Hollywood Lover Chapter 304

   But Orlando made Annie hesitate. She didn't think it would be a wise decision to cast someone who had never actually acted in a film before. So Anne made it a point to see Orlando. This is how the current situation happened.

  Annie looked Orlando up and down, and soon, her eyes lit up, she nodded from time to time, and said, "Very good, Director Smith, I have to admit that your vision for choosing actors is really admirable."

   "Thank you for your compliment. If there is no problem, let's discuss the issue of the two female characters." After the two almost hastily decided on Orlando as the protagonist, Zhang Dongcheng said to Anne again.

  The two heroines Zhang Dongcheng in the original drama of Brokeback Mountain need not think about it. Anne Hathaway was born in 1982 and is only sixteen years old now, just at the age of school. Besides, it is not appropriate to cast a sixteen-year-old girl as a wife.

   As for Michelle Williams, another character, she is two years older than Anne Hathaway. She was born in 1980 and is only eighteen years old now. The role of mother is really a bit too challenging, Zhang Dongcheng doesn't think she can interpret the connotation of the role now. Therefore, both female characters have to be replaced.

   As for who to replace, then you need to discuss it with Ms. Annie.

   "I don't know much about movies. Director Smith, you can make up your own mind on this issue!" Annie didn't overreach Zhang Dongcheng's decision.

  Even if it's the protagonist's problem this time, it's because Orlando really doesn't have any shooting experience, which gave Annie the idea of ​​meeting him in person. You know, Jack Drizzt is the well-deserved protagonist in Brokeback Mountain!

  The role of Jack Twist, in Brokeback Mountain directed by Ang Lee, is played by Jack Gyllenhaal.

  After the news of his decision to star in "Brokeback Mountain" came out, he was considered by Hollywood industry insiders as the "stupidest decision" he had made, and predicted that it might lead to the end of his career.

   It can be seen that Brokeback Mountain itself is not favored by others, and now Zhang Dongcheng himself has a homosexual scandal. It is conceivable that when this news leaks out, there will be a lot of trouble.

  When Zhang Dongcheng heard the words, his heart became active. At this stage, which actresses in Hollywood are suitable for these two roles.

   There are two main female characters in Brokeback Mountain. They are the wives of two actors. Wife of Jack Drizzt, Alma, wife of Lureen and Ennis Delmar.

  Although one of these two is the heroine and the other is the supporting actress, in front of the earth-shattering love of these two men, they are just a foil.

   Ennis Delmar's wife Alma, the inner world of this character is very complicated. It takes an actor with superb acting skills to interpret it. First of all, she and Ennis are old acquaintances. Later, she became Ennis' bride and gave birth to a daughter for Ennis. However, due to poor life, she kept taking care of the family while working. She also discovered the love between Ennis and Jack in the corner of her home, which made Alma's heart miserable, and finally chose to divorce Ennis.

   Such a period of psychological change, if it is just a vase role, will undoubtedly ruin the entire Brokeback Mountain.

  At this time, Zhang Dongcheng was shocked to find that he knew too few actresses who were good at acting.

   Zhang Dongcheng's mind kept flashing one after another actresses with superb acting skills in Hollywood at this stage. Soon, he had a general idea in his mind, Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, Liv Tyler.

  These three actors can probably interpret the role of Alma.

  Jennifer Aniston, born in California on February 11, 1969, is an American film and television actress, producer, director, and producer.

   Aniston started filming in 1990. In 1994, she became popular due to her performance of "Friends". In 1995, she was selected as the first person of the year by American Entertainment Weekly, and was selected as the "Sexiest Woman in the World" for 16 consecutive years.

  In terms of appearance, she has an appearance that is not inferior to that of vase actors.

   In 2003, she starred in the independent film "The Girl Who Watched in the Rye", and won the Best Actress Award at the Hollywood Film Festival for her performance in the film. Also in this year, Aniston topped the Forbes list of the world's most powerful celebrities.

  From this point of view, her acting skills will not be bad. Although it was two years earlier than when she won the award, Aniston may still be a little green now, but at least she has such potential.

   But the main reason, Zhang Dongcheng vaguely remembers that Aniston seems to have fallen in love with Brad Pitt this year, and the wedding was held in Mabry Beach, California in 2000.

  If the two of them were to act as a couple in Brokeback Mountain, even if they acted in their true colors, they shouldn't be wrong there.

   It's just that after Alma later found out that her husband was in love with other men, that painful and struggling relationship may still be a bit difficult for her now.

   As for Julia Roberts, in terms of acting skills, she definitely surpasses Aniston. Born on October 28, 1967 in Julia, Georgia, USA, she is a famous actress in Hollywood. She has been nominated for Oscars many times, and at the 73rd Oscar, she even won the Best Actress crown in one fell swoop and was successfully crowned queen. It can be seen that her acting skills can definitely meet the needs of the role of Alma.

  The last Liv Tyler, she doesn't have any impressive award-winning resume, only a few nominations for MTV Movie Awards and Teen Choice Awards.

   She participated in the end of the world that was released not long ago. At the same time, she is also the elf princess in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

  Suddenly, Zhang Dongcheng only thought of these three actors. Originally, Angelina Jolie should also be a very suitable choice, but it is a pity that she has already followed Wu Yusen to shoot Bourne Shadow, and the schedule cannot be missed.

  Of course, there must be more than this few characters needed in Brokeback Mountain, but it is impossible to become fat in everything, step by step step by step is the right way.

   "Mr. Smith, it's getting late, so there's nothing else to do, I'll go first!" Anne Proulx looked at the watch on her wrist.

  Hearing the words, Zhang Dongcheng nodded, stood up, and said, "Okay, then, Ms. Anne, I will prepare the crew as soon as possible. I hope you can join the crew by then."

After all, Anne Proulx is the author of the original screenplay of Brokeback Mountain. Maybe she doesn't know much about movies, or it can be said that she doesn't know anything about movies, but from the emotional line of Brokeback Mountain, as the original author, she is definitely better than Zhang Dongcheng had a deeper understanding.

  With her participation, she can also point out some of Zhang Dongcheng's omissions.

   After sending off Annie. Zhang Dongcheng returned to the office.

  Orlando and Adaman are getting together, watching with the script of Brokeback Mountain just written, and the faces of the two are very dignified. Especially Orlando, this guy's eye circles are a little red, obviously moved by this story.

  Even Adaman, who has always been careless and heartless, looks a little sad at the moment.

   "Okay, guys, I think we should clean up Orlando now, and we'll talk about the rest later, how about it?" Zhang Dongcheng clapped his hands and interrupted Orlando and Adaman's reading.

   Adaman and Orlando, who were immersed in the script, came back to their senses.

Adaman said to Zhang Dongcheng with a moved face: "Oh! Smith! I finally understand why you want to make such a movie. You are right. There is not only Jack on the Titanic in this world And Ruth is true love!"

  Zhang Dongcheng's expression was a little strange. Looking at the two sad men in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a little worried. These two guys won't see Brokeback Mountain, what will they really do from now on?

  If these two people are really broken because of this movie, then I'm really guilty!

   Little did he know that Zhang Dongcheng was slandering him in his heart at this moment, and Adaman and Orlando were discussing how moved they were by the comprehension in Brokeback Mountain.

  Leaving aside the theme of homosexuality, Brokeback Mountain is indeed a rare love movie. The sincerity, delicacy, and touch that touch the deepest part of the human heart are regardless of national boundaries, races, or even genders!

  Even if Adaman and Orlando are not sentimental Wenqing, they are still moved by this story, which shows the success of Brokeback Mountain.

  In fact, Zhang Dongcheng still doesn't know that Orlando may be on the road of no return for homosexuality. Perhaps Brokeback Mountain would be a factor in his change in sexual orientation.

Speaking of which, Orlando's experience is really somewhat similar to the two male protagonists in Brokeback Mountain. Since he became famous, he has never revealed his sexual orientation. He married the supermodel Miranda Kerr in 2010. A son was born.

  But in 2013, the two divorced in lightning speed. The outside world has different opinions on the reasons for their divorce, but no one has been able to find the real reason.

   It was later rumored that Orlando divorced Miranda Kerr because of cheating, but the cheating object was a man. Viggo Mortensen. The two met while filming The Lord of the Rings, and Orlando said many times that Vigo is a life mentor. Then, Orlando, who found true love, abandoned his wife and son...

  Of course, whether it is true or not is still unclear, so just treat it as a joke.

   Zhang Dongcheng, who is still unclear about all this, just maliciously slandered the two of them in his heart.

   "Okay, buddy, it's time for us to go!" Zhang Dongcheng stepped forward to stop Orlando and Adaman's shoulders, and carried them towards the outside of the office.

  In the beginning, when Zhang Dongcheng left the UK to go to Hollywood to develop, he once got together with Orlando and others. He didn't expect that two or three years would pass so quickly.

  This time for Orlando to clean up the dust, apart from the protagonist Orlando, there are only four people, Zhang Dongcheng, Adaman, Andy and Jack.

  Jason Statham is currently filming The Matrix 2 in Australia. And the others followed the crew, not knowing where they were on the earth. There are only a few people like Zhang Dongcheng who have time to come out.

  After a welcome drink, Zhang Dongcheng and others who drank too much had a rest in the company all night.

  Early the next morning, after waking up, Zhang Dongcheng was busy with the casting of Brokeback Mountain.

   In the movie Brokeback Mountain, there are about ten roles that require serious selection of actors. Among them, the two male protagonists and their wives accounted for four.

   Shepherd Joe Aguirre can be handed over to Andy. I believe that Andy, who has practiced so many times, can definitely satisfy himself.

As for the two heroines, Zhang Dongcheng has asked someone to contact Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, and Liv Tyler. If there is no accident, these two characters should be from the three of them. Picked up. As for the remaining one, she can still play the role of Ennis' daughter.

   While Zhang Dongcheng was thinking about the task of filming, there was a knock on the door, which made Zhang Dongcheng frowned suspiciously.

   "Please come in!" Zhang Dongcheng had to temporarily put down his thoughts and prepared to entertain the next visitor.

  After the door opened, Adaman walked in with Brad Pitt.

   "Hi! Smith, good morning!" Brad Pitt waved his hand towards Zhang Dongcheng, and said, "Smith, I heard the script has been written, right?"

   Zhang Dongcheng looked at Brad Pitt curiously. You know, there is still some time before the filming starts. What is this guy doing so enthusiastically?

With some curiosity in his heart, Zhang Dongcheng asked: "Brad, the movie is still under preparation. There are at least ten days before the shooting. I think you'd better go with Adaman during this time." Learn to ride a horse, knowing that your character is a cowboy who is a good rider!"

   "Oh! Don't worry about that. I know how to ride. Even if I start shooting now, I don't have any problems!" Brad Pitt almost patted his chest to assure him.

  Zhang Dongcheng shrugged indifferently, and said, "Okay, then what do you want to do when you come to see me?"

"Of course, it's like this!" Brad Pitt touched his nose a little embarrassedly, and said, "Smith, I want to recommend an actor to you. Her acting skills are not bad, and she started acting in the 1990s, but speaking of her You can't be considered a movie actor!"

  Seeing Brad Pitt's shyness, Zhang Dongcheng was a little surprised immediately,

  It can't be such a coincidence, can it? !

   If I guessed correctly, Brad Pitt should recommend Jennifer Aniston to himself, right?

   Sure enough, what Brad Pitt said next confirmed Zhang Dongcheng's guess. "I think you've heard her name. Her name is Janis Aniston!"

"Oh! Damn it!" Zhang Dongcheng stood up from the chair in a jerk. You must know that he was thinking about this issue just now, and Brad Pitt was among the actresses he was thinking of. little lover.

   "Smith?" Brad Pitt didn't expect that he just wanted to help Aniston. Who knew that Zhang Dongcheng would have such a big reaction when he just mentioned her name in front of Zhang Dongcheng.

   "Oh! Sorry!" Zhang Dongcheng quickly realized that his reaction just now could easily be misunderstood. After all, Brad Pitt just made a suggestion to you, and if you say hell, you will be suspicious of anyone.

"Peter. You know what? We were thinking about going together. I was thinking about actresses. Before you came in, I just thought of Aniston. I didn't expect you to come in and tell me to recommend him! Oh, God, I will wonder if you can read minds! Don't tell me that you, like Professor X, can read minds, then I need to buy a Magneto helmet!”

  After making a joke, Zhang Dongcheng saw the smile on Brad's face, and he understood that what happened just now didn't make Brad Pitt really misunderstand anything.

"Smith, I'm a little surprised too!" Brad Pitt shrugged, and said with some embarrassment: "Aniston has filmed three movies so far, and none of them are very good. I thought you wouldn't I will think of her!"

   I didn't expect Brad Pitt to come together with Aniston now. Zhang Dongcheng smiled and shook his head, and said: "Peter, I just think her image is more suitable for the role. But she still has to go through the audition to satisfy me, otherwise I won't agree!"

   Brad Pitt nodded immediately when he heard the words. He said sternly: "Smith, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you! At the same time, I also believe that Aniston will never let you down!"

   Don't think that Americans don't just go through the back door and don't show friendship at all. It's just that this kind of favor transaction in the United States is closer to the ancient Chinese practice of gathering talents and not avoiding relatives, which focuses on serious business. In other words, they are more able to distinguish clearly, and that approach can get greater benefits.

   Just like now, as long as the person recommended by Brad Pitt can meet Zhang Dongcheng's requirements and make his Brokeback Mountain a success, Zhang Dongcheng will not care whether Aniston got the role through a serious audition.

   In China, favor transactions have gone bad. Instead, favors are the most important thing. As long as you have a good relationship, no matter whether the person you recommend is suitable or not, you can be placed there. In many cases, this approach will be a bad thing.

   "OK! So, where is Miss Aniston now?" Zhang Dongcheng asked impatiently.

  Brad Pitt understands Zhang Dongchen's urgency very well, but he has heard that Zhang Dongcheng plans to use this movie to compete for next year's Oscar. It's already September now, if you don't hurry up, then the plan will be miscarried

   "She's waiting for me at the front desk now!" Brad Pitt said awkwardly. Although he is in his thirties, Brad Pitt, who rarely helps others through the back door, still feels a little embarrassed when he does this kind of thing himself.

   "Then what are we waiting for?" Zhang Dongcheng picked up the copied script, stood up, and said, "Let's go. Go and see how Miss Aniston's acting skills are!"

   "Well, Smith, wait for me here for a while, I'll call her over right away!" Brad Pitt stopped Zhang Dongcheng's idea of ​​going to Aniston himself.

  Although he didn't know why, Zhang Dongcheng still listened to him once.

After Brad Pitt left, Adaman looked at Zhang Dongcheng curiously, and asked, "Smith, you don't really want to choose that Aniston, do you? I know, she's just a TV actress, you Do you really believe that she can play those two crucial female roles well?"

There are two reasons why Adaman asked this question. The first is naturally because he doesn't want Zhang Dongcheng to act emotionally. Second, after reading the script of Brokeback Mountain, Adaman has been completely attracted by the story. He didn't want Zhang Dongcheng to ruin this work because of his personal senses.

"Adaman, I understand what you mean, but we have to give Pete some face, don't we?" Zhang Dongcheng leaned back on the chair with a smile, and said, "Besides, I really have this idea. Originally, I planned to contact Anji Lena Jolie's, but you know, she's on Bourne Bourne with John Woo right now, and it's impossible to move the schedule. Then I have to choose someone else."

   "Okay." Adaman nodded reluctantly, accepting the reason given by Zhang Dongcheng.

  For the characters depicted in the text, especially the characters they like, people will always add all the good things to her, and Adaman is like this now.

  He has a deep impression of Brokeback Mountain in his heart. When it comes to casting, he always feels that there will be a gap between any actor playing the role because of his own emotional reasons.

  Brad Pitt came back soon, followed by a woman with long blond hair draped over her shoulders, a tight black T-shirt, and a pair of shorts underneath. A pair of high heels on the feet.

   "Smith!" After arriving in the office, Brad Pitt smiled at Zhang Dongcheng: "This is Aniston, Jennifer Aniston. I think you should have read her Friends!"

  Zhang Dongcheng nodded. His eyes turned up and down on Aniston's body. I have to admit that Aniston, who is only 28 years old now, is indeed very beautiful and charming.

  But maybe the Rachel Green she played in Friends is too popular. Anyway, when Zhang Dongcheng saw her, the first thing he thought of was Rachel Green in Friends.

   Zhang Dongcheng's heart moved, maybe it would be very suitable for Aniston to play Lullyn Newsom. Her temperament does not match the feeling of Alma, that is, Ennis' wife.

   Withdrawing his gaze, Zhang Dongcheng stretched out his hand and said, "Miss Jennifer, hello!"

   "Director Smith, hello!" Aniston's voice was very crisp, completely different from the feeling in the TV series.

  After shaking hands, Zhang Dongcheng flipped through the printed script, found the section about Lurene Newsom, handed it to her and said, "Miss Jennifer, please read the short script first."

   While Aniston was reading the script, Zhang Dongcheng closed his eyes and began to fantasize about Aniston's role as Louryn Newsome. He felt more and more that this role was very suitable for Aniston.
