Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 34 The Best Candidate for Director

On September 10th, although the script was still being revised, the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" had been officially approved within Dunn Films, with a budget of 15 million US dollars and an external claim of 35 million.

Tang En Pictures also officially sent dozens of audition invitations to major economic companies.

Since the script revolves around Nicole Kidman, the other characters are supporting roles. Twain handed over all the power to the casting assistant Glenn Fierro, who also has his own major project - choosing a director!

Tang En's current ability is not suitable for the director's job at all. All he can rely on is the "mirror image possession" skill in the sunglasses system.

It was because of the novice gift package that Tang En possessed Cameron's professional skills that he successfully completed the filming of "Titanic".

Fortunately, the "Mirror Mirror Possession" skill will be triggered every time Twain's film's global box office exceeds 1 billion US dollars.

The box office of "Titanic" has already exceeded 1 billion US dollars, so he has accumulated another "mirror image possession" skill.

The point is, which famous director should Tang En choose to possess?

James Cameron is definitely not good. He is not good at this kind of family, drama, and comedy films. Tang En thought for a long time, and finally locked on two candidates-Steve Spielberg and Woody Allen.

Needless to say, Steve Spielberg is the number one in Hollywood today!

The bright data also proved his strength.

Among the five options of the producer, 92 for production, 94 for market judgment, 89 for literary aesthetics, 85 for project evaluation, 80 for screenwriting, and a comprehensive score... 88 points!

Far beyond Cameron's 81 points.

Among the director's five options, the palm camera is 91, the plot design is 97, the visual thinking is 83, the direction is 86, the camera is 93, and the overall score is 90 points!

On par with Cameron.

Such a top director, even if Tang En has a slight rift with him, respect in his heart is still essential.

In comparison, Woody Allen's data is much inferior.

The overall score of the producer is only 69, among the director skills, the cameraman is 89, the plot design is 96, the image thinking is 71, the direction is 93, the camera is 80, and the overall score is 86.

From the perspective of overall comprehensive strength, Woody Allen is far inferior to Steve Spielberg, but Tang En is sad that Spielberg has never made a comedy, and Woody Allen Almost all of his works are inseparable from family, comedy...

Throughout Hollywood, Woody Allen is a veritable master of comedy, and in this line of comedy, he is unrivaled!

Moreover, Woody Allen's screenwriting ability reached 93, and his acting level was close to 80. If Dunn possessed his ability, he might be able to make a guest appearance in a movie and enjoy his acting addiction.

"Woody Allen...Spielberg..."

Tang En was gloomy and couldn't make up his mind. This movie was related to his future career plan, so he had to be careful, careful, and careful.

"Huh? That's right, why did I forget him?" Tang En patted his forehead. Glenn Fierro's "casting" ability was as high as 97. As an important function of a producer, director selection is also included.

Another assistant producer, Irene Kelly, was in charge of the preparations for the crew, but Glenn Fierro was overwhelmed with casting alone. When he heard about Twain's intentions, he was taken aback for a moment.

"Boss, with our budget, we can't afford either Spielberg or Woody Allen!"

Tang En waved his hand, "I didn't say please, just analyze, which director's directing style is suitable for our movie, I'll go back and study it."

Glenn Fierro couldn't help being in awe, who is the boss? A super director with a box office of 1.5 billion US dollars in a single movie!

But such a person is also constantly learning and researching. Can such a person not be successful?

Glenn Fierro thought for a while, "Spielberg definitely can't!"

"Ah? Why?" Tang En was a little surprised, "Although Spielberg has never made a comedy film, his films are always full of warmth, which makes people cry."

"That's right, Spielberg has a wealth of directing experience, he can fully grasp the emotions of the audience, making them cry, laugh, fear, surprise or applaud along with the movie, which is why his movies are often box office hits. "

Under Tang En's suspicious eyes, Glenn Fierro shook his head and said: "But all of this is based on the warmth behind the complex and cruel human nature! Spielberg is good at making cruel stories warm, and he is good at making complex human nature The warmth is filmed, but our movies are different. Our movies are about making warm stories warm. Such warm emotions are not Spielberg's specialty. This can be seen from the love lines in his past movies. come out."

Tang En nodded. In Spielberg's movie... the development of love is indeed rough.

Glenn Fierro's face was serious, "Actually, these are not important. The most important point is that Spielberg is a Jew!"

Tang En was startled immediately, took a deep look at him, and admired in his heart, he really is a master with a "casting" ability of 97, his viewpoint is so high, it's amazing!

The movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" mainly looks at Greek culture from an American perspective, which makes all kinds of jokes, but Greek civilization and Israeli civilization...

Letting Jews direct this film will definitely cause huge controversy, and it may even develop to the point where Jews satirize Greek civilization.

Tang En sighed, "Then Woody Allen?"

Glenn Fierro pouted, "Not to mention Woody Allen!"

"Ah? Why? Isn't he a master of comedy?" This time, Tang En was even more surprised.

Glenn Fierro obviously didn't like Woody Allen's character, and his face was a bit mocking, "Woody Allen is indeed a master of comedy, but his movies have always been niche comedies, and our movies must It's a popular comedy. We're aiming for the box office, and Woody Allen was never a box office guarantee."

Hearing this reason, Tang En understood that there was absolutely no need to borrow Woody Allen's ability.

Glenn Fierro seems to have not vented his contempt for Woody Allen enough, "Woody Allen's movies have a strong personal style and a sense of art, but he has a European style of art. And Woody Allen is notorious now, and his movies are shown in North America, and there is absolutely no way they will sell!"

Tang En smiled. He didn't expect the Woody Allen scandal to have such a big impact. He shook his head, "Then... which director do you think is the most suitable for our movie?"

"this……"

Glenn Fierro pondered for a long time, but Tang En was not in a hurry, stood up and poured him a glass of whiskey.

"I thought about it!" Glenn Fierro stood up suddenly with a blushing face, "He will definitely do it, I believe he will do it!"

"who?"

"Gary Marshall!"

Glenn Fierro had a strong voice and seemed excited.

Tang En was a little stunned, "Gary Marshall? Who is it?"

"Huh?" Glenn Fierro was stunned on the spot, unable to believe his ears, "Boss?"

"Ahem..." Tang En quickly covered up his embarrassment, "This... Glenn, you know, I haven't seen many movies..."

"Boss, haven't you watched "Pretty Woman"?"

Tang En blinked a few times, "Such a classic romance movie, of course I've seen it! You mean... the director of this movie is Garry Marshall?"

"That's right!" Glenn Fierro breathed a sigh of relief, "When Director Marshall filmed "Pretty Woman", the situation was similar to ours. It was also an independent film with a tight budget, but he exchanged an investment of 14 million U.S. dollars for It made $460 million at the box office and made Julia Roberts a hit!"

Tang En narrowed his eyes, "It seems that director Garry Marshall is really a suitable candidate... Well, I'll go back and study Marshall's directing method."

Glenn Fierro flattered: "Boss, you really worked so hard! By the way, I will have a very important audition the day after tomorrow, and I will audition many important supporting actresses at the same time. How about you check it out? "

Of course Tang En understood the meaning of the other party's words. They were just a few small characters, so he didn't need to make a big fuss. Even if he meets someone who is as beautiful as a fairy, when he joins the crew, with Tang En's identity and status, wouldn't he be in control?

"Forget it, it's up to you to decide." Tang En waved his hand, his tone suddenly became serious, "This is the first movie of Tang En Pictures, don't mess it up!"

The warning is obvious.

Glenn Fierro laughed, "I get it, boss."
