Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- The night was hazy, but even though Thanksgiving was only five days away, Brentwood was already in a festive mood, with the coral trees on San Vicente Boulevard shining brightly with lights.
The lights of Ye's house not far away were brightly lit. Ye Wei's room had undergone great changes. Some places where things were originally placed were empty. There were small boxes containing collected comics and toys for sale stacked next to the bed. Overall, It's much neater and neater, and the black stone has been erected against the wall.
At this time, Toto was sleeping soundly at the computer table, while Ye Wei was sitting at the table, looking at the screen and browsing the information on IMDbPRo, while the computer was still playing "Yesterday" by The Beatles.
Most movie fans know what IMDb is, but IMDbPRo is different. This is a professional version serving professional filmmakers.
The pages of each movie and each filmmaker in the professional version, in addition to the general information in the popular version, will also have more detailed professional information, such as contact information, agents, agencies, managers, mailing addresses, etc.; You can also find future schedules, projects under negotiation, personal contract status, etc.
And the fee is reasonable, less than US$200 a year, so it is an indispensable casting tool for current producers, and it is also a must-have for actors to showcase and manage themselves.
Ye Wei¡¯s newly registered account is still in the free trial stage, which makes it even more fun to use. His goal is to find one or more suitable lobbying targets for "Little Miss Sunshine"!
In fact, after Schwarzenegger's "Terminator 3" made a fuss, the salary club for the top superstars in Hollywood is now 25 million. According to Variety Daily's assessment, there are at least ten superstars on the list, plus 20 million, There were about ten or twenty people.
The world's most commercially valuable and powerful actors, a group of winners at the top of the pyramid, travel in luxury cars, live in luxury houses, walk on red carpets non-stop, are pursued by the spotlight every day, and are flattered and produced by film companies. Filmmakers flatter them, fans pursue them
Ye Wei thought, damn it, why is he not interested in working hard to become a big star? How weird!
Maybe it¡¯s because he doesn¡¯t like that kind of living situation. Who is the most popular in Los Angeles and Hollywood? Not a superstar, but a psychiatrist.
Fans chase celebrities, but celebrities chase psychiatrists. The number of psychiatrists here is astonishing, like the ant colony surrounding a queen. An appointment with a well-known doctor needs to be made several months in advance, and each doctor only specializes in seeing A mental illness in which the most common subjects are sadism and low self-esteem.
An incredible fact is that almost every actor has suffered from low self-esteem, and the more famous they are, the more this happens.
They long to be respected, but people often say that they are just lucky. Sometimes even producers and directors say that, "Just finish your damn lines and perform your damn positions well. You can't say anything else." Got it." They also know that they can easily be abandoned by the audience and eliminated by those young and invincible newcomers.
On the other hand, they get the most and are praised to the sky. They are extremely afraid that one day they will suddenly hear "you are no longer popular", and they worry about gains and losses.
As for that kind of celebrity life? At the beginning, everyone was fighting to become famous. Soon after becoming popular, they became tired of the crazy attention from the outside world and tired of the high-paced and high-pressure life. They neither wanted to live like this, nor could they quit, nor did they want to quit, so they became hysterical and tempered. Weird, changeable and irritable, and even became a sadist, venting his hesitation.
Many celebrities can't handle the pressure and go crazy, abuse drugs, or commit suicide. Of course, there are also many celebrities who take drugs and do bad things for no reason, they are just trash and stupid. There are also some celebrities who don't have any psychological problems at all, especially those reality show stars, who hate themselves. There were hundreds of people watching when I went to the restroom.
There are also many celebrities who have handled it very well and have always been as kind as an old woman wearing a sweater.
Anyway, if you want to deal with celebrities, you have to be careful. There is a lesson from the University of Southern California that says, "If a little guy pisses off the stars on the set, you will be the only one who loses his job."
How to make you angry? Like occupying the best parking space, talking next to the RV where the star is resting, daring to stand in front of the star when receiving lunch The set is a place with strict hierarchy.
Ye Wei doesn¡¯t know what the tempers of these superstars are like, but this is not something he has to consider. If a superstar with irritability wants to join, shouldn¡¯t he say no? What needs to be considered is who is the right person to star in "Little Miss Sunshine". To be precise, what role in "Little Miss Sunshine" can impress which superstar.
Of the six main characters in the story, the most attractive ones are undoubtedly the father Richard, the youngest daughter Oliver, and the grandfather. They are the male protagonist, core figure and spiritual mentor. Only these three characters can interest the star, and The heroine¡¯s mother, Cheryl, can also give it a try, just try her luck.
?However, the actors needed for Oliver are around seven years old. There are very few star-level child actors, and there seems to be none that are suitable. Let¡¯s look at adult roles.
First of all, it was Richard. Ye Wei flipped through the script on the table. In the script, this character was described like this when he appeared:
"He wore pleated khaki shorts, a golf shirt and a pair of sneakers. He moved back and forth with the steady and quick pace of a former athlete. His apparent energy and upbeat demeanor only belied The insecurities and frustrations that often boil inside.¡±
Many times, including casting, modeling, art, etc., the script only serves as a reference. Some directors will shoot according to the script, and some directors will make Richard appear in a suit and tie, like a senior white-collar worker. .
This script is questioned for no reason. A large part of the film crew does not like the screenwriter to dictate the script and write these redundant descriptions. This is annoying, like "the insecurity and frustration that often boils inside." , how can the director shoot this? Say it in voiceover? joke.
"The script has no inner thoughts" is the principle of script creation. If you want to express your inner thoughts, express them through specific scenes instead of words.
Ye Wei doesn¡¯t mind the screenwriter¡¯s personal intentions in the script, because it allows him to better understand the story and unleash his own directorial creativity.
According to his feeling, what he wants is a middle-aged man with an upper-middle figure, a confident face but a little irritable, a strong-looking man with tired eyes, a man who is strict with his family but actually loves him deeply. Theirs, losers who are constantly pushed around by society and family without being able to stop and take a breath.
Then as the story progresses, he will show various aspects of being someone else's son, father, stepfather, husband, brother-in-law, so the actor must have multi-faceted acting skills, which can be tough, loving, or humble
"Tom Hanksyes, of course."
Ye Wei wrote the name of the first superstar on the card. His heart jumped and he grinned. Hanks is definitely suitable! If he were to play Richard, I believe he would give an Oscar-worthy performance at the level of Best Actor! It's a pity that it doesn't count if you write it down.
Harrison Ford? No, he¡¯s too handsome, and he¡¯s also too old; Dustin Hoffman is also old, but he can barely play the grandfather; Robert De Niro can also be the grandfather; Al Pacino? His image just doesn't fit the story; Jack Nicholson, a great choice for a grandfather.
Back to Richard, Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, they are all good actors and superstars, but they seem a bit young to Richard.
Those young superstars like Leonardo are even more outrageous; Mel Gibson? His cry of "freedom" was exciting, but this time his temperament was not right, no.
Where¡¯s Cheryl, Julia Roberts? She is too beautiful, but if she is willing to act, if she is not suitable, we can rely on makeup, styling and cameras to adjust her to fit; Cameron Diaz? This is an insulator that cannot be adjusted no matter how hard it is; Sandra Bullock? OK, the acting is top-notch, but he looks too young.
And don¡¯t forget, this is a mother role, not a young mother like in ¡°Never Compromise¡±, but a middle-aged mother with a teenage son and a seven-year-old daughter. What female stars around the world fear most is to be thought of as ¡° She's old", no matter how old James Bond is, a Bond girl will always be young; what about women? "Harold and Maude" was decades ago.
Actresses are afraid of aging, and taking the initiative to play the role of a mother is an act of acknowledging old age. Once you act, you can only continue to age, so this is even more difficult.
"Oh MAN, when will stars be vying to cooperate with me?" Ye Wei muttered, and then couldn't help but laugh. It was really more exaggerated than Lev. He could just ask Meryl Streep to play the beauty pageant. Judge "Ms. Jenkins" of the competition!
But the fact is that each of these people is a big shot. They are no longer in the ranks of the strikeout rule. Even if there are a lot of bad movies, they will still get film appointments. They choose the movies, not the movies that choose them.
With the click of the mouse, Ye Wei closed many actors' pages, stretched, and then clicked on another actor's page. His eyes suddenly lit up and his heart was moved.
