Chapter 279: It's Time to Fight Back (Three Watches)
(Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!) )
The news of the DVD sale of "Fast and Passion" came back, which finally made Chen Tiandu feel much better.
Over the next few days, he continued to audition for other roles, choosing the role of Elizabeth Swan.
Anne Hathaway is very good, but unfortunately she is too sweet, and Chen Tian regrets that she can only refuse. Scarlett is a child star, but she has a small bone but can express a very explosive character, which is a typical image of flattery on the outside and on the inside. Chen Tian wanted to cooperate with her, but not this time.
Keira Knightley was the last actress to come to the interview, and when she arrived, Matrix was almost out of work.
"You're late, Miss Knightley." Chen Tiandu looked at his watch.
Kayla was a little apprehensive, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I found it in the wrong place, I went around in a big circle in Hollywood to find this place." I'm really sorry. ”
Several other people had just met Annie, Jessica, Scarlett, and others, and they were either well-proportioned, busty types, or stunningly beautiful. At this moment, when I saw Kate's flat chest, I subconsciously pouted.
"It's okay, our company's address is really hard to find." Chen Tiandu motioned for her to calm down, and came to the audition after changing her costume. Seeing that after she wore the long skirt of the ancient European nobles, she couldn't see the ditch chest even if she squeezed hard, so she was really curious and asked: "Can you ask, your bust?" ”
Kayla froze, then squirmed and uttered a number that she couldn't speak. Chen Tiandu was also a little speechless, "Sure enough, it's A." Kayla, who was hit by Chen Tiandu's casual question, was a little discouraged, and thought that she didn't have a chance, so she was very casual.
Everyone in the tsuò group shook their heads. Not optimistic about her.
Keira Knightley was born into a family of actors. Father, Will Knightley, is an actor. Mother Sharman MacDonald is a playwright. At the age of 3, at Kayla's request, her parents agreed to work on the crew during the summer vacation. She was born as a child star, and her first role was "Country Love" when she was 9 years old. But Knightley's first appearance was in 1999's Star Wars Episode I: Phantom Menace as Queen Amidala's stand-in Sabe. Then there is a small-budget horror film "Ghost Place" released this year, Chen Tiandu has no impression of this movie, and it should not be very good.
This kind of resume, among many competitors, is indeed very undominant, and the chances of qualifying are minimal.
It's unexpected. Chen Tiandu gave a different answer, "Only she has a kind of classical beauty, doesn't she?" This kind of temperament is easier to highlight in British actresses. ”
Peck, McCoway and others were speechless one after another, and McCoway said: "Then you can just find Kate to act, she is still more famous than her." Peck shrugged, "I can't help it, he prefers British actresses with a classical temperament." ”
Chen Tian didn't hear this kind of complaint. Summoned Keira Knightley again and gave a direct reply.
"Kayla, congratulations on getting this role. Let's have a good time working together! ”
In the end, he decided that it was Keira Knightley. A flat-chested girl.
"What, I was selected, you mean I got the role of Elizabeth." Kayla waited only five minutes for this answer, and she was about to jump for joy, and her agent was excited. I didn't have hope, but I suddenly got the role, and I was so happy.
The heroine was determined, which made Chen Tiandu very happy. He also sent an email to several unsuccessful auditionees in person, to the effect that thank you for coming to audition, not this time, I hope that next time I will have the opportunity to work together.
Scarlett and Anne soon realized that this was Chen Tiandu's mailbox and saved the address in the Zài favorites column. Scarlett was a little regretful and said something like thank you. Anne was very skillful in setting almost, "Director, next time there is a suitable role, I hope to consider me." ”
Chen Tiandu replied: "Yes, I like your "Princess Diaries" very much, come on!" "The Princess Diaries, which was released in August, had a good box office in North America, and Anne's watch was also good.
Compared with the heroine, Chen Tiandu considered more about the choice of another male protagonist.
After careful consideration and comparison, he turned down Orlando Bloom. Orlando is the actor of the role of Wiltner in the original work, and he also plays the "elf prince" in the upcoming "Lord of the Rings 1: The Lord of the Rings". This also made him quite popular before the movie was released, and he also won the title of "Elf Prince".
But Chen Tiandu didn't like his performance in the original work too much, and even media critics criticized his acting skills, thinking that his appearance in the movie was not as good as Kayla.
Chen Tiandu is reluctant to believe the media's evaluation, he believes that everything must be witnessed and confirmed. But in the end, this handsome guy's performance is far less excellent, and even his compatriot Jude Law is more skilled in acting than him, so it's no wonder he didn't win any acting awards. This handsome face has given him a lot of convenience, but it has also restricted him too much.
Finally set his sights on Heath Ledger, whose performance was deep and freewheeling, leaving no trace. In front of the camera lens, he is handy and fully grasps the essence of the character.
At his age of 22 years old and he doesn't have much acting experience, it's a rare occurrence. You know, Heath Ledger has only been shown in the TV series "Sweat" and the 2001 film "Holy Knight", which earned him a nomination for Best Actor in the 3rd Teen Choice Awards, and that's it.
Although Chen Tiandu is not big, Hiss can only be regarded as a newcomer in front of him. There can be this kind of table, and the future is unlimited.
Both of them signed a three-part contract with the Matrix, and they had to complete the filming of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, as well as cooperate with the promotion of the film. And before the first film, there will be several weeks of professional training in advance.
Of course, they also get paid.
At present, the highest paid is Rush, although he is an Oscar winner, but he appears as a supporting role, and his value is not too high, only $5 million. The second highest is Heath Ledger and Keira Knightley, who are in the same situation, so the same is paid, both $1 million. Compared with the super investment of $150 million in the movie, this kind of actor's salary level is too low.
To make the film look more believable, all the actors who played pirates and the British Navy underwent weeks of training, and stunt coordinator George Marshall Ruger was brought in, as well as swordsmanship master Robert Anderson and his disciple Mark Ivey to direct the training.
All the costumes and styling are being prepared at a rapid pace. As soon as the pirate ship is completed, construction can begin.
On the official website of the matrix, the website of the new movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" has also been opened, releasing a huge image of the Black Pearl, as well as the news and photos of these characters who have confirmed the characters. Sure enough, the media, which had been waiting for his new news, immediately reacted.
"The New York Times": "The biggest name in the whole film is Chen Tiandu himself, with an acting Jeffrey Rush. What will an Oriental distort when making a Western historical film? The movie is nothing to see! ”
The Chicago Sun: "Newcomers, newcomers, newcomers, I can't see how many surprises there are when I go through the list of the starring cast. There is no doubt that this is a movie in which Christmas Chan takes the lead alone. His willfulness and arrogance, what kind of realm does he have to break through to make this kind of movie. ”
The Baltimore Sun: "Who is Keira Knightley, oh, I acted in a horror movie before, this movie has only been released on a small scale and has never been in the top 12, no wonder there is no impression. The most important thing is that this girl is actually a flat-chested girl, and I really want to ask, can I run a plane on it? I heard that she also defeated Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba and other big stars...... Christmas Chen's eyes are spent, or the aesthetic of the Chinese is different, preferring classical beauties. ”
Not much was said about Heath Ledger. Just amazed that the rookie beat Jude Law, Orlando Bloom, Hugh Jackman, and others.
"A lucky young man."
The media reported the news, and the focus is still on Chen Tiandu. Maybe the outside world is singing too much, and this time the fans on the official website of the matrix actually sang the opposite.
"Oh my God, Christmas Chan isn't a Star Wars fan, and I thought he was going to join forces with the Star Wars Queen to satisfy the interest of Star Wars fans. actually rejected the queen. "Jessica and Anne are both beautiful and have good figures, but they actually chose a flat chest? "The most important thing is that Uncle Wolf is defeated and the newcomer is coming out, does anyone know this Heath Ledger? It's going against the sky, and I'm going to act in this kind of blockbuster for the first time. ”
The Hollywood Observer reported: "If you don't make a good fashion commercial blockbuster, you choose pirates from Western history." We seem to be able to foresee that Christmas Chan will pay the price for his willfulness, the fall of a new director star. This movie, which has not yet started filming, already has all the potential for bad movies. The unflattering pirate theme, inexperienced actors, being divested and abandoned by partner company Disney before filming, and Christmas Chan is going to play a medieval Caribbean pirate, people can't help but complain, how shocking his appearance will be, and how bad will this movie be in the end? ”
Even domestic media began to report: "Director Chen Tiandu's new work is not favored in Hollywood, Disney withdrew its investment before filming, and the film's large investment of more than $150 million will be borne by the matrix independently, and the risk is doubled." Fortunately, even if the movie fails, he will not go bankrupt. ”
This kind of news makes people speechless, where is it good, will it not go bankrupt?
Anyway, the few media who paid attention to this film poured cold water on it, and God seemed to have told them that "Pirates of the Caribbean will fail", so they rushed to show their "foresight".
But the threat of "three people become tigers" must not be ignored, if there are many people who say that it is a bad movie, there will be people who will follow the clouds, and when the time comes, a fixed consciousness will be formed, and even if it is a good movie, they will disdain to watch it.
If that's the case, that's bad.
"It's time to fight back!" (To be continued......)
