Chapter 711: The Starring Cast Finalized [Three Watches]
The warm environment made people drowsy, Zhang Chu yawned several times, and his eyes were about to be opened.
With such a warm environment in winter, who wants to go out!
"Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, I'll order a takeout together." ”
Even though the cafeteria is very close to here, lazy patients with advanced cancer do not want to go out and withstand the cold wind.
Zhou Kang shook his head, "You can order takeout yourself, I'll go to the cafeteria to eat, and after eating, I'll go back to the company to pull people." Let some people get familiar with the campus and the environment of the lecture hall. ”
"Then it's hard for you, what about you, Manager Zhong?"
"We've been there in shifts before. ”
After Zhang Chu asked around, in the end, he was the only one who ordered a claypot rice with Sichuan-style sausage and Cantonese sausage, and it was estimated that only this one was still hot when it was delivered.
After ordering takeout, he sat in the innermost corner of the bookstore and looked at his mobile phone, as if he had missed a hot spot before!
"Uncle Zhou, don't leave yet. Disney has just officially announced! The behind-the-scenes lineup and heroines of "The Da Vinci Code". They didn't even notify me in advance, I'm also a nominal producer!"
Zhang Chu's dissatisfaction with Disney was quite serious, and he was also obstinate when selecting people and did not give him any chance to give feedback.
Now if you choose someone who is not popular with the audience, it will be really troublesome!
"It's announced so soon?" Zhou Kang was also confused, when he communicated with Disney Pictures a few days ago, the other party also said that he was under investigation.
It can be said that Disney is very fast!
It has only been less than a month since the announcement of the adaptation into a movie, and now the entire behind-the-scenes production team and the male and female protagonists have been selected.
Not only the Chinese entertainment industry, but the whole world is paying attention to Disney's casting, and whether to replace the Chinese professor with an American professor has become a key issue.
As an American company, Disney must want to take care of the North American market, and they have changed the yellow character to white more than once, and this time the masses have been calling for the same.
North American audiences don't want to see a so-called Chinese or Asian American in this role, and they list a whole bunch of different actors online.
But if Zhang Chu doesn't agree as a producer, these are all useless.
Don't look at what netizens are saying now, if the actors' backgrounds are really changed, they will pat their butts and leave, but the movie loses the support of the readers of the original book, the impact will obviously be greater!
The director is Ron Howard, a former Oscar-winning who won the Best Director Award in 2001 for his biopic "A Beautiful Mind" and has been nominated several times since. ”
This director belongs to the type of Hollywood Mesozoic directors who are steady and quiet, and his works have no personality, but they are the most suitable for the audience.
He is good at using the storyline and the inner portrayal of the characters to mobilize the emotions of the audience, making the old-fashioned plot show new ideas, and the works filmed are easy to understand, so they are loved by Hollywood manufacturers!
It is precisely because of his lack of personal style that he does not have as many fans as Nolan or Cameron.
But it was a clever move to let him shoot "The Da Vinci Code", and the director who knew how to tell the story was very suitable for this story.
Because of its popularity all over the world, the vast majority of readers actually already know the ending of the story, which is actually a story without suspense.
Therefore, Zhang Chu's planned movie should be faithful to the original book, not any additional adaptation, nor is it a suspense movie made into an adventure film like Raiders of the Lost Ark!
After all, the people who have seen it are a minority, and the audience of any film adapted by the film must be wider, and relying on readers alone cannot support the box office of a movie, and the feelings of passers-by must be considered.
No matter how popular "The Da Vinci Code" is, more than 10 million books have been sold all over the world, and it is a miracle that one-tenth of these book buyers can enter the cinema.
In the movie Zhang Chu saw in his last life, the two protagonists kept running wild in Europe, and they almost didn't stop for a moment in the two-hour movie, anyway, they ran wild until the end of the movie.
Therefore, in the script this time, Zhang Chu focuses on the thinking process of password deduction and cracking, combining the shell of the adventure story with the connotation of the reasoning story!
In this way, the history of the monastics, the history of Christianity, and the cracking of codes will not be replaced by a single sentence, which is the real fidelity to the original!
There are so many adventures and adventure movies, what really makes "The Da Vinci Code" popular is reasoning and suspense, if it weren't for the knowledge and things related to science that are properly blended into the story, it wouldn't be so popular.
He hopes that the movie can be very interesting and understandable to ordinary people!
Even if it focuses on suspense, it is impossible to make an extremely brain-burning movie, which only suspense film enthusiasts will watch.
Maybe the coffee position in the main creative lineup, that is, Ron Howard, is bigger, because the male and female protagonists are not Hollywood celebrities, let alone the first line, and even the eighteenth line may not be counted!
The heroine chose Sophie Marceau, the French rose, and in today's timeline, the actress is only twenty-eight years old and in her prime.
Although the acting may not be top-notch, the appearance can definitely attract all men and women.
As for the male protagonist, the sense of existence may be weaker, but it is more famous in Asia, and not many people in the whole world should know about it.
Although Tony Leung is the best actor in Cannes, most of his films are literary films, that is, "Hero" and "Infernal Affairs" left a little impression on the North American audience, but that was many years ago!
In recent years, "Lust and Caution" and "The Grandmaster" have only been watched by Chinese Americans in North America, and the rest of the films are only visited by lovers of literary films.
There are actually a lot of outstanding actors in China, but there are very few who can really be ranked in the world, so you can't let Jackie Chan play such an intellectually exploding university professor, right?
However, these excellent actors also suffer in fame, most of them are even less famous than Tony Leung, at least he is one of the most accomplished actors in the Chinese film industry, and the Golden Horse and Golden Statues are all soft, for literary and artistic youth, many of his movies can be on the altar.
Tony Leung's personal image is still quite in line with Professor Yan University, and his acting skills are also passable, but he suffers from fame.
Even in China, the box office appeal of his movies is very average, let alone in the world!
Therefore, the main creative lineup of this version of "The Da Vinci Code" is a bit shabby compared to the previous life, and it may not be the actors who attract the audience the most, but the name of the film.
The Da Vinci Code is the only reason they have to enter the cinema!
