Chapter 2469

Recently, the public news has been calm, and the news of the New York Film Festival has occupied the main attention; Among senior agents, there are ups and downs, hidden under the surface of the undercurrent, let people smell the "rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings" shaking chaos, the atmosphere is very different.

The whole thing involves three works of three companies: the "focus" of Warner Brothers, the "beauty and beast" of Disney, and the "love city" of Sisyphus pictures.

There is no need to introduce the relationship among the three companies in depth. Obviously, they are all connected with each other because of blue rite, but there is a competitive relationship.

As for the three works, all of them have a bright future.

Warner Bros.'s "focus" is directed and written by a pair of partners, Glenn ficara and John Requa. They wrote and directed "I love you morris" and "crazy stupid love" two comedies, which were highly praised. Later, the widely acclaimed American drama "our day" also came from them, Their talents and abilities have been affirmed, which makes Warner Brothers give the green light for the "focus" project.

The investment cost of the whole project is about 50 million US dollars.

Disney's "beauty and beast" continues the route of "Cinderella" from animation adaptation to live action film. This is another move of Disney after marvel, Pixar and Lucas. The director selected "dream girl" and "dream girl" to explore the copyright treasure in his hands, hoping to form a new territory for the development of the film industry "Twilight: Dawn" is Bill Condon, who is also a screenwriter for "Chicago.".

The investment cost of the whole project is about 160 million US dollars.

Finally, Sisyphus film's "city of love".

In terms of the budget cost, 30 million US dollars is basically a small fight, but the names of Langley and Damien make the project full of infinite possibilities.

However, it seems that the three independent works are not related or even competitive, but how are they intertwined?

The thing is, it's like this.

Glen ficala and John Requa, the "focus" of the first project, hope that Ryan Gosling and Emma stone can play. Their previous experience of "crazy, stupid, love" cooperation has made them praise the two actors and look forward to continuing their cooperation. Ryan and Emma are also very happy to join.

However, "beauty and the beast" and "the city of love" both invite Ryan gosling. At the same time, "focus" spreads rumors of contacting Kristen Stewart, because Warner Brothers producers think Emma lacks charm and does not fit the role, which makes Ryan negotiate. He still hopes to cooperate with Emma again, but he did not expect that, On the surface, the crew nodded and agreed, but turned around and began to approach will smith.

As a result, the negotiations between Ryan and Emma with the "focus" project collapsed, and the crew officially announced the two actors' exit without hesitation.

So Ryan and Emma are both out.

However, the "focus" still failed to find the actors. After Will Smith nodded his head to play, Christine expressed concern that the age gap between the two partners might be too big, because they were 22 years apart. Then Christine turned away.

The "focus" crew began to talk with Will Smith and Ben Affleck respectively, and finally decided will; But the heroine aspect is difficult to give birth, including Michelle Williams, Jessica bell, rose Bain and so on actors all participated in the audition, but still can not be determined.

Later, the cast auditioned for Margot Robbie. When she received the audition notice, Margot was on holiday with her family on an island in Croatia. On the same day, she flew from Paris to New York and arrived at the audition site on time. However, when she arrived at the audition site, Will Smith was late.

"Will is coming from Queens."

After make complaints about the situation, Marshall was not able to reply to his vomit. "I came running from a small island in Croatia, and I was not late."

Margot got the part - and she was actually three months younger than Kristen Stewart.

At the same time, the "focus" group also caused controversy. Comedian Artie Lang refused to play, and publicly criticized Will Smith and the racial discrimination of the screenplay on twitter. He was invited to play a "500 pound Persian" named "fat Farhad".

Two other actors later turned down the role because they were asked to gain "300 pounds.".

The crew declined to respond.

On the other hand, the cast selection of "beauty and beast" and "city of love" was also carried out in an orderly manner.

"Beauty and the beast" chose Ryan Gosling as the hero.

"The city of love" chose Emma Watson as the heroine.

As a result, both actors turned down the project invitation and chose another one.

Emma Watson chose beauty and the beast.

Ryan Gosling chose "the city of love".

The two works exchange the protagonists - though not the same role, they do complete the transfer, and then their respective partners are determined.

In beauty and the beast, Dan Stevens takes over the role of Ryan gosling.

Emma stone takes over the role of Emma Watson.

Among them, according to the internal rumors of the senior agent, a small funny thing happened. Ryan Gosling chose "Elk City" because of the invitation of Langley. Otherwise, his original schedule had already determined the "focus"; After Ryan joined the "city of love" crew, he recommended Emma stone to Damien, and Langley also expressed his reconsideration, which made Emma stone beat the other five competitors and get the role successfully.

In addition, the leading actor of "beauty and the beast" was originally Randy hall, not Ryan Gosling or Dan Stevens, but the core role of the film is the heroine bell. It seems that Randy is overqualified to play the role of the Beast - because the real face of the beast can't be seen in the film 80% of the time; What's more, after Emma Watson decided to play bell, she showed her rejection of Langley's role as the beast, so Disney accepted her opinion, which happened later.

Of course, rumors are just rumors, not to mention that it's just wishful thinking of some producers to let lanli play the beast. Let alone Emma Watson's attitude, persuading lanli is the biggest obstacle to the whole plan, and the authenticity of these rumors is greatly reduced. It's just gossip after dinner. It's up to you to judge the credibility.

The point is not the rumor, but the tension behind it.

Around the corner, the three works of the three companies are intertwined, which makes people feel unusual.

Objectively speaking, the flow and transfer of actors among Hollywood's many projects is really normal. It's nothing to be surprised about; On the other hand, there are countless actors in Hollywood, but in a short period of time, the candidates for the three projects are entangled. If this is a coincidence, then it is also a coincidence.

What's more, the relationship among Warner Brothers, Disney and Sisyphus pictures is full of countless ties.

For now, people still can't get a glimpse of the truth, can't make clear what the flow of actors means, and can't predict the prospects of the three works and what impact they will have. But it's certain that the decision-making ideas behind the three companies are changing.

Between the turbulent undercurrent, rain is about to come, the turbulence of wind filled the building is quietly spread out, all kinds of speculation and speculation has never stopped.

However, the cast of at least three works have been determined, among which "focus" and "beauty and beast" are put into shooting early, and the preliminary rehearsal work of "Elk City" has also started, so the rumors of all kinds of disturbances have come to an end for the time being.

Finally, we return to the city of love.

The expected "Langley vs. Ryan" will not be staged. Ryan Gosling will replace Langley as the leading actor, and it's a surprise that Langley invited him personally. It's certain that Damien won't like the result, so why did Langley quit?

Although he won't play in the city of love, he still works as a producer and works with Justin Hurwitz to create original soundtracks for the film; At the same time, in addition to the two stars, Langley also recommended another good friend to play John Legend.

Lanli and John are not very intimate friends, but they met very happily and resonated with each other. After receiving lanli's call, John hesitated for a moment and then nodded his head and agreed——

This is not the first time he has appeared in a movie. Before that, he promised to be invited by his friends and made guest appearances in several movies. However, the role of "city of love" is different and important. John will also take on more parts, which still worries him. However, at lanli's invitation, he agreed.

John Legend will not only play in "the city of love music", but also cooperate with Langley and Justin to complete the original music production of the film. In addition, he will be on the stage of Pioneer Village Music Festival as a special guest.

"I have to stress that I was the awarding guest when Lanley received the annual album on the stage of the Grammy Awards ceremony. At that time, I witnessed that classic moment beside the stage, and I still can't forget it. I'm looking forward to working with Langley very much. It's undoubtedly my honor. "

In an interview with "American weekly", John said that for the performance of "city of love", the half expectation and half nervousness make him have to be energetic and go all out, "I hope I don't break the sign of Langley, at least don't appear too abrupt and strange in the film."

In this way, the "city of love" has been completely determined, and the rehearsal work has officially started. Sisyphus is still running at high speed.

For Hollywood, the rise of Sisyphus film is inevitable, and what's more important is, how should they treat this rival, DreamWorks? Lion Gate? Or is it one of the thousands of independent film companies? Otherwise, there are other possibilities?
