v2 Chapter 891： Ready to move

It’s not just Simon Peggy and Daniel Craig, Michael Fassbender and Hugo Weiwen who also want to make cameo appearances in the film. The role is not important. The important thing is to make them star wars fans truly Participate in this film. Apex novel,

Let alone these Hollywood movie stars, even some members of Congress have sent letters to Lucasfilm, hoping that they can also participate in the filming, even if they are just masked stormtroopers.

As long as it does not affect the shooting, Duke will not let go of such a good opportunity to sell favors.

Although the various work of the crew has been kept strictly confidential, with the beginning of large-scale auditions, some related news will inevitably spread out and become the focus of entertainment media reports. This is also beneficial, even if it is confidential. "Star Wars 7", which has a strategy to spur the interest of global Star Wars fans, also needs to be promoted.

The producer Lucasfilm and the distributor Warner Bros. have also worked out detailed publicity strategies with the media they cooperated with.

"In real time sharing news, "Star Wars 7", which has been scheduled to start shooting in April this year, is currently stepping up the casting. At present, people familiar with the matter have revealed that in the story of "New Star Wars", Luke Skywalker’s son, Princess Leia and Han Solo’s daughter will be the protagonist. Earlier, it was rumored that based on the background of the current teenage movie boom, director Duke Rosenberg and his team wanted to make "Star Wars 7" take the youthful route. The Jedi version will become the heroine. It seems that this news will come true."

"Currently, many actresses are already auditioning. It is rumored that one of them has read the script. She is the British girl Rachel Harwood who has appeared in "Perfume", "American Strange Story", "Peter Pan" and other films. As for the actor, the handsome British boy Alex Pattyfer is most likely to win. He has appeared in "Wild Child", "Key No. 4", "Beast Boy" and other films. Both of them are born in the 90s. Their common feature is that they are members of the Foreign Trade Association. They are young idols who have outstanding acting skills among actors of the same age."

"According to the news yesterday by George Lucas, Captain Han Solo, Harrison Ford, Luke Skywalker Mark Hamill and Princess Leia Kelly Fisher have also signed contracts. Agree to return, but he has no right to call the shots for the three specific roles, depending on director Duke Rosenberg’s ideas."

"The "Star Wars 7" script was written by Duke Rosenberg himself. "Star Wars 2: The Empire Strikes Back" and "Star Wars 3: Return of the Jedi" screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan and "Detective Sherlock Holmes" Screenwriter Simon Kimberg acted as a script consultant. In terms of the soundtrack. John Williams, the composer of the first six "Star Wars", has confirmed his return. In addition, Duke Rosenberg also put his queen photographer John? Schwarzman joined the Star Wars team and used imax technology to film and produce "Star Wars VII."

"After Duke Rosenberg purchased Lucasfilm, he obviously had to make good use of its resources. In addition to the first "Star Wars 7", "Star Wars 8" and "Star Wars 9" have also been In preparation, and plans to release one every two years. In addition, Lucasfilm also plans to make a separate Star Wars extra-series film, which will be released in the middle of the '7-8-9 trilogy'. Meaning. Lucasfilm will release a movie related to "Star Wars" every year."

Since the announcement of "Star Wars 7", there has been little "conclusive" and "definite" official news. Both the media and the fans are tortured by endless rumors and casting possibilities.

The appearance of this news report attracted the attention of countless people in an instant, but it also caused dissatisfaction among some old star wars fans. With such a high frequency of Star Wars movies, the commercial flavor of them is self-evident. These people They are all worried that Duke's excessive commercialization will ruin this series.

But Duke invested more than four billion dollars in the acquisition of Lucasfilm. It is natural for commercial capital to chase profits, and it is impossible for him to get after the Star Wars series. It is simply impossible to just sit back and watch this treasure house slowly recover the cost of inputs.

The dollar is constantly depreciating, and the time cost is also part of the cost.

As for whether or not to squeeze the potential of the Star Wars series too much, Duke is not worried, as long as the film guarantees a certain quality, these are not problems. The several "Star Wars" he set and filmed, no matter how bad they are, the "Clone Wars" will not be worse.

Duke did not pay attention to these voices at all, and just prepared for this "Star Wars 7".

He first met Harrison Ford, after a difficult negotiation as the media reported. Harrison Ford finally signed his name on the actor contract of "Star Wars 7". Lucasfilm paid 20 million US dollars for this. The only thing that can comfort Duke is that the 20 million US dollars In the face of huge pay, Harrison Ford and his agent finally compromised, and the contract signed between the two parties did not involve any sharing.

Paying $20 million in salary to hire an actor is a rare thing in Duke's films. Only three people have ever received this salary from his films in the past-Tom Cruise, Charlize Theron and Leonardo DiCaprio.

People are always biased. The relationship between the latter three and Duke is not a simple business cooperation. Tom Cruise is his partner and his daughter is his goddaughter; Charlize Theron and Leonardo Di Caprio is one of the few friends in his circle; Harrison Ford has little to do with him in the past.

Lucasfilm is going to film more than a "Star Wars 7", if Han Solo continues to exist, Duke will definitely pay more in the future, this is neither he nor Lucasfilm want to watch So Duke fine-tuned the existing script.

And the result of this adjustment is to directly kill Han Solo...

There may be fans complaining or even cursing after the film is released, but in the face of commercial interests, these are not matters.

Besides, the whole story of Star Wars is the history of grievances and hatreds of the Skywalker family. It is normal for Han Solo to be killed by his own son and descendants of Skywalker.

The members of the Skywalker family can't stand the temptation of the dark side of the Force and cast into the dark side; on the other hand, the members of the Skywalker family represent the bright side of the Force to save the galaxy. This is actually an overview of Star Wars.

Having said that, the Force can be regarded as a generous gift from Anakin Skywalker to the offspring.

According to Duke’s understanding of Eastern thinking, the Force is very mysterious, not easy to say. According to the packaging of Pablo Hidalgo, the "living encyclopedia" recognized by Star Wars fans, the Force is described as a kind of only life. There are energy fields, all beings are all, and all beings are equal. The person who bears the force is not necessarily a Jedi.

There are many rules for Jedi Knights. In the past, when setting up accounts, they paid attention to the form: the elders must inspect the goods, and the apprentices must be submissive.

This level is really sad. Anakin, the Tianzong wizard, is still rejected as "too old"; the Jedi is not behind, and the older young Luke is still taken back.

As we all know, the Force is divided into dark and light.

In today’s Hollywood game rules, bad guys can often determine the success or failure of a blockbuster, and the success and glory of the "Star Wars" series cannot avoid the Dark Knight, Darth Moore, Earl Dooku and Palpatine’s contribution to the epic of the galaxy. Contribution.

In addition to being unable to immortalize as a "Jedi Hero," the dark side of the Force looked more attractive than the bright side.

In Duke’s setting, "Star Wars 7" is darker than the "Star Wars" trilogy, and even surpasses "Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith", although the villain in the setting and news reports Luke’s son is completely different, but he is also a member of the Skywalker family. Duke also found him a pair of heroic parents.

Of course, there will still be two main villains, which is related to the setting of Star Wars on the Sith.

According to the "rule of two persons" set by the Sith Lord Darth Bain, apprentices can be exchanged at a lower price-for example, Darth Sidious has Darth Moore, Earl Dooku and Ah Nakin-but there can only be two teammates, so in addition to the villains of the Skywalker family, there must be a man behind the scenes.

As for the representative of the bright side of the Force in the film, she is naturally the heroine, and this is also the first true female Jedi master.

Just like Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, this female Jedi master also comes from a famous family. In the Star Wars movies, inheritance is a very important existence.

Various preparations are proceeding intensively and orderly. Compared with previous movies, Duke pays more attention to the casting of "Star Wars VII". He will never let the "Star Wars Prequel" trilogy be Haicheng? The tragedy of actors like Ristensen and Natalie Portman repeats itself.

Especially the male and female protagonists, only he has the right to decide the choice of actors for these two roles.

The media reported that Rachel Harwood was kicked out by Duke after her first audition. Her image and acting skills are not bad, but her height is a problem.

Duke’s ideal heroine candidate must be at least five feet seven inches tall, and not too thin and thin.

Those thin bamboo pole-like actresses starring in a powerful female Jedi warrior are not convincing in any way.

Since the title and characters of "Star Wars 7" are in the confidential stage, the audition leaflets issued by the crew in the media and the circle all use the code name.

For example, the heroes and heroines to be selected are code-named "rachel" and "thomas", and they are all young people around 20 years old.

Although they all use pronouns, Hollywood has a mature agency system. It is not difficult for these actors and agents to find out that this is the hero and heroine of "Star Wars 7". They also know very well what such a role can bring.

Due to the natural limitation of roles, actresses from the five English-speaking countries of the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are undoubtedly the most advantageous, and actresses from these places are also ready to move. (To be continued.)
