963 twists and turns
When Renly mentioned the symbolic meaning of women, Alfonso laughed happily. The satisfaction and relief between his brows could not be concealed at all, nor did he want to conceal it. The pure joy and happiness were then expressed freely. own joy.
“Renly, I'm serious, you are the perfect choice for this movie. I can't think of a more suitable choice. I haven't even described the details of the script, nor the specific information of the character. In just a few words, your Understand and realize, this has resonated with my idea.”
He was so excited that Alfonso couldn't help but hold his head in his hands, like a child who just got a lollipop, "God, I finally found you. Please, please, please star in this work, all my love" All my hopes are pinned on you.”
Uh... Inadvertently, did Renly show off for once?？
Renly's hand movements paused for a moment, looking at Alfonso dancing in front of him, and tried to defend himself, but found that he had no way to defend himself, not to mention that there was no need to defend, so he simply let it go, "Then, you should look for She's an actress, why did she find me in the end?？”
Only then did Alfonso realize that Renly had not agreed to play the role; now, he was still trying to convince Renly, so he had to cheer up, otherwise, he might miss this impeccable actor..
“Yes, your words are correct. We have been considering choosing an actress to perform. This should be a more appropriate decision. From the perspective of the image of the shot and the profound meaning of the composition, women undoubtedly have the advantage." Ah. Fang Suo nodded in affirmation, "But the problem is that this role is too difficult to perform..”
“It is no exaggeration to say that all the lighting, all the special effects, all the shots, and all the production of the entire movie must be presented by this one actor. Without outstanding performances, everything is meaningless." Alfonso pondered. After a moment, he thought about it seriously, and then continued:.
“This is not just an absolute secret room, where all moods and emotions will be amplified to the extreme; at the same time, in terms of text language, we have been subtracting and trying to avoid preaching as much as possible, but it seems redundant, so the lens language needs to be added. , capturing every detail of the actor's performance, even just a blink of an eye. Here's the problem！”
As a director, Alfonso is not known for his directing skills. His strengths lie in camera scheduling, atmosphere creation and picture language. However, this does not mean that he has no say in the performance. It is precisely because of his harshness in atmosphere creation. requirements, so every detail in the picture must be strict, including the performance.
“It’s too easy to add, and it’s also easy to be artificial. It would be a complete disaster for the minimalism of the entire movie. Therefore, Hollywood’s choices are really not many..
In fact, on the recommendation of Warner Bros., I have interviewed more than a dozen actors. Either they are not satisfied with me, think the script is too weak, or think the commercial potential of the work is not enough; or I am not satisfied with them. , the performance still failed to impress me after all..”
“Warner Bros.? "Renly's focus is off. "Gravity" is financed by Warner Bros., that's for sure; but why does Warner Bros. appear in their conversation?？
“Yes." Alfonso nodded in affirmation, "Warner Brothers recommended you in the beginning, and I heard your name for the first time. Later, I asked a few friends and came up with an idea. However, after Before giving a reply and before officially auditioning, I wanted to see it with my own eyes. As you said, I was considering an actress, and then I changed to a male actor. I needed to do more homework, so I came to London..”
Renly's eyebrows slightly raised, it was actually Warner Bros. who recommended him. Does this mean that the internal preview of the full version of "Edge of Tomorrow" was well received?？
In addition, Alfonso had never heard of Renly before. He was indeed a real technical geek. However, instead of being angry, Renly was a little happy, because this meant that Alfonso's affirmation and invitation were more pure—— This is another affirmation for the performance of the Almeida Theater.
“Actresses." After Renly changed the topic, he came back, "Which actresses did you audition for?？”
If it were another director, he would probably have skipped it. It’s none of Renly’s business anyway. Shouldn’t the focus of the conversation now be on Renly?？
But Alfonso answered honestly, "Angelina Jolie, Rachel Weisz, Carey Mulligan, Marion Cotillard, Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Porter Mann, Felicity Jones, Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts……”
Now, Renly can confirm that "Gravity" is definitely the work of Warner Bros..
Every actress is worthy of attention. Except for Felicity Jones, who is slightly inferior and only rose to fame with "Crazy Love", the other actors have great backgrounds. The youngest Carey Mulligan also appeared in 2009 Received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress in 2008 for "A Education".
Not only that, Alfonso also added, "I originally thought Natalie was the most suitable, but she refused." He shrugged vigorously, expressing his regret and regret..
“What about Sandra Bullock? I think she is a very suitable choice." Renly made the recommendation according to the situation. He didn't hear Sandra's name, which was unexpected, but also reasonable..
This time, Alfonso did not answer immediately, but looked at Renly seriously. He hesitated to speak, endured and endured, but finally could not hold back, "Renly, do you really not want to star in this film?" Works? If that's the case, please forgive me for being rude." Having said that, Alfonso's eyes were full of urgency and pleading, fearing that Renly would nod and admit..
Renly was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that his actions and words had indeed caused such a misunderstanding. He couldn't help but burst out laughing, "I'm sorry.……”
Renly was about to express his rudeness and give some reasons; unexpectedly, Alfonso couldn't wait to interrupt Renly's words and said quickly, "Sandra, we have asked her." Alfonso Looking directly into Renly's eyes, she expressed her sincerity and concentration, "But unfortunately, she has already signed a contract with the crew of 'The Big Dreamer', and there is no time for the following schedules."！”
Question mark, question mark, question mark.
Such an answer was definitely something Renly had not expected, and now his head was filled with questions..
“"Big Dream" is the first film in film history to showcase the story of Walter Disney, both as the protagonist and in a supporting role.
The movie tells the story of how it took Walt Disney twenty years to convince author PL Travers to hand over the film adaptation rights to "Mary Poppins" to Disney.
In the previous life, this movie was also released in 2013. It was a highlight during the awards season. The director was John-Lee-Hancock (John-Lee-Hancock), the male protagonist was Tom Hanks, and the female protagonist It’s Emma Thompson.
The film had good momentum at the beginning of the awards season and was highly recognized at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards; but unfortunately, its momentum declined later and it only received one nomination for Best Original Score at the Oscars..
Now, Sandra Bullock has replaced Emma Thompson as the heroine of "Big Dreamer", which means that history has changed again. So, what about Emma? Has she quit the project altogether, or does she have other acting plans? Will "Big Dreamer" starring Sandra make a difference in this awards season?？
Objectively speaking, it’s not surprising that Sandra joined the “Big Dreamers”.
Because John Lee Hancock is the director of "Weakness", who personally sent Sandra to the Oscar-winning actress; now Sandra reciprocates, which is completely expected, not to mention, "Big Dream" The leading actor of "Home" is still Tom Hanks, a perfect film template for the awards season.
But what really arouses Renly's question is, is this the butterfly effect? Has the chain reaction after rebirth finally begun to show its power after a long period of brewing and settling?？
First, the entire cast of "Edge of Tomorrow" was completely transformed, inside and out; then at this year's Oscars, Martin Scorsese successfully won his second Oscar for Best Director; and now Casting changes have also occurred for other film projects.
Not only have things closely related to Renly changed, but also in other unrelated corners, changes have also appeared bit by bit. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Also, as of 2017, will the future blueprint that Renly knows about have undergone earth-shaking changes?？
However, no one can answer. Even Renly himself can only cross the river by feeling the stones. There are more and more unknowns, and life is becoming more and more exciting. After the panic and confusion, Renly began to enjoy this changes.
“It is precisely because of this that Warner Bros. recommended you." Alfonso was completely unaware of the turmoil in Renly's mind, and continued, "Actually, at the very beginning of the preparation of this project, we set the male protagonist.”
“Protagonist? "Renly raised his eyebrows in surprise. This was something he didn't know..
“Ryan-Stone, this is the name of the protagonist." Alfonso said with certainty..
In the United States, Ryan is a relatively masculine name. Although many women have begun to call this name, overall, it is still a relatively masculine name. Not to mention the surname "Stone", you can tell , Alfonso may have just picked it up casually, choosing a tough name based on the male character..
Alfonso then added, "Robert Downey Jr. was our first choice, but... we couldn't make it in the end. After much back and forth, we chose the actress, and in the end, we were back to where we started..”
Before Renly could express his opinion, Alfonso said urgently again, "After watching the performance of 'Les Miserables', I realized that you are the most suitable choice. No one can be more suitable than you. As long as you are willing If you nod and agree to appear, the crew can wait at any time until your schedule is suitable before we start filming. I believe Warner Brothers will also have no objection.！”
