[American Entertainment] Bright life

Not only "Captain America", but also the script of the fourth "Pirates of the Caribbean" handed over by Disney is not among Sterling's key considerations.

When "Pirates of the Caribbean" was formed, Hollywood was not optimistic about this unique pirate film at the time, but "Pirates of the Caribbean" was an unexpected success. The total box office of the first three films was nearly 30 billion US dollars. , and also allowed Johnny Depp, who played Captain Jack, to stabilize his super-first-line status in one fell swoop.Not only that, the success of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has also made other supporting actors popular, especially Keira Knightley, who plays the heroine Isabella, who plays a relatively important role. This English rose is a Evening red all over the world.

It makes no sense for Disney not to continue to "squeeze" the value of "Pirates of the Caribbean", so the fourth "Pirates of the Caribbean" was born.And because the word-of-mouth of the third part has declined—in fact, the word-of-mouth of the second part is not as good as the first one, a common problem in the series—the box office appeal of the "Iron Triangle" of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has weakened In addition, Orlando Bloom, the actor who played Will Turner, is indulging in tenderness and has no intention of taking over the fourth film. As for Keira Knightley, the situation here is more complicated. It is undeniable that What's more, she once announced at the Venice Film Festival that she would not make a fourth film before Disney made a formal statement, which also had a negative effect. Under various considerations, Disney abandoned the "Iron Triangle" The model simply retains Captain Jack, the core character of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and then hopes to stimulate the box office by adding new elements and new characters.

Therefore, in this fourth part, there will be no Isabella and Will Turner, replaced by the new heroine Angelica, and the new villain Blackbeard.Disney wanted Grace to play Angelica.Sterling's perception of this character is actually the same as that of Agent Carter in "Captain America", which is more of a vase-like role, and Sterling thinks that Angelica's character is not as lovable as Agent Carter. And not as good as Isabella's.

Objectively speaking, Sterling does not want others to think that Grace is Keira Knightley's "taker"-even though Angelica is no longer British in the script, Grace herself is British Ah, when Anjelica's character design is not as lovable as Isabella's, vertical comparison is completely unnecessary and will not bring much gain.

But the "Bear and the Bow", strictly speaking, it is not produced by Disney, but the work of its Pixar, and its director is Pixar's first female animation director, and "Bear and the Bow" is the first production of Pixar. A non-modern film, it was also the first fairy tale film, and the first animated film to feature a woman as the main character.Although these are eye-catching gimmicks, in fact Pixar is the real golden sign.Thinking of this, Sterling said to Grace: "Grace, I want to know if you are interested in trying to dub animated movies? You haven't tried it before."

"I tried a part, Enchanted, but I didn't try the Scottish accent."

The corner of Sterling's mouth twitched, what does it mean to try part of it?But he quickly realized that a small part of "Enchanted" took the form of animation, and Grace also went to the recording studio to dub the sound at that time.With the Scottish accent spoken by Grace, Sterling recalled: "The story of "The Bear and the Bow" happened in Scotland?"

He paused for a moment, then stared back blankly: "Stop your 'relieved' eyes, okay, Dr. Green? I really don't need it at all!"

Grace shrugged.

Sterling continued to be expressionless: "So you intend to dub "The Bear and the Bow", right?" Sterling felt that what Grace said just now meant that he was interested, which not only made Sterling active Speaking of it, Grace is the type who "likes the new and dislikes the old". She usually doesn't reject new things.In this way, he can work hard in this area in the future.

Sterling put an asterisk on "The Bear and the Bow", saw "Sherlock Holmes" on his notepad, and suddenly remembered something that bothered him: "What happened between you and Robert Downey Jr. What happened?"

Grace tilted her head: "Under such a broad premise, are you referring to the fact that he said on Facebook that he was my 'victim'? Or the ins and outs of the previous incident? Or is he here Called me before and asked my opinion on the sequel of "Sherlock Holmes", and I was very talented as a screenwriter and proposed to combine the two characters of Irene Adler and Moriarty into one Constructive proposals?"

Sterling: "..." Don't act cute maliciously, okay?

No, no, Sterling felt that he shouldn't be complaining like this, what he should do most is to hug his head and groan in pain!For God's sake, what the hell was Robert Downey Jr. thinking when he made such an unreliable proposal, he opened his mouth and said it, and now he has to clean up the mess, and Sterling didn't miss Grace. When he said the last sentence, the eyes lit up, and based on what he knew about Grace, this guy was definitely very interested!

Sterling really knows Grace very well, but he misunderstood the "instigator" Downey. Downey is too regretful now, the real version of "disaster comes from mouth".

Sterling decided not to take up the conversation, and he didn't want to know the story of being cheated and cheated between Robert Downey Jr. and Grace. Anyway, Robert Downey Jr. would tell it on the show, and Sterling Lin was pretty sure Grace wouldn't be the one to suffer and be stupid.

Therefore, Sterling directly skipped the topic he raised himself, and said with a smirk: "You get ready, we will meet with Alexandra Schulman in an hour." Alexandra La Shulman is the editor-in-chief of "VOGUE" British edition. This time, Grace is in charge of shooting fashion blockbusters and covers for "VOGUE" British edition.

Grace narrowed her eyes unhappily, and Sterling felt that he seemed to have pulled back.

— This is really something to be proud of, given how rare it is.

……

Grace’s pre-arranged itinerary went very smoothly. Sterling flew here to follow the cover shoot of "VOGUE" magazine, and there were no twists and turns as he imagined. Grace seemed to know how to show her charm naturally, whether it was in In front of the camera, or in front of strangers, as long as she wants.

In addition, Sterling is deeply aware of Grace's high popularity in the UK again, and do her fans exist everywhere?It really doesn't mean that Alexandra Shulman is Grace's fangirl, like Empire's editor-in-chief Kevin Davis is Grace's fangirl, really.As the editor-in-chief of a well-known fashion magazine, you should have some restraint in the fashion industry, right?

Not at all, Sterling could see that familiar little flame of enthusiasm in Alexandra Schulman's eyes.

On the bright side, Sterling is not worried. Grace can handle the photo shoot. She has previously taken a group of promotional photos for Aston Martin.

However, this did not give Sterling much comfort, and didn't he think that Grace was the little prince of the West End before?This time he saw it himself.Grace did not go to an impromptu stage play or play, but Sterling met many big names in the theater world, accompanied by a verbal movie invitation.

Sterling, as the agent of WMA, was fortunate to achieve the achievement of "triggering new movie invitations anytime, anywhere", and his mood is complicated.Let me first talk about this passively triggered new movie invitation, which was handed over by Cameron Mackintosh, the gold medal producer of the musical, the musical "Les Miserables".

The musical "Les Misérables", adapted from Hugo's novel, has achieved great success in both French and English versions. In this case, it is a matter of "going with the flow" to adapt it into a movie.Among the films that Grace has made are "Mamma Mia", which was also adapted from a stage play, and "Suspicion of Child Abuse", which was adapted from a drama. Among them, "Mamma Mia" has become the best-selling musical.

The adaptation of "Les Miserables" into a musical has been planned for a long time, but due to various reasons, it is only now that the preparatory stage has started to get on the right track.In terms of actors, McIntosh's first thought was Grace, and he also let Grace choose her favorite role.

When Sterling heard what Mackintosh said, he didn't know how to react. After all, he felt that the hospitality was hard to turn down. When he turned around and told Grace... To be honest, this is Sterling's first time. The first time I saw Grace frizz, she frowned like a cat frizzing, her whole back was arched, and she bared her teeth and claws like she was catching anyone.

This is definitely a description of a real cat, not Grace.

"I don't shoot! Absolutely!"

Judging from Grace's tone, one could tell how much she resisted the invitation.Sterling didn't quite know the reason for this - he didn't know how allergic Grace was to the musical "Les Miserables" - but inexplicably he had a rebellious psychology, just like "Les Miserables" In ", the uprising youth army broke out. Wherever there is oppression, there is a rebellious mentality of resistance. He really wants to see Grace take over this movie.

——Well, think about it. It's not a sin to think about it.
