The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 2468 Solved

Recently, in the public news, there has been a calm wave, and the news of the New York Film Festival has taken the main line of sight; among the senior agents, there is a surging tide, hidden under the surface, which makes people smell “the rain is coming. The turbulent chaos of “full building” has a completely different atmosphere.

The whole thing involved three works from three companies: Warner Bros.’s “Focus”, Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast”, and Sisyphus Pictures’ “City of Philharmonic”.

There is no need to introduce the relationship between the three companies in depth. Obviously, they are all linked together because of Lanli, but there is a competitive relationship.

As for the three works, all of them have great backgrounds.

The “focus” of Warner Bros., the director and screenwriter is a pair of partners Glenn-Ficarra (Glenn-Ficarra) and John-Requa (John-Requa), they once wrote and directed “I Love You Morris” together. The two comedies and “Crazy Stupid Love” were highly acclaimed. Later, the widely acclaimed American drama “Our Day” was also produced by them. Their talents and abilities have been affirmed a lot, which makes Warner Bros. The “Focus” project has a green light.

The investment cost of the entire project is about US$50 million.

Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” continues the route of “Cinderella” from an animated adaptation to a live-action movie. This is another move by Disney after Marvel, Pixar, and Lucas Pictures to dig out the copyright in its own hands. Treasure House, looking forward to forming a new territory for the development of the film industry, the director chose “Dream Girl” and “Twilight: Breaking Dawn” Bill-Condon (Bill-Condon), who is also the screenwriter of “Chicago”.

The investment cost of the entire project is about 160 million U.S. dollars.

The last is the “City of Philharmonic” by Sisyphus Pictures.

In terms of budget cost, 30 million US dollars is basically a trivial matter, but the names of Lanly and Damien make the project full of infinite possibilities.

But the three independent works seem to have no connection or even any competition, but how are they entangled?

The thing is like this.

The first “focus” to establish the project, Glenn Fecara and John Lequan hope that Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone will be able to play, the previous experience of “Crazy Stupid Love” has made them praise the two actors. , Looking forward to continuing the cooperation, and Ryan and Emma are also very happy to join.

However, the two works of “Beauty and the Beast” and “City of Philharmonic” were both invited by Ryan Gosling. At the same time, “Focus” was rumored to contact Kristen Stewart because the producers of Warner Bros. believed that Ai Ma lacks charisma and does not fit the role, which makes Ryan make negotiations. He still hopes to cooperate with Emma again, but he did not expect that the crew nodded and agreed, but turned around and started to approach Will Smith.

As a result, Ryan and Emma broke down in negotiations with the “focus” project, and the crew officially announced that the two actors were out without hesitation.

In this way, Ryan and Emma were both out.

However, “Focus” still failed to find an actor smoothly. After Will Smith nodded smoothly, Christine expressed concern about the age gap with Will acting as a partner in the performance of a couple, because the two sides are 22 years old. Then Christine also turned and left.

The “Focus” crew began to talk to Will Smith and Ben Affleck respectively, and finally decided on Will; while the heroine was difficult to give birth, including Michelle Williams, Jessica Bell, Luo All actors such as Silk Byrne participated in the audition, but they were still not sure.

The crew later auditioned for Margot-Robbie. When the audition was notified, Margot-Robbie was on vacation with her family on an island in Croatia. On the same day, she transferred from Paris to New York and arrived on time for the audition. Location, but when he arrived at the audition location, Will Smith was late.

“Will is coming from Queens.”

After learning about the situation from the staff, Margot couldn’t help but replied, “I ran from a small island in Croatia, and I was not late.”

Margot got the role-and she was actually three months younger than Kristen Stewart.

At the same time, the “focus” crew also caused controversy. Comedian Artie-Lang refused to play and publicly criticized Will Smith and the racism in the screenplay on Twitter. He was invited to play a role. “Five hundred pounds of Persian”, the name is “Fatty Farhad”.

Later, two other actors rejected the role because they were both required to gain weight to “300 pounds.”

The crew refused to respond to this.

On the other hand, the casting of the cast of “Beauty and the Beast” and “City of Philharmonic” also proceeded in an orderly manner.

“Beauty and the Beast” chose Ryan Gosling as the actor.

“City of Philharmonic” chose Emma Watson as the heroine.

As a result, the two actors both rejected the project invitation and chose another invitation.

Emma Watson chose “Beauty and the Beast”.

Ryan Gosling chose the “City of Philharmonic”.

The two works exchanged the protagonists-although they are not the same role, they did complete the transfer, and then their respective partners were determined.

In “Beauty and the Beast”, Dan-Stevens (Dan-Stevens) succeeded Ryan Gosling.

In the “City of Philharmonic”, Emma Stone took over the role of Emma Watson.

Among them, according to the internal rumors of the senior agent, a small interesting incident occurred. Ryan Gosling chose the “City of Philharmonic” because of Lan Li’s invitation. Otherwise, he had already determined the “focus” on the original schedule. “; and after Ryan entered the “City of Philharmonic” crew, he recommended Emma Stone to Damien, and Lan Li also expressed reconsideration, which made Emma Stone beat the other five competitors. , Successfully got the role.

In addition, the leading actor of “Beauty and the Beast” was originally Renly Hall, not Ryan Gosling, nor Dan Stevens, but the core role of the movie is the heroine Bell, who uses blue. Li’s starring in the Beast seems to be overkill-because the movie does not see the true face of the Beast 80% of the time; moreover, after Emma Watson was confirmed to play Bell, she showed rejection of Lan Li’s role in the Beast. , So Disney accepted her opinion, and then what happened later.

Of course, the rumors are just rumors, not to mention that letting Lan Li appear in the beast is more likely just wishful thinking of some producers. Let alone Emma Watson’s attitude, convincing Lan Li is the biggest obstacle to the whole plan. These rumors The authenticity of the movie is also greatly compromised, and it’s more just the gossip after a meal. The credibility of it is left to my own judgment.

The point is not the rumors, but the tension behind the rumors.

After going round and round, the three works of the three companies are entangled and intertwined, which makes people faintly smell the unusual.

Objectively speaking, the flow and transfer of actors among Hollywood’s many projects is truly normal, and it’s not something worth making a fuss about. But on the other hand, there are countless actors in Hollywood, but within a short period of time, three projects The actor candidates are entangled, and if this is a coincidence, then it is too coincidental.

What’s more, the relationship between Warner Bros., Disney and Sisyphus Pictures is inherently inextricably linked.

For now, people still can’t see the truth of the matter, can’t clarify what the flow of actors means, and can’t predict the prospects of the three works and what impact they will have, but what is certain is that the three companies are behind. Decision-making thinking is indeed changing.

In the turbulent dark tide, the turbulence of the mountains and the rain coming and the wind filled the building quietly diffused, and all kinds of guesses and speculations have never stopped.

However, the cast of at least three works have been finalized. Among them, “Focus” and “Beauty and the Beast” were launched early and put into filming. “City of Philharmonic” also started the pre-rehearsal work, and the rumors that have been disturbing are also Just come to a paragraph for now.

Finally, his eyes returned to the “City of Philharmonic”.

The expected “Ren Li VS Ryan” will not be staged. Ryan Gosling replaced Lan Li as the leading actor, and he was personally invited by Lan Li. This is also shocking-to be sure, Dammy En won’t like this result, so why did Lan Li withdraw?

Although Lan Li will not appear in the “City of Philharmonic”, he still serves as a producer and works with Justin Hurwitz to create the original soundtrack for the film; at the same time, in addition to the two leading actors, Lan Li also recommends another A good friend starred in, John-Legend.

Lanly and John are not very personal friends, but the several meetings before and after were very pleasant, and they were able to resonate a lot with each other. John received Lanly’s call, hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement——

This is not the first time he has appeared in a movie. He has also agreed to guest invitations in several movies before, but the role of “City of Philharmonic” is different and important. John will also take on more roles www. . com This still makes him a little worried. However, at Lan Li’s invitation, he still agreed.

John-Legend will not only star in the “City of Philharmonic”, but will also work with Renly and Justin to complete the original music production of the film. In addition, he will also be on the stage of the Pioneer Village Music Festival as a special guest.

“I must emphasize that when Lan Li received the album of the year on the Grammy Awards stage, I was the guest of awards. I witnessed that classic moment beside the stage at the time, and I still can’t forget it. I look forward to it very much. It is undoubtedly an honor for me to cooperate with Li.”

In an interview with “U.S. Weekly”, John said that, for the performance of “City of Philharmonic”, the expectation and nervousness made him have to cheer up and go all out, “I hope I don’t smash it. Lanly’s signboard, at least don’t appear too abrupt and strange in the movie.”

In this way, the “City of Philharmonic” was completely determined, and the rehearsal was officially started. The Sisyphus Films train is still moving at high speed.

For Hollywood, the rise of Sisyphus Pictures is inevitable, and more importantly, how should they view this opponent, DreamWorks? Lionsgate? Or is it one of the thousands of independent film companies? Otherwise, are there other possibilities?
