I’m in Hollywood
Chapter 1183: This video is not for you
As one of the few outstanding movies in Brazil, Eric has seen the City of God. The biggest impact of this film is that he has no choice but to struggle to survive in a violent environment.
After receiving the book handed by Blaulio Mantovani, Eric did not open it. He did not have much free time to read such a novel of five or six hundred pages. Instead, he directly asked about it. More details about film production.
The City of God is a novel that Brazilian writer Paul Lins spent ten years to complete reflecting the social life of the bottom slums in Brazil.
Two years ago, the novel was quickly published and quickly evoked a strong response, and was quickly translated into a variety of other languages.
Subsequently, the Studio-C**** production company under the French Vivendi Group bought the film and television copyright of the novel and began to write the script. This project has been swayed and settled in the hands of Catherine, so I have a meeting with the writer of "The City of God" today.
After talking for more than ten minutes, Blaulio Mantovani found that Eric’s thoughts on the film even gradually surpassed himself, which made him start to admire the young Hollywood tycoon. However, although I really want to continue to be close to Eric, but when I think of the things I just did, he still voluntarily took the initiative to leave.
Eric and other Braulio Mantovani left, this time looking at the woman who still holds the coffee cup in her hand, asked: "How is it?"
Waking up from the absent-minded state, I felt that I should not be too passive in front of this little man. She quickly put down the cup and said: "Well, what about you?"
Eric looked sideways at the woman in front of him and smiled and said: "It's not bad."
I really want to tease him about his ubiquitous state in the media, but he doesn't want him to know that he is concerned about these things, so he mentioned the movie: "What do you think of "The City of God"?"
“Your thoughts on using realistic documentary techniques are correct. However, if you want to go further, it is best to use informal actors, for example, to select some children directly from the Rio slums for simple training, so the final effect of the film. It will be more realistic. Another point is that it is very necessary to shoot in Portuguese.” Eric said, instead he said: “So, this film is not for you, you don’t seem to be Portuguese. ,right?"
Catherine had always agreed with Eric’s words. However, when I heard the last one, I was not convinced at the moment: “I actually know a little, and there is an interpreter.”
"It is also very difficult to communicate smoothly with the actors," Eric still shook his head, watching the woman stare at her appearance, suddenly shrugged and said: "Well, I know you can do this. Actually, I don't want to Letting you go to Brazil to make this film, the Rio slum is too dangerous."
Catherine didn't expect Eric to suddenly say this. Someone immediately dared not look at the little man in front of him. He took the coffee cup in front of him and found that it was empty. So he stood up and hid his eyes. : "I, I should go back."
"Well, I should go back," Eric stood up as if nothing had happened, and saw the appearance of Catherine's figure immediately. He smiled and said, "Okay, I promise not to bully you. It is like a little girl. There is no sense of accomplishment. Hey, I haven’t seen it for so long, can I walk together?”
Listening to him was so calm and hateful, so he glanced at him, but did not refuse, after turning around, he could not help but step down.
Walking side by side to the deck, Catherine took the initiative to say: "How about the auditor of the Marvel movie universe?"
“I’ve been busy with this matter recently,” Eric felt the tone of the woman’s words and said, “Is there anyone who would recommend it to me?”
“Sean called me last week,” Catherine said, proactively explaining: “Sean Pan, we worked together in Red Alerts last time.”
Eric immediately met and said the name of a person who had just met in the afternoon: "Jim Caviezel."
Jim Caviezel also participated in the "Red Alert", although in a big name, his coffee position is insignificant, but in the original film has a very bright performance.
Catherine was a little surprised, but she nodded. "Xean asked if I could help Jim say a few words. I refused. However, since I met you... In fact, Jim is a very good actor, very human. Sincere, just never got a good chance."
During the audition during the day, Eric probably knew Jim Kaweize's character. At this time, he said: "I didn't expect him to be a good friend with Sean Pen."
Catherine took some smiles and said: "Jim is actually a good friend with Kevin Costner. He knows a lot of people, but he rarely takes the initiative to let everyone help. This may be why everyone is willing to make friends with him. There are very few people in Hollywood who don’t have any thoughts and people. Xien called me and estimated that Jim didn’t know.”
Hollywood has a lot of superstars who are ignorant of dogs for various reasons, but there are also a lot of big coffees like Sean Pan. Although they have a hot temper in front of the paparazzi, in the circle, Sean Pen is definitely Very loyal representative.
Think of it this way, Eric said: "Kawze's audition of the Hulk afternoon has just been confirmed, not to marry you, he is one of the last two candidates, just, I think another person is more appropriate."
Katherine just snorted, and the two spoke and soon came to the parking lot outside the North Gate of the Studios.
Finding his own car, Catherine pulled the door of the white BMW and saw Eric standing next to him, saying, "You?"
"Would you still live in the cold water canyon?" Eric looked at the people and animals harmlessly and said: "I happen to go to the Trausdale Manor, can I take a car?"
Catherine’s movements were stiff and stiff, with a bit of trepidation in her tone, and her eyes resentment: “You just said, what.”
"Well," Eric couldn't stand the woman's eyes and raised his hand. He said, "Just kidding. In addition, regarding "The City of God", I really don't recommend that you do it yourself. You can hang it. The producer, looking for a local director from Brazil, is actually the same."
"Well, I will consider it."
Catherine sighed and sat in the driver's seat, confirming that the little man outside didn't force him to come in. He was inexplicably lost, and he said goodbye and slowly started the car.
Although she likes to tease Catherine in words and then see what she is overwhelmed, if the woman really shows resistance, Eric will never be reluctant. He also understands why Catherine is in this state, and the age gap between the two is indeed too big.
After the meeting this evening, Eric continued to pay attention to the "City of God" in the following days.
Since Vivendi also holds a stake in MGM, this film will have MGM and Studio-C**** cooperation.
However, Catherine did not take the initiative to give up the project, Eric understood the woman's small stubbornness, and did not persuade. I think that even if I really go to the Rio slum shooting, Catherine’s safety is definitely very secure. After all, the Brazilian government will certainly not allow an Oscar-winning director to make a surprise in filming in his own country.
At the same time, the selection of the Marvel movie universe is still steadily advancing.
After the actor of "The Hulk" was identified as Christian Bell, the media almost inevitably caused some controversy.
However, this kind of thing is almost inevitable for the selection of superheroes. Many superhero players are almost always questioned when they just get the character. Then, after the film was released, as long as the quality of the film was good and the performance of the actors reached the standard, fans and comic fans often began to change their positions without any control.
After Hulk’s actor was identified, other characters were quickly finalized.
Since Chris Evans was just 18 years old, the role of Captain America will definitely not fall to him.
After a series of screenings, the role was finally finalized as Josh Duhamel, the captain of Reynolds in Transformers.
Josh Duhamel is 26 years old this year, and is the same age as Chris Evans once took the role of the US team.
Moreover, the image of the American soldier who Josh Duhaming once played in the "Transformers" series is also very popular. The captain of the United States, in the final analysis, is also an American soldier. The selection of this character is somewhat the standard of the big-eyed and big-eyed face when choosing the main melody film actor.
After Iron Man and Spider-Man, the three main roles of Captain America, Raytheon, and Hulk were all finalized, and the framework of the first phase of the Marvel movie universe was basically built.
Of course, there is a more critical role, the black widow Natasha Romanov, Eric has never been able to find a very suitable player.
However, after several months of auditions, the final candidate fell to two people.
Perhaps Hollywood is just a circle that is not too big. The last two candidates, Eric are also very familiar: Angelina Jolie and Mila Jovovich.
As far from the purely intellectual point of view, these two women are undoubtedly very suitable for the role of the black widow.
However, the two women also have their own problems.
Among them, Julie’s problem is undoubtedly the most serious. The actress has been immersed in drug addiction in recent years and has not yet shown signs of landing.
If it weren't for the family's connections in Hollywood, Julie wouldn't have been able to get any role in the past few years. Even the last round of the audition, except that Julie itself really fits this role, is largely the result of Julie’s father Jon Voight’s mediation, and now Julie has not Break with his father.
Moreover, even if Julie is able to successfully quit drug addiction, her personality is not suitable for playing a role in the Marvel movie universe.
In the final analysis, Eric needs the more obedient actors.
As for Mila Jovovich, Eric was not too cold for the actress long time ago. In the early "Apocalypse Angels" audition, because of the mood was not very good that day, Eric also casually sent Mela Jovovich who participated in the audition.
"This is a long-term series that lasts for at least five years and involves nine big movies. We must ensure that the characters are foolproof." In the audition room of Firefly Studios, looking at the thick-lipped girl sitting on the opposite chair, Eric was straightforward. Asked: "So, how do you guarantee that in the process, you will never touch those contraband again?"
When I heard Eric's question, Julie was obviously anxious, but she was patient and respectful: "Mr. Williams, this problem, my agent has passed the firefly. In this process, you can Send someone to test me at any time."
"Of course we can, but everyone knows that the root cause is still on your own. If you insist on touching those things, we can't always look at you. And once things happen, the entire movie plan of the Firefly Group will be affected. Injury, at that time, even if we tell you that it’s going to go bankrupt, it won’t help, or even we may have to take the initiative to help you hide it, Julie, have you thought about it?”
Angelina Jolie’s eyes flashed and did not directly answer Eric’s question. She seemed to feel that she might not be able to get this role. She took a bit of self-destruction and said: “So, Mr. Williams, I am It was eliminated, right?"
"If you think so," Eric pointed to the direction of the door and said, "You can go out now."
Angelina Jolie subconsciously wants to get up, but hesitated for a moment, still sitting down in the chair honestly.
Eric nodded with satisfaction and continued: "So, another question, the Firefly Group's contract in this role is very demanding. Once you pick up the role, then before the contract is completed, in addition to playing the black widow, You can only participate in one other movie every year, and the production cost can't exceed 50 million US dollars. Would you accept it?"
The previous Hollywood series of movies began to rise after 2000. The rules that Eric said are actually more of a general limitation of the role of the TV circle, which was rarely used in movies before.
Therefore, Julie obviously hesitated, but after a while, she nodded: "Yes."
"So, come here today," Eric said. "You can go back and wait for the news."
Julie listened to Eric, saying, stood up, politely and goodbye to everyone, before turning and leaving.
Eric is on the side of Jos Weiden: "So, what do you think?"
This is the third audition for the last few candidates this week. Before Julie, Mila Jovovich has just left.
Jos Verden even didn't even understand why Eric was so much in the role of the black widow. However, considering Erik's series of classic female characters created from the beginning of his debut, Jos Weiden is not too skeptical about Eric's harshness, but just says: "If you exclude all other factors Both of them are very suitable. However, if I choose, I will choose Mira, she is more insurance. Eric, you seem to be more inclined to Julie, right?"
Eric nodded and said: "If she has no drug addiction, her character is obedient, and the character may have fallen on her."
"This is Hollywood," Joss Weiden smiled. "Which Hollywood has so many babies, Eric, your request is not realistic from the start."
