Recently, Flame Films announced the joining news of this fresh star, announcing the end of this hotly debated casting war. Some people are happy and some are dissatisfied. Fans of Hathaway, Scarlett and others are very disappointed that they can no longer be seen in this "magical movie"; fans of KK and NP are of course happy that they can watch it again at the end of the year. to their wonderful performance; and the Youngs all believe that this is the right choice.

Unheard of! If you don’t know the details, after seeing such a grand and large-scale report by the entertainment media, and seeing the two big stars KK and NP, you will definitely think that they are the protagonists of "The Dead", acting opposite or fighting side by side. However... …They are just minor supporting characters with few roles.

In 2001, when 19-year-old Natalie -

Otterman (1981-06-09) received her first Oscar nomination for Best Actress in "Juno". Over the years, she has been nominated for 2

5 Golden Globe Awards, 0

2 major Oscar winners, and won the Golden Globe Comedy Award for three previous collaborations with Wang Yang

Nominated for Best Actress in a Musical; in 2006, Keira Knightley, who was about to be 21 years old (1985-03-26), received her first Oscar nomination for Best Actress in "Pride and Prejudice". 1 Golden Globe and Oscar nomination each.

Both of them are one of the most talented and popular actresses among the younger generation, but these two people are actually playing small supporting roles in a non-guest role! What's even more exaggerated is that there is no sense of condescension. If they don't want to act, a lot of female stars of the same status will rush forward.

Even though they had known that things would develop like this, the media and moviegoers still felt like they were crazy. Only Miyazaki was so charming. What particularly arouses the world's interest is the origin and story of KK and NP. This is the first time they have appeared in the same movie after "Star Wars Episode 1". Although this pair of pretty beauties with a 4-year age difference have gradually become less beautiful than before. Lily is hard to distinguish, but when they stand together, it's still very interesting. Maybe this is why Magic Young chose them?

"I'm really looking forward to their performance! Both of them are my favorite actors.", "Wow! I can't believe it. Do they have a role opposite each other?", "Obviously Knightley will have a better performance.", "What are you talking about? Are you kidding? Np can beat KK until he runs back to England crying.", "Only I can bring them together!"...

Fans of the movie have different opinions.

From being happy and joyful to discussing who will perform better, it is no longer the queen vs. the queen's substitute, but

oTerman vs Knightley!

However, it is worth noting that both of them have filming appointments for the same period, and will undoubtedly be "shooting at the same time." Can they cope with it? Both agents said the same thing: "This is a decision made after careful consideration and proper arrangements. The workload of "The Dead" is not very heavy. She can star in two movies in a staggered manner without letting her down. Anyone is disappointed." In order to take care of the two of them, the crew of "The Dead" was of course involved in arranging the filming schedule.

Wang Yang, the initiator of this selection, was very silent and did not particularly praise Natalie and Knightley. He only said on his blog: "It is very difficult to satisfy everyone, but no matter what, I really Thank you all for your enthusiasm and trust in The Dead."

Facts have proved that Magic Young is Magic Young after all, and his charm is worth imax. This simple diary attracted many replies from the parties. Scarlett said: "I am satisfied and look forward to seeing "The Dead"!" Hathaway said: " It’s a pity that they performed poorly on the audition day. Congratulations to them! Looking forward to it!” Alexis said: “Looking forward to seeing this movie, come on!” Emily said: “I’m also looking forward to “The Dead”, come on!” ...Natalie and Knightley said: "I'm delighted to have been given this opportunity."

"It's incredible." Regardless of their true state of mind, the media and the public saw their respect and admiration for the result. You must know that big stars are very thin-skinned when it comes to winning and losing, and they often have grudges because of this. However, these women actually lost. It's unheard of for people to be so positive without being emotional!

Faced with the magical call, women's quarrels can really be put aside for the time being. In fact, the relationship between Natalie and Knightley has not improved at all. This time they "starred together" with the intention of fighting to the death on the set and on the screen. Natalie told Wang Yang: "I don't want to be so childish and argue with a little girl, but that guy has been staring at me for many years. She owes me an apology, but I don't need it! You must have people you hate, so Don't have any thoughts of being a priest." Knightley had the same attitude: "Magic Young, you are right, why should I let go of the opportunity to shut her up?"

Maybe people who looked very similar to him would be annoying, but Wang Yang didn't care, as long as the two women played "The Dead" well, he didn't bother to pay attention to their grievances.

Although Fire Films has said hello, Chinese-language co-distributors and media in several places are unwilling or even opposed to "the-depa".

ted" the Chinese title of the film does not have the word "无码", and I am very uninterested in the official translations "Dead", "Dead" and "Dead" provided by Huo Huo. The commercial performance is too bad! No one would even take a second look if it didn’t add a magic touch! Besides, how can there be no "infinite"? This is the essence and the big selling point! Therefore, "The American version of "The Departed," "The Departed," "The Departed," and "The Departed" are the more popular Chinese movie titles.

The Chinese titles of the first ten films he directed have gone smoothly, and other films have not encountered any difficulties. It can be said that this is the first time that Wang Yang has encountered the situation of being dissatisfied with both the literal and free translations of Chinese film titles. He understands that everyone is dissatisfied with " The feeling of "infinite" and its commercial value, but "The Dead" really does not have the concept of "infinite", let alone adding wind and clouds, gods and ghosts will be enough? What does it mean to be inseparable? Thinking of "The Card Counting Team", Wang Yang was speechless.

Regardless of whether ff is satisfied or not, the media calls it this, and it has indeed achieved the desired effect, with a skyrocketing click-through rate! Not to mention that global Chinese movie audiences are among the people who are most concerned about the characters and cast of "The Departed".

Compared with the original Hong Kong version of Kelly Chan and Sammi Cheng, Natalie and Knightley are less likely to smash tomatoes and rotten eggs. Could it be said that their appearance, temperament or acting skills are inferior? No matter where they are on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, everyone is very satisfied and there is nothing to find fault with. What do they care about most about playing Hua Tsai? To be precise, who is the person who plays "Liu Jianming"?

Because the two supporting actress candidates were too star-studded, the selection of the other male lead "Colin" was robbed of the limelight. After heavy selection and auditions, James Franco, Matt Damon, and Jonathan were eliminated. - Les Meyers, Cillian Murphy and others, Wang Yang finally selected Michael Pitt.

In fact, at the final stage, there were only three candidates that Wang Yang was undecided about, Franco, Dameng and Michael.

Originally, Wang Yang was very optimistic about Franco. He had a good appearance and temperament, looked like a handsome rising police star, and had enough chemistry with Ledger. However, during the audition, he failed to play the "Front" character well. The bad, ferocious and evil part of "Colin" has always been like a big boy next door; Dameng has his own taste. "The Brothers Grimm" has shown that the effect of his partner Ledger is okay, but his performance is not as good as "Colin" The understanding and shaping of the film are generally the same as those of the WB version of "The Departed", but there are problems such as insufficient heat.

There are many reasons for choosing Michael. He has experienced poverty, slept on the streets of New York and robbed bread, and also enjoyed a good life. Therefore, he has a deep and unique understanding of "Colin's" mentality and changes, and he has combined these It turned into an outstanding audition performance; Michael's appearance and temperament are very suitable, and he has a good chemistry with Ledger. As long as he shaves his beard cleanly, dresses neatly, and has a vigorous hairstyle, he will look sunny and cheerful, but he also has a good chemistry with Ledger. Can be like a real bad guy, with the ability to express both the sunny and dark sides.

At the same time, they have a tacit understanding. Although the director + actor have only collaborated twice, it is almost to the point where he shouts "Michael!!" and Pete knows where the problem is. This is very important, of course because of "The Dead" The filming schedule was extremely tight, so Michael Pitt was chosen.

Regarding Michael Pitt's role as "Colin", the North American media and film industry's reaction was not as big as the news of KK and NP's joining. It was almost expected. Young people naturally hope that Michael will not let Magic Young and the world down. They don't want to see Young. The black toe looks arrogant. Fans of Chinese-language movies had many different opinions. Some applauded, while many frowned and said: "How can Michael Pitt be as mature and sophisticated as Andy Lau? How did Yang find an actor?", "Why not find Leonardo DiCaprio?" How much?", "I thought I could invite Tom Cruise.", "Nervous!"...

How can we say that Andy Lau and Tony Leung are both big brothers among Hong Kong actors? The Hollywood remake should at least find A-list superstars of comparable status to play them? Especially Wang Yang is so awesome! It’s time to invite netizens to vote for the first combination: Tom Cruise (Liu) vs. Johnny Depp (Chen)! The schedule issue can be accommodated, but do they have to be filmed at the same time? Even if he's not that awesome, a superstar should be, right? Is Heath Ledger acceptable as Chen Yongyan, he was nominated for two Oscars this year, and "Blue Gloves" is awesome; Michael Pitt plays Liu Jianming? Doctor Xi méng? It's really hard to be satisfied.

These people are not Yang Hei, there are many people who love magic and Yang, but the American version of "Infernal Affairs" seems different from what they expected.

In addition, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg and others are confirmed to join "The Departed".

But no matter what, the candidates have been decided. Interestingly, Michael Pitt and Keira Knightley are the male and female protagonists of "Silk", which is currently being filmed. This is a beautiful romance film co-produced by Japan, Canada and Italy. With a cost of up to 3 billion yen (US$20 million), filming started in Nagano Prefecture, Japan, in February, and recently moved to Europe for filming. The two of them took time off in order to audition for "The Dead" and rushed to Santa Monica early.

Of course the crew of "Silk" will not embarrass them. If they all "win", it will be a great thing for "Silk"! Now the producers have reason to cheer. If nothing goes wrong, MP and KK will first make a name for themselves as a screen couple with "The Departed" and then "Silk" will be released in 2007.

Natalie, on the other hand-

Oterman and Heath Ledger once had the opportunity to partner up in the "Star Wars Prequels" series. The reason why Ledger was eliminated from Anakin's audition was firstly because he was not handsome enough, and secondly because he was not handsome enough.

There was no on-screen chemistry between Ottman and the pair, but now, it seems Wang Yang and George Lucas have different opinions. Although

Otterman's Queen has mixed reviews, and if she and Ledger shine on the screen together, I wonder if Lucas will regret it.

"Silk" is scheduled to be completed in mid-to-late May, leaving Michael Pitt little time to prepare, but this time he has to collide head-on with Ledger!

Limited by the emotions and scenes of the character, Michael did not have any explosive performance in "Firefly". He knows what kind of opportunity Colin is in "The Dead" and how huge and broad the space is. He will not forget himself. He once said "I want to be an outstanding actor!" For acting, "Colin" may be his most explosive role since acting; for Wang Yang, he cannot live up to Yang's trust and support. , let alone cause "The Dead" to be disgraced because of him; in terms of glory and development, an Oscar nomination or trophy for Best Actor?

It all depends on whether he can act well! He wants to act well!

One month is not long or short, and Michael has already made a series of preparations, including dissecting characters, experiencing life at the police station, accompanying police officers on business trips, etc. If he has any questions, he will call Wang Yang and not waste any time. time to perfect his shaping of Colin.

He originally planned to go on a band vacation after filming "Silk" and take a break before filming, but he didn't expect...Yami-

As expected, Chet was right as expected. Magical Yang summoned him, and he immediately pounced on him! For this reason, he also turned down the invitation to "Fun Games American Edition", but this is a choice that normal people would make. The two are officially engaged, but the wedding date has not been set yet, so the two are not in a hurry.

Of course, Heath Ledger's plan was disrupted. He and Michelle were originally planning to get married, but apparently it will be postponed now. He plans to finish filming "The Dead" before entering the church. Michelle Williams has another worry. Heath's sleep and mental condition have never been good. A character like "Billy" struggling in pain will definitely make his nerves tighter and his condition worse. , maybe as he said, he is "more suitable to play Billy", but!

Unexpectedly, Ledger would have to "abandon his wife and daughter" to stay in seclusion for a month...! .
