Chapter 740： Special actors are not easy to find

Although the remake is from the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs", "Infernal Affairs" is a completely Americanized film. There is no familiar feeling in the same story line. This may be a master director. I have always used my own voice to speak, and perhaps it is the most direct manifestation of cultural differences.

"Infernal Affairs" definitely bears a deep Martin Scorsese brand. If the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" can read romance, sadness, and exquisiteness, then "Infernal Affairs" can only read Cold, cruel, and gravel, these are two styles that are absolutely opposite.

This is North America. "Infernal Affairs" only got more than $160,000 in the box office here. Whether from the perspective of hitting the Oscars or considering the film's box office, this change is necessary and relatively successful.

"Legendary director Martin Scorsese's new American crime masterpiece, his talent shines at the highest peak."

"This story completely expresses Martin Scorsese's attainments in art and spirit=no=error=fiction=3w.== as strongly as it is."

"This is the most energetic, exciting and uplifting film of the year."

"William Monaghan's script is completely shocking, the setting is very good, the feelings are like melting lava, and the film's lines and complex plot are amazing."

As Ryan expected, "Infinite Walker" has gained a lot of praise in North America, and the media has almost bursting with word of mouth. A large number of well-known film critics, including Roger Albert, have given very high ratings for this film. Even in most film review columns in the media and the Internet, it is extremely difficult to find comments below seven points.

As for the original "Infernal Affairs", in the eyes of North American media and film critics, just like the French original version of "True Lies" and the Italian original version of "Scent of a Woman", there is not much value at all.

If the media comments will inevitably bring a regional perspective, then the box office is undoubtedly the best embodiment of the acceptance of the background culture of the two films by ordinary North American audiences.

In the three days of the weekend, "Inferior Walker" got a box office of 26.88 million US dollars from North America. This result is not too good, but this is already Martin Scorsese's best North American first-week box office ever.

In ten days, this film has accumulated nearly 60 million US dollars in the box office from North America, and has won the praise of countless gangster fans. The score on imdb once hovered between 8.7 and 8.9, although gradually Reduced to 8.6 points, but this is already comparable to the ratings of old Martin classics such as "Good Guy" and "Taxi Driver".

Even if the ratings on imdb do not provide any substantial help to the box office of the film, they can always reflect some problems.

Especially in the eyes of Martin Scorsese's die-hard fans, "Infernal Walker" is his successor to "The Good Guy." The most outstanding work.

From the moment the film was released, Martin Scorsese and the team behind him began the pre-season public relations work, which seemed to have learned the lessons of previous failures, the old Martin and the film investor’s plan b film The company used more resources. Ryan himself alone received calls from Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Disney did not go straight for the best director and best picture this year, and Ryan did not mind voting for Martin Scorsese and "Infinite Walker". The reason why the other party attaches so much importance to him is also because of him. The votes cast will affect many judges.

And this is also a favor. When next year, these related people will definitely return this favor to him. Then next year's "Black Swan"...

"so……"

Put down the novel in your hand. Nicole looked at Ryan, who was sitting on the opposite sofa and flipping through the newspaper. "Martin Scorsese has a good chance of winning next year's Oscar for Best Director?"

"The quality-guaranteed film is already there." Ryan closed the newspaper and looked up. "The rest is up to PR. Martin is not without advantages. Unsurprisingly, most public opinion will favor him. If he is nominated again. If it fails, the college will face a lot of pressure."

"That's a vague reminder to the college that you should give me a trophy for best director." Nicole also understands some of the tricks of public relations, "but can't touch their bottom line."

"Yes, public relations requires a lot of money." Ryan simply put the newspaper on the coffee table, "but how to use the funds is also very particular."

"Then you think I have two Oscars for best actresses." Nicole suddenly showed Ryan the documentary novel in his hand, "Will they give me a third one?"

"My dear, if you don't have confidence in yourself." Ryan can't guarantee anything. After all, the person in the previous life can win more awards for her years of hard work and recognition of her status in Hollywood. "I can help you find A heroine."

"A documentary subject." Nicole didn't answer his words at all. "The roles that touch on family, affection and struggle are obviously more pleasing than the heroine in the "Australia" script.

"That's right." Ryan suddenly remembered, "How much did it cost to get the adaptation rights?"

"US$3.2 million plus 3% of the North American box office share." Nicole seemed to have a headache for these. "Now that you want to get the right to adapt literary films, the number of checks that need to be issued is getting higher ."

"Give you a suggestion, dear." Ryan pointed to the tall American football player on the cover of the book. "When the screenwriting team is adapting the script, you'd better find a suitable actor early. This requires a minimum of six feet. A super black guy who is four inches tall and has to pass the acting skills."

"Oh, yes..." he added, "and start football training as soon as possible. He is a good American football player in the film."

Although there is no shortage of actors in Hollywood, such special actors are really not easy to find.

What's the name of that person in the previous life?

Ryan scratched his head, except for his size, he really couldn't remember.

Suddenly, the door of the villa lobby was pushed open from the outside. Amidst the sound of fine footsteps, Taylor, dragging a huge suitcase, walked in. After Elsa rushed to her to take the suitcase, the guy moved to dress. The two long legs of beige slacks came to Nicole and fell directly on the couch, ignoring his own image.

"Dear Elsa..." she said to the housekeeper who temporarily put the suitcase aside, "may I have a large glass of strawberry juice? If not, iced soda will do."

"Wait two minutes." Elsa picked up the phone and dialed the kitchen number.

"My dear, your publicity journey is complete?" Ryan looked at Tyler. The grown-up girl stuck her tongue out and straightened her waist from a crooked state. "It's too early to complete. It will take at least one month. The day after tomorrow I Go to Nokia Plaza to sign the sale and stay here for two days temporarily."

"Why didn't you go home?" Nicole raised her head and asked.

"There is no one in the house, the place is still full of paparazzi." Taylor took the strawberry juice from the servant and said thank you. After taking a big sip, he continued, "This is also my home. I miss Sunny."

"So..." Ryan tilted his head and looked out of the villa through the window. "You brought a lot of reporters and paparazzi?"

"Ah..." The royal blue eyes turned, Taylor said with a grin, "This place is big, and the protection is tight. Those idiots can't take pictures. Besides, they know who the owner here is, and they don't dare. Too presumptuous."

Without waiting for Ryan to continue speaking, she jumped up from the sofa and ran towards the nursery, "I'm going to see Sunny."

"Alison." Nicole told the tall back, "Sandy is sleeping, don't wake her."

After that, Nicole again ordered the housekeeper, “Elsa, tell the kitchen to cook Alison’s favorite dishes for dinner.”

Tyler went quickly and came back quickly, but ten minutes later, she walked back to the hall. After she sat down, she drank the remaining strawberry juice in the cup in a few mouthfuls.

"Those paparazzi." She grumbled and complained, "I started chasing after I got out of Los Angeles International Airport until I reached Beverly Hills."

"anything else"

Elsa came over with a larger glass, and when Taylor nodded, she filled her up again.

"Thank you, Elsa." Taylor stood up and gave her a light hug. "You are the best to me."

"You really said Lisa would be sad." Elsa joked casually and walked back to her seat.

Tyler sat down, sipped the bright red strawberry juice, "I haven't seen Sunny for a month, she has grown up so much."

"Baby grows fast."

Hearing what Ryan said, Taylor nodded and asked, "Will she call Mom and Dad?".

"Not yet." Ryan shook his head, "I think it will take a few months to wait, don't worry."

"Oh, that's it." Taylor's eyes turned again, obviously playing something sticky I have two days off, I must let her call her sister first..."

"No, why am I wrong again?" She tugged at her long platinum curly hair. "It should be Aunt Taylor."

"Trust me, dear." Ryan said while packing up the pile of newspapers he had read before. "When Sandy grows up, he will only call your sister."

Probably thinking of Lily and Apple, who was already able to talk, Taylor's pair of golden eyebrows slowly twisted, and after thinking about it for about half a minute, he said with a sullen face, "It's better to be casual."

After finishing the newspapers, Ryan put it on the newspaper rack on one side, walked to a cabinet, opened the cabinet door, and took out a blue-red robot model that was two feet high.

"This is the first Optimus Prime model produced by Hasbro in conjunction with the movie. It can be deformed." Ryan handed it to Taylor and pointed to the number '001' on the model. "Bumblebee and the others are in the storage room. Here, you will see for yourself later."

"Ah... That's great!" Taylor almost snatched it from Ryan, "I almost forgot, our movie is about to be released." (To be continued...) ()
