Acting King's Daily [Comprehensive British and American]

The news that Tony is happy to be a father has spread in the circle for some reason, and superheroes who are doing missions all over the world have sent congratulatory messages.

Tony used his toes to figure out who shared the news.

He drove at full speed to hurt the little friends who sent congratulatory messages. After doing this well, he looked down at one of his abs, and silently thought that maybe he really needed to do some exercise.

If there was anything else that made Tony happy, it was that the current issue of the newspaper that published the news about the baby was doing very well.

Well, this Tony shouldn't be happy.

However, the media, who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic and will not sell for the sake of sales, saw business opportunities from this incident, and they began to take stock of celebrities who had a "mid-life crisis", focusing on being handsome when they were young. Compared with celebrities with great figures, actors who have been known as heartthrobs in Hollywood are given special attention.

For example, Tom Cruise, who was terribly handsome back then, and Brad Pitt, who was considered comparable to him in the future, and then transitioned to the turn of Gu Qing and Leonardo.The former pair was compared inhumanely because they starred in "Interview with the Vampire" together, while the latter pair were good friends, and they also starred in "Titanic" together. In addition, Gu Qing is one of the two richest and most handsome men in the United States. one.

This should be happy for Tony, because his own mid-life crisis has triggered the discussion of other celebrities' mid-life crises in the American media. This is the celebrity effect.

Let's not talk about how Tony feels about this matter, let's go back to the filming of Spider-Man's story.

From the perspective of the outside world, ET Films has definitely tasted a big sweetness in the live-action superhero movie. "Iron Man" and "Captain America" ​​have both box office and word-of-mouth success. The social significance brought by "Captain America" ​​alone is Extraordinary.In this way, it is impossible for ET Films to give up this increasingly mature film route that other Hollywood film companies cannot do, so the development of other live-action superhero film projects is put on the agenda.

Referring to the current situation, Spiderman is the best choice.

How should I put it, Iron Man's personality is too unique, and he is too rich, so he is only suitable to be envied and hated; He is the most down-to-earth young man, and he is called "a good neighbor in New York", so he is generally a model of "coming from the masses, going to the masses".

Plus, teenage superheroes need a leader.

In addition to the "Spiderman" movie project, Gu Qing also put a mutant movie project on the agenda.

In 2002, the superheroes of the Avengers had a solid foundation, and then the X-Men on the side of the mutants also stepped onto the world stage. They were accepted by more and more ordinary people, and the X-Men and the AM firm The reserve X-Men on the side are also admired by ordinary people. This is a very good start, so it is necessary for Gu Qing to give fuel to the mutants as he did for the Avengers while the iron is hot.

For this reason, Gu Qing has focused most of his energy on ET Film Company since last year, and ET Film Company is also advancing like a rocket. Take last year as an example, the films produced and released by it include "Magic" Quit Part Two: The Two Towers, Simone, and Captain America were released, and he also produced Gangs of New York, which will be released at the end of this year.

Among them, "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" and "Captain America" ​​have a global box office of more than one billion US dollars, and "Simone" has a good reputation. The films are all related to Gu Qing, and apart from "Titanic" and "Gait Shot" which were not produced by ET Film Company (ET Film Company did not exist at that time), the others were all produced and distributed by ET Film Company.

This alone is enough to be proud of the film industry.

And this year, "The Return of the King", the last part of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, will be released. As the most magnificent scene, and it is also the finale, the box office will definitely not be lower than the first two.

In addition, this year ET Films cast and prepared "Batman Prequel" for two years, and it will also start shooting, and two years is enough to grind this film project into a trilogy. Director Nolan said so Thinking about it, if possible, he wished he could learn the same way as the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. After all, the big boss's schedule is too tight, and God knows when he will be able to find time for the next movie.

This point can be seen from the "Matrix" trilogy series. "The Matrix" and "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" have already been released, but the third part, according to Gu Qing's schedule, is likely to become lifetime.

Well...that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's good to have time to shoot in five years.

Anyway, Gu Qing is not in a hurry.

Speaking of it this way, Gu Qing will spend most of his time at ET Films this year.

On this day, when James Cameron, who has not made a serious film since "Titanic" (during which he wrote other films such as "Terminator 3" does not count), came to see Gu Qing, he came directly to ET Film company headquarters.

Seeing the great director, Gu Qing was overjoyed and said, "I'm going to find you, James."

Cameron swallowed back what he originally wanted to say, "Are you looking for me? What's the matter?"

Gu Qing replied: "I want to ask if you have any intention of directing again."

Cameron let out a "ha": "You said that I seem to have been very bad before, and this time I want to make a comeback."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "If this understanding makes you happy, I don't care."

Cameron: "...you want me to direct your new mutant movie?"

"No, I mean "Spider-Man." Gu Qing propped his elbows on the desk, and continued: "As for the mutant film project you mentioned, I think I will direct it, after all, it is my mommy. As for the story with Daddy, it’s more sincere for me to be a son, isn’t it?”

Cameron sat down politely with Gu Qing and asked, "Have you discussed it with Professor X?"

"Hm, I discussed it with Magneto."

Cameron glared at him, so couldn't he have a positive shape? !

Gu Qing skipped the unclear sentence just now, and answered Cameron's question: "I discussed it with Charles, not only him, but also the mutants involved in the script. Of course, some mutants have passed away. It's a pity that I couldn't find a way to summon their souls - don't stare at me, don't you know that there is a scientific basis for the term 'soul', and there is a long-dead scientist in one of my underground bases His mental body was locked in a supercomputer, and he wasn't a mutant before he died... You're not even interested in that, are you?"

Cameron is interested. After all, even if an ordinary person encounters such a curious thing, he will be interested and want to know more, okay?

But this is useless, Gu Qing just doesn't talk about this topic.

Cameron took a deep breath and didn't let himself get angry, "Since you have already made up your mind, then I have nothing to say."

Cameron came here because of the mutant film project, and he wanted to be the director.

"James, don't rush to leave—" Before Gu Qing finished speaking, Cameron interrupted angrily: "Did I say I'm leaving?!"

Gu Qing was silent for a moment before speaking: "I misunderstood, I solemnly apologize to you."

Cameron: "..." This makes him even more unreasonable, doesn't it?snort! "What else do you need?"

Gu Qing lowered his eyes and said: "Actually, I intend to confess one thing to the public, and this matter, I really find it so difficult to say."

But I really didn't see it.

"But I don't want to continue to hide it, because if I continue to hide it, not only will I hurt the people around me, but I will also be ashamed of the fans who love me, and others—"

The more Cameron listened, the more suspicious Gu Qing said, and he couldn't wait to interrupt Gu Qing: "Wait, you guys are planning to come out, right?"

"Come out? No."

Gu Qing seemed quite surprised that Cameron came to such a conclusion. Before Cameron had time to think, "If it's not coming out, then what is it?" Gu Qing said again: "I think you have something to do with my sexuality, James. Misunderstood, I was never straight, how can I say 'I'm not straight, I'm gay'."

Cameron gritted his teeth: "You just have to talk to me, right! Well, even if you didn't come out, you just declared that you are gay—"

This time it was Gu Qing's turn to interrupt him: "I'm not going to talk about it."

The unbearable director shouted: "...Eric Xavier!!"

Fortunately, no sparks came out. After a while, when Cameron calmed down, he gritted his back molars and said, "What the hell are you trying to do?"

Gu Qing didn't intend to do any great things, he just claimed to the outside world that he was a mutant.

...that would be an understatement.

This happened on a sunny afternoon, and ET Films held a press conference.This press conference is to explain the next film project plan of their film company. Before the press conference, the E family set their sights on the mutants after attacking the superheroes of the Avengers. About the X-Men around, even a little well-informed almost knows about it, this time it depends on whether they want to confirm it.

To be honest, mutants are really an unexplored part of the entertainment industry.Even aliens have many movies, many of which are classics. Of course, before this, everyone did not think that aliens really exist in this universe.What's more, after the aliens invaded New York that year, it seems that no one has ever made an alien movie, except for "Star Wars Episode [-]", which was planned.

However, that's not the point.

The point is that the ET family wants to make a movie related to mutants, and everyone doesn't find it difficult to understand.Firstly, mutants are no longer such a taboo topic now, ordinary people’s tolerance towards them is increasing day by day with the appearance of aliens and the contributions made by superheroes to the earth; secondly, EX he Originally, he was very independent, and "Gait close" could explain the problem before, but now he dares to be the first to eat crabs, which is a matter of course.

Thinking about it this way, the reporters have already prepared their drafts and are ready to ask questions in the questioning session later.

And, this press conference came to a lot of media, and there was even a live broadcast, probably because EX has less and less appeared in front of the public, and he didn't even attend the previous Golden Globe awards ceremony. The E family has two films that have been shortlisted for a lot of nominations.

...Don't talk about the fact that you were only nominated but didn't win an award.

This time, EX finally came out after long-awaited.

Hmm... still handsome in a mess, which is really great, not being led astray by that good friend we all know.

——Here is the previous vigorous "middle-aged crisis event", and the good friend is Leonardo. The specific accident is that when Leonardo was mentioned in this event, the report quoted Stills from "Gangs of New York" some time ago.In the stills, the once handsome and beautiful boy "Jack" has also become a rough guy because of the needs of the plot.Although that is just a plot requirement, it is actually predictable what Leonardo will look like if he has a midlife crisis.

Feelings are all emotions, I still have to do my job well.

So during the questioning session, a reporter asked Gu Qing about the fact that ET Film Company confirmed that they had a mutant movie project: "Eric, what is the reason that drove you to do a movie project with mutants as the theme?" Woolen cloth?"

There may be too many options for this question. The reporters also predicted what kind of answer Gu Qing would give before asking. The more capricious the answer, the more likely it is. For example, it is very straightforward to say "for making money", or it is nothing. Logical "because I have the same last name as the head of their X-Men", or "because Mr. Stark has a good relationship with mutants"... and so on.

It's a pity that none of them guessed correctly——

Gu Qing replied without any foreshadowing: "Because I am a mutant."
