Chapter 675

Langley looked at Paul in front of him with a trace of consternation. Is this the reincarnation of history?

In the last life, Paul did not participate in the creation of this work in any form; But in this life, after going around, Paul still put forward the name of "tomorrow's edge", and the film finally returned to the origin. Is it a coincidence or fate? Or... Butterfly effect?

"What's the matter? Don't you like it? " Paul noticed Langley's surprise. He didn't think much about it. He held his chin and chewed it seriously. "It's true that this name is a bit of literature and art. It's not as simple as a commercial movie. It doesn't seem to have much potential to sell. However, I think the name is quite suitable for what we have just discussed. You don't like it? "

"Ha ha." Lan Li chuckled and shook his head. "No, I didn't mean that. I'm just thinking. Why don't you ask for your opinions? "“ Is the name "tomorrow's edge" one of the reasons for the box office failure of the last movie? Lanli is not a market researcher. Naturally, it's impossible to know whether he will continue to use it in this life. Lanli decides to give it to fate. "Guys, 'tomorrow's edge'," what do you think? Paul thought of it

Everyone was silent and chewed up the name.

Lucinda nodded. "I think it's pretty good. At least, I'll walk into the cinema out of curiosity. The name sounds like Nolan. "

Derek raised his right hand high. "I like it!" Then he looked excitedly at Billy. "What do you think? The name is very consistent with the subject we just discussed. "

Billy shrugged. "It's not something I'm good at. But it's not bad. "

In the end, all eyes were on Tim. Tim didn't respond, but kept repeating, "tomorrow's edge. Tomorrow's edge. The edge of tomorrow. "

The appearance of no one else and murmuring to himself really made people laugh. Paul leaned over his head and said, "if you say such a line in the west end performance, you will definitely be kicked off the stage, right?" The corners of Langley's mouth rose because of Paul's words.

As soon as he looked up, he saw that he had become the focus of the crowd. He blinked. So Lucinda reminded him, and Tim nodded, "I think this name is very good. It's science fiction, and it's our theme. That's it! "

Finally, all eyes turned to Lan Li. At this moment, lanli felt the reality of the name "executive producer".

"Then it's up to Frank Marshall." Lanli's answer is unexpected but reasonable. The whole topic starts because of frank, and naturally returns to frank in the end. What's more, everyone here is focused on the production of the film and knows little about commercial and market considerations. In the final analysis, it's up to Frank to make the film.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Lucinda cut in at the right time. "So, the discussion of the script comes to a paragraph for the time being. I know that you need to continue to discuss in order to re create, but I need a little time." Lucinda's style immediately became simple and direct. Derek and Tim wanted to cut in, but Lucinda's words didn't stop at all. She just stopped with her eyes, and then went on saying, "at present, each character has had two rounds of auditions. I've selected some waiting lists. You can put forward some opinions. I'll audition again according to my opinions."

While saying that, Lucinda took out her laptop from the side, "every actor has three videos, one is their own interview video, and the first and second round videos. If you are interested, click to have a look and give me some opinions."

Billy immediately waved impatiently. "It's not my job." Then he lowered his head and began to write and draw in his notebook. Derek, sitting next to him, was curious, but Billy didn't give him a chance. He bumped Derek with his shoulder and said, "come back, what we just said, put together an outline..."

Derek drooped his head in dismay, but only for a moment, and then he regained his spirits and began to work.

Paul took the laptop and, under Lucinda's instructions, found the folder; Tim gets up and walks up behind Paul, and the two start browsing through the names of the folders, which are the names of the actors.

Lucinda looked up and saw the motionless Langley. "Aren't you going to give me some advice?"

"Not long ago, I was the one to judge. Now I'm judging others. It's a bit strange," he replied with a smile Executive producer, now lanli has a sense of reality, but there are still many places to adapt when it comes to real implementation. Every link of film production is absolutely not so simple.

"It's up to Paul to decide." If it's Tom Cruise, then he needs to check every actor and build Cass lineup with him as the core. But for Langley, the whole film is more important. Take Paul's opinion as the core, select actors and make sure that each actor's style can serve the film. However, Lan Li can still make some comments, "besides the video, is there a list?"

"Yes." Lucinda looks at Lan Li in confusion and doesn't quite understand the meaning of Lan Li's move.

There are thousands of actors in Hollywood. It's almost impossible to match the actors and faces just by name. As a casting director, Lucinda has gone through three rounds of selection before and after, and now the actors on the list have a relatively deep impression; But lanli had never seen the audition video and asked for the list without thinking. What's the use of this? Do you play the game of ordering soldiers and generals?

Nevertheless, Lucinda didn't ask too much. She took out a list from the briefcase and handed it to Lan Li. This list is what she is going to record her opinions, to see if the director, screenwriter or producer has any special actors or special requirements.

Blue Li took over, seems to be aware of Lucinda's doubts, but did not explain, but asked, "how, come to audition actors?"

"Not much. But there are still Lucinda is also a sincere person, to tell the truth.

It is not easy for the cast to attract more excellent actors without a famous actor or director. However, Hollywood has Actors looking for jobs every day, so any cast can find actors for audition, even if it is an independent small cast like "buried alive".

Blue ceremony eyebrow tail one Yang, "Hu, relieved a breath.". I thought the curse of the media was in effect. " It made Lucinda smile.

The first part of the list is the alternate heroine.

The heroine of tomorrow's edge is Rita wallatasky. This is a female warrior. After the alien invades the earth, she has occupied the whole European continent, and is still spreading further. In the battle of Verdun, Rita was born, defeated the alien, and won the first victory against the alien. As a result, she was known as "the angel of Verdun" and became a national hero.

In fact, Rita is just like cage. They all have the ability of reincarnation of time and space unexpectedly, which is also the reason why Rita won the battle of Verdun. Unfortunately, Rita lost this ability later. Now it's cage's turn. Rita hopes cage can copy her original miracle and lead mankind to victory.

Corresponding to cage, Rita is also a deep character. She witnessed her lover die a hundred times, but she couldn't help it; She experienced the torment of infinite killing and rebirth; More than anyone else, she longed to defeat the aliens, just for revenge - because she no longer had any relatives.

Compared with cage's growth and development, the other characters in the story are relatively fixed, because they are in constant cycles on the same day, and Rita is no exception. So the spark between Rita and cage is up to the actors.

First of all, they have the friendship of fighting side by side. Rita can feel the vicissitudes of cage's eyes. Although she doesn't know what cage was like "one day ago" and what impact this repeated "one day" has on cage, because every time she restarts, her memory will return to zero, but they feel the same way, The fetters of Rita and cage also deepen.

Secondly, people can complain that the love between two people is the common fault of Hollywood routine template. The hero and heroine must have a spark of love, but in this work, the entanglement and interweaving of two people's fates actually create a spark of mutual love in different time and space.

In the end, Rita is not a vase. She is a soldier who has been reborn from the ashes. She is hard-blooded and tough, but she is fragile and sad in her heart.

This is also the most special part of the movie compared with the last life. Cage and Rita are typical action movie characters. From the beginning to the end, the pleasure brought by the action scenes is the main point; But the two characters bear their own connotation and depth, which fit the theme of reincarnation of the film and tell the meaning of war, life and time.

Therefore, the role requirements must be an excellent action actor, but also an excellent opera actor. There are not many such actors in Hollywood.

And what we can't forget is, lenley. As an actor, lanli meets two requirements at the same time, which is undoubtedly lucky; But the problem is that he is only 21 years old. Even if men can grow beards and increase their visual age, the choice of actresses is still limited to under 30 years old. Otherwise, the chemical reaction between the two protagonists is not convincing, so the so-called love line can only be bullshit. This is bad news for ambitious members of the cast, It's definitely bad news.

In this way, the options that were already limited are more valuable now.

In the last life, Emily Bronte accomplished the task excellently; This life, the script is likely to go further, so who can undertake such a heavy task?
