385 [Princess Leia, the Chosen One]
In the hotel room, the screenwriters and several prop masters sent by George Lucas and Fox were discussing with Huo Yaowen some space battleships that appeared in the script, as well as some high-tech that far exceeded this era.
"Lucas, here are some of the drawings I drew yesterday, they may be a little rudimentary, and you can get someone to fix them when the time comes. ”
Huo Yaowen took out some of the drawings he drew last night about the spaceships and space capsules that appeared in the sci-fi blockbusters he had seen in later generations.
After receiving more than a dozen scattered drawings, George Lucas looked at them one by one, as Huo Yaowen said, the paintings were really simple enough, only rough lines, and he could vaguely see that the appearance was a fantasy spaceship.
The whole is rectangular in shape, and there are specially marked hatches, entrance hatches, weapons, and so on.
Since no one knew what the spaceship really looked like, George Lucas just glanced at the spaceship in his hand a few times and handed it to the prop master next to him to look at it for some inspiration.
Looking at them one by one, suddenly George Lucas picked up a drawing, pointed to the pattern on it and asked, "What is this?"
"It's a mobile communication device, I call it a mobile phone, there's a word in it. Huo Yaowen glanced at it and said casually.
"This is the phone mentioned in the book?"
George Lucas looked at it a few more times curiously, and I have to say that the appearance of this phone is really weird, boxy like a miniature version of a brick, and there is no dial button, so how is this dialing?
"This is the mobile device of the future that I envision. ”
Huo Yaowen seemed to see Lucas's doubts, and explained with a smile: "You can understand it as a TV for the time being. ”
"TV?"
"That's right, the TV set is countless times smaller, in front of it is a screen similar to a TV, if you touch this screen lightly, then it will appear a screen, there are countless patterns on it, if you want to make a call, just press the pattern of the phone, and then the number 0-9 will appear, just dial the number. ”
He definitely didn't understand what it was to touch a smartphone with George Lucas, so Huo Yaowen used the simplest and most straightforward words to tell the other party how to call others on this mobile phone without buttons.
"That's right!"
Lucas suddenly realized, although he still hasn't figured out why he can touch this screen to appear and make calls, but this does not prevent him from understanding the operation function of this "mobile phone", after all, it is a fantasy of future technology, and it is not surprising that it is a little strange.
Remembering the plot of the mobile phone that appeared in the book, Lucas asked, "Mr. Evan, does this mobile phone still have the function of being able to make video calls with people?"
Huo Yaowen nodded and said: "Of course, in my opinion, it can not only make video calls, but also listen to music and watch movies, in the future world I imagine, mobile phones can replace radios, televisions, telephones, gramophones and other functions." ”
Lucas shrugged, "Well, I'm not looking forward to the future world that you call Mr. Evan, a telephone that can be carried around can have so many functions, I don't think people will go into the cinema and watch movies again." ”
Huo Yaowen didn't expect George Lucas to think so much, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, you don't have to worry about this, I think the cinema will still exist in the future, at least the screen of the cinema is big enough." ”
……
In the blink of an eye, four or five days passed.
Huo Yaowen has been in the United States for almost half a month now, and although he often sends telegrams to his family and Anna, he decided to leave for the day after tomorrow.
During this time, George Lucas got a lot of information from Huo Yaowen that was not mentioned in 1999", and he is discussing the casting and filming places with the crew at the moment.
On June 12th, he officially released the news that he was about to start filming a new movie 1999", and for a while, in addition to those book lovers, the most boiling should belong to the American entertainment industry.
They scrambled to start buying the original 1999 Trilogy, trying to be able to lock in some good characters first.
After watching the trilogy, when they found that the most brilliant human character was not the usual male protagonist, but the female protagonist, it caused cheers from Hollywood actresses.
Twentieth Century Fox, as a well-known American film company, has experienced the fiasco of "Cleopatra" before, but no matter what, it has made Elizabeth Taylor famous all over the world.
Therefore, the sci-fi masterpiece 1999, which Fox invested as much as $40 million, is another movie with the most outstanding heroines, and it has suddenly become the target of competition among the entire American actresses.
There are hundreds of resumes submitted to Lucas alone, which can be said to have captured most of Hollywood's actresses at this time.
At first, Lucas was very happy to see so many people submitting resumes, after all, there are so many options. But once there were too many candidates, Lucas was very distressed, and he always felt that the next one was better than the previous one, so he had no choice but to turn to Huo Yaowen for help.
Lucas's request is a little embarrassing Huo Yaowen, he doesn't know much about the well-known Hollywood actresses in the United States from the 6th to the 70s, Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor are the two actresses he is more familiar with, and the rest of the people are not even familiar with their faces, where will they remember their names?
"I said Lucas before, I don't know much about Hollywood actresses, only Hepburn from the Roman diary and Taylor from Cleopatra. ”
Huo Yaowen glanced at the pile of resumes on the table and looked at George Lucas helplessly.
"I know, Mr. Evan, I just want you to help me choose someone you think is a good fit for the heroine. George Lucas said helplessly.
"Do you have a candidate?"
"There are two. ”
Lucas looked for it in his resume, took out two copies, and handed them to Huo Yaowen and said: "Catherine Deneuve, a flower in France, was excavated by Fox in 69 and went to Hollywood and made four or five movies. ”
After taking the resume, Huo Yaowen did not look at the cumbersome text, but looked directly at the photo.
Blonde hair and blue eyes, deep eye sockets, typical European and American characteristics, although a little old-looking, but overall quite good.
Immediately, he picked up another resume, and Lucas on the other side continued: "This is Kelly Fisher, only seventeen years old this year, has been performing on Broadway for two years, although I have never made a movie, I like her eyes very much, and it fits the heroine in my mind." ”
Kelly Fisher?
Looking at the girl in the photo, Huo Yaowen looked at Lucas with a strange expression, isn't this the Princess Leia in Star Wars?
Four years in advance, and not filming Star Wars", this Mr. Lucas has found the actor of this Princess Leia again, is there really any historical correction?
Traveling through the guest Huo Yaowen vs. Princess Leia, the chosen son?
Well, this is actually Huo Yaowen thinking too much, no one knows whether the correction of history is corrected, but George Lucas chose the Star Wars heroine Kelly Fisher again, not exactly as he said, he likes the other party's eyes, which is very in line with the appearance of the heroine in his heart.
In fact, it is because Kelly Fisher's father is the famous American singer Eddie Fisher in the early years, and the old Fisher has a very famous ex-wife Elizabeth Taylor, and under the layers of relationships, Lucas will choose her again
