Chapter 789: "Ready Player One" starts filming, the king of drama appears!Half a month after the Oscars.
"Ready Player One" officially started filming at Warner Bros. Studios.
Both the male and female protagonists are relatively unknown actors. The male protagonist has appeared in some movies, but none of them were big commercial hits.
The only well-known character is Laser Silver in the last X-Men movie, who is a second-generation star.
The heroine started out in TV series and has done some low-budget horror and thriller movies.
However, one of the supporting actors, British comedian Simon Pegg, is pretty good.
One of the few British actors who has not appeared in Harry Potter.
Facing Chen An, an internationally renowned director, the actors were somewhat nervous.
Maybe I never thought I would be able to star in Chen An’s movie.
"Ok, stop looking. I'm not a monkey in a zoo. I should improve my condition and prepare for the next performance."
Chen An was talking to these actors to warm up the show in advance.
Lead actress Olivia Cooke said excitedly: "Director Nonono, we are so excited that we can finally star in a work directed by you."
Being able to take on this production is really a step up for her.
I didn't expect that my obscurity and worthlessness could sometimes become an advantage.
When she finally got the audition approval notice, she was so happy that she almost went crazy.
The "Parasite" crew returned to China some time after the Oscars.
But the popularity remains unabated, and the crew was surrounded by media reporters as soon as the plane landed.
It was difficult to break out of the encirclement.
After the trophy was brought back, Zeng Li quickly posted a video to show off her Oscar statuette.
Chen An finally made a move to obtain the streaming rights that he had been holding onto for a long time.
It has doubled compared to when the movie was about to end its run and was about to break the 1 billion box office mark.
Penguin gritted its teeth and acquired the sole copyright of the film and has begun to build momentum for it. It will be available on Penguin Video in a week for exclusive broadcast.
I bought it for five years in one go and spent a lot of money.
Officially launched on the online platform.
But the heat soon dissipated in less than a month.
When Chen An started filming in Hollywood, even the Warner Studios segments had not yet been completed.
A domestic TV series is released on Mango Channel!
"In the Name of People" topped the ratings on the entire network as soon as it was broadcast!
The national ratings exceeded 2 on the first day!
Only one episode has been released, but it already has the momentum of the king of dramas!
Less than an hour after it was aired, news about the TV series topped the trending searches on major lists!
Overnight, the entire Internet was discussing it!
It has been a long time since such a popular TV series appeared!
A political drama, it is unique and different from previous presentations, and it greatly impacts the audience's senses.
The famous scene has already appeared.
And then the ratings never fell from the top again!
The vice-state-level villain and the vivid characters, in addition to the performance of the protagonist, all the audiences were very satisfied.
The ratings are also skyrocketing!
After finishing filming in Los Angeles, the crew of "Ready Player One" has headed to England.
This movie is not difficult to shoot. Special effects and IP easter eggs are the themes, and script design is the difficult part.
In his previous life, Spielberg was old and could no longer do everything.
The theme of the movie is that the game world is beautiful, but reality is even better, and we should love reality more.
But the gaming world performed very well, and the so-called "metaverse", a topic that was later widely discussed in the science and technology community, was already very mature in the film and television industry.
The performance is very good, Spielberg built a very good game world 'Oasis'.
But the theme of the reality line obviously doesn't have much feeling.
Chen An reinforced this, reflecting the beauty of reality from some details. It can only be like this, this is a false proposition.
The emergence of games is due to the shortcomings of reality. It is used to make up for ordinary people's dissatisfaction with reality, construct a bizarre world, and let everyone become the protagonist.
Camberley, a filming city in England, is the headquarters of the 'Oasis' in the movie.
The scenery is beautiful, and any random shot will be a top-notch static landscape picture, with birds singing and flowers blooming, it is incredibly brilliant.
It's like the beautiful city in Andersen's fairy tales, with a very Western European flavor.
The crew needs to shoot a short shot here, and the large action scenes have already been shot at Warner Studios.
We invited Yuan Baye's martial arts team again, and now they have become the top team in Hollywood.
"You are actually quite good at acting, but you live in Hollywood."
Chen An said as he looked at the male and female protagonists who were removing their makeup after the filming ended.
This film kingdom has been wreaking havoc all over the world for many years and has brought together too many extraordinary people.
This is undoubtedly more competitive than other markets.
The male lead, Tye Sheridan, is already 21 years old, but still looks like an underage high school student, which is probably why Warner chose him.
"Thank you for the compliment, director. I still have a long way to go. I'm still young and will have many opportunities in the future."
Young and full of energy, he was all smiles and starred in Chen An's movie. He felt that he would soon be able to make a name for himself.
The heroine Olivia Cooke's appearance is only marginally good-looking, not outstanding. Compared to the male lead who is a second-generation star, her growing up experience was much more difficult.
He shot several TV series in England and gained a good reputation in his home country, but when he went to Hollywood, he could only act in horror movies, which was only slightly better than music MVs.
"I am honored to be able to act in your film. At least it will be much easier for me to survive in Hollywood in the future."
Olivia Cooke smiled, looking a little bitter.
Chen An's words touched her heart. She was able to play this role because she was cheap, her acting skills were up to standard, and also because of the night of the interview.
As an actress who doesn't have any good resources, she deeply feels that Hollywood is a cannibalistic place.
After taking action, you still have to wait for news with trepidation, and there is no guarantee that you will succeed.
But it's much better than Naomi, at least she is willing to pay.
The latter was so poor that she could barely afford to eat. If Chen An had not found her at the beginning, she would have been kicked out by the landlord in a few months.
Being able to persist for so many years shows a strong will.
"The filming here has come to an end. We will have a short break and then go to Leavesden."
Chen An looked at the male and female protagonists who had completely different mentalities and smiled faintly.
People who have had smooth sailing are full of prospects for the future, while people who have suffered are enjoying the hard-earned results of the present.
People are different.
"Director, have you ever encountered any difficulties when you went to Hollywood?"
In the eyes of young Olivia Cooke, Chen An’s appearance meant he reached the peak of his career as soon as he debuted and was a genius among geniuses.
Chen An stood up and left the director's seat, took off the monitoring headphones around his neck, and said without looking back: "It's not too good, but I met the best partner. I hope you can be as lucky as me in the future."
Olivia Cooke sat in silence, waiting for the makeup artist to remove all the makeup on her face.
The filming of Ready Player One was very fast.
There were only three locations left to shoot, and they were all in England so we didn’t have to travel too far.
After leaving town we will go to Birmingham, the second largest city in England.
Finally, there is London.
It is estimated that the filming will be completed in another month, followed by long-term post-production.
The two leading actors in the crew worked very hard and wanted to seize this opportunity.
Warner and Sony are still urging them. Chen An's shooting progress is already very fast, but they hope it can be faster.
