Legendary Hollywood Producer

It was getting dark, and Roman left the studio first and came to the more prosperous streets of Droll nearby.

This is the central area of ​​a subordinate city of London, England.

He wandered around for a while before he found a bar that looked ok.

When making a call to inform, Roman looked up at the sign of the bar carefully, made sure that he could not make a mistake, and then put down the phone.

I paid the entrance fee in the past and opened the door and walked into the bar. A burst of popular metal music immediately reached my ears.

Probably because the time is still early, there are not too many people in the bar.

"Sir." A waiter saw a new customer walk in and immediately greeted him, "Is there anything I need to serve?"

"That's it." Roman stopped and said, "I need a private room with as much space as possible."

"Okay, I see, sir, please follow me." The waiter said, turning around and going up the stairs on the left to the second floor. Roman naturally followed her up to the second floor.

"This private room can accommodate 12 people, and it is also our largest private room here. Look, okay?" The waiter pointed to the private room in front of him and said.

"Okay, that's it."

"Well, sir, do you need anything else?"

"Let's talk about it later."

"Okay." The waiter turned and left the private room and went down to the first floor.

Not long after, Christian Bale came first.

Roman stood on the second floor and waved to him, and Bell walked up immediately.

"Is the shooting okay?" Roman handed Christian Bell a dark beer. "Where is Director Nolan?"

Christian Bale opened the lid, took a sip, shrugged, and said, "He estimated that it will take a while to arrive. The crew is busy moving the equipment to the warehouse for storage, as well as the footage shot today. Take good care of it...As for me, haven't you noticed that I am fat? This shows that the shooting is not hard, haha." After speaking, Bell himself laughed first.

Roman also smiled, picked up the beer and touched him, then drank it.

In fact, he has known Christian Bell for a long time, and the relationship is pretty good. It was also when the "Batman: The Mystery of Shadow" project selected Bruce Wayne to play the role, Roman single-handedly helped Bell to take the place.

Speaking of which, there is a little anecdote.

In fact, when he received the audition notice for the first time, Christian Bale did not accept the invitation from Warner, because he was still on the crew of "The Mechanic" and his filming was not finished yet. In order to keep the role as a The physical condition of a patient with severe insomnia, he had to reduce his diet every day and control his sleep, which resulted in his weight at that time being only a little over 60 kilograms.

Christian Bell is 183cm tall. A normal person weighs more than 60 kg. As a star, he needs to exercise and build muscles, so he knows how much he has paid to play a good role.

So when he received the notice, he refused without even thinking about it, because at that time his body was too thin and completely incompatible with the character setting of the Batman Bruce Wayne master, and he actually didn’t like acting in commercial movies. I don't think it's challenging.

But who is Roman? After he learned the news, he immediately contacted Christian Bale’s agent to persuade him from the inside.

As for the agent, he definitely wants his customers to take on this project. After all, it is a film that Warner Pictures attaches great importance to, and it is also a first-line commercial production. He can participate in the absolute protagonist. For an actor, career Don’t have too much driving force. After persuading by knowing affection and moving with reason, Christian Bale began to shake his mind.

Because the agent convinced him like this: Chris, you told me that you want to be a very influential star, right.

"But what you have received in the past are all literary and artistic movies. Have you discovered that this era has changed? Hollywood is no longer the Hollywood of the 70s and 80s. Without sufficient commercial appeal, it simply cannot be a real one. Superstar. Look, Leonardo DiCaprio has become a first-line star with just one "Titanic", and it will be a matter of time before he becomes a superstar of an era. This is the gap."

Christian Bale listened, thoughtful. In fact, he is not the kind of actor who is full of literary and artistic style, but he prefers challenging roles, and it is precisely this kind of role that is mostly in literary films, so he has always been in the category of literary and artistic. Spin around.

And the reason why I didn't accept the audition for "Batman" before was not because the superhero movie had too much restraint on an actor himself, and the gain was not worth the loss? But now after listening to what the agent said, he suddenly realized that it was still very beneficial to the career of an actor.

Then, it was Roman's debut.

He met with Christian Bell, chatted with him for a long time, and told him that this is not a super British movie in the true sense, but more like a history of character growth or a crime-themed movie. appropriate.

In the end, Christian Bell finally agreed to play the role of Mr. Bruce Wayne, and, like Director Nolan, directly signed three play contracts.

According to the agreement, after finishing the filming of "The Mechanic", Christian Bale plunged into the work of shaping and fitness without taking a break.

Under the dietitian’s rules, eat 5 to 6 meals a day, during which time I need to do a lot of exercise to restore my body and develop good-looking muscles.

Who is Christian Bale? The most famous rubber man in Hollywood later generations. It is commonplace for him to change fat to thin. In his acting career for more than 10 years, the weight change can reach more than 350 kilograms, which is equivalent to several His own weight has increased or decreased.

It took 2 months of preparation time. Christian Bale gained weight and muscle, and his body value jumped from 60 kg to 90 kg, and his weight increased by more than 60 kg.

His extremely dedicated professional attitude is also an important reason for his future generations to be so popular in the industry, especially after the body is shaped, standing in front of Roman again, it makes Roman feel that this is the Bruce Wayne in his mind. That unique Batman is also the true king of darkness.

In any case, the current Christian Bale has undoubtedly completely fulfilled the physical requirements Roman gave him at the beginning. As for the shooting, Roman Bale is even more relieved. The role of this movie is for Christian Bale. That said, it is definitely not particularly challenging.

Sure enough, even he himself was very confident.
