Entertainment: Banned for Five Years, Became the Godfather of Hollywood

Chapter 21: Conditions that cannot be refused, the dream "Chu Family Class"



"Chicago Entertainment": "We seem to be foreseeing the fall of a new director star."

"This movie that is being filmed already has all the potential of a bad movie."

"According to the stills and information revealed by the official account, it is probably a jazz-related theme."

"Has the male protagonist Ryan Gosling made any good movies in recent years? There hasn't been a movie with an imdb score of 8 or higher in 10 years."

"The heroine is even more funny. She starred in comedy movies. Dare you ask if Emma Stone can sing and dance? Is this musical also a comedy? It's just nonsense."

"A newly established production company + a director with no experience in musicals + awkward starring = bad movie!"

With the announcement of the film "La La Land", many media also reported on Chu Xuan's new film.

As an up-and-coming Chinese director, when Chu Xuan's first film "Smart: Ghost Story" was released, the box office was fixed at 245 million US dollars!

Coupled with the "provocation" of the golden age of Hollywood, his popularity is not low.

Almost all the media stared at Chu Xuan's filming progress with a magnifying glass.

Part of the media maintained a positive attitude.

Because in the past 10 years, musicals seem to be in rapid decline.

People gradually abandoned this type of film.

Old-fashioned, unintelligible, and uninspired labels make young people scoff at musicals.

As a young director who is only 21 years old, Chu Xuan may be able to use novel power to bring musical films back to the public eye.

Through "Ghost Records", Chu Xuan also accumulated some fans.

His personal social media account has more than 3 million followers.

Everyone is looking forward to Chu Xuan's new movie.

And many media criticized Chu Xuan with a sharp voice.

For example, the "Chicago Entertainment News" mentioned at the beginning, as well as the "New York Times" and "The Washington Post" have all written articles criticizing Chu Xuan's new film.

Both male and female lead actors in the film were interviewed by the media.

Ryan Gosling said: "I never thought that if you don't have experience, you can't shoot well."

"Chu's talent is obvious to all the crew."

"As the soul of a musical, Chu's music simply subverts my perception."

"I believe that when the time comes, you will stand up and cheer for him in the theater."

Emma Stone smiled at the doubts and said:

"Say I can't sing and dance? Laugh."

"In the early days of filming, I had vocal and dance lessons every day, and every time I practiced until midnight."

"When the time comes, you'll understand that this movie is worth all the sweat and effort."

"I would love to be in a Chu Xuan movie."

"He made an offer I couldn't refuse."

Criticisms from the outside media mainly focused on the director and the two leading actors.

But they ignored the crew of the crew.

If the director is the chief designer of the film, then the cameraman is the one who helps the director realize it.

Van Hootema and Wally Pfister, these two are the chief photographers hired by Chu Xuan with high salaries.

In their previous lives, they were the photographers of director Christopher Nolan.

Van Hoytema was nominated for an Oscar for Best Cinematography for "Interstellar" and won eight heavyweight Best Cinematography awards.

Wally Pfister is the photographer for Memento and Batman: The Dark Knight.

He is also good at a variety of photography styles, and the results of the shots are very visually impactful.

In the parallel world, they have not yet become Nolan's royal photographer.

At this time, Christopher Nolan was still shooting niche literary films in Britain.

Of course, Chu Xuan unceremoniously poached Nolan's team and signed a contract directly to his company.

They will be the core members of the "Chu Family Class" in the future.

Of course, La La Land won't be as chilly as The Dark Knight.

But this bright and colorful style is obviously not difficult for the two master photographers.

As for the soundtrack, Chu Xuan also directly dug up Justin Hurwitz, the original composer of "La La Land".

When he found Justin Hurwitz by name, he was still a keyboard player in an underground band in Los Santos.

Justin Hurwitz couldn't believe whether he was alive or dead, that Chu Xuan, an up-and-coming director with such a reputation, would find himself!

"I have some very mature melodies that I need your help to compose. Is there a problem?"

"no problem!"

Can participate in filmmaking, get high salary, and play jazz by the way.

Who wants to hang out with an underground band that has one beat and one beat?

It is these seemingly irrelevant, but actually talented staff that build the cornerstone of the entire film.

They will also be members of the first-generation "Chu Family Class", and will continue to shoot a series of shocking movies.

...

"La La Land" was filmed smoothly under the direction of Chu Xuan.

At the same time, preparations for the second film "Silence of the Lambs" invested by Infinite Pictures after its establishment have also begun.

Elizabeth Olsen can't wait since she got the script.

These days, Chu Xuan is busy directing, and she is reading the script carefully at home.

Even according to the settings of the female protagonist's trainee agent, he signed up for the fbi agent training course!

Hollywood shoots hundreds of films every year, many of which are police films, spy films, etc.

FBI militarized training can also help actors get into shape better.

With the encouragement of Chu Xuan, Elizabeth Olsen went through half a month of training and gradually became like a qualified female agent.

Shooting training, fighting training, tactical training, and even special driving, physical fitness, law, intelligence gathering, etc...

Aomei trains exhausted every day.

But chatting with Chu Xuan on the phone at night, her exhaustion will disappear.

They are now in a state of "above AU, less than a lover".

Two lonely people in Los Santos, chatting with each other can also relieve stress.

"I've been exhausted recently. Today, my back is sore and I can't move."

"Then won't you be able to take on many female lead roles in police and gangster films in the future? Such roles are still very popular."

"Yeah, it's also thanks to you. If it wasn't for your reminder, I can't remember it."

"I'm also here to make you feel the character."

"By the way, has the male lead in this play been confirmed?"

"Not yet, he is an old actor, and he is still reading the script for the time being. I don't know if he will agree to play the villain."

For the characters in the parallel world, although they are the same as in the previous life, Chu Xuan has no idea in his heart.

Since he is a British actor, he is not based in Los Santos.

So it took Chu Xuan a lot of effort to find this old actor.

As a result, just as he was talking, Chu Xuan received a message from the other party's agent.

"Mr. Anthony Hopkins has read the script and is happy to appear in your company's film."

"We'll arrive in Los Santos the next morning, and we'll talk more when we have time."

Then he told Aomei the good news, which made Aomei quite excited.

"It's great, I've seen his "Deadly Moment", "The Burning Years", and "84 Cross Street". He is a very good actor!"

Unexpectedly, Aomei is also a fan of old drama bones.

Chu Xuan also reminded: "Although this film is very much looking forward to his performance, your acting skills are also very important. You need to play together to make the film more brilliant, which is quite challenging. Are you confident?"

"Have confidence! Don't worry, Chu, I will definitely perform well!"

Elizabeth Olsen is full of fighting spirit! *
