Chapter 528 The richest man among the directors
Rachel, no... this, all this...
In front of the set in the studio, facing Anne Hathaway and Christian Bale who played childhood sweethearts, they seemed to have no idea how to say it. …”
Come here quickly, Bruce.
On the other side of the sports car, two hot blondes shouted to this side, Come on, Bruce, let's go buy some more restaurants.
Anne Hathaway shook her head slightly, grinned and pulled out a reluctant smile, Bruce, you are still the righteous child deep down in your heart, but it doesn't matter who you look down on, what you do matters. .
She turned and walked away.
Cut!
Duke stopped, poked his head from behind the monitor, and praised Bale first, Well done, Christian, keep it up.
Then he beckoned to Anne Hathaway, who immediately came over in high heels.
I... She asked tentatively, Do I have a problem?
Control your smile. Duke said directly without going around in circles, Don't laugh, it will damage the character's image.
Anne Hathaway probably also knew her shortcomings, and said quickly, I will definitely.
Duke nodded, ignored her, and said to an assistant director next to him, Take a five-minute break, then do it again.
Just like in the audition, Anne Hathaway is quite photogenic, but she has to control her smile, otherwise the camera lens that can magnify the shortcomings infinitely will look terrible even to the naked eye.
However, start from entering the crew. Anne Hathaway was very careful and worked very hard. She didn't look like a famous actor at all, but like a newcomer who just climbed up from the bottom.
But no matter what, people who know how to deal with interpersonal relationships and are willing to work hard are relatively popular no matter which crew they are in.
In fact, Duke can guess. This has something to do with Anne Hathaway's more embarrassing situation now.
Princess Diaries made Anne Hathaway, but also limited Anne Hathaway. As a product of Disney's youth idol factory, when she got older, what kind of treatment did she encounter? Anyone who knows Hollywood knows a thing or two. very clear.
Because of its own positioning, Walt Disney is the company that produces the most youth idols in Hollywood. However, the shelf life of youth idols is extremely limited. When young actors and singers are getting older and in urgent need of transformation, Disney will never make a transformation plan for them, but choose to give up and instead create fresher youth idols.
It is also cheaper to do so.
then. After Disney's youth idols grow up, they have become synonymous with depravity. Those who are better off just have their careers stagnant, and those who are not good even make themselves look like ghosts and ghosts...
certainly. The reason can't be entirely attributed to Disney, and their parents!
Youth idols are basically child stars. Most people's parents only see the immediate benefits, but ignore their education. There is one fact that cannot be denied. Education is extremely critical to people's growth. When idols grow up and can no longer eat the bowl of youth and need independence and transformation, they lack sufficient education and knowledge, and once they encounter setbacks, they often go astray.
After all, not everyone is Jodie Foster and Natalie Portman with the same nerves and minds.
The young and famous Disney youth idols are simply synonymous with vulnerability.
Anne Hathaway can be said to be an alternative among Disney's youth idols, and a typical example of very few successful transformations.
In order to succeed in transformation, in addition to talent, opportunity and the courage to break away, one's own efforts are a factor that can never be ignored.
As long as you control it and don't show an ugly smile, with Anne Hathaway's current acting skills, it's not difficult to cope with a role like Rachel Dawes. After two more shots, Duke announced his approval, and then moved to the side, Continue with Anne Hathaway and Christian Bale's rivalry.
The biggest difference is that Bell has changed into a Batman costume.
photography?
OK!
light?
OK!
...
Duke asked about it routinely, and then let the field recorder call to start.
The studio was set up as a dilapidated roof in the Nereus district. Batman had just finished saving Rachel Dawes and was about to turn around and jump downstairs, but she was stopped by her.
Wait! Anne Hathaway stood up and took a step forward. Bell, dressed in a standard bat costume, looked back at him, Hathaway said anxiously, You will die if you go like this, at least let me know. Who are you!
Bell hesitated for a while, and said in a loud voice, It doesn't matter who I am under my appearance, it matters what I do!
After he finished speaking, he turned and jumped downstairs. Anna Hathaway said in surprise, Bruce?
well done!
The two actors were in good shape, and Duke shouted to pass, This one is over!
Afterwards, the actors went to remove their makeup and rest. Duke left the makeshift studio and went to the hangar next to it, where Anna Prinz and Jimmy Carter took part of the stunt performers and filmed Bruce Wayne flying in Gotham City. lens.
In the airport, a green screen was used to set up the shooting location. Except for the stunt performers used for the flight, the backgrounds were all generated using CGI.
The flying action was done with a wire, and the crew hung the camera on the wire and let the stuntman, who replaced Bell as Batman, glide 800 feet in the hangar.
After one day's shooting, all the shots are brought together into Duke's hands. Whether it is shot in person, or by Anna Prinz or Jimmy Carter, Duke will review it again, so that if there are any deficiencies, the first It can be adjusted in two days.
Here today.
In the temporary office, Duke stood up and clapped his palms, reminding everyone, Get off work!
Many people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and packed their things and walked out. Duke and Anna Prinz walked together, discussing tomorrow's shooting plans while walking. As time went on, the unfinished shots became less and less. Liam Neeson, who ended his role, has left the crew ahead of schedule to catch up with other companies.
Walking out of the door of the hangar, the two came out of the make-up trailer next to them, and happened to meet Duke and the others.
Hi, Duke. Hi, Anna.
Anne Hathaway hugged a man and greeted Duke and Duke affectionately.
Hello, Annie. Duke gave her a slight nod.
Stopping, Anne Hathaway took the initiative to introduce to Duke, Duke, Anna, this is Rafael Fleury, my boyfriend. Rafi, this is Director Rosenberg, this is This is his deputy, Miss Prinz.
After her introduction, Duke and Anna Prinz shook hands with the man respectively, and they walked towards the parking lot together.
Anne Hathaway's boyfriend is very chatty, I'm an Italian, mainly in the real estate business.
Rafi is the representative of the Vatican in the United States. Anne Hathaway added.
Oh? Duke couldn't help looking at the man seriously.
The Vatican represents not only religion, but also huge wealth. To be the agent of the Holy See in the United States, her status must be unusual. It is not unreasonable for Anne Hathaway to choose him.
The man named Rafael Fleming smiled and said modestly, It's not a representative, I'm just helping the Holy See with the real estate business in North America.
Duke replied politely, That's amazing too.
Hearing Duke's words, Anne Hathaway opened her mouth wide and laughed, but this look was really ugly in the eyes of other people.
The big-mouthed actress smiles and laughs like the difference between an angel and a devil.
After arriving at the parking lot, Rafael Fleming took out a business card, handed it over with both hands, and said, Director Rosenberg, if you need some historic properties, you can contact me.
If necessary, Duke took the business card and put it away, I will.
Duke and Anna Prinz got into their own cars and drove out of the parking lot of the Hughes Aircraft Factory. They drove in different directions. He went to Burbank first, and took them from the Duke studio. Part of the information before returning to the ducal manor.
Parking his Bentley, Duke walked into the villa with his briefcase, handed the bag and jacket to the housekeeper Emma, walked over to the sofa, and sat opposite Tina Fey who was reading the documents.
I heard that the negotiations have preliminary results? Duke asked.
Tina Fey put down the documents, pushed the document bag on the coffee table to Duke, and said, Steve Jobs agreed in principle to sell the Pixar studio, but the transaction must be carried out in the form of cash and stock exchange.
This result is not expected by Duke, Steve? Jobs dragged on until now, its main purpose is to strive for the greatest interests for himself.
Time Warner also agreed to this deal in the original book, and will also complete the acquisition of Duke Studios in a share exchange. Tina Fey continued, They agreed that our funds would be added to the acquisition of Pixar Studios. And replace it with the corresponding Time Warner shares...
After organizing the language a little, Tina Feicai said again, But the specific amount of the share exchange and the amount of our investment need to be discussed further.
Don't worry. Duke opened the file bag and took a closer look. Talk to them slowly.
A giant media company like Time Warner is very huge, with assets in the hundreds of dollars, but the assets are not liquidity. The liquidity needed by a group company is huge. The cash flow of the pen itself is extremely limited.
In today's Hollywood, everyone agrees that Duke is definitely the richest director than George Lucas. (To be continued ~^~)
