The whole thing is very simple. Sam Mendes finally had the idea of trying a movie after directing a stage play for several years. When he was making a stage play, especially on Broadway, he also met many Hollywood actors. Many actors would try to play on Broadway in their spare time or when they were not popular enough. First, they would expand their careers and second, they should practice their acting skills. If they were lucky enough to win a Tony Award trophy, it would be even better.
But when Mendes really started to contact producers in Hollywood, he had no experience in filmmaking, which became a gap that he could not cross. Those second- and third-rate producers didn't mind letting him, a novice, serve as director, and could direct stage plays for so many years, and there were many good works. This required skill, but he was not interested in these.
But the person in charge of the scripts that he saw with first-class standards chose to refuse all of them.
Just when Mendes was at a loss, he accidentally saw a script called "American Beauty" looking for a suitable director. Although only one-third of it, he was quickly attracted.
With so many scripts read, only this one made Mendes have the idea of getting it. He has lived in New York for quite some time and has a considerable understanding of the middle class in the United States, which naturally resonates with this script.
It just so happens that the production is Global. Everyone knows that Global has been acquired by AC Media. AC Media's boss Adrian Cowell is the youngest best director at the Oscar. He not only has great vision but also likes to promote young directors. David Finch, Michael Bay, Jane De Bundt, etc. have all been discovered by him. So Mendes, who was willing to do his best to try his best to get an opportunity to interview this big director who is two years younger than him.
Eventually, he got the chance to interview Adrian, and then, he got the chance to direct the film.
Very good, Sam, you won the job.Adrian said this after listening to his analysis in the office.
If it weren't for the fact that it was more appropriate to direct it by the original director, Adrian wouldn't want to contact Mendes through Spielberg.
But now it seems that Mendes should have directed the movie by recommending himself to DreamWorks and then became friends with Spielberg.
After selling the script from Alan Ball, it was correct to let someone spread the news.
However, through this conversation, Adrian also confirmed one thing, and Mendes is worth directing the movie.
He is different from Finch and others. He is probably because he directs stage plays for many years and is also a British man. He is too persistent in the meaning of the movie. Therefore, with the vision and ability he trains to direct stage plays, it is no problem to make a movie that earns reputation, but it is difficult to make a movie that earns box office.
In fact, in Adrian's memory, "American Beauty" is Mendes' only movie with a good reputation and box office success. Now it seems that this is of course due to various factors such as good scripts and excellent directorial skills, but it is also related to Mendes' debut work.
Unless it is an independent film or a director and producer, no film company will hand over the final editing rights to a newcomer who has never had experience in making a film.
The director position was decided like this. Even if Mendes' future movies are not very good, at least he and "American Beauty" achieved mutual success, Adrian didn't mind taking this opportunity to show his precise vision again, and he didn't have to owe Spielberg favors.
But the plan to return to New Zealand has been postponed. Although the film doesn't take much effort to produce it, it's time to be released this year. The actors have already prepared it. Since the director has decided now, we will gather together as soon as possible to communicate with each other and then start the filming.
There is no doubt that the male lead Lester is played by Kevin Spacey, otherwise Adrian would not have had to snatch the script from DreamWorks for twice the price, as for the female lead Caroline...
You haven't told me about this movie a few weeks ago.
In Nicole's Beverly Hills building, delivered to her villa after divorce, the beautiful woman curled up on the sofa frowned and frowned.
Because there was no suitable director yet.
Adrian sat down next to her, the script was already in 1997, but he has been slowly selecting actors and directors. This will be a pretty good movie, and I can be sure that the media will praise it for "The Death of a Salesman" in the 1990s.
Nicole didn't say anything for a long time, and after a long time, she looked up at him: Do you think I'm very suitable for this role?
Of course, as long as there are some similarities in experience, the role will be more handy.
Adrian said bluntly, however, Nicole did not show an angry or unhappy expression as usual. She stared at him with a plain expression, as if she wanted to see through his true thoughts, and was completely immune to his teasing.
After all, I have been doing things like that, so what else can’t be let go?Besides, the divorce agreement has been signed, and she and Cruise are already two people who have nothing to do with each other.
Remember what I said?
Adrian smiled and reached out to pick her up and hugged her in his arms. Nicole just struggled gently and stopped moving. Although his head was not facing the other side, he still stroked his face.
I said... Adrian leaned into her ear and blew gently, I want you to ascend to the throne of the queen of the movie with the most beautiful appearance!
Although the itch in her ears made Nicole's body weak and half hot, she was still surprised and turned around and barely supported her: You mean...you mean...
If Adrian said this to her before this Oscar, she might still have a little doubt, but Gwyneth and Blanchett's double nominations, as well as Blanchett's Oscar for Best Actress, are telling those smart people not to doubt the promise of director Miracle.
Don't worry, it's not now.
Adrian's smile suddenly became stronger. Nicole naturally knew what was in his smile. A hint of blush flashed across his face, and he glared at him fiercely and stopped talking.
Unexpectedly, Adrian did not continue, but held her face and lowered her head to block her lips. As before, Nicole just resisted a little, and then catered to her very enthusiastically. After lingering several times, she was considered separated.
You know, in addition to acting skills, qualifications are also very important for judges who want to impress the Oscars. Although you have been to Hollywood for almost ten years and have won some awards of all sizes, there is no one Oscar nomination.
Adrian continued to speak, just looking at the look on his face, it seemed like he was savoring the wet kiss that had just ended.
But Nicole, who was kissed in his arms, had no energy to care about these things, and Adrian had already made it clear.
You mean... let me get a nomination first based on this role?She asked uncertainly after adjusting her breathing.
Although many facts have told her that what Adrian promised never could not do, it really came to her, and with her shrewdness, she still felt a little helpless.
Yes, this is a great script, and Caroline is also a good character. As long as you perform well, it is very easy to get a nomination.
Adrian nodded, while performing well and biting the sentence.
Of course, Nicole won’t be unable to hear it. Good roles, good scripts and good directors are important, but they can only have the ability. If they perform too much, no matter how good other conditions are, they will never get good reviews.
She is very confident in this regard. Although her performance in "Mulholland Road" is not as good as Naomi, she is also praised as the best performance in recent years. She has also seen the trailer of "Far Cry" and her confidence will not be too far away.
Although the role of the wife of "American Beauty" is a bit complicated, it is not something she can't control. As Adrian said, she can empathize with some places...
Leaving that guy, I will only be more dazzling by this person.This thought unknowingly occupied her mind.
So what about the previous movie?What should I do if I do that movie "Witch and Magic"?Nicole suddenly asked.
Just delay it a little later. According to estimates, if the filming of "American Beauty" goes well, the cycle will not exceed two months, which can be modified more precisely.
Adrian replied, then smirking again, anyway, this is a movie for you and Naomi.
A hint of blush flashed through Nicole's face. He spat and got up and wanted to run away, but Adrian turned over and pressed it on the sofa.
This time, her struggle increased a lot, and was accompanied by screaming. In the end, she really pushed Adrian away. Then she ran upstairs with a smile. Adrian, who was pushed to the ground, shrugged and immediately jumped up and chased after him. Want to escape?
Can you escape?
To be honest, Nicole is not the most suitable candidate for the heroine of "American Beauty". She is a little younger and is at least seven years younger than Spacey. This experience gap makes it difficult for her to fully grasp the character's qualities. The original Annette Bening and Spacey were the same year.
But Nicole is not without advantages, so it goes without saying the experience between the couple, especially after Adrian intervened and her ambition was further ignited, and there was a lot of resonance with the role of Caroline.
Moreover, Adrian outlined a very wonderful prospect for her, and she would not fail to try to catch these things. You know, after Adrian grabbed her and violated her fiercely, she proudly told him that the prostitution fund she collected was already hundreds of dollars. If it were even a few weeks ago, such words would never appear from Nicole's mouth, and people were always slowly changing.
Of course, more importantly, there is no more suitable woman around Adrian. Since you have obtained all the script, why can't you give up the nomination opportunity to your own woman?
Kate and Gwyneth are both too young, Blanchett is OK, but just now he took the position as the Little Golden Man, Julia and Zeta Jones' temperaments do not match. Monica and Sophie can try it, but they are all big belly now.
So after all the picks, only Nicole and Naomi, and Nicole is more suitable among them, so there is no need to say more.
As for "The Legend of Witches", it doesn't matter. Anyway, this is prepared to allow Nicole and Naomi to star together, and the script does need to be revised more carefully. This movie has some inherent flaws, so the original version only has a reputation but no box office. If these flaws can be filled in, it will be far better than the original version.
Besides, he also prepared a script for Naomi, and postponing the filming of "The Legend of Witches and the Love" will not affect anything.
After acquiring Global, the good scripts received have increased in geometric numbers. Most screenwriters and producers still like to cooperate with big companies. "Behind the Lies" was discovered in this situation. The whole story is very consistent with Naomi who is taking the thriller route. The heroine may not have a broad space to play as Caroline in "American Beauty", but Harrison Ford has agreed to play the villain. This gimmick is enough to attract a large number of people's attention, and Naomi's popularity will increase accordingly.
Sam Mendes, who is director, has no opinion on the lineup, and as a new director, he has little say in it, and Adrian promises to give him enough power on the set.
Alan Ball, who wrote the script, was somewhat dissatisfied with Nicole playing Caroline, but he also didn't have much say. He also thought that Spacey was good at playing the male lead, so everything was settled. The only thing that had objections after the exchange was Sarah, who played her daughter.
Do you really think it's good for me to play in this role, Ed?Sarah privately found Adrian and asked.
Don’t you think you should better hone your acting skills, Sarah?
Adrian asked back, "Do you just want to star in comedy or magic dramas? Don't you want to hear the praise from the film critics?"
Sarah opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she looked at Adrian never spoke. After waiting for a while, Adrian hugged her in her arms: Well, if you really don't want to play this role, then...
It doesn't matter, just do it.Sarah suddenly raised her head and said, "As long as you think, I will do my best."
After staring at her for a while, Adrian smiled slightly, held the girl's face and lowered her head to give her a deep kiss, and then said in her ear: Look forward to your puppy.
Sarah, who was originally a little depressed, then burst into laughter. She played Leicester's daughter Jenny, and her follower Love played Angela who pretended to be mature in exchange for recognition. This was the first time that the two of them had worked together in the same movie after "I Know What You Do Last Summer". It was no wonder that Sarah laughed.
In fact, Adrian initially wanted Sarah to play Angela, and Love to play Jenny. She is more beautiful in appearance and is more suitable for dyeing her hair golden, but in terms of role, Jenny's experience undoubtedly resonates with her more.
Sarah can be regarded as treating Adrian wholeheartedly, so Adrian won't let her suffer, so she finally changed her role with Love.
Also, slowly playing some roles that require more acting skills, accumulating some positive reviews, and then winning one or two nominations, it is not impossible for the Oscar-best actress in the end.
After basically finalizing many of the matters of "American Beauty", Adrian hurried back to New Zealand. Although it was only three or four days later, for the crew without the director's control, the efficiency and effect will only become worse.
This is true. Although he had explained to several deputy directors what to shoot when he left, and prepared a plan, explaining what they would do if there was something delayed in the middle and needed to postpone the return, only about 30% of the things the deputy directors could use.
Frankly speaking, I was disappointed, but I didn't want to blame everyone. I watched the filming and you all tried your best.Having said that, I still don’t want this to happen again next time. Since you can exert 100% of your strength, you should be able to exert 200% of your strength.
After reading the clips shot by the crew during their departure, Adrian concluded, and then the assistant director, assistant director and executive producer all began to feel miserable.
Although Adrian pretended not to see it, he still increased the logistics support. For example, he specially prepared a helicopter to facilitate someone to go to the depths of the National Forest to film, and at the same time, it also facilitated Adrian to run back and forth between the groups.
As for the equipment needed to set up camp in the forest park, there are all kinds of things.
The next clip is still very fragmented, McKellen still has to exchange it between the gray robe and the white robe, and the previous shot is still in Charles, and the next shot is to go to White City.
Gandalf had the ability to move instantly, so he could come and go freely in these places.
McKellen still looks so fond of jokes, it seems that the Oscar defeat has no effect on him at all.
It doesn’t matter, I have seen a lot of such things, and you don’t even take them seriously. Do you still need to take them seriously, as an old man?He laughed at Adrian's inquiry.
I like you more and more, Ian, are you interested in playing other heroes after the filming of "Lord of the Rings"?Adrian asked him immediately.
I think playing an epic character is enough.The old man thought about it and replied.
This is not an epic character, but... forget it, you will know then.Adrian smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, let's get started."
Now the filming of the Battle of Baicheng...
In one scene, the Regent thought that his second son Faramir was also dead. In a crazy situation, he ignored the fact that Faramir was still alive and put him on firewood to prepare for cremation. Pipin could not stop it. Then Gandalf rode a white horse and broke in and killed the Regent and rescued Faramir.
This is a pretty simple scene, but the old man McKellen always likes to be unexpected. Just after he broke in, he held his wooden stick with his hands and shouted at Pipin: Let me kill him!
But when Mendes really started to contact producers in Hollywood, he had no experience in filmmaking, which became a gap that he could not cross. Those second- and third-rate producers didn't mind letting him, a novice, serve as director, and could direct stage plays for so many years, and there were many good works.
