I’m in Hollywood Chapter 1012: Temporary digression
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Frank.Marshall repeatedly persuaded a few words. The cautious character Spielberg refused to let go of the "The Matrix3" date in early November. He had to give up, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Thinking of the last time I discussed with Microsoft the second capital injection to Humble Aberlin Film Industry but was rejected by the other party on the grounds that the company ’s cash flow was tight, Frank.Marshall once again had the idea of leaving.
How can Microsoft with a market value of more than 200 billion USD be short of money? Obviously, the other party found that the development of Amberlin Film Industry was far lower than their expectations, and no longer expected this company.
In the past history, DreamWorks can also be said to have been a tossing for several years, and was once regarded as a threat by the traditional Hollywood traditional Film Studio.
But just a few years later, the three partners, David Geffen, Steven.Spielberg and Katzenberg, although the name of DreamWorks still hangs on the surface, in fact it has already parted ways. Initially, the chasing of the capital trying to acquire shares was unavoidable.
Although the composition of the Film Industry has changed in all aspects, it is obviously still on the old road.
When the dispute over the release date of "The Matrix3" on the Film Industry side of Anberlin, Playa Vista Firefly Studios, Eric and Cameron are also in dispute.
Today was originally the day of the audition for "Spider-Man" Heroine. Firefly has been following up on this project. Therefore, Cameron said that it was planning to start shooting, and a lot of work was progressing very quickly.
The audition was originally started at nine o'clock, but it was already half past nine at this time. 30 had multiple alternative girls waiting in the corridor outside the audition, but the two big guys in the audition room were temporarily off topic ", Leaving everyone aside.
It turns out that in these days, Cameron suddenly has the idea of using the 3D camera shoots "Spider-Man" directly.
Cameron has always been very enthusiastic about the RealD plan of Firefly, so I have put forward a lot of suggestions in the process of promoting this plan.
According to the production progress, "Spider-Man" will naturally also be released in 3D and IMAX formats.
While continuously improving and perfecting the 3D conversion technology, the digital field is also developing corresponding dual-camera 3D cameras, but the progress in this area is far less than that of the RealD projection system.
Therefore, hearing the thoughts of Cameron, Eric is naturally terrible.
"Spider-Man" has been delayed for a whole year. If you still have to wait for the development of the 3D camera to be completed, it will be the year of the monkey. The relationship between the two is very good in private, but when it comes to movies, they are both Disagreement will inevitably cause disputes.
"Jim, although the current 3D conversion technology in the digital field is definitely not perfect, but there is nothing perfect in the world. Moreover, the entire set of technical specifications from production to projection in the digital field, even after ten years Will not fall behind, this is definitely the most suitable industry model for 3D movies. "
“Eric, I do not deny that the dual-camera polarized 3D in the digital field is countless times stronger than the traditional red and blue 3D, but it is not really 3D after all, only the 3D picture using the 3D camera shoots is more perfect, is it Do n’t you want to be more perfect? ”
If you did n’t know much about 3D movies before, Eric might agree with Cameron, but now, his knowledge of 3D movies is no less than the other party: "Jim, in my opinion, there is nothing at all True 3D and fake 3D, you have seen the prototype of the 3D camera. You should know that the lens that comes out of the 3D camera shoots also needs to be reprocessed. What ’s more, those pure special effects CG lenses cannot use the 3D camera shoots. 3D movies The fundamental is 3D visual reconstruction, whether it is 2D conversion or directly using 3D camera material, as long as it can show the audience a shocking stereoscopic visual effect, then it is a good 3D. Using a 3D camera is more like shortening the production process, 2D The conversion is equivalent to making wheat bread step by step, and the 3D camera shoots is equivalent to making flour directly. "
Cameron gestured in his hand and raised his voice to refute; "Not at all. There is a big gap between the two methods. In the clip of" Jurassic Park "that you converted, the proportions of the different characters in some pictures are completely disordered. If you use a 3D camera to shoot, there will be no such problems. "
Due to the need to split the original picture in two and recreate the stereoscopic depth of field, the defects described by Cameron do exist in the 2D conversion, and some scenes in the converted lens will be out of proportion.
"This kind of problem is not obvious at all, and it can be completely eliminated through technical improvement. The technical public relations team has been set up specifically in the conversion studio. Moreover, you have not used the 3D camera shoots movie, how can you It is determined that it will not have the same problem, not to mention, at the current technical level of 3D cameras, it is more likely to use this method to force shoots in a short time. If the 2D conversion is 80 points, 3Dshoots technology in the short term It can only be counted as 60 points at most. It takes at least two or three years to get fully mature 3D photography technology. Are you planning to wait another three years? "
Cameron understands that what Eric said is basically the truth. In the face of a guy who is more knowledgeable than him, it is impossible to flirt with each other.
So the momentum finally became weaker, and he knew that "Spider-Man" could not be delayed for another three years.
Eric initially allowed him to splurge on 200 million and more shoots "Titanic". Although the film eventually created the Box Office miracle, he always remembered this relationship.
Although pursuing perfection, Cameron is not impersonal. On the contrary, he is a very loyal person.
It ’s just that Cameron did n’t want to admit defeat for a while, and he said arrogantly, "I can afford it."
Eric saw the appearance of Cameron, with a smile in his heart, said: "Well, we will talk about this matter in the future, so many people are still waiting, audition first."
So, no longer waiting for Cameron to answer, Eric said to Director: "Let ’s get started."
Everyone in the room was relieved. Although listening to the dispute between the two bigwigs is still very insightful, even if it is the Jon Landau sitting next to it, there is some worry in the heart that the two will really fall over.
The cast member Director heard Eric without hesitation, and went out directly in person. After a while, the first audition girl came in, but it was Kirsten Dunst.
Kirsten Dunst is a Hollywood child star, regardless of age, appearance or performance experience, all meet the audition standards for this time. In fact, the girls who can enter this round of audition are basically the same. Opportunities at this level are rarely open to newcomers.
Although I waited for more than half an hour inexplicably, there was nothing strange in the expression of Kirsten Dunst, and I introduced myself appropriately: "Mr. Williams, Mr. Cameron, Mr. Randall, and everyone, good morning, my name is Kirsten Dunst ... "
In Hollywood, everyone is not strange, simply introduce themselves, and the audition officially begins.
Compared with the Lolita in "Interview with the Vampire" at that time, the slim figure of Kirsten Dunst at this time is just a face, which is not very consistent with the aesthetic of Eric.
The former Mary Jane is still the first impression of Kirsten Dunst in Eric.
However, none of this will have much effect on today's audition.
Whether Kirsten Dunst is also suitable for the role of Gwen Stacy depends on factors such as her audition today and the fit with the actor Stewart. Runkel.
Although it is a Superhero movie that does not pay much attention to emotional drama, male & female leads can bring unexpected popularity bonus if it has a good CP sense.
Patiently watched a few Kirsten Dunst performances, several people asked some questions, and the audition ended quickly.
Today, I have to pass multiple 30 girls, and naturally there is not much time left for each girl.
When Kirsten Dunst leaves the room, Cameron seems to have completely forgotten the dispute with Eric, and commented professionally: "The appearance is good and the acting is enough, but I think her temperament is not with Gwen Stacy Too much, but more suitable for another girlfriend of Peter. Parker. "
Eric smiled and said "Mary Jane?"
Cameron nodded and said, "If she wants, this character can be given directly to her."
In the newly set script, although Gwen Stacey is the absolute first Heroine, Mary Jane, who is a neighbor of Peter. Parker, also made some appearances.
According to the long-term plot setting, Mary Jane ’s drama may increase after Gwen Stacy ’s death, but this is not absolute. After all, the future plot must also conform to the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe arrangement.
However, at this time, Cameron said that Kirsten Dunst is suitable for Mary Jane. Naturally, it will not be the same reason as Eric, but in the comics setting, Mary Jane is a relatively ordinary girl, and Gwen Stacey But it belongs to the school flower level. In this way, Kirsten Dunst is not pretty enough.
After discussing a few sentences, Eric will naturally not object to the proposal of Cameron. Mary Jane is not a role that needs to be discussed repeatedly. This matter is so settled.
As for whether Kirsten Dunst will agree to star in this supporting role, there is nothing to worry about.
Although Kirsten Dunst is a little famous, she is strictly calculated. Now her Hollywood coffee table can only barely be ranked in the second line. If she participates in "Spider-Man" Heroine, the other party can only get a 300,000 USD basic pay.
What's more, after "Titanic", there will be few Hollywood stars in the Cameron film, even if it is a small supporting role.
This matter was finalized, and the audition continued, so it was almost noon. When the last audition girl came in before lunch, Eric's eyes couldn't help.
The girl in front of me is not too tall, but the figure is very good, wearing a pink jacket and blue jeans, a beautiful blonde, the most important thing is the sweet face with a little baby face temperament.
Okay, Eric is really not immune to baby faces.
The girl stood in front of the camera and introduced herself generously: "Hello everyone, I am Kelly Russell. I used to have several years of performance experience at The Mickey Mouse Club, and I have also participated in" "Dr. Oolong" and other videos, I have loved reading comics since I was a child, and I hope to try some of the characters Gwen Stacy. "
In the profile in hand, Kelly Russell can be said to be a pure Disney child star. "Dr. Oolong" is also a Disney comedy two years ago, but she is several years older than Britney and others. .
In the beginning, Eric invited several children from The Mickey Mouse Club to visit Cliff Peak Manor, and there was no Kelly Russell. Think carefully, that day the rehearsal was a children ’s drama. Kelly Russell may be older and did not participate .
Looking at the girl in front of him, Eric remembered that the other party seemed to have starred in "Mission: Impossible3", but the character was unlucky and was killed by a micro bomb implanted in the brain.
Kelly Russell finished self-introduction, the room was quiet for two seconds, Jon Landau turned his head to look at it, Cameron happened to write something quickly on a notebook, Eric looked down and looked at the folder in front of it, too. If he looks thoughtful, he will first say: "So, Miss Russell, first talk about your understanding of the role of Gwen Stacy."
Kelly Russell is also a little stunned. She was originally full of confidence, but the two most important big men in this room are obviously on a small gap, which makes her inevitably nervous and flustered.
Kelly Russell does n’t know much about Cameron, but she still has some contact with some partners in The Mickey Mouse Club. She even knows the close relationship between Christina and Eric Williams.
Originally mentioned my experience in The Mickey Mouse Club, just to pull in the relationship with Eric Williams, but now it seems that it has not had any effect.
"I do n’t know about the movie script, but as far as comics are concerned, Gwen Stacy is a very smart and confident girl, but at the same time, like many comic characters, she also has some of her own Disadvantages ... "
Because of the preparation in advance, although the emotion was disturbed, Kelly Russell answered the Jon Landau questions smoothly, but the mood was no longer relaxed, and the tone of the speech was inevitably somewhat dry.
Cameron was influenced by the last audition girl, and suddenly thought of some script modification inspirations, worried about forgetting, and just wrote it down in a notebook in a hurry.
Put down the pen and turn your attention to the girl in front of you, listening to the other party's apparently emotionally unstable performance, and you will be disappointed.
Eric also quickly recovered and looked at Kelly Russell with Cameron. He also noticed each other ’s problems, but Eric did not take responsibility for himself and Cameron.
Being stunned should be regarded as the basic quality of any interviewer. If you ca n’t do it, you ca n’t blame anyone for anything.
For Kelly Russell, Eric has only a short interest. Naturally, it will not make any plans to open the door because the other party has a flattering baby face.
While Kelly Russell had finished her understanding of Gwen Stacey's role, Eric signaled her assistant to randomly extract a page of text and hand it to the other party, saying, "Kelly, then, let's try a performance first Right. "
