Best Movie Star

After the New Year's holiday, the writers' strike in Hollywood did not mean to stop at all, but intensified. The conflict between labor and management has never been an easy problem to solve. After the Golden Globe Awards canceled the award ceremony and announced the results directly, such as the Screen Actors Guild Award A series of trade union awards, including the Director's Guild Award, have all cancelled the award ceremony and instead announced the results of the award.

Countless stars have also stood up, such as Matthew, Two Toms, Big Mouth Zhu and George Clooney, etc., publicly announced that in the case of a strike, they will never go to the Oscars to support the screenwriters who are also laborers. union.

But public statements are one thing, privately it's quite another.

Projects such as "Angels and Demons" produced and starred by Tom Hanks and "Assassination of Target Hitler" led by Tom Cruise will start normally as soon as the New Year's holiday is over.

Like his peers, the two projects "Twilight City" and "Fast and Furious 4" invested and produced by Matthew have also regrouped and continued their preliminary preparations.

As for the screenwriters' strike outside, let's continue to make trouble. There will always be times when both labor and management can't hold it.

The strike will definitely bring some losses to the management, but many crews, like the "Angels and Demons" project, hire many non-union screenwriters to work, and even some screenwriters are on strike in name, but in fact they are secretly working. at work.

Those high-paid gold screenwriters and big-name screenwriters have not made money for a few months. Of course, it is not a problem, but the number of these people is very small. More than 90% of the members of the screenwriters union are the kind of people who are hard to get in the film. A small screenwriter with authorship rights, with the consumption habits of this society, let alone a few months, if there is no salary for a month, it is estimated that he will go crazy.

These realities are here, and even people like Matthew can see it, and the large and medium-sized film companies that constitute the main body of the producer alliance must be very clear.

The Writers Guild is still insisting that DVD and new media will not give up 5% of the revenue, but it will inevitably compromise if it drags on.

The strike has drawn national attention, and according to Matthew's latest news, Washington may intervene in mediation.

There was a lot of riots outside the strike, and the Disney studio was full of people. Four large and medium-sized crews were stationed at the same time to prepare. For the studio still located in Burbank, it can be described as extremely rare.

Since the new century, due to the tax incentives and corresponding subsidy policies in Canada, Australia and some other states in the United States, the Hollywood crew has been seriously exodus. I can't even pay the toll.

However, the situation has improved in the last two years. In order to avoid the continued exodus of Hollywood crews, Arnold Schwarzenegger has promoted a series of policies, including tax rebates. The major studios in Los Angeles have gradually become more popular.

Matthew took a battery car and rushed from the entrance of the studio to the location of "Twilight" and "Fast and Furious 4". He had to pass by the entrance of the rental studios of "Cloud Atlas" and "Alien Battlefield".

When passing by, he deliberately took a look at the studio area, which was very lively with people coming and going.

The two projects that the Plan B studio is involved in have already begun to work.

Matthew first went to the studio where the "Twilight" crew was located, chatted with Sean Daniel and Sofia Coppola, and then went to the opposite studio of "Fast and Furious 4".

Both crews are holding auditions, and a large number of actors have come to the studio one after another, but the focus is different. The auditions of the "Twilight" crew in the past two days are mainly for those small roles, which are basically the same. It's up to Sean Daniel and Sofia Coppola to decide.

On the "Fast and Furious 4" side, there are two very important auditions today, a Chinese male role in the morning and a Jewish female role in the afternoon.

Both roles had first targets, the former was Daniel Wu, who was recruited by Helen Herman, and the latter was an actress who had been retired from the Israel Defense Forces recommended by Akiva Goldsman.

The audition is mainly to look at the characters. Matthew, the bearded Jack and the director Justin Lin are very satisfied with the image of Daniel Wu, and Daniel Wu also performed a period of kung fu on the spot, and he played it really well.

Matthew specifically asked Daniel Wu a few questions, and specially asked him to publish a long speech in English, mainly based on his oral level and understanding of American culture. It turned out that as Helen Herman understood, Daniel Wu grew up in the US and went to college, English and knowledge of the whole country is not a problem.

Choosing Daniel Wu is to prepare for the future, so before the film market on the other side of Taiping has exploded, Daniel Wu must first be liked by North American audiences.

However, his role in the fourth part that is being prepared is not important, and he will appear as a friend of Matthew's character.

At the end of the morning audition, Matthew exchanged opinions with Bearded Jack and Justin Lin. All three were satisfied with Daniel Wu, and then notified Helen Herman and asked her to talk to the full-time producer of the crew. Contract issues such as remuneration.

As early as last year, Daniel Wu selected Helen Herman as his agent in North America.

By the afternoon, Matthew first met another candidate for the role, the actress from Israel.

The Jewish female character in the script is set as a firearms expert, so the other party's experience in the military is far more advantageous than other candidates.

"I'm Gal Gadot from Israel."

During the audition, a tall and thin woman stood in front of the camera and briefly introduced herself, "I participated in the Miss Universe pageant, worked as a graphic model in Israel, and participated in several TV dramas..."

Matthew looked at the tough-faced Israeli woman, and with the name she said, she was sure it was Wonder Woman. That's right, the "360 Degrees No Dead End Show Gal Gadot" "It's so beautiful", after he downloaded the pirated version, he watched it many times.

The Israeli actress brings a rare heroic air to female characters.

However, the current Gal Gadot should not have done a lot of exercise to increase muscles, and the whole person looks particularly slender, even a little thin.

Especially wearing a well-fitting costume, this point is even more highlighted.

She introduced herself and, according to director Justin Lin's request, put on a series of modeling videos,

Matthew looked at the picture transmitted to the monitor in front of him through the camera, and nodded lightly. If measured by Hollywood's consistent standards, Gal Gadot's face and the temperament of the whole person are a bit too tough. .

But the Jewish female character in the script is a shrewd and powerful gun expert. Although she is not out of the scope of the vase, she is not the kind of princess waiting for the prince to come to rescue.

The effect of the audition with makeup was very good. Matthew and Bearded Jack exchanged glances and nodded.

"The next item." Matthew said to director Justin Lin.

Justin Lin stopped filming and asked directly, "Miss Gadot, what do you think of the role of Giselle?"

Gal Gadot smiled and said, "I don't like female characters in traditional Hollywood movies, and I don't want to play those common women in Hollywood movies, who are always lonely and empty waiting for men to save them."

The crew had shown her the character script before, "This character is independent and tenacious. She doesn't have to wait for the prince's rescue, she can also be her own hero."

Matthew couldn't help but tilted his head and looked at her. She was undoubtedly a very smart woman. She had obviously made adequate preparations before the audition. What she said might not be true, but it was the role of the audition.

In this film, there is already a female character like Mia who is purely attached to a man, so as early as when the script was setting the framework, he told the screenwriting team more than once that another female character must be an independent one. type.

Why is this set up? The reason is simple, the feminist movement is booming.

Movies like "Fast and Furious"~www.readwn.com~ will not lack male audiences, but if you want to attract the attention of a wider female audience, of course, you need to do something about female characters.

In terms of adapting to the development of the social situation, he has been doing very well.

Justin Lin added, "What advantages do you have for this role? Can you introduce it?"

"I used to serve in the Israel Defense Forces for two years." Gal Gadot's exposed temperament can make people feel independent, strong and confident, "I have served as a fitness instructor for the women's army in the army, and I have learned fighting and various The use of weapons, I have been receiving normal training in the army, and can skillfully use and disassemble a variety of standard firearms."

She suddenly posed a pose of shooting a gun. "In the character script that the crew gave me, the character has many scenes of shooting with a gun. The highly specialized movements I have mastered are more conducive to the establishment of the character's image."

"Let's get here today." Justin Lin stopped the audition and said, "Miss Gadot, we will notify you of the audition result within three days."

Gal Gadot said politely, "Okay, thank you."

When she left the audition room, Matthew looked at Justin Lin and Bearded Jack and asked, "What do you think?"

"It's very good," Justin-Lin said. "She has a completely different experience than a Hollywood actress, which is an advantage that no one else has."

Bearded Jack said directly, "Just her."

Matthew nodded lightly, "Then choose her."

After finalizing the candidates for two important roles, Matthew finished his work today, left the audition room, exited the studio, drove a battery car, walked towards the entrance of the studio, and once again passed the studio where the "Cloud Atlas" crew was located. At the door, Brad Pitt was found walking alone to the studio door.
