Scene 690 The Godfather
Readx;?Top Recommendation:γγγγγγγ
The aura of an actor is never innate, but has to be professionally packaged and trained, and precipitated by various factors such as time, acting skills, status and fame, just like more than ten years ago, no one would think Charlize? Theron has a strong aura and is able to give the character that invisible and untouchable temperament. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Don't say that the aura is not important, the aura given to the character by an actor is enough to dominate the film.
Although she won the Oscar for Best Actress with "The Devil Woman" and stood firmly in the ranks of Hollywood's first-line actresses, whether it was or is now, Charlize? Theron is actually going the vase route.
Even in today's Hollywood, special effects are becoming more and more important to films, and the appeal of superstars is declining, but Charlize? Theron has come to his current position, and there are actually enough roles to choose from, a lot of projects, and the first actor to consider is also a star actor.
It is no exaggeration to say that in a certain period of time, there are more than a dozen roles for Hollywood superstars to choose from.
The kind of thing that throws scripts and characters makes A-list stars flock to it, just like a screenwriter throws out an original script, and Hollywood companies will grab the head.
Duke never has to be an actor, and in the same way, Hollywood superstars don't have to be a director......
Like Leonardo? DiCaprio, everyone knows he's hugging Martin? Scorsese's thighs, but he is also starring in films by other directors.
However, the cast of superstars and famous directors will attract more attention from the media and the public.
Actually, Duke is very clear, Charlize? Theron Ken agreed to lower his salary to star, first, his films are almost all box office bombs, and second, the subversive image role will make her tear off the label of the vase again.
And this role doesn't need to be deliberately ugly like the female devil, just a subversive performance is enough.
In the final analysis, an actor needs to maintain his first-line status, and go further, it is not enough to rely on charity or fashion to brush up on style, and even rely on winning the Oscar is not enough. The most important thing is business results.
If you want the film company to willingly offer a salary of $20 million, you must show your box office appeal.
The $20 million has never been as simple as money, but a symbol of status and status.
Like Will? Smith, Johnny? Depp and Tom? Cruise, the little golden man who has never won any acting awards. But would anyone deny their superstar status? Like Daniel? Wear? Lewis, Jeff? Bridges and other actors who have won the Golden Man but have not proven themselves in the market, even if they are fans, how many people think they are superstars?
Don't say that the acting skills are outstanding enough to be transcendent, everyone knows that Hollywood is a business circle.
Like Frank? Such a director in Darrabont, he made "The Shawshank Redemption". But he can't redeem his directorial career, not to mention those ordinary fans, in the Hollywood circle, he is almost completely forgotten by the studios.
Perhaps this kind of thinking is very utilitarian, and some people have criticized Duke for being too utilitarian and never knowing what art is.
But don't forget, this is America, a highly commercialized society; This is Hollywood, a very realistic vanity fair.
If you just hold on to the idea that art, and an incomparably naΓ―ve script can kill Hollywood companies and talent, it should be appreciated and be able to stand out. will only be swallowed by this circle of extremely fierce fighting and competition, and there will be no scum left.
Look at those well-known directors in Hollywood, which one has not rushed out of compromise and strife? Characters like Spielberg were also strangled by Hollywood's dream factory.
The script and character drawings of the new project have long been sent to Charlize? In Theron's hands, Duke returned to Los Angeles and originally wanted someone to find Tom? Cruise talks, only to receive an invitation to his party.
"Tom, this is ready to reveal the image of their little princess."
Receiving the invitation, Duke quickly guessed the true purpose of the party, and it was a blessing that a child was born into a family of stars. It's also a misfortune.
She was destined to be born with material treatment that others could not enjoy, but she had to grow up under the watchful eyes of the media and the paparazzi......
Although the law protects the rights and interests of all kinds of minors, it is unrealistic to expect the paparazzi to fully comply with the law.
Duke didn't expect it either. Because of him with Tom? Cruise's grievances are entangled, and Liang Tang ended up with Nicole? Kidman has come to this point, not only is he not divorced, but he also has a child.
And Duke got some gossip, Tom? For more than a year, Cruise had barely been involved in Scientology. There seem to be signs of wanting to disengage.
It's just that the Scientologists certainly don't want their signboard to attract believers to leave.
Rolls-Royce drove into Beverly Hills, around the southern slope of the rich and famous, Tom? Cruise's mansion is located next to the famous Hearst Manor, and Duke has been a regular here since working on Chicago.
The car stopped at the door, and immediately someone came and opened the door, Duke tidied up his suit a little, got out of the car, and walked into Cruise's mansion under the light of countless flashing lights.
Like Tom? It is impossible to keep news like Mr. and Mrs. Cruise Tim Ding secret, and the photo of the little princess is also the object of high bounties from many media.
It's a very personal party, can Tom? Cruise invited people who had a good relationship with him.
"Congratulations, Tom."
Walking into the ballroom, Duke precedes Tom? Cruise hugged him softly, and then asked, "What about our princess?" β
Hear Duke's quip, Tom? Cruise couldn't help but laugh and led the way, "Over here." β
In Tom? Led by Cruise, Duke made his way to a corner of the ballroom, where a crowd of people, especially women, gathered around a bassinet.
"Hi, Nicole."
Seeing the tall woman standing by the cradle, Duke gave another hug, "Congratulations." β
"Thank you." Nicole? Kidman was clearly in a very good mood.
How many other people should be Nicole? Kidman's friend, seeing Duke coming, quietly stepped aside, Duke stood by the cradle, bent down to look at the little baby inside, the little one who was only a few months old with blue eyes similar to his mother's, and was looking at him curiously at the moment.
"Hi dear." Duke grabbed her little hand and shook it, "My name is Duke, what about you?" β
Of course the little one won't answer, Nicole? Kidman said next to him, "Her name is Suri, Suri?" Kidman? Cruise. β
"Suri?" Duke's eyes couldn't help but turn to Cruise on the other side, "Tom, this can't be your masterpiece, right?" β
Tom? Cruise nodded, "Of course, that's my name." β
With all these years of cooperation, Tom? Cruise's relationship with Duke was also deepening, and he said unceremoniously, "I have discussed with Mary and want to ask you to be Suri's godfather." β
It's just the godfather, Duke muttered for a few seconds before agreeing, "No problem." β
Today's godfathers are no longer what they were at the beginning, but more like a symbol.
Wait for Duke to let go of the little one's hand and stand up, Nicole? Kidman added, "Suri would be happy to have a godfather like you. β
Who knew she had just said this, Suri? Cruise raised his voice and began to cry.
Duke and Tom? Cruise couldn't help but laugh at the same time, wait for Nicole? Kidman pushed her away and walked to the other side together.
"Don't have any work plans lately?" Duke said as he walked.
Tom? Cruise shook his head, "My main job now is to spend time with my family. β
"Looks like Mary isn't going to welcome me." Duke took two cups of soda from a passing waiter and handed one to Tom? Cruise, raising a glass to him, said before drinking, "Remember the collaboration we talked about last year?" β
"So you have a role for me in your new project?" Tom? Cruise's eyes lit up immediately.
Although other films have also achieved good results, his most popular is the "Mission Impossible" series, and no actor wants to tie his future and career to only one series of movies, and he is no exception.
Tom? Cruise looked at the ballroom where the agents had gathered and said, "I'm sure Pat won't stop me from taking your movie." β
Taking a sip of soda, Duke patted him lightly on the arm and said, "I'll have someone send the script over as soon as possible, and I'll have someone talk to Pat about the terms." β
"I'm looking forward to working with you again." Tom? Cruise held out his hand, and Duke slapped it on it, "Me too." β
Duke looked at the door of the banquet hall where another guest walked in, and said, "I won't delay you from entertaining the guests." β
With that, he walked alone to the rest table on the side, looked for a place to sit, and had just drunk the soda from his cup when someone came over to say hello.
"Hey, Duke, long time no see."
"Hi, Pat."
Duke stood up and shook her hand, gesturing to the seat opposite, "Sit as you like." β
Pat? Kingsley pulled out a chair and sat across from him, the Hollywood and Nancy? Josephson's famous female agent, of course, came to him not to chat.
"I just heard Tom mention that you invited him to join your new project?" She asked.
"That's right." Duke nodded slightly.
Pat? Kim Sili smiled and said, "I've been looking forward to your cooperation again." β
Duke smiled too, but didn't say anything, he believed Pat? Kingsley came here for more than just that.
"I heard that Nancy's ICM is poaching people everywhere." Pat? Jinsili didn't go around in circles, lowered her voice slightly, and said directly, "Duke, Leonardo?" DiCaprio is your friend, don't you want him to join ICM? (To be continued.) )
