripts when he has nothing to do. His eye for selecting films has been developed and he can tell that this is a commercial script that lacks much depth but is commercially excellent.
There is some depth to it.
