Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 517 Stereotype

Charlotte would mention Black Mass at this time, naturally not because of rice caterpillars on her head.

In fact, he did think of an interesting way just now, which should be able to solve the problem.

He explained to the girl, who was dumbfounded.

"Are you sure this is okay?"

"certainly."

Charlotte is confident;

"Don't forget, you and Alexis were in a similar state back then!"

"...Okay, you're right!"

So, the next day, when Patty Jenkins, the director of "The Devil Wears Prada" was directing and filming, he found that his heroine's aura suddenly became much stronger.

"Great, that's it, Sally! You're in such good shape today!"

Patty Jenkins actually welcomes this change.

After all, what they were filming was the biopic of Eileen Wuornos, the first female serial killer in American history.

——Who would believe a serial killer who doesn’t even have a ferocious temperament?

Although Patty Jenkins, who had studied a lot of serial killer information before filming, knew that some serial killers did not have the feeling of a killer in life.

——But the question is, will the audience believe it?

Art originates from life and is higher than life.

——Every filmmaker has his own understanding of this sentence, just like there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people.

For Patty Jenkins, the simplest understanding is that the characters filmed must conform to the audience's mental image.

——This is what Charlize’s boyfriend, the great director Charlotte Booth, told her before the filming of "The Devil Wears Prada" started.

This makes sense to Patty Jenkins.

If nothing else, do British men have to be stereotypical sexually frigid gentlemen?

Do French women have to be so passionate that they are almost debauched?

Is Texas all rednecks?

of course not.

But for most movie viewers, this almost prejudiced view is the inherent impression in their hearts.

It is certainly not impossible to subvert this image in a movie, but it requires a lot of shots and time for the audience to accept it.

But that large amount of footage and time should be spent on telling the main plot.

Therefore, there are always various templates for various characters in movies.

There may be various details changes, but the core settings are still the same.

It is the job of the actors to make the same core show completely different feelings.

Specific to the movie "The Devil Wears Prada", the female serial killer Erin Wuornos must be tough and cruel, but on the other hand, she must make people feel that she is pitiful and even respectable.

Only when the audience hates her and likes her at the same time, and finally turns into a complicated sigh, can the creation of this character be considered successful.

And this is also the purpose of Charlize Theron investing in this movie.

——Patty Jenkins is very clear about the fact that he is making an Austrian movie.

She has no complaints.

As a new director and a woman, it is already rare to get such an opportunity.

However, thinking of Charlize's boyfriend, that Charlotte Booth, that great commercial film director, Patty Jenkins still couldn't help but sigh——

When can I reach the other person's level?

**********

Charlotte is really hot in Hollywood right now.

The release of the movie "The Mummy" once again pushed him to the forefront.

With only pre-sales and less than a full day of screening time, this comedy-tinged fantasy adventure film took in $37 million at the box office.

The reviews given by film critics are also quite good.

Not to mention film critics such as Kenneth Turan who have always liked to praise Charlotte's movies, even Roger Ebert, who has always been harsh on commercial movies,

This time I also gave two thumbs up evaluation——

"After the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, Hollywood's action-adventure movies have been at a low ebb for a long time. The movie "The Mummy" has made this genre rise again - this movie has an interesting story and good rhythm. The timing is so precise that you can’t help but fall into it.”

“What’s more important is the way this movie captures the natural landscape—the magnificence and majesty of the Sahara Desert, the mystery and vastness of the mirage, and the overwhelming and majestic nature of the sandstorm—all captured my imagination within 120 minutes. eye."

"I don't know how the director managed to make nature so beautiful, but after watching this movie, I immediately had the urge to travel to the desert..."

——Roger Ebert’s evaluation can be said to express the aspirations of many people.

In fact, many people do have plans to travel to the desert after watching "The Mummy". But when they called the airline to book tickets, they found that all the tickets to North Africa, Morocco and other places in the near future had been booked.

Even in large museums in New York, Washington and other places, the Egypt exhibition areas have seen a surge in traffic.

——Charlotte The influence of "The Mummy" suddenly exceeded the field of movies, setting off a wave of Egypt fever and desert fever in North America.

Although this craze may not last long, it has already benefited many people.

As a representative sent by Universal during the production of this film, Sean Daniel's status within Universal has also increased.

The call to immediately start preparations for the second part also sounded within Universal.

"Is it too early?"

Sean Daniel was a little worried.

After all, the movie has just been released one day, so even if the situation is great, is it a little too anxious to immediately start preparing for the second part?

"Not early at all!"

Sean's boss is more anxious than him,

"The success of this movie is largely due to Charlotte Booth - from the audience survey, we can also find that about 54% of the audience on the first day were directed at Charlotte Booth. Go."

"For a director, this kind of appeal is simply amazing."

Sean Daniel took a breath,

"Even many A-list celebrities cannot match his appeal."

"yes!"

Sean’s boss sighed,

"In this case, if you want to ensure the success of the second part, the best choice is to continue to ask Charlotte Booth to direct. But the problem is, this guy is a big-name director, and there is no shortage of film appointments - if we don't hurry up , I’m afraid his schedule won’t be able to keep up.”

"This is true!"

Hearing what his boss said, Sean Daniel couldn't help but become nervous.

However, what Sean didn’t know was that Universal was already too late——

Preparations for Charlotte's "Sherlock Holmes" have begun.
