Six hundred and ninetieth scene Godfather
The aura of an actor is never born, but has to be professionally packaged and trained, and is precipitated by various factors such as time, acting skills, status, and fame. Just like more than ten years ago, no one would I think that Charlize Theron has a strong aura and can give the character an invisible and intangible temperament.
Don't say that aura is not important, the aura given to a character by an actor is enough to dominate the film.
Although she won the Oscar for Best Actress with The Devil, she is firmly in the ranks of Hollywood first-line actresses, but whether it was in the past or now, Charlize Theron is actually following the route of a vase.
Even in today's Hollywood, special effects are becoming more and more important to films, and the appeal of superstars is declining, but Charlize Theron has reached the current position, and there are still enough roles to choose from, and there are many projects. First of all, Actors being considered are also star actors.
It is no exaggeration to say that within a certain period of time, there are more than a dozen roles for Hollywood superstars to choose from.
Throwing away the script and throwing the role will make the first-line stars scramble for it, just like the screenwriter throws out an original script, and the Hollywood company will grab the head.
Duke has never had to choose an actor, and by the same token, Hollywood superstars will not have to have a director...
Like Leonardo DiCaprio, everyone knows he is holding Martin Scorsese's thigh, but he is also starring in other directors' films.
However, the cast of a superstar plus a famous director will attract more attention from the media and the public.
In fact, Duke is very clear that Charlize? Theron Ken agreed to reduce the pay to star in, firstly, his films are almost all box office bombs, and secondly, the role that subverts the image will make her tear off the label of the vase again.
And this role doesn't need to deliberately act ugly like the devil head, just a subversive performance is enough.
After all. An actor needs to keep his front-line status and go further. It is not enough to rely on charity or fashion to improve his style, or even rely on winning the Oscar statuette. What is most needed is commercial achievements.
If you want the film studio to willingly offer a salary of 20 million US dollars, you must show your box office appeal.
The $20 million has never been so simple as money. It is also a symbol of identity and status.
Like Will Smith, Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise, who never won any acting awards, but would anyone deny their superstar status? Actors like Daniel Day-Lewis and Jeff Bridges who have won statuettes but have not proven themselves in the market, even if they are their fans, how many people think they are superstars?
Don't say that if your acting skills are outstanding enough, you have a detached status. Everyone knows that Hollywood is a business circle.
For example, a director like Frank Darabont, who made The Shawshank Redemption. But he couldn't save his career as a director, not to mention those ordinary movie fans, in the Hollywood circle, he was almost completely forgotten by the producers.
Perhaps this idea is very utilitarian, and some people have criticized Duke for being too utilitarian. Never knew what art was.
But don't forget, this is America, a highly commercialized society; this is Hollywood, an extremely realistic Vanity Fair.
If only holding art. And the extremely naive idea that a script can kill Hollywood companies and talent should be appreciated and able to stand out will only be rejected by this circle with extremely fierce competition and competition. Swallow until there is no residue left.
Go and see those well-known directors in Hollywood, which one didn't come out of compromise and struggle? People like Spielberg were strangled by Hollywood to kill their own dream factory.
The script and character design drawings for the new project had already been sent to Charlize Theron, and Duke returned to Los Angeles. Wanted someone to talk to Tom Cruise, but got an invitation to a party from him.
Tom is going to release the image of their little princess.
After receiving the invitation letter, Duke quickly guessed the real purpose of the party. It is a kind of luck and a kind of misfortune for a child to be born in a celebrity family.
She is destined to be born with material treatment that others cannot enjoy, but she will grow up under the watchful eyes of the media and paparazzi...
Although the law protects the rights and interests of all kinds of minors, it is not realistic for the paparazzi to fully abide by the law.
Duke also didn't expect that because of his entanglement with Tom Cruise, Pretty Soup and Nicole Kidman would come to this point in the end. Not only did they not get divorced, but they also had a child.
Moreover, Duke has received some gossip that Tom Cruise has hardly participated in Scientology activities for more than a year, and seems to have signs of wanting to leave.
It's just that Scientology definitely doesn't want the signboard they use to attract believers to just leave.
Rolls-Royce drove into Beverly Hills, and circled into the southern hillside where the rich and famous gather. Tom Cruise’s mansion is located on the edge of the famous Hearst Manor. Be a regular here.
The car stopped at the door, and someone came over and opened the door immediately. Duke adjusted his suit a little, got out of the car, and walked into Cruise's mansion under the light of countless flashing lights.
It is impossible to keep news like Tom Cruise and his wife's baby in secret. The photo of the little princess is also the object of high price rewards offered by many media.
This is a very personal party, and those who can be invited by Tom Cruise are those who have a good relationship with him.
Congratulations, Tom.
Walking into the banquet hall, Duke hugged Tom Cruise lightly before asking, Where is our princess?
Hearing Duke's joking words, Tom Cruise couldn't help laughing, leading the way, This way.
Led by Tom Cruise, Duke came to a corner of the banquet hall, where many people, especially some women, gathered around a baby cradle.
Hi Nicole.
Seeing the tall woman standing by the cradle, Duke gave another hug, Congratulations.
Thank you. Nicole Kidman was obviously in a very good mood.
The other people should be Nicole Kidman's friends. When they saw Duke coming, they quietly stepped aside. Duke stood by the cradle, bent down and looked at the little baby inside, a little guy who was only a few months old. With blue eyes similar to his mother, he was looking at him curiously at the moment.
Hi, honey. Duke grabbed her little hand and shook it, My name is Duke, what about you?
Of course the little guy would not answer, Nicole Kidman said next to her, Her name is Suri, Suri Kidman Cruise.
Suri? Duke couldn't help turning his eyes to Cruise on the other side, Tom, isn't this your masterpiece?
Tom Cruise nodded and said, Of course, that's my name.
With these years of cooperation, the relationship between Tom Cruise and Duke is also deepening. He said bluntly, I have discussed it with Mary, and I want you to be Suri's godfather.
It's just the godfather, Duke pondered for a few seconds, and agreed, No problem.
Today's godfather is no longer what it was at the beginning, but more like a symbol.
When Duke let go of the little guy's hand and stood up, Nicole Kidman added, Suri must be very happy to have a godfather like you.
Who knew that as soon as she finished saying this, Suri? Cruise made a loud voice and began to cry.
Duke and Tom Cruise couldn't help laughing at the same time, and after Nicole Kidman pushed her away, they walked to the other side together.
No work plans recently? Duke said as he walked.
Tom Cruise shook his head, My main job now is to be with my family.
Looks like Mary won't welcome me. Duke took two glasses of soda from the passing waiter, handed one to Tom Cruise, raised the glass to him, and said before drinking, Is it okay? Remember the cooperation we talked about last year?
So you have a suitable role for me in your new project? Tom Cruise's eyes lit up immediately.
Although other films have achieved good results, his most popular is the Mission: Impossible series. No actor wants to tie his future and career to only one series of films, and he is no exception.
Tom Cruise looked towards the place where the agents gathered in the banquet hall, and said, I believe Pat will not stop me from taking your film.
After taking a sip of soda, Duke patted his arm lightly, and said, I'll have someone deliver the script as soon as possible, and I'll have people discuss the terms with Pat.
I'm looking forward to working with you again. Tom Cruise held out his hand, and Duke patted on it, Me too.
Duke looked at the entrance of the banquet hall where another guest came in, and said, I won't delay your entertaining guests.
As he spoke, he walked to the rest table alone, looking for a place to sit down, and just after drinking the soda in the cup, someone came over to say hello.
Hey Duke, long time no see.
Hi, Pat.
Duke stood up, shook hands with her, and motioned for the seat opposite, Sit wherever you want.
Pat Kingsley pulled out a chair and sat across from him. This female agent in Hollywood who was as famous as Nancy Josephson, of course, came to him to chat.
I just heard from Tom that you invited him to join your new project? she asked.
That's right. Duke nodded slightly.
Pat Kingsley smiled slightly and said, I've been looking forward to your cooperation again.
Duke also smiled, but didn't say anything. He believed that Pat Kingsley came here specially for this matter.
I heard that Nancy's ICM is poaching people everywhere. Pat Kingsley didn't go around much, lowered his voice slightly, and said directly, Duke, Leonardo DiCaprio is your friend, Don’t you want him to join ICM?” (To be continued^)
