atypical hollywood life

"So, who do you think is more suitable?" Robin Grande stared at George Lucas and said with a smile.

George Lucas gave a dry laugh. He really didn't do it very well.The candidates selected by Robin were picked by him, and he kept negating and negating. Keira Knightley was personally selected by him after negating more than 30 candidates.This can't really be blamed on Robin.But he was unwilling to let him go through the primary selection layer by layer.In terms of the most difficult directors in Hollywood, he must be in the top ten.

"Don't worry about this, take your time, I trust your vision."

Facing Robin Grande's gloomy eyes, as if he would strike if he dared to say something, George really didn't have the confidence.After all, it is Robin who runs around in various places, and it is also Robin who looks through movie after movie to find outstanding actors, and it is still Robin who looks at photos and resumes every time the primary election is over.Oddly enough, George felt a little guilty.

"It's really not urgent, maybe a more suitable candidate will appear in a few years." Producer Rick interjected, "The sandstorm seems to have stopped."

After everyone went to the window, they found that the sandstorm had stopped.George, Rick and several staff members quickly ran out of the room.They're going to see how much the props and sets that can't move are destroyed, and it takes time to recreate these things, and it's not good to delay the filming of the film.

The results of the inspection are quite satisfactory, and things can be completed after a delay of two or three days, which makes both director George and producer Rick breathe a sigh of relief.The time and money wasted on the re-creation of props and installations was far less than the delay of the film, especially since they had completed the British chamber work ahead of schedule.This made them at least half a month ahead of schedule, and now it seems that there should be no problem with the film being completed on time.

The non-staff members were given a holiday, and George and Rick went to reset things for the crew.

Margaret turns down an offer to hang out with Victoria.Going outside to go shopping in July in Tunisia, which has a strong Mediterranean atmosphere?Not to mention how uncomfortable the dry and hot climate makes her skin, let alone the terrible sun!That was something scarier than the sunshine in Los Angeles, so she didn't want to have intimate contact with these damn ultraviolet rays!In the end, Victoria could only go shopping with Keira Knightley, mother and daughter.We are all British, and it is easier to communicate.Although Victoria, an Englishman, is very impure.

As for Margaret, she wandered back to the room to read the pile of scripts sent by her agent, Brian Lord.

According to Bryan, she has never been seen so lazy, such an unmotivated actress.Even if there is the curse of being an Oscar-winning actress for three years, but Margaret has no boyfriend, second is not married, and she is so young, she can afford to lose three years, but this is a matter of attitude.Brian severely criticized her for never taking the initiative to take on the drama, and relying on her strong agent network, she searched everywhere for a bunch of scripts that she could act in at her age and mailed them over. Of course, Margaret's title as the youngest Oscar-winning actress is there, and various studios will hand it over to him if there is a suitable script.But in fact, the poor Mr. Manager has no idea that he is facing a guy who is extremely lazy.Apart from work, rest and diet, Margaret will never be diligent about other things.Unless he really finds Margaret's own very favorite script, otherwise this extremely liberal guy will not start work at all.

Now Margaret is resentful while watching TV while flipping through the script.Alas, I miss Q so much. When I turn over the script, I should lick the cat while flipping through it, and I can also eat some small dried fish by the way.Margaret thought regretfully.

"Huh? Voice work on The Prince of Egypt?"

Margaret flipped through the remarks made by Brian at the back of the thin script, DreamWorks animation production, the release date is set for December 400 next year.This movie is the second animated film of DreamWorks, and it is also an ambitious work. The theme is Moses Exodus. It would be a good gimmick to invite the Oscar queen to do the dubbing.For this they paid a price of [-] million.After calculating her work itinerary and looking at the label again, Margaret put the job invitation on the right hand side and continued to scroll down.

""Hua Mulan"?"

Margaret turned directly to the last page to read Brian's remarks. This time it was Disney's animation, and the story was based on the Mulan that Margaret was familiar with.Brian specifically noted that Disney is very sincere. This sincerity is not only reflected in the contacts sent by the other party, but also in the salary, which is 400 million more than the 200 million offered by DreamWorks, reaching an astonishing 600 million.For a dubbed cartoon, Disney's salary is about the same as the dubbing salary for top superstars.Brian speculates that this is for Margaret's influence in the Chinese market.

Yes, the influence of the Chinese market.Since "Interview with the Vampire" became the only two overseas blockbusters introduced to the mainland in 1994, to the large-scale screening of "Romeo and Juliet", both of Margaret's films have been released in mainland China.And it's still uncut.Especially the R-rated movie "Interview with the Vampire", there is also a scene in which Claudia sees a naked woman through the gap in the window, this can be passed!This kind of treatment really made Brian wonder if the head of the mysterious organization was a loyal fan of Margaret, otherwise why would he treat her so favorably?

Of course, it’s not that he didn’t consider the reason Arthur Miller said. This old gentleman visited China in the 70s and conducted cultural exchanges. He was also a victim of McCarthyism, and he is a veritable old friend of the Chinese people. .But this does not mean that Margaret has the same political leanings as her grandfather.Brian was puzzled by this and could only classify the matter as a mysterious event.

If Margaret knew about his thoughts, she would tell him. You have forgotten that Catherine is also a pro-communist, and she also acted in a movie about Japan’s invasion of China. This country is a society of human feelings. Many of the blessings of one generation will be extended to the younger generation.You can tell by looking at Lilian's works, this is a book that has entered the list of the official publishing house.Not to mention that neither "Interview with the Vampire" nor "Romeo and Juliet" are politically sensitive subjects, and there is nothing taboo in the movie, and even the resumes of the actors are clean.At this time, mainland movies are still in an era of superior regulation. If you don’t import old friends’ movies, why should you import other people’s movies?

As for "Mulan", this is a movie that Disney intends to enter the mainland of China. They hope that there will be an influential star in China as the dubbing of the heroine, which can be used as a publicity stunt.Although you can't make much money entering the market that is not so open now, the market needs to be cultivated.No matter how much the box office can get, this is always a good start. Who knows when this country with a population of 13 billion will open up its film policy?At that time, the foundation of the present will be the banknotes of the future.So after choosing and choosing, the only influential Margaret in modern times came into their eyes.The new Oscar queen, both movies were released there, her face is quite familiar, and her age is also very suitable.So the invitation was handed over to Brian.

I looked at the schedule, and it will be released next year, on June [-]th. Dubbing is not a lot of work, so I took it.Putting the script of "Mulan" on top of "The Prince of Egypt", Margaret continued to read.

""Peerless Heavenly Tribulation"?"

Margaret couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, she thought the third book would continue to be a cartoon.Unexpectedly, Brian gave her such a big "surprise".

She didn't need to read the script to know what it was about, not to mention the logic of a group of oil drilling workers flying to the meteorite to plant a bomb.This seemingly pleasing movie has both handsome men and beautiful women, but it is a pity that the handsome man is facial paralyzed, the beautiful woman is a vase, and the protagonist is actually an out-of-date action superstar with a worrying hairline. The highlight is the director's endless creativity The fried fried fried top.

She didn't want to complain that she and the hero's style of painting didn't match at all.Just talking about the age of the heroine, she married her boyfriend at the end of the movie, so how can her age not be compatible with marriage, right?Is it true that the male protagonist can't play with her face, which is obviously ten years younger than his?Not to mention the face of Ben Affleck himself. Not everyone in Hollywood is like Leo who is in his 20s and has a youthful face. Zhang looked like a confused young man who had never entered this rank.What the hell was Michael Bay thinking?Don't you think it would be out of character for her to stand with Ben Affleck?

Margaret sighed and turned directly to Brian's remarks at the end. She was almost stunned when she glanced at it. See what the hell Brian wrote?

The director of some movie, Michael Bay, admired her very much, and tried his best to persuade the producer to invite her to participate in this movie. As long as she came, the audition was just a formality, and the role must be hers.And with the greatest sincerity, not only was the remuneration fully paid, it directly reached 1200 million. You must know that Brian’s remuneration for "Phantom of the Opera" was only 1000 million. By the way, she made "Romeo and Juliet" "At the time, the film salary was only 50, which was a quarter of Leo's, and it was less than the original heroine Natalie Portman, and it was only given for her Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.The remuneration for "Star Wars Prequel" is only 700 million. Of course, this is the price of the first film, and it will definitely increase in the future.But for the sake of being a shareholder of the company, she was willing to accept this loss.

In fact, it is not surprising to think about it. The box office of "Romeo and Juliet" is enough to prove her appeal. It is not an achievement that ordinary movies can achieve.For this, coupled with the halo of the Oscar queen, Disney is also willing to pay the money.From the perspective of box office appeal, although she has only made two films, both of them have exploded at the box office, and the price is indeed worthwhile.

In addition, the other party promised to modify the script for her, remove the intimacy scene in the film, and change the kiss scene into a borrowed form and so on.Well, anyway, the rating of this commercial blockbuster is PG-13, and the highlight is a bomb, and the kiss won't last long, so it's not bad to simply remove it and change it to a borrowed seat to take care of her, a minor.There is also Brian's direct opinion, saying that makeup is needed anyway, and it is not a problem to turn her into a 20-something with the current superb makeup technology, so feel free to shoot boldly.

Margaret felt like she was in a state of being out of words right now, had Brian forgotten that he was talking to Andrew Webber about The Phantom of the Opera?Although they won't be able to start filming at the end of this year, at least you don't want to steal someone's corner so openly!
