Chapter 759 Another masterpiece
The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads!
When interviewing actors, Du Caige was still thinking about a question: if he doesn't release new works for half a year, any works.
No music, movies, comics...
what happens?
Will he... be forgotten?
After all, the general public is very forgetful.
If a star does not show up for half a year, has no works, does not participate in variety shows, does not accept interviews, his name will not appear in any media.
It is 100% certain that he will lose a lot of fans.
But Du Caige feels that he is not a star.
Perhaps, it will not be forgotten?
Just like the old thief George Martin... old man, he hasn't updated "A Song of Ice and Fire" for several years, and fans haven't forgotten him.
No, it's not that I haven't forgotten him, on the contrary, it can be said that I am even more engraved with him.
And when he participated in the production of "Game of Thrones", and then released "Blood and Fire" (the prequel of Ice and Fire, the history of the Targaryen family), the fans scolded him, and it was still time to pay for it. unambiguous.
So Du Caige decided to try it next time, stay away from the media and the spotlight.
Do not publish Weibo news, do not accept interviews, and do not record programs.
I don't write songs for people, and I don't publish them.
Hide for half a year or a year.
Then, when the post-production of "The Matrix" is completed and it is ready to be released, I will use a strong comeback to make the best publicity for "The Matrix".
As for what is called a strong comeback... For example, release the third volume of "A Song of Ice and Fire", "Children of the Mist" 2, and "Three-Body Problem" at the same time? If not enough, add another "Hyperion"?
Looking for ten past Grammy-winning pop artists who are releasing new songs at the same time?
Come to think of it, this should make the eyes of the whole world focus on him,
Complete a "Matrix" promotion.
As for fighting Shen Jinsong, there is no need for such a large force.
However, there are some award-giving activities that cannot be missed.
For example, the next Dahuaguo Golden Elephant Award.
And the Hemingway Pop Awards, he had to be there.
In addition, there will be several awards in the Stars and Stripes at the beginning of next year, including the Grammy, the Stars and Stripes Awards, and... the Oscar statuette.
Du Caige decided that, except for these awards, he must stay away from the media.
Then he raised his head and said blankly: "Thank you for your performance. We will conduct a comprehensive consideration before deciding on the final candidate. Please go back and wait for our further notice."
The domestic second-tier actor who had just finished the audition looked at Du Caige's expression anxiously, and said respectfully, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity to audition, then I will go back and wait for the announcement."
He knew it was useless to say more here, so he could only go back and ask his agent to continue to inquire.
When walking out, the actor couldn't hide a wry smile.
He was not satisfied with his performance just now.
It's just that the script was given to him temporarily, and he didn't have much time to prepare.
And it's just a short paragraph, without beginning or end, he doesn't even understand what kind of story this is, and he doesn't even know who the character is.
If you want to play it, you can't play it!
Forget it, it's just a villainous little boss character in a competing movie, it's not worth getting too high.
But he knew it in his heart.
If he can join this movie, even if it is a small villain boss with few lines, it will be a milestone in his career!
Maybe it can help him lay the foundation for becoming a first-line actor.
After all, this new work directed by Hemingway is too much-anticipated!
After the actor went out, Du Caige turned his head and whispered to the producer of "The Matrix", Joseph Di Biagio from Warner Bros. Pictures.
"Hemingway, the actor just now shouldn't have been included in the audition list at all. He doesn't have the ability." Joseph DiBiagio, with curly chestnut hair, brown eyes, and square chin, with obvious Mediterranean features, complained softly in English .
Du Caige replied absent-mindedly: "It's just a try, and it doesn't affect anything. I deliberately relaxed the criteria for selection, so that more people can have the opportunity to audition, and maybe they can find the actor I like."
"Is it necessary? With your appeal, the hotel may be crowded with excellent actors who want to audition. I think what you need to do is to reduce the number of auditions. Otherwise, you won't have to do anything in the past few months. It's spent on auditions. Hemingway, let me help you with a preliminary screening!"
Although he has the title of "producer", Joseph Di Biagio, a veteran producer of Warner Bros. Pictures, has a lot of beeps in his heart.
He knew that although according to industry practice, the producer is in charge of the director and supervises the director, but when you work with a director like Hemingway, a billionaire and the third highest-grossing director, especially, he is your boss—cooperate Don't worry about who is bigger, the producer or the director.
So he spoke in a very polite tone, keeping his posture very low.
He knew very well that Hemingway could be both a director and a producer, but he still asked him to be a producer alone, not to find a father, but to find a handyman to run errands and manage accounts.
Du Caige politely rejected his proposal: "I still want to see it with my own eyes."
Joseph DiBiagio looked at his expression, and said hesitantly: "Frankly speaking, Hemingway, you haven't finished the script yet, so you don't really know what kind of performance you want?"
Joseph Di Biagio really hasn't read the full version of the script.
As a producer, it is very rare and strange to see someone who has not seen the script when it comes to casting.
But Joseph Di Biagio is very clear about his position. He is a tool man. Tool man should not have too many demands. He can eat whatever the boss gives him.
Du Caige turned to look at him, nodded slowly, and shook his head again.
"I've finished writing the script, but I'm not satisfied with some parts, and I'm still adjusting it. I still need to make some revisions to the setting and plot of some secondary characters."
Joseph Di Biagio expressed his understanding.
It is common sense that the original script needs to be adjusted and revised many times.
Many directors are still changing the script while filming.
Sometimes the director will adjust the script according to the actor's performance. For example, it was originally a supporting role, but because the actor is so outstanding, he adjusted the weight so that the actor's role is close to the protagonist.
Some are obviously male (female) protagonists, but the director is dissatisfied with his (her) performance and reduces his (her) scenes, and even cuts his (her) scenes in half or even completely during post-production. cut off.
These are common things in the circle, not surprising at all.
After Hemingway won the third place in the global box office list, it is understandable that he wants to achieve self-breakthrough, want to make a movie that strives for excellence and hit a new record at the box office, or wants to make a movie that hits the Oscars.
"Listen, I know you're writing a script alone, and you used to do it a lot. You're a genius, and I'm sure you can write an excellent script on your own. But now that you've encountered a little problem, why don't you gather together How about a team to deal with difficulties together? You know, I can actually offer some advice. But you are Boss, you have the final say, this is just my personal opinion."
Du Caige thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Okay, then start to form a screenwriting team."
Before the crew is formed, it is also customary to form a screenwriting team first.
Because Du Caige didn't want to make a film in a Western context, the screenwriting team formed was naturally a combination of Chinese and Western, including both Chinese and Westerners of different nationalities.
It took a few days for the screenwriter team to gather in Shanghai from all over the world, and sat down for the first time to discuss and assign tasks.
Du Caige told them the outline of the plot.
"Oh, a genius idea!"
"Fascinating idea!"
"There's only one word to describe it, 'cool'!"
"Du Dao, you are really awesome, you can come up with such awesome ideas."
"Fuck, I'm completely out of words, I can only 'fuck'!"
"The filming is another masterpiece."
"What are you waiting for? Let's get started!"
Screenwriters of all colors expressed their wonder in different languages.
Du Caige tried his best not to laugh out loud.
After filming "The Matrix", I will film the adapted version of "Black Mirror". From now on, don't tell me the word "cool", no one is as cool as me.
From now on, as long as you like sci-fi movies, you can't get around these two "black".
"The Matrix" is so awesome.
In this era, it is equivalent to a dimensionality reduction strike.
It can make people stupid.
Can a movie still be made like this?
How did the director's brain grow!
There are not many movies that can be called "magic works".
But no matter what standard you use to define "magic work", it is almost impossible to exclude "Matrix" from the ranks of "magic work".
Although the main story line of the first part of "The Matrix" is a bit old-fashioned, some of them are too much for Hollywood commercial blockbusters.
But if you look at the trilogy as a whole, "The Matrix" is undoubtedly an epoch-making masterpiece.
This is a film that can be understood in many ways.
Just like Lu Xun said (I really said it), "A red building, Confucians see "Yi", Taoists see obscenity, wits see lingering, revolutionaries see rowing, gossipers see secrets of the palace."
A great work can withstand interpretation from multiple angles.
The same goes for "The Matrix."
Whether you look at it from the story itself, from the superficial expression, from the deep symbolic meaning, from its religious connotation, from its metaphor...
You can get something that shocks you, makes you think deeply, or even makes you shudder.
People who like dazzling special effects can get first-class special effects and movie viewing effects from "The Matrix".
People who like action movies can feel the excellent action design and excellent fighting scene layout in "The Matrix".
People who like to dig out details, ha ha, blessed, there are countless details in "The Matrix" that can be mined.
People who like to discuss movies in depth... The philosophical and sociological significance of "The Matrix" can be used to open a course in a university and discuss it for four years.
