Chapter 599: Black Utopia

Two hours later, the movie ends.

Don looked at Jack Nicholson with a smile and asked, "How's it going?"

"Not bad. ”

"What's good?"

"The rhythm, the story, the plot, the twists, the performances...... Everything is good, Oscar-nominated standard. ”

After watching "Gone Girl", Jack Nicholson gave a high evaluation.

Donn said with a smile: "David Fincher has directed movies like "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "Fight Club", but the level is not high. ”

Jack Nicholson gave him a deep look, "If I'm not mistaken, Fight Club lost so badly that Bill McNick was even fired by Fox because of it. ”

Don waved his hand, "Don't worry, this movie won't! My vision has always been very accurate, and I said that if this movie can be a big hit, the box office will not be less than 400 million US dollars, just as I am optimistic about "The Departed". ”

Jack Nicholson smiled dumbly, shook his head, and said, "Don, you have to understand, I'm not deliberately rejecting you. In fact, any actor would expect to work with a director like Martin. However, I can't take on the villain role anymore. ”

"Not really, right?"

Tang Enqing clearly remembered that in the original version of "The Departed", Jack Nicholson played the villain "Frank Castro", and his acting skills were explosive and well received.

Jack Nicholson explains: "I've played too many villains, especially Pirate League: The Curse of the Black Pearl, and the audience for this movie is so large that fans think I'm the evil Captain Barbossa, and it's going to imprison my acting path. ”

Don's face tightened, stunned.

No way?

Jack Nicholson doesn't want to play the villain in The Departed, or is it his reason?

As the producer of "The Departed," Donn had the responsibility to bring in the actors he needed for director Martin Scorsese.

With Donne's current status and status in Hollywood, if he spends a lot of time talking and stalking, it is estimated that Jack Nicholson will have to give him face and accept this villain.

But, as Jack Nicholson said, this is likely to affect his acting career.

As everyone knows, after Anthony Hopkins played a few "Hannibal", he played a good guy again, and the whole role couldn't stand, and he insulated the Oscar from then on.

Don doesn't want to limit an actor's career development because of a role.

What's more, a veteran actor like Jack Nicholson?

It's good to gather and disperse.

Donn didn't embarrass Jack Nicholson anymore, and after sending him away, he invited Martin Scorsese to the president's office at Universal Pictures.

"If it really doesn't work, let's change people. Hollywood actors, as long as you say it, I'll invite you all!"

Don was helpless.

Martin Scorsese can also understand, "Jack is my first choice, and if he doesn't like the role, I need an actor who is as good as him." ”

"Oh?" said Donn, quick, "Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, or Robert Droney?"

Martin Scorsese smiled slightly, "Al Pacino!"

Donn wondered, "I thought it was Robert DeRonnie." ”

Before Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert DeRoney was Martin Scorsese's queen actor and co-created "Taxi Driver", "New York, New York", "Raging Bull", "King of Comedy", "Goodfellas", "Cape Terror", "Las Vegas" and many other films.

Martin Scorsese said helplessly: "When I first filmed "Terror Corner", he said that it was the last time he played a villain in my movie. ”

"It seems that the villain is really unpopular. Donn shrugged, "Then Al Pacino, I haven't worked with him yet, I hope to get a spark." ”

, who is known as the actor who is the best at acting with his eyes, Tang Enshen has been friends for a long time.

"By the way, who does the heroine choose?"

Don was concerned about that.

In the movie, the heroine is his girlfriend...... Ahem, also Leonardo's lover.

Martin Scorsese said: "My original plan was to be Kate Winslet. ”

"She's good!" "As soon as Tang En's words came out, he slapped his head, "She's pregnant, and she won't be able to act in the next year." ”

"yes, you have to choose again. ”

Don muttered, "Or...... What about Rachel Weisz? Or Catherine Zeta-Jones? They're absolutely fine. ”

The heroine in "The Departed" is a psychiatrist, which is destined not to choose too young girls, otherwise Don will definitely push Scarlett or Natalie up.

Martin Scorsese immediately shook his head, "No, both of them are too beautiful to fit the overall structure of the movie." ”

"Too pretty?" Donn was a little surprised.

Martin Scorsese said: "What I want is a hell that is rotten and dirty, full of lust, full of sin, but forever full of life, which is a violent 'black utopia'." In this world, the soul is black, how can there be such a beautiful woman?"

Don knew that he was a film sociologist and a master of the founding school of film, and he couldn't help laughing: "Beautiful women are not contradictory, it just happens to be in stark contrast to that kind of edge darkness." ”

"No!" Martin Scorsese shook his head firmly, "beautiful women will take the audience's attention, and I hope they will focus on the shadow of the times and the portrayal of society shown in the movie, rather than handsome men and beautiful women." ”

Don't his eyes widen, "Doesn't that mean that Leon and I have to make up and look ugly?"

"Leon needs to be ugly, you don't. ”

"Why?"

Martin Scorsese stared at his face for a moment and shook his head, "This kind of look, just right." ”

Tang En reacted at this time and almost vomited blood!

Are you saying I'm not as handsome as Leonardo's bastard?

Handsome has a fart, little white face!

……

In the original version of "Gone Girl", the author is far less well-known than Donn.

The film stars Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike, and is also far less well-known than Mel Gibson and Nicole Kidman in this version.

Even so, the original version of "Gone Girl", under the impact of films such as "Annabelle", "The Bad Day of Alexander the Bear Child", and "The First Year of Dracula", still got a good result of $369 million at the global box office.

Among them, the North American box office was $168 million, and the overseas box office was $201 million.

This version of "Gone Lover" has a better schedule, a stronger cast, and a higher reputation, and it's hard not to be popular!

On Wednesday, the North American box office was $8.75 million;

On Thursday, the North American box office was $6.48 million;

On Friday, the North American box office was $13.17 million;

On Saturday, the North American box office was $15.18 million;

On Sunday, the North American box office was $10.46 million.

The North American box office in the first week, $54 million!

directly refreshed the first-week box office record for Hollywood's R-rated films.

It's headed for $200 million in North America and $500 million globally.

"Donne, last weekend, ours sold another 460,000 copies in North America!"

Ella Fischer ran into Donn's office in a huff.

"Oh, yes? Good news. Tang En replied with a smile, but he really didn't care about this little thing, "How are the ratings of the last issue of "Tianqiao", how are the ratings?"

In the United States at the moment, which reality show is the hottest and hottest?

Without a doubt, it's ABC TV's "American Idol"!

But which reality show is the most acclaimed?

It's "Flyover" broadcast on Starz TV!

Since the show was launched in mid-March, it has immediately become a high-quality reality show respected by the media.

Unlike "American Idol", which is suitable for all ages, "Flyover" is not very entertaining, but it is more professional and novel in content, which is quite popular with the elite.

"Flyover" has been broadcast for three episodes, and STA's subscribers have increased by 790,000!

The broadcast effect is comparable to a high-quality American drama.

Counting the other reality show "Changing Face" ("Special Effects Makeup Artist Showdown"), which started in June, and the big-budget American drama "The Walking Dead", which aired in October......

Chris Albrecett, the head of the STA TV network, has even made a bold statement that he is confident that the number of subscribers of the STA TV network will exceed 20 million within this year!

Ella Fisher laughed, "Very good, "Flyover" is so popular. Universal TV and STA TV Network have received hundreds of letters from designers asking to participate in this show, and there are many beautiful models who want to join for free, and they can appear full/naked. ”

Don shook his head amusedly, "Let them deal with it!"

If you want to get out of the modeling industry, it is a hundred times more difficult than the film and television industry!

It's not that you can be popular if you have good looks and a good figure, but you also have characteristics, means, connections, and opportunities.

"I have a friend who is an Australian model and wants to be on the show as well. Ella Fisher looked at Don pitifully.

"Flyover?"

"Hmm. ”

"How's the condition?"

"Exceptional! I can assure you that she's no worse than Heidi Krum!"

Heidi Krum is the host and judge of "Flyover", and Victoria's Secret's top angel supermodel, with an annual income of more than $10 million, is the god of the modeling industry.

Ella Fisher's words in order to get her friend a chance are exaggerated.

Don didn't seem to be smiling, he didn't believe it at all.

Ella Fisher said urgently: "Really, don't underestimate people! She said, as long as you can get through the relationship, it doesn't matter who you need to go to in bed and what price you pay." ”

Tang En was stunned for a long time, both helpless and sighing.

The modeling circle is the kind of "black utopia" that Martin Scorsese said!

Don sighed and said, "Forget it, since it's your friend, you definitely want to help, you go and talk to Tosca, and let her arrange it herself." There is no chance this season, and the models have already been chosen. In the next season, a spot will be given to your friend. ”

"Next season? It's not next year, it's too late. "Ella Fisher was unhappy.

Tang En spread his hands and said: "I can't help it, "Flyover" started recording in February, and now it has started broadcasting 3 episodes, and it's too late to join." ”

"Didn't the Universal Model Contest just start in June?

"Universal Top Model Contest" is a reality show that Don En reimagined based on the plan of "American Top Model Contest", which began recording in early June, aired on NBC TV at the end of July, and completed the broadcast of the first season at the end of October.

Don was a little surprised, "Most of the people here are professional models, isn't it better than "Flyover", your friend, okay?"

"Don't look down on people! my friend is amazing!" said Ella Fisher, stomping her foot.

Don En waved his hand, "Forget it, since you insist, arrange for her to go to the "Universal Supermodel Competition", don't blame me for making a fool of herself." ”

Ella Fisher was very unwilling, and thought indignantly: "Hmph, when my friend becomes the champion model of the "Universal Supermodel Contest", look at you still look down on people!"
