MTL - Heads Up Hollywood-Chapter 53 goddess! Oh no, Queen!

In the United States, "Star Wars" is not only a movie, but also a trend and a culture.

When George Lucas announced that the Star Wars series would be rebooted three years ago, the nation was almost boiling. And now, Lucasfilm officially held a press conference to announce to the whole society that the "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Ghost Man" project was officially launched!

The press conference scene attracted almost all the major media in the United States, and Fox TV even broadcast it live.

At such a grand press conference, in Hollywood, apart from Star Wars, there is no semicolon!

At the press conference, except for George Lucas, the founder of the Star Wars series, who was the focus of everyone's attention, the selection of the director also shocked everyone's attention.

Turned out to be the most popular and potential young director in Hollywood today - Dunn Walker!

Before that, Dunn Walker and James Cameron worked together to create the "Titanic" box office myth of 1.88 billion US dollars

Now, Dunn Walker and George Lucas have chosen to join forces again. What kind of future will this Star Wars prequel have?

"Excuse me, Mr. Lucas, what made you choose a young director like Dunn Walker? Aren't you afraid that he is inexperienced and screwed up the movie?"

The reporter from CNN was straightforward and went to war.

George Lucas smiled slightly, "Dawn is a very good director. The success of "Titanic" has proved his strength, please don't look at him with your own eyes. Yes, he is very young , but at the same time, he is also a genius."

The reporter of The New York Times seized the opportunity keenly, "Mr. Lucas, we all know that the talented director of Hollywood is your good friend Steven Spielberg, I don't know what you think of it in your heart. What about these two? Which one of them is more talented?"

George Lucas remained calm, he had seen such scenes a lot, "I'm sorry, this is the press conference of Star Wars, and I won't comment on any issues that have nothing to do with it."

Dunn couldn't help but almost laughed.

Dare to be so bad-tempered in front of media reporters, the entire Hollywood is probably George Lucas, who told him to create Star Wars?

Seeing that this old guy was not good enough, the reporters put their eyes on Dunn, "Excuse me, Director Walker, do you know about Star Wars? Do you think you have enough ability to make this movie well?"

Tang En said lightly: "I am a loyal Star Wars fan, and I will do my best to make this movie well, so that fans can have a feast for the eyes next summer."

"In that case, can you predict the box office of this movie after it is released?"

The reporter's question was very unfriendly, and faint laughter came from the press conference.

The corner of Tang En's mouth twitched, looking at him in a daze, "The pattern is broken!"

"what?"

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

George Lucas coughed lightly and said quickly, "Dawn is saying that this question is too ridiculous. He is a director, not a wizard who can predict!"

…

Whenever I think of this Star Wars prequel trilogy, Dunn feels very uncomfortable.

Not to mention the last two films whose word of mouth was broken, even the first one with the best reviews, when I think of it, there are quite a few flaws.

George Lucas may still be ahead of Hollywood in terms of special effects, but in terms of plot design, it has fallen behind an era.

And the choice of the main actors is even more disappointing.

In the whole "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Ghost Man", the most outstanding performance is actually an underage girl!

The male lead Liam Neeson has a zombie face from beginning to end, and his expression has not changed even before his death, which makes people watch the drama in minutes; the male lead, Ewan McGregor, has no Jedi Knight at all. Majestic, cowardly expression, feminine like a deserter.

On the contrary, several animated characters have lifelike expressions, and their acting skills instantly killed the two male protagonists.

Now, Dunn has become the director of the movie, and he must make changes!

Not to mention the box office level, we must not let the reputation of this movie affect his reputation!

However, George Lucas has already decided on the candidate for the number one male. It is Liam Neeson who gave Dunn a headache. It is said that he is training in fencing and has been preparing for three months.

Therefore, the candidate for the second male number must be changed!

The producers of "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Phantom Men" are George Lucas and Rick McCollum, the latter is the executive producer arranged by Twentieth Century Fox, mainly overseeing the financial and other aspects, the actors The decision-making power is mainly in the hands of George Lucas and Dunn.

As the famous Star Wars, almost all of the audition invitations sent by the crew got responses.

After five auditions in the morning, the two decision makers came up with their own candidates - producer George Lucas recommended Ewan McGregor, director Dunn Walker recommended Ben Affleck.

"Dawn, Ben Affleck has never put on a convincing performance. This is Star Wars. Even if it's a sci-fi film or an action film, acting is equally important!"

George Lucas spoke earnestly.

Dunn is a little funny, Lucas, Lucas, if I hadn't seen the original film, I would have agreed with your idea.

"George, this is different! Action films have the standards of action films. What we need is not the nuanced performances in literary films, but what we need is crispness and neatness at a glance! Intuitive! Shocking!"

Dunn felt that he had to convince him, "Ewan McGregor just won the best actor in the British Film Institute, but it is a literary film, and he may even star in his true colors. The complexity of action films, you should understand In contrast, Ben Affleck's acting experience is much more complicated, especially starring in Michael Bay's "Peerless Catastrophe", he can calmly handle our action scenes."

"Don, this is different..."

George Lucas obviously didn't want to step back, Dunn interrupted immediately, staring at his eyes, "George, you have to think about it! The number one male Liam Neeson is from Northern Ireland, why is the number two male even more so? Choose a foreigner?"

"Um?"

George Lucas narrowed his eyes.

Dunn shook his head, "In any case, Star Wars is an American Star Wars, and Ben Affleck has a natural advantage. More importantly, how was the script written? Master Qui-Gon was killed by Darth Maul, And the apprentice Obi-Wan avenged the master. What does this mean? It means that the apprentice must have stronger strength and stronger body than the master!"

Dunn paused, and his face could not help showing a bit of sarcasm, "With Ewan McGregor's indecisive face, does he have the ability to take revenge? Besides, Liam Neeson is six feet three, Ivan McGregor is only five feet eight, is that logical?"

Another producer, Rico McCollum, who never interjected much, heard Dunn's words and couldn't help but agree, "I think Dunn is right, Ben Affleck is also six feet three. , and his body is strong and his facial lines are firm, which is in line with the selection criteria of a Jedi Knight."

George Lucas hesitated.

Tang En frowned and couldn't help saying: "George, "Peerless Catastrophe" will be released soon. Once the box office is a big hit, Ben Affleck, who plays the second male lead, is likely to be popular all over the United States next year!"

Rick McCollum gritted his teeth, UU read www.uukanshu.com "George, I agree with Dunn, Ben Affleck is better than Ewan McGregor in terms of movies and marketing. ."

"Then choose Ben Affleck." George Lucas shook his head with a wry smile and looked at Dunn, "Boy, your reasons are always so good."

Tang En heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I am the director, so I must be responsible for the movie."

…

In the afternoon audition, it was the heroine.

Tang En yawned and drank two big sips of coffee. This casting job was really not easy.

But when the first audition actor appeared, Tang En was stunned for a moment, the exhaustion all over his body disappeared instantly, his mouth opened wide, and he murmured: "Wo... Goddess!"

"what?"

Several crew producers turned their heads one after another, looking at Tang En's pig-like face, they were ashamed and wished they could find a crack to burrow in.

Shame, shame!

Even George Lucas couldn't help blushing. This Dunn Walker was as rambunctious as the rumors. This is work, and it scares the little girl?

"Cough cough!"

George Lucas coughed heavily, and Dunn reacted immediately. Seeing her blushing blushing and her delicate face bubbling with water, her heart became even more excited, she barely controlled her emotions, and said unquestionably: "I've decided, she's my Queen Padmé Amidala!"

"Cough cough..."

This time, it wasn't just George Lucas, the staff were coughing violently.

First the goddess, then the queen...

Director Walker, even if you show love, you don't have to be so public, right? This is the audition field, this is work!
