Chapter 596 Actor Selection (3 updates·Please vote for me)
"Are you sure that your supervision at least once a week is in place? I'm not just talking about my request to see a certain part during our video call, but all the details of the entire filming location."
"Of course, if I, Ashley, am not good at managing the company, it does not mean that I am not good at preparing the movie, OK? I think, Xia, your trust in me is not enough. I am very
Wronged!"
"Every time, I follow your instructions and list a bunch of inspection items for you. After the inspection is completed and passed, I will review it again next time. I think you can question my work, but don't rush to conclusions, etc.
You will be surprised when you arrive at the filming location!”
During this period, Ashley's Chinese has improved again, and she can speak this long paragraph with ease, except for quoting scriptures.
"I hope so."
Xia Yu smiled, hung up the phone, and prepared to board the plane.
Monday, January 11th.
In the beautiful city of Portland, Oregon, it is cloudy and rainy, with a maximum temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a minimum of minus 1 degree Celsius.
Xia Yu went to the "Fox Town" filming location at the end of November to supervise the construction, but even though he had an impression, he was informed a week ago that "Twilight Fox Town" had been completely completed.
Still a little excited.
It’s not that I’m excited, but I’m afraid that they’ll screw it up. When I finally landed in “Fox Town” and took a few turns, my anxious heart breathed a sigh of relief – almost 95% of it was a replica, and I set foot on this small town.
The town already has the shadow of the "Twilight" world.
There are still three or four days before the round-up reading, and Xia Yu has already moved into the Swan family's small villa in advance.
A month or two has passed since I went to Hollywood in October.
The storyboards for "Twilight 1 and 2" have been processed long ago, and the original manuscript "Twilight 4 (Part 1)" has also been transcribed. Xia Yu is currently transcribing "Twilight 4 (Part 2)" - in fact, according to
The original script, the entire Twilight movie series, could be made into six movies.
Because there is a lot of content in the fourth part, it is equivalent to two small parts and one large part, so please continue to develop it.
But when the script was written, there were only five parts. Xia Yu planned to shoot the fourth part in one go and divide it into two parts when editing.
It’s consistent with parallel time and space, otherwise we can’t just watch it for four hours, right?
Without thinking, his fingertips tapped on the keyboard. At about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, he finished transcribing this part of the content. Xia Yu opened the thick stack of information that he took from James - "Twilight·Series"
》List of cast members of the film.
On January 4th, with the efforts of James and Ashley, all members of the "Twilight Series" crew were selected.
Especially the casting of the cast, but the final decision on the cast still had to be made by Xia Yu.
For example, the selection of Jacob, the Cullen family, the arrangements of Raymond, Vivian, and Daniel - although Ashley and Ashley already have candidates, the real producer of the "Twilight" crew is still Xia
Yu.
James can finalize the members of the other groups. The list of actors, basically every actor, has a detailed evaluation, and James and Ashley also gave pertinent suggestions.
Xia Yu could read ten lines at a glance, but she was still worried that she had underestimated some of the evaluations, so she patiently read through the more than one hundred pieces of actor information one by one. Finally, she settled on the list of main actors.
The evaluations of Zhuang Ling, Ashley, and James contain opinions from several different angles of character - to the point, to explore the advantages, and to be quite conservative.
Xia Yu thinks there is no problem with most of the arrangements, such as Raymond playing the strong Emmett Cullen and Vivian playing the emotionally complex Rosalie Hale. But when it comes to Daniel, Xia Yu thinks
Could be more "nice."
Anyway, in terms of acting skills, if foreign movies are graded, then the acting skills of most of the actors who auditioned would be in the D-level, and Daniel would be in the E-level. As for how to evaluate the acting skills of these actors in Hollywood, that will have to be left later.
In her opinion, there is not much difference between D and E. Therefore, Xia Yu chose Ashley's opinion and evaluation for this part. Moved Daniel to the role of Jacob Black - she could only not
It's up to Ashley to train her.
As for being able to produce "The Secret of the Werewolf" and train several leading actors, Xia Yu feels that this is not difficult for Ashley.
From afternoon to nine o'clock in the evening, the final selection of actors was determined, and the list was sent to three people and then back.
Xia Yu called Zhuang Ling.
…
I mentioned before that there have been changes in the country over the past month or so, and in the beautiful country, specifically in Hollywood, there is also a turning trend.
The cooperation between Mindli Pictures and Bankrupt Sisters Pictures has caused the trend to change.
Victoria Pictures' "Black Moon Project 2" is about to start filming. It seems that it is planning to compete with "Twilight 1". It plans to have a collision, or in other words a sniper, when "Twilight 1" is released. The same decision has been made.
February shooting date.
The battle between the two major film and television empires is still undercurrent, but every small move makes some insiders who know the inside story feel excited and anxious. They are all waiting for that day to come, but they are also afraid of that day.
The day has come.
Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling, the founders of the bankrupt sisters, all know that this day will come eventually. But all this has not had a big impact on the bankrupt sisters of the third-rate film and television company for the time being. What should be running is still running.
.
Whether there is a collision or not, we have to wait until the movie is successfully scheduled.
During this month, the bankrupt sisters have been operating in a very "Buddhist" style - what kind of boss is there, what kind of company is there?
After all, the casting work for "Twilight 1" was all done at Mindli Film and Television. One was for convenience, and the other was to divert attention. Xia Yu didn't want Hollywood to focus all its attention on the bankrupt sisters so quickly. It would be too glaring.
What I want to focus on are the actors and artists signed by the Broke Sisters.
There is not much to say about Raymond and Vivian. It is enough to maintain stable study and performance. In the final analysis, they are still playing supporting roles.
What I want to say is that Daniel and Antonio Agnelli are not so stable factors in themselves - and I have to say that a good environment can really drive some "behavior and mentality motivation"?
Why arrange him to the company dormitory? The main reason is to let him get used to it——
Secondly, take a look at how real peers live and work hard.
Of course, Xia Yu also has to bear certain risks.
For example, not only did Antonio fail to change his temper, but he even led these two good boys, Daniel and Brian, to ruin. It’s not impossible, is it?
Obviously, Xia Yu's ideas and suggestions are correct and effective.
