Chapter 381

The balance between business and art is the ultimate goal that every director is pursuing, and it is also the balance that every production company is looking for“ Batman: The Dark Knight seems to be the most perfect answer in the 21st century. Is there any hope that the girl with dragon tattoo will become the next one?

Rumor has it that Sony Columbia Pictures has made a big budget of $100 million. This is not expensive for commercial films that emphasize visual effects; But for a movie like "the girl with Dragon Tattoo", which hardly needs visual effects, it is the top of the top, even compared with the most expensive commercial movie.

From here we can see the ambition of Sony Columbia Pictures. They're not just looking forward to the Swedish version's $83 million global box office.

As a director, David finch has proved that his directing ability is beyond doubt, whether it is the fight club in his early years, the seven sins, or the cometary social network in this year's award season. This also makes people have more expectations for the American version.

It's no exaggeration to say that the focus of "the girl with Dragon Tattoo" is to explode any popcorn commercial movie. If the degree of attention is calculated by ten out of ten points, the casting of "Thor" a year ago can be regarded as eight points, but now the "girl with Dragon Tattoo" is definitely 12 points - 12 points of Pop Watch.

Because, this is not only a commercial film, but also an art film that can make a difference in the award season.

Perhaps, this work will achieve a miracle like "Titanic" or "the Lord of the rings"; What's more, the two characters of "the girl with Dragon Tattoo" have a lot of performance space. The Swedish version of the heroine has won a lot of awards, and David's "social network" has also made Jesse a short list for the Oscar.

It's hard to measure the appeal of this to actors. Naturally, everyone is in a rush.

Just from the information Andy has received so far, Carey Mulligan, Ellen Page, Kristen Stewart, Mia wasikowska, Keira Knightley, Emily browning, Eva Green, Scarlett Johnson Emma Watson and Natalie Portman are both competing for the leading role.

This is just a message that Andy received when he inquired about it. As for those who didn't, there is a long list.

It can be seen that in the past three years, almost all the famous actresses in Hollywood have participated in the competition, which is absolutely eye-catching. The level of fierce competition almost makes people tumbling.

As for those actresses who didn't make a name for themselves, they probably couldn't even hear about the casting, let alone the competition.

This is the game between top brokers and top brokers; However, at such a level of competition, although contacts still work, they are still in the second place. The strength of the actors and the director's conception of CASS are the most important. After all, no one wants to screw up such an important project.

In contrast, the competition among the leading actors is a little worse. In the final analysis, not every actor is willing to be a green leaf, especially the top actors.

However, the waiting list of actors listed by Sony Columbia Pictures is still frightening.

Johnny Depp, Viggo Mortensen, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Daniel Day Lewis... Just these names are enough to trigger an earthquake in Hollywood. Absolute top configuration, whether it's popularity or appeal, or industry status, this series of waiting lists have enough weight, You can clearly see the ambition of Sony Columbia Pictures.

It is worth mentioning that Langley's name is also on the waiting list.

The inside message Andy heard was, "he's too young to fit in. However, he is really an interesting candidate. Let's put him on the waiting list. Let's contact the front name first This is a comment made by Sony Columbia Pictures at its internal meeting.

This is not a good affirmation, and even makes people have the impulse to roll their eyes - the substitutes in the substitutes are just written on the list. For some of the top actors, it's an insult.

But Andy is happy.

In fact, Hollywood's casting list is very particular. When they choose actors for new works, they will make a long list, ranging from seven or eight to thirty or forty. Then they will delete them one by one, leaving potential candidates. They will contact them one by one according to the priority. If the negotiation goes smoothly in the first choice, it will be no better; But they missed it, and they had plenty of backup.

This cast selection list is also the vane of Hollywood. There are many decisive factors, including the public relations ability of the agent, the past performance of the actor, the personal relationship between the actor and the producer, the style of the type of actor, and so on.

For example, when people think of playing the real civilian hero in life, Tom Hanks is always the first on the list; For another example, when people think of playing Gothic weird characters, Johnny Depp always has a choice.

For "the girl with Dragon Tattoo", a work whose attention index reaches 12 degrees, lanli can be included in the waiting list, which itself shows that lanli's status in the industry has been greatly improved.

More importantly, Langley is only 21 years old, while Mikel is 43 years old, but Sony Columbia Pictures still put Langley on the list - even if it doesn't work, it still shows that Langley's acting skills have gradually been recognized by the industry.

Compared with the "Dragon Tattoo Girl" itself, the news that lanli is shortlisted is the real reason why Andy is excited. In the past six months, lanli's career has finally ushered in a breakthrough. After that, Langley's name will appear more and more frequently in the waiting list of producers and major projects, and there will be more and more choices.

Of course, if Langley can play the role of "the girl with Dragon Tattoo", Andy would be very happy.

"Now almost all the actresses of the right age are aiming at the role. So, if you can play smoothly, does that mean that you will enjoy some sex next. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "

Andy banter half jokingly, let lanli think of the direction of the last life, the final heroine is Rooney Marla.

Now when you think about it, it's really hard for Langley to connect the little white rabbit he met with with with the piercing and tattooed goddess of darkness in the Dragon tattooed girl. To be precise, the difference is really too big.

The original Lomi is more appropriate in temperament, but due to the inherent limitations of the shape, the challenge difficulty has doubled. However, Rooney's cool temperament and changeable style have left a deep impression on people, which not only does not violate the rules, but also successfully supports the weight of the film, thus opening the way of drama and Hollywood.

In the face of Andy's ridicule, Lan Li is not flustered, just eyebrows gently raised, nodded with a smile, "I'm looking forward to it, too."

Such a frank answer, on the contrary, makes the joke break. There is no way to go on. Andy glances at Lan Li speechlessly and can only go back to work.

"The competition for casting is really fierce now. I think the age disadvantage is also a barrier that is hard to break. However, if you are interested, I can try to have a look and make an appointment for at least one interview to exchange views." Andy shrugged with a smile. "If it's David Finch, it would be great."

Lan Li seriously thought about it, then nodded in affirmation, "OK."

Crisp, positive, and this response makes Andy smile.

"Dragon Tattoo Girl" is really very difficult, even if the efforts, it is estimated that there is little hope; But the point is that the communication between Andy and Langley is smooth, and his choice is recognized by Langley, which means that his direction is right, which is a good thing.

As for the "Dragon Tattoo Girl", this is Hollywood, where miracles are born. Before the results come out, everything is unknown. No one should decide to give up before trying, and he won't.

"By the way, can I rent the Swedish version? I want to see it. " Langley's impression of Mikel's character is so vague that there are only some general outlines left, which is really interesting.

Whether he can play or not, at least he can study it carefully first.

Andy nodded. "No problem. I'll tell Nathan." He looked down at his watch. It was only 30 minutes before and after. The efficiency of communication was very satisfactory. "If you plan to go skiing in Canada, just tell Nathan."

"Dragon Tattoo Girl" will not be updated in the near future, and lanli's holiday can continue.

After the talk, Andy got up and left.

At this time, Lan Li was fully awake. Instead of going back to bed, he changed his clothes, picked up the skateboard and left the apartment.

When you come outside, the thick snow on the street is covered with a layer of black coal. The wet snow makes the road look pitted. The steam from the sewer sprays from time to time. The fog is filled between the retro buildings in New York. It seems that you have entered the magic world of "Harry Potter" through time and space. It is dirty, chaotic, classical and elegant, But it is still the foggy city of the steam engine era.

Just standing on the street for a short time, the cold wind tried to get into his neck. Lanli threw the skateboard on the ground, his right foot glared, and the wheel slid over a shallow pool of water, splashing low water droplets, as if he was surfing instead of skateboarding. It was really strange.

In the cold wind, the plaid scarves of dark red and navy blue, hunting, walking through the cold and solemn streets, outline a touch of light warmth, as if you can see a teenager, chasing the footsteps of the wind.
