Acting King's Daily [Comprehensive British and American]

"James, coffee."

Jon Landau, the producer of "Titanic", came to the screening room with coffee and put one of the coffees on the table next to Cameron, "I heard that you have locked yourself in the screening room for two hours. What's the matter, are you still not satisfied with Rose's choice?"

When Kate Winslet was called to audition earlier, Jon Landau was also there, but halfway through he was called away by the executives of Twentieth Century Fox Studios. The current budget of "Titanic" is as high as [-] million U.S. dollars, which is the highest budget in film history. Fox naturally attaches great importance to this project. Just wait to lose your panties.Therefore, Jon Landau is not the only production team. It is true that he often follows up with Cameron, but the opinions of the production team of "Titanic" in Fox are not so unified. Not only are the opinions of the production team not unified, but the opinions of the production team and director Cameron are often at odds.

For example, for the role of Jack before, the studio was very fond of Matthew McConaughey, but Cameron disagreed, so there will be an audition later, and Leonardo Dicap will be selected Leo, the production team also discussed for a long time before reluctantly agreeing.

Now Rose's casting is also the same. Since Leonardo is not famous, should he work hard on the popularity of the heroine, but a bunch of Hollywood actresses who are at least B-list level have also been rejected by Cameron.The production team is not very happy, not to mention that the actress Kate Winslet, who Cameron is solemnly auditioning, is not well-known in Hollywood.

Yes, there is also the candidate for the role of Carl. Thinking of this question, Jon Doyle's expression is so subtle.

Without saying a word, Cameron asked Jon Landau to come over and watch the video of the previous show together. The first part was Kate Winslet auditioning Rose alone. It came out because I worked hard to figure out Rose's character; the second part is Rose played by Kate Winslet and Jack played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Ruth decides not to meet with Jack under her mother's begging, and Jack sneaks into the first-class cabin to find her. In this scene, Kate has more psychological dramas. Pretend to be strong.

It has to be said that the British girl's performance was fresh and refined, and Jon Landau was judging in his heart.

Then there is a scene. At the end of the story, the Titanic is about to sink, and only women and children can board the lifeboats on board. Jack sends Rose to the lifeboat, and in this scene, Rose’s fiancé Carl is also there. Next to them, the two of them partnered to lie to Rose that they had another lifeboat and let Rose go first.In this scene, Carl has a scene with Jack...

After all the videos were played, Cameron asked his old partner, "What do you think?"

Jon Landau did not comment directly. He seemed to answer the question and said: "Uh, you know the studio called to inquire about the casting process, right? Although the role of Carl is not the protagonist like Jack, his role is not Quite a lot, it stands to reason that the studio would not agree to let someone who is not famous - don't stare at me first, I'm telling the truth, you think Eric's acting skills are good, but you haven't considered him so far The fact that there hasn’t been a production yet, right?—Young people playing the role, which doesn’t help the box office in the studio’s opinion, they don’t want to take risks, but you know what, I just took the original film Eric’s makeup photos taken by the stylist and sent to them, and they agreed.”

Cameron despises the studio in his heart for "reading dishes". He is a little sympathetic to Matthew McConaughey now. If Matthew McConaughey also has such a handsome face, look at the producer. Will the factory stick to it?However, "Since when have you been so long-winded? The point."

"Eric is a bit too stealthy." Jon Landau choked up and said what was in his heart without going around the corner.

Cameron was noncommittal: "Continue."

Jon Landau didn't doubt that he was there, so he talked about it: "Kate's performance is remarkable, as for Leonardo, how should I say it, he didn't play with Eric when he played with Kate Sometimes—well, sparks? I don't know if it's because of the side effect of the scene I saw him and Eric play against Rose. Speaking of which, Kate's version of Rose, regardless of appearance In other words, it is not as elegant and natural as Eric's, and her accent can only be said to be the British accent of the general public, not as expensive as Eric's accent at the time."

Jon Landau spoke eloquently, but Cameron gave him a hard look after he finished speaking: "You really talked a lot today."

Jon Landau: "..." He #无约工具有热工#, right?

Wait, Jon Landau seems to understand that Jack and Rose are the absolute protagonists in the movie Big Ship, and the role of Carl is not only a supporting role, but also more like a villain-to contrast Rose and Rose. The role of Jack's unswerving love - played by Gu Qing, even though Carl's behavior is really scumbag and ugly, but his appearance is enough, not to mention his acting skills are the most exquisite among the three, It wouldn't be so nice to have a show that's too much of a distraction, and that's why his grumpy old partner is so... moody?

Thinking of this, Jon Landau had a bad premonition, and he asked tentatively, "You don't want to change your mind and not let Eric act, do you?"

Cameron did not speak immediately.

Jon Landau's heart skipped a beat, wishing he could slap himself and call you a crow's mouth!

Cameron spoke slowly after a while: "Actually, I thought about asking Eric to transform into a woman to play Rose."

Jon Land said: "..." How could he continue with these words! !

Fortunately, the great director was only thinking about it, and Gu Qing's morals were still sticking to his post, so this thing that would be recorded in the annals of film history died just like that.After thinking about it, Jon Landau heaved a long sigh of relief, and then he heard Cameron make up his mind and said: "I've decided——"

"I'll let the little bastard play Carl!"

Jon Landau, who was already mentally prepared that he didn't want Gu Qing to play Carl, almost staggered and fell off the chair when he heard this, #我衣衣都在了，你让我看这个#!

Sure enough, the artist and the logical death are only one step away?

——No, there is still a thousand logical deaths between director Cameron, an artist, and Gu Qing, an #投资死#.

……

Although the casting of "Titanic" has gone through various twists and turns, but #阳光常在风雨后#, the next person to play the role of Carl will be fascinated by the production team regardless of whether it is three or seven 21 After being settled, Rose, who was sought after by Hollywood and even actresses all over the world, also passed the director level and submitted it to the studio. The studio is not so arbitrary this time, they are discussing After waiting for a long time, seeing that Cameron is still so #它定青山不待待#, and they also wanted to launch "Titanic" as soon as possible, they made a compromise and approved the actress selected by Cameron, from the UK Kate Winslet.

Other actors have also been in place one after another, but "Titanic" is really not so easy to start shooting.How should I put it, the root cause is that the film is not perfect, only a more perfect Cameron. To what extent does he strive for perfection? When preparing for this film, Cameron wanted the shipyard to rebuild Build a Titanic, and then... and then in the filming, let this re-created ship crash and sink like in history.

A prodigal son who is not in charge of the family and doesn't know how expensive he is, or a brat with capital letters!

Naturally, 3th Century Fox would not agree. Under such circumstances, Cameron privately invited Gu Qing as a foreign aid. As the technical director, Gu Qing definitely overfulfilled the task. He made the Titanic, a dream ship. The [-]D super stereo images come out, absolutely lifelike, and the details can be accurately simulated.

Just like that, Cameron still disliked him. The reason of the great director is very good and powerful. He thinks that the technology provided by Gu Qing is too trendy, and because it is only a simulation, not an entity, he has no sense of security ← Who is more ruthless now? Cold and unreasonable?

Leaving aside this "interlude", Cameron and [-]th Century Fox each took a step back in the end, and they reached a consensus: build half of the ship, and use props with opposite characters to shoot the other half, and then show the film upside down, so that Finally, what will be presented to the audience will be a perfect whole ship.

The starting time is pushed back, not only the shipbuilding issue, but also the etiquette training issues for many actors including Kate, costumes, props, etc. must be properly prepared... All in all, the earliest "Titanic" filming will have to wait until two After a month.

Gu Qing, who was despised for being too trendy in technology, resigned from his position as the technical director of "Titanic", and returned to Sterak Industries after learning from the pain. Two weeks later, his exclusive laboratory announced the completion of a Sequencing of genes related to central nervous diseases, and then applying for a gene patent through Sterak Industries, and the commercial value of this gene is initially estimated by experts to be as high as [-] million U.S. dollars - the Human Genome Project is a step taken by human beings to explore their own mysteries This is an extremely important step that has far-reaching and great significance, and at the same time it means that human gene sequencing and gene patents will bring huge commercial value.

Flowers and applause came.

Not only that, Gu Qing was also nominated for this year's Summit Award.

By the way, the most famous nominee, winner and frequent visitor of the Apex Award is the chairman of Stark Industries, Tony Stark. I just don’t know if Mr. Stark will come to guide this year.
