Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

When Su Yun and Lin Jingying returned to the wooden house together, Tom's parents who heard the news were sitting in the living room with disbelief on their faces.

Who could have imagined that?

The people who thought they were just coming to live in the small town for a period of time turned out to be the staff of the great director Kubrick's crew.

"Excuse me, is that the Stanley Kubrick I thought?" Tom's mother Mary asked tentatively.

"Yes, that's right, it's the director of "2001: A Space Odyssey" that our family went to see!" Tom shouted happily, and then seemed to think of something, and his cheerful voice gradually lowered, " They wanted me to play a role."

"Yes, we felt that Tom was a good fit for the role of 'Martin', and he passed our first round of auditions. If nothing else, we'll try again when Mr. Kubrick comes back. That's okay, Tom. She is an actor." Su Yun followed up.

So the worried parents couldn't help but looked at Su Yun with complicated eyes, and finally, Mary said again: "I also know that Tom likes acting - when he was still living in New York, he used to join the local theater troupe ..."

"Since then, he has already shown the ability to perform drama, and I am his most loyal audience."

"I've always been interested in theater since I was a kid, but I never tried it because it was risqué growing up in Hollywood."

"It's just right, let Tom make your dream come true!" Vivian clapped her hands and said.

"But the road to acting is very difficult. I don't know if Tom is just a passing interest, or..." It's okay to participate in stage plays at school, and he goes home after the performance, and his family takes care of him.

Once he enters the entertainment industry in Hollywood, he always has to follow the crew all over the place when making movies, maybe Tom will lose his normal childhood from now on... Thinking of this, Mary, who loves her children, feels heart palpitations.

"I think we should respect Tom's opinion." As a stepfather, Seth looked at Tom gently, "Tom, tell me, what is your choice?"

"I, I haven't made up my mind yet..." The mother's obvious resistance made Tom, who was originally happy, hesitated.

"According to your own ideas, don't worry too much, we will support you." Seth stroked his hair, then turned to look at Su Yun, "Sorry, it happened suddenly, can you give us some Time to think about it?"

"No problem, but please hurry up, because we will interview a group of people in the future. If there are more suitable young actors, we will sign a contract to start filming as soon as possible." Su Yun put Vivian's shoulders, pretending He leaned over and chatted with Zhuang Long, Lin Jingying, and the nanny, three adults who looked like adults, and then announced the end of the discussion.

It looks like they are just insignificant children who come to see and see with adults; but in fact, these two "children" are probably the only ones who can have the decision-making power in this living room.

After politely seeing off Tom's family of three, Su Yun hurriedly called Kubrick again.

"Oh, my side is going well. Your compensation has reached 6% of the box office share, and the investment in the movie has also reached more than 500 million US dollars. With the unused ones, you can probably get together 600. The total investment amount of 600 US dollars—that is, the production cost of "Artificial Intelligence" will be [-] million US dollars for the time being." Kubrick said by phone.

This number is not too much for him now, but considering that the most important little protagonist and an important second male lead are both Chinese-then, it is really Kuo who can win this number for this movie. Brick's ability.

You know, Lu Shaolong's "Tiger Fighting the Dragon" claims to have an investment of 80 US dollars, and with those scattered things, the total production cost is 85 US dollars.

Not to mention that Lu Shaolong had already built a reputation in Hollywood and had a solid foundation before this.

And the basis of Su Yun's "Artificial Intelligence" to be filmed relies on Kubrick's banner.

"Don't worry about me. For the release of "A Clockwork Orange", I studied the algorithm for tracking box office data, and then made a computer system for tracking box office data——tell the process to the editor of "Variety" magazine After Green, "Variety Show" recently released a box office statistics table..." When Kubrick said this, there was even a little complacency in his tone, as if such a statistical system was directly given to others, which is not something to be distressed about. thing...

Good guy, it turns out that the modern box office statistics algorithm that has become the norm in the film industry is actually the main job as a director. The "little" clever ghost who wanted to mix special effects came up with it.

This can't help but remind Su Yun of the "joke" that Kubrick made with the photographer because of his desire for control. During the filming process, he was very dissatisfied after being told that he could not change the script of the movie as he wanted, and turned around and started a confrontation with the movie's cinematographer, Matty.

At that time, Kubrick was still a young man in his early thirties, and the photographer McGrady was already a well-known veteran photographer.

Because he was interfered by the producer and couldn't do anything, so Kubrick, who used to be a photographer, aimed his eyes at the tyrant on the set, and wanted to "point out" the old photographer McGrady to follow his own ideas. shoot.

The veteran cameraman McGrady felt that Kubrick's "pointing" interfered with his work, and he was so angry that he quit the filming in the middle of the filming.

Generally speaking, if the photographer escapes during filming, the filming of the crew will at least be delayed or even temporarily suspended; but because Kubrick was born as a photographer, he is happy to directly direct the director and the photographer. The two professions are in a nest.As a director and as a photographer, I completed most of the shooting work of this film in two roles.

It is a perfect counter to the actions marked "You can do it", and simply and neatly completed an arrogant rebuttal of "I will do it, I will do it, and I can get you an award by the way"-because this film is called In the film "Spartacus", Mai Di's name is still kept on the staff list as a photographer, so when the Oscar for Best Cinematography was presented the following year, the old photographer Mai Di who hadn't worked much Just so inexplicably won the first and only Oscar for Best Cinematography in his life...

After Mai Ti, who had won the prostitution success, came to the stage to accept the award with a dazed face, the crew realized that they forgot to remove his name from the staff list...

This one dared to go up (receive the film with the hand), and the other one also dared to go up (to receive the award on the stage), but it really can be called the Grand Prize of Human Behavior Behavior.

I don’t know how those Li-prefixed and Bao-prefix series of Oscar complainers who are desperately tossing themselves only for a statuette will feel when they hear the confusing news that "actually a statuette can win prostitutes for nothing"...

Of course, it was also because the film failed to do what it wanted, but was stared at by the producer and experienced all kinds of restraints; in order to maximize the freedom of filming in the future, Kubrick left the legendary Free America, went to settle in England.

If it weren't for Vivienne's illness, it is estimated that he might never return to this hometown that claims to be free but is not free.

The next day, Kubrick and his assistant Drake, who came back with a new contract, also brought back a candidate for the leading role——Dustin Hoffman, who played the role in the movie in order to treat his wife's pain of losing a child. The adoptive father Henry who brought back the little robot girl for experiments, but finally decided to abandon the robot adopted daughter after his biological son woke up.

Speaking of which, Tom really looks a bit like this actor: in the movie "Rain Man" that Su Yun once watched, he played the autistic brother and Tom played the normal younger brother. Once again won an Oscar statuette.

It's very predestined to play father and son now, and brothers in a few years...

Of course, the current Hoffman is not the actor who scored twice later, but just a half-super rookie who won the Newcomer Award and Oscar nomination for the movie "The Graduate".

However, Su Yun has also watched the classic movie "The Graduate", and also likes the two songs "The Sound of Silence" and "Scarborough Fair" in it very much.Therefore, there is no other opinion on who the future collaborator is.

After returning Hoffman's photo to assistant Drake, Su Yun approached Kubrick to report her progress: "The casting of adoptive mother Jane Fonda has not been successfully negotiated yet..."

"Don't worry, she will come." Kubrick said with certainty.

Facing Su Yun's puzzled gaze, Kubrick explained: "Her husband Hayden is preparing for an event recently, but he is too idealistic and can't make much money for the event. expenses."

"Then, if you want to continue, Jane Fonda has to come back to work..."

Probably the title of God is not for nothing. That night, Su Yun received a call from Jane Fonda.

On the phone, she expressed sincerely that she needed a job, and she could even reduce her salary a little...

"Does your husband agree with you to come out to work?" Su Yun couldn't help asking.

"Of course I agree. He is actually a very easy-going person, and he loves me very much. Although he doesn't like it, he respects my work and ideas..." It is not difficult to reveal her admiration and love for her husband in her speech. Yun almost got goosebumps all over her body.

After notifying Jane Fonda of the address here and asking her to come to audition tomorrow, Su Yun received another call from Tom.

"Because of Seth's support and funding, you convinced your mother, right? That's great!" Hearing that Tom said happily that he could come to participate in the re-election, Su Yun was very happy from the bottom of her heart.

Well, everyone is here, and the film has yet to be finished smoothly and quickly!

However, it turned out that she was thinking too much.

She honed her young acting skills when she was making her debut film in Xiangjiang, thanks to the blessing of cutout special effects and age advantage, as well as the low requirements of commercial films, she was fooled by it.

Now it has fallen into the hands of Kubrick, who is known as the tyrant on the set. Even though her acting skills have actually been trained in the small black room, she has improved a few steps compared to when she was filming "A Couple Born". At the level of a talented and hard-working actor and actress, it's not just that there are some things that are not enough.

Because it appeared so "stunning" at the beginning, even Kubrick didn't think of it at first.

Sure enough, people are more popular than others, and they have to be thrown away when they compare goods.

In the whole set, the best performer was Jane Fonda, who was the most cost-effective, but the one who had the most scenes with Jane Fonda was Su Yun, who was all set off.

"Again."

"Again."

"Again."

The God who once favored her basically wouldn't say anything, and wouldn't directly point out what he didn't think was right, just like burning money to make Su Yun do it again countless times.

Su Yun: So love will disappear, right #流泪猫猫头

Tom, who is more hip than her, is overly energetic because of his excessive admiration for Kubrick and love of acting, but he is not as broken as Su Yun.

"Are you okay?" During a rare break between filming, Tom sat next to her and asked with concern.

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired..." Su Yun replied weakly, "I feel like after this time, I'm going to become a robot that can't cry or laugh..."

Tom blinked and patted the chair with a flash of inspiration: "I'll tell you a joke, so you can relax!"

"Come on." Su Yun finally became interested, and sat up straight: I really want to see what kind of jokes in the 70s are like.

"Once upon a time, there was a person... ha ha ha ha, who went out in the morning... ah ha ha ha ha ha, that's so funny..." Tom didn't say a few words, but he laughed first.

How did someone like him survive until now when he told jokes to others and ended up laughing so hard that he couldn't continue? !

"If you have a low laugh, don't force yourself, okay?" Seeing that he was about to laugh, Su Yun couldn't help but tactically leaned back a little.

"No, hahahaha..." Tom managed to stop his smile, but he felt aggrieved when he saw Su Yun keeping away from him warily.

"I still have a unique skill - to imitate Donald Duck's sneezing!" Knowing that he had been fooled and embarrassed just now, Tom was very careful not to wait for Su Yun's reaction, and pinched his neck neatly a few times, It made a rattling sneeze just like the cartoon Donald Duck sneeze.

"Look, I didn't lie to you, Ann, Cassie, and Marion all said they look alike!" This time, Tom immediately put on a little smug expression of "I'm good", " What do you want to express to me with this look?"

Su Yun: Caring for the mentally handicapped eyes.
