Chapter 381: The Immature Evil God Loki (Second Update)
The length and content of the article are all the original words of the interview, and there are also selling points everywhere.
For example, the phrase, "Retire before the age of forty!" β
But the editor-in-chief still chose to report Chen Tiandu's private feelings as the headline selling point. They even conducted a systematic survey of the divorce rate in the United States and obtained enough information to support Chen Tiandu's words.
The U.S. population is about 300 million, and 59% are married. Although more than 90% of American adults will choose to marry and live, the divorce rate in the United States is very high as Chen Tiandu said.
In the 50s, more than 90% of married couples were able to stay married for more than 10 years, but by the 90s, this proportion had dropped to less than 50%. In recent years, there has even been a 30-year itch in the United States, that is, many elderly people over 60 years old, and even old husbands and wives in their 80s, have joined the ranks of divorce. The divorce rate is as high as 50 per cent, and almost one in two families is divorced.
Among them, Chinese families and communities have the smallest divorce rates.
It turns out that Chinese Americans are the most reliable, and after this report came out, many Chinese American men became sought-after goods in a short period of time.
And after reading this interview, it makes people even more envious of Kate. If there's one place with the highest divorce rate in Hollywood, it's definitely Hollywood. Chen Tiandu's goal of "only getting married once in a lifetime" is naturally Kate.
Naturally, Kate herself saw the interview.
Celebrity couples are sometimes so complicated, there are many things that cannot be said in person, but have to be communicated through the media. It couldn't be sadder than that, but she was still very moved.
They initially met and only maintained a relationship as each other's sexual-partners. Who knew that five years had passed. During this period, there were strong feelings for each other and estrangement. But they came to each other. The career has also reached a higher level. Right now. It's time to think about these things.
She actually cared more about what Chen Tiandu said about "I am not perfect", and she actually had some guesses in her heart, and the faces of several women flashed back to her mind in an instant. It's just that she hasn't wanted to think about it all the time, and she's been just an ostrich with her head buried in the sand.
"He loves me, and that's enough!" After a long silence with the magazine in his hand, he picked up the phone and called. On the opposite side is a busy voice to language mailbox, for a long time: "Honey, I love you too!" β

Generally. The Hollywood film production process is basically divided into five stages: review and development, pre-preparation, lens shooting, post-production and sales and distribution, and after entering September, "Juno" is still in the initial pre-preparation stage.
During this phase, the crew is divided into several teams. Some people have to do a lot of preparation for the actual shooting, hiring actors and crews, setting up sets, and choosing shooting locations, etc., Chen Tiandu needs to be involved.
It is impossible for a director to completely detach himself from the preliminary preparations, the kind of work made by a director who hands over all the preparatory work to others and travels around the world by himself. There is only one way to hit the street, and there are absolutely no exceptions.
Chen Tiandu's behind-the-scenes team has always been known to be strong. It's because he has a clear purpose. This will greatly reduce the difficulty of preparation, they only need to do their own things according to the requirements, and feed back to Chen Tiandu one by one, and he will do the final review here.
The cast has already been assembled because time is in a hurry. There's not a lot of time left for them to go through the script, but it's obviously not a problem for the seasoned big names.
The final production cost was only 15 million, and the supporting roles of a number of big-name A-coffee cafes plus the protagonist Natalie Portman were paid less than five million. The remaining 10 million, on the one hand, have to pay the salaries of the crew members and other actors, and it is difficult to save money in these places, even Chen Tian only gave himself a salary of one dollar; On the other hand, you have to pay for the shooting costs of equipment, film, crew and staff, and you can save money in this aspect.
It's not that Canadian film is particularly cheap, but its wages for location and group performances are much lower, and there are preferential policies for shooting, which can save a lot of taxes for films, compared to shooting in the United States.
Adhering to the principle of saving if you can, the heroine of the crew chose Natalie, and others were not surprised. According to the description of the script, Natalie is simply the most suitable role, but she is the male lead, and no one knows him. In other words, this guy is a newcomer, and the most strange thing is that this kid is still an Englishman.
Tom Hiddleston, the same year as Natalie, is 188cm tall and was born in Westminster, London, England. That little brown curly hair is simply curly**. Especially with his immature skin and occasionally revealed flexible little eyes, he doesn't look like an actor who plays a traditional and decent protagonist, but it is rare and very dramatic.
It stands to reason that Tom should still be in college in the UK at this time, and God knows how he knew that Chen Tiandu's crew was recruiting, and he came to audition in a daze during the holidays. happened to be caught by Chen Tiandu at a glance, and inexplicably became the hero of this movie.
Oh my God, who are the people who quietly play the supporting role, Christian Bale, he really likes this actor. At the age of 13, from more than 4,000 children, he was photographed by Spielberg and starred in "Empire of the Sun" debut. So far, he has acted in more than ten movies. Maybe not all of these movies are great, but there is absolutely no Christian reason in them.
There is also a supporting role for the actress, but unfortunately he has no chance to play against these two.
"Tom, come here." Chen Tiandu, who was chatting with Christian, Winslet and others, suddenly called out to him, and he was stunned for a moment and ran over quickly.
"Hello, Mr. Director." Tom was slightly shy, now he didn't have the demeanor of Loki, the "evil god" many years later.
"Just call me Chen, or Krees." Chen Tiandu smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and pulled this guy forward, "Say hello to everyone and introduce yourself." β
Tom was rough, but not stupid, and immediately introduced himself smartly.
"You are an Englishman and have not yet graduated, how did you get selected by Chen?" Christian was curious.
Tom smiled and said, "Actually, I'm here for a vacation and I'm here for the interview." I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Chen, and I was chosen. I'm still confused. It felt like a dream......"
"Haha. Another guy who accompanied a friend to the interview and was selected. Hello, my name is Natalie Portman, and I will have a great time working together in the future. Natalie Portman took the initiative to greet her "boyfriend".
Chen Tiandu saw that their communication was quite pleasant, and he was also relieved, "Nat, bring Tom more." He's a little tender now, and I hope he'll be able to play Loki in the future. β
"Loki? Which Loki? β
Winslet, who had been smiling silently and rarely participated in the conversation, suddenly interjected. Christian and others were also surprised.
"That's that Loki. Loki, the 'evil god' in Marvel Comics, is the younger brother of Thor, the god of thunder. β
"Oh, my God. A superhero of the future, an evil god from Greek mythology. Winslet couldn't help but look at the kid a few more times. He was quite tall, but his expression was so tender that she couldn't see any resemblance between this kid and Loki. Natalie was also very surprised, and looked at Tom with a look of luck.
Christian said gently: "Work hard, there are not many opportunities like this." You know, I worked hard to get this role. β
"Thank you...... Thank you. Tom didn't know what to say, but shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know if to be happy or what to say." Frankly. It was the first time I'd ever heard a director talk about such a thing. I never knew I was scheduled to play Loki. It's really ......"
"Haha, no thanks." Chen Tiandu waved his hand. Walk away and continue to be busy, leaving only Tom Hiddleston messy in the wind. Natalie was still skeptical, "Are you really hearing of Loki for the first time?" β
ββ¦β¦β
After a short break, "Juno" finally started filming.
Compared to its preliminary preparations, the start-up is too low-key.
The one who is most prepared for this movie is undoubtedly Natalie. Recently, because of Chen Tiandu's series of auditions and hype for the supporting roles of the crew, she has put her mysterious protagonist on the cusp. In case she loses her performance, the most embarrassing she will be second, and the first one is undoubtedly Chen Tiandu. Even so, the proud Natalie will not allow herself to fail.
"Juno", she only read the script once, and she couldn't put it down.
Although there is great pressure from the outside world, she is full of confidence in this, and she has been waiting for this day for too long.
"Nat, I'll see you later."
Chen Tiandu did the final checks and was ready to start shooting the first shot.
Natalie confidently gestured to OK, "God, you're too long-winded. You know, I'm almost a pregnancy and baby expert now, and I have a lot of pregnancy books at home. Like what "Pregnancy Psychology", "Pregnancy Encyclopedia", "How to Be a Happy Pregnant Woman", ...... Can you be a little bit more clever man. β
Chen Tiandu stopped talking and waved his hand to start shooting.
"Act 1, first shot, action!"
β¦β¦
If it was an ordinary girl who was pregnant, Chen Tiandu would not be interested in her. What he wanted to shoot was not the kind of inspirational story that people "expected": a little girl who suddenly became pregnant, and tried to raise her child through all kinds of difficulties.
The reason why Juno, the girl, became the protagonist of this story, and the reason why she has a unique charm, is the most intuitive expression in her words and deeds. Language is a very important one, and it explains character from language. What she says must be interesting and original, and most of them can become the Cheng dΓΉ of the buzzword.
Especially since the Internet has only just become popular in these years, and Internet buzzwords are not as prevalent as they were a few years later. Chen Tiandu can fully hope that after the movie is released, how much power those advanced lines can play.
Of course, being too ahead of time will also have the opposite effect, and some lines are not applicable to the current era, and Chen Tiandu also revised them in a timely manner. For example, there is a line from Juneau, "honest-to-blog". The meaning of this phrase is "I dare to say to the blog, it's true." β
This is a variant of "honest-to-god", people want to tell the truth about God, and one of the purposes of the blog is to express their truth, so there is "honest-to-blog". But it obviously can't be put in the present, because not many people are playing blog at the moment.
There are also similar words, which can only be inexplicable to say years in advance.
Not only will it not add character media, but it will make the audience feel that the protagonist is chattering, like a gypsy witch. (To be continued......)
