Chapter Fifty-Six: Recruiting the Old Department
Chen Tiandu didn't pay too much attention to the outside voices.
The public's doubts are all expected by him, if he continues to make horror films, they may say "look forward to", he is still a future star; But when he shoots a sci-fi blockbuster, their attitude will change greatly, and he is no longer promising, he is just impatient to die.
Whether he can make a good science fiction movie or not, wait for the future to prove with facts.
Although arguing with the media is one of the propaganda methods, Chen Tiandu does not like it. He also likes to surf the Internet, but he is on the future network alone. Publicizing this kind of thing doesn't need him a headache.
At this time, some bad news also leaked out, which was about Kate, because she continued to receive attention as the heroine of Chen Tiandu's movie.
I don't know how the media got the news that Chen Tiandu poached the corner of Kate's ex-boyfriend Mike Sheen is a shameful third party who broke the news, causing further criticism and hype. Fortunately, there are too many news about Hollywood's splits and breakups, and under the bombardment of fatigue, readers have already exercised their resistance, and the influence of this scandal is not great.
Isn't it normal to pursue a beautiful woman when you see it, if Chen Tian is indifferent, I'm afraid some people will say that he is a base. Only a few entertainment tabloids are reporting, and the mainstream media doesn't care too much. If it's in China, it's a thing.
The money is in place, and the formation of the crew is very fast.
Chen Tiandu immediately called on the old department, makeup artist Greg Canon, and photographer Ayman Rul Lubeizki. He used these two very easily, and he invited them this time as well.
The casting was also carried out at the same time, and there was no extensive interview for the main roles.
Chen Tiandu did not interview many actors in person, and after seeing only a few actors, he quickly determined the identity of the leading actor. It was so fast that Spielberg thought he was too sloppy. Forget about Kate's matter, it is the heroine he has already set, as one of the three major investors, Chen Tian has this right. Hugo Weaving and Lawrence Fishburne also didn't think about it, and they only chatted a few words and decided on the roles in person.
Fortunately, there are some major supporting characters, such as prophets, tanks, cyphers, rats, switches, etc., and he did not make a decision on the spot. Otherwise, the financial supervisor who is responsible for negotiating the salary will vomit blood.
"Director, I'm Charlize, congratulations on directing a new movie again." Charlize Theron couldn't help but call again when he heard that Chen Tiandu's new film was a sci-fi blockbuster with an investment of over 100 million. She's been on the phone a bit lately.
"Thank you. Charlize, how are you doing lately, I heard that you have received a new play, congratulations. ”
"Yes, it's all small characters. I also want to ask the director if there are any roles in "The Matrix" that I can play, even if it is a small role. Charlize's tone was tinged with a hint of coquettishness and wistfulness.
Chen Tian was a little embarrassed, "Uh...... I'm sorry Charlize. There aren't many female characters in this movie. "That's right...... That...... Never mind. Next time you have a good role, remember to consider me. She was a little disappointed, but fortunately quickly adjusted her tone. The next time we meet, be sure to treat you to a drink......"
"You wait." Chen Tiandu interrupted her suddenly.
He's still not very good at rejecting people, especially beautiful women.
At this moment, I suddenly had an idea, thought of something, and then quickly opened the information to check it. There are not many female martial arts actors who stand out on the Hollywood screen, and "The Matrix" is also Yan zhòng's yang and yin.
After flipping through the information of the computer man actors, Smith's two subordinate actors have not yet been determined. In the original work, except for Hugo Weaving, who played Smith, his two iron-masked computer men were not very outstanding, and even after the movie ended, not many people remembered what they looked like.
If you add an expressionless beating girl to the computer man and arrange a female subordinate for Smith, will it be more brilliant? Just arrange more fight scenes with Trinity, male and female fights are always better than female fights.
"Director, are you still there?" After waiting for a long time, Charlize didn't hear the voice from the other side.
Chen Tiandu came to his senses and replied: "Charlize, how are you doing, do you have a schedule recently?" ”
"What?" Charlize was a little stunned, "What do you mean?" I studied ballet. She was keenly aware that things were turning around.
Chen Tiandu said: "It suddenly occurred to me that maybe I could change the role of an actor, but I needed an agile actress. I don't know if it's suitable for you, if you are interested, you can come to our company for an interview. ”
"Of course! Of course interested. Charlize agreed almost without thinking about it, and said with some emotion: "Thank you director, thank you so much, I will do my best to go to the interview." ”
After hanging up the phone, Chen Tiandu didn't think much about it, he welcomed a guest, a tall black strong man.
Lawrence Fishburne, who began acting at the age of 1o, played the lead role in "Netd-Me" at the age of 12, and worked with big-name directors such as Steven Spielberg, and later received an Oscar nomination, is one of the few famous black movie stars in Hollywood. After he won the Tony Award in 1982, he was a frequent participant in the Emmy Awards and Golden Globe Awards, winning many awards.
Chen Tiandu received the black actor at the company, and although Lawrence was rough and fierce on the outside, he had a gentle personality. took the initiative to ask for information about many movie characters, and then thanked Chen Tiandu for giving him this role.
"Director, I need to train in advance, right? What kind of sport do you practice, firearms or fighting, is there anyone else? This is the reason why Chen Tiandu came to him in advance.
"Lawrence, only you, me, and Kate Belsejin need to be trained in Chinese kung fu for a while, and the others need to be trained in martial arts. The film is scheduled to start in early December, with the first shot shot in China. The kung fu master I invited is still in China, so it is not convenient for me to come to the United States. So first of all, I would like to ask you if it is convenient to go to China in advance to study kung fu for a period of time. ”
"Wow, Chinese kung fu, Bruce Lee kind? I love it. It's just that the United States seems to have a martial arts gym, so do you have to go to China for training? ”
Chen Tiandu nodded, "Unlike Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, it is authentic Chinese kung fu, and Chinese mainland is the source of kung fu." Lawrence, Miss Kate will come with you, and meet the action director, and when you get there, Mr. Chapel-Kong will take care of the whole process. ”
"Church-hole?" Lawrence was a little stunned by the name.
"Oh, and one of the filmmakers, my compatriot, you'll meet him."
"Well, it's not bad to travel to China." He agreed.
After arranging Lawrence, Chen Tiandu received a call from the matrix special effects studio, and Michael Singki told him that he had failed to shoot "bullet time". A small shooter is strapped to the camera so that the camera can move very quickly. This scheme proved to be unworkable through the guò experiment, with a camera suddenly exploding in the middle of the process.
"I'm sorry, boss. We need to find a new way. Michael Singki apologized.
"It's okay, fortunately, there is still some time, try more methods, and be careful not to get hurt."
