The Director of Music Department

"Music Department Director ()"

"I think it's time for you to return to the mainstream." Mary Catherine said with a serious face.

"Mainstream? Isn't Oscar mainstream? Mary!" Scott Johnson asked with a smile.

"You are too obsessed with Oscar. Do you know that in the past, many A-level productions would consider you first, but now? Since last year, you have only received invitations to 3 A-level productions. I have nothing against you chasing Oscars, but if you continue, you will have nothing!" Mary Catherine said.

Scott Johnson frowned and said, "It's not that serious, is it?"

Mary Catherine shook her head and said, "Scott, you have to know what made you a big star. It's a commercial movie, it's those ordinary movie fans, and it's because of their support that you became what Stanley is today. Kurt Johnson. And you have made literary films before, which has aroused the disgust of many fans, especially the self-destructive image, which made many fans leave you."

"Scott, you have to understand that Hollywood has never been short of actors, and there is no shortage of actors who want to replace you and can replace you! What they lack is just an opportunity, and you let go of too many such opportunities." Mary Catherine continued.

"If you take this "Sick" again, then you need to gain weight, lose weight, and shave your hair. This movie is a literary movie, and it is impossible to have much market potential. If you can rely on this If a movie wins an Oscar, then there is no problem, but do you think you can do it? But if you don’t win an Oscar, do you know what it means? It means that you will be completely abandoned by mainstream movies! Because they will There are better choices!" Mary Catherine said earnestly.

Although Scott Johnson is obsessed with Oscars and can't extricate himself from awards, it doesn't mean he is a fool.

"OK, Mary, so you think I should take this "Mad Max: Fury Road"? I don't think it's a good choice, you know, the director of this movie is from Huaguo! And This "Mad Max: Fury Road" is full of our western culture, do you think a Chinese director can make this kind of movie?" Scott Johnson asked.

Mary Catherine nodded and said: "Yes, I think he can! I checked Wang's information, and he has never missed a shot. Although this is his first time directing a Hollywood movie, in fact, he also He has written several Hollywood movie scripts, and all of them have achieved great success. This shows that he does not understand Hollywood or the North American market as he imagined. On the contrary, he understands better than many Hollywood film directors and screenwriters. !"

"But this "Mad Max: Fury Road", don't you think the role of the heroine is more prominent, and it is very likely to suppress the presence of the hero?" Scott Johnson is not easy I immediately pointed out that the heroine of "Mad Max: Fury Road" is more prominent.

Mary Catherine nodded and said: "That's right, but Scott, can you deny that if this movie is made well, then this will definitely be a very, very special movie, and this movie, indeed, the heroine The characteristics of this role make it possible for this role to suppress the presence of the male lead, but don’t you always want to prove your acting skills? I believe that as long as the performance is good enough, this will not be a problem. On the contrary, because the female The leading role is brilliant, so, if the leading actor can do the same, then will anyone deny your acting skills?"

"OK, I need to think about it!" Scott Johnson was a little moved.

"Sickness" may get him a nomination, but it is very difficult to win an award.

Or almost impossible!

And what Mary Catherine said he actually understands, this can be seen from the reduction of his endorsement contract, he has been away from the mainstream film industry for too long!

"Mad Max: Fury Road" audition scene.

Wang Yifan is quite satisfied with Scott's performance. Moreover, although his popularity has declined in the past two years, he is still a top star in Hollywood.

"Wang, I have some doubts. I've read the script. Don't you think the roles between the male and female protagonists in this movie are a bit out of balance?"

As a top star, Scott Johnson can naturally put forward his own ideas on the movie.

Most of the time, top stars are rarely willing to match others.

Especially the main characters like the male protagonist, they must be the core characters, otherwise, they would not accept it at all.

Mad Max: Fury Road clearly has this problem.

Wang Yifan knew that if he wanted to choose top stars and use their popularity to even out the natural gap between the hero and heroine due to the plot and personality, he had to persuade the other party.

Otherwise, even if he finds other top actors, he will also face such doubts.

“Everything in the film had to be logical and orderly. First, we identified one thing, the MacGuffin—a film term for an object, person, or object used to advance the plot— — must be a person."

Scott Johnson nodded.

Wang Yifan continued to speak unhurriedly, "Then the next question is, who is this person? In the story, there are a group of wives and wives struggling in the toxic wasteland. They hope to create healthy offspring instead of becoming a dictatorship. who will be their leader?"

Scott Johnson frowned involuntarily.

Because what Wang Yifan meant was obvious, this person obviously couldn't be the male protagonist.

Sure enough, Wang Yifan continued: "Obviously it can't be a man, because a man will only fight with them and can't figure it out. So we have to find a strong warrior who can guard them, so this role must be Ferosa After that she led the team to the oasis, her childhood homeland, it was a matrilineal society, and they were survivors. So the whole story is very natural, smooth and organized.

The film I envision will be carried out in a series of hurricanes. The audience can learn about the background, skills, and personalities of the characters, and experience the psychological world and emotional changes of the characters, as well as the relationship between them, friends, enemies, and relatives. The progression, and even the crucial decisions the two protagonists make over and over again, accompanies the action throughout. It's all done through motion.

And the role of the hero Max is the key to promoting the action scene!

Of course, the heroine will definitely be outstanding because of the special positioning of the role. I don't deny this. Do you know why I choose a famous actor to play the male lead?

It is because I need a sufficiently influential and good enough male lead so that the female lead is no longer the only highlight of the movie. The male lead’s action scenes are the key, and during the filming process, I will highlight This, of course, requires one person to do it, and I think Mr. Scott you are one of the most suitable candidates!
