675 partner candidates
The first name on the list is Emily Blunt.
After Paul said the name of "Edge of Tomorrow" and saw that the first candidate for the heroine was Emily Blunt, Lan Li couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Now it seems that his little butterfly is still not powerful enough, and the flapping wings are not enough to affect the whole world, at least the influence of wavelength is not so fast.
As a British actress, Emily rose to fame in 2006 for "The Queen Wears Prada", in which she played Meryl Streep's first assistant, while Anne Hathaway played the second assistant who came in later. Judging purely from the characters in the movie, Emily seems to have been working for many years, and Anne is a recent college graduate, but in fact, in real life, Anne is a year older than Emily.
Emily was born in 1983 and is only twenty-eight years old this year, younger than many people think. Later, most of Emily's roles were mature, intellectual, and wise, and the male actors in her partner were relatively old, so Lan Li's first reaction was, isn't Emily over thirty years old?
But objectively speaking, Emily's youth is just within the range, and her temperament is tough and heroic, with the characteristics of a heroine, and her acting skills are solid, so she is indeed a suitable candidate.
The second name on the list is Jennifer Lawrence.
After coming to prominence with "Winter's Bones", Jennifer's Hollywood rise suddenly became smooth, and from a certain point of view, her upward momentum was even stronger than Lan Li, first "X-Men: First Fight", and then "The Hunger Games", among the new generation of actors, she is unbeatable.
Jennifer's appearance is not the pretty or glamorous type, but she has a pair of good-looking eyes and tenacity between her eyebrows, which gives the performance a unique temperament. Whether it's "Winter's Bones", "X-Men", or "The Hunger Games", which really made her popular among teenagers, Jennifer's female characters all share the same traits: soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and uncompromising tenacity in the face of extreme difficulties and even desperate situations.
All this makes Jennifer one of the best choices for Rita. What's more, Jennifer is the closest to Lan Li among the younger generation, she is only one year younger than Lan Li.
To be honest, whether it is Emily or Jennifer, it can be said that it is unexpected, but it is reasonable.
It is reasonable to say that it is because the two actors are very suitable for the crew's requirements for Rita in terms of temperament, style, age and other conditions.
said that it was unexpected, that is because the media is generally not optimistic about the project of "Killing Theory Or", that is, "Edge of Tomorrow", these two actors are not lacking in choice, they can be on the list, Lan Li seems to think that it should be Andy's credit, maybe both of them are artists from innovative artist agencies, then everything is logical.
In addition to these two candidates, the third name is still the unexpected and reasonable Margot-Robbie.
In 2017, when it comes to Margotte, it is estimated that everyone knows that a "Suicide Squad" Harley Quinn made her famous all over the world, stealing countless attention, and at the same time, she also performed well in works such as "Tarzan Returns: Dangerous Jungle", "Big Short", "Focus", etc., and the actors are at the level of Will Smith and Christian Bale.
But at the moment in 2011, Margot is a complete nobody. The TV series "Pan American Journey", which just started in September, is the first official work of Margot's career. The ratings of the series were average, and it was cut after one season, but this series succeeded in letting the public see the young and beautiful Margot.
After that, she starred in the famous "The Wolf of Wall Street", teamed up with Martin Scorsese, played against Leonardo DiCaprio, and then began her Hollywood journey.
Objectively speaking, Margot's appearance style is sweet, and the gothic sexuality/sensuality is undoubtedly the most suitable for her. Her overall feeling wasn't quite for Rita, at least Lan Li couldn't imagine Margot rolling in the dirt and then getting up bloodied to continue the fight.
However, Lan Li is not a casting director, Lucinda is, and she must have seen a certain quality in Margot. Not only did Margot put it on this list, but she also put it high in third place in the present, this is a nobody that no one knows.
By the way, Margot and Jennifer are the same age.
In addition to this, there are three people on the list, Gal Gadot, Jessica-Biel, and Teresa Palmer.
Needless to say, the familiar Gail is only twenty-six years old this year, and in addition to the "Fast & Furious/Emotional" series, she has also starred in "Dangerous Spy War" starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, and can be said to be an emerging martial arts actress.
Jessica is twenty-eight years old this year, and she doesn't have many masterpieces, and she is later known for marrying and having children with Justin Timberlake, but her works include "Blade 3", "Top Secret Flight", "Total Memories" and so on.
Born in 1986, Talisa has always been tepid, she starred in the "Key No. 4" this year, making her debut on stage with her agile and vigorous skills, but later because of the limitations of the play, she gradually played the role of the vase heroine, including "Warm Corpse", "Hacksaw Ridge", "Extreme Thief" and so on.
Overall, the age of actresses in Hollywood has been declining, while the age of male actors has been relatively high. But action movies are gradually declining, not to mention actresses, even action actors with pure blood such as Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel, and Jason Statham have encountered serious obstacles to their career development, and it is becoming more and more difficult to "play" in genre movies.
It's not about age, it's about the overall lack of action actresses of all ages.
It's really not easy to find an actress who can play with Lan Li, and Lucinda was able to pick out six, and all of them were actors whose names Lan Li had heard of, which can be said to be an eye-opener.
But taking a step back, even if "Edge of Tomorrow" is no longer taken seriously, this is also a commercial blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million, and any new actress can play it, which is a rare opportunity. What's more, as "America Weekly" said, the joining of Lanli is also worth paying attention to.
Andy mentioned before that he would make a list of feasible actors based on the script, and then give it to Warner Bros. in a packaged way, hoping to reach a cooperation. However, there is a difference between the so-called packaging cooperation.
One is forced cooperation, for example, a project requires Ben Stiller to star, and the agency requires that Jerry Stiller (Jerry-Stiller) must play, even if it is only a small role Jerry is Ben's father, and the film company either accepts or rejects, there is no other choice. This applies to relatives and friends, or to the promotion of new people by an agency.
One is to join forces and admit the best of the best. For example, in "Night at the Museum 2", the agency has built a cast around Ben Stiller, Oen-Ilson, Amy Adams, Bill-Hader, Ed-Helms, etc., each character is carefully selected, accurately aligned, and pitted one turnip. Depending on their own circumstances, film companies can agree to certain castings and deny others. This applies to specific projects where the agency is fully working with the studio, or for a top-notch project like Tom Cruise.
In the case of Lan Li, it can be regarded as the latter. Andy lists the list, and Warner Bros. is free to choose. In this list in hand, how many of them were recommended by Andy and how many were not, it is unknown.
Raising his head, Lan Li saw Lucinda's scorching gaze, which made him smile dumbly, "How is it, what do you think?" asked Lucinda curiously.
"Paul Walker. Lan Li opened his mouth and said, saying his full name, distinguishing himself from Paul Greengrass next to him, and he wanted to ask if Paul was on the waiting list.
However, without waiting for Lan Li's later words to come out, Lucinda cut it off directly and pointed down, "He's on the waiting list, but which member of Team J will play has not yet been decided." "Do you have any particular ideas for the heroines, and you know that they're going to play opposite you, and the chemistry between you is crucial. ”
In the face of Lucinda's questioning, Lan Li did not mess up, but looked at Lucinda seriously, looked at it carefully, and the smile on the corner of her mouth rose slightly, "Why do I think you have something to say, are you hinting at something? Or did I hear it wrong?"
Lucinda didn't deny it, but said, "So, do you have any thoughts in your heart?" The suggestive look was already very revealing, but she was still worried that Lan Li would avoid answering, and added again, "Jennifer Lawrence, Gal Gadot." Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows, seeing Lan Li's helpless smile, Lu Sinda didn't mind, spread her hands, and expressed her calmness, "There is no way, this is a question that everyone is curious about." ”
Lucinda's words made Tim and Paul look up, and she met the two of them's eyes, "Honestly, if I had to choose, There's a ruthlessness in There's a ruthlessness in There's a lot of Tim Palmer's performance, and she's sweet enough to be a unique actor similar to Kate-Beckinsale, and Blue Rite can also burst into a spark." ”
But. Everyone knows that there is a twist to come. This turning point came immediately after that.
However, Jennifer and Gail's names can't be missed. Lucinda shrugged her shoulders and said innocently, "You've worked with them, and you've had a lot of sparks......
"Wait, I'm not playing against Gail. Lan Li tried to correct herself, but before she could speak, she closed her eyes and realized that she had fallen into a trap.
Sure enough, Lucinda clapped her hands, "It's because there is no head-on rivalry that the audience is looking forward to it more!" Lucinda's eyes flashed with pride, and she looked at Tim and Paul again, "Don't you look forward to it?"
