Chapter 292: Girlfriend? Friend!
"The Social Network" ended with three statuettes, and this result can only be said to be a good loss, mainly because of the defeat of the opponent in Best Picture and Best Actor - although Daniel is considered the most unlikely nominee to win the award, but as a two-time Oscar winner, his strength is of course the actor who "deserves" to win the award, not to mention, in "The Social Network", Daniel has gone from an ignorant technical otaku to a business elite step by step, from a naïve partner to a sharp opponent, The depth of the depiction can be said to be a great breakthrough, more complete than his previous works, at least in this completeness, surpassing "The Pianist" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", Spearman's moving lies in his symbiosis with disaster, and the meticulous depiction of the strange resonance between the big era and the small people. Jack. Sparrow's award is entirely due to Daniel's multi-layered interpretation of a fictional character, creating an unparalleled visual charm that is enough to make Captain Jack a classic film image that will leave a famous film in film history.
In "The Social Network", Marc. Vaughn's role, strictly speaking, also belongs to the experiential performance method, but unlike "The Pianist", he emphasizes more on his own transformation process, rather than the integration and resonance with the social era. There is no way to make a strict comparison between the two performances, but what is certain is that Mark. Vaughn is also an Oscar-level performance, so Daniel's loss of the Oscar for a "well-known" reason is still somewhat regrettable.
This makes this year's Oscar winner Jamie. Fox was a little upset. There's no denying the value of the trophy in his hand – although he's clearly glad Daniel was made to the draw before the draw. Jamie can be regarded as one of the most high-profile black stars in Hollywood in recent years, and Jamie, who straddles the two worlds of music and film, has indeed attracted much attention. This year's Oscars, he is also the most talked-about nominee, for the simple reason that Julian at the 75th Oscars. Moore, like him, was shortlisted for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor at the same time. Of course. The difference is that Jamie was luckier than Julian. Moore missed both mentions when Daniel won his first Oscar for "The Pianist". A group of little golden figures did not win it, but Jamie did not fall short, and successfully took the heaviest actor home.
Despite losing to "Million Dollar Baby" in Best Picture and Jamie in Best Actor. Fox, but with the best editing, the best soundtrack. Especially for David. Fincher won an Oscar for Best Director, and it can't be said to be a loss in any way.
This is already a 300 million box office movie, and the other nominees have not even broken 100 million.
The benefits can't be taken away by "The Social Network", which is also a balancing act, awards can promote the box office, of course, it takes the side of the fierce box office numbers to be more interested in the awards.
What's more, the most important purpose of the early release of "The Social Network" is not the box office or the Oscars, whether it is the income of more than 100 million yuan brought by the 300 million box office, or the three Oscar statuettes are an unexpected gain.
Although said that for David. Finch. This "windfall" is indeed a touching gift package.
Fincher's films have always been known for being "unconventional", whether it's the gloomy darkness of "The Seven Deadly Sins" or the horror and violence of "Fight Club," which has forged his extraordinary reputation — and this time, the Oscars crowned him with "The Social Network," which is somewhat ironic. In directing The Social Network, his camera language is extremely sharp and sharp – important for a novel subject matter, and equally agile in rhythm like a dance of elves, with a plain and inexplicable delicacy.
Until the time I saw the finished film. Daniel realized that he had made a mistake this time.
If it was David five years later. Finch, I'm afraid he has been in the cage that everyone has set for him for too long, and that gloomy weirdness is deep in the bone marrow, when facing a theme like "The Social Network". There is no way to give the most suitable understanding, interpretation and expression. Therefore, the original film is far from being compared with the current "The Social Network" - because of the huge difference at the box office, not only because of fans' curiosity about the social age, but also because of David. Vinci's even greater talent.
In Daniel's view, Finch is actually a director with a wide range of talents, and he is very talented in the common talents that many filmmaking needs. It's not a good thing to blindly go to a film like "The Seven Deadly Sins", and the road will get narrower and narrower. Martin. Scorsese has Miramax to "help and abuse" him, David. Finch has only one Brad. Pete, not to mention, there is no way to compare Finch's talent in this field to Scorsese.
……
"How did you read the script, are you interested?"
Finch put down the whiskey, and Daniel had a conversation with him after the Oscars, and this conversation was not small for him.
So when he got the script handed over by DD Pictures, he hesitated slightly, this is not a script he particularly likes, but maybe it is a script that suits him very well, today he came over while Daniel was in Los Angeles on the weekend, obviously he had already decided, otherwise Daniel would not have asked in person.
"What? Want to create a movie for your new girlfriend? Finch looked at the newspapers on the table with a teasing face, the largest of which was Daniel, Natalie, and Scarlett. ”
Ignoring his quip, Daniel reached out and swiped across the newspaper before finally stopping under a row of large letters.
"David. Finch's little gold man, is it honor or mockery? ”
With a chuckle, Daniel looked at Finch's expression, "How do you feel?" ”
"If it's a taunt to the little golden man, then I really wish Oscar would taunt me every year."
"Haha, the same wish." Daniel paused, as if considering whether to talk about it, "Natalie was chosen for this role just because she's a good fit, what do you think?" An elegant ballet dancer with a split personality, she's a good fit, isn't she? ”
"You're right, I think so too."
This is clearly a sign of attitude that he is willing to direct this work.
"Black Swan"!
"But when are you going to start? I think it's time to take a break. I'm not like you, I'm already an old bone. ”
Fincher, who was born in 62, is 44 years old this year, and he is not old in the list of well-known Hollywood directors. Of course, most of the people who can speak in front of Daniel are much older than Daniel, and there is no way.
"Rest assured, you can rest for months."
Finch was stunned. Although he said that he wanted to rest, he was also ready to start work soon, and according to Daniel's model worker habits, once the project is confirmed, it should not seem to be delayed for long. However, he quickly reacted that DD Pictures' production and distribution capacity is limited, he knows that "Saw 2" is already in production, there is a "Hangover" in the post-production stage, "The Immortal Gardener" is an established plan, and DD Pictures has a small production co-production with Fox that DD Pictures has long determined. As a result, DD Pictures does not have the ability to allocate resources to "Black Swan". Then most likely, if DD really wins MGM, "Black Swan" may be his move after becoming MGM.
Daniel clearly has high hopes for the project, or rather for how it will perform at the Oscars.
In fact, he wanted to make this film because he knew the plot of this film very well - his ex-girlfriend in his last life was a ballet major in Northern Dance, and he watched it many times, and his girlfriend was crazy about Natalie. Portman plays Nina, who doesn't have any special feelings for this Hollywood quality idol. Of course, to Lindsay. Of course, Luo Han's kind of him won't have a good impression.
So, copy out the script of the film, for him. It's not very difficult, you must know that even if rebirth comes with the bonus of memory skill points, it is not so easy to copy the script of a movie, it must be a movie that he has watched many times. But fortunately, he turned out to be an actor too, and he always had the habit of watching movies repeatedly. After all, it is more meaningful for him to figure out the characters and plot than to watch movies, and Hollywood, as the undoubted center of the film industry, is of course the destination for him to collect grain and grass.
When Daniel handed over the script, he also mentioned his own list of actors, Natalie. Portman, Verona. Ryder, Amanda. Seyfried and Vincent. Castle.
Among these people, Finch has agreed with Natalie, and she is indeed very suitable for this role - if it weren't for this, Natalie would not have been able to become the first post-80s Oscar actress back then, mainly because the fit between the character and herself is too high. Every lucky star will meet the most suitable character for him, and to some extent, if he wants to become famous as a teenager, except for a supernatural situation like Daniel, he can only hope to meet a character like this.
Nina in "Black Swan", for Natalie. Portman is one such opportunity.
The second female number one is Amanda's character Lily - Daniel is very familiar with this name, and the first lesson he learned English was the story of Lily and Lucy, and of course Li Lei and Jack, so when he came up with the script, he laughed inexplicably, which made Ferguson quite inexplicable at that time. Amanda has actually told him many times that she wants to work with him once - after she became the new idol with "Mean Girls". Although Daniel will not star this time, this one was originally starred by Mira. The role played by Kunis is actually very suitable for Amanda, she has a ballet foundation and her acting skills are not very weak, but the ultimate reason is that she is a popular youth idol and can adjust the feeling that this movie gives the audience - it will not be so gloomy.
Daniel never thought of "Black Swan" as black - yes, it was full of soul-splitting, hallucinatory elements, but it wasn't the gloom that Fincher loved so much, it was actually an imaginative film that tested the camera's expression.
As for Verona and Vincent, neither of them is the central characters, the former is famous for Tim. Burton cooperated to start his acting career, and even participated in the third part of "The Godfather", he is a senior young actor with strong acting skills and a suitable supporting role. Vincent. Cassel is also a French César Award winner, which is enough to cope with the demand for films. In general, there is no need to touch them.
Of course, if Finch disagrees, it can be adjusted, and they still have plenty of time.
……
"It's been a really long time since we've sat down for a drink."
Daniel didn't expect to receive Paul. Walker's invitation -- in fact, their early friendship has faded considerably. With Paul's personality, it is actually difficult for him to take the initiative to get to Daniel, who is in the middle of the day. He has such a personality, which is rare in Hollywood, and when he is better known than Daniel, he will be willing to call Daniel brothers, but when the status of the two sides flips, this willingness no longer exists.
In fact, Daniel himself did not manage this friendship well, and in the past few years, he really did not put making friends in a position that required time and energy.
"You're too busy."
Paul had a gentle smile, he had become a father a long time ago, and his whole body was different from Daniel's, bathed in the light of a father—not like Daniel, who was radiant.
There are some friends, even if they haven't talked for a long time, once they meet, it's easy to talk and have a good time.
It's been a long time since Daniel has spent so much time on small talk, and it feels good.
"Not in a good mood? Is it because of the third part of "Fast and Furious"? ”
"Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo Drift" has been confirmed to start filming this year. Walker and Fan. Diesel and the two are not worth much now, and the filmmaker only wants to keep one, so they chose Diesel, but they were released by Diesel pigeons. So the third part doesn't have both Paul and Diesel - which is a bit bold for a series.
Paul has worked hard in Hollywood for many years, and there is only such a series that people can remember, and now that it has been mentioned, there is no need to say more about depression, although he is not short of scripts, it is strange that there have been no works worth mentioning over the years, and of course there are reasons why he is not motivated.
"Aren't there any new plans?"
"There are some, but they are not very good, forget it, don't talk about work." Paul looked at Daniel with emotion, "Dan, I really didn't expect that when we were filming "School Blues", how could we have thought that in just a few years, you would have today's results, not to mention yourself, even we all think it's incredible." I was talking to Ellie the other day, and I was talking about you -- you're going to buy MGM! Oh, God. (To be continued.) )
