Chapter 917

drop!

Received additional [shock] [surprise] [surprise] applause value, 666 points!

Seeing Griff's bewildered expression, wanting to change his attitude because of the one million check, but embarrassed because he couldn't let go of his airs, Li Shixin felt a little emotional for a moment.

Damn it!

Lord, I finally lived a life that I hated.

After many years, the old man has finally become a waste who brought money into the group.

it feels so fucking

comfortable!

"Ahem, uh, Mr. Li, right?"

Just when Li Shixin was secretly feeling emotional, Griff in front of him finally completed his psychological construction, straightened his hair that had become a bird's nest, and bowed slightly to Li Shixin.

Hastily looking at Li Shixin's basic information on the audition registration form, he politely extended his hand.

"Let's get to know each other officially, I'm Griffnos. The director of "Silence of the Lambs", with all due respect, the check just now is"

Seeing the expression on this guy's face that was extremely hungry for money, Li Shixin secretly smiled.

When he came here just now, he was worried that he was a madman who would do nothing for the sake of art.

But now it seems that he is not stubborn enough to be unmoved by the check!

In the past few years, the box office of two consecutive movies has hit the street. Has this young man who dared to be angry with his former employer endured enough social beatings?

After thinking about this, Li Shixin smiled and shook hands with Griff.

"As you can imagine, I am very interested in the work of "The Silence of the Lambs". Apart from auditioning for the role of Hannibal, I also want to participate in the production of this film as an investor. I don't know if I am suitable for this role, or if I have this honor."

"Hey, Chinaman, are you sure you want to invest a million dollars in the production?"

As Li Shixin expressed his thoughts, the black brother who brought him in opened his mouth in surprise.

"You haven't heard the urban legend about "The Silence of the Lambs". Hmm!"

Before he finished speaking, Griff covered his mouth.

And the latter looked like he was facing a big enemy, which amused Li Shixin.

"What legend? Could it be that there are some unknown inside stories in this script?"

Li Shixin, who knew the inside story, asked on purpose.

"No!"

Griff jumped up as if his testicles had been pricked with a needle.

"There is nothing wrong with this script. In fact, if it weren't for the failure to find a suitable male lead, the production team would have already started! As the director and producer of the production team, I very much welcome you to join our team as an actor and investor ! Lee, I assure you, this will be a smart investment!"

Li Shixin secretly smiled at Griff's self-disclosure and chatter.

Fudge, keep flicking!

Young man, as far as your tricks are concerned, the old man has already played through when he was wearing crotch pants!

Li Shixin grinned inwardly, and nodded to Griff and the black brother who seemed to be an assistant.

"I hope so. Then, when will the crew start filming? As you know, I need to make some preparations before filming begins."

"A week later! I'll give you the script of Hannibal in a while!"

Covering the black brother's mouth tightly with one hand, Griff quickly replied.

Hearing this time, Li Shixin nodded in satisfaction, held the check between two fingers, and handed it to Griff.

"Very well, I will have my agent come over to contact you later to discuss specific contract matters."

Smiling and nodding to the people in the studio again, Li Shixin turned and left with Edith, who didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but kept grinning.

Watching the two of them walk away, Griff in the studio finally breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the black brother who was about to suffocate.

"FK! Griff, what is wrong with your brain? I almost let you kill me just now! Didn't you say before that we have the ability to use your $400,000 to finish this work? Why not Want to take his investment? Heck, it was you who said that you should use the most cost-effective newcomer actors and use this work to prove your strength to Hollywood!"

Faced with his companion's complaints, Griff, who didn't know when tears were streaming down his face, waved his hands.

"Don't say anything. On the premise that the crew has sufficient funds, which director wants to use newcomers? Simon, my good brother, hurry up and notify everyone on the crew to prepare for the filming. The investment of one million yuan is hard-won, and we will be determined." We can't leave time for the donor to regret it! Before he regrets it, we must spend all of this million!"

On the way back to the apartment, Li Shixin called Zhou Yi and asked her to discuss investment and starring contracts with the "Silence of the Lambs" crew and Griff.

Although the little girl Zhou Yi can't speak Mandarin well, she is still very efficient in handling things.

Perhaps Griff's side was more urgent. Not long after Li Shixin returned to the apartment, Zhou Yi knocked on the door with the signed contract and the script of "The Silence of the Lambs".

in the apartment.

"Godfather, is that all?"

Holding the script of Hannibal part of "The Silence of the Lambs", Zhang Shuo grinned after reading the content of the script with a free online translator.

"It's just such a perverted character. As for you spending one million dollars in investment, you made a group with capital to get it?"

How big a pit is this brain?

Opposite the sofa.

Ignoring Zhang Shuo's bitter face full of pain, Li Shixin dragged back to the script.

"You know shit."

What kind of character is Hannibal?

It is not an exaggeration to say that if Hollywood conducts a questionnaire on "the most charming villain in history", this character will definitely take the first place!

In Li Shixin's time and space, Hannibal, a murderous ogre, came to this world with the publication of the novel "Red Dragon" in 1981 and has attracted countless fans.

After that, as the character of Hannibal appeared on the big and small screens repeatedly, whether it was the old Hannibal played by Anthony Hopkins, the young Hannibal played by Gaspard Ulliel, or the The middle-aged Hannibal, played by Max Mikkelsen, is all enthusiastically sought after by people.

While trembling at his perverted cruelty, people could not help but kneel down and worship under his suit pants.

What is it about this twisted ogre that possesses such allure?

First of all, it is powerful!

As a classic villain, Hannibal's most basic trait is strength.

This is an essential quality of any charming villain.

They are either superior in personal force or powerful in ruling power. A villain is, if not powerful enough, a buzzing, annoying fly at best.

If such a character is used as the biggest obstacle to the conflict in the story, I am afraid that the readers will laugh out loud, and by the way, the author will be marked with a huge label called "Silly B".

And Hannibal's strength lies in his extraordinary IQ.

He is extremely talented, not only a top psychiatrist, but also an outstanding surgeon.

He understands music, he can not only play, but also compose, and he can hear the slightest wrong sound in the symphony performance.

He has a deep research on painting, and fled to Italy under a false identity. He insisted on convincing a group of scholars with his extraordinary knowledge and became the curator of the art gallery.

Of course, he is still a gourmet, and his cooking skills are no less than that of a three-star Michelin chef...

He is almost omnipotent, and he is courageous, thoughtful, and has excellent mobility.

It is human nature to worship the strong. In the face of people who are only a little bit stronger than us, we will not be convinced, and even jealous.

But for a strong man like Hannibal who has an absolute crushing advantage, the audience will look up and worship him—even if he is extremely terrifying!

But for an ogre, strength alone is certainly not enough to make this character likable.

After all, no matter how powerful a person is, if he stands on the opposite side of morality, ordinary people will definitely not be able to empathize with him.

If the villain is only powerful, then he will only be awe-inspiring, not charming.

But, Hannibal became an ogre because of his motivation and inner journey.

This is the second attribute of this character - pathos.

In the original novel, Hannibal was born in a Lithuanian noble family and received excellent care and education since he was a child.

But after the outbreak of World War II, he lost his parents and had to live in the forest with his young sister.

Several Japanese deserters discovered the shelter of Hannibal and his sister, and occupied it unceremoniously. Hannibal and his sister were tortured, and when the food ran out, the starving deserters killed the little girl. The demons couldn't help but ate it, and even poured the broth into the half-conscious Hannibal's mouth.

It is precisely because of this experience that Hannibal went to the road of cannibalism.

In fact, all people who are made into "food" by Hannibal are bad people in the moral sense.

From a psychological point of view, Hannibal's motivation for cannibalism is not simply to satisfy his appetite.

Instead, from a psychological level, enjoy the "sense of dominance" that is above human beings.

In addition to these two factors, this charming character also has "elegance", "principle" and other qualities that almost all gentlemen possess.

He is powerful, lofty, and his whole body is filled with a god-like light.

He did a lot of evil and brought disasters, but he also protected the believers he recognized.

He was originally a human being, but because of his past, he embarked on the road of evil gods without regret.

Such a villain, how expensive is an investment of one million?

"I don't know the goods!"

Glancing at Zhang Shuo with extreme disdain, Li Shixin snorted.

PS: The child has caught a cold again. Yesterday the kindergarten teacher called and said he had a fever. He went to the hospital for a whole afternoon and night, and today he has another day. Damn.
