As one of the few outstanding movies in Brazil, Eric has seen "City of God". The biggest impact this film has on him is the feeling of powerlessness that he has no choice but to struggle to survive in a violent environment.
I took the book handed over from Braulio Mantovani, but Eric did not open it, and now he does n’t have much free time to read such a five or six hundred pages thick novel, but asked directly More details about the film production.
The City of God is a novel by Brazilian writer Paul Lins that took ten years to complete and reflects the social life of the bottom slums of Brazil.
Two years ago, this novel had a strong response as soon as it was published, and it was quickly translated into various other languages.
Later, Studio-chnalProduction Studio, a subsidiary of the French Vivendi group, bought the novel's film and television copyright and began writing script. After several twists and turns of this project, it fell into the hands of Kathryn, so there was today's meeting with "City of God" screenwriter.
After talking for more than ten minutes, Braulio Mantovani found that Eric's ideas for this film even gradually surpassed himself, which made him start admiring the young Hollywood tycoon in front of him. . However, although he would like to continue to set a little more with Eric, he still took the initiative to stand up and say goodbye to the things he had just said.
Eric waited for Braulio Mantovani to leave, and then looked at the woman who still held the coffee cup in her hand and asked, "How is it going?"
Wake up from the absent-minded state, feeling that she should n’t be too passive in front of this little man. She quickly put down the cup easily and pretended, saying: "Good, how about you?"
Eric looked sideways at the woman in front of her and smiled and said, "It's not bad."
I really want to make fun of him as if he was ubiquitous in the media during this time, but he did not want him to know that he was concerned about these things, so he mentioned the movie just now: "What do you think of" The City of God "?"
"Your ideas about the use of realistic documentary techniques shoots are correct. However, if you want to go further, it is best to use the informal Actor, for example, to directly select some children from the Rio slums for simple training, such a video The final effect will be more realistic. Another point is that it is also necessary to use Portuguese shoots. "Eric said this, but instead said:" So, this film is not for you, you do n’t seem to be Portuguese Language, right? "
Kathryn originally agreed with Eric, but at the end of hearing it, I was a little dissatisfied immediately: "I actually know a little, and there are translations."
"It was also difficult to communicate smoothly with Actor," Eric still shook his head, watching the woman staring at herself, and suddenly shrugged, said: "Well, I know you can definitely do this. Actually it is me I do n’t want you to go to Brazil to make this movie. Rio slums are too dangerous. "
Kathryn did n’t expect Eric to say that suddenly, and immediately he dared not look at the little man in front of him, and subconsciously picked up the coffee cup in front of him, but found that it was already empty, so he stood up and avoided his eyes Tao: "Me, I should go back."
"Well, I should go back too," Eric stood up casually, seeing the appearance of Kathryn immediately fixed, laughing: "Well, I promise not to bully you, really like a shy little girl , People have no sense of accomplishment. Nà, I have n’t seen it in such a long time, can I just walk around together? "
After hearing him speak so frankly and abhorrently, he glanced at him fiercely, but he did not refuse. After turning around, he couldn't help but pause.
Walking side by side to the deck together, Kathryn took the initiative to say this time: "How are you, Marvel Cinematic Universe's Actor audition?"
"I have been busy with this matter recently," Eric felt the woman's lingering tone, saying: "Is there anyone to recommend to me?"
"Sean called me last week," Kathryn said, and then actively explained: "Sean · Pan, we worked together in" Red Alert "last time."
Eric immediately noticed the name of a person he had just met in the afternoon: "Jim · Cawezer."
Jim Cavitzer also participated in "Red Alert". Although he is insignificant in a big name, his coffee is very insignificant in the original film.
Kathryn was a little surprised, but still nodded and said, "Sean asked me if I could say a few words for Jim, but I refused. However, since I met you ... In fact, Jim is a good Actor, human I'm also very sincere, but I haven't always got a very good opportunity. "
Eric probably knew the character of Jim · Kavizer during the daytime audition, and said at this time: "I did not expect that he and Sean · Pan turned out to be good friends."
Kathryn with some smiles, said: "Jim is actually a good friend with Kevin · Costner. He knows a lot of people, but he rarely takes the initiative to let everyone help. This may also be the reason why everyone is willing to make friends with him. There are very few people who do n’t have any thoughts about Hollywood and interact with people. Sean called me, and I do n’t know Jim. ”
Hollywood is no lack of superstar mixed with chickens for various reasons, but there are also a lot of big friends like Sean · Pan. Although they are hot-tempered in front of paparazzi, in the circle, Sean · PAN is absolutely Is a very loyal representative.
Thinking about it this way, Eric said: "The Hulk of Cavieze ’s audition was just decided in the afternoon, not to hide from you. He is one of the last two candidates, but I think the other person is more suitable. "
Kathryn just yelled, the two were talking, and soon came to the parking lot outside the north gate of the studio.
Find your car, Kathryn opened the white BMW door, see Eric still standing beside her, said: "You?"
"Should you still live in Cold Water Canyon?" Eric is harmless to humans and animals, saying: "I happen to go to Trousdale Manor, can I get a car?"
Kathryn moves stiffly, with a trembling tone in his voice, and his eyes grumble: "You just said, something."
"Okay," Eric could n’t stand the woman ’s eyes and raised her hand, saying, “Just kidding. In addition, regarding“ City of God ”, I really do n’t recommend that you do it yourself, you can Hang the producer, find the local Director from Brazil, it is actually the same. "
"Well, I will consider it."
Kathryn responded, and sat in the driver's seat, confirming that the little man outside did not mean to force in. Somewhat lost in his heart, he said goodbye and slowly started the car.
Although I like to tease Kathryn on words and look at her at a loss, if the woman really shows resistance, Eric will never be forced. He also understands why Kathryn is in this state. The age gap between the two is really too large.
After meeting that night, Eric continued to pay attention to the "City of God" in the following days.
Since Vivendi also holds shares in Metro Goldwyn Mayer, this film will have Metro Goldwyn Mayer and Studio-Chnal two companies.
However, Kathryn did not intend to give up this project afterwards. Eric understood some of the woman ’s stubbornness and did not persuade him. I want to come to the slum shoots in Rio, and the safety of Kathryn must be very guaranteed. After all, the Brazilian government will definitely not allow a Oscar best Director to have any accidents in its own country's shoots movie.
At the same time, the casting of Marvel Cinematic Universe is still steadily advancing.
After the actor of "Hulk" was determined to be Christy Ann Bell, the media almost inevitably produced some controversy.
However, this kind of thing is almost inevitable for Superhero casting. Many Superhero actors are almost always questioned when they just get the role. Then, after the film is released, as long as the quality of the film is good, the performance of Actor also meets the standard, and fans and comics fans will often start to change their positions very unruly.
Also, although very careful in the casting process, even if the character is really not successful, as long as the continuity can be maintained, the audience can often accept it.
After the role of Hulk is determined, some other roles will soon be finalized.
Since Chris Evans has just turned eighteen, the role of Captain America will definitely not fall on him this time.
After many layers of screening, this character was finally finalized as Josh Duhamel, who was once Captain Reynolds in "Transformers".
Josh Duhamel is 26 years old this year and meets the requirements in terms of age. Moreover, the image of the United States soldier that Josh Duhaming once played in the "Transformers" series is also very popular. Captain America, in the final analysis, is also a United States soldier. The selection of this role is a little bit of the kind of strong eyebrows and righteous standards when choosing the main actor film from the other side of the ocean.
After Iron Man and Spider-Man, the three main roles of Captain America, Thor, and Hulk were all finalized, and the framework of the first stage of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe was basically established.
Of course, there is a more critical role, Black Widow Natasha · Romanov, Eric has never been able to find a very suitable player.
However, after the audition over the past few months, the final candidate also fell on two people.
Perhaps Hollywood is only a small circle after all. The last two candidates, Eric, are also very familiar, Angelina · Jolie and Mila · Jovovich.
As from a purely intellectual point of view, these two women are undoubtedly very suitable for the role of Black Widow.
It's just that the two women also have their own problems.
The problem of Jolie is undoubtedly the most serious. The actress has been immersed in drug addiction in recent years, and there is no sign of going ashore.
If it is not a family Hollywood 'S connections, Jolie It's impossible to get a role in these years. Even, the reason for being able to reach the final round of the audition, except Jolie It is indeed very suitable for this role. Jolie Father Jon Voyt ’s mediation results, now Jolie He has not broken with his father.
Moreover, even if Jolie can successfully quit drug addiction, her personal character is also a hidden danger.
In the final analysis, what Eric needs is more obedient Actor.
As for Mira Jovovich, Eric was not too cold for this actress long ago. During the audition of "Dark Angel Black Angel", because of the bad mood that day, Eric also casually sent away Mila Jovovich who participated in the audition.
"This is a long-term series that needs to last at least five years and involves nine major movies. We must ensure that the characters are foolproof," Firefly Studio audition room, looking at the thick lip girl sitting on the chair opposite, Eric Straight and asked: "So, how do you guarantee that you will never touch those things again in the process?"
Hearing the problem of Eric, Jolie is obviously anxious, but patiently respectfully said: "Mr. Williams, this question, my manager has passed the ditch with Firefly. During the movie shoots, you can send someone at any time Test me for drugs. "
"Of course we can, but everyone knows that the root cause is still up to you. If you insist on touching those things, we will not be able to see you at any time. And, once things happen, Firefly Group ’s entire movie plan You will be hurt. At that time, even if we take you to bankruptcy, it won't help. Even, we may have to take the initiative to hide it for you, Jolie, have you ever thought about this? "
Angelina · Jolie ’s eyes flickered and did not directly answer the question of Eric. It seemed that he might not be able to get this role, and he said with a bit of self-abuse: "So, Mr. Williams, I was eliminated. Right? "
"If you think so," Eric pointed to the door of the room and said, "You can go out now."
Angelina · Jolie subconsciously wanted to get up, but hesitated for a moment and still sat down on the chair honestly.
Eric nodded in satisfaction and continued: "Then another question, Firefly Group's contract in this role is also very demanding. Once you take on this role, before completing the contract, in addition to playing Black Widow, you only Can participate in another film, and the production cost cannot exceed 50 million USD, are you willing to accept it? "
The Hollywood series of big movies started to rise after 2000. In fact, the rules Eric said are actually more general restrictions on the role of the TV circle. They have rarely been used in movies before.
Therefore, Jolie is obviously hesitant, but after a while, he nodded: "Yes."
"So, come here today," Eric said: "You can go back and wait for the news."
After listening to Eric, Jolie stood up and said goodbye to everyone politely before turning around and leaving.
Eric said to Jose Weden beside him: "So, what do you think?"
This is the third audition of the last few candidates this week. Before Jolie, Mila Jovovich had just left.
Joss Whedon does n’t quite understand why Eric is so expensive in the role of Black Widow. However, considering the series of classic female characters created by Eric from the beginning of his debut, Joss Whedon did not question the harshness of Eric too much, but said publicly: "If all other factors are excluded, these two people They are all very suitable. However, if I choose, I will choose Mira. She is more insured. Eric, you seem to prefer Jolie, right? "
Eric nodded and said, "If she is not drug addicted and her character is more obedient, this character may have fallen on her."
"This is Hollywood," Joss Whedon smiled and said, "How can there be so many good-looking babies at Hollywood, Eric, your request is not realistic from the beginning."
