The success of "The Magician" "first-class script + second-rate director and actor" can only be regarded as a special case, with the strong appeal of the original novel, the adapted film can still be too successful commercially. But the movie made is completely a copy of the novel, and there is no trace of the director's personal style in it. The movie "The Magician" has made several young actors popular, but it is estimated that few people will remember who the director of the film is.

Several of the big directors who received the letter of intent from Huayu were considering the same problem, a film that could not leave its own style imprint, even if it was a commercial success, was still a failure for themselves.

Just like mentioning "Zhu Xian", everyone will immediately think of Chen Feng, and when it comes to "Star Wars", people will always associate it with George. If people habitually ignore the director when it comes to a movie, then it is a tragedy for the director.

Huayu Headquarters, President's Office.

Li Haitao and Su Jie, the president of the distribution department, were both silent, the air seemed to be very tense, Su Jie tried his best to break this silent situation, deliberately trying to find something else to say, but the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't think of anything else.

He was so embarrassed that he was sweating and was really feeling a little hot now. If Li Haitao's assistant hadn't knocked on the door and walked in, he wouldn't know how embarrassed he would be.

The face of the office owner Li Haitao was also gloomy and terrifying, and he had not done anything smoothly during this time, so he was naturally in a bad mood. The assistant was afraid of angering his boss, so he had to carefully lower his voice when reporting the situation.

What he brought to Li Haitao was not good news. Huayu sent out more than a dozen letters of intent to invite, and most of them were rejected replies. Li Haitao was upset when he heard these news, and he waved his hand and motioned for his assistant to go out first.

"I don't understand what those so-called big directors are thinking in their heads, if they don't shoot with such an excellent subject, are their heads caught in the door panel?" Li Haitao complained to Su Jie.

"The more beautiful the bird, the more it likes to cherish its feathers!" Su Jie smiled bitterly. He can understand Li Haitao's current mood very well, "This is what Mr. Chen said, I think those big directors are worried that they will smash this film." The reputation he had worked so hard to build was ruined, so he didn't dare to try it lightly. ”

"You know, the filming investment of the film will not be lower than the "Zhu Xian" series. With such a huge investment, how could the company rest assured that such a film would be handed over to a general, and what if it was smashed by him? Li Haitao's worries are also the worries of Huayu's senior management, they have high expectations for the "Moonlight" series, and if the film fails at the box office, the loss will be unbearable for them.

Su Jie also felt that this question was indeed very tricky, "It can't be that the letters of intent you sent were all rejected, right?"

Li Haitao was silent for a moment, and said slowly, "Maybe there is another person!"

In DreamWorks, there is a person whose image and appearance are comparable to those of Einstein, or even more than that. Then he is either a madman or an unborn genius. Just as every coin has two sides, geniuses are destined to have a madman's side, and a madman is also destined to have a genius side. Burton is the perfect combination of this genius and madman.

Tim. Burton is known as the genius director of DreamWorks. Such a nickname is the special treatment that directors get under the box office guarantee, and there are very few people in today's DreamWorks who can get such a title. Uncle Ti's movie is full of black humor of gentleness and sadness, autism and tension, cold and warm. It's gorgeous in the gloomy, cruel in the warm, warm in the dark, a very weird world. …,

Tim dressed from head to toe in black. Burton likes to attract everyone's attention with exaggerated outfits and appearances. Speaking of Tim. Burton himself, one might think of his odd hat, hairstyle, costume, beard. As for Uncle Di's facial features, everyone has almost no impression. Because he deliberately hides behind his exaggerated appearance from beginning to end.

Since receiving the invitation letter from Huayu Company, Tim. Burton has been hesitating, the story of "Moonlight" reminds him of "Scissorhands", but this time the protagonist has changed from a robot to a vampire, and the stylistic characteristics of Gothic movies are becoming more and more obvious, and it can be said that this kind of theme is Uncle Ty's favorite.

Other directors are bound by the success of the original novel, but Uncle Ti is confident that he will shoot his own style based on the plot of the novel, and his only concern is the male lead.

Since the film rights of "Moonlight" were purchased by Huayu, the question of who plays the hero and heroine in the novel has been a topic of keen discussion and concern among readers. The choice of the heroine Bella is the most controversial, because different readers have different opinions on the understanding of this character, but in the selection of the hero vampire Edward, whether it is an online vote or a newspaper survey, the results are surprisingly consistent. That is Chen Feng, who is known as the most attractive man in the world.

Uncle Ti likes to use the actor he knows the most when making movies, compared to himself, Johnny who has the face of the sexiest man in the world in his movie. Depp captivated more general audiences. "Scissorhands" is a feature of Uncle Ty and Johnny. Depp's first collaboration, Depp's melancholy and gloomy temperament and unique way of speaking are considered by Uncle Ti to be the best gift from God to show his style.

They developed a good relationship through this film and since then Johnny. Depp frequently appears in Tim's movies. The two of them have formed the world-renowned golden ghost group, and for more than two decades, Tim Murphy has formed a world-renowned golden talent group. Bolton not only to Johnny. Depp taught the grotesque, and he also learned the grotesque from Depp. This kind of royal relationship between each other is hard to match in DreamWorks.

After receiving Huayu's invitation letter, Uncle Ti's first thought was his confidant Johnny. Depp, if Depp could be ten years younger, he would not hesitate to use him as the leading actor in the film. Johnny. Although Depp has been winning the title of the most popular actor, it is very difficult to compete with Chen Feng in this film, the key is that Chen Feng has a large number of loyal readers around the world through his works, and there is also the full support of a large number of young fans, who are a strong guarantee for the box office of the film. Huayu Company cannot be reluctant to go far, and the hope of using Depp as the leading actor is getting slimmer and slimmer.

For the hesitation of the male lead, let Tim. Bolton was slow to make up his mind. Before officially replying to Huayu, he decided to give Johnny . Depp made a phone call and asked for the other party's opinion first.

"You're going to take on 'Moonlight'?" The two of them are in constant contact on the phone, and there is no need for a pleasant greeting between conversations. Burton gets straight to the point, Johnny. Depp's questions were also straight to the point.

"A few days ago, it was just a plan, if I really become the director of that film, I'm going to let you play the leading role."

"Me?" Johnny on the other end of the phone. Depp was quite surprised, and he suddenly laughed: "You can't be joking, right?"

"But I'm serious!" Tim. Burton's tone was serious.

Johnny. Depp stopped laughing, was silent for a moment, and quickly made a decision: "That role is not suitable for me, Chen Feng is the most suitable actor in everyone's hearts." ”

Tim. Burton knows Depp very well, and the other party never talks around the bend with him, which is why he feels strange, "Even you are optimistic about that kid?" ”…,

"You forget, I'm also a fan of him, this young man is really good, if you are really interested in that movie, you can get in touch with him first, Chen Feng is a very interesting young man, I believe that after you have seen him, you will no longer insist on your current point of view."

Despite Johnny. Depp has a high opinion of Chen Feng, but Uncle Di is still skeptical, "I heard that there are a lot of problems with that guy!"

"Disadvantages and advantages are like two sides of a coin, and the many shortcomings just show that he is talented, and young people are always a little arrogant, of course, Chen Feng does have enough capital for him to be proud of. He is like an unruly wild horse, which is not something that ordinary directors can control. ”

Johnny. Depp knows Tim well. Burton, if the normal method cannot convince the other party, the agitation method can often have unexpected effects. When he said this, Uncle Di did have the urge to meet Lin Mingyang.

Tim in Los Angeles, Burton was on the phone to Johnny Brown. Depp learned a lot about Chen Feng, and in a café at the Hanggang Sword Art Academy, Chen Feng and Li Haitao were also talking about Tim. Mr bolton. Chen Feng and Tim. Burton, two people who had never met but paid attention to each other, talked about each other at the same time.

"Love Tim. Burton's films are all about lonely people, and I thought you wouldn't like his gloomy style. ”

From the heart, Chen Feng is very interested in Tim. As long as Burton can play at the same level as "Scissorhands", the plot story can form a very perfect fit with the director's style. Will Burton make this film too dark.

"You're the boss of this company, and you're also the highest candidate for leading actor. If Bolton agrees, he'll be the first to come to you. ”

Li Haitao did not make a mistake in judging the general direction. Bolton himself came to the door.

With long fluffy hair and weird black-rimmed glasses, these two things almost became Tim. Bolton's exclusive sign, he suddenly appeared at the door of Chen Feng's dormitory, without the slightest warning. (To be continued.)
