After Li Maohua saw this script, he was amazed and thought that this was definitely a rare script. And if the Grandmaster's directing level is enough, then this world will be destined to have one more classic movie.
The script was set, the crew was built, and the next thing was for all the crew members to move to the United States to start preparations for filming in the United States.
After all, this is an authentic American movie, so most of the scenes in the film need to be shot in the United States. There are also some historical real footage from the film, which also needs to be found in the American archives.
In addition, many Dahua crews will be filming in the United States now, so the arrival of the grandmaster did not cause any sensation. Of course, this is mainly because the news of the grandmaster's transformation into making movies has not been announced, and if it is announced, Li Maohua's crew will definitely make headlines.
The crew quietly came to Savannah, Georgia, USA.
Although Forrest Gump's hometown in the script is in the town of Green, Alabama, the actual filming location is not there. This was also done by Robert Zemeckis in his previous life.
In fact, when Robert Zemeckis filmed Forrest Gump, many scenes were filmed in Savannah, Georgia, such as the small villa where Forrest Gump lived, which was filmed in a private villa in Savannah. The bench that Forrest Gump made while waiting for the bus is located in Zipewa Square in Savannah City.
After the crew arrived in Savannah City, Li Maohua began to contact the filming location according to the requirements of the grandmaster, and the crew began to prepare, while the grandmaster and the assistant director, who is also the casting director of this film, Yu Jin, a well-known director in Dahua, flew directly to Los Angeles by plane to prepare for casting there.
Yu Jin is a middle-aged man in his forties, and he is also a well-known director in Dahua's film circle, and has shot several movies that are quite good at the box office.
was invited by Li Maohua, and Yu Jin's schedule happened to be free, plus this is a recognized good man in the circle, so he happily accepted the position of assistant director.
"Forrest Gump" has quite high requirements for the protagonist, and it can be said that this film is a film that the protagonist holds up alone.
In his previous life, actor Tom Hanks won the Oscar for this film in a row. Of course, it is undeniable that Tom Hanks's Fures Gan is indeed vivid, so much so that this movie has been released for many years, and the first impression that people all over the world have when they mention Tom Hanks is that somewhat silly Forrest Gump......
In this life, if you want to shoot this great movie, you must also look for a person with good enough acting skills.
There is no such thing as Tom Hanks in this world, or Tom Hanks is not famous in this world for one reason or another.
But it doesn't matter, in Hollywood, there are actors with superb acting skills, as long as you find an actor who meets the appearance conditions and has good enough acting skills, then this film is more than half of the success.
It's just that the grandmaster really underestimated the difficulty of finding such an actor.
Even in Hollywood, it is difficult to find an actor who fits the image of Forrest Gump in the grandmaster's mind, and the most important thing is that the kind of acting skills required for this role is the most important.
"Master, what kind of actor are you looking for? It's been five days, and the other roles have been selected early, but isn't there an actor who can meet your requirements for the protagonist?" Sitting in a café, Li Maohua was also a little anxious, after all, it took five days to choose the casting alone, and the other roles had already been selected, but only this actor had not passed the review of the grandmaster.
The grandmaster shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Brother Li, I know too much what kind of protagonist I need, after all, this role was created by me, and I must find an actor who meets my heart." You've read the script, and if the character isn't good enough, then the film will be a complete failure. So Brother Li, let's work hard for two more days, if we really can't find it......"
Before the Grandmaster finished speaking, his head suddenly turned around and stopped moving.
Li Maohua was also turned away by the Grandmaster's action, and he saw a man handing out leaflets outside the window.
The man didn't look good-looking, and if anything, his head was particularly wide.
His wide head combined with his slightly upturned nose and the rustic "teapot lid" style of his head make the whole person look a little unbearable.
The Grandmaster suddenly slapped the table and stood up, and said with a surprised smile on his face: "Brother Li, this is really a long time coming, and it takes no effort to get it...... Hahaha, if my estimate is correct, the landing of the protagonist is there this time!"
With that, the Grandmaster hurried out.
Li Maohua was puzzled by the Grandmaster's words, but when he saw the Grandmaster's surprised look, he also laughed slightly.
The grandmaster has also been anxious about the casting in the past few days, and Georgia has basically implemented it, and now the movie actors are in place.
Originally, when the grandmaster chose to make this film, the budget was 50 million Chinese dollars, after all, when Robert Zemeckis filmed "Forrest Gump" in his previous life, the production cost was only 55 million US dollars, but don't forget, the protagonist of that movie is the new Oscar winner Tom Hanks, and the salary of the protagonist alone is more than 10 million US dollars.
This time, when the grandmaster budgeted for "Forrest Gump", he didn't want to use famous actors, after all, the salaries of these famous actors were too high, and he wanted to cast among the newcomers.
As a result, I chose five days, and I was stunned that I didn't meet the requirements. Originally, the grandmaster was planning to choose from those famous male movie stars if he really couldn't choose it, but suddenly a "Brother Lin" fell from the sky......
The reason why I haven't found a qualified actor before, is mainly because Forrest Gump played by Tom Hanks in his previous life is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and every time he casts, the grandmaster will involuntarily bring in Tom Hanks, so he has never found a qualified actor.
But today, this guy who suddenly appeared from the street is simply a living copy of Tom Hanks in his previous life!
The broad forehead, the Sichuan character lines wrinkled from time to time, and the teapot lid that is a little rustic, if it weren't for the grandmaster who was sure that there was no such male actor as Tom Hanks in this world, he really thought that Tom Hanks had also traveled into this world from his previous life......
