Hollywood legendary director

The success of a movie is multifaceted. Looking at it now, Lehman feels the soundtrack the most.

Let me talk about Howard Shaw, the soundtrack master responsible for this movie.

He is a Canadian. In his early years, he was a live music director on the evening talk variety show "Saturday Night Live".

The biggest feature of this guy is that it is not so stylized.

This is what Peter Jackson fancyed him.

As early as the filming of "Lord of the Rings" began, both John Williams and James Horner were candidates for the soundtrack of the series.

Perhaps everyone is a little unfamiliar with the names of these soundtrack masters, so use some metaphors to describe them.

John Williams’ representative works include "Schindler's List", "Star Wars", "Jurassic Park", "Saving Private Ryan" and "Harry Potter". The soundtrack style is too grand and magnificent, like The abbot who practices Shaolin Kungfu;

James Horner’s representative works include "Titanic", "Brave Heart", "Beautiful Mind", the soundtrack style is tender and sweet, like a Wudang Taoist;

Howard Shaw likes most is weird and cunning. He has scored "Seven Deadly Sins", "Terror Space", "Mind Game", a typical evil person.

It can be said that he is unique in creating gloomy situations, and he is best at releasing his inner oppression through complicated arrangements.

In "Lord of the Rings", Howard-Shaw is even more like a fish in water, truly showing his weird and changeable temperament to the fullest.

It is similar to practicing wicked minds with respectable kung fu, using world music, magnificent symphony, and percussion to create a magical flavor.

At the end of the film, when Frodo left his hometown and headed to the western continent of the elves, the camera gradually lifted up, and the low background sound sounded again, making a perfect curtain call.

......

In a small villa on the outskirts of Beverly Hills, Ikesh Judd is freshening up and making up in the bedroom. As an actress, these are essential items if she needs to go out. It just so happens that today is the final decision. day.

The young director who gained fame and the heroine of the new project cooperating with Warner, under the blessing of such factors, can't help but not take it seriously.

Although the focus of the media has recently shifted from the preparation of "Million Dollar Baby" to the release of "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", on the first day, the number of 3,703 theaters across the United States was jointly opened, and a single-day box office won 34.1 million. U.S. dollars, the world's total revenue of 57.6 million U.S. dollars, also broke the single-day box office record set by "Star Wars 1" in 1999 on Wednesday.

However, for her, those are not important.

Instead, director Lehman said that the two-week training period has passed, and it is time to finally establish a candidate.

Can I finally get this role?

She was a little unconfident, because she also saw the performance of Hilary Swank, she knew very well that she wanted to get this role, and Hillary was the peak she wanted to climb.

as expected.

When I went to Firefly Pictures again in the afternoon, the young director's words seemed like a sharp knife.

"Sorry, Miss Aikesh, the candidate for the heroine has been decided, it is Hilary Swank."

Akesh Judd sighed slightly. She was somewhat prepared for her loss. Even so, she was disappointed when she heard the news.

She has also been unsuccessful over the years, or that, as an actress, it would have been unsuccessful if she could not become famous.

Without acting, it is simply too fatal for an actor.

What's more, in Hollywood, there are really too few opportunities for women. It is either a vase or a vase, or a supporting role, A, B, and C. Finally, there is a significant role, but it is still a perfect miss.

However, for that girl, she actually quite admired.

Getting up, preparing to say goodbye politely, the young director spoke again.

"Wait, there is a less important role in this movie, playing Maggie's sister, would you like it?"

"Yes...thank you director."

Akesh Judd turned around, grateful.

She is not picky, and acting is good.

......

To be honest, Lehman can see the performance of these two people.

As far as acting skills are concerned, neither of them is bad, and that is who is more dedicated.

After two weeks of training, Hilary Swank not only succeeded in gaining weight, but also became more and more like a female boxer, while Akesh Judd was worse.

However, for the sake of people working so hard, other suitable roles in the movie can also be arranged.

After most of the main actors were settled, Lehman looked at his watch and turned to Johnson and said: "Remember to notify their agent and let Warner start negotiations with them as soon as possible, and determine the pay for them to join the group."

After the explanation, Lehman left the audition room and returned to his office to take a draft of the shots and prepare to go home.

In the front hall of the company, a lady with short hair stood next to the elevator. Hearing the sound of leather shoes landing, she immediately turned to look.This person is the heroine Hilary Swank who has just finished her audition.

"Hello, Director Lyman." She greeted with a smile immediately.

Lehman nodded to her, and said, "Come on, think about the role, don't let me down."

"I will." The girl immediately clenched the script in her hand and nodded again and again.I'm afraid that if you are not careful, the last chance will slip away.

Walk into the elevator together and go down to the first floor.

After getting out of the elevator, Lehmann waved his hand, "Let's do it, we'll talk about it when the crew starts filming."

After speaking, he walked to the parking lot next to him.

Hilary Swank watched Lehmann's back gradually disappear in front of her, thinking about the audition just now, still very excited.

She didn't forget to inform her agent and tell her mother.

To be honest, it seemed like a dream, so many weeks of life and casting were completely different from what she thought.

She is not an optional supporting role, nor is she selected by her face and fame. She has won a role like Maggie only by relying on her hard work.

Once upon a time, such a scene was only imagined when she first entered the show business.

The longer I stay, the more I realize it is not easy.

Putting down the phone, looking at the script in his hand, his chest still beating violently.

Not far away, a black Bentley car passed by the gate exit. In a glimpse, Hilary Swank seemed to see the familiar figure, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Really a different director, isn't it?

Then, the agent also came.

He was more excited than Hilary Swank, getting out of the car, repeatedly confirming the correctness of the news.

He didn't accept this fact until Hillary told him with great conviction for the 13th time.

God, this is crazy.
