[US Entertainment] Top Hollywood directors

Miramax greenlights plans for the Salma Hayek-produced film.

Claire initially requested a budget of $2000 million.

After Salma conveyed it, after the consideration of Miramax senior management, the budget was kept at 1000 million US dollars.

If it is said that the director connects all links, it is actually not common in Hollywood. This is usually what the producer has to do.Salma Hayek was the first to find Claire.

Harvey Weinstein gave her the condition that this unknown actress complete an almost impossible task list.

Invite a top director, raise $1000 million by yourself, and invite four famous actors.Only then will he consider the plan.

Salma meets an angel who comes to save her.Antonio Banderas, Ashley Judd, Edward Norton and two-time Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush.

When she couldn't find a "top director" who could satisfy Harvey's ideal, she saw Claire Dorries described as "the ghost director of the new century" in the newspaper.

After she tried to get Claire's contact information, she tentatively called. Claire expressed that she was interested in Salma's script.

Salma has always been a Frida fan.

"I negotiated with the Mexican government, with all the necessary people, to be able to shoot in places that hadn't been used by anyone before, including the Frida Kahlo house and the murals of Kahlo's husband, Diego Rivera. .”

This saves a lot of trouble.

However, Claire told her: "You are not the protagonist I want. If I take this film, I already have the actors I need."

"Who?"

"Ms. Adjani." I need her madness.

Salma was a little melancholy. She did her best to make "Frida" start filming, and it was not that important whether she played the leading actress or not.

She joked and laughed: "Why not choose Madonna." Madonna is a fan of Frida and has collected some of her works. It is reported that she is extremely eager to play this role.

Claire shook her head and said to her, "No."

After all the personnel and equipment were set up, "Frida" officially announced the start of filming.

Spanish surrealist film master Luis Bruel accepted the invitation of Paramount Company to study in Hollywood in 1930. Later he wrote in his memoirs: "In Hollywood studios, anything is possible. , as long as they are willing, it seems that it is not impossible to reshape a universe." He described the maturity of the Hollywood movie model in every detail.

Regardless of the mature system, professional equipment and abundant talents, Hollywood is definitely a prosperous place for the film industry.

If we turn our attention to Europe, France, the birthplace of film, has gradually declined in recent years. Under the pressure of Hollywood, it has lost its position as the dominant film.
