At the end of the rounds, the cast of "Rogue One" was finally determined.

Laymen are bound to have doubts. It is not often said that Katherine Kennedy is decisive, resolute, and powerful in Lucasfilm. Then, why is the cast of "Rogue One" so difficult and difficult? It took nearly a year before and after Katherine was determined.

The fact is that every decision made by every leader is bound to be constrained by many factors. Only by comprehensively considering the opinions of all parties can a wise decision be made. A truly outstanding leader lies in understanding his strengths and weaknesses, making full use of other voices to make up for his shortcomings, and making the right choice. This also means that it is absolutely impossible to speak a word. Catherine knew this clearly.

But that aside, Rogue One also has more of Katherine's blueprint on its shoulders.

Catherine reached a consensus with Bob Iger before that the restart of "Star Wars" not only needs to restart a new journey of this brilliant series, but also looks forward to creating a strong and far-reaching social impact just like 30 years ago. It creates cultural influence in the generation; and it needs to open the territory of the series, like the Marvel series, to build the entire Star Wars universe and become a banknote maker for the entertainment industry.

Disney's positioning and goals for the "Star Wars series" are higher than those of the Marvel series. It can be said that the expectations are higher and farther, and "Rogue One" is the first step to open the universe.

Because the "Star Wars" series has a strong fan culture throughout North America, Disney can't open the universe blueprint casually like Marvel, and every step must be cautious and cautious, all of which are reflected in Catherine's pressure— -Bob completely stood by and gave Catherine full power, then Catherine must also shoulder the corresponding responsibility, which is inevitable.

Choosing to start the rumored filming of "Rogue One" immediately after the production of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" shows Disney's ambition to expand the universe, and is also testing the reaction of enthusiastic fans, which means, "Rogue One" The position of No. 1 is full of paradoxical embarrassment:

Perform well and it will open up a new blueprint; perform badly and it will be thrown outright.

The decision to use Renly as the male protagonist was a result of Catherine's compromise with Bob in exchange for Catherine's bold ideas on the blueprint of the entire universe of the "Star Wars" series.

Choosing Gareth Edwards, this is Catherine following in the footsteps of the Marvel series, and she also hopes to be able to control the core initiative of the entire creation. Actors and directors can be changed at any time, as long as the story frame is maintained, then Similar products can be created continuously like an assembly line operation.

Choose Felicity Jones, this is Catherine's more attempts in the Star Wars series, with women, robots, and aliens as the protagonists, giving the entire interstellar background of Star Wars more possibilities - the super super universe of the Marvel universe. Heroine movies have been delayed, but the Star Wars universe needs to be at the forefront of the times, not for Catherine's own demands, but because of market positioning.

The restart of the "Star Wars series" is looking forward to becoming a cultural icon of the new generation and deeply affecting a generation. It is not the 1980s anymore, and the cosmic imagination constructed by George Lucas has touched the edge of human imagination, which also means that Catherine cannot start from the setting, but can only start from the essential core of the story—— Starting with characters, it caters to the multiculturalism of young people and injects more passion/passion into ethnic minorities.

In "The Force Awakens", Catherine chose the heroine's perspective, while the No. 1 male lead chose a black person; in "Rogue One", Felicity was also the main point of view, and her role even surpassed that of Renly.

Every decision is actually a part of the entire grand blueprint. Although there were differences and twists and turns, Catherine even doubted her own judgment and decision-making; but in the end, Catherine insisted on herself and made a strong decision. After hesitating for a while, she returned to her original decision. , Only then did Gareth and Felicity officially join.

For their own ideas and for the future blueprint, Katherine communicated with Renly on the script many times before and after. The difficulty and difficulties of the script were not just nonsense. , was not officially passed on to Renly until November.

Fortunately, Renly didn't care about the weight of the role, and he focused on the role itself from beginning to end.

Considering Renly's position in the industry - Hollywood actors are always used to being the one who saves the world, and considering that he was filming "Jurassic World" at the time of the negotiation phase - he was the absolute core, Catherine was a little surprised , but slightly changed his view of Renly.

However, it doesn't matter whether it changes or not. Catherine won't let her personal opinions affect the partnership. Since Renly has decided to play the leading role, she won't be picky—

After all, Renly has surpassed Robert Downey Jr. in the industry and has become Hollywood's newest brother; and Renly's influence is broader and farther than Robert Jr., and he is among all the projects Disney is currently working on. , the well-deserved number one big name. No one would be foolish enough to come face to face with Renly, including Katherine Kennedy and Bob Iger.

What's more, Catherine doesn't need to cooperate directly with Renly. After the crew is turned on, this hot potato can be thrown to the executive producer.

No matter what, "Rogue One" is still officially launched after all, so the twists and turns in the preparatory stage will be left behind for the time being, and all attention will be focused on the next filming and production, looking forward to creating To produce a wonderful work, that's the point.

...

The day when "Rogue One" was officially launched was a cloudy day.

Felicity-Jones sat in the back seat of the car and staggered out of downtown London, watching the dark gray and dark red buildings disappear towards the end of the line of sight, and scattered dark green began to occupy the line of sight, Before he could pay attention, the crowd in sight began to sparse.

The film crew chose Pinewood Studios for the set. This is a studio located in Aylesbury, the capital of Buckinghamshire, southeast of London. It is also one of many famous studios in England. "Batman: The Dark Knight", "Captain America 2", "Harry - Potter and the Deathly Hallows", "007: Skyfall" and other works have been filmed here - not long ago, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" was just finished here.

For countless filmmakers and fans, Pinewood Studios is definitely a dream studio, because Stanley Kubrick completed many works such as "Full Metal Jacket" and "A Clockwork Orange" here. Up to now, the studio has preserved many scenes of the film master, and directors such as Christopher Nolan and Quentin Tarantino have come here to pay their respects to Stanley Kubrick's glory.

The main shooting location of "Rogue One" was chosen here, and director Gareth Edwards was ecstatic.

In fact, Disney has signed a long-term cooperation agreement with Pinewood Studios, and the related works of the "Star Wars series" will be filmed here. Disney only needs to build the set model here, and then all the "Star Wars" works can be reused, saving production costs; at the same time, it can also ensure that all works are under the same cosmic background setting, avoiding those critical and Attentive fans pick on the thorns.

So, just after "The Force Awakens" finished filming, "Rogue One" took over immediately.

However, as far as Felicity knows, Pinewood Studios is only the main filming location. In addition to this, at least there are Maldives studios that can be seen on the filming schedule list; in addition, there are also trips to Jordan and Ireland for live shooting. plan, they will probably be very, very busy for some time to come.

This is not the first time Felicity has filmed a high-cost, large-scale production, but she was only a supporting role in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" before. She has never experienced such a shooting experience. Many things in "Rogue One" are career firsts. Second, it's no wonder everyone says this could be a career turning point.

According to common sense, she should feel nervous - excitement and nervousness are intertwined with excitement, possibly mixed with some apprehension, but she can't restrain her expectations.

At least Felicity used to be like this. She was looking forward to the start of "Rogue One" with a mixed mood. She also suffered insomnia because her mood was too surging. Reading, studying carefully, thinking about how she should perform and how she should interpret it, she ushered in the dawn of the sun without knowing it, but she did not feel tired at all, just full of hope.

But today, Felicity seemed a little absent-minded, all those excited and excited emotions disappeared, and in the end, only nervousness and anxiety remained.

Felicity's only thought was to keep her mouth shut - but it wasn't her character, because she knew, Ellie Sen is just worried about herself and is trying to think things through. She has no way to blame Alison for completing her work conscientiously. Even if she is irritable now, she still chooses to keep her mouth shut.

However, Felicity couldn't help but cast her gaze out of the car window, quietly staring at the sky outside the window. There are only large patches of gray left, which are so depressing that people can't breathe.

Gradually, Felicity's thoughts got wings like this, left the carriage, and flew above the clouds, looking for a moment of peace.
