Best Movie Star

Chapter 656: lessons learned

As one of the most famous producers in the circle, Charles Rowan is of course aware of the changes in the current social situation. Black political correctness in Hollywood circles is becoming more and more important. The proportion of people of color in theaters is also increasing. More important Yes, films involving black protagonists can often cause a sensational effect in the media and attract the attention of the audience.

"Let a black man be the Green Lantern?" he muttered.

Charles Rowan still has some doubts about this, after all, Hal Jordan is a white man in the comics.

But at the same time, he felt that it was feasible.

After going around and talking so much, this is actually Matthew's real purpose. He saw Charles Rowan pondering and said with a smile, "I just thought of Wonder Woman's feminism, and I mentioned it casually."

Charles Rowan shook his head quickly and said, "Your idea is interesting."

Matthew said embarrassedly, "I think the movie should be in line with the development of the social situation."

"It's very reasonable." Charles Rowan obviously took it seriously, "but will the words of the black male lead affect the choice of the white audience..."

Hearing this, Matthew deliberately thought about it, and then said, "Isn't it easy? Find a black actor who is very popular among white audiences."

Charles Rowan nodded, "It's also a way."

Matthew's eyes swept across his face quickly, and he specially emphasized, "I just thought of taking it out for a joke, don't take it seriously."

Charles Rowan smiled, "Let's talk about it later, this project is still in the early planning stage, there are so many aspects to consider, it's a pity you can't play."

"I can only say I'm sorry." Matthew sighed, "I'm really not interested in acting in superhero movies."

At his current stage, he doesn't have to rely on starring in superhero movies to increase his fame.

The two chatted a few more words, Matthew took the initiative to leave, Charles Rowan sent Matthew out of the reception room, returned and sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

Of course he wouldn't just make a decision to revise key factors in a big project with an investment of $250 million just because of someone else's words, but Matthew's words also reminded him that "Green Lantern" may There is another way to go.

In previous interviews with Kevin Tesuhara, both said that the DC Comics movies were one step behind the Marvel movies, but in fact they knew very well that if you count "X-Men" and "Spider-Man", DC Comic book movies are more than a step behind.

Marvel has already started the Avengers Alliance program. Although DC's Justice League appeared earlier in the comics, and even the Avengers imitated the Justice League, but in movies with far more influence than comics, Marvel has already taken the lead, and even if DC launches the Justice League, it will inevitably become a follower.

To break this situation, maybe really need some unusual means.

In order to ensure the success of the film, he, Warner Bros. and DC Comics chose the safest way in the script, and the male protagonist had to choose the safest one, but Matthew Horner refused and didn't even want to talk about it...

"A black actor acceptable to the vast majority of the audience..."

Charles Rowan's thoughts fell on Matthew's joke-like words again, and then a name appeared in his head-Will Smith.

Looking at the whole of Hollywood, this is the only black actor who can truly be accepted by the majority of white audiences and who have thoroughly proved himself in the movie market.

The phone rang suddenly, and Charles Rowan took out his phone to connect, and the call was from Kevin Tesuhara.

"Charles, I saw Matthew leave," asked Kevin Tesuhara on the other end of the phone. "How are you guys doing?"

"He refused," Charles Rowan said.

Kevin Tesuhara's slightly surprised voice sounded in the receiver, "Matthew refused? Why?"

"Like he refused to play Iron Man, he's not interested in superhero movies..." Charles Rowan explained briefly, then said, "Kevin, I have some new ideas about the Green Lantern project. I want to talk to you about my thoughts, do you have time now? I'll go look for you."

Charles Rowan hung up the phone, left the reception room, and took the elevator to the floor where Kevin Tesuhara's office was located.

On the other hand, Matthew went out of the Warner Building and went to the Warner Studios next to him. He originally wanted to go to Akiva Goldsman's office to talk to him, but he didn't expect Akiva Goldsman to be away, and he thought of Charlize Cyrus. The "Burning Plains" crew that Long participated in filmed in the Warners Studios after they had been out on location some time ago, and then walked along the road renovated by the studio to the studio where they were located.

The film that Charles Theron participated in is not enough to describe it with twists and turns. It started shooting last year. As a result, it encountered many problems such as insufficient funds, a strike by the screenwriters, and third-party disputes. As a result, the film is still shooting. not done.

When he was on the phone with Charles Theron some time ago, he heard her mention that the film was originally scheduled to be released in this year's holiday slot, but there have been unexpected situations one after another, and the release date has been postponed to next year's holiday slot.

Walking down the studio's path, Matthew's mind returned to his previous meeting with Charles Rowan, who seemed to be thinking about his casual joke, but Warner Bros. and DC Comics would No one can say for sure.

This kind of top-level production project with an investment of 250 million US dollars, such as an important decision related to the actor, must be cautious.

Charles Rowan certainly wouldn't rush to turn the Green Lantern's protagonist into a black man just because he heard a few words from him.

As for whether Charles Rowan will think about Will Smith, he can't guarantee it.

But then again, how many real black business star actors are there in Hollywood?

In any case, this basically effortless pit has been dug. Whether or not Will Smith can be pitted depends on luck.

If this pit is useless, he won't care too much, just look for opportunities in the future.

When approaching the studio, Matthew called Charlize Theron, and to his surprise, Charlize Theron got the call and came out of the studio in person.

"What's the matter?" Matthew asked when he saw Charlize Theron in his daily attire with almost no makeup on his face, "I didn't shoot today."

Charlize Theron shook her head, "Don't mention it." She was standing at the door of the studio, and she didn't mean to bring Matthew in, she said, "The director of the crew was smashed by the crooked set wall just an hour ago. I was sent to the hospital, the filming was interrupted again, and I don’t know when the filming will resume.”

"It's been almost a year since this film was made?" Matthew asked.

"Well." Charlize Theron said honestly, "I don't think it will be finished in another year."

Matthew also shook his head and said, "Sally, after this film, don't take any more independent films invested by small companies. There is no guarantee."

Charlize Theron nodded, "This lesson is enough." She reached out her hand unconsciously and made a gesture, "I must have been crazy at the time to want to take on such a film."

The lengthy filming and the series of unexpected situations are enough to upset anyone.

Of course, Matthew knows why Charlize Theron wants to take this film. After Charlize Theron has made some achievements in business, he wants to hit the Oscar for best actress again.

"Don't talk about me." Charlize Theron took the initiative to change the subject, "The "Iron Man" you invested in has a very good box office and response. During the two days off, I read some newspaper reviews."

"Is the media praising me?" Matthew was thick-skinned.

Charlize Theron shook his head, "Robert Downey Jr. has been mentioned a lot. Many commentators believe that Tony Stark, played by him, is the biggest highlight of the film. Few people mention your investment."

Matthew smiled indifferently. "It's normal, the investors are behind the scenes, the actors are in the front, and Robert Downey Jr. is doing really well."

"I think Robert Downey Jr. is just playing normally." Charlize Theron has a different opinion~www.wuxiahere.com~ I have dealt with Robert Downey Jr. before, and I feel that he himself has a similar relationship with Iron Man. Is it the key to having similar personalities? "

"You're right, Tony Stark's own setting is the key." Matthew admits this.

After thinking for a while, he said again, "Tony Stark has almost all men's dreams - rich, status, sports cars, private jets. Beautiful women, high IQ, courage, There's also a sense of justice, and of course, the most important thing is that he has a sense of realism that other superheroes don't have."

"It's not just men." Charlize Theron deliberately winked, "Women also like this kind of role."

She suddenly laughed, "Actually, I think you will definitely be better off playing this role, and you can also perform in your true colors."

Matthew shrugged, "It's a pity that Marvel Studios is not willing to pay me a high enough salary."

Of course, the film "Iron Man" is not without criticism. For example, some people say that it is a very boring popcorn movie, and the villain has no sense of existence.

Compared to the funny and cute Iron Man, Iron Man is really dry and inconspicuous.

In his opinion, this is still good, at least the film still spends a certain amount of scenes on the villain, and in the near future, the villains of the Marvel super movie will become mouth-watering.

The kung fu of firing guns in the mouth is amazing, but in the decisive battle, they are all rookies.

Even if it's not a rookie, it's a brain-dead.

This is a commercial movie. Simple and mindless entertainment can achieve commercial purposes, and it will definitely not use time-consuming and laborious means.

Just as Matthew and Charlize Theron were standing in front of the studio chatting, a girl with long blond brown hair came out of the studio.
