Chapter 1004 Jaw-dropping (5 more updates, please vote for me)
Author: Qinggu
Time passed and the reading of "Beauty and Original Sin" was over.
The time was twenty-one days, nine days ahead of schedule, and it was much smoother than Carlos Zivkovic expected.
After Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling joined the team and completely took over the crew of "Beauty and Original Sin", he felt a little bit like he was being left out?
But what does it mean to be comfortable?
He doesn't have to do anything except directing. He only needs to be responsible for organizing the script, discussing with the director team, changing the text storyboards, and confirming the art storyboards - the rest of the reading matters are all carried out according to the plan given by Zhuang Ling.
In the past few months, the preparations for "Beauty and Original Sin" have been basically carried out by the bankrupt sister team. Various links are completed at a very efficient speed. In the past, it took more than half a year to prepare, or even a year.
Many, because of the intervention of the Bankrupt Sisters, the preparation for "Beauty and Original Sin" started in June and ended in October!
The day he was completely defeated, Carlos Zivkovic was shocked!
Especially in the casting of roles, in the past, it might take several months to find an important role, and even some small feelings could only be confirmed after several auditions.
For example, for the two main characters, one is Renaldo. Carlos Zivkovic has been looking for a year, but he hasn't found the right one - twelve, thirteen, or eleven years old. Mainly
He can act, has expressive eyes, has a youthful look, is European, and has a relatively outstanding appearance - how can he find this? News has been released for more than a year, almost two years, and there is no suitable recommendation!
But when it comes to the bankrupt sisters, from the time the news was released to the auditions of young actors, more than a hundred people showed up in half a month!
This is still an audition of actors after hardware screening under a lot of restrictions.
Carlos Zivkovic was stunned.
In the end, the audition was over. Eight people were fully qualified, but there was only one role, and they went through a second round of auditions——
The other actors are also similar. Basically, the main actors were completed within one and a half months, and even the extras were booked——
In the meantime, he also took the time to go to the Imperial Capital of China, secretly, not to participate, but simply to take a look at "Aversia Hatcher" filmed by Xia Yu. After watching it, he was stunned!
Turning around, he asked Yu Junhao, "Yu, are you sure...this is the finished product that took two months of shooting in the summer?"
"?" Yu Junhao was still wondering, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"..." Carlos Zivkovic quickly shook his head, "It's okay, it's okay!"
How could it be possible that such an excellent work could be produced in just two months? Xia Yu is still a new director? How did those actors train? Even the special actors with only a few lines fit the role perfectly...
…
The entire film can be said to be flawless!
Throughout the month of October, Carlos Zivkovic was pondering Xia Yu’s text storyboards for “Beauty and Original Sin”——
Of course, there were still more than one-third of the parts that didn't quite fit him, so he marked them all one by one!
In November, they officially joined the group to read together. The two of them got along peacefully at the beginning, and then bickered for twenty-one days. Carlos Zivkovic still pursued the literature and artistry of the film!
Xia Yu basically would not refute, but she firmly disagreed with some details that were unnecessary, too literary, or too performance art. For example, some plots that were too exposed, she firmly refused: "Carlos, are you sure?
What you make is called a literary film? A literary film? It's not a SQ film, right? Literature and literature and art don't have to have similar restrictive plots to be called literature, right? Doesn't it have to be like those statues that are full of literature and art?
Only when compared with paintings can it be called a literary film, and vice versa, right?"
This was an opinion that Xia Yu had been burying for a long time, but did not open it up before reading around. During the reading, all of it was shaken out.
Not only did Carlos Zivkovic have objections to her storyboarding, but she also had objections to the script with Carlos Zivkovic, and this fight could not end, it could only become a quarrel.
Whoever has the greatest truth is the boss!
On the contrary, it is the actors' reading, which is actually not a big deal to Xia Yu - the twenty-one days of noisyness is not all quarrels. The reading is ten hours a day, the arguing is five hours, and the remaining five hours are
The two played mixed doubles and tortured the actors.
The actors didn't dare to relax at all, what should they do, what can they do - this is Twilight Girl, this is Xia Yu, the number one box office winner in a series of global film festivals, a tens of billions box office actress who came to Hollywood from the East
!
Think about the actors in Bankrupt Sisters, each and every one of them is like a chicken or a dog. Who doesn’t want to perform well and be absorbed into the cast?
Even if not, there may be many more films to be shot in the future. If the cooperation is good this time, are there more opportunities for cooperation?
Who wouldn't want to catch it - roll it all up?
On November 22nd, "Succession" has reached its fifth episode. Brokegirls+ users have exceeded 300 million, with 90 million daily active users. Of course, most of them are on the short video platform of brokergirls+.
But this has a very strong supporting effect on the movies and TV series of brokegirls+!
There is also other news.
For example, Amanda has completely taken over the Broke Girls European Future Film and Television Branch and the entire Broke Girls script and review work for Broke Girls+ films - she is very satisfied with Xia Yu's complete delegation of power in this job!
But she may not be quiet for long, because Mindelli Pictures will not let her go so easily!
Cheng Yun and his wife did not rest. They officially signed the contract after the China International Film Festival and quickly accepted the new script "Bankrupt Sisters 1". They have been preparing for this film throughout November!
Ashley is also intensively preparing for "Westworld 4: The End". After Amanda left Mindley Pictures, James completely gave up his work on the bankrupt sisters. The contract was of course very pleasant, but
Mindelli Pictures was a hurdle he couldn't get over. Friends were still friends, but he was going back to the empire that belonged to him.
In this regard, of course Xia Yu should give money and say goodbye, but Ashley didn't feel particularly reluctant to part with him, and they still kept going back and forth!
Moreover, Ashley has already applied. After filming "Westworld 4", she plans to take a break. "The past six or seven years have been too tiring. There are five "Twilight" series and four "Hunger Games" series.
, "Succession", "Westworld" and another four, seventeen movies and TV series. I'm tired, really tired - I need to rest for at least three years!"
This is also the reason why Xia Yu pulls Song Ang at this point in time. The bankrupt sisters have no available director!
Finally, there was Yu Junhao, who also joined the group - heading to Shanxi Province. The study tour will take about half a month to a month, and the official start of filming should be in December. I took some photos of Xia Yu at the filming location.
