Chapter 657 "Spider-Man" Actor Audition! (2 in 1)(1/2)
"To be honest, this drama can be called a man's drama. In addition to the heroine, there are all male actors. We can definitely decide the heroine first!" In the audition hall of DreamWorks, Feng Xiaogang, Wang Meng and others are conducting the audition for "Spider-Man"!
"Then do you think the few that do you think are suitable just now?" Wang Meng asked Feng Xiaogang.
Just now, a group of people watched the performances of five Hollywood actresses. Unexpectedly, it should be said that it was beyond Feng Xiaogang's expectations that so many Hollywood actresses came.
This once again subverted Feng Xiaogang's thoughts.
It turns out that DreamWorks is so famous? There are so many Hollywood stars coming to run for the election, which is a very amazing thing in his opinion.
Often, Chinese directors go to Hollywood to invite actors with money. I have never encountered such uninvited people to compete.
This time I've seen it!
When Feng Xiaogang heard Wang Meng ask about the right thing, he scratched his head and said, "Originally? According to my idea, these guys are all very suitable. After all, they are all famous actresses. But! I didn't expect that our movies are so popular, so I'm a little confused. It's really hard to choose the most suitable one."
After saying that, seeing Wang Meng smiling, Feng Xiaogang asked, "Are you optimistic?"
Wang Meng nodded after hearing this.
Sometimes he sighs, lamenting that the inertia of history is very strong! Especially when he sees Kirsten Dunst, the original version is the heroine played by Kirsten and his girlfriend who grew up with the male protagonist's childhood sweetheart.
When he saw it again, Wang Meng was confused, but now he has confidence.
"Who do you think of?" Feng Xiaogang asked hurriedly?
Wang Meng tapped the table with her index finger and said, "What do you think of Kirsten? Which blonde one?"
After hearing this, Feng Xiaogang quickly found Kirsten's information.
"In 1989, seven-year-old Dunst entered the big screen and played the role of Mia Farrow's daughter in "Oedipus' Troubles" filmed by director Woody Allen.
In 1990, 9-year-old Dunst collaborated with Tom Hanks on "The Bonfire of Vanity". The American drama "Sisters" brought her into the public eye.
"Night Visit to Vampire" released in 1994, the 11-year-old stood out from more than 5,000 candidates and got a role. She played the little vampire Claudia in the film and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the film. In the same year, he also took on two films: "Little Woman" and "Greedy".
In 1995, Kirsten Dunst starred in the movie "The Brave" and was named one of the "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" by "People".
In 1998, Kirsten Dunst got a role in "The Big League of Pinks". In 1999, she rejected the rosebud character in Sam Mendez's "American Beauty" and chose "Virginal Suicide" directed by Sophia Coppola. During this period, she tried many types, including the movie "Malicious Temptation" adapted from Turgenev's novel "First Love" and the magical work "Crave Warrior", in addition to starring in "Beauty and Crazy" and "The Great Difference". In 2000, she played the ambitious cheerleader in "Beauty Girls Cheerleader".
In 2001, Dunst collaborated on "Cat Meow" with Peter Bogdanovic. At the age of 18, Kirsten Dunst had a production company that cooperated with her mother. When she was filming, she usually managed her own company with her mother.
In 2003, she worked as a voiceover in Europe's first 3D animation "Gana". During this period, Dunst also collaborated with Julia Roberts on "The Smile of Mona Lisa".
In 2004, she starred in the tennis-themed film "Wimbledon", and another work she participated in in the same year was "Eternal Sunshine of the Beautiful Heart". At the age of 24, she collaborated with Sophia Coppola again to star in "The Peerless Queen".
Between 2008 and now, Kirsten Dunst did not take any movies, but came to the Shekroge Treatment Center in Utah for treatment."
...
Feng Xiaogang looked at Kirsten's information and thought for a while and said, "It seems that he is planning to make a comeback. Will it be bad if it affects you?"
"No!" Wang Meng was very sure!
He knew what Feng Xiaogang was worried about? After all, rumors are sometimes speechless. Feng Xiaogang was worried about Kirsten, who had not filmed for more than two years. Is there any reason? For example, I am sick?
Not to mention that I haven’t been involved in movies for two years, will I be unfamiliar with or not adapting to anything else?
"That's fine. You have a good view of people. I'm really worried about letting me choose. Since you say that, then she's fine." Feng Xiaogang is not the kind that he doesn't want to be stubborn.
He is stubborn when he is confident because he has confidence, but he will naturally be obedient when he is not familiar with him.
"Believe me, this is the best choice!" Wang Meng smiled after hearing his opinion.
"Listen to you, you are a producer and investor anyway, so you won't cheat yourself." Feng Xiaogang waved his hand!
...
After the heroine is selected, the rest is simple. The hero Lin Yun’s friend, Harry Osborn in the original drama, Wang Meng and Feng Xiaogang are both optimistic about one person, Deng Chao, who has worked with Wang Meng several times!
This has to be said to be a fate. Huang Xiaoming is the starring role again this time, and Deng Chao is the supporting role again. This is how it was in "Butterfly Effect". I have to say that the Chao brother here is a bit of a beast.
Wang Meng was a little embarrassed and even thought that he would make up for Brother Chao in the future. He liked this actor very much.
The Green Devil's father was won by Hollywood star William Dafoe.
The other candidates were Lin Yun's uncle and aunt, and two old Chinese actors won it.
There are many supporting roles in the play, and several less famous actors from China and Hollywood have been won.
Maybe these are not important to Wang Meng. But they have a different effect on the selected actors. They are waiting for the news nervously.
They value a movie that is adapted from a world-renowned comic with a large investment of $150 million.
"That's it!" Feng Xiaogang and Wang Meng and others discussed for nearly three hours, and finally formulated the cast list.
"I think it's very good. Chinese actors and Hollywood actors account for almost half each. Let's not talk about their fame for now, we chose the most suitable one, which is great. Moreover, the pay of these people is not too high, which can save some unnecessary waste and better use effective resources in movies." Feng Xiaogang said.
Wang Meng nodded, "That's how I think about it. You have watched the heroine with the highest pay. Because she hasn't taken a movie for two years, her popularity has declined, and the pay is very low. Our domestic male actors are only at the highest point, and the others are average. In short, the entire actor team's pay is less than 30 million US dollars. In this way, at least 90 million is spent on filming movies and crew expenses. This is what I think is the most perfect setting. I personally hate the outrageous high pay for actors, and the proportion of the total investment in the whole movie is too high! Is that going to make a movie? Or watching an actor?"
After Wang Meng said this, everyone, including Feng Xiaogang, felt that it was indeed the case.
At present, China pays too much attention to major casts. To put it simply, the total investment of a movie is RMB 100 million. Sometimes actors alone account for more than 50 million?
You said, what good plot can such a movie have and what excellent production background can it have? It is purely to find popular actors to show off. It is a method for individual "brainless fans".
This is just to use an example. After all, the production cost of 100 million yuan is currently a blockbuster in China.
If you think it is a movie with an investment of 10 million yuan, the actors' pay will account for 6 million yuan. Just think about it and you will know.
Such a crew can only focus on one aspect. Which aspect? I personally feel that the leading actors do not require acting skills, as long as they are handsome and cool, this can satisfy the preferences of a brainless person.
As for the plot being a little more tactful and well-made, it won’t work unless you invest more.
Otherwise? Your investment cannot be so-called excellent, because there is not enough money.
All of the above...
Remember! Isn’t it bad to say that big casts are bad, and it’s bad to find popular actors?
Not!
Instead, people cannot be too shameless. You can find famous actors and several famous actors? But you also need to add additional funds! You must also make excellent productions!
For example, if an actor earns 6 million of 10 million, you can invest 20 million. In this way, popular actors have also received excellent production funds.
You can even try it a few more times when you have sufficient funds to find the best plot direction and shooting method.
The best one I think is definitely better than the plot that I dare not shoot more and just ask for one to be OK!
Of course, this premise is? Just Wang Meng knows it himself. He will not be idle and care about others, and you can’t?
They are not stupid, why do you know that this is not easy to do so?
The most important reason is the brainless fans.
Fuck, they are watching idols when watching TV or movies. As for your plot, don’t care. As long as the idol performs well, it’s fine.
Even if the idol is as handsome as it is, nothing else matters!
So, sometimes, don’t complain that Chinese directors are stupid! In fact, there is no stupid one. Can fool be a director? If you want to blame, blame some stupid ones.
Because there are always brainless people who stand up to protect their idol, no matter what the reason or how good or bad the performance is!
It is these very immature brainlessness that leads to the direction of TV series and other things? Because many directors have seen someone support, and even if you scold them again, they will still be the same as before!
Like novels, they say that they are crazy and bloody and not good-looking, and they are too speechless. In fact, such novels have good grades. Of course, they are not absolute. They can only say that the proportion of books with good grades accounts for a large proportion!
...
Taking the selected list, Wang Meng and Feng Xiaogang came to the actors' lounge, and assistant Lu Jieshu gathered all the actors who came to the audition this time.
There are many kinds of people, including Chinese, white, black, and all kinds of people.
I have to say that DreamWorks' powerful influence is something that ordinary companies dare not imagine.
"Thank you very much for everyone's arrival. Each of you is outstanding. After careful consideration, we selected a list of participants. Thank you again for your support." Wang Meng, as a producer and producer, and even as an associate director and special effects director, took the lead in expressing his opinion.
After Wang Meng said that, everyone was stunned.
"God, did you choose it once? So soon, I heard that Wang has never been like this. There is no such thing as choosing many times and not being able to decide on actors. I didn't expect it to be true." A Hollywood actor said.
"Indeed, Wang has always been like this. The world knows that he never looks at fame when choosing an actor, but only whether it is suitable or not. I have heard many actors who have worked with him say this. Maybe...! Maybe this is what makes him unique!" one person replied.
"I hope I can be selected, I like DreamWorks movies."
"Who is not!"
...
"I don't know if it's me, don't let me down! I know you are always maverick and never care about anything? This is how Scarlett and Michael are. When many people are not optimistic about them, you choose to believe it. I hope that when everyone doesn't believe me, you will believe me as well." Kirsten muttered in his heart.
"Ahem!"
Feng Xiaogang said, "That's right, the first choice of the male lead, our Spider-Man, is played by Huang Xiaoming, who was booked earlier."
After Feng Xiaogang finished speaking, the leader, who was still a little nervous, hurriedly stood up.
"Thank you, Director Wang, thank you for your support." The leader is very lucky.
Like Hu Bing, he is now called Lucky. Since the media announced that he was the starring actor half a month ago, this has been called this by the media.
He felt what Hu Bing felt.
With the same mood as Hu Bing, he also hopes that he, as a lucky man, can be his life.
