Christian talked to a lot of people about the script for Lamb.
From the age of the script, the character of the villain Franks was explained. After explaining the character, they also talked about how to perform it.
He had quite in-depth conversations with many people, especially when he was talking about roles with the silent and dark Jackman, and he even came up with the idea that Jackman was the prototype of the character he wanted.
When he was young, Jackman was handsome, steady, elegant, and had an aristocratic air. His peak appearance had fascinated thousands of European and American girls and drove them crazy.
Although Jackman is now less handsome, his heritage that has been influenced by time has become stronger. Sitting with him, you will unconsciously be attracted by his mysterious noble temperament.
At the same time, he also has a very deep understanding of the character. In order to better understand the character, he also read some medical books and was able to very skillfully describe the anatomical activities in the script.
After talking to Jackman, he was almost completely sure that Jackman was the best candidate!
However, after a few days, Christian suddenly felt something was not right.
He feels that Jackman has been explaining the role of Franks as a bystander from beginning to end. His tone and way of speaking are as if he is a spectator, an audience.
After Christian replaced Jackman as Franks, he obviously felt a sense of dissonance.
The focus is different
The movie Lamb is not about telling the story of the aristocratic Franks, but the story of a silent devil.
Jackman shines!
"Psychic trauma is difficult to heal. Hatred is like some food. If it is buried in the heart for a long time, it will deteriorate and become rotten. People supported by hatred will become walking zombies."
"Obviously, Franks is not a walking dead. The hatred in his heart has indeed deteriorated, but it has turned into a kind of faith, a faith similar to religion. The sinister, elegant, violent and cruel, these contradictions have become food.
part of one’s faith”
"Of course, he should also have a touch of warmth."

Zhou Yang said whatever he thought of.
He even said some comments about the in-depth analysis of Young Hannibal, the prequel to Red Dragon.
After finishing speaking, Zhou Yang felt very happy.
in the room.
Christie looked at Zhou Yang who was standing there quietly.
When the translator told Christian Zhou Yang's voice one by one, Christian nodded repeatedly.
What Zhou Yang said inspired Christian a lot and made him feel that the character of Franks was more fleshed out and more vivid.
While he was satisfied, there was also some indescribable regret in his heart.
Zhou Yang looks handsome and has an outstanding temperament, but he lacks a touch of aristocratic artistic flair.
These things are difficult to perform using acting skills, or in other words, impossible to perform at all.
It needs to be nurtured in the environment for many years, and every word and deed will reveal that flavor unconsciously.
Jackman is like this, unhurried and unhurried, whether he is standing, sitting or talking, he can't help but feel like an old European aristocrat.
Christian finally sighed quietly.
"Thanks for your hard work."
He nodded towards Zhou Yang.
It seems that this time, he will be disappointed again. Zhou Yang does have unlimited possibilities, but in the end it still falls short.
It would be great if he could combine with Jackman.
"It's not hard, just a casual chat." Zhou Yang laughed.
Christian took out the script and circled it slightly, as if he was revising something.
After the revision was completed, he held Zhou Yang's hand, kept saying thank you, and said that after the script was revised, he would let Zhou Yang take a look.
He doesn't have the airs of a great director at all.
After saying this, he greeted Huang Jiacheng and left the room silently with his assistant.
The rain outside the window is still falling.
Huang Jiacheng looked at Zhou Yang.
"Xiao Zhou, don't be discouraged. It's normal. This guy is very picky about characters. He has been looking for this character for five years and still hasn't found the right one. If you say a few words and he can choose you, it's a ghost."
"It's okay." Zhou Yang didn't care at all.
He felt that he himself could not handle this kind of role, and if he actually acted it, it would be easy to make a joke.
The image of the rural aristocrat killing Matt once again echoed in Zhou Yang's mind
Then, it couldn't go away no matter what.
"real or fake?"
"I do not believe!"
"Zhou Yang really refuses?"
"Um, is this guy out of his mind? That's Louis Vuitton, so he just refused?"
"this"
“Did he reject Louis Vuitton or did Louis Vuitton eliminate him?”
"have no idea."
"I heard that many media went to Louis Vuitton for confirmation. The official did not express a clear decision. They only said that the first round of communication was not very pleasant."
"Really or not? I don't believe it!"

June 22.
Zhou Yang rejected Louis Vuitton and said he could not accept the Louis Vuitton contract?
A message from Cannes reached China.
Chinese netizens stared wide-eyed!
At first I thought this was fake news.
Are you kidding, that's Louis Vuitton!
what is that?
That is an endorsement that many international superstars would dream of getting. If you win the entire endorsement, let alone in China, even if you are in the international community, you will be a stinker for a long time!
This endorsement is not only money, but also a symbol of status and honor!
And Zhou Yang actually refused?
Is this guy's brain sick or is there something wrong with him?
This is their first thought!
But the subsequent thought was that Louis Vuitton eliminated Zhou Yang. After all, Zhou Yang’s current identity is too far different from the Louis Vuitton brand!
Immediately afterwards, they felt that this matter was most likely a hype. Otherwise, how could Louis Vuitton look down on Zhou Yang?
It's all calculated. Zhou Yang's most impressive resume is to win an award in Berlin, but the award he won in Berlin is not Best Director. An awesome award like the Golden Bear Award may be a sensation in China, but in the international arena
, it’s really average.
But by chance!
Louis Vuitton's official response from China feels strange.
At 10 a.m. on June 22, Louis Vuitton officially responded.
"The two parties had a dispute in the first round of negotiations over terms, and we may no longer consider Mr. Zhou Yang as a candidate for the Asian spokesperson."
The response left netizens who thought it was a piece of hype dumbfounded!
This stuff!
Are you really shortlisted?
Dispute over terms?
What exactly are the clauses that are humiliating and humiliating the country?
Netizens on major social media are discussing it like crazy!
Everyone felt that this thing was so magical.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, can you talk about your relationship with Louis Vuitton?"
"Mr. Zhou Yang, are Louis Vuitton's terms very harsh?"
"Mr. Zhou Yang"
"Director Zhou, we are Xiao Chen, a reporter from Southern Entertainment. I would like to ask, what exactly did you and Louis Vuitton talk about, and why did the talks collapse?"
"Mr. Zhou Yang, I heard many people talking about you because you don't have an agent. Is this the reason?"
"Director Zhou, there are rumors that you are going to join Brother Entertainment. Is this true?"

China.
Yanjing Airport.
Zhou Yang got on the plane with Wang Shuai and others. When he arrived at the exit of the airport, countless reporters swarmed around him.
Zhou Yang was surrounded by reporters. He was very distressed and wanted to answer something, but after pondering for a long time, he finally chose to remain silent.
After being briefly stopped by the bodyguard, he walked into his own private passage.
In the passage.
Wang Shuai looked at Zhou Yang, and was speechless and sighed again. Looking at Zhou Yang, he felt more and more that this guy was terrible.
He felt that Zhou Yang was quite irrational, inexplicably rejecting Louis Vuitton because of the so-called "freedom"!
This might have an immeasurable impact on his future career.
Doesn’t that mean they want you to change companies?
Is this necessary?
Do you think the whole world revolves around you?
But!
But this guy can't be persuaded at all.
Wang Shuai was a little angry at him for not arguing, but also felt a headache. Fortunately, this guy was not his son, otherwise, he would have knocked him over with a hammer.
Not long after everyone left the airport.
In order to gain the latest popularity, major media outlets immediately began to make up stories based on pictures and start spreading rumors.
Zhou Yang's silence throughout the whole process is suspected of acquiescing to Louis Vuitton's overlord contract!
Louis Vuitton's overlord clause angered Zhou Yang and he broke the contract on the spot?
Shocked! Louis Vuitton’s treaty is so bloody!
All kinds of rumors and false news are flying all over the Chinese Meteor Circle.
In particular, the angle in which some reporters filmed Zhou Yang when he got off the plane seemed to show that Zhou Yang was angry and aggrieved, but could not reveal the contents of the contract for some reasons, making these rumors appear to be false and true, and made up to make people laugh.
I feel very convinced
Not long after this rumor spread, a piece of heavy news came from Cannes.
The content of the news was revealed by director Christian, who just won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival, during an interview with reporters.
"Everyone knows that Louis Vuitton has very strict requirements for its endorsers."
"Mr. Zhou declined Louis Vuitton's invitation because he was very interested in my new movie Lamb. He was afraid it would affect the filming of Lamb."
"I deeply apologize for this. I will seriously consider the positioning of the movie Lamb to Mr. Zhou Yang. After all, this is a movie that I have been preparing for five years. If I have the opportunity, I will follow him again."
Mr. Zhou Yang talks about the script of this movie and the role."
""
Chinese netizens were shocked after seeing this scene!
Damn!
Is this fucking real?
Just when netizens were shocked, Hong Kong director Wong Ka-shing also came forward.
"Actually, Xiao Zhou talked to me about a lot of things the night after the Cannes Film Festival ended."
"As we all know, The Grandmaster is a Hong Kong and Mainland co-production movie, and everyone is looking forward to it."
"However, many things must be sacrificed. Xiao Zhou is a very good filmmaker. When he saw the script of The Grandmaster, he decided to participate in the villain in it."
"Here, I want to say sorry to Xiao Zhou. I never imagined that Xiao Zhou would give up an amazing endorsement like Louis Vuitton because of Grandmaster. I feel very guilty."
