MTL - Best Actor-v3 Chapter 49 casting matters
The "National Treasure", "The Rival of All People", "Wedding Prodigy" and other movies have all made a lot of money, and now he is involved in the production of "Transformers". The production casts too much attention.
The second reason is that there is no suitable actor. Other actors are easy to say, but the heroine Juno is hard to find. It's not that Hollywood doesn't have actresses of that age, but there are very few who want to perform that kind of charm, those who have their own opinions at a young age, who are independent and independent but have the characteristics of adolescence.
Sean originally wanted Haydn to try, although she is now participating in the filming of "Super Heroes", but the time can still be spared, but think about it carefully. She is more than cute, but not independent enough. Otherwise, she would not plunge into Sean's arms while trying to get rid of the shackles of her family, and use him as her support.
Although there is Camilla's instigation, she also has a big problem with her own character. Even without Camilla and Sean, she will probably find a man much older than herself in the future Dating.
The topic comes back to the actors. If you are looking for actresses of the same age, then the acting skills must be high enough, which is not very difficult. If you're looking for an actress with good acting skills, you have to find someone with a baby face, which means at least she looks like she wants to be a high school student.
This story basically revolves around an unexpectedly pregnant female high school student, with humanistic care, so at least the actress can't leave the audience "this is like a high school student" as soon as she appears After all, this is not those campus comedies, as long as the plot attracts the audience, and even that kind of contrast effect is what is required.
So the people in charge are very embarrassed. If it weren't for these two reasons, this script that was blacklisted in 2005 should have been shot long ago.
The so-called blacklist refers to the list of movies worthy of being made by a producer and friend with a good reputation in Hollywood. The list was only circulated on the Internet at first, but as several of them were filmed or won honors or won the box office, the list gradually became famous, so the producer and his friends normalized the list. .
Sean had heard about the name of the blacklist in a previous life, and the translation was also very simple, it was Blacklist, so he quickly recalled it after knowing it. He originally wanted to take down the other scripts on the list that he had an impression of, or that he felt intuitively good, but unfortunately, only after he got to know them did he realize that these selected scripts more or less already had masters.
Well, that is to say, the blacklist is actually used to hype fame, maybe it was just an unintentional act at first, and later, after having a reputation, it becomes a deliberate behavior. Moreover, even if there are many scripts on the blacklist that may fail after they are made, it is enough to have five or six big successes. People generally only remember those successful works, and forget more about the failures.
But in any case, the script blacklist is a very interesting list, so after the trouble of casting, Sean also participated.
Now this trouble has disappeared, Sean is exchanging opinions with several responsible persons, and through them and the original author Diablo Coty, and finally found a suitable The candidate, a girl from Canada.
This Canadian girl named Ellen Page is even a year younger than Camilla, but she has no idea how much better her acting skills are. Although Hard Candy was a niche movie, her performance in it was unanimously praised.
She plays a 14-year-old girl. Her friend was killed after meeting a man she met on the Internet. After stunned the other party, he humiliated him by pretending to be castrated, and finally got his criminal evidence and gave him punishment.
Allen played the seemingly confused, but immature girl in it, plus the baby face was hard to tell the age, which was very in line with Juno's image, even It can be said that it is tailor-made.
And the other party was also very interested in reading the script, and the salary was also cheap, so the problem that had been bothering me for a long time was solved like this.
"That's why, no matter how big the difficulty, there will be a time to solve it." Sean said to his personal assistant after the matter was confirmed.
Emma smiled but did not speak, but Sean guessed that she must have rolled her eyes in her heart. This is an inevitable thing. No matter how much you admire someone, as long as you have been by his side for a long time, you will see every bit of it in your eyes. After you find that he is an ordinary person like yourself, the awe in your heart will naturally disappear. Just vanished.
Especially Sean has never put on airs in front of Emma, even if she is called at work, it is not long now, she will treat it with a smile, and listen to it again in a few months In this case, it is estimated that he will directly give him the same eyes as Galen and the others.
Well, the problem of casting is not only on "Juno", but also on the "Gossip Girl" TV series that is about to start shooting. It's just that "Juno" was delayed because it couldn't find a suitable actor, but "Gossip Girl" slowed down the casting work because there was no suitable TV station for broadcasting.
As strange as it may sound, Samsara Films has produced several TV series with fairly good ratings, and some TV stations will refuse to broadcast their TV series. But the fact is this, very simple, each TV station has its own positioning, such as CBS, which is now the main crime drama, while Fox is the roost in the draft, and ABC has a tendency to develop into women's friends after "Desperate Housewives" .
If it goes beyond its own positioning, it is good to say that too much will be counterproductive. Moreover, youth idol dramas such as "Gossip Girl" have never had high ratings, such as "Orange County Boys" or "Smallboys" - no doubt, "Smallboys" is indeed an idol drama type. Even Samsara Films' production for UPN's "Crimson Detective" has plummeted in ratings after a decent first season.
And "Gossip Girl" doesn't make money from advertisements, or it doesn't make money from advertisements brought about by ratings, Sean has already recalled some things after he planned to win the copyright of the book , and these things are also handed over to professionals to demonstrate. Therefore, it is unlikely that the four major TV stations will broadcast this TV series, and those who are willing to broadcast will only be UPN or WB, that is, the small stations of CBS and Warner.
Here comes the problem again, the situation of UPN and WB is not very good, as I said before, because of the lack of coverage, some places are wireless stations, and some places are wired stations, listen to It seems to be balanced, but in fact it can't compete with the Big Four on wireless stations, and it can't compete with professional HBO on cable stations. UPN is a little bit better. In the past two years, it has been supported by relatively good programs such as "America's Next Top Model" and "Crush Detective" produced by Samsara Films. loss.
If Gossip Girl was handed over to them, it is difficult to say what the result will be, and such a sale should be avoided, so the TV series that should have been put on the agenda have slowed down. But now there is news that UPN and WB are not willing to sit still, so they are planning a merger, and Sean confirmed through Vladimir that Viacom is also very interested in cooperating with Time Warner to establish a PR TV network.
To tell the truth, Sean really wanted to get involved. Having spent so many years in Hollywood, he knew the importance of owning the media. Even if the combined TV station was not as good as the four major TV stations, at least It is also a very influential media. And he is not without money now. When he was asked to resign from Google's board of directors, his people still fought for some benefits, at least the diluted equity was relatively much less.
Sean doesn't expect to get much out of it, so a little benefit from Google should be enough to fill in, as long as it's a good deal between Viacom and Time Warner. Unfortunately, when he raised this question with Vladimir, the latter unceremoniously dismissed his thoughts.
"If it's just Viacom and Warner, then after the merger is successful, they will each hold 50% of the shares, and neither can ride the other's head, so naturally they can cooperate well, but if there is A third party..." Having said that, Vladimir spread his hand and did not continue.
The vortex of struggle.
Well, Sean admits, he was thinking too well before, patronizing Viacom and Time Warner, without considering whether they would like it. However, he did not give up. The method of holding 50% of the shares is very balanced, but once there is a contradiction that cannot be compromised, the final result will only be to give up. Although this takes into account the overall situation, it is easy to let the opportunity slip away.
So he still pays attention to Vladimir, and then let the investment company think of a way, anyway, he will do his best to obey the destiny, it is better if he can intervene, it doesn't matter if he can't, he is holding some Things are starting to work.
Back to the topic, if the merger of UPN and WB goes smoothly, then "Gossip Girl" can be arranged on the new TV station. Just make the first episode in time for the trade show in May. Therefore, although the casting has been suspended, it has not stopped completely. This is at least better than "Twilight". Sean has spent a lot of time on the film copyright of this novel, but so far there is no intention to prepare.
