[US Entertainment] From web dramas to Oscars

Who is Edward Zwick?There are countless big directors in Hollywood, although his reputation may not be as famous as James Cameron and Spielberg.However, as one of the few directors in Hollywood who won the Oscar for Best Director, his status in Hollywood is also extremely high. "Shakespeare in Love," the Best Picture Oscar winner, set a record 13 Oscar nominations and won six Oscars.It is also one of the best classics among the best pictures at the Oscars.And it's not just that, if he can really star in "Blood Diamond", then Fopper's road to becoming an actor will undoubtedly be much smoother.

"Hurry up, dear." Yuqing spoke loudly, so Chris probably heard a little bit of the conversation between the two of Fopper. At this time, Chris was eager to let Fopper have something to do.After all, Fopper was going to have a nervous breakdown if he played any longer now.

"Then I'm leaving." After thinking about it for a while, this matter is still quite important, and it will take a few days to choose a gift, so Fopper said: "You can take a stroll here first, and if you have something good, buy it , and then I’ll give you money when I go home, and I’m leaving, I love you.” Finally, after saying something to Chris and kissing Chris, Fopper quickly left.

"I love you too." With a kiss back, Chris waved goodbye.

And it seemed that Yuqing also attached great importance to today's activities. Just as Fopper went down and stayed at the door for a while, Yuqing's car stopped in front of him.Get in the car, drive away, all in one go.

Came to Director Zwick's house.In fact the assignment doesn't say anything at all.Zwick was very impressed with Fopper because of the Blood Diamond script.

"So do you think you can be qualified for the role in your script?" After talking with Zwick for a while, their topic naturally turned to the selection of actors for the script.In fact, Zwick is very professional about this.He believes that even Fopper took on the screenwriting of the film.And I have to say, this script is also damn attractive to him.However, as a world-renowned director.In other words, in order not to tarnish this Oscar-worthy script, Zwick's requirements for actors will be very high.

"Whether it's the leading actor or the supporting actor, I can do it." Raising his eyebrows, Fopper spoke very confidently.

"Oh?" Zwick was surprised to hear Fopper's words.Why do you say this, because Fopper said that he is not only competent as the leading actor, but also as a supporting actor.In the script of "Blood Diamond", the one who requires the highest acting skills is not the leading actor, but the supporting actor.

There has long been a saying on the African continent: If you want to live a long life, don't touch diamonds.In some African countries, diamonds are the source of funds used by the military to purchase armaments, and they are also the reason for years of war.Every diamond produced in a country at war has the blood of an African miner or a war victim glued on it.Therefore, the diamonds here are called - blood diamonds.And Fopper's movie is about what happens after a commoner hides diamonds for his life.This Solomon, who lives among the bottom people and wants to climb up and steal diamonds for a living, needs more difficult acting skills.Because it is a kind of madness and helplessness of living at the bottom and trying to climb up for the sake of the family. Blood Diamond is one such film.

"Can you act well?" He didn't question Fopper's acting skills.Because after "The Tuner" and "Spirit: Ghost Story", Fopper's acting skills will no longer be questioned.

"Of course." Nodded: "If you don't believe me, you'll find out when my next movie plays." Without saying anything else, Fopper chose another way to impress Zwick.

"You mean Mr. and Mrs. Smith?"

"No." It was the other who shook his head: "You will know when the time comes."

"Okay." Nodding, Zwick Meiyu said more. "Blood Diamond" wants to shoot, and there is still a lot of time for preparation.So, he had time to see what was so exciting about that movie.It was possible to impress Fopper with such confidence.

By the time I was talking to Zwick, it was already evening.

"How is it? Do you want to stay for dinner?" Zwick has never liked an actor like this.Not only because of his acting skills, but also because of his vision for the future of movies.When every director does what he does, what he wants is no longer a director who sticks to the rules.What they want is innovation, a new form of cinema.When Zwick was chatting with Fopper, Fopper had a long-term vision for future movies.When communicating with him, what Zwick felt was the feeling of a confidant.When chatting about film technology, Fopper's admiration for 3D made Zwick feel that Cameron was more suitable for him.

"That's really an honor." With such a close opportunity, how could Fopper not seize it, and no one would let go of the kindness of a world-class director.

If they have the same hobbies, then time flies very quickly. Zwick and Fopper are undoubtedly people with the same interests. You can talk endlessly about the filming techniques and various story plots of the movie.What's more, the movie "Blood Diamond" Zwick has confirmed that it will be filmed.Well, as a screenwriter, and possibly even the main actor, Fopper, of course, can also discuss various plots of the movie with the director.

In fact, compared with the original version of "Blood Diamond", Fopper has changed a little.At least, in the original version, Solomon is a black man.And this can also reflect the characteristics of the native people of Africa.And this is because Fopper wanted to play the role of Solomon, so this role was changed by Fopper to a laborer who was not born and raised in Africa, but abducted to Africa.

As for this plot, Zwick is somewhat contrary to Fopper's opinion.

"Since it's something about Africa, shouldn't the native Solomon be able to embody the attitude of striving to climb higher?" Zwick's opinion is the same as the plot of "Blood Diamond" in Fopper's memory: "I I know that you might very much want to play the role of Solomon. But, you have to know, when ordinary people watch movies, most of them will watch the main character. Unless the supporting role is extremely wonderful. And such cases are rare. Zwick woke Fopper up.During the in-depth conversation, Zwick certainly knew where Fopper's greatest weakness was.Acting, of course.In fact, no matter who it is, after seeing the tuner and "Spiritual Ghost Records", they will be amazed at Fopper's acting skills.As for the subsequent funds, of course, Goldfinger Studio rejected the acquisition of many film tycoons. This matter is not a secret among the high-level circles.So Fopper, who is one of the owners of Goldfinger Studio, certainly doesn't lack any money.

And what is Fopper missing now?Fame, yes, what is still missing is a pattern that the Hollywood public can accept.

As I said before, the history of Hollywood is too long.So the long time has made him very mature in various aspects.If an actor wants to win a high position, he must go through a series of processes.And you can't be called an A-list star until your first choice is the leading role in most movies.

Fopper is actually making a little less film now.Although every movie is very impressive.But the heart of the movie is not widely spread.As a network drama, "Exploding Family" has spread widely.But to be honest, in "Exploding Family", Martina's performance is far higher than Fopper's.

Therefore, what Zwick means is that as long as you have the opportunity to be the leading actor, then don't hesitate, just do it.Because of this, you can be accepted and known by the public at the fastest speed.And when you can already be remembered by most people, then it's time for you to become a top star in the world.

"Thank you. Actually, I know this too, but in fact I have some other thoughts. So..." Shrugging, Fopper said that he still needs to look again.

Of course Fopper knew what Zwick said, or he knew it better than anyone else.However, he still needs to continue to wait and see.Why, or because of the damn skin color problem.If he is Caucasian, then there is no need to say anything, just go.But he is not.Therefore, he needs to step by step down to earth.The shooting time of "Blood Diamond" will be later.So Fopper needed to understand what he was to Hollywood before filming "Blood Diamond."It's a first-line star, that's no problem, the leading actor is fine.Because this movie will give him one of the chances to hit the Oscar.But if he waits until he shoots "Blood Diamond", there is no way to become an A-list.Then he should honestly play a more brilliant supporting actor.

"Okay." I don't know Fopper's small thoughts.So after hearing what Fopper said, Zwick didn't say anything more.After all, your own life is always only your responsibility.What others say will never be the most important, it can only serve as a reference.
