The Los Angeles Times and the New York Times are facing off head-to-head!

This is not a new thing, it happens almost every three or five times, but every time it happens, it still makes people's blood boil, because it is a strong collision of public opinion between the east and west sides of the United States, like Mars hitting the earth.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the model audition for "Mad Max 4" was a farce, like circus acrobatics, and the future of the film was bleak in the absence of a great actor to attract attention. Both inside and outside the words, it is emphasized that Lance ignores the important role of actors - implying that Lance has fallen into the embarrassing situation of having no good actors available, and choosing a model to join is completely putting the cart before the horse.

However, the "New York Times" said that the selection of actors for "Mad Max 4" is in full swing, from Tom to Leonardo, from Charlize to Scarlett, Lance's appeal has been clearly reflected, no one will forget, Lance is currently Hollywood's most box office money-absorbing ability, the most acting training ability of young directors, no one, any actor to join Lance's new work is something to be cheered about. As for model auditions, it's clear that Lance knows exactly what he's doing – he's creating a commercial masterpiece that's a real feast for the eyes.

The cynicism of the "Los Angeles Times" is the mainstream of Hollywood at present, but the strong response of the "New York Times" has given Hollywood a hard slap in the face, and once again awakened their "disappeared" memory: Lance is no longer the puppet at the mercy of others -- although he was not from the beginning.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lance only needs to raise his arms and exhale, and the actors who are willing to join will definitely follow one after another.

"I Am Legend", "007", "Spider-Man 3", "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", "National Treasure 2"...... Are these works worth joining? Of course it's worth it! Not only because these are high-profile commercial blockbusters, as long as you become a part of them, you will receive countless attention; And because these are all works produced by the six major film companies, a collaboration may open the way to long-term cooperation in the future, which is a rare opportunity for any actor.

But, none of them are Reims.

The fame accumulated from one work after another has given Lance an unparalleled appeal in Hollywood. Even if Chaos Pictures is not Warner Bros. or Sony Pictures, for those actors who have been famous for a long time, the size of the company is not the focus, the work is; And for those actors who are unknown, big companies are out of reach, and small companies have many opportunities. What's more, with each of Lance's works being topical, every one of them brilliant, and every one of them being successful, the young director's authority is breaking free from the shackles of big studios and becoming a new banner for Hollywood.

Even if the six major studios joined forces to blockade them, they would not be able to control the hundreds of thousands of members of the Screen Actors Guild and prevent them from throwing themselves into the arms of Lance. Perhaps, on the surface, no one wants to openly admit that they want to join "Mad Max 4", because there seems to be every indication that this will be a doomed work; But when an offer from Reims does come along, how many people will be able to refuse the temptation?

First Tom and Leonardo, then Charlize, then Scarlett. However, this was just the beginning, and Emma Watson later promoted "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" by saying, "It would be fun to be able to star in a work directed by Lance, wouldn't it?" ”

Immediately after that, Naomi Watts, who was in the spotlight because of "King Kong", mentioned in an interview, "Lancelot. At the time, she was asked which director she would most like to work with after ending her work with Peter Jackson, "He's amazing, isn't he?" It is always possible to give a different charm to the character. I recently heard that he was working on a new work, and I was happy to join him. ”

Edford Norton said in a guest on the radio show, "'Mad Max 4', this is the work I want to shoot the most at the moment, Lance, do you hear that? I'm waiting for your invitation call, and to be honest, I'm now thinking about whether or not I'm going to visit New York in person. ”

The resounding slap after slap made the "Los Angeles Times" hold its breath fiercely, and it could not be vented no matter what, and the feeling of grievance could not be described in words.

Now Lance is like a woke giant, and it seems unlikely that he wants to use strong means to suppress it, because the absolute advantage has disappeared, and the big-name actors are very happy to promote Lance, even if professionals in the industry think that "Mad Max 4" will be a disaster, but for the actors, Lance has accumulated enough credit, and they do not hesitate to express their respect and admiration, and they have great confidence in this work.

Just like James Cameron, everyone in the circle firmly believes that "Titanic" will be a huge disaster, especially after the devastating blow of "Future Water World", but there are still countless actors willing to join, there are still film companies willing to invest, and there are still people who are willing to take risks. Now, the same is true for Reims.

The six major studios standing behind the "Los Angeles Times" are expected to be disappointed, "Mad Max 4" can no longer be suppressed by conventional means, and Lance's authority makes the situation gradually out of control; Luckily, every industry has its own rules, and if you break them, you will inevitably be punished, and insiders know that Chaos Pictures can't afford to rent a studio in Burbank.

The news of the "New York Times" came to the scene at the perfect time, not only to respond to the concerns of the "Los Angeles Times", but also to shift people's attention to the "Mad Max 4" audition scene, and before you know it, this work has once again become a big hit.

Located on Manhattan's 51st Street, East Garden is the prestigious Old Theater, where the world-famous musical "Cats" has been staged for many years, making it the longest continuous show on Broadway. As a time-honored theater, the architecture of the East Garden is a typical old-fashioned European style, with antique facades and colorful porches, everything is filled with the retro flavor of the thirties of the last century, and the seemingly old decoration carries the history and charm of the entire street, and every detail has traces of wind and frost, which makes people can't help but depict the appearance of history.

"Cats" officially ended its performance in 2000, and now East Garden is starring Hugh-Jackman (Hugh-Jackman's "The Boy from Oz", the actor who became famous all over the world because of Wolverine, and is also an excellent theater actor. Hugh won his first Tony Award last year for his role as a gay entertainer in "The Boys from Oz," which made the musical a hit on Broadway, with a crowd at the door on the night of the show eager to catch a glimpse of Hugh.

However, today's East Garden is a little unusually lively, only ten o'clock in the morning, more than 1,000 people have gathered at the door, bustling and lively, that crowded grand scene is rare even when the "cat" is staged. Not only that, but the crowd continued to approach the East Garden, more and more, more and more crowded, making the people passing by on both sides of the street show stunned expressions.

What's even more amazing is that the whole road is crowded with beautiful women and handsome guys, which are occasionally mixed with some weather-covered aliens, which are particularly abrupt, and you can see the cameras around their necks and the old-fashioned fixed collocation, which makes it easy to recognize their identity as reporters.

At this time, it was already late autumn, and the wind in New York was mixed with the cold and cold, but the pomp and circumstance in front of him gave people the illusion that spring was coming.

New York Fashion Week...... Wasn't it over three weeks ago? ”

It's almost the first reaction that comes to everyone's mind, and it's always a great sight to see at New York Fashion Week every year, and the auditions for the top big names to choose models are even more beautiful, even if it's just standing on the sidelines and watching. But the problem is that it's clearly not the time of Fashion Week, and it's the Garden of the East, not the model auditions.

When Javier Ulliel arrived at the scene, the smiling picture came to his face like a hot air, and he didn't know where to fall for a while, as long as he swept it casually, he could see amazing faces, and the male models who occasionally mixed in it were also tall and powerful, with outstanding temperament, which gave people the illusion of entering Alice's whimsical world, Javier couldn't help but be a little stunned, he couldn't find an accurate word to describe the grand occasion in front of him.

"It's a real party." The muttering of a fellow photographer came from his ears, and Javier couldn't help but nod.

There was no word more suitable than party, and Javier smiled dumbly, "Lance is really ruthless this time." He can almost imagine the visual impact of tomorrow's major news pages, especially the waves created on the Internet, no matter what Lance's real purpose is, the selection of actors or the hype of the topic, he has already grasped the initiative, and this audition will occupy the top spot on the topic list for a long time to come.

Not to mention the others, even Javier couldn't help but start wondering, what will "Mad Max 4" look like when filmed?

Presumably, those people in Hollywood don't like the scene in front of them.

"Let's enjoy the party!" Javier patted his colleague on the shoulder, and male hormones, dopamine, and adrenaline bloomed like fireworks at the same time, which is not a rare opportunity. (To be continued.) )
