Ava Gardner is reading the script. If classified by movie, this movie should be regarded as a western chivalrous movie. The protagonist is a bounty hunter named Jon.
Seeing the name Jon, Ava pursed her lips and smiled. This is because Hardy used her own name.
She was taken aback when she saw the heroine's name, because the heroine was Marisa. Ava wondered, when writing the heroine, did Hardy think of her name.
The whole script has a very good story. After watching it, Hardy told her that Hardy wrote it himself. Before, Ava only thought Hardy was a rough man. I didn’t expect that he was so talented and could write. Write such a good script.
At this moment, Ava developed a strong sense of admiration for Hardy.
He is not an ordinary gang leader.
is a talented gang leader who understands art.
Thinking of this, Ava suddenly felt that the Red Dead Redemption in the script had a good personality and Hardy was really a bit like.
rough,
But there is a chivalrous heart.
If I didn't meet him at the beginning, maybe he still lives in the shadow of that devil agent, didn't it mean Hardy saved him in the end?
Just then the door was pushed open.
Hardy walked in with Director Nolan. Ava woke up from her thoughts and looked up at the two of them, "Ah, you're back."
said and stood up quickly.
Seeing someone around Hardy, Ava looked a little cautious.
Nolan looked at the woman in front of him, and the first thing he felt was amazing. This woman is very beautiful, even among the female stars in Hollywood, she is considered to be the top.
The figure is perfectly proportioned, the calf is slender, and the face is that kind of majestic beauty, bright with a sense of firmness.
No wonder Hardy is so careful.
If I had such a girlfriend, I would also be very careful.
"Ava, let me introduce you. This is Jonathan Nolan, the director of "Red Dead Redemption"."
"Hello, Mr. Director." Ava said hello gently.
"Hello Miss Gardner."
Hardy looked at Nolan, smiled and asked: "This is the heroine I found for you, what do you think?"
Nolan looked at Ava, did not speak but shook his head.
Why did the director shook his head? Is it because he didn't like him? Ava Gardner immediately became nervous.
"She is so beautiful. In my imagination, Marisa was not so beautiful, but I suddenly felt that the woman who could be snatched away by Romon should be very beautiful. People couldn't help taking her away. "
Hearing this, Ava's mood a little lowered.
Nolan looked at Ava holding the script in her hand and said to the woman: "Miss Gardner, you must have read the script."
"Well, I've seen it."
"Then can you perform a section according to the plot in the script, it doesn't matter which section is." Nolan said.
Ava Gardner also studied acting for more than a year before. She just read the script and has some understanding of the character Marisa in the script.
Just now, she also thought that Hardy was Red Dead Jon, and she was the Marissa who was saved by him, and she unknowingly took the role into her heart.
Ava walked to the middle, staggered slightly, her eyes turned melancholy, and her voice was sad, "Romon, don't hurt my child, don't."
After speaking, I turned around and hugged something, rushed into my arms, tears were left behind, "Please Romon, let him go, he is innocent, I will go back with you obediently, never again Ran."
'S face is full of sadness and despair.
"Okay, the acting is very good, Miss Gardner is very suitable for this role, I think the heroine can already be confirmed." Nolan said loudly.
Nolan is not stupid. This woman is Hardy's default heroine, and the acting skills of the woman in front of him are also reasonable. She looks beautiful and is completely qualified for the heroine.
Ava wiped her tears and almost jumped up excitedly. Anyone could see the joy and excitement in his eyes.
This is the first role in her life.
The three of them sat down, and Nolan said to Hardy: "The most important thing now is to find an actor who fits the protagonist Jon's temperament. This is very important. I think about the right actor in Hollywood now. How many This is more appropriate. I am very optimistic about Henry Fonda, but his salary is about 350,000 US dollars, which is too expensive. McCree or Cobain can also work, but their salary is also more than 100,000 US dollars."
Hardy shook his head, "I said in this movie that we don't use celebrities to drive traffic. All the money is used for shooting. There are second- and third-tier actors in Hollywood. Their acting skills are not bad. We can select suitable actors in it. "
Nolan also agreed with Hardy.
"Okay, I'll let someone go to the actors' union to pick someone, and I'll let you go through the list when I get the list, Hardy, I'll go first, I can't wait to form a crew now." Nolan stood up and said.
Hardy smiled and sent Nolan out.
Only Hardy and Ava were left in the office, and Ava immediately lost her restraint and threw herself on Hardy. "Hadi, I can really be the heroine. I'm so happy, it's like a dream. "
"Is it a sweet dream?"
"Yes, a very beautiful dream." The woman nodded.
"Then keep doing it, don't wake up."
After the woman was excited, she held up the script again and looked like it was the most beautiful thing in the world. Hardy made a cup of tea, lit a cigar and started smoking.
About the movie.
The reason why film companies look for big stars is that the big stars have good acting skills, but this is only a small part of the reason, and the main reason is to use their reputation to attract people into the movie theater.
is like a director of later generations, knowing that Xiao Xianrou's acting skills are bad, but people have traffic and can attract audiences into the movie theater. You can't do it with other actors.
Before the broadcast of each movie, it will promote it hard. In many cases, the publicity cost accounts for a large part of the movie cost, and some even exceed the production cost.
is to let people buy tickets to enter the cinema.
How will I promote my own movie in the future? The traditional methods of publicity must be very expensive. Hardy is searching for posterity's publicity strategies in his mind, hoping to use it.
"Jon, does this movie have a theme song?" Ava suddenly asked next to him.
"theme song?"
"Yes, Gone with the Wind theme song "My True Love", I absolutely love it, there are many theme songs, more famous than movies."
There was a flash of light in Hardy's mindYes,
movie episode.
If you get a movie episode out and play it on the radio, let the song become popular first, and advertise that it is an episode of a movie, but without the name, people will be very curious. When the movie comes out, plus the promotion of the song, the effect I'm afraid it's better than throwing a lot of money.
What song should I use?
Let someone from the company arranger department write a song?
I am afraid that those people will not be able to write a hit song.
might as well take a classic from later generations.
Hardy’s original English is good, and I like listening to English songs, especially some old classic songs, which are played in a loop while driving.
He suddenly thought of a song, closed his eyes and hummed softly.
"Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Please say hello to the one who lives there,
He used to be my true love. "
Hardy’s voice is a bit low, and his singing level is at best karaoke level, but his singing together immediately attracted Ava.
This beautiful tone is something she has never heard before.
quickly immersed in it.
Hardy only sang for a while, then stopped and looked at Ava with a shocked face, "This is a song I wrote before and adapted from British folk songs. What do you think?"
Ava Gardner covered her mouth in surprise.
"God, Hardy, you can compose a song, and it's so beautiful. This song is so good to hear. I was deeply attracted by it after only a few sentences."
Ava Gardner walked up to Hardy, eyes full of admiration, holding the man’s face and whispering:
"Hadi, you are the most talented man I have ever seen."
