Chapter 110: Wronged
110
After discussing her role, Katharine Hepburn looked at John and suddenly asked, "John, who did you find in the supporting role?"
The reason why Katharine Hepburn pays attention to supporting roles is because supporting roles are also important in a movie, if the protagonist is the skeleton of a movie, then the supporting role is flesh and blood. Whether it's a live-action movie or an animated film, you won't be able to watch a film without a supporting role, because you don't watch a double reed. And a good supporting role can not only polish the film, but also enrich the layering of the movie.
"I'm going to have Nicolas Cage play Lieutenant Deng Taylor in the play, Will Smith in Bubba Blue in the play, and Grandma Audrey Hepburn in Forrest Gump's mother ....... John knew that Katharine Hepburn wanted to check for himself, so he hurriedly told some actors who played important supporting roles.
And Katharine Hepburn heard Audrey Hepburn's name and looked at John in surprise. "My little daughter will come too?"
"Yes, I'm going to Switzerland to ask Grandma Audrey Hepburn!" John smiled and nodded.
"Great!" Katharine Hepburn thought John's approach was fantastic, she and Audrey Hepburn had been friends for decades and had never acted in a movie together.
Katharine Hepburn smiled and smiled, and her face suddenly changed. "John, although your grandmother Audrey is more than ten years younger than me, but now she is also in her 60s, and the role of Forrest Gump's mother in the play needs to be played at different ages from 30 to 60, how can she play such a young role?"
John has a solution to this problem. "Grandma Catherine, don't worry about this, when the time comes, you can change a little bit through makeup, and ask Industrial Light and Magic to carry out post-image processing, you can restore Grandma Audrey to her youth. ”
In the early 90s, to restore a person to a young age, this technology seems simple, but in fact it is very difficult, it needs to collect face data first, and then through professional image processing software, frame by frame comparison restoration. It took the technical team a month to process every minute of image in a movie.
But it is not enough to just face processing, but also need to carry out body processing, you must know that there is a difference between the age of 30 and the age of 60 years old, so you also need to use motion capture technology to restore the different body movements of Audrey Hepburn at different ages.
But fortunately, motion capture technology has emerged, and in 1990, Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Total Recall" used this technology for the first time.
So in Hollywood, as long as you are willing to burn money, there is nothing you can't do, let alone make people younger, even if you come back from the dead, isn't Paul in "Fast and Furious 7" burned with money?
And Katharine Hepburn on the side was not worried when she heard that John could make Audrey Hepburn younger. "It's great that I can finally work on a movie with my little daughter!"
John nodded. "Yes, this will be your first collaboration on screen!" and ......," John said with a mysterious smile. "I'm also going to invite three of your old friends to make cameos. ”
"Oh!" Katharine Hepburn was surprised. "Who else are you going to invite?"
"I'm going to invite James Stewart to play the old man who accompanies you in the play to listen to Forrest Gump's story. ”
James Stewart, the third greatest actor of the century, has starred in many classic movies and is also the highest-ranking actor in Hollywood.
"I don't know if this old man can still move, I haven't seen him for a long time. Katharine Hepburn laughed and said that James Stewart was only a year younger than her. "What about the other two?"
"I'm going to invite Marlon Brando to play the doctor who braces Forrest Gump in the play. ”
"Oh my God!" John's words had just fallen, and Sophia exclaimed. "John, I advise you to dismiss this thought, or you'll have a headache. Sophia felt that if John dared to use the man who could drive his father almost crazy in "Apocalypse Now", he would definitely not have a good time.
Katharine Hepburn smiled when she heard Sophia's words, Marlon Brando's character is destined to be loved and hated, so the reputation is naturally not good.
"Sophia, don't worry, Marlon Brando is sometimes crazy, but he will definitely be very sober when he appears in John's movies. Katharine Hepburn affirmed. Marlon Brando, though unruly, is also aimed at people.
"Alright!" Sophia nodded. But there is still a trace of doubt in my heart. His own father couldn't handle it, so how could John submit Marlon Brando.
John didn't care what Sophia was thinking, but continued to say the last palace-level actor. "I'm going to ask Gregory Peck to play the role of the school's principal. ”
"Oh my God!" exclaimed this time not Sophia, but Katharine Hepburn.
"John, you're bad at learning. Katharine Hepburn pointed playfully at John.
"I'm bad!" John looked at Katharine Hepburn inexplicably. "Where do you start?"
"Don't tell me, John, you don't know about the affair between Gregory Peck and your Grandma Audrey!" said Katharine Hepburn, looking at John.
"I know!" John nodded. The scandal between Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn was known in China in his last life, and the two of them were still talked about many years from acting in "Roman Holiday" to their deaths. But through John's understanding in this life, Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn were not like that at all.
"Now that you know, why did you put Gregory Peck in the role of principal? Katharine Hepburn looked at John with a look that I understood.
And John heard Katharine Hepburn's words and shouted injustice, he never wanted to use the scandal between the two to hype. "Grandma Catherine! The reason I wanted Gregory Peck to play the role of Headmaster was because the two of them hadn't worked together since Roman Holiday, so I wanted to provide an opportunity for them to play against each other again. But now that I think about the scandal, then I won't invite Gregory Peck and play a new actor. ”
"Don't, don't!" Katharine Hepburn hurriedly waved her hand. "It wouldn't be fun without Gregory Peck! I'm waiting to see how the Golden Boy and Girl pair work together again. ”
When John heard Katharine Hepburn's words, he quickly shook his head: "This matter is still decided after going to Switzerland to consult Grandma Audrey!" John knew that Katharine Hepburn's playfulness was up again.
"Hurry up and go to Switzerland to ask for Audrey Hepburn, and as for James Stewart and Marlon Brando, I'll invite you. Katharine Hepburn wanted to know the outcome quickly, so she started to pack it for John.
And John was also happy to take it easy, so he also handed these things over to Katharine Hepburn.
