Chapter 34： best choice for director

On September 10, although the script is still being revised, the film "My Grand Greek Wedding" has been officially established within the Dunn Films, with a budget of 15 million US dollars and an external claim of 35 million.

Tang En Pictures also officially sent dozens of invitations to auditions to major brokerage companies.

Since the script revolves around Nicole Kidman, the other characters are all supporting roles. Dunn has handed over the power to casting assistant Glenn Fierro, who also has his own major project—choose a director!

Tang En's current ability is not suitable for the director's position at all, all he can rely on is the "mirror possession" skill in the sunglasses system.

It was because of the original novice gift package that Dunn possessed Cameron's professional skills and successfully completed the shooting of "Titanic".

Fortunately, the "mirror possession" skill will be triggered every time Dunn's films have accumulated more than 1 billion US dollars at the global box office.

The box office of "Titanic" has already exceeded 1 billion US dollars, so he has accumulated another "mirror possession" skill.

The key is, which famous director should Dunn choose to possess?

James Cameron is definitely not good. He is not good at this kind of family, drama and comedy. Dunn thought about it for a long time and finally locked in two candidates - Steven Spielberg and Woody Allen.

Needless to say, Steven Spielberg is the number one in Hollywood today!

The bright data also proved his strength.

Among the five options of the producer, the production is 92, the market judgment is 94, the literary aesthetics is 89, the project evaluation is 85, the screenwriter is 80, the comprehensive score... 88 points!

Far more than Cameron's 81 points.

Among the five options of the director, the camera is 91, the plot design is 97, the image thinking is 83, the direction is 86, the camera is 93, and the overall score is 90!

and Cameron.

For such a top-level director, even if Dunn has a slight rift with him, the respect in his heart is still essential.

In comparison, Woody Allen's numbers are much lower.

The overall score of the producer is only 69. Among the directing skills, the camera is 89, the plot design is 96, the image thinking is 71, the direction is 93, the camera is 80, and the overall score is 86.

From the point of view of overall comprehensive strength, Woody Allen is far inferior to Steven Spielberg, but what makes Dunn melancholy is that Spielberg has not made a comedy, and Woody Allen Almost all of his works are inseparable from family, comedy...

Throughout Hollywood, Woody Allen is a veritable master of comedy, and in the comedy industry, there is no equal!

Moreover, Woody Allen's screenwriting ability has reached 93, and his acting level is close to 80. If Dunn possesses his ability, he might even make a cameo appearance in the movie and become addicted to acting.

"Woody Allen... Spielberg..."

Tang En was sad and bleak, and he really couldn't make up his mind. This movie is related to his future career planning, so he must be careful, careful, and more careful.

"Huh? Yes, why did I forget him?" Dunn slapped his forehead. Glenn Fierro's "casting" ability is as high as 97. As a producer, the selection of directors is also included.

Another assistant producer, Erin Kelly, was in charge of the preparatory work of the crew, but the casting alone made Glenn Fierro very busy.

"Boss, with our budget, we can't afford either Spielberg or Woody Allen!"

Tang En waved his hand, "I didn't say please, just analyze, which director's directing style is suitable for our film, I'll go back and study it."

Glenn Fierro couldn't help but be in awe, who is the boss? The super director of a single film with a box office of 1.5 billion US dollars!

But such a person is also constantly learning and researching. Can such a person fail?

Glenn Fierro thought for a while, "Spirelberg definitely can't!"

"Ah? Why?" Dunn was a little surprised. "Although Spielberg has never made a comedy film, his films are always tender, which makes people cry."

"Yes, Spielberg has a wealth of directing experience, he can completely grasp the emotions of the audience, let them cry, laugh, fear, surprise or applaud with the film, which is why his films have repeatedly been box office hits. "

Under Dunn's suspicious eyes, Glenn Fierro shook his head and said, "But the foundation of all this is the warmth behind the complex and cruel human nature! Spielberg is good at making cruel stories warm, and he is good at making complex human nature The film is warm, but our films are different. Our film is to make a warm story with warmth, such a warm emotion, which is not Spielberg's expertise. This can be seen from the love lines in his past films. come out."

Dunn nodded, in Spielberg's movie... the development of love is indeed a bit rough.

Glenn Fierro's face became stern, "In fact, none of these matters. The most important point is that Spielberg is Jewish!"

Tang En was shocked and gave him a deep look. He was amazed in his heart. He really is a big cow with a "casting" ability of 97. His views are so high, it's amazing!

The movie "My Great Greek Wedding" mainly looks at Greek culture from the perspective of Americans, which makes all kinds of jokes, but Greek civilization and Israeli civilization...

Letting Jews direct this film will definitely cause huge controversy, and it may even develop to the level where Jews satirize Greek civilization.

Dunn sighed, "What about Woody Allen?"

Glenn Fierro pouted, "Woody Allen is even worse!"

"Ah? Why? Isn't he a comedy master?" This time, Dunn was even more surprised.

Glenn Fierro obviously doesn't like Woody Allen's character, and his face is a bit mocking, "Woody Allen is indeed a master of comedy, but his films have always been niche comedies, and our films must It's a popular comedy. Our goal is the box office, and Woody Allen is never a box office guarantee."

Hearing this reason, Dunn understands that there is absolutely no need to borrow Woody Allen's ability.

Glenn Fierro doesn't seem to have vented enough contempt for Woody Allen. "Woody Allen's films have a strong personal style and a very artistic sense, but he has a European style of art. And Woody Allen is notorious right now, and his films are showing in North America and there is absolutely no way they will sell!"

Dunn smiled. He didn't expect the Woody Allen scandal to have such a big impact. He shook his head, "Then which director do you think is the most suitable for our movie?"

"This…"

Glenn Fierro pondered for a long time, Dunn was in no hurry, stood up and poured him a glass of whisky.

"I figured it out!" Glenn Fierro suddenly stood up blushing, "He can do it, I believe he can do it!"

"Who?"

"Gary Marshall!"

Glenn Fierro's pronunciation is sonorous and powerful, and UU reading looks very excited.

Dunn was a little stunned, "Gary Marshall? Who is it?"

"Huh?" Glenn Fierro was stunned on the spot, unable to believe his ears, "Boss?"

"Ahem..." Dunn quickly concealed his embarrassment, "This... Glenn, you know, I haven't seen many movies..."

"Boss, haven't you watched "Pretty Woman in the Moon"?"

Dunn blinked a few times, "Of course you've seen such a classic romance movie! You mean... the director of this movie is Gary Marshall?"

"That's right!" Glenn Fierro sighed with relief, "When Director Marshall filmed "Pretty Moon", the situation was similar to ours, it was also an independent film, and the budget was tight, but he exchanged $14 million for investment $460 million at the box office and a hit with Julia Roberts!"

Dunn narrowed his eyes, "It seems that director Gary Marshall is really a suitable candidate... Well, I'll go back and study Marshall's directing methods."

Glenn Fierro flattered: "Boss, you are working too hard! By the way, the day after tomorrow, I will have a very important audition, and I will audition for many important supporting actresses at the same time. Would you like to check it out? "

Of course, Tang En understood the meaning of the other party's words. He was just a few minor characters, so he didn't need to make too much trouble. Even if you meet someone who is as beautiful as a goddess, and when you enter the crew, with Tang En's identity and status, isn't it still a grip?

"Forget it, it's up to you to decide." Tang En waved his hand, and his tone suddenly became serious, "This is the first movie of Tang En Pictures, don't screw it up!"

The meaning of the warning is very obvious.

Glenn Fierro laughed, "I understand, boss."
