Chapter 792 (1/2)
It's a rare leisure time, and you don't have to spend your own money. Rachel Vicky and Kate Beckinsale planned to play in Seattle for a week, but they were recalled by their agencies three days later.
Opportunities come from the sky.
When Rachel returned to Los Angeles, her agent Todd winterburton, who was so excited that she almost lost her manners, handed over the two scripts to her.
Both are blockbuster projects coveted by many Hollywood female stars of the right age: the special effects blockbuster ”Mummy” by Denise and fox and the new film ”Titanic” by James Cameron.
Happiness came so suddenly that Rachel couldn't help feeling unreal.
At the age of 15, he began to play some small roles in the British local film and television circle. At the age of 25, he has been in this circle for 10 years. For this industry, the more he knows how rare it is to get this opportunity. There is no fairness in this circle. Many actors at the bottom may not even have a chance to play a supporting role in such a blockbuster movie.
And she got two in a flash.
They're all heroines.
It will be the Oscars ceremony at the end of the awards season soon. Hollywood stars and small stars who have been busy for a year gather in Hollywood, so it is also the most active period of gossip in this circle.
A lot of people snatch the chance they want to fight for. In a flash, it falls on two unknown British actresses. This kind of news is hard to hide and spreads quickly.
Both CAA, the brokerage firm of Rachel Vichy, and wma, the brokerage firm of Kate Beckinsale, responded at the first time, providing the two women with the top-level brokerage, public relations and assistant teams. At this time, the first thing to guard against is that some messy things will spoil the chance that they are going to get.
In order to pursue the upper position, women secretly tear it up, but there is no need for it.
This is especially true of women in Hollywood.
In the days that followed, Rachel was surrounded by a group of people in the company and began to work day and night. She spent a lot of time studying the script, getting in-depth information about the two projects, meeting with the senior management of danielis entertainment, communicating with the creators of the two projects, rehearsing and auditioning repeatedly, and participating in the contract negotiation with her agent. Almost immediately, she started dieting and acting Body building projects, a series of media interviews to increase exposure, etc.
Because of the tense schedule, Rachel has to give up the small role in the new film ”stealing incense” by Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci, because the film is planned to be shot in Italy in May. Although her part is very small, she can't leave for Italy at that time.
Under the news, Rachel soon learned that Kate Beckinsale was given the chance to be the heroine of ”Thunderbolt baby”.
Although it's a three Woman movie, in Rachel's opinion, the heroine of ”baby thunderbolt” is still more golden than ”Mummy” and ”Titanic”. After all, the performing arts circle is dominated by men. In the case of male and female co stars, the male star will definitely get more audience. Correspondingly, the female lead usually doesn't have much room to play.
Rachel's heroine has been finalized, and the three creative cores of next summer's mummy are basically in place.
The director is the original version of Stephen Sommers, a 33 year old young director who graduated from the Film Academy of USC. Six years ago, he successfully entered Hollywood by relying on his well-known film debut. The latest Disney animated adaptation of the live action film ”Prince of the forest” was released last Christmas, and the box office was also considerable.
The hero has decided on Fang Kimmer.
In fact, even if it doesn't happen in Simon's memory, Fang Kimo is not a lucky actor. He has no shortage of opportunities. But whether it's George Lucas's special effects blockbuster ”the chance” or Simon's memory ”Batman Forever”, and then to many later films, never let the male star try a big red and purple feeling.
The failure of his career seems to be reflected in his appearance.
So that later, Simon accidentally in a Swedish thriller adaptation of the film ”snowman” to see each other, the appearance and figure out of shape to the extent that you do not look at the cast simply can not recognize.
Simon, the big butterfly, has changed the fate of many people. Fang Kimer is another one.
If you can, Simon is inclined to the original actor Brandon Fisher, but the actor is still only 27 years old.
Yeah, Simon's the same age.
Simon has seen the samples of his partner's films. Compared with Simon's mature temperament, Brandon fisher can still describe him as beautiful and fresh. Most of the films he plays in are high school students. His appearance is still the kind that some Hollywood bigwigs with special sexual orientation covet. It doesn't match with the image of the bearded prodigal son in mummy a few years later The acting skills are also quite raw.
In comparison, Fang Kimer, who has enough seniority, age, image and temperament, is just right. Moreover, the Hollywood actor who has just recovered a lot of popularity by relying on last year's ”stealing the line of fire” is willing to sign a trilogy long-term contract, and the two sides are ready to hit it off.In the past, because Hollywood was a producer responsibility system, the relevant projects still needed some big shot producers to take the helm.
Denise entertainment has gradually changed this pattern.
Traditional Hollywood producers often have to control the production ideas and content direction of a project. The most typical one is Spielberg. This point is basically decided by Simon himself on danielis' side. In fact, she is also regarded as an executive producer with aloof status, but Simon is rarely named.
As a result, the producer of a series of blockbusters of danielis entertainment is mainly responsible for the logistics work, helping the director and actors solve all aspects of the problems encountered in the shooting process. In terms of creation, Simon, the boss behind the scenes, and the director are jointly in charge.
Over the years, Denise entertainment has a very stable team of filmmakers.
It's just that Simon is usually the center of control, and these people are not as famous as the gold medal producers like Jerry brookheimer and Joe silvo who need to control the whole situation.
For the three projects of foreign cooperation, ”Mummy” is planned to be released the earliest, and the production team is also set up the fastest. At the same time of casting, the script has been basically finalized, and the planning of scenery and special effects has begun. The project is expected to start in June. In order to save the cost as much as possible, Simon plans to shoot the main part in Morocco as in the original, which is located in North Africa, not far from the UK, so as to facilitate the crew to shoot part of the relevant scenes in the UK.
During the period from Janet's birthday to the Oscar ceremony at the end of March, igritte continued to push forward her IPO process. The employee stock ownership plan, which reached 25% of the total equity, was implemented smoothly, while Simon stayed in Los Angeles to deal with a series of important projects of Denise.
The Easter and summer films such as ”anti intelligence 3”, ”Jurassic Park 2” and ”Apollo 13” have been completed. They were in the pre release marketing stage at the beginning, and the psychological games, 3D animation versions of ”beauty and beast” and ”Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice” scheduled from the second half of the year to the end of the year are still in production, which requires Simon to devote enough attention Note.
This was followed by a series of project preparation and production from 1996 to 1997.
It's not just blockbusters like ”guillotine”, ”mission impossible 2”, ”Mummy”, ”game of the brave” and ”wonder woman 2”, but also medium-sized but equally important projects such as the new evocation movie universe, ”rush hour” series and last year's brilliant Kim Carey's new films.
”Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice” is being filmed in Australia. Simon also plans to go to Australia after the Oscar ceremony to follow up for some time.
It's also this month that a lot of things are happening with the westero system.
