Chapter fifty-six: Qi recruit old department
Chen Tian didn't pay much attention to the outside world's voices.
The public's doubts were all within his expectations. If he continued to shoot horror films, they might say "expected", and he was still the star of the future; but when he shot science fiction blockbusters, their attitudes would change drastically, and he no longer had a bright future, but just lived impatiently and wanted to die.
Whether he can make good science fiction movies will be proved by facts in the future.
Although quarrels with the media through the Internet are one of the promotional methods, Chen Tian doesn’t like it. He also likes to go online, but he goes to Future Network alone. Promoting such things does not require a headache.
At this time, some bad news leaked, which was about Kate, who continued to receive attention because she continued to play the heroine of Chen Tiandu’s movie.
I don’t know how the media got the news, so I dug up Chen Tian’s corner of Kate’s ex-boyfriend Mike-Shin. It was a shameful third party to leak the news, which caused further criticism and hype. Fortunately, Hollywood often cheated on each other and broke up too much. Under the bombardment of fatigue, readers have developed resistance early, and the influence of this scandal is not very big.
Isn’t it normal to pursue beauty when you see it? If Chen Tian is indifferent, I’m afraid someone will say he is a basic person. Only some entertainment tabloids are reporting, and mainstream media don’t care much. If it is placed in China, that’s a matter.
With the money in place, the crew was formed very quickly.
Chen Tiandu immediately called on his old subordinates, makeup artist Greg Canon, and photographer Ayman Ruhr Lubezki. He used these two people very well, and this time he also invited them.
The casting was also launched simultaneously, and the main characters did not have a large-scale interview.
Chen Tian had not interviewed many actors in person, and only saw a few actors, they quickly confirmed the identity of the leading actor. Soon enough, Spielberg thought he was too hasty. Kate's affairs were fine, that was the heroine he had decided on. As one of the three major investors, Chen Tian had this right. Hugo Weiwen and Lawrence Fishburne didn't even think about it, and just chatted for a few simple words and confirmed the role in person.
Fortunately, there are some main supporting roles, such as Prophet, Tank, Seff, Mouse, Switch, etc., who did not make a quick decision. Otherwise, the property manager who was responsible for the payment would vomit blood.
"Director, I'm Charlize. Congratulations on directing a new movie again." Charlize Theron couldn't help calling again when he heard that Chen Tiandu's new movie was a science fiction blockbuster with an investment of over 100 million yuan. She called her a little hard recently.
"Thank you. Charlize, how are you doing recently? I heard you have received a new show, so congratulations."
"Yes, they are all small characters. I also want to ask the director, if there are any roles I can play in "The Matrix", even a little bit of small characters." Charlize's tone was a hint of coquettish act and longing.
Chen Tian was a little embarrassed, "Uh... I'm sorry Charlize. There are not many female characters in this movie." "That's it... that's fine. Next time there are good characters, remember to consider me." She was a little disappointed, but fortunately she quickly adjusted her tone. "I'll definitely treat you to a drink next time I meet..."
"Wait." Chen Tiandu suddenly interrupted her.
He is still not very good at rejecting people, especially beauties.
At this moment, I suddenly had an idea, thought of something, and then quickly opened the information to check it out. There are not many female martial arts actors standing out on the Hollywood screen, and there is also a serious decline in "The Matrix".
After looking through the information about the computer actors, Smith's two subordinate actors have not yet been confirmed. In the original work, except for Hugo Weiwen, who plays Smith, his two iron-faced computer actors are not very outstanding, and not many people even remember what they look like after the movie is played.
Would it be more exciting if you add a facial expressionless beating woman to the computer guy and arrange a female subordinate for Smith? You can arrange more fighting scenes with Trinity. It is better to think about fighting between men and women than fighting between women.
"Director, are you still here?" After waiting for a long time, Charlize didn't hear the voice from the other side.
Chen Tian woke up and replied, "Charlize, how are you doing? Have you had a schedule recently?"
"What?" Charlize was a little stunned. "What does skill mean? I have learned ballet." She keenly realized that something had turned around.
Chen Tiandu said: "I suddenly thought that I could change the role of a male actor, but I needed an agile actress. I don't know if it's suitable for you. If you are interested, you can come to my company for an interview."
"Of course! Of course I'm interested." Charlize agreed almost without thinking, and said a little moved: "Thank you, director. Thank you so much. I will go to the interview as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Tian didn't think much about it. He welcomed a guest, a tall black man.
Lawrence Fishburne has been performing since he was 10 years old. He played the leading role in "Cornbread, Earl-And-Me" at the age of 12. He worked with big-name directors such as Steven Spielberg. Later, he was nominated for the Oscar. He is one of the few famous black movie stars in Hollywood. After winning the TONY Award in 1982, he has been a regular visitor to the Emmy Award and the Golden Globe Award, and has won many awards.
Chen Tiandu received this black actor at the company. Although Lawrence was rough and fierce outside, he had a gentle personality. He took the initiative to ask about many movie characters and then thanked Chen Tian for giving him this role.
"Director, do I need to train in advance, right? What kind of projects are you practicing, guns or fighting, and are there anyone else?" This is why Chen Tian came to him in advance.
"Lawrence, there are only you, me, Kate Bellsey King, and three need to undergo a period of Chinese Kung Fu training, while others need to undergo fighting skills training. The video will be held in early December, and the first shot will be in China. The Kung Fu master I invited is still in China, so it is not convenient to come to the United States. So let me ask you first, whether it is convenient to go to China to learn Kung Fu for a period of time."
"Wow, Chinese Kung Fu, is that kind of Bruce Lee? I like it very much. But it seems that the United States also has a martial arts school. Do you have to go to China for training?"
Chen Tiandu nodded, "It's different from Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do. It's authentic Chinese Kung Fu. Mainland China is the birthplace of Kung Fu. Lawrence, Miss Kate will come with you and meet the action director. When you get there, the church-Mr. Kong will be responsible for the whole process."
"Church - Kong?" Lawrence was a little stunned by the name.
"Oh, and one of the producers of the film, my fellow countrymen, you will meet him."
"Okay, it's good to travel to China." He agreed.
After arranging Lawrence, Chen Tiandu received a call from the Matrix Special Effects Studio. Michael Hinki told him that the experiment of shooting "bullet time" failed. Tie the small launcher to the camera so that the camera can move at a very fast speed. This solution proved that it would not work through experiments, and the camera suddenly exploded halfway.
"Sorry, boss. We need to find a way again." Michael Sinki apologized.
