It is said that Yi Feiyang took a fancy to Gyllenhaal and thought he was a rare actor talent who would just happen to star in his own film "Buried Alive".
The young Gyllenhaal didn't know that he had been targeted by the young movie boss. After carefully looking at the furniture sketches, he smiled and said: "Okay, I've finished reading them all. The styles of these tables and chairs are very interesting."
Easy to order, give me a week, I promise to send them all here... But I have a question, why do you want to order these, instead of directly purchasing ready-made furniture? You know, that will save a lot
time."
Yi Feiyang smiled, "This question you asked is very interesting, but I can answer you, I like things with vitality, whether it is flowers, plants, trees, or this table, chair and bench, as long as they are designed and built by human hands, then they will be condensed."
Life, with life, things have vitality. If we get along with energetic things for a long time, we will have strong motivation to do our work! So, this is a kind of energy stimulation and conversion!"
Faced with Yi Feiyang's profound answer, Gyllenhaal had to sigh, "Your answer is very interesting and philosophical."
Gao Jiabao, who was in charge of finance next to him, muttered in a low voice, "You're so philosophical, it's not like you can't afford brand-name goods, it's cheaper to order them!"
Yi Feiyang heard clearly and kicked the fat man in private.
The fat man immediately fell silent.
Gyllenhaal saw the two people's little actions, but thought they were "flirting", especially the fat man, who looked so shy that he looked like a gay.
With a chill in his heart, Gyllenhaal said: "Let's do it, dear gentlemen, you can pay a deposit of US$300 first, and I will complete the furniture you need in the shortest possible time... Well, yes
, I assure you once again that your choice of me will definitely be worth your money!”
Seeing that Gyllenhaal was about to leave, Yi Feiyang couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly asked: "Hey, friend, are you willing to be an actor?"
"What?" Gyllenhaal was stunned.
"I mean, do you want to act? Be a real actor?" Yi Feiyang said solemnly.
Gyllenhaal picked up the canvas bag containing the tools, "No, I don't want to." He turned around and left.
Behind him, Yi Feiyang said loudly: "Although you say so, you can't fool my eyes. You like acting, just like you like making furniture! I don't know what is the reason for you to avoid this fact, I just hope
Can you see your sincerity clearly, will you be acting in the future, or will you be a carpenter? Okay, you go, the door of our Fantasy Pictures will always be open to you, as you just said, choosing you is definitely the right choice
Good value for money…”
Yi Feiyang's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally nothing could be heard. Jake Gyllenhaal breathed a sigh of relief. But what Yi Feiyang said just now had already taken root deep in his heart.
Ah, I love acting, do I really have to give up so easily?!
Gyllenhaal was born into an acting family. His father is a director, his mother is a producer, and his sister is a Hollywood actress. Influenced by such an environment, Gyllenhaal has a strong interest in acting and extraordinary talent. In
When he was 11 years old, he began to appear in some small roles in TV series and was praised by his father.
Gyllenhaal has always regarded his father as his idol. He strives to be an excellent son and show him his most glorious side.
Gyllenhaal's father has always been proud of this and hoped that his son would succeed in his father's career and succeed in Hollywood. However, one time, when his father was filming a short film, Gyllenhaal made a series of mistakes, which made him furious.
"Idiot! Idiot! You have no acting talent at all! You are not my son! I don't have a son as stupid as you! Damn it, such a simple scene, but you acted so poorly!"
At that moment, Gyllenhaal burst into tears. He wanted to say that it was not because he could not play the role well, but because you put too much pressure on me, father. But he did not say these words, and just cried silently.
When his father saw his appearance, not only did he not pity him, but he even laughed and said: "Look, my son turns out to be a bitch, yes, a bitch who can shed tears!"
At that moment, Gyllenhaal collapsed.
He doesn't understand, in the heart of his dear father, is his play more important, or is he, his son, more important?!
Gyllenhaal took a deep breath, put this unpleasant past behind him, started the car, and drove towards the place where he lived.
The place where Gyllenhaal lives is a very interesting cabin, with three or four tents set up around the cabin.
The cabin is where he works, and the tent is where he rests. Gyllenhaal doesn't like to sleep in the same place, nor does he like to sleep in a stuffy room. He likes to look at the stars in the sky and lie down
In different tents, look at the sky from different angles. Then connect the stars one by one with your hands to outline different patterns. Sometimes these patterns are galloping horses, deer, or maybe eagles spreading their wings.
Or a lumbering elephant…
In short, the changing sky is the paper on which Gyllenhaal outlines his dreams. Here, he can find his own spirituality.
After unloading the messy tools and bulky materials from the car, Gyllenhaal began to make furniture.
Gyllenhaal has always been fond of handwork, especially as a carpenter, which reflects his special understanding of the structure of objects.
If he couldn't be an artist, he might be able to be a carpenter. This was his idea. But today, what the Chinese boss said made his heart surge again.
Yes, how should I choose? He asked himself.
Putting down the chainsaw at hand, he sat silently on the severed tree trunk, looking at everything familiar around him, but feeling so strange at the same time. Is this the life he wanted? Was he taking revenge on his father by giving up acting?
Or are you taking revenge on yourself?!
A sigh.
At this moment, there was the sound of a motorcycle, and a courier came over with a package in hand, "Are you Mr. Jack Gyllenhaal?"
"Yes, it's me."
"Oh, here's your package."
"My package?" Gyllenhaal was stunned, "I don't want the package."
"Then are you Jake Gyllenhaal?"
"I said, I am."
"That's right, please sign for it. I'm still in a hurry to go back." The courier looked very impatient.
Gyllenhaal signed for the package and opened it curiously. When he saw it, it was a script with the title "Buried Alive".
Just when Jaylen Hill was surprised, the phone rang.
"Hi, I'm Jack."
"Have you received the script? Mr. Jack?"
"Are you... Mr. Yi from just now?"
"I didn't expect you could still hear my voice, haha."
"But this script..."
"Are you willing to be 'buried alive' by me?"
"What?"
"Take a good look at it. I think this role of Buried Alive is very suitable for you, really. If you think you are suitable, then call me. If you think it is not suitable, then just throw the script into the fire and burn it. No
You, this drama has no meaning." Yi Feiyang said very firmly, which made Gyllenhaal feel a lot of pressure. The other party actually trusted him so much.
"But I..."
"I know you have concerns, but what I want to say is, put your worries aside for the time being and pick up your dreams!"
"I still have to say..."
Alas, the phone on the other end hung up.
It took Jake Gyllenhaal a long time to come to his senses. This Mr. Yi was so interesting. He read the script and couldn't help but read it.
Everyone in this world has hobbies, some like smoking, some like drinking, some like picking up girls, some like acting...
Jake Gyllenhaal is definitely a theater addict. Why do you say that? Ever since he was a child and put on makeup and pretended to be a little girl in front of his sister, he has fallen in love with this exciting thing.
But acting requires a good script.
Why do Shakespeare's plays remain popular for so long and so many people perform them over and over again? It's because the scripts are good, the lines are great, the plots are sensational enough, and they give you enough room to display your acting skills.
Now, looking at the script of "Buried Alive", Gyllenhaal was immediately attracted by the content of a single person taking the lead.
The whole story is smooth and not delayed. What is particularly commendable is that the male protagonist is required to use expressions, emotions and other techniques to run through the entire play in the coffin. This is definitely a huge challenge for an actor. And Gyllenchi
You also understand the meaning of Yi Feiyang's words, "Without you, this drama would have no meaning."
A good script requires good actors!
Mr. Yi values me so much, but am I a good actor?!
Gyllenhaal took a deep breath, feeling a little confused.
At this moment, the challenging spirit hidden in my heart has already boiled over...
(Gyllenhaal is one of the few Hollywood stars that Bin Tie likes. The reason why he likes him is because he always regards acting as a noble art, rather than an opportunity to gain glory and huge profits. With those
Compared with secular celebrities, he is so naive, and so innocent and cute.)
