unofficial hollywood life

James Franco, who looks the most like James Dean, is gone. This guy is probably underage now. I don’t know if he has stepped into this circle, so don’t talk about those useless things.And according to director Gibson's "past" record, this gentleman is quite good at casting, he will always get the best one in his mind, from this point of view, Diana is very good at He is still quite confident.

Then she saw a few familiar faces outside the audition room.

In the second decade of the new century, there has been a saying in Hollywood, don't mess with Liam Neeson's daughter and Kino Reeves' dog, because these two tough people are because of their daughter and dog respectively Killing the whole family of criminal organizations can be regarded as a famous stalk in Hollywood.

Now the gentleman standing in front of Diana is the Englishman who will kill all over the world because of his daughter in the future. Oh, yes, this is the ancestor of the Black Duke Darth Vader and the first teacher of Batman. Zeus, the king of the Greek gods... Diana twitched her lips, feeling that Mr. Gibson really has vision. Where did he find such a magical person?

As for the man next to him who is talking to him, he is even more familiar. He is known as the sexiest 007 in history, Mr. Pierce Brosnan.Well, the title may be years away, and at least for now, he hasn't gotten his hands on a piece of the pie that only the British can get their hands on.

"Irish," Kevin whispered in Diana's ear as he walked into the audition room.

Let her understand the current situation.

Peter O'Toole was a great inspiration to Mel.Compared with the high remuneration of American actors, the British with solid acting skills and low prices are more useful.

"No way, who said that the British Screen Actors Union is not in line with the American Screen Actors Union?" said an actor born in Northern Ireland.

Because of this unlucky thing, when the British actors developed in the United States, their pay was directly suppressed by the Americans, and they were not as good as the Australians who had always been despised by them. At least their actors' union cooperated with the American actors' union , still has a great advantage in terms of salary.

"But no matter how little you earn in the United States, it's better than in the UK. At least in terms of taxes and basic salary, becoming an actor won't make me unable to afford an apartment." He vomited bitterness to Mel.

God knows how stingy the BBC is. After the remuneration of a TV series is deducted after taxes, they may not be able to pay their own rent and living expenses!

Irishman?Diana glanced at Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan thoughtfully, the Irish who developed in the UK really fit Mel Gibson's requirements.

Although she didn't attend the gathering of the Irish gang, Diana still has some understanding of the British entertainment industry. In summary, there are few opportunities, low salary and high tax, but anyone with some ability will want to develop outward. Isn't that how Hollywood's British tradition came about?

"Don't worry about their British identities. Basically, actors who have made a name for themselves in the UK will be registered with the Hollywood union, so that they can avoid opportunities not to be missed." Seeing Diana's fluctuating expression Ai Li thought she was worried that the actor union would fail, and explained to her in a low voice.

In Hollywood, films with an investment exceeding a certain amount need to register with the actors union to select actors. This is the norm, even for independent films.It's just that if you have money, everything can be done easily, and the things that are difficult for many young actors are not worth mentioning in the eyes of those powerful people.

Then again, the so-called independent films actually refer to films produced by film companies other than the major Hollywood studios.For example, "Cold Mountain" produced by Miramax, even with an investment of nearly [-] million yuan, is still an independent production.

It sounds strange, but this is the reality of the situation. In Hollywood, the biggest bosses are always those big companies that have distribution channels and MPAA rights. Other companies, as long as these old giants feel threatened , then unfortunately, acquiring you and becoming a subsidiary company is the best way out, otherwise, unless you can always grit your teeth and insist on not doing big productions or making money all the time, bankruptcy is the final choice.

This point has been fully proved by United Artists in the past, and the future Carlock Company is about to embark on this path. The famous independent production companies that once produced "Terminator 2" and "Basic Instinct" finally only It can become a subsidiary of MGM.The purpose is still the film library, and it really makes those who hear it cry.

There is also Miramax in the future. The Weinstein brothers who dominate the Oscars cannot have a smooth journey in business, so they sold the company to Disney, and then turned the world upside down with the other party's top management, and set up a new business. And then there is the final madness, and everyone knows what happened after that. Harvey Weinstein left his throne and struggle base in an extremely embarrassing way.

"Speaking of which, are you done with Mel?" Diana glanced at Ellie, and instead of saying that she was not worried about this problem, she asked another question.

The rules of Hollywood are not only for actors, but also for directors.If it’s just an underground film, of course there is no problem, but the director of a film that is released to the public must also be registered in the directors’ union. I didn’t see that George Lucas hadn’t been a director for more than ten years because of his falling out with the directors’ union. Yet?

Mel Gibson was an actor before, but now he is a director, and he is still a film director with a considerable amount of investment. If he doesn't get his directors' union registration, he will die if the film cannot be released in the future.

"Of course, I'm a professional." Avery was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood what Diana was referring to.

Hollywood has its own rules, but those rules also depend on who you are dealing with.

For Avery, a powerful agent, it couldn't be easier to get these messy things about registration done, and he can handle everything by himself without Mel himself being involved.

By the way, I was also wary of Diana's ability to quickly grasp the topic.It is not easy for a woman who can attract so much investment and write "Good Night, Hudson".

"That's good, let's get started." Diana smiled and said, putting things back on track.

Ireland or England, she doesn't care about these things. As a writer and producer, she only hopes that her works can be presented perfectly, without being changed beyond recognition.

As long as Mel Gibson can do this, it doesn't matter even if he finds a lunatic, not to mention the person he chooses is actually quite reliable.Both Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan are perfect for the role of Officer Robert.

However, the next moment she thought so, she was slapped in the face.

Mel Gibson, who walked in from the door, asked her directly, "What do you think of this combination?"

Diana, Diana was stunned, what do you mean by that?Isn't it what she thought, let these two play the leading role and the supporting role respectively?

In an instant, she looked at Mel with a strange look.

It's hard for us to stop fighting today and prepare to live in peace, so why don't you show me this?Where did you see that these two people are suitable to be a pair?Neither Neeson nor Brosnan has that kind of crazy energy, okay?

He is a gentleman, a gentleman, a gentleman!The important thing is to say three times, two people with such a positive temperament, do you see that they are like Werner's neuropathy because their eyes grow above their knees?

No matter how good the acting skills are, there is no way to make up for this kind of thing, right?

"...Not so good, I feel better if you say that both of you are here to interview Officer Robert." Regarding Mel, Diana has always said something, and she doesn't need to hide herself at all. mood.

I really can't hide it, how many fights did the two of them have in the script?Diana felt that she had a good temper, and she didn't throw a fist directly at Mel's face that deserved to be punched. Otherwise, before the filming of "Good Night, Hudson" started, it would be reported that the director and the producer did not get along. Scandal, by the way, can also change directors.

"That shows that you lack the courage to try. Both Neeson and Brosnan's acting skills are good. And the Worner you describe is also a very popular gentleman in normal times. He even buys it for his female colleagues. The coffee has a very good reputation." Mel didn't care about Diana's complaints at all, and said calmly.

All he had to say was that Warner Steinwith was a gentle scum in appearance, and his neurotic side was only shown in sex.

Diana: "..."

What the hell, tell me how gentle James Dean is?

But considering that she really did not explain that the prototype of this character looks very much like James Dean, she finally swallowed this sentence back and explained her philosophy in another way.

"Actually, when I created the character of Warner, the appearance was based on James Dean, a typical image of an American bad boy." She said with great regret.

Although it is a bit late to say this at this time, at least it can leave a little impression on Mr. Gibson's heart, and don't let him make the characters more crooked.

Mel: "..."

Ha ha.

Although he is not a gentleman, he is still a work partner who will work with him for a long time, so he will not ridicule the other party's aesthetics.

And James Dean, why didn't you say it was Montgomery Clift?Wouldn't that be more in line with your aesthetic?
