- Due to Ye Wei's family affairs, the crew of "The Lovely Bones" stopped working on the morning of the 8th and resumed work on the afternoon of Saturday the 10th. There will be a make-up day of work tomorrow, Sunday, but even if I fully plan, there will still be one less day of shooting in the already limited shooting days.
The main reason why the crew's shooting plan can be adjusted so "flexibly" is because TLB, like "Soul Surfer", is a non-union sanctioned project. Although its budget is as high as 25 million and it is produced by DreamWorks, it was still warned by the 4a Federation that this is a project where work benefits are not guaranteed.
??For example, if the shooting day from Friday is suddenly moved to Sunday, such as an overtime work system of six days a week. ag has warned Ye Wei sternly many times, but to no avail. This is also because even if a warning letter is received, a large number of union actors still participate in auditions and join viy projects. Sag shouted, "If anything happens, the union won't care! I told you already." The actors said, "Okay, if anything happens, you will be unlucky and join."
The main roles in tlb are very popular, and many well-known actors want to star in them. Once they play, they have half of their feet on the Oscar red carpet, and half of the North American weekly box office crown. This non-union project has bling.
Before Ye Wei took over, tlb was a popular project.
You must know that in the latest "Top Ten Super Best-Sellers in the United States" list, TLB ranks third, the first two are "The Da Vinci Code" and "The Five People You Meet in Heaven", both of which were filmed movie. The former is a blockbuster with a budget of over 100 million starring Tom Hanks. After it was released on May 19, the reviews were terrible, but the box office performance was very good.
Movies adapted from best-selling books often fail to satisfy readers, but they have a guaranteed box office supported by popularity.
¡°A super best-selling book, a good story, a talented director, Spielberg as the executive producer, and Paramount distribution, these are all deeply attracted to the actors.
So there is no situation where the crew works hard to invite the actors they like, but the best candidates are selected from a long list.
But "Mr. Harvey" is not Kevin Spacey. He doesn't want to play a smart pervert anymore, so he joins Stanley Tucci. Tucci's appearance and temperament are very suitable. After makeup, he gave him a 1970s hairstyle, a beard, and glasses, making him look like a gentle man. However, the audience felt at first glance that he was not a good person.
Tucci is indeed an experienced actor. His performance in the audition was so amazing that no one believed him even if he was not a pervert.
This is the second time he has collaborated with Ye Wei after LMS. However, he is not counted as an online person. Only three people in the TLB cast are counted as online. One is "Susie" Elizabeth Olsen, and the other two are Susie's parents "Jack" and "Abigail" ".
What does "Jack" look like? Alice Sebold looks like Ryan Gosling.
If Ye Wei nods, this is not a problem. Gosling is willing to star. The independent film "Half Nelson" starring him was also bought and financed by Ye Wei at Sundance, giving him hope of shining in the awards season.
It¡¯s not that Ye Wei doesn¡¯t appreciate him, but Gosling is too young. He is only 26 years old after his birthday this year, and Liz is 17 years old. Even though he looks older, "Jack" is a young and handsome father. It doesn't look like him to play the role. Together, he looks like Susie's brother.
Of course Gosling can¡¯t do it. The key is his type. His temperament can be very spiritual or very melancholy and decadent. He can interpret the changes in the story stages of tlb.
The last actor chosen for "Jack" was Keanu Reeves.
Speaking of Reeves, everyone who knows him will say "The Matrix". From the 3,000 remuneration for the supporting role in the 1986 screen debut "The Kid" to the 15 million + 15% adjusted gross income share for the second and third parts of "The Matrix" in 2003, from the age of 22 to the current age of 41, he The road to stardom has been a smooth and tortuous two decades.
He joined tlb with a low salary + 5% adjusted gross profit sharing.
It¡¯s not that tlb took advantage. Projects are divided into Hollywood and independent, commercial and artistic, according to industry standards. TLB is an independent literary film, between film and movie. No matter who is acting, no agent will ask for the same salary as a Hollywood commercial film. That's because you don't understand the rules.
Reeves has entered the multi-million salary club since "The Matrix", but 15 million is the peak for the time being, and is still far away from the top of 20 million and 25 million.
Just like the famous film "Speed" (1.2 million salary, 30 million budget, 350 million global box office) was followed by "Special Agent" (2 million salary, 26 million budget, 19.07 million global box office), " After the Matrix series, last year's "Hell Detective", this action thriller blockbuster with a budget of 100 million, only had a North American box office of 0.75 billion/23 billion global box office, and will be classified as being on the verge of failure.
This was a heavy blow to Reeves's value. Instead of going any further, it fell back.
Said he was unluckyProbably not suitable either, but compared to those superstars, he does lack some good luck.
But Reeves is not someone who has an eye for money. He had two movies last year. The other one was the literary independent film "Thumbsucking Man" with a budget of 4 million. Everyone knows that it will not make much revenue, and the share will only be It's just basic treatment, the most important thing is to act in a film.
This year's movie is his partner Sandra Bullock's upcoming "Unreachable Lovers" (budget of 40 million, adapted from a Korean classic film); his film is "The Blind Side Walker" (budget of 8.5 million) , also includes films by Robert Downey Jr., Winona Ryder, and Richard Linklater.
These two movies were filmed last year and the year before last. Now Reeves has no other film appointments except TLB.
For this candidate, Siebold is very satisfied. He is handsome enough, sunny enough but melancholic enough, and his appearance is okay. After Susie¡¯s accident, the makeup look was unshaven and unkempt, which is so sad.
She was a little worried about her performance ability. She had the impression that Reeves was a cool and handsome action star.
Ye Wei is not worried. Although Reeves has not been nominated for an Oscar or a Golden Globe, he has profound acting skills. He has performed before, but he became famous in action movies, and people often forget this.
And isn¡¯t this directed by him? Reeves is capable enough to fulfill his request, leave the rest to him.
At first, the media was in an uproar about Reeves playing "Jack"!
tlb This story was even more emotionally complex for him because in December 1999, his then-girlfriend Jennifer Syme was eight months pregnant and gave birth to a stillborn baby, his daughter Ava Archer. Syme Reeves. Eighteen months later, Syme was killed in a car accident while driving alone.
These are two unsolved cases, both of which are suspected to be related to drugs. It is said that Syme's drug use led to the death of the fetus, so Reeves subsequently broke up with her. In Syme's car, the police found two rolls of US dollars containing white powder and two bottles of prescription drugs. The accident investigation also showed that she was not wearing a seat belt and was driving under the influence. Syme's mother said her daughter had been dealing with back pain and depression before the accident.
No matter what, Reeves has experienced the pain of losing his daughter. In less than 6 years, he doesn¡¯t know if new bones have grown.
In October 1993, his (then 29-year-old) best friend, legendary River Phoenix, died of a drug overdose in Johnny Depp (then 30-year-old)'s private club. Rumors of drug abuse also accompanied Reeves in his early years. It is unclear whether he used drugs or not, but after Phoenix's death, he became "weird".
He played in a band, raced cars, and did many things that were contrary to the mainstream. The following year, "Speed" made him a big success, but his rebellious life style affected his luck and career. This was the reason why films such as "Special Agent" failed. one.
This once-problematic figure is still full of personality. In an exclusive interview with Variety Show, he talked about why he joined tlb. He said: "Because of Ye Wei."
Thinking about it, Reeves doesn¡¯t think viy is bad. Compared to these people, Ye Wei has really not done much bad in the past six months, he has not touched marijuana, and besides, he is only 18 years old. But in the eyes of the media and the public, Ye Wei is a genius. Geniuses have very little room for mistakes. Compared with people like Depp, Phoenix, and Reeves back then, he was out of place.
Both have personalities and are bohemian. Will Ye Wei and Reeves cause something to happen? What about the other personality members?
Media and movie fans are paying close attention to the set of tlb, whose talent and personality are off the charts!
TLB also has different feelings for Rachel Weisz, who plays "Abigail". This 36-year-old thorny British rose just became a mother last month. Her husband is Darren, one of the members of the Talent Series. Aronofsky, director of "Requiem for a Dream."
Although Gu Qiao did not have confinement after giving birth to Ye Wei and Duoduo, he did not give up so quickly, nor did he put down his newborn child to act in a movie.
For Wei Zi, it was nothing. The due date did not affect her acceptance of film appointments. She came back smoothly and quickly after the birth, so that the substitute actors had no chance to appear. She acted in TLB first and then "Blueberry Nights", both of which started shooting in June.
But she was taken care of in the shooting plan. It took more than a week for tlb to shoot before she and Reeves were ready to go to Philadelphia. Because the crew first filmed the scenes with Susie, Mr. Harvey and others, then the Salmon family would arrive one after another, and finally they had to go to other filming locations and studios to shoot the paradise scene in front of the green screen.
Keeping the crew as light as possible is the basis of a good filming schedule, and it also allows Weisz to rest for a few more days. The good news for her son is that the shooting period of TLB is very short, while Wong Kar-wai's movies take a long time to shoot, and "Blueberry Nights" did not call for Wei Zi.
She is also a person full of personality, CambridgeA talented girl who graduated from college, Keira Knightley and other British-style actresses of the younger generation all call her senior sister.
Her tlb film contract only had remuneration and no share, which was better than "Blueberry Nights" with a budget of only 10 million.
Wei Zi¡¯s career has been generally strong in recent years, and she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress this year. However, last year¡¯s ¡°Hell Detective¡± also dealt a blow to her. tlb will be her third time starring opposite Keanu Reeves, in addition to her first Hollywood movie "Chain Reaction" (1996).
The two people's on-screen matching reaction has long been certified by the industry. This time they team up again to star in a feature film, which makes media fans very much look forward to it.
There are many Chinese elements in the cast of tlb. Although it should not be released in mainland China, it is still frequently reported by Chinese media.
The first is Ye Wei, who plays the role of "Thunder"; the second is Kelsey Zhou, who is 1/2 Chinese; the third is Reeves, who is 1/8 Chinese, which comes from the fact that he is half Chinese and half Hawaiian grandmother. He once said: "When I was growing up, I was surrounded by Chinese art, furniture and food."
The fourth is "Grandma" Susan Sarandon. This 60-year-old Oscar-winning actress of the older generation (winner once, nominated 4 times) is not of Chinese descent, but a China expert.
There were many people who were born in her era, had a rebellious temperament, and were influenced by the cross-cultural movement and had spiritual sustenance for Eastern culture, but not many pursued it like she did. After entering Case Western Reserve University, she majored in Chinese and learned how to He can speak, read and write, loves Chinese culture and Buddhism, and has a certain understanding of it.
She also loves table tennis. She is the co-owner of the New York Table Tennis Club and is planning to open a branch in Toronto. One of the conditions she told Ye Wei for joining was: "I want to bring a table tennis table to the set, and we can play a few games when we have time."
"I don't know how to play table tennis." Ye Wei was speechless at that time. He has touched a table tennis racket no more than 10 times since he was a child. He likes running sports.
¡°If you know how, I won¡¯t fight you.¡± Sarandon said.
It is natural for the heroine of "Thelma and Louise" and a benchmark for individual women to join tlb. She is the grandmother in Sebold's heart. When the crew sent out the invitation, they basically hit it off immediately. She just had some doubts about the way Mr. Harvey died, and she preferred the Buddhist karma in the original work.
"It's not that I don't like Karma, it's just that I don't like the movie." Ye Wei answered her.
Of course, Sarandon finally signed the film contract out of interest in the story and viy.
TLB's cast is already luxurious enough, and there is no need to spend more money on it. Other candidates are actors from Philadelphia and New York, such as Buckley's children and eldest children, Officer Fennemont, and Lindsey's boyfriend. Most of these supporting roles or supporting roles, such as Muir and Clarissa's boyfriend Brian, are unknown or even acting in movies for the first time.
In addition, there are five talent show girls with different backgrounds: Saoirse, Mody, Dakota, Kelsey, and Margot.
And as Saturday the 10th entered the afternoon, the set of "The Lovely Bones" welcomed back director Ye Wei.
