MTL - You Made Me a Superstar-Chapter 512 Dilemma
Chapter 512 Dilemma
Delaware.
The bustling city corner is filled with stench and countless fishy smells.
In the dilapidated tent, a pair of godless eyes looked at the camera, full of confusion and helplessness.
Some children curled up in the corner, while others dared to approach the "Spider-Man" crew, and when they saw a friendly face, the children became more daring, and even grimaced at the staff , and then ran away laughing.
"I didn't expect to go round and round, and I could only choose this land in the end. The conditions are too bad..."
Although he repeatedly reminded himself that Zhou Yang is an amazing director who can turn around in adversity, Cruise is still desperate after seeing the current situation that "Spider-Man" is facing.
At the same time some regrets…
I regret joining the "Spider-Man" crew, and even more regretting that I came to this bird place from the drunken Hollywood with the "Spider-Man" crew.
Why reject the superhero movie "King Kong Tiger"?
Delaware Governor Howard has no interest in the movie "Spider-Man" at all, let alone any help and support for the movie, completely leaving the movie in a stage of self-destruction.
Movies like are like children who grew up in the slums not far away. Although the good social welfare in the United States prevents them from starving to death, they live in a muddled way every day, like uncivilized maggots.
However, Zhou Yang doesn't seem to care about these things at all.
Cruise looked in the direction of Zhou Yang subconsciously. While Zhou Yang asked the staff to help clean the abandoned warehouse and old residential building not far away, he followed another wave of "Polari mobile phones" written on it. The staff distributed some cotton-padded clothes and food to the homeless.
November 30th.
The weather is already very cold.
Cruise really can't figure out what reason to shoot "Spider-Man" at this point. At the same time, he is also worried about his future.
"Is it possible that our acting career started with Chainsaw and ended with Spider-Man?"
Cruise muttered to Trenster next to him.
Trenster smiled bitterly when he heard Cruise's words: "Do we still have a choice? Let's continue to exercise, make a good movie, and don't think about anything else."
When the two followed "Spider-Man" to Delaware, they were like on a thief ship and never got off again.
After Trenster said this, he followed the martial arts instructor Zhao Bo to continue to practice basic skills.
only…
I don't know why, but I always feel like a "lost dog".
"I still don't understand, even in Delaware, there are prosperous areas, why did you choose this place where birds don't **** as a studio? And you have to choose actors here..."
Cruise shook his head, keeping up with Trenster, in disbelief.
"Who knows, anyway, what Mr. Zhou Yang arranges, we can do what we do. Now there is no choice..."
………………
When the gentlemen of Great Britain set foot on the American continent for the first time and were about to starve to death, the Indians brought food to save their lives, so the gentlemen set this day as Thanksgiving, thanking the Almighty Lord for saving them, After giving thanks, they wielded butcher knives and slaughtered the indigenous "barbarians", and finally officially took over this "borderless land".
When he was in New York or Los Angeles, Zhou Yang felt only prosperity and hustle and bustle. Even standing at the subway entrance, he felt crowded and prosperous.
Watching their films, Zhou Yang saw "freedom", "democracy", "equality" and "human rights", and there was no trace of any robbers.
When he came to Delaware, Zhou Yang could feel some traces of the Indian ethnicity. Occasionally, he saw some wandering artists who looked like Orientals and had whips on their heads on the street. On the street, he picked up the Gina flute and played desolate and mournful music, with a roar in his voice, as if bringing people back to this continent centuries ago.
The artist is very lonely. In this slum, everyone is living a decent life, and no one appreciates the music. After playing for an afternoon, except for the shivering body, no audience stopped to listen.
But this wandering artist did not move...
He performed in the same place for several days in a row. Occasionally, when Zhou Yang's crew delivered food, the artist would say "thank you" in a strange foreign language, and then continued to play as if he was completely isolated from this world. It looks very unique.
December 1st morning.
When the "Spider-Man" crew finished cleaning the warehouse and set up the corresponding studio, Zhou Yang saw the Indian-born brother again.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the riverbed not far away has formed ice, but the little Indian brother is still wearing thin clothes, sitting in the slum and playing music that no one listens to, like a stubborn fighter.
"Sir, you will succeed."
Just when Zhou Yang finished listening to a song and was about to leave to choose the actor of "Spider-Man", he heard the little brother stand up and talk to Zhou Yang.
"Huh? Do you speak English?" Zhou Yang was shocked.
In the past few days, this little brother has responded to Zhou Yang with words that Zhou Yang could not understand. After hearing pure English from his mouth for the first time, Zhou Yang was stunned.
"I can only communicate in English, after all, everyone speaks English..." The little brother looked at Zhou Yang with a helpless expression on his face.
"Oh…"
Under the sun, Zhou Yang began to chat with this little brother.
The little brother is named Tuka, and his personality is not as lonely and paranoid as it seems on the surface, but on the contrary, he is very talkative.
But when talking about his life, the little brother's emotions inevitably produced an indescribable sense of sadness.
"A long, long time ago, I thought I was an American, I spoke English, and I was proud to live in this wonderful country. Later, when I went to school and got in touch with people, I found that many children looked at We look weird and they call us a minority in private..."
"Later, by accident, I heard such a piece of history..."
"We're sitting here where those people landed centuries ago..."
“…”
Graphics are getting more and more talkative.
He feels that Zhou Yang is different from other people who are in a hurry. Zhou Yang seems to like listening to stories, listening to some different stories, and in front of this Chinese person, you can easily open the chat box, and you don't even know why. Creates the illusion that he will understand and empathize.
Zhou Yang listened to Tuka's story, silently saw the street in the distance, and the long river, feeling the unknown past.
The time passed little by little, and before noon, Zhou Yang saw the Guena flute in Tuka's hand, and the melody of "The Last of the Mohicans" appeared in his mind.
Suddenly want to make a movie about the sixteenth century, when the gentlemen landed in this place...
But then, he temporarily put aside his thoughts.
Now is not the time…
Declined Tuka's invitation to dinner, Zhou Yang returned to the "Spider-Man" crew, but the song "The Last of the Mohicans" was lingering in his mind.
Then I picked up the paper and pen for the first time, and wrote most of the song. There were some places that were not smooth before, but now it feels like it's coming naturally.
After writing , Zhou Yang looked at the incomplete parts of the piece...
As I was about to think about it, I heard a knock on the door.
"Mr. Zhou, the casting news for "Spider-Man" has been released. A group of actors have arrived. Do you want to meet in person?"
"it is good!"
………………
The suppression of Zhou Yang by the Hollywood group is extremely thorough.
This kind of thoroughness even affected Will Smith and Uncle Anthony, who had already signed contracts.
They received a ban from the film union, and their company forced them to appear in several films.
Because of the reason of signing the contract earlier, if they violated these prohibitions, they will most likely not claim the sky-high contract, and finally have to give up.
So their roles are vacant.
The crew of "Spider-Man" and the actors who followed were all very heavy, and everyone felt that they could not see the hope of the future.
But although it is heavy, the work is still very responsible and conscientious. After all, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and there is really no choice but to go all the way to the dark.
The choice of "Spider-Man" is still near Delaware's most famous homeless gathering place and slum.
There is no way, except for this area, where Zhou Yang can get the right to use a large piece of land, other places are more or less unsatisfactory, either he can't rent it, he can't rent it, or he can't get approval.
There is also Howard's inspiration.
Governor Howard abruptly regarded Zhou Yang as a charitable donation, saying that only this place can be rented for free until the end of the contract...
What else can Zhou Yang choose?
In the afternoon, there were a lot of people who came to join in the fun, basically either homeless people or a group of laymen who didn’t even know what movies were.
Zhou Yang looked at these people with enough enthusiasm on his face.
Zhou Yang firmly believes that there are no bad actors, only directors who can't be trained.
After all, the miner Zhao Zhen can be trained by Marie Vane to be the best actor in Venice, why can't others?
And the characters in "Spider-Man", except for some characters that are slightly more important, the rest of the characters really don't have much requirements for acting skills, as long as they are properly selected, it is enough.
But when it came time to actually audition...
Zhou Yang found that he was completely out of control. Many people came here to cheat and eat and drink. Except for addicts who are blind, decadent, have little hope in life, and eat and die, there is no one who can satisfy " Casting requirements for Spider-Man.
Until evening, Zhou Yang didn't find any suitable actor, not even a decent supporting role.
What these people are really outrageous!
But even so, Zhou Yang still did not give up hope and waited until the evening.
Just when he felt that he had nothing to gain today, Zhou Yang finally got a decent actor.
And, not a…
but a batch of…
