Chapter 891: Ready to Move
Not just Simon? Peggy and Daniel? Craig, Michael? Fassbinder and Hugo? Vivian also wants to make a cameo in the film, the role is not important, the important thing is that they, Star Wars fans, can really participate in the film. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Not to mention these Hollywood movie stars, even some members of Congress have sent letters to Lucasfilm, hoping that they can also participate in the filming, even if it is just masked stormtroopers.
As long as it doesn't affect the shooting, Duke will not let go of such a good opportunity to sell favors.
Although the work of the crew has been kept strictly confidential, with the start of large-scale auditions, some related news will inevitably circulate and become the focus of entertainment media reports, which is also beneficial, even "Star Wars 7", which pursues a secrecy strategy to arouse the interest of Star Wars fans around the world, also needs publicity and warm-up.
Producer Lucasfilm and distributor Warner Bros. have also developed detailed promotional strategies with the media they work with.
"Instant sharing news, "Star Wars 7", which is scheduled to start filming in April this year, is currently stepping up casting. At present, a person familiar with the matter has revealed the news that in the 'New Star Wars' story, Luke? Skywalker's son, Princess Leia, and Han? Solo's daughter will be the protagonist. It was previously rumored that based on the background of the current popularity of teen movies, director Duke? Rosenberg and his team want to make Star Wars 7 go the youthful route, and a female Jedi will become the heroine, and it seems that the news is going to come true. ”
At present, many female actors are already auditioning, and it is rumored that one of them has already read the script, she has starred in "Perfume", "American Strange Talk", "Peter? Pan" and other films of the British girl Rachel? Harwood. In terms of the actor, the handsome British guy Alex? Pattifer is the most likely winner, having starred in films such as "Wild Child", "Key Number 4", "Beastie Boy" and others. Both of them are post-90s, and their common characteristics are that they are members of the Foreign Trade Association, youth idols, and outstanding acting skills among actors of the same age. ”
"According to yesterday George? Lucas's revelations, 'Han? Captain Solo's Harrison? Ford, 'Luke? Skywalker's Mark? Hamill and 'Princess Leia' Kelly? Fisher has also signed a contract to agree to return, but he has no right to decide the specific role arrangements of the three. Does it depend on the director, Duke? Rosenberg's idea. ”
"The Star Wars 7 script was written by Duke? Rosenberg wrote it himself, and Lawrence, the screenwriter of "Star Wars 2: The Empire Strikes Back" and "Star Wars 3: Return of the Jedi"? Castle Dan and Simon, the screenwriter of "Sherlock Holmes"? Kimberg served as script consultant. In terms of soundtracks, the composer of the first six Star Wars, John? Williams has confirmed his return. Also, Duke? Rosenberg also put his royal photographer John ? Schwarzman pulls into the Star Wars team. The entire production of "Star Wars 7" was filmed using IMAX technology. ”
"Duke? When Rosenberg bought Lucasfilm, it was clear that he had to make good use of its resources. In addition to the first "Star Wars 7", "Star Wars 8" and "Star Wars 9" are also in preparation, and one is planned to be released every two years. In addition, Lucasfilm also plans to make a separate Star Wars side film. Released in the middle of the '7-8-9 trilogy', it also means that Lucasfilm releases one movie related to "Star Wars" every year. ”
Since the announcement of the preparation for "Star Wars 7", there has been almost no "conclusive" and "certain" official news. Both the media and the fans who are paying attention are tormented by endless rumors and casting possibilities.
The appearance of this news report instantly attracted the attention of countless people, but it also caused dissatisfaction among some veteran die-hard Star Wars fans, and the commercial flavor of such a high-frequency Star Wars movie is self-evident, and these people are worried that Duke's overly commercial move will ruin the series.
But Duke's acquisition of Lucasfilm cost a huge sum of more than four billion dollars. It is the nature of commercial capital to chase profits, and it is impossible for him to just sit back and watch this treasure trove of wealth slowly recover the cost of investment after getting the Star Wars series.
The dollar is depreciating, and the cost of time is also part of the cost.
As for whether it will squeeze the potential of the Star Wars series too much, Duke is not worried, as long as the movie guarantees a certain quality, these are not problems, and the few "Star Wars" he set up and filmed, even if they are worse, will not be worse than the "Clone Wars".
Duke simply ignored the voices. It's just going all out to prepare for this "Star Wars 7".
He first talked to Harrison? Ford met, as reported in the media, and after a difficult negotiation, Harrison? Ford finally signed a big name on the actor contract for Star Wars 7. Lucasfilm paid $20 million for this, and the only thing that can make Duke happy is that in front of the huge salary of $20 million, Harrison? Ford and his agent eventually compromised, and the contract signed between the two parties did not involve any shares.
Paying $20 million to hire an actor is a rarity in Duke's films. There are only three people who have ever taken this salary figure from his films in the past - Tom? Cruise, Charlize? Theron and Leonardo? DiCaprio.
There is always a bias in people's hearts, and the relationship between the latter three and Duke is not a simple business cooperation, Tom? Cruise is his partner, and his daughter is his goddaughter; Charlize? Theron and Leonardo? DiCaprio is one of the few friends in his circle; And Harrison? Ford, not much to do with his past.
Lucasfilm is going to shoot more than just a Star Wars 7, if Han? As Solo continues to exist, Duke is bound to pay more in the future, something neither he nor Lucasfilm wants to see, so Duke fine-tunes the existing script.
And the result of this adjustment is to directly transfer Han? Solo kills ......
Maybe there will be fans complaining or even cursing after the film is released, but in the face of commercial interests, these are not things.
Besides, the entire Star Wars story is the history of the grievances and hatreds of the Skywalker family, Han? It was only natural for Solo to be killed by his own son, a descendant of Skywalker.
The members of the Skywalker family could not resist the temptation of the dark side of the Force and threw themselves into the dark side; On the other hand, the members of the Skywalker family represent the light side of the Force to save the galaxy, which is actually an overview of Star Wars.
Then again, is the Force Anakin? A great gift from Skywalker to future generations.
According to Duke's understanding of the Eastern way of thinking, the Force is very mysterious, not very easy to say, according to the "living encyclopedia" Pablo recognized by Star Wars fans? Hidalgo's packaging, the Force is described as a kind of energy field that only life has, and there is an atmosphere where all beings are equal - those who bear the Force are not necessarily Jedi.
There are many rules for the Jedi, and in the past, when the scenery was good, the setting up of tents and teaching apprentices paid attention to form: the elders had to inspect the goods, and the apprentices had to be obedient.
This level is really sad, and Anakin is a genius who is still rejected as "too old"; After the fall of the Jedi, the older young Luke was still taken under his wing.
As we all know, the Force is divided into two sides, dark and light.
In today's Hollywood game rules, the bad guys can often determine the success or failure of a blockbuster, and the success and glory of the "Star Wars" series cannot avoid Black Knight, Darth? Moore, Count Dooku, and Palpatine's contributions to the galactic epic.
Aside from not being immortalized as a Jedi Heroic Spirit, the dark side of the Force looks more appealing than the light side.
In Duke's setting, "Star Wars 7" is darker than the "Star Wars" trilogy, and even surpasses "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith", although the villain in the setting is very different from Luke's son in the news, but he is also a member of the Skywalker family, and Duke also deliberately found him the right pair of hero parents.
Of course, there will still be two main villains, which is related to Star Wars' setting of the Sith.
According to Lord Darth of the Sith? Bane's "rule of two" allows apprentices to exchange for money - such as Darth? Did Sidious have Darth by his side? Moore, Count Dooku, and Anakin - but only two people can team up, so there must be someone behind the scenes besides the villains of the Skywalker family.
As for the representative of the bright side of the original force in the film, it is naturally the heroine, who is also the first real female Jedi Master.
Like Luke? Like Princess Leia, Skywalker is a female Jedi Master from a famous family, and in the Star Wars films, inheritance is very important.
The preparations are being carried out in an intense and orderly manner, compared with previous films, Duke pays more attention to the casting of "Star Wars 7", and he will never let the "Star Wars Prequel" trilogy be Haicheng? Christensen and Natalie? The tragedy of an actor like Portman repeats itself.
Especially the male and female protagonists, only he has the right to decide on the choice of actors for these two roles.
Rachel in the media? Harwood, who was kicked out by Duke after her first audition, has a decent image and acting skills, but her height is an issue.
Duke's ideal heroine candidate must be at least about five feet seven inches tall and not too slender and thin.
Those skinny bamboo-like actresses playing a powerful female Jedi are not convincing in any way.
Since the title and characters of "Star Wars 7" are in the stage of secrecy, the audition leaflets issued by the crew in the media and circles are all pronouns.
For example, the male and female protagonists who will be selected are codenamed "" and "" respectively, and they are all young people around 20 years old.
Although they are all pronouns, Hollywood has a mature agency system, and it is not difficult for these actors and agents to find out that this is the hero and heroine of "Star Wars 7", and they are very clear about what such a role can bring.
Due to the natural limitations of their roles, actresses from the five English-speaking countries of the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are undoubtedly the most advantageous, and actresses from these places are also ready to move. (To be continued.) )
