639. Chapter 639 Match 639 The Undefeated Man
"I don't understand." Emma Watson stared at Li Xiaole blankly and said, "Why can you tell me directly how to act well, but don't tell Ledger? You know that he can't change anything in a day, and you still have to give him a chance. Why don't you tell him directly that he can't beat the paranoid person with a long face..."
Li Xiaole listened to this and couldn't help but put down the bread in her hand, looked at Emma Watson for a while, and suddenly said to her: "Actually, you are a third-rate actor."
"What did you say!?" Emma Watson's first reaction was to glar at him with hatred.
"You are a third-rate actor." Li Xiaole repeated again.
"I'm not~~! I'm just not mature enough! I'll be much better than now after a few years~~" Emma jumped up like a cat with her tail stepped on, but looked at the dining table next to her and looked at the people here. She was embarrassed to get angry on the spot, so she could only endure the displeasure in her heart and whispered.
What a joke, she started playing Hermione since she was 9 years old and has worked with so many great actors and directors. Everyone praised her for her amazing talent. Even the picky British media said that she is the future "Audrey Hepburn" superstar. Even if she is not the best, she must not be described by the word "third-rate actor"!!
"Whether you admit it or not, compared to Ledger, Benny, and Martin, you are a third-rate actor now. I believe they also see it this way." Li Xiaole pursed and said:
"But if I tell you this, even if it is the fact, you will never admit death, because you are a human being, you have your self-esteem, and you will instinctively protect yourself. Look, even a young actor like you think he is so amazing. He is a real acting genius like Ledger. How could he be willing to accept the fact that he is not as good as Benny? Especially Benny is just a young actor now, and he has nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor..."
Emma Watson also understood what Li Xiaole meant. Although she agreed in her heart, she still couldn't stand it and emphasized loudly: "I'm not a third-rate actor~!!!"
Li Xiaole finished eating at this time, and clapped her hands and got up and left the restaurant. Emma immediately quickly finished the remaining Sarah and chased after her. Li Xiaole walked very fast. She accelerated her pace and finally waited for him to stop before catching up.
"Wait, we haven't finished talking about the topic just now~~"
"Shh~" Li Xiaole stood outside the side wall window of the rehearsal hall, watching as he made a ban on voice gesture inside.
Only then did Emma hear the loud lines from the window of the rehearsal hall in front of her: "Your hairstyle and standing posture show that you are a soldier, but what you said... is a bit out of touch with the times. You said you have been trained at Butts Hospital... Damn~! It's slow again~! It's slow again~~!!!"
It was Heath Ledger? Emma was slightly surprised to hear the sound coming from the hall. The Australian cowboy didn't eat. She turned out to be practicing here. Emma pricked up her ears and listened. Heath Ledger kept repeating this line, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, sometimes in high tone, sometimes with a low moan... Practicing over and over again, so boring, so hard, but he kept doing it...
He did the lines one by one average of 30 seconds to one minute. He did it for about 1 second and didn't stop for a second. He performed about 7 or 8 different performances. Emma's scalp was numb when she heard it, and she couldn't help but sigh: "What a madman in the drama..."
"What is he doing?" Li Xiaole saw from the window that almost crazy Heath Ledger suddenly stopped, gasped, and then rested for a while, then looked at the stone water purification platform under the statue of Jesus, gently stroked it with his hands. It seemed that there were many English letters carved on the water purification platform...
"That is the honorary clean table of our Drama Council, which carved the name of the actor who has served as the leading protagonist of Shakespeare dramas since the 12th century AD. The current Council will also carve the names of the members' best British actors..." Emma replied, turning her head but looking at Li Xiaole:
"One day, my name will be on it..."
Li Xiaole nodded, so that's it. Heath Ledger's failure to star in a stage drama in London has been resentful. He also hopes that his name will be engraved on it and recognized by the authoritative British drama.
After watching Heath Ledger rest for a few minutes and start practicing that line again, Emma also frowned and sighed: "It's so boring, I'm leaving, go back to sleep..."
"The gate is there, you are going backwards." Li Xiaole narrowed his eyes and said. The direction the little beauty was heading in the office where Lei Ting was located.
"You care about me, I like to stalk casually~ Can't third-rate actors hang out in the boardroom??" Emma Watson glared at Li Xiaole with his beautiful eyes and left without looking back. Today she was really excited. For the first time, she felt that there were so many unparalleled geniuses in this world, and for the first time she realized that these geniuses were far more devoted to performance than her...
If she still lives a confused and self-righteous life, she can't stand it anymore. She wants to go to Lei Ting and observe the prototype of Erin to see how to better express this character... If her talent is not as good as these monsters, at least she must catch up with them in terms of hard work, otherwise she will always be a third-rate actor in the future...
After Erin left, Li Xiaole did not return to the office, but sat quietly on a wooden bench on the grass, listening to Heath Ledger practicing this line alone, until late at night...
He knew clearly what kind of person Heath Ledger was. This rebellious Australian genius was never willing to fail. In order to play the clown in "The Dark Knight", he read all the comics about clowns within three days, then closed his eyes and meditated. He even locked himself in a hotel room in London for a whole month, wrote a diary, and tried different crazy laughter, and finally made himself into a state of a mentally ill and turned into a cold-blooded crazy man...
When starring in "Broken Arm Mountain", in order to find the protagonist's melancholy and vast inner feelings, he lay alone in the wilderness without eating or drinking, and lay down for three days.
All the wonderful performances of this young Australian genius were that he forced himself to reach his limit and stimulated his limit potential to surpass himself...
Li Xiaole looked at him, as if he was looking at his former self. When he entered the industry as a martial arts substitute, in order to make better progress, he also practiced movements every day when others rested. After countless boring and painful practices, he became a first-line martial arts substitute, but the price in exchange was that he was already suffering from less than 30 years old...
At that time, an old senior once repeatedly reminded him: "Don't try your life to fight for short-term goals. If you squeeze your body like this, no matter how capable you are, a person has his limits. In the future, you will understand that what you get now is far less than what you give..."
And now Heath Ledger is doing the same thing. He is squeezing his heart and body in a crazy way, hoping to get a performance method beyond his limits... His completely fighting with him will lead to a mental load that exceeds his inner ability...
But he just wants to win, he wants to win forever... for this he spares no cost...
This kind of inner overload entanglement and pain will cause a person to collapse over time, insomnia, depression, and irritability. At this time, there is only one way to relieve it, that is, sedatives similar to drugs...
"No! No~! Why can't I do it, why am I not speed enough? Is there something wrong with my rhythm? Or am I not skilled enough? Tell me, tell me~!" Heath Ledger muttered to himself in the rehearsal hall, sometimes holding his hair, and moaning in pain. He wanted to win, but he didn't want to fail again, but he had no choice...
Finally he couldn't stand it anymore. He trembledly picked up a small plastic box in his backpack and slowly opened it. He took out a needle tube like holding a treasure. A gentle light shining in his eyes carefully unpacked its packaging. Then he looked at the needle that was shining under the light, tremblingly attached it, inserting the injected medicine and slowly sucking out the medicine inside...
Seeing the liquid in the syringe become more and more full, he relaxed from the inside out... It was soon... It was soon... It was soon... It was freed immediately... He would no longer feel such pain... He would cheer up and figure out how to act this part well. Tomorrow morning he is still the omnipotent Heath Ledger...
"Ledger, stop doing stupid things." Suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed the needle. Heath Ledger looked at Li Xiaole who suddenly appeared in horror. His face changed drastically. His gloomy eyes were filled with complex emotions. He stretched out his hand and roared: "Give it to me..."
"This thing can't help you." Li Xiaole held the needle and sighed helplessly.
"This is my business!! Give me~~!!" Heath Ledger had a high veins on his forehead, and bloodshot eyes were covered with blood. He rushed up to grab the needle. Li Xiaole gently raised his hand and pushed his back. He staggered and fell on the bench. Then the Australian actor, who was red-eyed, immediately got up and rushed over again, but was immediately pushed to the ground by Li Xiaole.
