Looking up, Andy saw Renly put the beer on the table and sit upright. He knew that Renly was ready. He looked down at the two scripts, then handed the top one over, and at the same time made an introduction, "I just got this script, I haven't read it in detail yet, but I've seen the original TV series - 1966 A fantasy comedy on abc by 1970."

"First the 'Dragon Tiger Youth Team', and now this one?" Renly hadn't opened the script yet, but after hearing Andy's introduction, he joked, "It seems that Hollywood really lacks scripts now, I don't know when 'Das' can be adapted."

"The Grievances of the Giants" was a soap opera broadcast on cbs in the late 1970s. Renly's ridicule and irony meant that it couldn't be more obvious.

Andy didn't mind either, but took the conversation with a smile, "I didn't know you actually liked soap operas." Renly pursed his lips and shrugged, noncommittal, and Andy went back to the topic, "The original episode told It is a story about adventure, family, and fantasy. The male protagonist is a vampire who travels through time and space with other non-human creatures to embark on adventures. Adapted into a movie, there are many different development possibilities, and it is a very worthwhile project. ."

Renly nodded affirmatively. Generally speaking, the content of TV series is relatively complex, and it is impossible to copy all of them into the movie, so the final main story line and finished product style of the movie depends on the creative intention of the screenwriter and director. "Dragon Tiger Youth Team" is a successful case.

"Now that the vampire trend continues to rise, and the zombie theme has received more and more attention, Warner Bros. has high hopes for this project." Andy said simply.

The vampire trend was brought up by "Twilight" and spawned a large number of movies and TV series; while the zombie trend has returned to the audience's attention again because of the great success of "The Walking Dead". It can be said that such film works have always been a cult of the sword, but now they are creating market miracles.

"They gave a huge budget of 150 million US dollars." Andy's words didn't stop, "The latest progress now is that the director has already signed the contract, it is determined that it will be directed by Tim Burton (tirton), and Warner Bros. Hoping to build an all-star roster."

The six major film companies are all models of deep pockets, but among them, Warner Bros. has always been obsessed with blockbusters. Their annual film projects, the proportion of investment of more than 150 million yuan, is the highest among the six major film companies. , and they are very daring to throw money. The first 300 million in film history is "Superman Returns" invested by Warner Bros. The projects with more than 200 million are also the most among the Big Six.

Therefore, the "All-Star lineup", for Warner Bros., is a real All-Star.

"Tim Burton?" Renly repeated. "If Tim was picking the All-Star team, Johnny Depp would be his number one choice, wouldn't he?"

Known as "Edward Scissorhands", director Tim, who has filmed "Batman", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "Sleepy Hollow", "Sweeney Todd" and other works, is generally regarded as a "geek" ”, his unique interpretation of the dark gothic style is in a class of its own, which can be called a unique existence in Hollywood.

Last year, "Alice in Wonderland" directed by Tim turned out, and it swept the global box office billions of dollars, creating a new personal high in his directing career. - Depp's acting career has once again been pushed to a new peak.

Tim and Johnny can be said to be close friends. "Edward Scissorhands" not only made Tim, but also Johnny. After that, the two old partners collaborated on a full seven works, including receiving countless Critics praised "Ed Wood".

Johnny once said that as long as Tim calls, he will act unconditionally, without reading the script, without asking about the salary, and without picking the schedule. Even after "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Alice in Wonderland" propelled Johnny into the No. 1 actor in the industry. It's not just talking, Johnny actually does it.

The reason why these two partners are so tacit is not only because of years of cooperation, but also because the styles and temperament of the two people are very compatible, and they can often create more sparks.

So, as Renly said, with Tim picking the All-Stars, Johnny is definitely the No. 1 player on the roster, maybe even the only player.

"Warner Bros wants to create a young lineup. It's like..." Andy opened his mouth, and the words were suddenly cut off. He was about to speak, and then he saw Renly's playful eyes that were half-smiley, he knew his own The intention was seen through, so he simply said it, "It's like 'Twilight City'."

"So, my position is Robert Pattinson?" Renly was not only not angry, but also thought seriously, "We are all British, how old was he when he became a vampire? In his early twenties, I'm the same age now. Wow, does that mean I'm going to explode?"

The ironic ridicule made both Andy and Roy laugh.

"Is there an Iron Triangle too?" Renly held up the script in his hand. "I'm a little surprised that Tim Burton is willing to tell a love story."

"I'm not sure if it's a love story," Andy hadn't had time to read the script, "but I know Warner Bros.'s ambitions. Currently, in the lead actress position, Annie-

Hathaway, Lindsay Lohan (y-n), Emma Watson, Jennifer Lawrence are all auditioning. "

Renly raised his eyebrows lightly. The audition list is a bit large, including the head of youth idol movies like Lindsay, popular idol actors like Emma, ​​and acting skills like Jennifer Rising stars with well-established skills, of course, there are also representatives of the new generation like Annie who coexist with popularity and acting skills.

"For male actors, Andrew Garfield, Liam Hemsworth, Bradly Cooper, Channing Tatum are on the audition list." Andy went on to put Renly's competitors are listed.

This list, which is comparable to that of actresses, is very extensive. Except for Bradley, who was born in 1975, the other candidates are relatively young. Of course, in Hollywood, there is no strict age limit for male actors.

Andy went on to add, "Also, I've asked, and this time Tim intends to make it a comedy, something like 'Ed Wood' where both sadness and humor coexist. Coupled with the gothic style, I think It's an interesting challenge, even for a commercial film."

It's interesting to be a part of a commercial film like "Alice in Wonderland". Because the director gave different styles to the lens language of the film, and truly interpreted the concept of "Wonderland".

There is a director, a style, and an investment; in addition, from the perspective of the alternate cast, the crew obviously has expectations for the performance, which also means that the script will be more careful and careful. Compared with "Ed Wood", it is indeed It is worth looking forward to; more importantly, this is a comedy, which missed the "Dragon Tiger Youth Team", and another work came on the bench.

In the absence of a script, Andy has considered all aspects as much as possible, and this is why he chose such a project. Even if Universal Pictures is pressing step by step, Andy still does not mess around, which can be said to be painstaking.

But the problem is that since "Alice in Wonderland", Tim seems to have entered a creative bottleneck. Strictly speaking, the story of "Alice in Wonderland" has also been criticized by film critics for being too empty, and the visual effects failed to be the plot. The service is empty and boring, and it has encountered a lot of bad reviews. The media's comprehensive review is only 53 points. However, the work was a success at the box office thanks to strong publicity, a foundation of fairy tales, and fantastic visual effects.

It can be said that since "Sweeney Todd" in 2007, Tim has faced the exhaustion of creative inspiration. Film critics in the industry generally believe that on the one hand, Tim does not want to make progress, and always sticks to the dark gothic style. After the lack of new ideas, the core soul is also dissipating; on the other hand, it is the lack of sparks. Tim and Johnny The two people cooperate frequently. The advantage is that they have a good understanding. The disadvantage is that the chemical reaction is lost. Both of them are dragging each other down.

For reference, since "Edward Scissorhands", Tim has directed a total of eleven works, seven of which starred Johnny. The last time Tim featured another actor in the lead role was in 2003's "Big Fish."

He lowered his head, opened the dark blue cover without a name, and briefly glanced at the synopsis:

The story revolves around the male protagonist. He is a rich second-generation playboy. A witch falls in love with him, but he has another kind girl in his heart and ruthlessly rejects the witch. The witch became angry and cast a poisonous curse on the two. The girl Xiangxiaoyu died, and the male protagonist became a vampire and was sealed in a coffin.

Two centuries later, a construction team inadvertently opened the coffin. The male protagonist returned to his manor, ready to make a comeback, but found that the home that once belonged to him had become the domain of a witch, ruled by her for two hundred years. On the one hand, the male protagonist is trying to get his property back and fight against the witch; on the other hand, a girl who looks like his former lover reappears. At the same time, he also encounters zombies, werewolves, ghosts, monsters and other non-human beings creature.

I simply browsed the plot. Although I hadn't started reading the script, the corresponding work had already appeared in Renly's mind, "'Black Shadow'?"

"Yeah, Sombra." Andy chuckled. "Have you seen TV? I thought the British didn't like American soap operas." And it's such an old soap opera.

Renly didn't say a word. He hadn't seen the TV series, but he knew about the movie. It's just that I didn't expect that this much-anticipated and highly anticipated work would actually be "Black Shadow"!
