The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 374: , Schwarzenegger's transformational work

   After the relocation, DreamWorks has moved its headquarters, no longer on Sunset Boulevard, but in the northeast of Hollywood, where Griffith Park and Highway 134 face each other. It happened to be between Burbank and Glendale, and not much distance from Universal Studios. On a hillside in front of the park, brand-new buildings stand there, and a wide parking lot is in front of it.

   When Lawrence's car stopped at the door, Alice looked at the surroundings and couldn't help but said, "I always felt that we seem to occupy a good area of ​​the zoo, what do you think?"

Lawrence unfastened his seat belt and said, "Oh, yes, if those guys want to take up a piece of land in front of their door, then we do. But unfortunately, no one is interested in the land outside the zoo, so Let us thank God."

   Alice got out of the car happily. She still liked the choice of such a piece of land when DreamWorks chose the location. At the forest zoo, the natural environment is of course too good to say. Of course, California's overall woodland landscape is the same, and it is far from enough to compare with the real mountainous area. But at least after the children walked out of the zoo, the childlike name of "DreamWorks" was also considered a free publicity.

   "Hey, Jack!" After getting out of the car, Lawrence walked toward the company gate and said to the young security guard at the gate: "I remember there should be an audition for actors this morning. Have they all arrived?"

"Of course it's here, boss." Jack was extraordinarily refreshed today, and when he replied he was excited as if he was drinking high: "They are all waiting outside Room 520 on the third floor now, Director Reitman is going to be busy now. ."

   "Oh, that's really hard work." Lawrence patted Jack on the shoulder and walked into the company. There were not many people at the front desk. As a new company building, its area is of course much larger than the previous one. The expansion of the front hall area is one of the most important image projects. Alice looked left and right, and smiled: "Some days have not come, you even put four flower pots, is this your wife's idea?"

"In fact, Cici thought of it. I guess she didn't tell you?" Lawrence walked towards the elevator: "She always felt that we had decorated the front office of the new company like a bank, so that every employee had to wear suits according to regulations. Go to work. By the way, Alice, do you want to go to the third floor first?"

   "Of course it's great." Alice walked into the elevator and saw Lawrence press the three-floor button. She questioned: "What movie is being filmed now? Who is Reitman that Jack said just now?"

"Oh, this is recommended by Cameron." Lawrence said when the elevator reached the second floor: "He wants to ask Schwarzenegger to make another movie, but of course it's not the Terminator. He just wants to give that guy another one. opportunity……"

   The elevator door opened, and Alice could hear the chirping of the girls without much distance.

At the same time, Lawrence went on to say: "...The script of this movie was provided by Cameron himself, but it is an idea. It is a comedy in genre. To be honest, I don't know that Schwarzenegger will play a comedy. What effect is it..."

"I believe it is very promising, hey, ladies!" Alice walked forward, and in the corridor leading to Room 520, many young girls were waiting for the arrival of the show: "You are all here to apply for the heroine. ?"

   I saw a high school girl coming here with a middle-aged person, and neither of them seemed to be auditioning. The candidate actors present were all human beings. Who didn't know her identity was unusual?

"Oh, yes, young lady." The girl closest to Alice grinned, "You know? We are auditioning for this movie, but we are going to work with Terminator, do you want to meet? What does the real Terminator look like?"

As soon as the voice fell, another girl with blond curly hair also laughed: "But my child, you may not be able to apply for any role. The director has already stated in the recruitment advertisement that the actor must be at least 24 years old. It’s not that far."

   It's pretty good to have two of them talk to each other. Alice simply smiled at them, and then glanced at the closed door of 520. Sure enough, there was a piece of paper pasted on it with the words "The Second Actor Interview of "Dragon Brother and Mouse"".

   "Oh, "Dragon Brother and Mouse Brother"." Without staying here any longer, Alice patted Lawrence on the shoulder and walked towards the elevator, and asked him: "You said this is a comedy category?"

   Of course, I already know the content, but it is also Schwarzenegger's new work anyway, and I still have to let others introduce it to myself.

   "Although the director is not well-known, it is Cameron's idea, a sci-fi comedy." Lawrence said calmly: "We currently have two versions. I will show you later."

   didn't mean to meet the director directly. The two went directly to the chairman's office. Lawrence asked Liliana, the secretary at the door, to pour something for each of them. Alice especially emphasized that she wanted tea instead of coffee.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you drink something now," opened the wooden door under the bookcase, Lawrence looked for the file bag and said: "As long as you don't stay up often, the caffeine stimulation is nothing, and you don't stay up late. No coffee..."

   "I'm a good boy, Uncle Roger, a good boy doesn't drink coffee when he is a teenager~"

   Talking and laughing, Lawrence has already taken out the script. Of course, as a movie script that has been decided as a shooting project, a piece of paper profile is of course also counted. Alice took over and took a brief look, but as expected, it was exactly the "Dragon Brother and Mouse Brother" she had expected.

   The plot of this sci-fi comedy is simple.

   Many years ago, scientists conducted an experiment to create a perfect human. Unexpectedly, the uneven cell division during the experiment caused the experiment to be only half successful, and the other half failed completely. The twin brothers created by scientists, one is a model of a perfect human—the tall Julius with comprehensive development of moral, intellectual, physical and beautiful; the other is a collection of all human shortcomings—the little Vincent. The brothers were separated as soon as they were born. Julis was sent to be raised on a small island in the South China Sea by scientists, while his younger brother spent his childhood in an orphanage.

   Time flies, the years pass, until the two brothers have passed the age of confidence, they did not know the existence of each other. When Julius reunited with his brother Vincent, whom he had never met, the two brothers decided to embark on the road to find their biological mother. But at this time, an accident happened suddenly, causing them to kill.

   "Hmm..." Seeing the brief introduction, and then roughly scanning the first part of the text, Alice pursed her lips and laughed.

   Of course, it doesn’t matter what the scourge is at all, the plot after that is nothing more than the old-fashioned action movie pipeline. Of course, what Alice cares about is the actor.

   Obviously, this script is tailor-made for Schwarzenegger. Julis is Schwarzenegger, and it can be finalized directly. The main job of the crew is to select another special actor. As for the heroine and other characters, it is undoubtedly all for the brothers. Those girls who are trying in front of the 520 gate are chattering with excitement. It is normal to be happy just to find a role, but if you want to rely on this movie To become famous in one fell swoop is a fantasy.

"What do you think?" Seeing Alice smiling happily, Lawrence was also very satisfied: "In this year, the company hasn't made any profitable movies, and not many well-known directors and actors have joined us. We are still very satisfied. The masterpiece of the department needs to be released quickly."

   For Lawrence's feelings, Alice of course responded with ten thousand points of understanding. For the entire 1980s, it's just that Hollywood blockbusters have regained their prosperous bridgehead, and now it is 1988. Many of the most classic movies of this decade have been made by other film companies. Since Alice spent a lot of money to shoot "Alien II", it is reasonable that Lawrence has not been able to make any blockbusters.

"But I can’t rely on "Dragon Brother and Mouse Brother"~www.readwn.com~ Alice immediately recognized the essence of this movie: "Although Schwarzenegger is helping out, this is not "Terminator II" after all. , With his current fame, it is not enough to make ordinary movies a direct hit. "

"I also want to make a new attempt," Lauren Stein said: "It is just to sign a long-term contract with a well-known actor, just as Schwarzenegger is also trying to transform. He has been making the same kind of movies for these years, first of all, "Hercules In New York, "Destroy the Earth" and "Conan the Barbarian", after "Terminator" became famous, they also filmed "Commander of the Devil" and "Ultimate Warrior"...seriously, Alice, you It sounds like you're vomiting, right?"

"Isn't it!" Alice chuckled: "It would be nice to let Arnold try the transformation. The silly big man in the comedy and the action element bonuses may really make him successful in the transformation. "

"Perhaps." Lawrence calculated: "His action films in the United States have only sold tens of millions at the box office these years. If the transformation in DreamWorks is successful, we and him will be both fame and fortune, and comedy. The cost is not high, and it is not difficult to see where it is to lose money. So..."

  Speaking of this, he looked at Alice and said: "That new movie you are, Jack Nicholson has to play the main villain, what theme is it going to shoot?"

"A dc comic has prepared the theme of the main script for us, with computer blessing, and the effect is definitely not bad." Alice smiled, obviously confident in her proposal: "Let's exclude "Batman". What do you think?" (To be continued.)
