v2 Chapter 651： Two lucky people

"Margot Robbie just turned 17 this month, although this age is closer to the age group set by the heroine..."

In the filming room, Anna Prinz stood in front of the projector screen, pointed to a photo of an actress, and said, "But we all know that if an actor is under 18 years old, work and some scales are larger. Performances will be troublesome."

Last time, Duke didn't pay much attention to the age of the actors. Anna Prinz made a lot of sense. He gestured to his associate director to continue.

Anna Prinz nodded to the back of the camera, and an assistant immediately changed another picture.

"Aimee Hilde has previously starred in film and television dramas such as "I Love You Until I Die" and "Good Ordinary People", and has certain acting experience," she turned her head and looked at the posted pictures, "her The appearance fully meets our requirements. She was born in 1986 and her age is also a big advantage."

Tina Fei, who was sitting next to Duke, said at this moment, "I also think Aimee Hild is suitable for this role."

Seeing the two people hosting the second audition say so, Duke nodded slightly and said, "Then choose her, and inform Nancy as soon as possible."

Aimee Hildben is the signing of icm, a member.

Similarly, in the choice of actor, Tina Fei and Anna Pritz also have the same views, unanimously recommending Andrew Garfield, who was recently signed by icm, to Duke.

Among them, there must be Nancy's favor points. This is a normal thing. Duke also believes that his two assistants are sure to play the leading actor Sam by Andrew Garfield.

In addition, other non-important actors are basically finalized, and in accordance with Duke's requirements. Peter Cullen, who dubbed the animated version of Optimus Prime, was specifically hired, and he dubbed Optimus Prime in the film.

Although the protagonist and heroine do not have to undergo rigorous professional training like Channing Tatum, they must also actively exercise and reserve their physical fitness. The two will have a lot of running scenes in the film.

To determine the hero and heroine, the preparation of the crew has also entered a new stage. Duke continued to stay in Los Angeles to take control of the overall situation and dispatched John Schwarzman to lead a film crew. With the cooperation of the Pentagon, he went to some military bases to shoot the necessary fighter flight and various advanced weapons materials.

It is not easy for Duke to stay in Los Angeles. He needs to constantly communicate with the two special effects teams of Industrial Light and Magic, accurately convey the effects he wants to them, and examine each other’s experimental works in order to discover the shortcomings in time. .

There are also explosive scenes. There will be a lot of explosion scenes during the shooting. Jos Williams’ team started designing the explosion scenes in July. Duke asked them to go to Las Vegas for field trips. Some road explosion scenes need to be controlled well. Power, if it really destroys a street in Las Vegas, it is estimated that the casino will have to go crazy.

Then there are sponsors. Autobots deformed cars were transported to the Hughes Aircraft Factory in Los Angeles. The hangar here is also set up, mainly used to shoot the scene inside the Hoover Dam. The most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the Megatron model under construction.

"It seems good to make one at home."

Looking at the huge Megatron model at the end of the hangar, Scarlett Johansson's eyes seemed to be shining, "I still like Megatron, not Optimus Prime. I feel that every time the Autobots win, they are the director and screenwriter. Helping, it’s not that they really have the strength to win."

She turned her head, looked at Duke, and asked. "Can you let the Decepticons win?"

Duke had just walked around a Chevrolet Camaro, and when he heard Scarlett's words, he said grimly, "What do you think?"

Scarlett pouted, "The audience will not agree that the Decepticons will win."

If the Decepticons win, it means that they get the source of fire, which will transform a large number of Transformers, and humans will face an extremely cruel situation.

Few viewers like to see this ending.

The consequences of shooting a large commercial production in this way can be disastrous.

Looking back from Megatron, Scarlett walked to Duke's side, stood with her, and looked at the cars in front of him. In fact, only the Chevrolet Camaro and Jazz were transported here. The deformed Lamborghini.

Of course, Scarlett didn't like a sports car of the level of Camaro, and his eyes quickly fell on the latest Lamborghini, looking very interested.

Duke knows that his mentality is too old, and he basically has no feelings about cars. Unlike Scarlett, she likes cars very much.

"In about three days, a high-end Lamborghini of the same model will be shipped to Los Angeles." Duke said slowly, "You can just drive home when the time comes."

"Give it to me?" Scarlett laughed.

"Um..." Duke nodded, "I made it for you at Lamborghini."

"You didn't book one for yourself?" Scarlett came over.

Duke shook his head, "I don't like this type of car."

He rarely drives now, even if he drives, he won't be such a high-profile sports car.

Scarlett opened her mouth, but swallowed the words to her lips. She had known Duke for so many years, and she naturally understood who he was.

She saw that Duke was about to start busy with work again, and said, "I won't bother you, I'll go talk to Tina for a while, and come back after get off work."

Time slowly entered October, and the preparations for "Transformers" gradually entered the end. By the end of October, the film was officially launched at Warner Studios. Duke also cooperated with Hasbro and Warner Bros. A large press conference was held.

I have to say that Transformers has a large number of fans in this land of North America. When the press conference was held, not only were nearly 500 reporters gathered in the front lobby of the Warner Building where it was held, but also thousands of people gathered outside the building. Transformers fans, these people held up various versions of toys, as well as large posters of Duke himself to show their support for the film.

However, I don’t know how many works have been destroyed by Hollywood’s childhood memories. There is also a small group of ‘wires’ holding protest slogans against the adaptation of "Transformers" into a live-action movie.

There is no shortage of stubborn and conservative people in any country and era. It is normal for some people to support and others to oppose.

These will not hinder the normal holding of the press conference.

"There are so many reporters out there, I am very nervous now."

In the lounge on the first floor, Amber Heard kept walking back and forth, "I want to breathe deeply, I want to be calm, I want to act like a mature star!"

On the other side, Andrew Garfield sat on a chair, rolled his eyes at Amber Heard’s long legs, but didn’t say anything. He was also nervous, but he wouldn’t show it easily. How to To show the best of himself to the media is a compulsory course for them. He has been studying for a long time under the arrangement of icm.

The door of the lounge was pushed open from the outside, and Nancy Josephson walked in. She looked at the two actors under her umbrella and said, "It's going to start soon. Remember what I told you?"

Amber Heard and Andrew Garfield nodded at the same time.

Nancy once again urged, "You don't need to be too nervous, the focus of the media must be on Duke."

As the agent said, after the press conference began, Amber Heard and Andrew Garfield discovered that the media had only asked them a few trivial questions, and then all the questions were thrown at the film. Director.

"That's just two lucky guys."

In the back row of the reporter’s seat, a female reporter said to the photographer, “You don’t need to put too much energy into them.”

The photographer seemed to be a novice, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Don't say it is a pair of young actors with good appearance conditions." The female reporter snorted softly and said, "Even if a pig is selected by Duke Rosenberg, it will be red to purple."

Just like what the female reporter said, the goal of the media is still focused on Duke.

However, Duke has rich experience and is easy to deal with, and will disclose some content appropriately so that the media can have material for hype reports.

"There is no doubt that the protagonist of the film will be Optimus Prime."

Duke did not evade that humans are only supporting roles of Autobot leaders, saying, "Optimus Prime is the most popular Transformers. His steady, wise, brave and compassionate personality has won our love."

He adjusted the microphone slightly, and then said, "In the film that is about to start shooting, Optimus Prime, whether it is the shape of a six-wheel tractor truck or a robot, even the deformation process and sound are the same as the animation 20 years ago. The film is exactly the same. The only difference is that the cartoons of the year were created in 2D, and today's movies are made in full 3D. With the cooperation of the advanced special effects technology of Industrial Light & Magic, every deformation of Optimus Prime can be seen. Clearly."

A reporter stood up and asked, "Director Rosenberg, it is said that you will use 3D technology to film and produce "Transformers. Is this true?"

"3D technology is not a simple bluffing gadget, it can make the audience more engaged when watching a movie, as if being on the scene." Duke said seriously, "I don't want the audience to watch this Movies, watching the world of "Transformers", but through 3D technology, can enter the world. It will make a world of difference between watching a disc at home and watching the movie theater. I hope that 3D technology can attract everyone to watch "Transformation" King Kong."

If you want to let the audience enter the theater, you must show something that you can't see on the small screen.

Amber Heard and Andrew Garfield were somewhat disappointed in this press conference. They were completely different from what they expected. The media did not pay much attention to them. Fortunately, the two were not fools. They knew that after the film was released. Everything will change, and the best thing to do now is to devote yourself to the next shooting. (To be continued...)
