Chapter 344: Max Mikkelsen and Anne Hathaway
Los Angeles, Nov. 12, afternoon.
The weather was fine.
Just when "Gravity" was released in Japan and "Red Cliff Up" grabbed the box office market, Wu Yuan, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, didn't pay much attention to it.
"Gravity" is destined to only be a film for the Chinese market, inspiring a sense of national honor and science fiction dreams, and does not have the luxury of sweeping Asia and even the world.
Even if its original version has indeed achieved good results in the global market, the situation is not the same with a change of director and a group of Chinese actors.
Wu Yuan has more important things to do than pay attention to his box office performance in the Japanese market.
Paramount, after discussing with Universal, finally decided to respect the advice given by Wu Yuan, the director, and invited the actors according to his requirements.
Wu Yuan is no longer the unknown Chinese director who was in Hollywood when he filmed "Juno".
As the fourth top commercial film director in the world to enter the club with a single film box office exceeding $1 billion, even Paramount and Universal have to recognize and accept Wu Yuan's casting vision.
He said that Maz Mikkelsen is more suitable than Leonardo, that is, more suitable.
It is worth mentioning that if nothing else, this year Nolan broke a number of box office records in North America with "The Dark Knight", and will become the fifth film in the world to exceed $1 billion at the box office and join this club.
And Nolan has already contacted Leonardo first and invited him to star in Nolan's next movie "Inception", and Paramount has no chance to find Leonardo.
In the case of failing to pursue Leonardo, Paramount's first choice must be to accept Wu Yuan's suggestion to contact Max Mikkelsen and Anne Hathaway.
And Max Mikkelsen and Anne Hathaway, who received the invitation to Paramount films, were also very surprised.
The two of them hadn't even read the script, so they immediately agreed to the invitation to this movie.
Even though Anne Hathaway was filming Disney's blockbuster project "Alice in Wonderland", she also agreed to the invitation of "Interstellar" for the first time.
Both movies invited her to play supporting roles, "Alice in Wonderland" will be completed soon, how can she catch up with the filming of "Interstellar".
For this reason, she also took a day off with the crew and came to Los Angeles to meet Wu Yuan.
Not only her, but Max Mikkelsen, who also received an invitation and has a very empty schedule for next year, also came to Los Angeles to meet Wu Yuan in person.
Wu Yuan directly asked the two to meet at Beverly Hills.
Liu Yifei has left Los Angeles and followed the crew of "Ace Agent" to Switzerland to film the Snow Mountain War. There was only Wu Yuan alone in the huge mansion, as well as some servants.
In order to show respect, Wu Yuan waited at the gate of the mansion in advance to greet these two future right-hand men.
"Hi Annie, nice to meet you."
The first to arrive was the beautiful Anne Hathaway.
I have to admit that this actress, whose reputation has spread all over the world, is really a super beauty.
Whether it's the princess look in the "Princess Diaries" trilogy, or the working woman in "The Queen Wears Prada", or the sexy catwoman in "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight".
Since her debut, she has contributed a large number of glamorous screen images, which are extremely unforgettable.
And Anne Hathaway, who came to see Wu Yuan today, was obviously dressed up specially.
With slightly curly hair and a shawl, a fluffy hat, and a snow-white gauze skirt covering her ankles, the innocence reveals a bit of playfulness, in the early winter of November, it is glamorous and frozen.
With a bright smile on her face, as soon as she got out of the car, she walked quickly to Wu Yuan and gave a warm hug.
"Dear Director Daniel, I'm glad to meet you, and I'm even more glad that you invited me to star in your new film."
Wu Yuan hugged her with a smile in the corner of his eyes, his eyes flashed a little amazing, and he stretched out his hand to welcome her in.
Even Wu Yuan, who is used to seeing beauties in the circle, is amazed by her appearance.
Anne Hathaway's appearance is almost in line with Chinese and Western aesthetics.
You must know that in some aesthetics in Europe and the United States, there are roughly two definitions of beauty's appearance.
One is the traditional blonde and blue-eyed beauty of the West.
And the other is Anne Hathaway or Monica in "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", who is obviously a typical white complexion, but has black hair and black eyes.
And the latter is easier to eat both Asia and Europe.
For example, Sophie Marceau, such as Gal Gadot, are all European and American actresses who are killed in Asia.
And Anne Hathaway is even more heavyweight.
It's just that her reputation in the United States is not very good, there are many people who like her, and even more people who hate her.
It can't be helped, it's too pretty.
is because Anne Hathaway's various performances are too perfect, so that no matter what kind of state Anne Hathaway shows, many Europeans and Americans will think that she is "contrived", too pretentious, and not real at all.
However, this can't be helped, after all, looking at Anne Hathaway's road to fame, it is indeed a bit of an exaggeration to be perfect.
At the age of 19, because she was so beautiful, she was selected by the director of "The Princess Diaries".
And in front of the camera, Anne at this age has transformed from an ordinary high school student to a princess's acting skills, and her maturity is unbelievable.
Later, after becoming famous with "The Princess Diaries", Annie's first love face, which was almost everyone's ideal, made her popular in North America and was regarded as the first love of the nation.
Doesn't this feel like this route is familiar?
Yes, Anne Hathaway's road to fame is basically the same as Liu Yifei, even a high-end version of Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei became the first love of the people with three TV series, and Anne Hathaway is the "Princess Diaries" trilogy, which is directly popular in North America.
And Anne's talent in acting skills surpasses Liu Yifei's.
When everyone thought that Anne would take the sweet and beautiful route of "The Princess Diaries" in the future, she resolutely transformed.
The bold rich girl in "Pretty Woman" and the large-scale appearance picture.
The sexy and glamorous "Dark Knight" Catwoman.
"The Queen Wears Prada" in the style of white-collar women in the workplace.
to the noble and pretentious style of "Alice in Wonderland" White Queen, and then to the role of "Fantine" in "Les Miserables" after shaving off her hair.
Anne Hathaway will always break people's previous perceptions of her with new works when everyone thinks she will fix a certain character style.
Of course, because of her excellence, from the Oscars to the Golden Globes, to the American Film Critics Association, and the British Film Institute, she has won various awards, except for acting in large-scale movies, she has no black spots and shortcomings, which makes countless North American women jealous and hate her.
When a person is good enough, it naturally triggers a lot of jealousy and disgust of the same sex.
is because Anne Hathaway's posture is too dazzling, to put it bluntly, too good, so that it is beyond the level of actors of the same generation a few streets, this sense of unreality drives many fans to think that Anne Hathaway's perfection is actually "acted".
If she were like Justin Bieber, she would have smoked and drunk in private, and she would have been proficient in flying leaves and drag racing, but she would not have caused the Black Tide.
You are an American, and the result is different from most young Americans, you don't like to play at all, and you don't have any scandals or black material on your body, how can you accept it?
No one believes that such a young man who became famous at the age of 19 and entered the Vanity Fair of Hollywood would be so "pure", it is definitely pretended!
The more you pretend, the more the public hates it.
This is what the Americans think.
Wu Yuan, a Chinese man, cannot agree with or understand.
Anyway, in his opinion, Anne Hathaway, the high-profile version of Liu Yifei, the better the better, he wished there were more good actors like this.
It's no wonder that although Anne Hathaway is hated by many North American women, her film appointments in Hollywood are still continuous, even more and more.
There is no director who doesn't like her as an actor who has good talent, is willing to try any role, has a large enough scale, and can play well.
Well, if she doesn't be her girlfriend.
Anne Hathaway made large-scale appearances in "Pretty Woman" and "Love and Elixir", Wu Yuan would never let Liu Yifei play it in this life, his girlfriend's talent is almost a little worse, but he can't learn from Anne Hathaway.
"Annie, you are the best actress in the entire American post-80s, and as soon as my new movie plan is confirmed, I want to invite you to star."
Guiding Anne Hathaway to the living room to sit down, after the maid brought coffee and tea, Wu Yuan praised her without hesitation.
"The Dark Knight's global box office of $1 billion is almost a foregone conclusion, congratulations, your Catwoman should be the most successful Catwoman of all time."
"Thank you." Anne Hathaway took a sip of coffee elegantly, and was not nervous in the face of Wu Yuan, a good director, but smiled lightly and teased: "I didn't expect me to be so good in your heart, am I better than Keira Knightley?" ”
Keira Knightley is also a post-80s actress.
"Oh, Annie, KK is British." Wu Yuan winked at Anne Hathaway: "You are the best actress of the young generation in the United States in my mind, and KK is the best actress of the young generation in the United Kingdom, this is not a conflict, is it?" ”
How to say that KK is also the queen heroine who has collaborated with him in three "Pirates of the Caribbean" and one "Rush Hour 3", Wu Yuan certainly will not belittle his little girl in order to praise Anne Hathaway.
"Haha, Daniel, you're the most talkative director I've ever met." Anne Hathaway's smile trembled, and she seemed to be in a happy mood.
The beauty smiled, pleasing to the eye, the corners of Wu Yuan's mouth unconsciously curled, and he was about to tease a few more words, when a servant walked into the hall with another middle-aged man.
Another actor invited by Wu Yuan today, Max Mikkelsen, also arrived.
"Hi Max, see you again."
"Ready to work with me again?"
Wu Yuan stood up and smiled at Max Mikkelsen.
Max Mikkelsen, who was also smiling, nodded and said without doubt: "Of course, I can't wait to act in your new movie." ”
"It's amazing!"
