The Best Director

Chapter 150 Invitation and Promise

Wait, I'm a teacher, I have a wife and children, K, in the bright test environment X, Bradley Cooper with short hair is full of surprise, looking at the frowning Ed Helm next to him Si, said impatiently: "I can pretend I can't see anything" but I won't help you smash the police car. WWW..book friend whole~reason~provide", Ed Helms said quite nonchalantly: "Okay, I'll do it. "

Zach-Galifianakis, with a full beard, asked seriously, "Do you want me to help?" Ed nodded and said, "Okay." Thank you. "Bradley held his back angrily" and said, "I want to see what you guys are going to do?"

Wang Yang sat behind the desk with his chin in his hands, silently watching their performance. After attending Tom Welling and Jamie White's modest but warm and quiet wedding, the couple returned to Martha's Vineyard for their honeymoon, and he hurriedly began to finalize the candidates for the leading roles. Through various channels, I contacted the three guys in front of me, and then invited them to come to participate in the starring audition of the new work "a first-class comedy movie".

Whether it's Fatty Zach, or Bradley and Ed", they were all stunned. Pie fell from the sky for no reason? This is an audition for the protagonist! And it was an active invitation, and the person who sent the invitation had to be Miraculous Yang! Zach, who played some passers-by and small roles, Bradley, who didn't even have a small role, and Ed, who had never appeared on the screen, all excitedly agreed to the invitation.

"It's simple" You pour kerosene on the body of a snowflake and set it on fire head to tail "and then throw it in," Zach Galifianakis said solemnly, Bradley and Ed was bewildered.

Wang Yang couldn't help smiling when he saw it. The three of them have good acting skills, and there is no such thing as unprofessional bluntness, jerky, or dullness. Stage theater performance experience. Probably because of this, their body movements are sometimes a lot” but this slightly exaggerated style is just right for funny comedy.

In addition, the temperament of the characters is very in line with their own "maybe they are not such people in life", but it can be said that they are acting in their true colors on the screen, so the chemical reaction is very strong when acting. Of course it's not perfect, but it's not an Oscar now, and there won't be any deep scenes in the movie, such acting skills are enough.

"Good job" folks. "Seeing the end of the performance by the three of them," Wang Yang clapped his palms vigorously, and stopped asking new performance questions. He waved to the three of them, took out three blank sheets of paper and pens and distributed them to them respectively, and said with a smile: "You know that comedy must be funny, the director is like this, and the actors are also like this. I hope that every cell in the crew can be funny. Hilarious, breathing in is normal air" but exhaling laughter. "

All three nodded with a smile." Wang Yang continued: "So I have a question here, please write your answer on paper. He smiled, and then asked this question: "If there is a tiger in the presidential suite" it is a real tiger, and you stole it back, then another animal should go in now.

What do you think would be more fun and funny? "

The three of them, including Bradley, were suddenly in deep thought. This answer might directly affect the result of the audition, and also affect their entire acting career. They all had to be cautious. Look at how they are thinking about it." Wang Yang spread his hands and said with a smile: "Don't make it so serious, once it is serious, you can't be funny anymore. Guys, hilarious hilarious! Use up all your laughing cells! "

"Hehe" I was thinking...", "PK! "," I feel like I'm handing in my graduation thesis. "The three of them all showed a smile, and they seemed to be very relaxed." But they still thought for a while before writing their answers on paper and handing them back.

Wang Yang looked at Zach-Galifianakis's answer first, and said: "Monkey, why?" He looked at Zach and asked with great interest, "Why is it a monkey?"

Bradley and Ed also looked at him with a smile. Zach's bearded and fat face pretended to be serious, and explained: "Monkeys are a very funny animal." Some monkeys dare to tease the tiger and pat it on the head. , Catch its little brother "That's fun."

"Okay." Wang Yang nodded with a smile. Fatty's funny thinking tends to be wild and vulgar, but it's really interesting. He opened Ed Helms' answer again, and on the paper was "A Hello Kitty (a real cat or a big doll)", he couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Ed, why is it Hello Kitty?" ?”

"That would be more conflicting." Ed Helms straightened his glasses and said with a smile, "When the ferocious tiger and the cute Hello Kitty are placed together, there will be a kind of ironic charm. If the tiger is doing something on top of Hello Kitty," everyone laughed, Wang Yang opened Bradley's answer and said with a smile, "It's interesting, but we don't have the copyright of Hello Kitty. "

Bradley's answer was "rabbit" or chicken. ", Wang Yang smiled," and also motioned for him to make a sheath release.

Bradley shrugged and smiled: "I guess since you stole a tiger, you need to feed it? Rabbits and chickens are both good choices. A hen is walking around in the presidential suite." I think it's ridiculously funny. "

"Well, this is a reasonable idea." Wang Yang put down the paper in his hand. Bradley's thinking is relatively calm and rational. Sometimes such an analysis method can get a lot of laughs. He looked at the three of them from left to right. Obviously, after a day and a half of contact, he couldn't fully understand whether they were funny or not, but the three of them will do a great job in the future...

That's them! Wang Yang stood up with a smile, spread his hands and said, "Guys, let's have fun in Las Vegas!"

What? ! The three of them immediately looked at each other." Immediately, their faces were full of surprise and joy, a little uncertain, and suddenly they could play the leading role in a movie with a cost of tens of millions!? Fantastic Yang!? Bradley suppressed the excitement in his heart, and wanted to ask for sure Said: "You mean we passed? ","certainly! "Wang Yang nodded" and said with a smile, "But buddy, don't cut your hair and beard from today" I want to give you a new look. "He said and looked at the fat Zach" and said: "Zach" You too, I need you to have a longer beard! And Ed, you're fine as you are. ", Zach happily agreed: "I will throw away the scissors at home when I go back!" Hahaha, so happy! "

Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms laughed uncontrollably, too.

A few days after the audition was confirmed, although they knew they would act with the live tiger, the three of them signed a formal contract without hesitation, and their salary was 600,000 US dollars each. For a small role, this is already a very generous salary. This performance opportunity is worth more than 600,000 U.S. dollars." Even if the salary is 100,000, they will happily agree. In the February issue, Wang Yang spent his 22nd birthday in joy, and received countless blessings and gifts. The strangest gift was a deck of poker sent by Natalina.” "Angrily" accused her: "Send me for a deck of poker? "Natalie just said calmly: "I have a Natalie Hershrag for you, do you want it?" "Wang Yang suddenly became very satisfied: "Yes, then it's settled, your new film - there is no money." "

The number is Lunar New Year's Eve, he returned to San Francisco to spend the Spring Festival with his family, and after two days of rest, he devoted himself to this game again.

During this period of time, the second round of viral marketing website has made new progress. The "Alien Research Center" has completed the 1 million people's make-up campaign" and unlocked the basic information of this alien race. They are In a beehive society, workers take pleasure in destroying arson and killing crimes." They are bad people! And "Alien's Secret", the letter-finding activity was also completed by movie fans and fans. The information it revealed proved the fact that "District 9" was a slum, and aliens were placed in it.

All this new information makes sci-fi fans curious and excited. Are the always powerful aliens put together? So what is this story about? Who is the protagonist played by Robert Downey Jr.? What does he have to do with aliens? The history and current situation of the relationship between the entire human society and aliens? If you want to know this, you have to hack the third round of viral marketing sites "Humanity and Race" and "NP Employee Handbook".

In the hot viral marketing, the post-production special effects production is also in full swing." Wang Yang not only checks and reviews the finished shots every week, is satisfied or provides suggestions for revision; other things include finding other special effects companies to do certain effects. , All were handed over to the special effects team and the visual director.

At the same time, "the monthly schedule has been set and the fine editing stage has been completed, and the soundtrack has begun." The 105-minute release version is naturally the result of Wang Yang's nodding satisfaction. He also personally edited some shots; Moving forward on the track, it adopts a more common publicity method, Anne-Fletcher, Jessica and other crew chiefs appear on the cover of magazines, "interviews" and wonderful trailer advertisements.

Mixed in these things is the work of setting up the crew. Of course, Wang Yang didn't take it all by himself. He hired a few producers who had a pleasant cooperation with him to divide the work and work together." But everyone's task is "quick, quick, quick." ,!!!

The actual speed is indeed fast. Firstly, there is no need for a luxurious lineup, as long as it is funny and suitable; secondly, the place of work is in Las Vegas, which fully meets the requirements of the leading filmmakers: more importantly, He is no longer a fledgling rookie. After a few movies, he also has his own contacts and team. Now as long as he has funds to provide good treatment, he can immediately gather a group of people.

\u0026nbāWhat pre-production time is spent on setting up scenery and making props, only the bathroom of the presidential suite needs to be built in the whole movie” because the Caesar Palace Hotel refused to let the tiger enter.

\u0026nbā When the selection of actors is finalized, the groom Doug will be played by Matthew Fox. He will be the protagonist "Jack..." in the future TV series, but he is still an unknown member with a salary of 300,000; Theron is in charge, and she is also the person with the highest salary in the whole film" 2 million; Michelle Rodriguez, she will play the gang leader, with a salary of 1.5 million.

As early as the Sundance Film Festival in 2000, Wang Yang met Lai XX-Rodriguez, and they have always maintained a relationship of ordinary friends with holiday greetings. "Crisis" established the image of a new generation of hard-core actresses." She was surprised to be invited by him to act in a funny movie this time, and thought it was an April Fool's Day joke two months in advance.

After confirming again and again that he is serious," she asked curiously: "Why? I don't seem to be funny? Wang Yang replied, "I don't know, just such an idea popped up suddenly, and then I thought, "It's interesting! The crazier this movie is, the better." ", Michelle asked back without thinking: "Magic Young's invitation, can I refuse? "

In fact, Charlize Theron is also surprised, her screen image is always serious and heavy, and most of the movies she starred in are dark types, comedies? She has never tried it.

Although it is absolutely impossible to win the award, she agreed with her agent "very gladly, because now "Magic Yang's movie equals high box office, equals social phenomenon" and equals popularity."

"Oh, wow, of course I'm interested!" Shaquille O'Neal on the phone was extremely surprised and excited. You should be in the show business! How funny do you want me to be?" I can do it! "

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Wang Yang couldn't help laughing." Anyway, O'Neill looked funnier than Mike Tyson, and he smiled with the phone in his hand: "That's so exciting! Guys, this time, you will definitely let your funny talents come into full play, and then you will continue to make appointments to "retire and stop playing in the NBA, and then the Lakers fans will scold me to death."

O'Neill laughed a few more times, and asked enthusiastically: "Is this role just to play myself? I can play whatever I want?" Wang Yang said yes, and said with a smile, "But I will Give you some, professional guidance "It's like staring or twisting your butt...", he suddenly thought of something." His eyes lit up and he said: "I think it would be fun for you to dance, you know a big guy like you , if the performance is flexible and soft, the visual effect will be great."

"No problem" No problem, my dance moves have always been good! ", O'Neill's tone was very proud. Wang Yang smiled and said: "Cool! "The two chatted for a while." After confirming the guest appearance, and going to the Staples Center to watch a football game in a few days to cheer him on, the call ended this time.

Wang Yang immediately dialed another number, leaned comfortably on the sofa cushion, and smiled as soon as he got connected, "Hi, Will. "Will-Smith said enthusiastically: ..., Yang, good evening!" After saying hello, Wang Yang told him why he came: "Will, you know that I am preparing to shoot a super comedy movie recently. Right? Well, not so much "Oscar" this time just for fun. I'd like to invite you over for a small cameo."

"Okay!" Will Smith agreed very happily. Whether it was the deep friendship or the kindness brought by "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", he had no reason to refuse the invitation. He smiled and asked, "What kind of character is that?"

Wang Yang didn't feel surprised by Will's quick promise, only the expected calmness and gratitude, and said with a smile: "Oh, don't worry, I won't let you show your butt, haha! That's a bad luck You can understand and shape it as you like, as long as it is funny! Another requirement is to speak as fast as a rap.”

"" That's my strength. I can speak as fast as an airplane without stopping, and I can speak like a machine gun..." Will rapped impromptuly when he heard the words, and Wang Yang laughed and said: "I don't have this talent. ", Will chuckled, and said with a smile: "But it's my first time acting as a drug dealer, I have to study his mentality carefully, maybe I can get another Oscar back. "

Both of them laughed and chatted for a while, Will Smith invited again: "When will you come to my house to play? Jaden misses you very much." Asked me many times, where is that Yangmo, why didn't Momo come? play with me? "Wang Yang immediately missed that clever kid, and said with a smile: "I miss him too, how about I go to disturb you tomorrow night?" "Will said with a warm smile, "Welcome!" "After finishing this pleasant call, Wang Yang drank a sip of beer, took the microphone and continued to dial the number." In the middle of the call, he suddenly felt moved, and he called Christopher Nolan instead." He said with a smile: "Hi, Chris! Well, I'd like to invite you to comeo in my new movie. "

"Cameo?" Nolan was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Is it a guest director, or a guest role? If it's a role, I don't know how to act."

Wang Yang smiled and said, "I knew you would refuse." Forget it, Chris, see you later! He smiled and pressed the end button before calling Christopher's younger brother Jonathan Nolan, the screenwriter of "Memory Fragments". He has often called Jonathan recently to learn and discuss suspense techniques that can make people more unexpected.

"Hi Jonathan, good evening...","
