Chapter 651 Two lucky ones

Margot Robbie just turned 17 this month, although this age is closer to the age set by the heroine...

In the drawing room, Anna Prinz stood in front of the projector screen, pointed to a projected picture of an actress, and said, But we all know that if an actor is under 18, the job and some scales are relatively large. Shows will be troublesome.”

Last time, Duke didn't pay much attention to the age of the actors. Anna Prinz made a lot of sense. He gestured to his assistant director to continue.

Anna Prinz nodded to the back of the camera, and an assistant immediately replaced another picture.

Amber Heard has acted in movies and TV series such as Love You Until You Die and Beautiful Ordinary People before, and has a certain performance experience, she turned to look at the posted picture, her The shape is exactly what we wanted, she was born in 1986, and her age is also a big advantage.

Tina Fey, who was sitting next to Duke, said at this time, I also think Amber Heard is suitable for this role.

Seeing that the two who hosted the second audition said so, Duke nodded lightly and said, Then choose her and notify Nancy as soon as possible.

Amber Heard is a contract actor for ICM.

Similarly, Tina Fey and Anna Pritz shared the same opinion on the choice of the male lead, unanimously recommending ICM's newly signed Andrew Garfield to Duke.

Among them, there must be Nancy's favor. This is a normal thing. Duke also believes that his two assistants have determined that Andrew Garfield will play the leading role of Sam.

In addition, other actors who are not very important are also basically finalized, and according to Duke's requirements. Specially recruited Peter Cullen, who dubbed the animated version of Optimus Prime, who dubbed Optimus Prime in the film.

Although the male and female protagonists do not have to undergo strict professional training like Channing Tatum, they must also actively exercise and reserve their physical strength. The two will have a lot of running scenes in the film.

The male and female protagonists have been determined, and the preparations of the crew have also entered a new stage. Duke continued to stay in Los Angeles to control the overall situation, and dispatched John Schwartzman to lead a film crew, with the cooperation of the Pentagon, to some military bases to shoot fighter flights and materials for various advanced weapons required for the film.

It is not easy for Duke to stay in Los Angeles. He needs to constantly communicate with the two special effects teams of Industrial Light and Magic to accurately convey the effects he wants to them. And check each other's experimental works in order to find out the deficiencies in time.

There are also explosion scenes. There will be a lot of explosion scenes in the shooting. Joss Williams' team started the design of the explosion scenes in July, and Duke asked them to go to Las Vegas for a field trip. Some road demolition scenes need to control the power of the explosion. If it really destroys a street in Las Vegas, it is estimated that the casino must go crazy.

Then there are the sponsors, the transformed cars of the Autobots. It was transported by sponsors to the Hughes Aircraft Factory in Los Angeles, where the hangar was also set up. It is mainly used to shoot the scenes inside the Hoover Dam, and the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the Megatron model under construction.

It seems like a good idea to build one at home.

Look at the huge Megatron model at the end of the hangar. Scarlett Johansson's eyes seemed to be shining, I still prefer Megatron to Optimus Prime. I feel that every time the Autobots can win, the director and screenwriter are helping, not that they really have the strength to win.

She turned her head, looked at Duke, and asked, Can the Decepticons win?

Duke just walked around a Chevrolet Camaro sports car, and when he heard Scarlett's words, he said angrily, What do you think?

Scarlett curled her lips, The audience will not agree that the Decepticons will win.

If the Decepticons win, it means that if they get the source of fire, they will transform a large number of Transformers, and human beings will face an extremely cruel situation.

Not many viewers like to see this ending.

For a commercial production to shoot like this, the consequences can be called catastrophic.

Looking away from Megatron, Scarlett walked over to Duke's side, stood with her, and looked at the cars in front of her. In fact, only the transformed Chevrolet Camaro and Jazz were transported here. Transformed Lamborghini.

Of course, Scarlett didn't like a sports car of the Camaro's level, and her eyes quickly fell on the latest version of Lamborghini, looking very interested.

Duke knew that his mentality was on the old side, and he basically had no feeling for cars and the like, but Scarlett was different, she liked cars very much.

In about three days, a high-end Lamborghini of the same model will be shipped to Los Angeles. Duke said slowly, You can just drive it home.

For me? Scarlett laughed.

Well... Duke nodded, I made it for you at Lamborghini.

You didn't order one for yourself? Scarlett came over.

Duke shook his head. I don't like this type of car.

He rarely drives now, and even if he does, it won't be such a high-profile sports car.

Scarlett opened her mouth, but swallowed the words on her lips. She had known Duke for so many years, and she naturally understood what kind of person he was.

Seeing that Duke was about to get back to work again, she said, I won't bother you, I'll go talk to Tina for a while, and come back after get off work.

Time slowly entered October, and the preparations for Transformers gradually entered the final stage. By the end of October, the film was officially launched at Warner Studios. Duke also cooperated with the promotion of Hasbro and Warner Bros. a big press conference.

It has to be said that Transformers has a large number of fans in North America. When the press conference was held, not only nearly 500 reporters crowded into the lobby of the Warner Building where it was held, but also thousands of reporters gathered outside the building. Transformers fans, who held up various versions of the toy, as well as large posters of Duke himself, to show support for the film.

However, I don’t know how many works have been destroyed by Hollywood. There are also a small group of “wires” holding protest signs against the adaptation of “Transformers” into a live-action movie.

There is no shortage of stubborn and conservative people in any country or era, and it is normal for some people to support and others to oppose it.

These will not hinder the normal holding of the press conference.

There are so many reporters out there and I'm nervous right now.

In the lounge on the first floor, Amber Heard kept walking back and forth, I want to take a deep breath, I want to be calm, and I want to act like a mature star!

On the other side, Andrew Garfield sat on the chair and rolled his eyes at Amber Heard's long legs, but didn't say anything. He was also nervous, but he wouldn't show it easily. Showing his best side to the media is a compulsory course for them. He has been studying for a long time under the arrangement of ICM.

The door of the lounge was pushed open from the outside, and Nancy Josephson walked in. She looked at the two actors under her banner and said, It's about to start, remember what I said to you?

Amber Heard and Andrew Garfield nodded at the same time.

Nancy warned again, You don't have to be too nervous, the focus of the media must be on Duke.

As the agent said, after the press conference, Amber Heard and Andrew Garfield found that the media had just asked them a few trivial questions and then threw them all at the film. 's director.

That's just two lucky ones.

In the back row of the reporter's seat, a female reporter said to the photographer, You don't need to put too much energy into them.

The photographer seemed to be a novice and asked in confusion, Why do you say that?

Not to mention a pair of young actors with decent appearance. The female reporter snorted softly and said, Even if a pig is selected by Duke Rosenberg, it will turn red to purple.

Just like what the female reporter said, the media's goal is still focused on Duke's body.

However, Duke has rich experience and is easy to deal with. He will also disclose some content appropriately so that the media can have material for hype reports.

There is no doubt that the protagonist of the film will be Optimus Prime.

Duke didn't shy away from the fact that humans were just a supporting role for the Autobot leader, saying, Optimus Prime is the most popular Transformer, and we love his steady, wise, brave and compassionate personality.

He adjusted the microphone slightly, and then said, In the movie that is about to start shooting, Optimus Prime is in the shape of a 6-wheeled tractor truck head, or a robot shape, and even the deformation process and sound are the same as the animation 20 years ago. The film is the same. The only difference is that the cartoons of the year were created in 2D, while today’s movies are produced in full 3D. With the advanced special effects technology of Industrial Light \u0026 Magic, every deformation action of Optimus Prime can be seen. Clearly.

A reporter stood up and asked, Director Rosenberg, it is said that you will use 3D technology to film Transformers, is this true?

3D technology is not a simple thing to scare children, it can make the audience more engaged when watching a movie, as if they are in the scene. Duke said seriously, I don't want the audience to be watching this. Movies, watching the world of Transformers, but through 3D technology, you can enter this world. It will make a world of difference between watching discs at home and watching in the cinema. I hope 3D technology can attract everyone to the cinema to watch Transformers King Kong.

If you want to let the audience into the theater, you must come up with something that you can't see on the small screen.

Amber Heard and Andrew Garfield were somewhat disappointed by the press conference. It was completely different from what they expected, and the media did not pay much attention to them. Fortunately, the two were not stupid, knowing that after the film was released Everything will change, and the best thing to do now is to devote yourself to the next shooting. (To be continued ~^~)
