Chapter 1431 Vase Contest

Frank Miller; "City of Sin"-

For the general public, perhaps, they are not that familiar, after all, the influence of the 2D comics Relatively limited.

But in Hollywood, people are familiar with it. In the past ten years, more than one two producers have tried to buy the copyright of the adaptation of this comic, but unfortunately they all ended up in failure.

Until now.

finally! Finally, someone convinced Frank Miller to finally start the adaptation of "City of Sin"!

And, not casual nobody, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino two weirdos. If you think carefully about the styles of the two directors, this project deserves attention. .

What's more, the former's "very small spy" and the latter's "killing Bill" both ushered in box office success. In addition, their connections and resources have been rolling in Hollywood for more than ten years, from any There is no shortage of investors in terms of aspects.

No matter how much it is, Forest Pictures, a new Hollywood player, intervenes, right?

However, the fact is not--

"City of Sin" not only flies flesh and blood, severely challenging the ultimate ability of Hollywood film companies; but also fully visual comic presentation methods, which challenge Hollywood's aesthetic system in all aspects.

People often have such an inertial thinking, and Hollywood seems to be a cradle of a film industry full of challenges, innovation and freedom.

In fact, this is not the case, it is an illusion.

On the surface, Hollywood is full of sexual comedy full of "American Pie", "40-year-old virgin", "hangover", "sausage party" and other sexual comedies full of vulgar jokes; but in fact, Most of the people who traveled across the ocean and left their hometowns to explore the territory of the North American continent were Protestants, so Hollywood was conservative in its bones.

At least in the movie, Europe is the real freedom.

In addition, let alone this for the time being, the biggest difference between the Hollywood film industry and other countries and regions is the industrialization of the entire production system.

Simply put, assembly line production—

The script’s three-act structure, the formula of narrative grammar, and the routine of shaping characters.

Everything is strictly followed by templates, because these templates are the results summarized by industrial testing and polishing, and are also the guarantee of success. As long as you follow such formulas, you can ensure quality.

Not only Hollywood type movies, but also factional art movies like Sundance and Independence Spirit Awards are no exception, with industrial template thinking.

Over time, people's thinking has been standardized and constantly copied and pasted in templates. Movies have become assembly line products. Although they can ensure average quality, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find "variables" here.

Movies like "City of Sin" are challenging traditional challenges to formulas and routines in every aspect, and even challenging the entire Hollywood production system. Film companies are all timid and dare not take risks, even Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's directorship was not helpful.

Frank Miller was not surprised by this situation-

Look, I said it. If Hollywood adapted it, they would have modified my work beyond recognition, and they would not be able to accept the spirit of my comics; now, we are ready to shoot and produce them completely in accordance with the spirit of the comics, and no one in Hollywood dares to take risks, fearing that they will become pagans: < br>
It is not only religious, but also Hollywood production system.

Surprisingly, but in common sense, the opportunity came to Forest Film in a circle.

No, to be precise, the opportunity appears in Anson's hands and the role invitation is obvious. Forest Pictures has not yet entered Robert and Quentin's sight for the time being.

But Anson believes that this is an opportunity, an excellent opportunity.

After Anson's explanation, Lucas finally understood the specialty of this project, and it was even a shocking moment. Any producer or film company could successfully produce and put the project on the market will be useless. To attract a lot of attention doubtfully, this is a simple math problem - image, style, color, everything will become a unique existence.

However, Lucas' focus is still on Anson.

"You just said that the character is not suitable for you?"

Ansen waved his hand, "No, it's not that it's not suitable, it's just that it's just that it's boring. Yes, it's boring."

Lucas was a little curious, "What character?"

Anson, "Dwight."

"The ex-criminal lived quietly after plastic surgery. In order to teach his girlfriend a lesson, he accidentally discovered that the ex-boyfriend was violent and was bullying a group of female girls without following the rules. Then, the female girls joined forces to kill them. After this violent guy, he unexpectedly discovered that he was actually a policeman, so Dwight had to protect these women. "

Lucas opened his mouth slightly and raised his jaw, revealing a touch of his mouth. However, his expression, "It's true, it's a little bit nonsense Talk. "

Ansen, "In such a distinctive stylistic work, the focus is not on the actor's performance, because there is no arc on the character, only one slice, so only a character with a distinct personality can stand out. "

"Compared with Dwight, the role of this ex-boyfriend is more impactful." "It's a pity, in their eyes, I still lack a vase of personal charm. ”

The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!

Edgar chose "City of Sin" in part because he hopes that Anson can subvert his image and break Peter Parker's obedient teenager image, and go further after getting rid of the label of middle school students, and walk with the song "Walk with Songs" "Being further on the basis, I chose such a subversive work.

It is better to say that Edgar chose Robert and Quentin than to choose "City of Sin".

However, in the eyes of the "rupter" Quentin, Anson was still too well-behaved.

Maybe Lucas doesn't know, but Anson knows that Quentin has always had his own crazy energy in choosing actors. He doesn't care whether the other party is a big name or how big it is. Anyway, as long as he is interested, he I dared to come forward to invite an offer.

The same is true for this "Sin City". There is a villain in the movie, Rock Jr., a very, very small character. Quentin is preparing to convince Leonardo DiCaprio to star in it.

On average people would say Quentin is crazy, but Quentin thinks that is his idea.

In other words, Quentin and others have their own precise concepts for each character, and invited Anson to play Dwight because they believed that Anson fits Dwight's image.

As for the rest, nothing matters.

So, even if Anson says he hopes to play the role of this ex-boyfriend, Quentin and the others won't be interested.

Anson is very clear about this.

In fact, the directorial color of "City of Sin" is so strong that the actors are all over the place, and there is only one beneficiary of the end:

Jessica Alba (Jessica- Alba), the actor of Nancy.

In the past life, Jessica Alba was so popular that she won the throne of goddess with her two works, "City of Sin" and "Fantastic Four".

There is already a radiant vase in the movie, so Anson has no need to come forward to steal the limelight, so he lacks the nature of his appearance in this work.

But if it was invested in the shooting of Forest Pictures, that would be another matter.
