Birth of an actor

On looks?

Although William Bradley can't be said to be the most handsome actor in Hollywood, he is definitely the most handsome one with his own characteristics, especially his dark green eyes, without a trace of variegation like the best gemstones, or The kind that has been handed down for a long time is deep in color rather than shallow, handsome, recognizable and good in temperament. In James Cameron's words: "The camera prefers these eyes, and just a glance seems to have many eyes. Story, Will was born to be a movie star."

何况身高足有六英尺一英寸（约185cm），既没有因太高而把周围人全衬托的渺小、和好莱坞一半的女演员都无法搭戏,也没有因太矮而容易遭到小报记者嘲讽（汤姆·克鲁斯被嘲讽多了的后遗症就是整天带着比自己高出许多的老婆招摇过市）,可以说是好莱坞的最佳身高,从身高五英尺二英寸（约157cm）的瑞茜·威瑟斯彭,再到五英尺四英寸的黛米·摩尔（约164cm）、身高五英尺八英寸的凯特·布兰切特（约173cm）,最后到身高五英尺十英寸的（约178）的茱莉亚·罗伯茨和妮可·基德曼,通通都能搭配——绝对不用像《卡萨布兰卡》里身高五英尺八英寸（约174cm）的亨弗莱·鲍嘉一样，为了和身高六英尺（约183cm）的英格丽·褒曼对戏，而不得不站在盒子上、坐在垫子上。

On box office appeal?

汤姆·克鲁斯共有五部北美票房过亿的电影,分别是1986年的《壮志凌云》、1988年的《雨人》、1992年的《义海雄风》、1994年的《夜访吸血鬼》和1996年的《碟中谍》,或者说是六部也可以，因为《甜心先生》公映三周票房超过6000万美元，可以预见票房也肯定会过亿。

How many years did it take Tom Cruise to reach the box office target of six over 1981 million?Since he played a small supporting role in the first movie "Endless Love" in his life in 1962, Cruise has starred in a total of 35 movies, and Tom Cruise, who was born in [-], now also has [-] years old.

And William Bradley? "Sense and Sensibility" has a global box office of 700 million, and "Romeo and Juliet Modern Edition" has a global box office of 700 million US dollars. According to the current word-of-mouth and theater attendance of "Scream", It is only a matter of time before North America breaks [-] million. In addition, although it has not yet been released, "Titanic", which "James Cameron's box office is sure to exceed [-] million", this young actor who has just turned [-] years old will also have Four movies with over [-] million box office!

Although it is impossible to attribute all the big sales of these films to William, judging from the focus and hot topics of discussion after the release of these films, William Bradley also played a significant role in the middle.

Moreover, there have been clear data pointing out that most of William’s movie fans are white-collar office workers and college students, as well as a considerable number of housewives and teenagers. These are either the backbone of the current society or the backbone of the future society. very powerful.It is foreseeable that unless there is a major event where fans collectively lose their fans, the box office of William Bradley's new movie will not be too bad when it is released.

Some people may question: Compared with the 90s, the 80s was a year of rapid development of Hollywood movies. European movies gradually weakened, Hollywood movies became more and more influential globally, theaters continued to expand, and film technology continued to innovate. Not only has it produced more movie themes, it has also cultivated more and more audiences to go to the movie theater on weekends. Coupled with other factors such as price inflation, the number of films with a box office exceeding [-] million yuan has been increasing year by year, and box office records are gradually being refreshed. Didn't William Bradley have such an outstanding development because he caught up with the good times?

But what these doubters don’t see is that among the 20-generation young actors in Hollywood today, there are several newcomers like William Bradley who have starred in three movies in two years and participated in the filming of a movie with an investment cost of [-] million yuan. The huge US dollar production and played an important role in it, four films are about to gross over [-] million yuan (the uncertain future "Gait Shot" is not included), and the film career has been spinning in the "big production" or "high box office"?

Or to put it another way - among the active actors in Hollywood today, how many of them can perform better than William Bradley in terms of works, box office, popularity, awards, etc. at the age of 20?

Leonardo DiCaprio is of course one, but Leonardo DiCaprio has been an actor since he was 5 years old, making commercials, and he participated in the national hit sitcom "Growing Trouble" at the age of 16. ", I shot a lot of movies, TV shows and commercials when I was less than 20 years old.Christian Bale is also considered one, but Christian Bale also became popular when he starred in Steven Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun" at the age of 13. He is also considered a child star and has too many debut points ——Both of them were born as child actors, so there is no comparison with William, who entered the industry halfway.

Other actors who are more popular than William, such as Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Will Smith, etc., are either over 25 or nearly [-] years old, and they all gradually became popular after they turned [-] , and cannot be placed together for comparison.

It became popular so early and so quickly. In short, in the eyes of Hollywood film companies that are deeply fascinated by the idea that superstars can beat the box office, William has become the next Tom Cruise in their eyes... No, the potential next box office bomb.

"Scream 2 is already in production?" When the agent told William on the phone that "Scream" and becoming a series of films, and that the second film has already started production, William asked in surprise: "The first part is still in theaters, and the second part is starting to shoot. Isn't this pace too fast?"

"The production company has always been very active in the business that can make money." Amon Goffman said with some disdain - now he is more and more comfortable in front of William, and he can say what he wants to complain about all kinds of people Even if the other party is the boss of the film company: "Neve Campbell, David Arquette, and Courteney Coster have already signed the contract for the second movie, and they really want to sign you. "The Scream" is a real crime theme rather than a supernatural one. If you don't want to customize the studio, you can let the screenwriter revive Billy in order to let you join. In fact, the studio has also considered whether to create a character who looks exactly like Billy. The role of "Star Wars" and "Terminator" will become more and more popular, and "Scream" will probably be the same as "Scream". "A Nightmare on Elm Street" fell into the vicious circle of horror movies that are getting worse and worse."

"You are very considerate, Amon, even if the script of "Scream" is handed to me, I will probably refuse it. One movie with this theme is enough-unless something like "Silence The Lambs, The Shawshank Redemption and other great scripts, otherwise I probably won't be doing crime movies in the short term."

"Uh." Amon Goffman said with a little embarrassment: "Actually, I have received a lot of horror and thriller scripts now, and did you know that the salary has been raised to 500 million US dollars! Will, you have completely changed Compared to the past, everyone has seen the commercial potential in you!"

"Do you have a good script?"

"I didn't find this one particularly outstanding."

"Then I'm not interested in them."

"If you don't accept it, you don't accept it. Anyway, you don't have to worry about not having a movie to shoot. I still have many other types of scripts in hand. I will check them out for you." Amon Goffman compromised easily this time, and his tone was still A little smug: "I got a bigger one in the WMA office! Will, when you become an A-list, maybe they will cry and beg me to stay as a senior partner."

It seems that with the rise of his own popularity, Amon Goffman's status in the brokerage company has also risen. William is also very happy. He immediately congratulated his agent and asked Amon Goffman's assistant Rick: "And Eric, does he have his own desk?"

"Eric? Come on, his sissy will scare clients away, just let him stay as an assistant for another two years - don't rush to complain about him, I asked him to bring in a TV actor first Try, if he does a good job, I will promote him. By the way, I met Harvey Weinstein in the world yesterday, and he asked me to say thank you to you, what does this mean?" Amon Goffman remembered one more thing, and asked in a puzzled tone: "When did you get together with him behind my back?"

"It's too ugly to get together, Amon, your tone is like a wife questioning a husband who has contact with other women."

"That's because the agent and the actor are originally a contractual relationship similar to marriage. We both prosper and lose, Will." After Amon Goffman explained very frankly, his tone turned dissatisfied: "Why don't you say Do I sound like a husband questioning his wife who has been in contact with other men?"

"...Is there any point in pestering us who will play the role of husband?" William didn't like the direction of this topic very much, although he knew that Amon must be joking, and the two of them had often made such jokes before, but Now the joke that implied that he was in a married relationship with another man was really poking at his sensitive nerves.

"Okay, let's skip this bad joke." Amon Goffman heard William's unhappiness, and quickly changed the subject: "Although it's not as good as Steven Spielberg, Wei Wei The Ernstein brothers are also quite powerful. They have a very wide network of contacts, especially in how to please the Academy Award judges. Otherwise, Disney would not have worked hard to get Miramax into the bag. In fact, you and him It's good to have some private friendships, but now you're in Hollywood, Will, and before Scream, most of the calls I got for you were romances or period dramas , the characters are either children of rich families or children of aristocrats, or the kind of bitter love. After "Scream", there are more B-level movies, and the characters are also strange and everything. You can broaden your horizons. It's a good thing to play, but Harvey Weinstein is so cunning, who knows what he's up to about you."

"I don't think Harvey Weinstein is against me. In fact, there should be a reason for that thank you." William said: "When we were filming "Scream", we chatted once, and I was very impressed. He said..." William then told Armon Goffman about his Scary Movie conversation with Harvey Weinstein.

"No wonder I heard that Miramax is preparing a film called "Scream". I heard that it is a derivative film of "Scream". The original initiator is actually you!" Amon Goffman Surprised: "Your ideas sound quite interesting. If it is filmed well, it will definitely be a black humor spoof film that can attract the audience - don't tell me the script of "Scary Laugh" You wrote it!"

"Of course not, my friend, even if I wanted to, I don't have the talent and time."

"You gave Weinstein another chance to get rich! So, did Harvey Weinstein promise you anything?"

"It doesn't seem to be there?" William thought for a while: "Except for a thank you."

"Bought a movie idea with a thank you? God, Will, are you a philanthropist? And even if you were, it shouldn't be Harvey Weinstein!"

William coughed lightly, and comforted him with a little embarrassment: "Don't get excited, Amon, "Scream" has a good box office and is highly topical, and its plasticity is indeed strong. Sooner or later, a spin-off movie will be born."

"I don't care whether he will be born sooner or later, in short, Harvey Weinstein just took advantage of you and refused to give you benefits-a Jew with morality and conscience should not do things like this!" Amon Goffman said slowly Tun said: "Anyway, I want to remind Weinstein and let him remember your kindness. Maybe this year's Bright Street is a good opportunity. If I remember correctly, Weinstein and I worshiped in the same church. "

In Amon Goffman's view, William's commerciality is enough, and it's time to improve his artistry to capture major award ceremonies, and the Weinstein brothers are best at making movies that can please the Oscar judges. Since William The impression left by Harvey Weinstein is good enough, and the other party owes him a favor, so such a favor is not in vain.

……

"I changed my mind." At the breakfast table at Evans' house, Carly Evans said solemnly: "Chris, you must become a famous actor, and I will become a Hollywood publicist in the future."

Christopher Evans, who had messy brown hair and was spreading peanut butter on toast, raised his head in a daze. He waited for a few seconds before he could react. After a few more seconds, he asked while biting his toast. : "Do you want to be a publicist because you want to escort your younger brother, me, the future big star?"

"Don't think too much, of course I'm doing it for Will." Carly Evans rolled her eyes suddenly: "If I'm a good publicist now, maybe I can solve his problems for him!" He patted some newspapers on the dining table, resting his chin and said, "This group of scribbled reporters is really annoying. I don't know how Will will deal with these things."

The newspapers and magazines on the dining table in the Evans house are "GQ", "The New Yorker", "US Weekly", "USA Today", "New York Post", "New York Daily News", each newspaper's The title and content are different, but there is only one protagonist around the topic: William Bradley.

Hollywood insiders have always looked at the interests, this is absolute. When the industry pays attention to the commercial potential of William and whether he can become Hollywood's second heartthrob, the outside of the industry pays more attention to the movie and William's performance itself. .

William, who was nominated for Best Actor at the 2nd Screen Actors Guild Awards and Best Actor at the 53rd American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards, plays the noble young master/Gao Fushuai ) has long been affirmed, whether on the big screen or on the small screen, William plays the most such roles - Princeton in "90210", Edward in "Sense and Sensibility", "Romeo and Juliet" Paris, the son of the governor in "Modern Edition", and Carl, the second leading actor in "Titanic", which has received widespread attention even though it has not been released yet.

In fact, even in the currently released poster of "Gaitball", William is in a suit and leather shoes, and his dyed blond hair is combed back shiny and shiny, just like an elite style. Now that the film is in post-production and the trailer has not yet been released, The media and the public can naturally guess easily: In "Gait Shot", William should be playing the middle and upper class of society, right?

Nowadays, folk information (network information) is not well developed, except for movies joined by superstars such as Harrison Ford and Tom Hanks, or big productions with over [-] million dollars that can continue to receive media attention from the start of filming to the release, "Scream", like most low-cost films, only entered the public eye during the promotion period, so even fans who have been following William's news do not know the specific plot of "Scream" ——Then the movie was released, and the media and fans exploded together.

Because after the premiere, the first wave of film reviews from newspapers such as "New York Times", "Los Angeles Times", and "Chicago Tribune" were released. Of course, the public first paid attention to the film's box office and the acting skills of the actors. The score was eight, and the worst was about seven, and William's personal score was never lower than eight. Later, because of the reports on the premiere ceremony by some entertainment and fashion newspapers and magazines, William's red carpet performance was very good. Be the new focus soon.

"William Stunning Scream Premiere, Style Compliments" (The New Yorker): "Light gray crushed check two-button blazer, charcoal gray Egyptian cotton jacquard collarless shirt, orange accents , light gray and white twill silk printed square scarf instead of tie, William Brandley's "Scream" premiere dress attracted all the lights on both sides of the red carpet - at that moment, in the eyes of all reporters Even Drew Barrymore and Neve Campbell are less charming than him."

There are two pictures in the matching picture of "The New Yorker". One is a frontal photo of William standing on the red carpet and smiling for the camera, which is used on the cover of the magazine. A picture of someone talking and laughing sideways, which was used as an illustration for the inside news.

Because the camera capture is so good, especially the emotional capture of the characters in the second photo is very vivid and charming, everyone who sees the photo can feel the joy and relaxation of William himself at that moment, so in the next few days, With nearly every newspaper citing the New Yorker photo, the inevitable discussion ensued: What brand was William Bradley wearing on the red carpet at the premiere of Scream?Is it a sponsorship or a private server?

The exchange of information in the fashion industry in the entertainment industry is always fast, and soon, "GQ", the number one American men's fashion magazine, stood up.
