Martin only participated in the casting for the first three days, and after discovering that the candidates chosen by Columbus for Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley were all the original cast of the previous life, he left London with confidence and flew back to the United States.
But before leaving, he also got an actor – Richard Harris.
The veteran English actor who played Albus Dumbledore in the original timeline initially refused the crew’s invitation.
His reason was that Harry Potter was too popular, and he didn’t want to fix his image because of the role of Albus Dumbledore.
So Martin personally went to meet this Richard Harris … The youngest granddaughter – Aina Harris.
11-year-old Aina Harris is a crazy little fan of “Harry Potter” and Martin, and the little girl broke out after learning from Martin that her grandfather had repeatedly refused the invitation of the “Harry Potter” crew.
She “sternly warned” her grandfather that if he didn’t play Dumbledore, she would never talk to him.
Richard Harris had to “obediently” take on the role.
However, in an interview with the media, he said “dissatisfied”: “Martin 250 is too cunning, he caught my weakness, he is a little fox.” ”
The passage reached Martin’s ears through the reporter, and Martin laughed back: “Thank you Headmaster Dumbledore for the compliment, I am honored to receive such praise from the mouth of the greatest white wizard in history.” ”
It’s April.
“The Matrix” has finally started filming.
This series of movies is still three consecutive films, Martin condensed the original four into three, deleted those bridges in the clouds and fog in the original, and added some big scenes.
The film is a collaboration with Warner Bros., and the treatment is based on the contract between Cruise Pictures and Paramount.
Warner Bros. was also relieved because they rejected “Pirates of the Caribbean” and feared that Martin would alienate them because of this.
As for the director of the film, Martin still found the Wachowski brothers, who are not yet sisters.
For the films that sell well in memory, Martin will try to use the original cast to avoid accidents.
Well, unless he sees a character himself.
For example, the savior in “The Matrix” – Neo, for which he also specially changed the savior’s age (cace) age in the script to a high school student.
Hey, hackers for high school students, they should be more popular with young people.
As Martin’s first super commercial blockbuster, he obviously attaches great importance to “The Matrix”.
Not only did several of the main actors of the film undergo kung fu training in advance, but also discussed with Warner Bros. that a large amount of publicity would be invested.
“Oh God, they… They seem to be in pain, do we really have to do this kind of kung fu training? ”
A small studio converted into a makeshift training hall.
Nicole Kidman stood beside Martin, looking at the actors who screamed in the audience with a look of fear, and her heart had begun to play drums.
“Of course, you need at least three months of training. ”
Martin glanced at Nicole, and his mind had already imagined Nicole’s “heroic posture” in a black tight leather suit, and saliva was secreted unconsciously.
Damn, even the succubus would be tempted by Nicole like that, let alone those moviegoers.
With himself and Nicole, cool kung fu and special effects, this movie is bound to kill men and women of all ages!
“Three months!” Nicole’s scalp tingled, and then asked, “What about you?”
Martin smiled, “I don’t need to, I just need to remember the movements, these basic stretches, lower back, leg presses, are not a problem for me.” ”
“You still have to adapt to hanging Weiya, you know, you have a lot of action scenes in this play, you have to play well. ”
“I felt like I was on a thief’s ship. Nicole joked.
“No, you just got into Martin’s bed!” Martin said in Nicole’s ear with a wicked smile.
“Go, join them, go train!”
Martin tapped Nicole’s upturn while no one was paying attention.
Nicole exclaimed, gave Martin a blank look, and walked towards the field.
It’s not that Martin is not ruthless, but Hollywood rarely used this kind of smart and fancy fighting before, and the kind of kung fu movies that fly off the wall are actually science fiction films in the eyes of North American audiences.
So Martin feels that he has no problem adding such elements to the sci-fi film “The Matrix”.
The facts in the original timeline also prove that the audience is very receptive!
Yuan Heping, who was not far away, saw Martin and Nicole separated, explained a few words to his subordinates, and walked over.
“Mr. Martin, would you like to try your move?”
“Oh, it’s all designed?”
“Yes, the design is ready, the elements of Tai Chi plus the body technique of gossip ensure that you play beautifully.” ”
Yuan Heping took Martin to a vacant lot surrounded by ropes, and a young man was already standing inside.
“His name is Tiger, his English name is Tiger Chen, my apprentice. I asked him to rehearse it first. [ Read more novels for free on our website: tinyurl.com/2aa54z8b ]
Martin nodded.
“Tiger, let’s go!” commented Yuan He.
Tiger Chen punched a set of punches in the field – this set of movements, the style of play is both rigid and soft, the pace is smooth and smooth, it is indeed very good-looking.
The actors who were training around also gathered around and took the opportunity to be lazy.
When Tiger Chen finished typing again, Yuan He commented, “Mr. Martin, what do you think?”
Martin nodded and said with satisfaction: “Very good, that’s it.” ”
Yuan He commented with a smile: “Well, when you learn this set of movements and form muscle memory, it will be easier to dismantle the tricks when the movie starts.” In this way, I let the tiger slow down one trick at a time to teach you, starting with a single move imitation and then progressing to the routine. ”
Martin shook his head, “No thanks, I’ve learned.” ”
Yuan Heping’s eyes widened suddenly, and he thought: This ghost guy’s tone is not small, this set of moves is not simple, even people who have been practicing martial arts for many years cannot read it once.
“You don’t believe it?” asked Martin with a smile.
Yuan Heping shook his head and said, “Mr. Martin, this is not the time for jokes. ”
“Haha, it’s a joke, just try it. ”
Martin took off his jacket and walked into the middle of the field wearing only black jeans and a black T-shirt, “Tiger, trouble make a place.” ”
Tiger Chen walked to the side and looked at Martin with interest, although he didn’t believe that the other party could remember his movements all over again, but he also felt that the other party’s figure was indeed a little like a person who practiced martial arts.
The body shape is very fit, and the muscles are also very smooth, not the kind of dead muscle bumps practiced by gym + white powder.
At this time, Martin was already standing in the middle of the field and put on a posture.
The next second, he moved.
Yuan Heping’s pupils instantly contracted, shocked.
(Brothers, please take care, evaluation, flowers, collections, and rewards, thank you.) ）。
