Yi Lanli looked at Paul in front of him, with a trace of astonishment in his eyes. Is this a reincarnation of history?

In the previous life, Paul did not participate in the creation of this work in any form; but in this life, after going round and round, Paul still proposed the name "Edge of Tomorrow", and the film finally returned to its original point. Is this coincidence, or fate? Or is it... the butterfly effect?

"What's the matter? Don't you like it?" Paul noticed Lanly's surprise. He didn't think too much, and he chewed with his chin. "Indeed, this name is a bit literary. It's not as simple as a commercial movie. It doesn't look like it. What's the potential for big sales. But, I think the content we discussed just now, this name is quite suitable. Don't you like it?"

"Haha." Lan Li chuckled and shook his head, "No, I didn't mean that. I'm just thinking about it. Why don't you ask everyone your opinion? Edge of Tomorrow" is the name of the last movie box office failure One of the reasons? Lanly is not a market researcher, so naturally there is no way to know, so in this life, Lanly decides to leave it to destiny, "Guys,'Edge of Tomorrow', what do you think? Paul thought of it."

Everyone fell silent and chewed the name carefully.

Lucinda nodded, "I think it's pretty good. At least, I will walk into the movie theater out of curiosity. The name sounds a bit like Nolan."

Derek raised his right hand high, "I like it!" Then he looked at Billy excitedly, "What do you think? This name is very consistent with the topic we just discussed."

Billy shrugged, "I'm not good at this. But it's not bad."

In the end, all eyes were on Tim. Tim did not react, but kept repeating, "Tomorrow's edge. Tomorrow's edge. Tomorrow's edge."

The appearance of no one and muttering to oneself is really uncontrollable. Paul looked up and said, "If you are performing in the West End, you will definitely be blasted off the stage, right?" Lan Li's mouth curled slightly because of Paul. His words rose greatly.

At this moment, Tim came back to his senses. As soon as he looked up, he saw that he had become the focus of everyone. He blinked, not knowing why, Lucinda reminded him, Tim nodded repeatedly, "I think this The name is very good. It has a sci-fi feel and fits our theme. That’s it!"

Finally, all eyes turned to Lan Li. At this moment, Lan Li felt the real feeling brought by the title of "executive producer".

"Then, it's up to Frank Marshall's meaning next." Lanly's answer was unexpected but reasonable. The whole topic started because of Frank, and it was natural to return to Frank in the end. What's more, everyone present is focused on the production of the film, and knows very little about commercial and market considerations. In the final analysis, it is still up to Frank to decide.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Lucinda saw it and interrupted in due course, "So, the discussion of the script will come to a paragraph for the time being. I know that in order to recreate, you still need to continue to discuss, but I need a little time." Lucinda’s style suddenly became simple and straightforward. Both Derek and Tim wanted to interject, but Lucinda’s words did not stop at all. They just stopped them with sight, and then went on, "At present, the various roles have been carried out. Two rounds of auditions, I have selected some waiting lists, you can make some comments, and I will conduct auditions based on your comments later."

While staying aside, Lucinda took out her laptop from the side, “Each actor has three videos, one is the interview video taken by themselves, and the first and second round videos. I’m interested. If you do, click on it to take a look and give me some advice."

Billy immediately waved his hand impatiently, "This is not my job." Then he lowered his head and began to write and draw in his notebook, but Derek sitting next to him was curious. , But Billy didn't give him a chance and bumped Derek with his shoulder, "Return to mind, just put together an outline of our stuff..."

Derek slumped his head down in depression, but it was only for a moment, and then he regained his spirits and went to work.

Paul took the laptop and found the folder under Lucinda's instructions; Tim stood up and walked behind Paul. The two began to browse the names of the folders, which were the names of the actors.

Lucinda raised her head and saw the motionless Lan Li, "Aren't you going to give some advice?"

Lan Li chuckled and replied, "Not long ago, I was the one who was judged, and now I start to judge other people. It feels a bit strange." Executive producer, Lan Li has a real sense of it now, but it really executes. There are still many things to adapt to, and every aspect of film production is definitely not that simple.

"Leave the decision to Paul." If it is Tom Cruise, then he needs to check every actor and build the cast lineup entirely with him as the core, but for Lan Lilly, the overall film is still more important. , With Paul’s opinion as the core, select actors and make sure that each actor’s style can serve the film. However, Lan Li can still make some comments, "Apart from the video, is there a list?"

"Yes." Lucinda looked at Lan Li in confusion, not quite understanding the meaning of Lan Li's move.

There are tens of thousands of actors in Hollywood. It is almost impossible to match actors with faces just by name. As the casting director, Lucinda has gone through three rounds of selection before and after, and now the actors on the list have a relatively deep impression; however, Lan Li has never watched the audition video and asked for the list without thinking. What's the use? Do you want to play a game of soldiers and generals?

Despite this, Lucinda did not ask too much, and took a list from the briefcase next to it and handed it to Lan Li. This list is for her to simply record her opinions next, to see if the director, screenwriter or producer has any special actors or special requirements.

Lan Li took it, seeming to perceive Lucinda's doubts, but didn't explain it, but instead asked, "How is it, are there many actors coming to audition?"

"Not much. But there are." Lucinda is also a sincere person, telling the truth.

Without a big-name actor or director, it is not easy for the crew to attract more outstanding actors. However, every day in Hollywood, there are actors seeking jobs, so any crew can find actors for auditions, even small independent crews like "buried alive".

Lan Li raised his eyebrows, "Huh, breathed a sigh of relief. I thought the curse of the media had taken effect." This made Lucinda smile.

The first part of the list is the alternate heroine.

The heroine of "Edge of Tomorrow" is Rita Volataski. This is a female warrior. After the aliens invaded the earth, they occupied the entire European continent like a bamboo, and it was still spreading further. During the Battle of Verdun, Rita turned out to be born, defeated the aliens and gained Since the fight against aliens, mankind's first victory. As a result, she was hailed as the "Angel of Verdun" and became a national hero.

In fact, Rita is the same as Cage. They all unexpectedly possessed the ability of time and space reincarnation, which is why Rita won the battle of Verdun. Unfortunately, Rita subsequently lost this ability. Now it is Cage’s turn. Rita hopes that Cage can copy her. The original miracle led mankind to victory.

Corresponding to Cage, Rita is also a very in-depth character. She has witnessed the death of her lover a hundred times, but she is powerless; she has personally experienced the torture of infinite slaughter and reincarnation, and the rebirth of Nirvana; she is more eager to defeat the aliens than anyone else, just for revenge because she no longer Have any more loved ones.

Compared with Cage's growth and development, the other characters in the story are relatively fixed, because they cycle and reincarnate on the same day, and Rita is no exception. Therefore, the spark between Rita and Cage depends on the actors.

First of all, the two people have the friendship of fighting side by side. Rita can feel the vicissitudes of Cage's eyes, although she doesn't know how Cage was "a day ago", nor does this repeated "day" really affect Cage. What impact does it bring, because every time she restarts ~www.novelhall.com~, her memory will be zeroed out, but the two people feel the same, and the bond between Rita and Cage is also deepened invisibly.

Secondly, the love between two people who are sick and pity each other. People can complain that this is a common problem in Hollywood routines. The hero and the heroine must have the spark of love. But in this work, the fateful entanglement and interlacing of the two people actually creates A spark of heart-to-heart in a different time and space.

In the end, Rita is not a vase, she is a warrior reborn from the ashes, iron-blooded and tough, but deep in her heart there is fragility and sadness.

This is also the most special part of the movie compared with the previous life. Both Cage and Rita are typical action movie characters. From start to finish, the pleasure/sense of the action scene is the main point; but both characters are Carrying their respective connotations and depths, they fit the film's theme of reincarnation, telling the meaning of war, life and time.

Therefore, the role requirements must be an excellent action actor, but also an excellent literary and opera actor. There are not many such actors in Hollywood.

One thing that must not be forgotten is Lan Li. As an actor, Lan Li met both requirements at the same time, which is undoubtedly lucky; but the problem is that he is only 21 years old. Even if a man can grow a beard and increase his visual age, the choice of actresses is still limited. Under the age of thirty, otherwise, the reaction between the two protagonists is not convincing, then the so-called love line can only be nonsense. This is bad news for the ambitious crew members. It is definitely bad news.

In this way, the options that were already stretched are now even more valuable.

In the last life, Emily Blunt completed the task brilliantly; in this life, the script is likely to go further, so who can take on such an important task? ()
