Hollywood superstars: Start as a child star

Looking for a Female Director

In its previous life, the success of “The Twilight Saga” was largely due to its nearly all-female production team.

From the director, assistant director, photographer to the person in charge of Fuhua Road, they are all women. Precisely because they are women, they know what kind of men are most popular with women, and what kind of men under the lens can best arouse women’s desire and favor.

Instead of the traditional male movie perspective, men self-righteously show off their muscles and so-called sex appeal to attract women’s attention. Only women understand women’s preferences and can touch that G-spot.

…

Claire told Roxy her plans.

“What, you want to create “Twilight” with an all-female team?” Roxy couldn’t understand Claire’s decision for a while. “Your decision makes me a little confused and I don’t understand the meaning of it. Even if you plan to make a film from a female perspective, there is no need to go to all the trouble of requiring an all-female production team. In the past, there have been many excellent female films , are all the works of male directors and photographers?”

Roxy couldn’t understand, this is actually normal. First of all, men still dominate the mainstream in Hollywood, controlling many important positions such as directors and producers. Secondly, it is not uncommon for male directors and screenwriters to produce excellent films about women, and the works they have completed are equally excellent.

Moreover, Claire is still a real man and a beneficiary of vested interests. What if Claire were a radical feminist and demanded an all-female cast to shoot the movie. This Roxy can understand that this has political demands, which is normal~

“Roxy, I want the ultimate! There are differences between men and women after all, and they always like different things. Especially in Details and casual corners. So I want to experiment!” Claire explained to Roxy the difference between the female perspective and the male perspective.

“Okay, I won’t stop you. Anyway, the investment is not big, just 30 million US dollars, you can do whatever you want~” Roxy finally compromised. Today’s 30 million, Claire can still easily come up with it. He took advantage of the Internet bubble in 2001 and took the opportunity to buy a large number of high-quality Internet assets at the bottom, and even Roxy also gained a lot from the stock market.

Damn it, finance is really a lucrative industry. If Claire was any lazier, he wouldn’t even want to make a movie. The money he earns now is enough to live on for two lifetimes.

“Roxy, just agree! I have to ask you to help me find all these team members!” Claire begged. In terms of connections in this circle, she was still a bit newer than Roxy.

“Hey~ Female directors, female photographers, female producers, it’s a bit hard to find! I have to work hard!” Roxy felt that this task was quite tricky.

Yes, currently the proportion of female directors in Hollywood is only about 4 or 5%, and there are even fewer female photographers. And you can’t just look at gender, you have to be capable to do the job.

“Roxy, please take your time to find it, don’t be in a hurry. I have to finish filming “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” before I can officially prepare for the “Twilight Saga” movie.” … ”

Pirates

of the Caribbean 2 ” “The Lost Soul” begins in the small Caribbean country of Dominica. It is precisely because of this country’s backwardness and primitiveness that it has displayed the style of the Caribbean for more than 200 years.

This time, Claire was completely shocked by the Disney scene. Disney brought more than 700 people, chartered a flight from Los Angeles to the Dominican Republic, and hired more than 500 local Dominicans.

Claire almost felt welcomed by the entire country, and even the president came to the set to express his condolences. They look forward to the arrival of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie crew this time to boost the local economy and promote the development of the tourism industry. From the president and congressmen to the common people, everyone gave them unlimited welcome.

Is this the treatment you get from the United States? Claire almost lost herself in the adulation. It’s really scary. It’s not surprising that Americans have developed such a arrogant and arrogant mentality. Others have got them used to it!

During the filming of the crew, Claire even more experienced the luxurious and enjoyable nature of the American people. Every week, food is flown in from the continental United States to feed the crew. The catering department has to prepare three meals a day for 780 to 840 people. Breakfast alone requires 1,100 to 1,500 eggs, 100 to 160 pounds of bacon, 80 loaves of bread, 50 pounds of sausages, more than 10 boxes of fruit, etc.

Compared with the filming experience of “Pirates of the Caribbean 1”, the shooting experience this time has improved by more than one and a half stars.

The ultra-luxurious production crew, which boasts an investment of up to 250 million US dollars, really shocked the entire Dominican Republic. In 2001, the GDP of the entire Dominican Republic was only 20 billion U.S. dollars. The investment of the “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” crew accounted for 1% of the entire country, which is really unimaginable to the locals.

…

“How’s it going, Roxy? Have you found a suitable director?” Claire asked during a break in filming. Other majors such as costume and prop masters have already found suitable candidates, but now the most important thing is to find the director!

Claire has the impression that there are only a handful of female directors in Hollywood.

Sofia Coppola? Let’s count one, but my father is the famous director of the “Godfather” trilogy, Francis Coppola. I come from a pure artistic family, so I guess I can’t stand the movie scripts of a little girl like us…

Kathryn Bigelow? This is Cameron’s ex-wife. She once defeated her ex-husband Cameron’s “Avatar” with her small-budget film “The Hurt Locker” at the Oscars. Only then did Claire know her name. After this battle, Catherine finally became famous, and she took off her hat as ‘Cameron’s ex-wife’!

There are other things… Without systematic help, Claire really doesn’t know.

…

“We haven’t found a suitable candidate yet…” Roxy’s reply was a bit ethereal, probably because of the cross-border phone call. “I found a few female directors, but they are good at literary and critical themes, and are not interested in such sterile idol themes… There are also some who are interested, but they don’t even have decent works on their hands, and they have only directed a few A short film. Although the investment scale of our film is not as high as that of “2: Dead Man’s Chest” that you are currently filming, it is still beyond the control of a fledgling director…” “Yes, indeed!” Claire agreed

. Roxy’s statement. This movie is indeed not for rookie directors to practice their skills. This time they need an experienced director to control the set and shooting rhythm.
