LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 47 The Godfather Casts, Al Pacino Joins
No matter which list of global movie sites you look at, the "Godfather" series will always occupy the top three.
No matter how bad it is, there is still a seat in the top ten.
It has been 50 years since the previous movie was released, and there are still many fans who are willing to revisit this classic.
Even viewers who often watch popcorn movies can watch this movie.
"I'll give him a reason he can't refuse."
"Don't let anyone know what you think."
"Great people are not born great, they grow up great."
"Never hate your enemy, it will cloud your judgment."
...
Many classic lines are well known to netizens even after decades.
In fact, Chu Xuan can also just be a producer and hire other directors to direct "The Godfather".
He is not the kind of producer who often interferes with the director. Since he has chosen the director, he basically lets him go.
"The Silence of the Lambs" by David Fincher is well done, not inferior to the original.
It is a pity that the original director Francis Coppola has long since returned home and cannot direct.
No matter which director you look for, it may be difficult to shoot that flavor.
Chu Xuan simply went into battle by himself, just to test his directing skills.
"La La Land" has given him enough experience. Without the help of the original film, his real strength is almost at Lv.3 level, which can be on par with Wen Ziren, Zach Snyder and others.
With the help of the original film, it is estimated that we can also find the feeling of Coppola back then.
The script for "The Godfather", he has long since found time to get it done.
The problem now is casting. There are many characters in the movie trilogy, and everyone needs certain acting skills.
But the time and space of the parallel world seems to be a bit chaotic compared to the previous life.
For example, Sister Ao is still an actress in her early 20s, and Sister Stone, Sister Widow and others are already well-known actresses.
Anthony Hopkins stayed in the 90s of his previous life, and Francis Coppola had the same timeline, and he was in his 80s.
The actor who played the "adopted son/strategist/lawyer" Tom, Robert Duvall, is also 80 years old and can't act at all.
In addition to Hollywood, the Chinese entertainment industry also seems to be a bit chaotic.
Zhao Jinmark is 2 years younger than himself, and is only 19 years old this year;
Boss Yang is only 25 years old and has not met Liu Kaiwei yet;
Reba just debuted not long ago, the same year as himself.
Hong Kong and Taiwan are even more outrageous. Cheng Long, Liu Dehua, Zhang Guorong, Zhou Xingxing and others are in their 40s and are at their peak...
In short, although these are not important, the actors in my memory may be very different from reality.
He simply called the company's side: "Mark, have the previous things been arranged?"
"Ready to start now?"
asked Mark Lawrenson, Chu Xuan's right-hand man.
"Let's start, it's better to start the plan early."
"Understood."
Soon, North America and even England got a message.
The 3rd film directed by Chu Xuan, the epic gangster film "The Godfather" series, is recruiting for all actors!
If it was cast like "La La Land", maybe no one would care.
What is the ability of a director who shoots a family DV?
But the global popularity of "La La Land" made the actors just around the corner.
Even though Chu Xuan is a 21-year-old Chinese director, he does have a level!
Otherwise, how can it be called "Magic-Chu"!
Can't use common sense to speculate on him!
Look at Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone!
Originally, these two people were a little tepid, not too angry, not too hot.
As for now, the two can maintain the top stream for at least more than a month!
They are the hottest couple in Hollywood!
The Golden Globe Awards ceremony paid tribute to the song and dance of "La La Land"!
If you give up such an opportunity, I am afraid that you will lose your heart and go crazy!
For a time, the calls of the director team of Infinite Pictures were about to explode, and countless actors and even the agents of big stars called one after another to inquire about the audition.
...
"Tommy, are you really going to try that young man's play? Gangster movies are different from singing and dancing, they need a certain amount of time to settle..."
"You might as well take this thriller "Fatal Law", or the special effects blockbuster "Tauren"..."
British Isle, Lunhead City.
Tom Hardy stood by the window, looking downstairs at the busy traffic, interrupting the agent's thoughts.
"Enough, I've made up my mind, buy me a plane ticket to Los Santos."
"Hey, okay. What you choose, if this movie is screwed up, you're afraid you won't be filming for three years."
"I'm willing to gamble."
Tom Hardy looked firm.
...
"Killian, there is a gangster film open for casting, do you want to try it?"
"Who is the director?"
"Chu..."
Before the agent could finish speaking, Cillian Murphy, who had deep eyes, couldn't wait.
"Of course! We're going to Los Santos!"
...
"Oh? Chu personally asked for me by name?"
"Yes. Al, what do you think?"
"I'd love to, too, it should be interesting. It's just... I'm over 40, and it is said that the role is a guy in his 20s? Not suitable, right?"
"It is said that it can be done with makeup and special effects."
"Okay, then I'll try."
After the agent left, Al Pacino sat in the office in a daze.
"This young man is very interesting."
Al Pacino was a well-known actor 10 years ago, and won the Oscar for Best Actor for "Scent of a Woman".
At the same time, he has also appeared in many classic films such as "Ai Erlan", "Angel in the World", "Pirates of Fire", "Devil's Advocate" and so on.
But in recent years, he has long been out of breath, and there is no drama this year.
Anyway, there is no shortage of money, and Al Pacino does not accept bad scripts, preferring to work at home.
Even if the media and netizens say that he is out of breath, they say that he can't act, and he will never receive good films again.
Al Pacino wasn't angry either.
Until Chu Xuan came out with the news of "The Godfather".
Hearing about the film about the Gambino family, he immediately became interested.
He himself is interested in the dwarf blood, and is very interested in the mafia.
Chances are, this movie is a good choice!
...
After a period of preparation, Chu Xuan was finally able to start casting interviews.
Some extras with few shots were handled by the casting director team.
Important starring and supporting roles, Chu Xuan personally checks.
After some sifting...
Sonny Corleone, the eldest son of the Corleone family, candidates:
Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, Sean Bean;
Fredo Corleone Candidate for Weak Second Son:
Adrien Brody, Cillian Murphy, Jay Baruchel;
The youngest son, "Second Godfather" Mike Corleone, has been identified as Al Pacino.
As for other roles, the actors are also more in line with the old drama bones of the original version.
Now there is only one last key left!
The core C position, Victor Corleone, the actor of the godfather!
just in case……
Chu Xuan was worried about this, and the exact recovery was given on the phone.
"Director Chu, please forgive us for not replying in time. Mr. Marlon Brando is willing to appear in The Godfather."
The big stone in Chu Xuan's heart finally fell.
Very good, the crew is basically established!
Next stop, New York!
The "Godfather" crew is ready to start! *
