[US Entertainment] From web dramas to Oscars

Chapter 55

A wonderful Christmas has passed.So Fopper and Chris could only bid farewell to Chris' family temporarily, and returned to Hollywood where they worked hard.Of course, it wasn't just the two of them who came back this time, there was also an extra member—east.

But the atmosphere of Christmas is not over yet, and Chris has to shoot a new movie because of work needs.

"Actually, this movie is really thanks to you." He said to Fopper with a smile while packing his luggage, "If you hadn't asked me to study acting in England, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to shoot "London". Leading actor. My first film as a leading actor."

"And still filming with my old girlfriend." Fopper replied unhurriedly.

"...Can't we have a good talk? Aren't you happy that I got a movie contract?"

"Of course I'm happy. And I want to go too, Jessica Biel is my idol."

Why is Fopper like this?Because Fopper knows that with the degree of hypocrisy of the film crew, they will release the story that Chris and Jessica have to tell to attract people's attention.This is not possible, but certain.And before that, Fopper also received a call from Alexia, although she didn't remember the original words clearly because she had a lot of bbs.But Fopper still remembered the general idea.That is to say, now Chris needs a noisy scandal to cover the relationship between the two.In fact, as Fopper became more and more famous, some people began to know that Chris and Fopper were friends.As for this level of friendliness?No one knows yet.

"Okay." Chris laughed at Fopper's appearance: "Didn't I already reject Alexia's proposal for you? You don't need to make such an expression. My dear, to be honest, I am also very I want you to visit the class, but don't you still have work to do? Yuqing called back. Is there something on your side? "

"Well, you guessed it all." Shrugging, Fopper said helplessly.Of course, what he said just now was nothing more than Fopper's venting.After all, Fopper knows enough about how low Hollywood's lower limit is.Although Alexia was blocked by Chris.However, Fopper still feels that he needs to be mentally prepared for Chris’ compound news to spread throughout the world: “Disney can’t wait to prepare for the filming of "High School Musical" with us. The hot release of "The Incredibles" has made They feel that we have a very good cooperation.”

That's right, The Incredibles, which was released last month, is simply like Disney's usual animation movies, and it has caused a wave of money-absorbing frenzy. So far, the global box office has exceeded [-] million US dollars.If you count the countries where it has been released one after another, the global box office will exceed [-] million US dollars.

Of course, why didn't Fopper pay attention to this matter?Because in the end, on the sound source, Disney didn't use Fopper's voice, why?Is it because the emotional color is wrong, or because the pause of the speech speed cannot match the mouth shape of the animation.It was because Fopper's voice didn't quite fit with the others.

Of course, Fopper also watched two versions of the movie at the end, and he also understood that the version he dubbed did have such problems.So there is no haggling.Of course, Fopper's dubbed version was not wasted. When releasing the DVD, Disney also released Fopper's version.To the surprise of lovers, the young people all expressed their desire to see what kind of voice Fopper in "Exploding Family" would be dubbed in, so they bought them one after another. Better than the original.And this situation also made Disney feel that Fopper's mood should not be too depressed.So, I came here to ask for cooperation.

Because of the reason in the proposal, the first part of "High School Musical" will definitely be broadcast on TV stations as a TV movie.Of course, showu will also be broadcast simultaneously, and the TV broadcast time in the United States is usually in April, and the big movie schedule has passed by this time.And the Oscars and the Super Bowl that should have been played have also finished.So it will not affect the ratings of the TV series.

And if "High School Musical" wants to be broadcast in the hot TV schedule, then it must be completed in April or May.So it is too late now that it is almost entering January.

"Then go ahead." Of course Chris knew that Fopper would definitely cooperate with Disney.After all, Chris read the script for High School Musical, too.According to his opinion, "High School Musical" is indeed a movie that will be popular without accident.

"Although his film structure is very simple." Chris, who will transform into a part-time director in the future, of course also has a very good level of film appreciation.

And as Chris said, the story structure of "High School Musical" is actually very simple, even in the modified Fopper version.The protagonist Troy is a Chinese teenager living in the East. Although he is Chinese, but because he is the captain of the Wildcats, the basketball team of East High School, he is not excluded by the school but is very popular.And why is his basketball skill so good?Because he has been taught by his father since he was a child, and his father is the coach of the Wildcats. He used to win the league championship for the Wildcats when he was young.

The heroine Gabriela is a science genius who has won numerous awards in academic competitions.Such two characters who basically don't overlap were pushed onto a small stage at a holiday party during the New Year's holiday, and then they sang a song together. As a result, the two people cooperated perfectly, and they also found that In addition to their other side, they all love singing and dancing very much.

After the party, the two went back to their own circles and continued to live their original lives, but until one day, Gabriela suddenly transferred to East High School, Troy, who had been attracted by this girl, was naturally very happy.At this time, a musical in the school began to select roles, and Troy and Gabriela, who knew they liked singing and dancing, decided to audition.The auditions go so well that they make it through the first round; but with the basketball finals and academic competition looming, Troy and Gabriela's family and friends are preventing them from taking part in the musical...  

Of course, the final result will not be that they go back to their respective homes, find their mothers, and return to the original life track. As a comedy youth movie, a perfect finale is a must.Even if there are loopholes, you must force it to be complete. This is not brain damage, but the ending that this type of movie must have.

"I know it's really simple. But at least I didn't make the movie have enough obvious holes, did I? And... I bet even if you think this movie is going to be a hit, you can't imagine it How hot it will be. I have this confidence."

"Haha, is it?" Seeing Fopper's confident look, Chris couldn't help laughing: "Okay, but first you have to finish your TV movie that is hot enough. Since you are cooperating with Disney and watching It seems that Disney will let you be the "producer" of the movie, so do you have a choice for the heroine?"

"Are you joking again? I have already decided to cooperate, and I will not prepare all the work. In fact, Scarlett has already agreed and replied to me."

"Scarlett? You mean Scarlett Johansson?" Chris couldn't help but say something.

"That's right." Nodding, Fopper smiled and said, "The candidates for the TV movie here are not bad. One is the winner of the Venice Film Festival. The other is the leading actress who has been nominated for the Golden Globe Award twice."

That's right, at this time, Scarlett's acting skills are already very good.Good enough that she's already been nominated for Best Actress twice at the Golden Globes. In 2002, she starred in Sofia Coppola's film "Lost in Translation", and this year, in 2004, she starred in "Girl with a Pearl Earring". These two films made her nominated for the Golden Globe Award at the same time. Best Actress in a Drama or Comedy.Scarlett is an acting genius, there's no doubting it.Moreover, her glamorous appearance is also one of the reasons Fopper chose her.Of course, another important reason may be that she is the same as Fopper now, or even not as good as Fopper.Although there are performance awards and honors.Even a nomination is enough to prove her acting skills.But in terms of fame, it is still only second-tier or less than second-tier. Fame and strength are not directly proportional.In short, affordable.The actor's salary is not high, and she is not afraid of her poor performance.

"That's pretty good." Because of "Super Perfect Score", Chris and Scarlett are also familiar with each other.

"Yeah, so Yuqing's purpose of calling is to say that the cooperation with Disney has been completed. After you leave, I think I will go to the crew of "High School Musical" soon."

"In that case, what about East?" Chris regretted bringing East back at this time.

"You take it with you." Fopper said, "I think Jessica should also want East. The two protagonists in the movie agree, and I think the crew will not disagree."

"Good idea!" Chris gave a thumbs up.
