Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1897 Height Trouble

Nicole Kidman's parents were actually not optimistic about their daughter's ability to become an actor at the beginning, because she was too tall and it was difficult to find an actor who could play with her.

At this time, Nicole Kidman's height has reached 180, and if she wears high heels, she will be much taller than almost most people.

She was married to Tom Cruise in her previous life. You must know that Tom Cruise is seven centimeters shorter than Nicole Kidman, but because of the aura problem, everyone may think that this pair does not look too good. violation.

But it's one thing to live a life, and another to make a movie.

If Nicole Kidman's height is to find an actor to play with her, at least one actor who is over 180 must be found and must not be shorter than her.

This has led to some awkward situations where producers and directors are unlikely to find an actor who is taller than Nicole Kidman in order to take care of her.

So those male actors either wear underwear or find a way to make Nicole Kidman look less tall.

But fortunately, the Brad Pitt that Lin Daoqiu found this time is the same height as Nicole Kidman, so this can make the two look good.

But the problem is that Nicole Kidman can't always rely on Lin Daoqiu to arrange movies for her to act in. She will definitely go to participate in other companies' movies.

The problem is that once the hero's height cannot match Nicole Kidman, the range of movies she can choose will become very narrow.

After letting Nicole Kidman rest for a night, Lin Daoqiu invited Brad Pitt and director Robert Zemeckis to his office the next day.

"I plan to give Industrial Light and Magic the special effects of "The Incredibles" to produce."

Lin Daoqiu has bought Lucasfilm and merged the entire company into New Oriental Pictures.

However, Lin Daoqiu liked the name Industrial Light & Magic very much, so he did not change the name of this special effects studio, but continued to use this name.

The reason why Moli Studio was not allowed to take over "Extraordinary Men" is because Moli Studio has too much work on hand now, and it is simply too busy.

However, Industrial Light and Magic is still very different from Magic Studio in terms of technology, and in some places it is even slightly behind Magic Studio.

Therefore, the movie "Crossman" can be regarded as a movie that Industrial Light and Magic can understand and integrate into.

"I heard that Mr. Lin bought Lucasfilm before, and I have cooperated with Industrial Light and Magic a lot before."

The special effects of "Back to the Future" were made by Industrial Light and Magic, so Robert Zemeckis was naturally very happy to let Industrial Light and Magic be in charge of the special effects production of "Back to the Future" this time.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Ralston has arrived."

Ken Ralston is one of the founders of Industrial Light and Magic, and he was also the person in charge of producing "Back to the Future" before Industrial Light and Magic.

Fang Jinsheng brought Ken Ralston into Lin Daoqiu's office.

Lin Daoqiu had met him before when he was visiting Industrial Light & Magic, but the two had never chatted. Unexpectedly, the second time they met, Lin Daoqiu was already the boss of Industrial Light & Magic.

"Welcome, Ralston."

Lin Daoqiu stood up with a smile, then went around the desk and shook hands with the other party.

"Mr. Lin, you can just call me Ken."

Ken Ralston respected Lin Daoqiu very much.

"We can continue working together again, Ken..."

Robert Zemeckis has worked with Ken Ralston before, so the two are no strangers.

"I hope you won't make too many demands on me this time."

Ken Ralston smiled and hugged Robert Zemeckis.

Now almost all the main creators of "Outlaws" are gathered here, and Lin Daoqiu briefly chatted with them about his vision for the show.

After a while, Fang Jinsheng knocked on the door again.

"Boss, Miss Nicole Kidman and her agent have arrived."

"Please come in."

When hearing this name, except for Lin Daoqiu, the three of Brad Pitt were at a loss because they didn't know who this woman named Nicole Kidman was.

"She is an actor I invited from Australia, and I plan to let her play the heroine of "The Incredibles."

Lin Daoqiu went to Australia to find an actress, which surprised Brad Pitt and others.

Because from their point of view, if Lin Daoqiu wanted to find female stars to act in "Warrior", Hollywood could easily find a group of excellent actresses to play.

However, Lin Daoqiu did not use the audition method to select the heroine of "Extraordinary Men", but used a direct roll call method, and the other party was an actress from Australia, all of which made them feel that Very puzzled.

But with Lin Daoqiu's status, he can do whatever he wants, and the three of them don't even have the courage to say anything.

Soon, when Nicole Kidman walked in through the door with her agent, the eyes of the four men in the room all focused on her.

Tall, fair-skinned, with a shawl of blond hair, she can be said to be the most typical Western beauty.

"Cough cough..."

Finding that the other three people were fascinated by watching, Lin Daoqiu hurriedly pretended to cough twice, and then called them back.

Robert Zemeckis and Ken Ralston were both snickering, and Brad Pitt next to him was not much better. He just looked at each other with straight eyes.

"This is Miss Nicole Kidman and her agent, Mr. White."

Lin Daoqiu briefly introduced Nicole Kidman and her agent White to the people present, and then introduced several people present to Nicole Kidman and the others.

When they heard that the director of "Back to the Future" and the boss of Industrial Light and Magic were present, Nicole Kidman and her manager White were more nervous than before.

But Lin Daoqiu, who made them more nervous, continued to speak at this time.

"Miss Kidman was invited to Hollywood this time because MGM is making a blockbuster special effects movie and wants to invite you to play the lead actress in this movie."

Nicole Kidman was in a tense state throughout, because in front of her were a group of Hollywood bigwigs, except Brad Pitt.

Her agent, White, seemed somewhat calmer, but to be honest, he was no better than Nicole Kidman, he just looked a little better.

"Well, oh... very wise choice, no... I mean great, thank you very much for giving us this opportunity, I believe Nicole will never let you down, trust me."

Lin Daoqiu did not ask the opinions of the other three from the beginning to the end, and Ken Ralston and Brad Pitt obviously did not have any say in the casting.

As for the director Robert Zemeckis, he didn't think he could say anything in the casting, so Nicole Kidman naturally became the heroine of "Extraordinary Men".
