[US Entertainment] Kise's Hollywood Diary

"This series of shots cannot be missed at all."

Danny Bauer decided to keep the arm cutting section intact, while other producers were worried about the scale problem. Mr. Director sneered at this concern, "This is the essence of the whole film. Otherwise, the audience will not know how serious the situation is. Thrilling, there is no contrast without foil.”

Vincent very much agrees with Danny Ball’s opinion on this point. The special effects and makeup team also made various adjustments to Vincent’s arm and his arm that can be faked according to the effects required by the production. Minor to extreme adjustments.

This series of shots that take up a lot of weight in the whole movie not only tests the performance of the actors and the post-production, but also puts the audience under the same pressure as the protagonist. When the initial effect came out, Danny- Bauer didn't think it was enough, but fortunately, his rationality made him vigilant that "too much is too late".

There are not many characters in this movie, and an extremely large part of the whole movie is focused on Vincent. By the time it was officially finished, the weather in the Grand Canyon of Colorado connecting the Colorado River Basin was already very hot.When the whole crew packed up and returned to New York, it happened to encounter the heaviest rain in New York this summer.

Coincidentally, just as Vincent cleaned up his whole body and was about to go to Broadway to watch a show, he met the old handsome guy Clint Eastwood.This great director finished shooting his new movie at the end of spring, and he didn't intend to rest at all, and immediately started to prepare for the new movie.

Vincent was not overly polite when he met Clint Eastwood. The two packed up and entered the arena. After watching a high-quality play, they exited the arena. Come down and talk.

"You look tanned a lot." The old handsome man grinned and looked at the young man. The more settled and mature temperament on the other party is really tempting others to cherish. This temptation can be either admiration or admiration. cherish.

Clint Eastwood is in the ranks of "Cherish". From the time of "The Age of Pentium", he has always wanted to work with this young man once, until several years later in "The Rock of My Heart" Only then can I get my wish.Now that another good script was placed in front of him, when Clint saw the character design, the first reaction in his mind was Vincent.

Even if he didn't meet by chance today, Clint would still find an opportunity to contact Vincent.

"Wind and sun, it's strange that it's not dark." Vincent took a sip of the ice water in the glass, he quickly checked his menu, and the director opposite him also decided on his dinner mix, and the two of them waited for the meal Before, there was a lot of time to chat.

"I plan to start preparing for this movie at the end of the year, and finish shooting before next summer." Clint glanced at the young man who listened carefully to his words, and continued, "Of course, it would be great to work with you again, if It doesn't matter if you have other arrangements."

The attitude of the old handsome guy is already very gentle and considerate. The problem is that Vincent has just finished filming "127 Hours", and his energy and physical fitness have been completely drained, and he cannot recover in a short time.He didn't want to refuse the opportunity thrown by Clint, but the most important thing was that Vincent didn't lack honors and trophies now.

Before the dishes were served, the two had a chat about Clint's new work. This kind of biographies shot by real, legendary characters with special attributes is to some extent the favorite of the Olympic Awards.If the adaptation of the script works well, the nomination for the year-end awards collection is safe, but the fear is that there will be no splashes and no influence, and even the praise and word-of-mouth will become vain.

In recent years, Hollywood has produced many biographical films of excellent quality, and the characters have mixed praise and criticism, and there is no shortage of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign.Vincent himself has acted in several films, and "To Cover Up", "Indomitable" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" can all be regarded as biographies.Including the just finished "127 Hours", it is still a biographical feature film.

Every year Oscar has a lot of character biopics on the nomination list, most of which are actor nominations.After Vincent had a preliminary understanding of the plot of the book in Clint Eastwood's hands, he felt that he was not interested in this type of script now.It's not that this book is bad, but what he needs now is a more conspicuous and out-of-the-ordinary breakthrough, not a stable output to consolidate the reputation of bad movies.

Although it was not suitable for him, he thought of another suitable candidate: Leonardo.

Clint Eastwood was not at all surprised by Vincent's "special recommendation". Vincent was only his No.1 choice, but before the filming started, no one could be sure who was the most suitable that one.

He saw Leonardo's performance in his eyes. After the obsession with winning the Olympics was gradually let go, Leonardo's "precipitation" largely realized his own great transformation.

Some actors' acting skills and standards are beyond reproach, but they lack a little luck, and such people include superstars like Leonardo.In addition to him, there are many such examples in Hollywood. Before Jeff Bridges didn't get the statuette in March, he could be regarded as a hard worker who was repeatedly nominated.However, now this buddy has taken the lead in "getting out of the sea of ​​suffering", leaving behind a kind of actors of the same age and those born in the 3s and 70s who competed in the same field.

This phenomenon of lack of luck and not being able to reach the top not only exists among the ranks of actors, but also among directors and screenwriters.Martin Scorsese survived the past 20 years. He thought he could reach the top in one fell swoop with his masterpieces, but in the end, he got the same "consolation" and dreamed of "consolation" in a biography of an unpopular figure who almost didn't make a splash. Best Director Award.

After Clint heard the list recommended by Vincent, his first reaction was to involuntarily superimpose the image of the protagonist and Leonardo himself, and the result was not unacceptable.If you want to further enrich the protagonist's image, you can even modify those very detailed parts according to some characteristics of the actor himself.

After the two films "Shutter Island" and "Inception", Leonardo still has a lot of scripts waiting for him to choose, but he still has a definite plan.

The handsome old man couldn't hide the smile in his eyes when he heard that it was interesting. The two happily chatted about topics such as dramas and novels, and the dishes in front of them became secondary instead.

By the time Vincent finished his trip to New York, the summer vacation was in full swing.This year's blockbuster movie war kicked off early in March.

"Alice in Wonderland" raked in nearly $9 million at the global box office at the threshold of Oscar grabbing attention, and this number is still growing.The following "Clash of the Gods" has some flaws in word-of-mouth, but it still does not affect the ability of this film to attract money. However, compared with the actors and casts that appear in the film, the statistics until the release of the film are less than 5 million US dollars. The global box office is only barely reaching the passing line.

These two films have been chasing each other on the North American box office list for a month and a half. "Iron Man 5", which was released in early May, directly reaped the benefits, and "Shrek 2", which followed closely, also followed suit. It failed to break through the box office barrier of "Iron Man 4", allowing the other party to lock in a position on the annual list in advance.

In mid-June, "Toy Story 6" locked in three consecutive big wins. As of mid-July, it looks like it will surpass "Alice in Wonderland" in the first half of the year.To some extent, this year's box office market is much hotter than last year.None of the Hollywood giants are willing to suffer a loss, and each of them has made a lot of money.

"Inception" is scheduled for mid-July, and Vincent simply stayed in New York for the time being to attend the premiere before going back, leaving Frank to prepare and handle other matters.

"Shutter Island", which was released at the beginning of this year, can be said to be big or small, but whether it is a professional filmmaker or a movie fan audience, if you evaluate it from the perspective of the leading actor Leonardo, this movie is detached. Success, the tacit understanding cultivated by Martin Scorsese and Leonardo's many cooperations has not failed in vain.

Although the box office results are not good enough, judging from Leonardo's desire to get rid of the "shadow" of the top box office results of "Big Boat" for so many years, this may really be the effect he needs-without the filter bonus of the box office, everyone will be able to get out of the box office. Will pay more attention to the quality of the movie itself.

After the trailer of "Inception" came out, many people ridiculed Leonardo for being smart this time, knowing that he couldn't put all his eggs in the same basket - word of mouth and trophies are needed, as well as salary and dividends!

Nolan smiled at this and said nothing: It is true that he has made many commercial films with big production and high box office, but who dares to say that these films are just money-making without thinking?

This wave of face-slapping tornado came quickly and fiercely. On the night of the premiere of "Inception", everyone was in a state of confusion: This movie is so good!But I couldn't digest what was going on in the plot at all!Is it because my IQ is not enough?

Film critics are also confused. Many of them are accustomed to using the clichéd three-point method to make movies. The beginning, the middle, and the end, or the starring point, director's point, and feature point, and the film review is almost done.However, the premiere impression of "Inception" couldn't be written smoothly - Nolan is simply too treacherous!Leonardo is also learning bad now!

Isn't this a blatant way for people to go to the cinema for the second time, the third time or even more?Otherwise, can you guarantee that you really figured out the plot development of the movie?Compared with the status quo where film critics are so angry that they want to post negative reviews to express their feelings, the audience who watched the premiere were hooked—just like people who don’t understand Yangchun Baixue still feel elegant, although the first time the movie I didn't understand it, but it doesn't affect everyone's judgment on whether the film is good or not.

Leonardo, who returned to the hotel from the premiere that night, could be said to be proud of himself. After Schulte sent him the approximate box office estimate for the premiere, the expression on the man's face became brighter.Vincent received the edited script from Clint Eastwood, and he pulled someone who was rolling on the bed over: "Here, let's see if it works."

He was so embarrassing.
