Chapter 423: Sperger
Wishing you all a Happy Year of the Snake and all the best in the new year!
"You're the same age as me, aren't you also nominated for Mesno?" Wells shook his head stubbornly: "Marie-Matline has been deaf since she was a child, but she won the Best Actress crown at the age of 21 with the film "Silent Love", and there is still a year to go, do you think it is possible for me to surpass her?" ”
"Marie-Matline is a special case, and the combination of the subject matter of that film and her special identity led her to that award." Chen Feng shook his head, he felt that Wells's idea was a little too strong, "Most of the Mesno actresses only picked up that trophy after they were 30 years old. And you have the age of youth and invincibility, this is your greatest capital. ”
"The second-youngest actress in the history of Mesno was almost thirty years old when she won the award, and you are only twenty-five years old now, and you still have a few years to go, of course you will say so." Chen Feng said with a smile.
"What about you?"
"Me?" Chen Feng was stunned for a moment and said, "My goal is not just the best actor. ”
Before Chen Feng finished speaking, she was interrupted by Wells, she winked at Chen Feng mischievously, and pretended to be serious: "Of course, if you still want to get the Best Actress trophy, you have to go for sex reassignment surgery." In fact, you don't need a lineup to charm a large number of men, and I'm optimistic about your potential, so that we can be good sisters. ”
Chen Feng was stunned and speechless for a long time, Wells smiled at him, and then pointed behind him, "Someone is coming this way." Looks like it's coming for you. I'll go first, and we'll talk about it later when I have a chance. ”
When she was done, she picked up her dress and flew away like a purple butterfly. Such a hurried gathering and leaving in a hurry, for some reason, Chen Feng's heart was inexplicably a little more melancholy. Before he had time to lament the impermanence of life, the great director Sperger had already come closer.
With a smile on his face, Sberg and Chen Feng shook hands. "We don't need to introduce ourselves, do we?"
"Of course" Chen Feng nodded, for a person of Sperger's level, no matter how brief a introduction is, it is redundant. It is estimated that there are people in the United States who do not know who the current president is. But there's no one who doesn't know Sperger.
"The one you were talking to just now is Miss Wells, who was shortlisted for Best Actress, right?" Sperger asked curiously, "I see you guys had a great time." But she seems to have left early, is it because I took the audacity to come here? ”
"We were just talking about some life topics, and she thought you might have something more important to talk to me, so she left early."
Spurg nodded, "If you see her next time, please be sure to convey my gratitude." ”
"No problem!"
"Well, the awards show is going to start soon, and we don't have much time left, so I'll try to make a long story short" Sberg didn't beat around the bush either, and said straight to the point: "Did you like watching Transformers when you were younger?" ”
"In the comics, when Optimus Prime died in battle. I've been sad for a long time" Whether it is in the past life or in this life, Chen Feng likes this comic very much. His understanding of the Autobots first started from the pictures that everyone took in their hands when they were children in his previous life, and then he came into contact with cartoons, and slowly became familiar with the huge system of the entire Transformers.
It is said that Sperger is also a Transformers fan himself. But he came to Chen Feng at this time, definitely not to discuss common interests with Chen Feng. As soon as he mentioned Transformers, Chen Feng had actually guessed his intention in his heart.
As early as July 2004, the two major DreamWorks companies, Warner and Paramount, announced that they had bought the rights to the film adaptation of "Transformers". It is said that Tom Dicinto, the executive producer and screenwriter of the "Men" series, once planned to shoot the movie version of "Transformers", but never got his wish. Compared with. It was still Sperger's face that persuaded Hasbro with his charisma to co-produce with Tom Decinto. …,
"I've been a big fan of the cartoon Transformers since it aired in the '80s, and I buy Transformers toys to play with. I've always wanted Transformers to be brought to the screen, and I'm glad that we've finally started working on the first Transformers. Now the script has been written, but the cast has not yet been decided. ”
Sperger's words stopped at this point, and he had been observing Chen Feng's expression during this time. He was sure that Chen Feng had guessed his intentions at this time, but the young man in front of him reacted more indifferently than he imagined, which made him more and more sure of his judgment.
After being silent for a while, seeing that Chen Feng didn't say anything, Sperger could only open his mouth to break the silence: "You are the most suitable actor in our minds, are you interested in trying it?" ”
"Since it's a Transformers, I think the real protagonist of the film should be a robot" Chen Feng didn't rush to reply to the other party, but discussed with Sporg about the filming concept of the film, "I want to know, how much proportion of human character performances in this film?" ”
Sperger's expression became solemn, he instinctively regarded the young man standing in front of him as an actor, and ignored that the other party was still an excellent screenwriter and a great director who was also not inferior to himself in fame, and the structure of the plot was Chen Feng's strength. This characteristic determines that Chen Feng will have more requirements than other actors in choosing roles.
"You're right, humans aren't really the main characters in the whole film, but your character will be the thread that connects the whole story, and all the stories will revolve around this character" Although he didn't direct it himself, Sberg knew no less about the film than anyone else.
"Transformers has a very rich, long history, and that's what drove us to make this film. There is no doubt that each of us has the same idea in mind, and we are all drawn to the myths that underpin this story. The most difficult thing to overcome in the human imagination of robots is that the audience has no idea what this particular story is about when they watch the film... So, my partners and I worked as quickly as we could to define the basic framework of the film: to make a work that highlights human nature. Both we and the fans have high expectations for this film, so we wanted to find the best directors and actors. ”
"In order to highlight the theme of humanity, the whole film is not only a big war between the Bo faction and the fanatics, but also human beings are involved in this war. The male protagonist in the film is particularly crucial. We need a leading actor who has a box office appeal, and the kind of young actor who is loved by fans. In the entertainment industry, I can't think of a second person who is more suitable for this important role than you. ”
"I know you're an actor who is very careful in choosing roles, and I have a strong feeling that we should be the same kind of people" The time for the awards ceremony was approaching, and the guests waiting outside the venue had already begun to enter one after another, and Sperger had to end the conversation with a full heart.
Spirger has a rare seriousness about the theme of "Transformers", and he strives to be perfect in every link. There were only two people who really interested him, and one of them was Chen Feng.
Although Sberg showed great sincerity, Chen Feng did not express his position immediately, and his hesitation at this time could be seen from his eyes. And another person who makes Sberger "favored" him directly does not buy Lao Si's account. The guy even declared that the live-action movie of Transformers was nothing more than a "stupid toy movie".
Persburg was not discouraged, they were going to visit the base of Hasbro in Rhode Island next week, this trip was mainly to convince the guy who refused to buy it, and at this time, the old Sberger even sent out an invitation to Chen Feng. …,
There is a deeper reason for this, that is, what kind of sparks will collide when these two guys, who are known for their arrogance in the entertainment industry, get together. If the two don't get along very well, he has to consider giving up one of them, which of course is the last thing he wants.
"You mean... Was this visit specially arranged for us? A strange look flickered in Chen Feng's eyes, "I'm curious, besides me, who else does this 'we' include?" ”
"You should be familiar with that person," Chen Feng took the initiative to ask this question, and Sperger nodded with satisfaction, "He is Michael Bay, an excellent director." ”
――――
Sitting in the front row are the finalists of the Grand Prix and the photographer's favorite crowd to do the most is to capture the familiar faces of the stars in the crowd. When they see the camera pointed at them, most people can only suppress their nervousness in their hearts and show a polite smile on their faces. Everyone's expressions were cooperative, except for one guy.
Chen Feng, who was sitting in the middle of the front row, had been holding his hands since he sat down, his eyes were sinking, and he had a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something, and his attention was not on the stage in front of him at all.
The award ceremony started in a hilarious way, the narrator of the stage claimed that many famous hosts could not come, and then tonight's real host John Stewart finally appeared, he was lying in bed, next to Harry Berry, and then suddenly replaced by George Clooney, they all persuaded him to come and host the awards, which can be considered a very interesting start.
In order to soothe the nervous nerves of the nominee, the host John Stewart, who had just gotten up from the "hospital bed", couldn't wait to show his humor. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
