After the blacklist was announced, it triggered a seismic reaction throughout Hollywood, and the first thing people were shocked was the violent impact of this script screening method on the traditional way, and many unheard of screenwriters have emerged, but at present, most people are maintaining a wait-and-see attitude, how much difference will be between the actual value of this blacklist and the expected value, and how many works on the blacklist are really worth putting into production, which will take time to prove.

But there is no doubt that this blacklist provides a more intuitive choice for major film companies, compared with the screening method of closing the car and washing the sand, this list filtered by 80 film and television pre-development managers has become the company's number one choice.

Less than two weeks after the blacklist was announced, Chaos Pictures took the lead in announcing that the "Queen" project was officially approved and began to enter the screening process of directors and actors; Immediately afterwards, Tom Hanks announced that he had officially purchased the rights to shoot the script of "Charlie Wilson's War", and he would also enter the pre-production stage of the work; In addition, seven independent film companies have made initial contact for twelve different productions......

Hollywood has become lively in this hot summer because of the blacklist.

At the same time, many people in the industry have shifted their attention to the "Queen" project. Many people expressed surprise and puzzlement, because such a script does not look like a work that Lance would shoot at all, and the style of Lance's work has a rough sense of mixing on the street and a sense of affinity close to the earth, even in the "day after tomorrow", he also locks the main perspective on ordinary ordinary people. But now, the "Queen"? This is clearly the work of the British royal family, so is it possible that Lance intends to express his views on the aristocracy from the perspective of a commoner? This is really puzzling.

The official explanation from Chaos Pictures is that the "Queen" is negotiating a suitable director, and it seems that Lance has no intention of taking over. But insiders are skeptical – examples of "Sin City" and "Boy Scouts vs. Zombies" being confused are still fresh in our minds.

The hot July is coming to an end, and the summer heat has slowly settled down, and the Screen Actors Guild has received an actor recruitment message, "A girl between the ages of sixteen and eighteen, with short hair, a certain understanding of rock music, experience in stage plays, and the ability to accept the filming of bloody and violent scenes, thriller and suspense genre." The project information is very simple, the "Fruit Hard Candy" crew, with a budget of 600,000 yuan, Chaos Pictures.

Without going into too much detail, without detailed explanations, this is a small project of an independent film company from any point of view, and it is difficult to attract much attention. In particular, the budget amount is noted - this value is not a hard and fast rule that needs to be marked, but if it is, it means that the company is very clear about the budget arrangement, and it also means that the salary of the production will not be too high, and they must find suitable actors within a limited budget, which may greatly affect the motivation of the actors.

Alan Peggy walked into the hall of the Screen Actors Guild and looked around curiously, as a young actor who has achieved great results on the small screen in Canada, in the flowery world of Los Angeles, no one will pay attention to her existence, and she really realizes how wide the outside world is.

The receptionist at the door just now asked her if she had any intention of joining the Screen Actors Guild, and she took the information filling form, but she didn't rush to fill it out, but stood in front of the bulletin board and read the information on it carefully. There are at least hundreds of job postings for actors, and it's almost impossible to read them all, of course, she can complete the union registration and then ask the staff to search for matching auditions according to her criteria, but she still hesitates - is it really the right choice to leave Canada and go to Hollywood?

The bulletin board in front of her was red, green, blue, white, all kinds of different fonts, she was studying what these fonts meant, but she didn't have any clue, looked left and right, there were two staff members in front of him who were updating the information on the bulletin board, so Alan walked forward, ready to ask, and then heard their conversation.

"That's definitely a new work from Lance, and I'll bet you fifty dollars!"

"Why? Chaos Pictures didn't reveal any news. ”

"Stage Drama Experience!" The man who spoke first showed a smug smile, "If you think about it, the actor requirements of Sin City, the experience of stage plays, and Tom also mentioned this in previous interviews, Lance has an indescribable paranoia about stage performances, everyone knows that Lance was born in the West End of London, and some people speculate that he studied on Broadway for a long time......"

"Just spare me. It's just a theatrical experience, and you start guessing. What if, I mean, Lance is just a producer? Or is it that other projects of Chaos Pictures also hope that the actors can have solid stage experience? Don't forget, Chaos Pictures is Reims' company! I bet you a hundred dollars, this is not a project of Lance, a budget of six hundred thousand? You must be kidding me......"

"I'm sorry." Alan cautiously spoke, and the two staff members immediately stopped their discussion, turned their heads and smiled, "I wanted to ask, is there any difference between the colors of these fonts?" ”

"Oh, of course." The man who spoke first took the initiative to explain, "The red font means that the deadline is approaching, the blue font is the independent production, and the investment status is not yet determined, the green font represents the investment company, and the details can be found in the announcement, the white font is the recruitment information updated within three days, and the yellow font indicates that the production project is on hold, but the actor is still hiring." ”

Alan showed a sudden realization expression, she was going to nod her head in thanks, and then turn to leave, but after thinking about it, she still asked curiously, "Sorry I heard your conversation just now, I want to ask, which work are you discussing?" Is it likely to be a work directed by Lance? After a pause, Alan added, "This Lance is the same Lance who filmed 'City of God' and 'Murder with a Knife', right?" ”

"What we just discussed was just our own private speculation." Another person said, "There is no confirmation that the project was directed by Lance. "He has to clarify, otherwise something goes wrong and that's a remiss on their part.

"yes, it's Lance." The man next to him interjected, "We were talking about this work. The man pointed to a white font at the bottom of the bulletin board, which read, "Fruit Hard Candy", "However, our discussion is just our own speculation, and there is no further news from Chaos Pictures at this time." After saying that, he looked at his colleague, then approached Allen, lowered his voice and said, "But think about it, if you don't have a director, how can the casting begin?" ”

If it is a commercial film, such as "Troy", it is very normal to first determine that Brad Pitt will star in it, and then choose the director; However, if it is an independent film, the director is generally determined first, and then the director selects the actors.

"Todd, you must be joking with me." The little friend couldn't listen anymore, and directly rolled his eyes, with a speechless expression, but before he could continue, a fourth voice sounded next to him, "That's not necessarily." The three of them all turned their heads to look over, and then they saw a tall and burly man, his shiny bald head was very conspicuous, he stood in front of the billboard, looked at it carefully, and then said hello casually, turned around and left.

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.

"Who's that?" Alan asked, curiously.

"Terrance Cox, Top Agent." The man named Todd took the initiative to explain again, his expression looking very gossipy, "If you can hire him as an agent, the rest of the matter will be easier." However, it's a pity that not everyone can get into the innovative artist agency. ”

Allen didn't have much interest in Terrance and instead shifted his gaze again and landed on the announcement of "Fruit Hard Candy". She read those two short sentences more than a dozen times, and finally made a secret decision: whether the project is directed by Lance, and whether she wants to join Hollywood to develop her career in the future, she decided to participate in the audition for "Hard Fruit Candy" to see her ability, and then make a decision after trying.

At the same time, Terrance turned back to the front desk, confirmed that the new batch of actors he had just submitted had been registered, and then turned around and left the union. But then he took out his mobile phone and dialed the company's number, "Reims' new project is confirmed...... Yes, stage drama skills, bloody and violent scenes...... However, the budget is only 600,000, which is a bit suspicious, so let's inquire about the news...... I felt like we should go to the audition. ”

Reims is worth more than just a director or an actor, he is also an excellent screenwriter and producer, which means that Reims has an absolute quality guarantee for his work. As an agency, they don't need to think about the relationship between Chaos Pictures and other big studios, their primary target is always their own actors, and if they can work with Lance, the chances of success are indeed greatly increased. Therefore, compared to the film company, Lance is much more valuable to the agency.

The discussion within the Screen Actors Guild actually represents the discussion of industry insiders, Chaos Pictures has confirmed a project "Hard Candy" after "Queen", but this inconspicuous project has attracted more and more attention, and almost everyone is discussing: Is this a new work by Lance? Is this a new project for Lance after the crime trilogy?

At this moment, Lance has been treated at the level of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, and every move will attract the attention of industry insiders. (To be continued.) )
