Chapter 363: Princess Karen
Shortly after the release of "Red Alert", Alex returned to the solid state and left the series to other directors and writers at DreamWorks, and he didn't care about what happened next.
Such an approach made Morris sigh a pity.
He thought that Alex would continue to shoot the third part, but as soon as he completed the second part, there was no follow-up, which made people itch to watch, just like the readers who followed the online article in later generations encountered the eunuch article.
Thankfully, it didn't take long for Alex to come up with a new idea: "I'm going to shoot Star Wars, and the script is already written!" Start choosing a character now! ”
Morris, who is the president of DreamWorks, was overjoyed when he heard this: "Where's the script?" Casting? What are the appropriate characters in it? I'm going to play one too! ”
When the news of Alex's preparation for a new film broke, it immediately caused a nine-degree hurricane in Hollywood, making many actors ready to move. Those actors who already have films on them may be better, and they can only send agents to DreamWorks to inquire about the news, while those actors who are in the gap period suddenly flock to DreamWorks, hoping to squeeze into the audition list, no matter what role.
It's inevitable, Alex has long proven his influence in Hollywood!
Since he directed and filmed his first film "The Sound of Music", the actors in every movie have been given great opportunities, and after the release of the movie, they have become hot and famous actors from unknown little people. It's much more effective than a carp jumping over the dragon gate, those actors who are famous or not yet famous, as long as they have something to do with Alex's movies. All of them are of great benefit to their later film careers.
For example, Bruce Lee and Shi Jian, two Asians, illustrate this very well, even if they are yellow, they were goldfingered by Alex, and their value immediately skyrocketed and their fame increased!
Those who understand know from Alex's daring to slap the Oscar committee that who is in control of this Hollywood, and those who don't understand will also be involuntarily attracted under Alex's halo.
The development momentum of DreamWorks over the years is no longer enough to be described as unstoppable, it can be called the only one!
What they didn't expect was. The casting campaign hasn't started yet. The heroine of it has already been snatched away. For such a thing to happen, Alex can only spread his hands, saying that there is nothing he can do.
Because it was none other than Karen, the "little princess" of the Carpenter family, who snatched the role of Princess Leah! She learned about the new movie. Just when there is a suitable heroine to play. She didn't even read the script and shouted: "I want to play the princess!" I'm going to play Princess Leia! ”
For Princess Karen's request. Alex had no choice but to agree with a smile, in his opinion, the "Princess Leah" chosen by Lucas was not as good-looking as his own "Princess Karen".
Karen this year? Carpenter is 16 years old. Since the Carpenter family has a larger body frame than ordinary people, Cullen also appears to be older. If you have to compare, she is taller and bigger than "Princess Leia", but there is nothing about it, just a little makeup and dressing up can make her look like a princess.
Since Cullen was born, the Carpenter family has become very wealthy, and after being rich, she looks more charming and feminine than Cullen himself in the original history. Although the figure is still so tall, the face is much softer, at least in terms of diet, there is no picky eating habit, and he can eat anything.
The change in physical fitness has given Karen a lot of motivation in her career, and she spends time practicing songs, recording, filming, photographing, etc. every day, and has a very considerable number of fans in the world.
Even the president of the United States praised her, believing that Cullen was the best girl in the United States and could represent the image of the United States in other countries.
Of course, the president of the United States would say such a thing, I don't know how many factors are caused by Alex's existence, but this view has also been agreed by most people, especially those American girls who are very concerned about Karen's every move. Not only attention, but also imitation of Karen's usual behavior.
From a fashion point of view, Cullen is a weather vane, guiding the way young people in the United States and even the world dress. Her songs, her movies, and photos can be found all over the world, after all, in addition to those who like sexy stunners like Brigitte and Monroe, there are still many people in this world who prefer the little girl next door like Karen.
It's not an exaggeration to call Karen "princess".
The princess is sure, and the prince is not far away.
Alex wanted Richard to play "Skywalker" Luke, and from a certain point of view, Richard really looked like the original Luke. The two of them are very similar in appearance and demeanor, and if you consider the brother-sister relationship between Luke and Princess Leah, it is even more coincidental, because they are a brother and sister themselves.
"What? I'm going to play the male lead? Richard looked at his eldest brother Alex in surprise, he didn't know what to think, and he refused politely: "I'm worried that the acting won't be good, so forget it!" ”
Such an answer surprised Alex a little. You know, Richard has been in a competitive relationship with him since he was a child, although he never took it to heart. However, Richard has always seemed confident, but the bolder he gets, the younger he gets.
"You can read the script first and wait for a while before deciding!" Alex patted his brother on the shoulder and encouraged, "You can do it!" How could the actor I fancy not work? ”
"In this case, I probably don't have much time to read the script!" Richard hesitated.
Cullen also said agitatedly, "Brother Richard, you're so useless. I haven't even read the script, so I say I can't do it! ”
In the end, Richard still agreed to read the script first, but during this period, Alex still took some time to understand Richard's thoughts, and it turned out that Richard knew that Cullen was the heroine, and there were some obstacles in his heart.
"If I don't play well, I'll probably be laughed at by Karen!"
After hearing this, Alex expressed his understanding: "This kind of thing is indeed a bit troublesome. But if people laugh at you for not being able to do something, don't you just do it? ”
"But, but Karen is a younger sister, and she has always compared me with your eldest brother, which makes me feel inferior!"
Unlike history, in the time and space without Alex, Cullen admired Richard quite a lot, which not only satisfied Richard's vanity, but also gradually became arrogant, so that after his sister's death, he fell with him in the music world, and was never able to create brilliance again.
After learning about Richard's heart disease, Alex was able to prescribe the right medicine to enlighten his younger brother to step out of his shadow so that he could meet his future in life in a healthy way. He feels that he can take a spiritual journey through this "Star Wars" film, so that his younger siblings can find their own suitable place in life.
Under Alex's persuasion, Richard happily took the movie, so that the male and female protagonists were selected. There are not many key roles left, among which the role of Obi-Wan was snatched by Maurice, who likes to play the mysterious hermit the most.
"You're going to play Obi-Wan?" Alex looked at Morris and said with a smile: "If you can receive Bruce Lee's kung fu training, then let you play this role." ”
Yes, Bruce Lee also joined the film.
In Alex's setting, Bruce Lee will play a Jedi from the East, a branch of the ancient genre, who only makes a few appearances in the film, and when he first appears, he saves Luke and Obi-Wan and others. The second time was when the Black Knight attacked a planet, and he intervened to stop the atrocity. The last time is at the end of the film, when he becomes Luke's new teacher.
Bruce Lee is very interested in this sci-fi film, although it is not like an oriental kung fu movie, but in his opinion, this film is very fantastical.
In this story, there are evil and brutal galactic empires, righteous warriors gathered under the banner of freedom, conspiracies hatched in secret rooms, samurai proficient in martial arts, and brave and beautiful princesses.
The plot includes a father-son breakup, a master-apprentice battle, a princess and a captain's romantic affair, and a comical robot servant. These wonderful stories and battles between good and evil erupt in cold snowy fields, boundless deserts, vast spaces, mysterious oceans, and dark jungles.
Such a wonderful movie, of course, Bruce Lee didn't want to miss it, he also wanted to play a role in it, and he was very satisfied with Alex's arrangement of this role. At this time, Bruce Lee was very open in Hollywood, the United States, and the kung fu instructor class he opened was very famous, and many people wanted to sign up for it.
Since filming "Red Dawn" with Alex, Bruce Lee has also shot many kung fu films himself, all of which are films that let Bruce Lee play on his own with the investment of DreamWorks.
Over the years, Bruce Lee has also achieved his life goal, which is to earn enough 10 million before the age of 30. Now it can be said that he has exceeded the quota, his net worth has long exceeded 10 million, and he has a large number of fans in Hollywood, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and Japan.
His dedication to kung fu has never given up. I'm still trying to improve my kung fu, and every time I see Alex, I have to play one or two games. Through such a competition, Bruce Lee not only made his kung fu improve quickly, but also clearly understood that the strength of himself and Alex was too different, and he couldn't catch up no matter what.
During this period, Bruce Lee also proposed to worship Alex as a teacher, but he was rejected, for the simple reason that Alex did not dare to accept apprentices casually. He didn't get the permission of the Immortal Dao lineage, but the usual guidance was still okay, and after Alex's guidance, Bruce Lee quickly broke through the realm of transforming energy, and was about to reach the Danjin level.
This kind of Bruce Lee is much stronger than himself in history, and he is basically a top master in the category of ordinary people. (To be continued......)
