Chapter five hundred and eighteen a piece of white
Christian...
In the living room of the apartment, a dress-up agent looked at his client and said, It's time to make a decision.
Leaning on the high-back chair, Christian Bale tapped the table with the fingers of his right hand, next to two scripts, two different types of scripts, one cut film and one commercial film.
Charles Rowan just called me. The agent said again, The crew can't wait for you indefinitely.
Christian Bale looked at the two scripts, but was still hesitant.
The first one is from a director who can barely count as a second-tier director. He tells about magic, even if it is just a script, you can see a very strong personal style,
The second one comes from one of the top directors in Hollywood and even the world, a new episode of Batman, a film with a very strong commercial flavor.
Under normal circumstances, he would definitely choose the first one, which is the type he likes very much.
But the problem is, the situation now is extraordinary.
What does Duke Rosenberg mean, Christian Bale is very clear, and this book is also strong in personal style, and the dark reality mixed in the text is blowing in the face, which has never been achieved in previous superhero movies. .
I haven't made up my mind yet, Christian Bale said.
The preparatory shooting dates for the two films almost overlapped, and it was impossible for him to take over at the same time. Moreover, to play Batman, he had to go through a long period of physical training with a large amount of exercise, so there was no energy to take care of other things.
He is very calm, but the agent is anxious. Which agent doesn't want to have a few A's or super A's under him, who wants to be an agent for second- and third-tier actors for a lifetime.
Chris! he said extremely solemnly, the person who invited you is Duke Rosenberg!
Ten years ago, you had the opportunity to change your destiny! The agent stared at Bell closely. You almost became the hero of Titanic! Become the current Leonardo DiCaprio! That opportunity was missed, we waited so many years, you are still only in the independent film circle Spinning around in small productions, do you want to stay in this chaotic circle forever?
He added, If your target is Daniel Day-Lewis, I have nothing to say.
Christian Bale definitely doesn't want to be that kind of actor. The agent knew this very well, otherwise he would have terminated the contract long ago.
But the Nolan brothers' script... Christian Bale was still hesitating.
The agent stopped going around in circles and said directly, One is Christopher Nolan, director of niche cut films, and the other is director of mainstream films, Duke Rosenberg. Even a fool knows how to choose!
He stood up, a slight disappointment on his face. If you just want to be a little actor, Chris, I won't say anything more.
One is to continue to suffer in the independent circle, and the other is likely to be infinite fame and fortune. How to choose?
Hollywood is not without such outliers as Daniel Day Lewis. But there are very few. Although Christian Bale has some special ideas, he has never left the category of Hollywood actors and entered this circle of actors. How many are really in pursuit of art?
This is a dream machine and a factory of fame and fortune.
Christian Bale slowly closed his eyes. There are many names that come to mind, Keanu Reeves, Nicolas Cage, Will Smith, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, etc., these people are all with Duke Rosenberg In the cooperation with grid, both life and career have taken a great step forward.
He is a child star. Having worked with Steven Spielberg, I once tasted the taste of becoming popular, which is a feeling of intoxication and intoxication.
How many years has he not tasted this taste? Is he really willing to hone in the independent film circle? It's just that the mainstream business circles simply don't like him, an actor who has no market appeal!
Tomorrow, the Batman crew will officially confirm the audition candidates...
Hearing the agent's words, Christian Bale finally made up his mind. Although he hesitated, hesitated, and hesitated, it was not difficult to choose between Christopher Nolan and Duke Rosenberg. ?
I'm going to audition for Bruce Wayne.
People who want to audition for Batman are everywhere in Hollywood. This is a society that worships successful people, and Hollywood is a circle that worships successful people. Countless companies and actors would rather follow the bad projects of successful people than go with them. Spend an extra half-minute on newcomer projects that seem creative.
Because Duke left Los Angeles to inspect the location, Charles Rowan and Anna Prinz temporarily became the heads of the crew. In just a few days, they became gods in the eyes of several agencies and countless agents. Hollywood knows that Duke doesn't care too much about trivial matters, and he is willing to appropriately delegate his power to the people below, some minor roles and even important supporting roles. Both of them have the right to make decisions.
There was a soft knock on the door, Anna Prinz called to come in, and a blond girl at most twenty years old pushed the door and walked in.
She walked across the desk and greeted skillfully, Hi, Anna, it's been a long time.
Anna Prinz quickly gave her to the seat opposite, Scarlett, why do you have time to come here.
I'm here to sign up for the audition. Scarlett Johansson was also polite, sitting on the chair carelessly, pointing to the ceiling, My agent has gone upstairs to find Charles Rowan.
Are you going to audition? Anna Prinz asked curiously.
The heroine! Scarlett said of course, I think my conditions are suitable.
Anna Prinz glanced at her. As Duke's deputy, she vaguely knew some things, as if the starting point of the cold war between her boss and her girlfriend was on her.
She didn't want to mix these things, and said directly, Scarlett, you know, I don't have the right to decide this kind of role.
Well... Scarlett nodded. The decision is in Duke's hands. I came here to say hello.
She looked at her watch, It's almost time, don't bother you anymore, it's time for me to leave.
Goodbye, Scarlett.
Goodbye, Anna.
Walking out of Anna's office, Scarlett did not meet her agent, but sat in the hall of the studio and waited for a while. A few minutes later, a car horn sounded outside. She got up and looked through the window, and then Quickly left the Duke's studio.
Pulling open the door of the sky blue sports car, Scarlett said, You're late.
There is a traffic jam on the road. Sofia Coppola started the car and drove onto the road leading to Beverly Hills. When she left the busy road, she suddenly asked, What do you want to do, Scarlett?
Looking at Sophia's frowning brows, Scarlett couldn't help but say, Hey, Sophia, we're all one!
Are you really going to make a vase in a Duke movie? Sophia turned to look at her, turned the steering wheel, and the car stopped in front of a roadside restaurant, This is not a joke.
Am I joking? Scarlett unbuckled her seat belt and looked at Sophia, I have decided to give up the literary style and go the commercial route.
Sofia Coppola sighed, Honey, is it worth it?
Haven't you heard a word? Scarlett said seriously, What you can't get is always the best.
Not to mention the already famous Scarlett Johansson, in terms of heroines, the crew has entered the agents of many well-known actresses, such as Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Garner, Amy Adams, Rachel McAdams, Katie Holmes, etc., they all know that as long as they become the heroine of a Duke film, they can become the focus of attention in the United States and even the whole world without any wonderful performance.
In addition, Duke named Gary Oldman, Michael Caine and Lawrence Fishburne all accepted the invitation to audition.
But Duke won't be auditioning for the first time, and he's still on location in Iceland.
Although the temperature in Iceland in July is not too low, thick down jackets are still necessary equipment when walking on glaciers and high-altitude areas.
The Vatnajökull Glacier visited by Duke and his party is located near the city of Horth in southeastern Iceland, covering an area of 8,300 square kilometers. It is not only the largest glacier in Iceland, but also the largest glacier in Europe, second only to the Antarctic glacier and the Greenland glacier. .
Walking on the vast ice sheet, you can hear the wind whistling by your ears, and from time to time you can see hot springs formed by geothermal heat. This place is like a virgin land far away from human society. The landscape can easily bring people the enjoyment of beauty.
John... Standing on a raised plateau, Duke pointed to the vast ice field and said to his director of photography, Be sure to take a close-up of the big panorama, the scenery here is even better than I thought.
Two ways to shoot and shoot. John Schwartzman looked from afar, and then mixed it together.
It's a good idea.
Duke patted John Schwartzman on the shoulder and said to the accompanying Icelandic government staff, Let's go to the mountain and see.
It looks like a plain, but it is actually a bowl-shaped highland. There are many towering mountains around the Vatnajökull Glacier, some of which can exceed 6,000 feet above sea level.
Sitting in the car, Duke and his party drove towards the distant mountain peaks. Along the way, they were greeted by an overwhelming white, the ground was white, and the sky was white. That flat, endless, boundless white miracle is almost domineering, and it is a wonder on earth.
The scene of the glacier is cold, cruel, and extremely primitive. Being in it, people are in awe, as if entering a time tunnel...
This fits in with the atmosphere at the beginning of the film! (To be continued ~^~)
