Heads Up Hollywood

Jessica Alba's name, of course Twain knew, not only the memory of his previous life, but also a list of actors sent by Eli Emanuel some time ago.

Endeavor is a newly established brokerage company. Although Eli Emanuel holds male stars such as Robert DeLoney, Mel Gibson, Matt Damon, Daniel Washington, etc., there are very few female stars. , currently only Charlize Theron barely supports the facade.

That's why Eli Emmanuel seized the opportunity to make friends with Twain, hoping to use his movies to create another popular female star.

After hearing about the approval of the "Spider-Man" movie project, Eli Emanuel provided Tang En with a list of potential actresses he had carefully selected.

In the list, there are many names that Twain is familiar with, including names like Sienna Miller and Scarlett Johansson, as well as Jessica Alba mentioned by James Cameron.

"Sell favors twice for one character, this business is quite profitable!"

Tang En rolled his eyes, and immediately laughed, "Okay, you give her time to visit my company, if there is no problem, she will be the number one female!"

This time, Cameron felt embarrassed, "Twain, this...isn't it too hasty?"

"Haha, James, we are old friends!" Tang En patted him on the shoulder with a smile, walked into the screening hall, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, did you invite her to today's premiere? "

Cameron looked at him warily.

"Today is worse than hitting the sun. Maybe tonight, we can choose the heroine." Tang En smiled openly, "Are you right, James?"

Cameron's eyebrows were slightly lowered, and he opened his mouth, but he hesitated to speak.

In such a big environment, what can he do?

...

As night fell, the red carpet outside the AMC theater in Times Square was empty, except for the security personnel who were still waiting.

In the screening hall of the AMC theater, there were no empty seats. The crew and invited guests of "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Man Menace" sat at the front, with film critics and media people in the middle, and lucky fans who were selected at the end.

After a brief ceremony, the auditorium finally fell silent.

The opening animation of Twentieth Century Fox appeared on the big screen with soul-stirring sound effects.

"Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away..."

With this sentence, which set off the classic opening of countless people's memories, in the symphony of ups and downs, "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Man's Menace" officially began!

In the screening hall, all the movie fans held their breath and stared at the big screen tightly, not wanting to miss any shot.

Cameron is also paying attention, because he knows that this movie is likely to be an epoch-making special effects craft!

In the vast universe, a domineering spacecraft flew across the night sky and flew towards the blue planet.

The audience in the back row couldn't help being amazed, this spaceship is so real, and the magnificence of the universe and the dazzling stars are so clear and real, as if they saw it with their own eyes.

Just this one shot, many professionals couldn't help nodding their heads in admiration.

Sure enough, the times have changed. In Star Wars 16 years later, the special effects technology has developed by leaps and bounds, and the pictures are obviously more realistic and better.

As the spacecraft landed, the plot of the movie gradually unfolded.

The dark side of the force has brewed a new evil organization and started subversive activities. The powerful trade federation brazenly sent troops to the peaceful planet Naboo. Queen Amidala, who wanted to hijack the planet Naboo, forced her to sign an agreement. Thereby determining the legitimacy of the Trade Federation action.

After hearing the news, the Jedi Council of Elders attached great importance to it, and immediately sent two elite Jedi knights——Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.

Cameron, who was watching the movie seriously, saw the two Jedi Knights starring Liam Neeson and Ben Affleck, he was taken aback for a moment, smiled wryly, shook his head, lowered his voice, and said to Tang En next to him, "The acting skills are poor. It's time to dance."

Tang En sighed, and said in a low voice: "At least their image shows the spirit of warriors. James, you may not know much about George...he is old."

old?

A meaningful word obviously made Cameron understand a lot.

Although Twain is the director of the film, he may have been greatly restricted during the filming process. This is completely different from when he filmed "Titanic" and the two sincerely cooperated to put aside conflicts and create classics for the film.

"Pity."

Cameron shook his head and didn't continue to discuss. The attention to the movie was obviously not as careful as before.

As the screen changes, the story deepens, and the overall context of the movie has been presented to everyone.

Many film critics frowned.

The plot is a bit simple, after reading the beginning, you can basically guess the ending.

However, movie fans watched with gusto. The Jedi Knights fled from the planet Naboo with Queen Amidala, and were attacked by artillery fire and were forced to dock on the desert planet.

Here, Qui-Gon found the prophesied "balance" - Anakin Skywalker.

Then, with the help of Anakin, the spaceship was repaired, and Qui-Gon and his party took Queen Amidala back to the capital of the Republic.

The next part of the plot, after Tang En's screening, was much more compact.

Queen Amidala sought the support of Parliament unsuccessfully and impeached the Supreme Speaker. However, the newly elected speaker also has no idea of ​​sending troops to the planet Naboo.

In desperation, Queen Amidala decided to return to the planet Naboo alone to resist the foreign invaders by herself.

"I am the queen of the planet Naboo. I will never abandon my people and live here alone! To live, to live together! To die, to die together! Padmé Amidala belongs to the planet Naboo!"

The young Natalie's acting skills are still very young, but under the guidance of Tang En and his assistant director, she keenly grasped Queen Amidala's mood at the moment, and the small universe exploded into a big one. The brightest star on the silver screen.

"Natalie is so beautiful!"

The fans in the back row were full of admiration.

"Natalie's acting passes."

The film critic in the middle wrote this sentence in his notebook.

"Your little girlfriend is the acting director of the whole movie."

James Cameron in the front row started whispering with Tang En again.

There was a hint of pride on Tang En's face, "Of course, in my heart, Nat is the best!"

Cameron smiled, very solemnly, "A very good girl, if given the chance, I will choose to cooperate with her."

Tang En was a little amused, of course he understood that Cameron was reciprocating, thanking him for supporting Jessica Alba.

But selfishness is selfishness, Natalie is definitely one of the most outstanding performances in the whole movie, whether it is Twain's version or the original version.

Originally, in the director's cut version, Twain reserved enough scenes for Natalie, but Lucas later cut them out. He would rather keep some younger jokes and the cuteness of animated characters, which are ridiculous to film critics and professionals, rather than present more wonderful performances.

Even so, Queen Amidala, played by Natalie, still overshadowed the two Jedi Knights.

In particular, the several shots of persuading Yuzawa Okaka fully express the spirit of seeing death as home. It was hard to imagine that such a petite body of hers could burst out with such a powerful force.

And Liam Neeson and Ben Affleck in the background version are really unbearable to look at.

Finally, with the efforts of Queen Amidala, the Gunga people agreed to form an alliance to jointly deal with the Robot Legion of the Trade Federation.

The big climax is coming!

The film critics all showed a bit of surprise. Looking at the time, they were a little surprised.

The Hollywood film industry is already in an assembly line mode, and the control of the rhythm has been accurate to every minute.

And Tang En's movie...

It seems that the rhythm is wrong.

It tells the story that after the story enters the third stage, the villain is too powerful. When everything seems hopeless, the protagonist finds hope and starts to fight back, reaching the final climax of "combination".

It's just that Twain's Star Wars... seems to have advanced the rhythm.

According to the movie duration announced in advance, there are at least forty more minutes before the movie ends.

Does the orgasm have to last a full forty minutes?

The film critics looked at each other in blank disbelief, some in disbelief.

What is Tang En doing?

Mobilizing the audience's hormones for too long, if it is not done well, it will not be able to arouse the audience's sense of substitution and resonance!

James Cameron narrowed his eyes into a line, glanced at Tang En beside him, thoughtful.

"He wants to save this obviously problematic movie through the last wave of continuous visual impact. It's a good idea, but... will it work?"
