After finishing the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Love Actually" at the beginning of the year, Evan Bell has devoted himself to other busy work. Even if there is a single "Top" in music, but with little publicity, Evan Bell almost All the energy is spent on Broadway. Now Evan Bell is going to start his movie journey again, because "Crash" is about to start shooting.

After seeing Richard Wendy and Mueller Lance at school, Evan Bell left Cambridge the next day and returned to Broadway in Manhattan. The final performance of "Nine" ended on June 30. This play, which won three major awards at the Tony Awards, has become the first-choice play for the new influx of Broadway audiences.

From New York to Los Angeles, Evan Bell is already very familiar. The grand applause at the Broadway Theatre last night is still in my ears, today everything is over, and blindly immersing in the past glory will only make people rest on their laurels. Only when you hold your head high, focus your eyes on the distant future, restart your pace, and start a new journey, can you enjoy the scenery of the journey.

Although the media is still exaggerating the brilliant achievements of Evan Bell this year's awards season, from the Grammys to the Oscars to the Tony Awards, Evan Bell has indeed created a glorious "past". But for Evan Bell, the Grammys are just one stop on the journey. If subsequent albums can't surpass "Two", then the impression of his singer will stop here forever; the Tony Award is a tribute to his ten years of Broadway A career award is also a gift for the current Evan Bell, but if there is an invitation for another show on Broadway in the future, Evan Bell will definitely agree to it without hesitation; as for Oscar. He didn't even attend the Oscars!

So, leaving behind the glory of the past six months of 2003, with Los Angeles as a new starting point and "Crash" as a new platform, Evan Bell has embarked on a new journey.

This time. Paul Haggis arranged for the "Crash" story to take place in Los Angeles, and the filming location also chose Los Angeles. Not only because Paul Haggis has lived in Los Angeles for many years, but also because of the unique point of the city of Los Angeles. Multi-ethnic cultures and multi-class cultures collide with each other in this city. New conflicts are being sparked almost all the time. To this day, racial issues still haunt the residents of this city: it's not that New York doesn't have these issues, it's just that Los Angeles is a city because of its special status. It's just getting clearer.

Paul Haggis chose Los Angeles. To reflect the conflicts between whites, blacks, Central Americans, Asians, Middle Eastern and other races in the world in "Crash", and to construct conflicts that erupted because of class and race.

When the filming of "Crash" began, it received endless media attention.

This is Evan Bell's second film as a producer. Like "Fatal Identity", Evan Bell once again chose an unknown screenwriter, and even further made Paul Haggis the director; At the same time, the strength of the cast is also similar to the characteristics of "Deadly Identity". Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon, Thandie Newton, Brandon Fisher, Don Cheadle... The cast list of this series is definitely better than the cast of "Deadly Identity" Nothing less than.

The media is keenly aware. Evan Bell's first film "Deadly Identity" was a group show, and the actors must integrate into the plot to set off the whole film, and the film will be outstanding; and this time. "Crash" is still a group show, in the list of the main actors that have been announced. There are already more than twenty actors.

Among them, Eleven Studio did not announce the starring list, which is even more exaggerated than "Fatal Identity". Although Evan Bell had not many roles in "Fatal Identity" at the beginning, he was still a key role, but this time, Eleven When the studio faced questions at the press conference, Paul Haggis clearly expressed the concept of the film: this is a group movie, there is no protagonist, only supporting roles with slightly more drama.

"Crash" is undoubtedly a work in which the whole is greater than the individual, and Evan Bell's love for the type of script is undoubtedly obvious. Evan Bell also admitted that he believes that a good movie must first be a good story, and then a good character.

However, some reporters proposed the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean". Although this movie has not been released yet, the role of Captain Jack Sparrow is undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention. In this regard, Evan Bell's answer was, "The movie itself is a good script, but it just happens that the male lead is too charming." This made the reporters at the scene rolled their eyes in unison: This explanation does not It's like there is no explanation.

Different from the deserted "Deadly Identity" at the time, this time the media poured countless enthusiasm into the filming of "Crash". According to Paul Haggis' description of the script, it is clear to the media that this is a film about race. But Paul Haggis said that he didn't want to tell stories with compassion or convey ideas in a long and didactic style. He just used his eyes to discover the stories around Los Angeles.

In this regard, the media expressed different views.

Some media believe that there are countless racial films, but few can truly become classics. After all, it is definitely not an easy task to make new ideas for this heavy and broad theme and make the audience buy it. "Movie Critic" expressed their concern that big themes are easy to make good movies, but equally, big themes often become the director's grave.

Some media believe that according to Paul Haggis, this is likely to become a boring and dull running account movie, and any "crash" can not impress the audience without the creativity of passion and spark. This view of "Premiering" has won many supporters, including influential media such as "Los Angeles Times" and "Washington Post".

Other media expressed concern that judging from Evan Bell's performance in the past year, especially his "advanced move" in refusing to attend the Oscars, this film is likely to become a black film full of criticism and satire. The "News of the World" waved its flag amid this view. They believed that if Evan Bell's decisiveness in the September 11 incident was carefully reviewed, Evan Bell may even develop into a sociopath in the future.

Of course, some media said they were very interested in Evan Bell's vision. You know, Evan Bell's current vision for selecting scripts has always been considered unique and always surprising. In this part of the media, the voice of "Entertainment Weekly" is particularly clear. William Wood was even considered by his peers to be a "dog tuǐ" to curry favor with Evan Bell, but he could not shake his and "Entertainment Weekly"'s support for Evan Bell. . Fortunately, the "New York Times" also sided with William Wood, which put a lot less pressure on Entertainment Weekly's shoulders.

From just a few words from Paul Haggis and the simple title of "Crash", it is really impossible to make more guesses. The media can only express predictions about the theme, as well as expectations for the powerful cast of actors. Of course, Evan Bell as a producer for the second time actually called so many excellent actors again, which is the most interesting part of the media. You must know that the appeal of "Deadly Identity" came more from James Mangold, and this time, many actors who joined "Crash" expressed their confidence in Evan Bell.

When Evan Bell arrived at Paul Haggis' Los Angeles home, he welcomed his first actor, Sandra Bullock.

For Sandra Bullock, in addition to the "weakness" that made her win the Oscar, Evan Bell also has films such as "Fake Marriage" and "Life and Death", but Evan Bell is the most impressed Deep but "murder by numbers," because through that movie, Ryan Gosling and Sandra Bullock dated for a long time.

Sandra Bullock is the first actor to respond to Evan Bell's call after reading the "Crash" script. Although her character is only three pages long, the film will never exceed eight. minutes, but Sandra Bullock voluntarily reduced her pay and chose to star in "Crash."

So, when Evan Bell learned that Sandra Bullock had bought a plane ticket to Los Angeles in order to save costs for the crew, Evan Bell felt in the relatively unfamiliar Sandra Bullock. When it comes to her passion as an actress, and her daring loyalty.

"Miss Bullock, please ask the crew to reimburse this money. I'm serious." Evan Bell held Sandra Bullock's hand and said sincerely. But soon, his ridicule followed, "If you let the media know that I asked you to come to film at your own expense, I guess they would have endless crusades against me outside."

Evan Bell's remarks fit in with the recent media coverage of the "crash", and of course the scandalous scandal between him and Natalie Bōterman - half a month later, it still hasn't subsided. This made Sandra Bullock laugh out loud. The actress, who is quite a silly big sister, immediately made people feel good, "Mr. Bell, it is my honor to be able to play such an excellent script. A plane ticket. , it's not a big problem. If you want to make amends, I don't mind if you invite me to dinner." After a pause, Sandra Bullock continued, "Of course, the so-called excellent script is my own. I have no control over what the media thinks.”

It made both Evan Bell and Paul Haggis laugh.

Not only Sandra Bullock, but Don Cheadle, Matt Dillon and other actors also arrived in Los Angeles on the same day. In Don Cheadle's words, "I can't wait to start work on such a good script. already."
