Chapter 181 Finding Another Path
Chapter 181 Find a new way
The preparations for the new film are on track. Now when we talk about this film, William is much more serious than when he was looking for inspiration. Perhaps now he is closer to the image of a great Hollywood director that people imagine.
"You should understand that no matter how suitable your appearance and acting skills are, or how fluent your English is, you will not be the first choice of the producers."
After all, William and Yan Huaizuo have been friends for many years, so he didn't mince words when talking to Yan Fuguang, and his expressions didn't mean any fun.
"No matter how famous you are in China, it doesn't mean anything to Hollywood. You have to have enough reasons to convince them."
William's tone was serious and thoughtful. He wanted Yan Fuguang to understand that Hollywood must be different from everything she was used to.
In fact, Yan Fuguang understands better than anyone else that there are rules everywhere, but what about Hollywood?
She is not afraid of comparisons of strength.
As for the background, there is a high probability that there will be no need to compare these things this time. If the background has the final say, William can directly choose her.
So the only thing that affects the producer's decision is popularity.
In the eyes of this group of Americans, not only did she have no experience of success, she didn't even have the experience of fighting on the streets, so they had no way of judging her.
But since William came all the way to call Yan Fuguang, there must be something he can do.
"You don't know who the leading actor is yet, do you?" William suddenly blinked, very mysteriously.
Yan Fuguang was thoughtful, and she seemed to be able to guess what was going on.
The only possibility is that the film crew selects a male star with great box office appeal and leaves the box office pressure to him to resist. In this way, the female lead does not matter even if she is not famous enough.
And if the actress is not required to be famous, her conditions perfectly meet all the requirements of the film studio.
"How about John Kruger?"
William finally revealed the news that has not yet been announced to the public.
Yan Fuguang has lived in this world for two years, so he has naturally heard the name of this top Hollywood star.
I didn't expect that she would take advantage of others.
However, Yan Fuguang's mentality is not bad, and being conceited and arrogant are completely unnecessary emotions.
"He came in person for the second audition, and the film crew will refer to his opinions to a large extent."
William continued: "So work hard and show your first audition performance. At least from the director's point of view, I think you are the most suitable among all candidates."
The audition was scheduled for three days, so Yan Fuguang took the time to quickly review John Kruger's movie.
John is indeed one of the most famous actors in the world, and his personal box office total ranks eighth among all actors in the world.
The eighth ranking may not seem high, but five of the first seven people are actors in superhero series. One of the other two is an 80-year-old man, and the other is a powerful actor favored by the academy. Only John Crew
Ge Ge can be regarded as the king of commercial films who always stands at the top of the pyramid.
Although John, who was born in 1974, is already in his forties, he is still as strong as ever and can fight, run and jump.
"Are you really going to work with John Krueger?"
Zhang Yuanyuan repeated this question countless times in two days. To her, John was almost a character from another world.
Yan Fuguang was helpless: "We haven't cooperated yet, so there's no need to get excited so early."
Zhang Yuanyuan began to mutter: "You don't understand, you don't understand, how can gods understand the joys and sorrows of us mortals..."
Mo was stunned, Zhang Yuanyuan had been in this state since the last time she came out from William's place.
Yan Fuguang shook his head and ignored her. She was going to watch all of the dozen or so films John had made in the past ten years.
They are all commercial blockbusters, so there is no need to think too much about the connotation. The main thing is to get familiar with his performance style.
But the interesting thing is that most of the commercial action blockbusters produced by William are the ultimate expression of personal heroism, and the female protagonists are basically role-players.
"Edge of the World" is probably the only script he has accepted in ten years in which the heroine is as important as him in terms of role and role.
Thinking of this, Yan Fuguang was somewhat looking forward to the scene opposite John.
It was still the same empty big room as the last audition, and Yan Fuguang finally met this famous Hollywood superstar.
He is not too tall, at least according to the height of foreigners, probably a little taller than Yan Fuguang, who wears flat shoes.
Outside the camera, he looked more relaxed than the chic and neat image on the big screen. He was chatting with William with a large glass of iced Americano in his hand. He didn't know what they were talking about, and the two of them laughed together.
"Yan, good afternoon!"
When William saw Yan Fuguang, he was the first to say hello.
John Kruger turned around and saw a tall woman walking towards them.
Although she has a slender figure, she does not look thin. Even judging from John's many years of filming experience, this girl should be very neat and agile. There is something special about both her posture and the rhythm of her walking.
of beauty.
Not to mention appearance.
Even in the glamorous world of Hollywood, where handsome men and women from all over the world gathered, John had never seen a girl like Yan Fuguang.
Although you can tell she is Asian at first glance, Yan Fuguang's facial features are much deeper than those of ordinary Asians.
Perhaps in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, skin that is too fair is not popular and makes people feel weak and vulnerable, especially action film actresses, who basically do not have a fair and thin image.
But Yan Fuguang is different. His skin, as smooth as bone china, glows with a healthy luster, plump and full of vitality, as if the most primitive and highest-level beauty of life are gathered together, constantly stimulating the viewer's nerves.
John never thought he would feel such a strong visual impact on a strange Asian girl.
He couldn't help but look back at the director, and his reaction was expected by William.
As a successful commercial film director, William knows how to present the beauty of female characters, but this role is different, and so is Yan Fuguang.
In a sense, the heroine plays the role of a growth mentor for the male protagonist, helping him grow from a soft-legged recruit to a fierce warrior.
This character must have a sense of power, and even a sense of oppression, but how should this sense of oppression be expressed?
This can be seen from the choice of actresses.
Do you choose an actress with a tanned complexion based on public opinion, let her have perfect muscle lines through high-intensity strength training, and then wear tights to show the results of months of high-intensity training in the camera?
Or should we find another way?
Although William also asked Yan Fuguang to maintain a certain amount of strength training, he had imagined countless times in his mind that the language on the camera would not be so simple and shallow.
