"Sin City" and "Fantastic Four" are both films that are very popular with media fans, and their heroine audition invitations are naturally very rare opportunities.

Both belong to classic comic book adaptations, and Frank Miller, a comic book master who has participated in the drawing of "Wolverine" and "Batman", launched "Sin City" in 1991, this comic draws on the characteristics of Raymond Chandler and others' black detectives, Japanese manga master Kazuo Koike, and Kojima Tsuyoshi's masterpiece "Strip Wolf", using unique black and white pictures to create, while having strong cinematic scenes and traditional carving styles, violence and humanity coexist.

"Sin City" was very popular with comic book fans as soon as it was published, with a large number of die-hard fans, and also established Miller's status as a master, and later "Hellboy", "The Punisher" author Mike Mignole and others were deeply influenced.

In 1992, 23-year-old Mexican-American director Robert Rodriguez made his $7,000 16mm film "Killer Tragedy", which amazed the Sundance Film Festival, followed by "Three Steps to Murder" in '95 and "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" in '03 to complete the Mexican trilogy, and 2001's "Very Little Spy" made him enter the 100 million North American box office club for the first time, and the series of trilogies also proved his commercial film ability.

As we all know, Sin City fan Rodriguez lobbied Frank Miller for success, and the two decided to co-direct and bring the original Sin City book to the big screen as it is, both in terms of story and black and white style. In addition to Rodriguez's own production company "Troublemaker" to participate in the investment, he brought in the owner of Dimen Pictures, who has always been happy to work together, and the budget of 40 million is about to be triggered.

Although 40 million is not a big investment, the charm of "Sin City" is too great, especially since the movie will be completely faithful to the original book, and even the storyboards are used in pages and pages of comics! This means that it can become almost 100% of the cult movie classics.

Not only can you star in a good movie, but popularity will follow, and maybe there will be awards, and the opportunity is rare!Mickey Rock, Bruce Willis, Elijah Wood, Benicio del Toro, Carla Guchino, Devin Aoki, Rosario Dawson...... One by one, well-known or fledgling actors have joined, and compared to the budget of B-grade films, the cast is enough to be called strong.

The heroine "Nancy" is naturally not a rare role, on the contrary, Jessica Simpson and others have expressed their desire to play Nancy, but now, the crew of "Sin City" has issued a "transformation invitation" to Sunshine Angel Jessica Alba.

Nancy has a lot of nudity in the original comics, and now the movie has to be intact, but industry fans know that Jessica doesn't make nude scenes, and she declared in an interview in the last century: "Even if I am accused by everyone, even if I don't have to be an actor, I won't make nude scenes." Now that she's about to happily marry Wonder Young, no one believes that Sin City can change her principles.

So this invitation made it clear at the beginning that "Nancy didn't have a nude scene" (the original 05 version of "Sin City" deleted Nancy's nudity scene because of Jessica Alba's refusal to be nude);

In fact, Nancy has several candidate actors, and Jessica is the most popular candidate among fans, with unrivaled appearance and good acting skills, if she is willing to audition, then 99.9% Nancy is her. Of course, like another "Fantastic Four" film contract, you have to dye your brown hair blonde.

"Thank you for the invitation! But sorry, I don't have feelings for Nancy. Jessica didn't feel that there was any room for negotiation, and refused the invitation in one bite, for no reason, a refusal is a refusal.

Do you still need to think about it? The old multiple-choice questions seem to have come again, "Idle Hands" or "Youth Musical"? "Sin City" or "Firefly"? Jessica's answer in her mind was that anything that prevented her from appearing on Wang Yang's set and might ruin their relationship was ...... Five years ago, she was too young to know what she wanted and what was the greatest pursuit in life, but now, she has long known it from her heart.

Not to mention the conflict with the "Firefly" schedule, she wasn't interested in "Sin City" and Nancy, the comics sounded cool, and the Mexican-American team had a sense of intimacy, but the nude kiss scenes with more gimmicks than the effect were very annoying, she didn't want to be verbose, and there was a lot of wedding preparation to do.

The crew of "Sin City" did not give up easily, and like Nolan and his wife, Rodriguez's usual co-producer was his wife Elizabeth Epron, who had been married for 14 years and had four children.

The two in-laws insisted on the lobbying route of knowing and reasoning and moving with affection, saying that Nancy was not Betsy or Gail, she was loving, maintained a trace of innocence and kindness in the midst of sin, and was still an angel in the film, which was almost equivalent to putting "Gabriella", "Sweetheart" or "Andrea" in a black and white scene, which was absolutely eye-catching!

However, the persevering Rodriguez couple received a call from Wang Yang personally, and he made it clear that Jessica was going to star in "Firefly...... It's over, there's no way out! What else can I do? Fools know that Nancy can only find someone else. However, Rodriguez couldn't make a plan and made another plan, so he turned around and started Wang Yang's idea, warmly invited him to come over as a guest director, and paid him a dollar to take the director's microphone for "Sin City" for one day.

"Think of it as a day on the set!"

And Robert Rodriguez's good buddy Quentin Tarantino has happily accepted the same cameo director's invitation, which means going to Troublemaker's studio in Austin, Texas, which has advanced digital filming equipment such as green screens.

Rodriguez is a fanatical technology stream, "Very Little Agent 3" is a 3D movie, he is in the same camp as Robert Zemeckis, George Lucas, James Cameron, Peter Jackson, Michael Bay and others, with CGI, 3D, IMAX, digital cameras are the future of cinema as the concept, constantly pushing forward and innovating film technology; Christopher Nolan, the Coen brothers, and others.

The young but pivotal Wang Yang is a combination of contradictions, the digital party or the film party?

He shocked the world with a digital DV camera, funded the Digital Technology Training Institute of USC, and praised GGI, 3D and other technologies in many interviews with "Time" and other media, and the image engine company, the I&B department, "District 9" and "Firefly" are all exactly carrying out the task of propulsion, and can be called a fanatic; on the other hand, he is not a person who gives up film easily, and once said, "Film has an unparalleled quality, and I love it." Of course, when digital has more properties than film, I have to empathize. ”

And from "Youth Musical" to "The Devil Wears Prada", each of his films has a full sense of film, different types of visual senses, from midsummer to cool autumn to warm winter, it is not the first time that the exquisite beauty of the picture has been praised.

Rodriguez, however, felt that he and the digital magic Yang would have a lot in common, and it would be even more beautiful if Wang Yang was willing to shoot a scene for "Sin City". Wang Yang is quite happy to discuss movies with Rodriguez, and Flame can also open business contacts with troublemakers, but this guest director invitation is still under consideration, "Sin City" is very good, but what scenes to shoot? "Firefly" will definitely be filmed in Texas.

Here Wang Yang considered the guest director invitation of "Sin City", and Jessica turned down Sue Stone, the heroine of "Fantastic Four", the "invisible man", and made it clear from the beginning that there was no need to negotiate.

At this moment, the producer 20th Century Fox is really very depressed, and everyone speculates that Jessica is going to join "Firefly", and "Sin City" on the same schedule is purely looking for death; but the filming schedule of "Fantastic Four" is after "Firefly", how sunny and majestic the invisible woman is! There is no nude scene, and the kiss scene can be avoided, because Jessica's figure is more attractive than other people's kissing gimmicks.

100 million cost budget, generous salary and dividends!Shooting in August!Why did you refuse cleanly?Fox and Flame did have some grievances because of Blue Sky Studios, but business is business, and it doesn't need to be like this, right?

In particular, "Fantastic Four" is a super popular superhero comic, known as "the best comic book in the world", Sue Storm can definitely give full play to her sexy charm! This can make her popularity even better, and establish the status of the eldest sister in Hollywood! In the future, there will be automatically packaged "Fantastic Four Heroes 2" and "Fantastic Four 3" performance opportunities, why refuse? Why!?

The agent Miranda replied with the following reasons: "She has little interest, and after marrying Young, she needs more time to take care of the family." ”

And Jessica knows a more specific reason why it is sweet when she thinks about it, in the second half of the year after "Firefly" is completed, even if Magic Young asks her to play the heroine, she won't act! Because there is one most important and happiest thing in a woman's life waiting for her to do.

"Hey, Jan, I have a question for you. As soon as he left the art office, he smiled and said to Joshua, the production assistant next to him, Wang Yang looked at him a few times while continuing to walk towards his office, shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Say! But please put away your smirk." Joshua nodded and said with a serious expression: "You know that "Sin City" invited Ali to play 'Betsy', which is the whistleblower prostitute, what do you think?

Jessica rejected Nancy, fans felt sorry, Joshua was not surprised at all, but when his beloved Alexis received an invitation and was interested in starring, he couldn't help but be a little worried, will Yang not be optimistic about this movie?

Let's put it this way, "Sin City" is almost certain to be a success, and Ali's role as Betsy is also an image breakthrough. Wang Yang thought about it and replied, the whistleblower played by Ali in the original version is impressive, breaking through the well-behaved image of "Gilmour Girl", Ali has previously had a wonderful performance of both good and evil in "MIT-21-TEAM". He added: "But it's hard for Betsy to bring any popularity, and I recommend the heroine of a youth romance movie." ”

"Yes, I agree! Mexicans are not easy to mix...... But why Becky, why not Nancy?"

Joshua frowned in confusion, what kind of stupidity are those people! Ali is not more beautiful than Jessica? Wang Yang laughed a few times, and said pertinently: "ELL, Ali is very charming, the problem is that it is like a beautiful landscape painting, a little less sexy, she is like Nancy when she was a child, and your sister is an adult." Joshua pressed his forehead and said, "Please!" Wang Yang punched him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I know they are now inviting Scarlett Johansson to play Nancy, right?"

Joshua suddenly sighed, "Yes? Scarlett, of course, is spicy." But after thinking about it, he still felt that Ali was more suitable, and he couldn't help but get more and more excited: "Don't you think Ali's quiet and shy temperament is great? Nancy needs these! And her blue eyes, wow! I'm actually her boyfriend, incredible!"

"I'll give you Robert Rodriguez's number. Wang Yang took out his mobile phone and pressed it, Joshua waved his hand unneedily, and said with a smile: "Actually, Ali doesn't care much about popularity, it's good now, she just wants to challenge her image, and it's fun to go back to Texas to film." Wang Yang nodded and said, "If that's the case, let's follow! "Sin City" is very good. ”

Returning to the office and sitting down, Wang Yang reached out and fiddled with a chaotic pendulum on the desk, and leaned on the back of the chair and gradually fell into thought, he has always had the question of thinking, this world is like a chaotic pendulum that never stops, but compared with the world in his mind, the track of many things is completely different, Jessica does not play "Sin City", does not play "Fantastic Four", who will Nancy and Invisible Man ......play "Lalala-la-" Just as he was thinking about it, the phone suddenly rang, Rachel McAdams, and he answered with a smile: "Hello, Rachel." Rachel's voice over there was pleasant: "Hey, Yang, did it bother you?" Wang Yang responded: "No, what's wrong?" Rachel laughed: ""Fantastic Four" invited me to audition for Sue Stone, I just wanted to ask your opinion, should I play Sue?"

Jessica Alba is just Sue Stone's favourite, and it's almost her nodding that is, and of course she's declining now. And the invisible woman is not indispensable, the "Fantastic Four" crew also considers the candidates for the invisible woman, Julia Stiles, Kate Potsworth, Elizabeth Banks, Cady Stryland, and Rachel McAdams.

Now that Jessica has withdrawn from the competition, regardless of appearance, popularity, and acting skills, Rachel has naturally become the hottest candidate, and the media and the public know that the invisible man is either Jessica or Rachel.

From 1998 to "Ghost Shadow", "Youth Musical" trilogy, "Transform into a Hot Girl", and then to last year's "MIT-21-TEAM", Rachel did not appear in "The Notebook" and "Mean Girl", and the latter's "Campus Queen" Regana George is now played by Ashley Tisdale.

"Why not?" Wang Yang replied seriously, Rachel's acting is very aura, in terms of the film and television library in his mind, he admires and thinks she plays the most is "Morning Anchor", which completely relies on her solo show to support the whole movie, in addition to the performance of "Time Traveler's Wife" and "Sherlock Holmes" are also amazing enough. If Rachel were to play the Invisible Woman, there would be no doubt that she would be at ease.

However, he knew that what she asked was not whether he could act or not, but how the movie was and whether the role was suitable, Wang Yang thought about it again and said: "In fact, you know that "Fantastic Four" was filmed in 1994, but it was not completed on time, and Surprise took back the filming rights again. Rachel said "yes" and continued: "They've been preparing for so long, and they're going to be at full speed in terms of publicity, and who doesn't pay attention to the cost of 100 million? ”

"And I promise?" said Rachel with a smile. Wang Yang tapped the keyboard a few times, and then said to the phone: "But, Tim Storey, born in 1970, graduated from the USC School of Film and Television, my alumnus, has filmed a lot of MTV, movies such as "Barbershop" and "Taxi Queen". Uh, all I can say is that he's not very reassuring, I've seen "The Taxi Queen," and even though Storey is young......" Rachel interrupted him: "How old are you?"

"I'm sorry! I'm analyzing it for you!" Wang Yang shouted angrily, and Rachel laughed heartily and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Haha, you continue." Wang Yang continued: "Storey is very young, but his thinking is more old-fashioned and conservative. Rachel, he doesn't play cool, and Fantastic Four needs to be cool. Rachel knew he meant that Stoary would mess up, and immediately said, "Then I refuse?"

Wang Yang said without hesitation: "NO! You should take it, this is a very good opportunity." Because Storey might mess up and be ridiculed by critics, but Fantastic Four is still a good box office, and it's a comic book that is so popular that you can make Sue Storm glamorous and be the part of the film that doesn't mess up, sparkle, you know?"

"Yang, when did you change careers to become an agent?" Rachel asked for no reason, Wang Yang laughed, turned his chair and said helplessly: "Do you know what the most pitiful part of this is? I don't have a commission!" The two couldn't help laughing for a while, Rachel was silent for a few seconds, and her soft voice was full of sincerity: "Do you think I can play Su well?" Wang Yang then nodded and said, "Of course!"

"OK, hehe, OK! Rachel let out a sweet laugh and said confidently: "Then I'll take it!" Then in 2005, kill your "Firefly", haha!" Wang Yang exhaled in fear: "Oh my God, another ......"

2005 was indeed very lively, many fans are excited when they think about the screen battle at that time, "Sin City" will probably not be a summer vacation, and "Star Wars Prequel 3", "Batman", "Firefly", "Fantastic Four", "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", etc., as well as temporarily unknown blockbusters have appeared in turn.

No one knows whether the magic Yang with the "law of the office building" or "everything under control" has become the target of public criticism, the most dangerous bomb! The 55 million production cost of "The Demon Wears Prada" can sweep 500 million at the box office, the 100 million "Ninth District" has 765 million, and the 200 million "Firefly" X billion? Except for the crew of the Tranquility, all the people stationed in the 05 summer vacation file are a little uneasy about this...... Wang Yang and Rachel chatted a few more words and ended the call, but the phone that he had just put down quickly rang again, Scarlett Johansson. Wang Yang muttered, "What's wrong", and answered the channel: "Hey, Scarlett, is it about Nancy in Sin City?" Scarlett over there was stunned: "Ah, yes...... Yes. Wang Yang immediately laughed and said, "Come on! No problem." ”

"Heheha!" Scarlett laughed out loud to remove the embarrassment, and asked sincerely, "Young, this question may be presumptuous, why doesn't Jessica play Nancy?"

Jessica Alba has announced that she has joined "Firefly" and will play the mysterious girl Reva. —Yahoo Entertainment.
