Marxism teaches us that there is a universal connection between things...... Well, Jenny won't memorize it in the future, but after all, she is a native of the East with a special education, and some of the words in the politics class are still in her heart, and as time goes by, it is more and more proven to make sense, just like the producers of "Monroe", she and Cesare originally thought that it would be difficult to build a high-level team, but they did not expect to benefit from "Michael. The crew changes of Clayton, and the leakage of those performance materials, it all suddenly became so much easier. Soderbergh, Sidney. Pollack and the two superdirectors have both expressed interest in the project, and with her current attention, it may not be difficult to build an Olympic-level film team. And after the external difficulties dissipate, the only obstacle is nothing more than this: how should she pick people now that the candidates are almost arbitrary? What kind of project does she want to make "Monroe"?

Copying is not the answer - although it is planned to shoot with this material, but that is only because after 2,000 years, only this one of the biopics with Monroe as the theme has made a splash, Jenny does not have a high evaluation of the quality of the original film, "A Week with Monroe" has advantages: it reproduces the style of the 60s, shoots the young Colin's youthful heart, and the faint melancholy of the teenager's youth, and the relationship between him and Monroe is also handled very poetically, very elegant, and some of everything is self-evident, but in addition, "Monroe" 's triviality and insipidity are too strong, plus although Michelle's acting skills are extraordinary, her appearance is really not related to Monroe, Jenny is sometimes brought in by acting skills when she watches, and sometimes she is a little embarrassed and phobic, so in the end, it doesn't feel good to watch the movie, the integration of artistry and commerciality is very general, and the artistry itself is too rare and too light, this film finally failed to win an award at the Olympic Awards, Michelle is just a public relations nomination, Jenny thinks that this result is still relatively fair.

In terms of her appearance as Monroe, Jenny thinks that acting will not be too much of a problem, after all, she has a golden finger protector, and another important role, Lawrence. Oliver, she's going to follow Kenneth. Branagh, the prince of the British drama and film industry, is a representative of the classical school and the expressionist school, which can form an impact contrast with Jenny's experiential school, which well shows that Monroe is incompatible with the British set, but the director Jenny has no answer yet, the most important thing is to find the original director, create a film close to the quality of the original version, and rely on her own performance to rush to the nomination, the best is of course to adapt it according to her intentions, anyway, she is fully invested in this play, and the right to speak is close to full, which can be tailor-made, You can have whatever style you want. - But the question is what style she wants.

Is it the original that doesn't hurt or itch? Dealing with Monroe's sleep disorders and mental problems like a breeze? Like a teenager's dream? Or do you look at Monroe through the eyes of a teenager? Or do you drastically cut Colin's role, focus on Monroe's dangerous life, and treat the whole film as a reflection of Monroe before her complete fall and chaos, so that her chaos is more embarrassing and impactful? And then the tone of the whole film is a little darker?

This is actually the difficulty of the whole producer's work, leveling out all aspects may not be anything for a familiar hand, but such a choice no matter how great a producer must encounter - if a good subject meets a bad idea and finds the wrong director, it may bring heartache and embarrassing failure, every choice of the producer is of great significance, especially for Jenny, a greedy producer, she not only wants artistry, but also wants commerciality, not only wants to enhance her own play space, I also want to coordinate the performance of each role, and I hope to finally produce a perfect artistic masterpiece in all aspects, rather than a commercial work that has advantages and disadvantages after careful consideration and calculation. If you produce a film with this mentality, you will have no choice. - What's worse is that this kind of thinking and choice is destined to be her own business, and no one will understand her mental process of making a choice without explaining the previous summary, and Jenny can only use her limited experience in the industry for several years to complete the thinking, judgment, and selection of directors. And now that she has a deeper understanding of the film industry, she is no longer as ignorant and fearless as she was when she tried to adapt "The Devil Wears Prada", and she is very aware that in the absence of a senior producer, she is now like a child wielding a sledgehammer, and she may lose control at any time.

Pressing down her uneasy thoughts, Jenny smiled sincerely at Arthur, and invited him to follow his train of thought, "I don't know if you've read the original, Arthur, but the two memoirs of "Monroe" are a bit too light for film adaptations, focusing more on the film industry in the 60s and Colin's own inner world, however, Colin is not a very contradictory character, I personally think that the movie should be adapted appropriately, so that Monroe's dream image in Colin's memories and in reality-"

Jenny shrugged her shoulders, "Life like a train tragedy, find a balance." ”

"Very interesting point," it was evident that Arthur genuinely agreed with Jenny's train of thought, and he grimaced, "You want to downplay the traces of Colin himself, make him more of a symbol of the audience, and use his perspective to reveal Monroe's life - to make him more involved, right?" ”

"It's true, I don't want to see a few sides of the flash, I want to dig deeper, to put Monroe's struggles, her struggles with genetic mental illness -- she and Arthur. Miller's mutual attraction and inability to get along are both filmed. Jenny said enthusiastically that this was indeed her true words, Monroe was the real person she had the most empathy with, she had some special feelings for her, and even Jenny felt that she knew her like nothing else, and she doubted that there was anyone in the world who could know Marilyn as well as her. Monroe, get to know this lonely, fearful and broken soul behind the mask of a big star.

But for the sake of the market, she can't show all of this completely, not even for the sake of artistry, after all, it is a documentary to present a person's life truthfully, and the material of an art film must be selected, beautified and cut, and Monroe's real life may be too dark and chaotic for most people, Jenny continued to analyze thoughtfully, "But I don't want it to be too dark and too real, just to choose a proper entry point in the dreamy distortion and cruel reality, just like "Pan's Labyrinth", We can get in and out, and of course we can't just come to Gilmour. Toro came to be a director, he was a little too particular about form, the habit of commercial films is difficult to change, he is more suitable for fantasy themes, and he has never made biopics......"

By the end, she was already sorting out her thoughts, but Arthur keenly grasped the information leaking from Jenny's words, "Ah, so you haven't chosen a director yet?" Jennifer? ”

"The script is still in the writing stage," Jenny didn't answer directly, but just mentioned, "It's not enough to satisfy me, so yes, we can't find a director on a large scale, and Sidney is not in good health, and Steven is busy with Ocean's Thirteen, and I don't think he is suitable to direct "Monroe." ”

She didn't reveal that she had talked to Soderbergh about some of her ideas, and the two didn't talk about it. This kind of thing is generally a secret by default before the film is released, and it is not good to talk about it casually.

"The temper of a big director is generally not very good." Arthur said, and he quietly took himself in - "Especially since you are very in control of this project, we better find you a young director with a good temper, it will make your communication smoother." ”

Generally speaking, producers rarely get so deep in the production process, and the division of labor with the director is still very clear, but the film "Monroe" was established by Jenny herself, all the rights are in her hands, and the money is also her own, she must hope that the film can finally be consistent with the effect she needs, rather than handing over the book to the big director and letting them play. Jenny smiled, and did not puncture Arthur's careful thoughts: compared with the United States, Britain has always been synonymous with good quality and low price, and directors and actors from the United Kingdom are generally more professional, good at communication and cherish opportunities, so she doesn't mind letting Arthur come forward to thread the needle for her and find some good directors. After all, what Arthur said also makes sense, directors with smaller coffee positions may have a higher degree of cooperation and a stronger spirit of service. is not like a director, I want to cooperate with her more because I like her acting skills, and it is the director who shapes her and uses her, rather than the two working together.

"It's all okay to sit down and talk," she said, "and of course we can do it at the same time, and we can first decide on the basic cast, like Lawrence. Oliver and Vivien Leigh and, of course, most importantly, Colin . Clark, Arthur, I need you to come up with the most suitable person, don't be perfunctory - I don't care about fame, I just need acting and character fit, he wants to play against me and not fall into disadvantage, of course, his temperament has to match the introverted and young aristocratic boy seamlessly, in short, when we start auditioning, I want to see such a group of young people with potential, not those lackluster connections. ”

"Of course." Arthur agreed, he looked confident, and he smiled and rolled his beard, "I've started reading the original book a second time - I'll be sure to give you the best Colin for you, trust me, Jennifer." ”

In "A Week with Monroe", the most prominent roles are Monroe, Colin and Lawrence. Redmayne may no longer be suitable to play, after all, he is only 24 years old now, and he is still in the stage where he has just stepped into the entertainment industry and started to experience, and his acting skills may be very different from a few years later. Branagh, his acting skills have reached maturity, and it doesn't matter if he was a few years earlier or a few years later. And Lucy, the costume assistant who had a relationship with Colin, was also involved because of Emma. Watson is still young, and he may also need to be cast, but the changes in these supporting roles will not affect much, and the most important thing is the change of the script and the choice of director.

The conversation with Arthur was just one of Jenny's many conversations this month, and she would have to meet Jennifer next. Aniston, talk to her about the benefits of paying out of pocket for the nomination, of course, it will also have a certain positive impact on "Old Friends Are Rich", in addition to being the role of "Michael. An important producer of the Clayton series, she also has a lot of work to do as Lewis's day of joining the group draws closer......

In the midst of a dizzying array of social invitations, interspersed with the work of a producer, Jenny struggled to keep herself grateful: fortunately, the "Avatar" project was still grinding and she hadn't come to participate, otherwise she would have more and busier things to do. Even so, Jenny was relieved when Lewis's plane landed at LAX Airport, and she couldn't wait to duck back into Karen's body and start her career as a pure actress again......
