Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 373 Time is running out

"I need to start as soon as possible, shoot all the shots within 18 days, complete the post-production in two months, and release it in December at the latest," Angela sat at the top of the long table in the conference room for the first time and gave orders to the heads of various departments. Order, although her dress is casual as usual and she doesn't look like a boss at all, but she still has the momentum she should have, "The structure of this movie is very simple, the key lies in the shooting technique and post-editing. If the efficiency is high enough, it must be done. It's easy."

Having said that, she stopped and glanced at the people in the meeting room: "I hope everyone can cooperate with my work, so, do you have any other questions now?"

Bruce raised his hand first: "Miss Mason, does the movie "Death Comes" need to slow down?"

"Of course not, "Memento" is just a very simple movie, it won't take up too much of your time, and I will try my best to adjust my time to suit you." Angela shook her head.

"Miss Mason, the time is a little tight. We will take at least a week or even longer to select actors." Jeff Hubbard, who is in charge of preparing for casting and recruiting staff for various positions, said.

"There is only one main character. I already have a candidate for the heroine. The supporting actor is up to you to decide. It should be easy to find among the actors who have played supporting roles for a long time. As for the leading actor, I will let Ms. Adiman take my Ask to bring it to you, and then select 20 to 30 second- and third-tier actors for me to choose." Angela said and stood up, "Any other questions? If not, then the meeting is adjourned now. "

Going straight back to her humble office, Angela started to be busy again. Although she was busy organizing the footage of "Memory Fragments" for the past two days, she only had her own time after 2 p.m. There is still half.

As she said, the structure of "Memento" is actually very simple, and it can only be regarded as a mediocre level in terms of the script alone, but just like "Titanic" becomes extraordinary after adding CG and various technologies, it is unique. The unique narrative technique has achieved the classic status of this movie!Therefore, if Angela wants to restore without mistakes, it is necessary to carefully reproduce the division of the shots in the pen to facilitate the director's work at that time.

It's not that she can't afford to lose. "Stealing and Kidnapping" was originally positioned as an experimental work. She wanted to see her true level, how much she had learned and what her strengths and weaknesses were. In fact, she also achieved her goal.

But the problem is that they can criticize her directing methods, they can also find fault with the film as much as they want, and analyze everything in it one by one. This is fine, but personal attacks are definitely not allowed!

Well, it's a bit too much to say that it's a human attack. The accurate expression is prejudice, the prejudice of men against women!She can tolerate this kind of emotion existing in the cracks, but she must not let it affect the mainstream view. If she continues according to her plan, if it doesn't go well, she will encounter more subjects that are not suitable for women in the future, especially the final point of the plan. , so since the script in his hand is just right, he should fan it back if he does his part!

Putting it down and looking at the draft in her hand, Gila nodded with satisfaction. So far, it is still in her grasp, but... she glanced at the phone on the table, although there is already a heroine candidate, will the other party agree to return? Not knowing, Angela thought for a few minutes and decided to make a phone call first.

"Hi Miss Ingall, I'm glad you recognized my voice, is Charlie there? Yes, I'm looking for her... Hi Charlie, how are you? Listen to Keanu in the new movie It's been a pleasure working with you, I can't wait to see your show... Thanks, I don't care about that stuff anyway, whatever you say they can get what they want...yes, that's right , you guessed right, what kind of answer are you going to give me? By the way, I want to emphasize two points: first, this is a low-budget B-movie directed by me; second, I need you to turn ugly Pretend...Okay, I'll have someone fax you the script or email it right away, I hope you'll think about it after reading it."

Putting down the phone, the girl let out a sigh of relief, she would choose Charlize because she couldn't find any actress who was related to her and her acting skills were relatively cheap.Yes, Charlize's acting skills are indeed pretty good, but it can't be directly proportional to her appearance.

It's sad when an actress doesn't perform up to the level of her looks, because it makes it hard for directors not to treat her like a vase, the same goes for Kate and Jessica, but their beauty varies have idiosyncrasies.

Regardless of her attractive figure, Kate's oriental temperament and British style are very attractive, not to mention Jessica's smile.Charlize is indeed very beautiful, but it is a pity that this beauty is a bit mediocre, even Sarah Sheila, who is also a blonde stunner, has a bit of insidiousness in it.

Once you are positioned as a vase, it is a bit difficult to turn yourself over. You have to take a lot of literary films to hone yourself, or give yourself another position, such as being a hit girl like Kate is now, or playing ugly—— ——Angela remembers that Charlize won the Oscar for Best Actress by virtue of this, but she has forgotten which movie—after all, Angela is the only one who started acting right out of her mother's womb.

Although as early as 95 in "Virtual Idol", Charlize and Angela knew each other because they played the virtual Simone as a model, but they are not very familiar with each other. Occasionally chat a few words, there is no more intersection, but the girl is not worried that she will refuse.

Charlize is a smart woman, otherwise she would not hesitate to play ugly to act, and then won the Oscar for Best Actress. In fact, she has made many changes because of her own shortcomings, so Angela believes that after reading the script, We must seize this opportunity. Because we have never seen a script with such a structure before, it may be well-filmed or self-defeating, but why not try it?Even though Angela told her to wear ugly makeup, even if it was just a low-budget B-movie!

After asking Ms. Adiman to take the copy of the script to email, the girl greeted Jeff with a few floppy disks, on which were copies of the materials of dozens of second-line actors who had just been selected by them.

"We have temporarily selected 26 according to the initials of their names. If none of them are suitable, I will let them continue." Jeff said, hesitating for a while before speaking again: "Miss Angela , don't you think it seems like..."

"Some jokes?" Angela didn't have a head, but stared at the computer screen and quickly flipped through the list of candidates, "Yes, I admit, there is indeed a little bit, but you also know that I don't have that much time, I need movies Released at the end of December."

"I don't understand..." Jie shrugged, "Why must it be released within this year?"

"Because this is not in my filming plan, and I have more important things to do next year, I am making this film to squeeze time." Of course, this is only one of the reasons, as for the others, it goes without saying .

"So I have to ask you to select the parts according to my requirements and then select them yourself, because only I know best what kind of characters this movie needs," Angela said, pointing to a man on the screen: "Look , this person is very suitable."

"He doesn't seem...not even a third-tier actor," Jeff frowned and looked at the information on the screen. "Although he is relatively well-known in Australia, he is still a second-tier actor. He is just a newcomer in Hollywood."

"That's it, Hugh Jackman!" Angela closed the document with the corner of her mouth curled up, and then looked at Jeff: "Contact him and his agent immediately, and then send him the script, and try to get him to agree if possible !"

"Okay, you're the boss." Jeff shrugged, turned and walked out.

Angela leaned back on the chair again and temporarily breathed a sigh of relief. The so-called "Only I know best what kind of role this movie needs" means that she wants to find those actors who are not yet well-known to play this role. , because time is tight.

In fact, because of the relatively wide range of ages, she did discover many stars of tomorrow, such as Heath Ledger, Jack Gyllenshire or Tobey Maguire, especially Heath Ledger and The files of Jack Gyllenshire and the two are actually close together. I have to say that there is a weird feeling, but it is really a surprise to find the information of "Wolverine".

At least among these familiar second- and third-tier actors, Hugh Jackman is the most suitable for this role, Tobey Quill is still very young, Heath Ledger and Jack Gyllenshire are similar to himself Big is just a little boy.

Even though this Australian man has only started acting for two or three years, he has not only studied at the Sydney Actors Center, but also obtained a degree from the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. As a scientist, it shouldn't be too difficult to drive this kind of role, so Angela is very optimistic about him.

Now that the male and female protagonists are basically settled, only the supporting actor is left undecided. Angela originally liked Joe Pantoliano to play this role. Simi is also a golden supporting role in Hollywood. No matter whether the role is right or wrong or both good and evil, he can interpret it in place. He has performed wonderfully in many blockbuster movies. It will definitely add a lot to the movie.

It's a pity that Joe is temporarily inseparable from the "Matrix" crew. His role is very important, because he plays the Cypher whose name is derived from "Cipher", yes, the bald traitor, so I have to say this is a pity.

Let's talk about it when the time comes, Angela comforted herself in her heart, maybe Jeff and the others can find a more suitable one, as long as Hugh and Charlize agree to it, the filming can start immediately... Oh, wait, not yet, there is something more important right away Things are waiting for her.
