Chapter 883: .convince

"I think it's time for you to return to the mainstream." Mary Catherine said with a serious face.
"Mainstream? Isn't Oscar mainstream? Mary!" Scott Johnson asked with a smile.
"Your obsession with Oscars is too deep. Did you know that in the past, many A-level major productions would first consider you, but now? Since last year, you have only received 3 A-level production invitations. I am not opposed to you chasing Oscars, but if you continue, then you will have nothing!" Mary Catherine said.
Scott Johnson frowned and said, "It's not that serious, is it?"
Mary Catherine shook her head and said: "Scott, you have to know what makes you a big star, it's a commercial movie, it's those ordinary movie fans, because of their support, you will become what you are today. Kurt Johnson. And your previous literary and artistic films have aroused the disgust of many fans, especially the self-destructive appearance, which made many fans leave you."
"Scott, you have to understand that Hollywood has never lacked actors, there is no shortage of actors who want to replace you, and can replace you! What they lack is just an opportunity, and such opportunities, you let go too much." Mary Catherine continued.
"If you pick up this "Sickness" again, then you need to gain weight, lose weight, and shave your hair. This movie is a literary and artistic movie, and it is impossible to have much market potential. If you can rely on this movie The movie gets the Oscar, then there is no problem, but do you think you can? But if you don’t get the Oscar, do you know what it means? It means that you will be completely abandoned by mainstream movies! Because they will There is a better choice!" Mary Catherine said politely.
Although Scott Johnson is fascinated by Oscars and cannot extricate himself from being addicted to awards, it does not mean that he is a fool.
"OK, Mary, then do you think I should pick up this "Mad Max Fury Road"? I don't think this is a good choice. You have to know that the director of this film is a director from China! This "Mad Max Fury Road" is full of our Western culture. Do you think a Chinese director can make a good film of this kind?" asked Scott Johnson.
Mary Catherine nodded and said: "Yes, I think he can! I checked Wang's information and he has never failed. Although this is the first time he has directed a Hollywood movie, he actually He has written several Hollywood movie scripts and has achieved great success. This shows that he is not as he imagined. He does not understand Hollywood and the North American market. On the contrary, he knows better than many Hollywood film directors and screenwriters. !"
"But in this "Mad Max Fury Road", don't you think that the heroine's role is more prominent, and it is likely to suppress the actor's sense of existence?" Scott Johnson is not easy. The younger generation, immediately pointed out the "Mad Max Fury Road" heroine more prominent this point.
Mary Catherine nodded and said: "Yes, but Scott, can you deny that if this movie is made well, then this will definitely be a very, very special movie, and this movie is indeed the heroine The characteristics of this character make it possible for this role to suppress the presence of the actor, but don’t you always want to prove your acting skills? I believe that as long as you perform well enough, this will not be a problem. On the contrary, because the female The protagonist is brilliant, so if the leading actor can be equally brilliant, will anyone deny your acting skills by then?"
"OK, I need to think about it!" Scott Johnson was moved.
"Sick" may get him a nomination, but it is difficult to get an award.
Or almost impossible!
And what Mary Catherine said he actually understands, this can be seen from the reduction of the endorsement contract on him, he has been out of the mainstream film circle for too long!
......
"Mad Max Fury Road" audition scene.
Wang Yifan is quite satisfied with Scott's performance, and although his popularity has declined in the past two years, he is still a top Hollywood star.
"Wang, I have a little doubt. I have read the script. Don't you think that there is some imbalance between the male and female protagonists in this film?"
As a top star, Scott Johnson can naturally put forward his own thoughts on the movie.
Most of the time, top stars are rarely willing to match people.
Especially for the main role of the male protagonist, they will definitely need to be the core character, otherwise, they will not take it at all.
"Mad Max Fury Road" obviously has such a problem.

Wang Yifan knows that if he wants to choose top stars and borrow their popularity to flatten the natural gap between the hero and the heroine because of the plot and personality, he must convince the other party.
Otherwise, even if he finds other top actor, he will also face such doubts.
"Everything in the film must be organized and logical. First of all, we have determined that the McGoffin of the film-McGoffin is a movie term, referring to the objects, characters, or goals used to promote the plot in the film- —It must be an individual."
Scott Johnson nodded.
Wang Yifan continued unhurriedly, "Then the next question is, who is this person? In the story, there is a group of people and wives who are struggling in the toxic wasteland. They hope to create healthy offspring instead of becoming a dictator. Who will be their leader?"
Scott Johnson frowned involuntarily.
Because Wang Yifan's meaning is very obvious, this person obviously cannot be the male protagonist.
Sure enough, Wang Yifan continued: "Obviously, it is impossible to be a man, because men will only fight against them. I can't grasp them. So we have to find the strong warrior who can guard them, so this role must be Ferosa. After that, she led the team to Oasis, her childhood homeland, which was a matrilineal society, and they were survivors. So the whole story is natural, smooth, and organized.
The film I envision will be carried out in a series of speeds. The audience learns about the characters’ backgrounds, skills, personalities, experiences the characters’ psychological world and emotional changes, as well as the relationship between their enemies and friends, relatives and estrangements. Progress, and even the two protagonists continue to make crucial decisions, are produced along with the entire action process. All this is done through actions.
And the role of the male protagonist Max is the key to promoting the action scene!
Of course, because of the special positioning of the role, the heroine will definitely be very brilliant. I don't deny this. Do you know why I choose a famous actor to play the leading actor?
It’s because I need a actor with enough influence and good enough to make the heroine no longer the only highlight of the movie. The action scene of the actor is the key, and during the shooting, I will highlight This, of course, this also needs a person to complete, and I think Mr. Scott you are one of the most suitable candidates!
