Chapter 158 Self-breakthrough
After the 78th Oscars officially ended, the winners and losers were clear at a glance.Unlike the Golden Globe Awards, which are calm, stable, and without waves, after the Oscars elevated the status of black actors last year, this year it is to inspire the fighting spirit and self-confidence of young actors!
Vincent’s 23rd birthday gift is an Oscar statuette. Although this record is difficult to break in a short time, but if you think about it carefully, let’s not talk about breaking the record, even if it’s a little closer to the new record It is also possible!
Now the academy has officially stated its attitude and began to accept the raids of post-[-]s actors. Vincent's title of emperor is the best explanation and statement. Under such "stimulation", the producers and producers also began to rush to find those young actors Come.
But Vincent only has one!Actors born in the [-]s who are already in their early years can't count their hands. However, the environment finally relaxed and began to "relax" to receive fresh blood, but in the end they couldn't catch anyone.
Such a result, not only the filmmakers feel frustrated, but also the netizens are basically disappointed.Every year I watch the same group of people on the red carpet, no matter how much I like it, sometimes I get tired of watching it.Seeing that spring is coming, the new year's competition in the spring stalls has begun again.
Since mid-January, new movies have been released one after another. The TV movie "High School Musical" which aired on January 1 has received countless attentions since its premiere, not only in North America, but this youth singing and dancing style has swept across the world at an almost unimaginable speed. area!
Songs and dances are integrated into the theme of the movie, coupled with the fresh and refined interpretation of the hero and heroine, the originally pleasing setting has obtained a higher score under the fusion of many factors.The distribution company took advantage of the trend and put the release of the soundtrack of the movie into an emergency plan. One can imagine what kind of hot situation it will be when the soundtrack is released.
Musical films will never leave the film stage, just like last year's "Soul Singer" and this year's "Indomitable Action", which just won a best actor trophy from the Oscars. Perhaps the characters in the movie have been forgotten by most people, but the classics that have been passed down are still Will always be accompanied by vinyl records slowly flowing.
For a while, the popularity of music, song and dance movies is simply unprepared!
As far as the part of teen musicals is concerned, "High School Musical" can indeed be regarded as a crab eater. This TV movie directly stole all the limelight of the spring show.
"Path of Glory", which is also biased towards youth, was released on January 1, and the response was mediocre.Originally, they wanted to take advantage of the popularity of last year's NCAA, but by the time the movie was filmed, last year's league had already ended, but this year's league was still in the preliminary stage.
The situation of "Firewall" released after "High School Musical" was not much better. It was originally regarded as the "inheritance" of "The Matrix", but it was not expected to be the modern version of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves. People have no other thoughts but shrugging their shoulders helplessly.
The downturn in the North American film market continued until the release of Zack Snyder's "300 Spartans", which was adapted from comic master Frank Miller's film about the Battle of Thermopylae in Persia and Greece.In the first week of its release, it directly reached the top of the North American box office chart, and successfully stayed at the top of the week for four consecutive weeks, raking in nearly 1.5 million in the North American box office within one month.
This movie, which cost only 6500 million U.S. dollars and took two months to shoot, directly locked a position in the annual North American box office list!It is simply a model of using cost and time to the extreme!Most importantly, in less than a month and a half after its release, it was able to collect nearly 4 million US dollars in the global box office, which really makes other film companies jealous!
Vincent himself also went to the cinema to watch the movie with a "oil bottle" by his side. When the movie ended, he didn't say anything to let Leonardo continue to get in his car.Under the resentful eyes of the other party, Vincent even had the leisure to sign an autograph for a little guy who jumped up and wanted to hug his thigh.
After the Oscars ceremony, during the almost two days of rest, someone who knows the taste of the marrow is pestering and tiresome all day long, wanting to hug and kiss.Vincent held back his temper and desires, and he was still in a state where his body was hollowed out and urgently needed to "recharge his batteries". It was difficult for him to counterattack.In this way, Vincent will not let Leonardo succeed.
Beginning in mid-March, Frank sorted out Vincent's schedule for the next quarter, and formally notified his boss—stop playing, it's time to cheer up and start working.
The first item is the bi-annual blockbuster filming, this time the time is very tight, and the shooting schedule is also very tight.
Judging from the speed at which the fashion circle releases spring clothes in winter, summer clothes in spring, autumn clothes in summer, and winter clothes before autumn is over, Vincent is in a hurry to finish shooting in less than half a month, and this series of films will officially follow The summer clothes put on the market.
On the other hand, Leonard rushed to Clint Eastwood's audition with the cheek.
He had to make up the original work, read the script badly, and compared the advantages and disadvantages of all his potential competitors before he was sure that he was completely ready to "face the battle".
The old handsome man frowned and looked at the person in front of him. He glanced at Martin, who was only in charge of writing the screenplay. He shrugged his shoulders, expressing that he did not interfere in Clint's casting.
Mr. Producer, who has worked with Clint for many years, is very interested, "It's a pity that there are no suitable actors to support you."
Speaking of which, this is also what Clint Eastwood meant. He ended the filming of his last film almost in mid-February last year, and he kept urging his team to start preparing for him and Martin's three-year film. Preparing for a new movie.
There are many intimate plots in this movie. Clint's original intention is that under such plots, strangers are better than acquaintances - just like two actors who don't know each other cooperate for the first time, some directors are more inclined to make more The intimate scenes were shot at the front.When you are not familiar, everyone will do their best in line with professional ethics and ethics, without any scruples in their hearts, and can play freely.
If you wait until you are a little familiar, or if you are too familiar, to shoot intimate scenes, it is easy to cause problems-it’s okay for both parties to be single, but it’s okay to be together because of the drama, and it’s still a good story if it spreads.
What if two people have their own companions?Do you want to be like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt?
This is very embarrassing.
So in order to prevent more embarrassing scenes, people who are not familiar with it are obviously more suitable for this movie.
Firstly, the actors themselves will not be too embarrassed and inaccurate; secondly, the audience will not feel disobedient when watching the movie.
Clint still has confidence in Vincent. After all, when he was preparing to adapt the script, his first reaction when he saw the role of Evan was Vincent—young, handsome, and powerful.Judging from the role of the hypocrite in "To Cover Up" that Vincent played before, he can adapt to this kind of image with great contrast between the front and the back, and he can use his own acting method to digest the characters.
The personality of the other protagonist that Leonardo wants to audition is much more complicated, and he is involved with almost all the characters in the whole play.As a psychiatrist in a closet, the protagonist Kars establishes a friendly and gentle image. On the surface, he looks like a sun-like figure who uses his own temperature to influence and enlighten patients and consultants. An extremely self-loathing and world-weary person who uses a perfect identity and perfect personality to cover up his selfish desires.
There are many reasons for Kars' world-weariness: betrayal by his lover, failure in research, ugly human nature, and extreme hypocrisy himself...
Compared with Vincent's role that would be blackened in the later stage, Leonardo auditioned for the role from the beginning to the end, without the reversal of "influence" and "whitewashing" that appear in ordinary movies. Scum also has the way of life of scum.
The collision of the two protagonists is actually a process in which black desires to dye white into black and influence each other. It is said that most beautiful things can find similarities, but once human nature becomes bad, there are countless ways to be bad.
"Then try this scene." Clint raised his eyebrows and looked at Leonardo, who nodded and accepted Mr. Director's request.
This is the first time after many years that Kars came to visit his predecessor's house again. The Harris couple didn't know the relationship between their son Evan and Kars. They introduced their outstanding children to Kars with enthusiasm and even showing off. Si looked at the young man with critical and complicated eyes.
Evan and "Daddy-Long-Legs" Kars' secrets are naturally only known to the two of them. Evan, who loves Kars in his heart and loves Kars, sits opposite him in the eyes of his parents, and can't help but speak in a clear but enthusiastic way. Look at each other.
Kars looked at the child who grew up under his control and guidance, like an elder meeting for the first time, and praised Evan politely and restrainedly.Evan thought that the other party's pretended indifference was really indifferent, and the compliment of "I think Evan will be better than his father in the future" in the other party's mouth came from a curse deep in his heart.
In this scene, only Carls has lines, and the rest of the Harris family present only have eye scenes, and their eyes are the highlights of this scene.
When the audition was over, even Leonardo couldn't help relaxing his tense nerves.
Schulte was sweating for his boss, "You like this book so much?"
"Of course I like it." Leonardo put on his coat, put on his hat and got into the car, "I have been waiting for the end of the era of personal heroes and good guys winning awards. Schulte, people can't follow the crowd, and they don't care about what other people shoot. Follow along, and you will never succeed in this endless loop.”
There are few movies with a dark personality as the protagonist, mainly because there are few good scripts and few directors.For Martin Scorsese, Saverin, and Clint, fame and awards are no longer their main pursuits, so the movies they produce are more biased towards their own preferences.Whether you win an award or not is just a matter of fate, it doesn't matter if you don't win it, it's the icing on the cake if you win it.
But for the special period when Leonardo is in urgent need of transformation, every role that can allow him to break through himself must not be let go.
