Chapter Eighty-Four Interstellar Casting, Matthew McConaughey?!!

"'City of Philharmonic', "The Godfather" director Chu Xuan has just announced a new film plan, and 'Interstellar' is a science fiction film."

"According to Chu Magic-Chu, the new film is inspired by the recent hot news in the astronomical world."

"He wanted to tell a story about interstellar exploration and black holes."

"Since The Godfather, Magic-Chu seems to be passionate about commercial films."

"Although his previous work 'Iron Man' was a box office hit and is expected to exceed $1.5 billion at the global box office, the reputation of this comic superhero work is not as good as before."

"The average director can take two or three years, or even more than 10 years, to polish a film."

"Chu Xuan has opened a high-prolific mode since he entered the industry, and 3-4 films by directors are released every year. Participated in the screenwriting, the investment in the film is as many as 7-8 works. "

"We have reason to suspect that Chu may find it difficult to produce such a classic film history work as The Godfather."

"The new genre seems to be science fiction, but in recent years, science fiction has almost equated with high-investment, low-return commercial films."

Maybe he won't lose money at the box office, but Chu Xuan's path to commercial films is gone forever. We may never wait for the next Godfather. "

Since Infinity Pictures announced the establishment of Chu Xuan's new film "Interstellar", the entire North American network has ushered in a wave of hot discussions across the network.

As a top director, his every move has attracted much attention. But every time he plans for a new film, he is questioned.

Just like the article written by the Luo Shengdu Times, no one is optimistic about Chu Xuan's new film plan.

"I admit that Chu Xuan is a talented director, he has challenged new themes several times before, and he has successfully challenged them."

"The outside world is generally not optimistic about his song and dance films, and he proved himself by making "Philharmonic City";"

"The outside world generally questioned whether he could make a decent gangster film, and Chu Xuan took out the "Godfather" that left his name in film history to shock the world!"

"When everyone is doubting that the comic adaptation is doomed to failure, Chu Xuan's Iron Man successfully saved the comic market!"

"I have always been a loyal fan of director Chu Xuan, but this time I am sorry for Chu Xuan, I am going to contradict it."

"Science fiction is really the most thankless field."

"If Chu Xuan is really addicted to commercial films, he can continue to shoot Iron Man 2 or other Marvel works."

"Didn't Jupiter Ascend not even ago sound the alarm bell for Chu Xuan?"

Of course, in addition to the negative evaluation of the media, Chu Xuan's fans are still looking forward to it.

"Magic-Chu has finally come to the rescue of sci-fi!"

"Sci-fi fans ecstasy!"

"Probably another Iron Man, hardcore sci-fi is hard."

"'2001: A Space Odyssey' is so classic that even Chu Xuan can't reach it."

"Could it be a bit like Star Trek?"

Chu Xuan did not disclose more details of the film for the time being, so netizens can only speculate.

In everyone's impression, Chu Xuan still took out a pure popcorn blockbuster. This is the simplest and most brainless routine, as long as the fight special effects scene is exciting enough, it doesn't matter if the story logic is hard.

If Chu Xuan doesn't care about word of mouth, maybe he can still be like "Iron Man". That reaps a wave of box office.

The most frightening thing is that Chu Xuan wants both a big scene and a high box office, and wants to shoot in depth, which will inevitably cause the literary drama to be dull and lengthy, the visual effect is not exciting enough, and the two ends are not flattered.

Just as fans were talking about it, Infinity Pictures announced a news again.

"Chu Xuan's new film 'Interstellar' invites theoretical physicists, astrophysicists, popular science writers, professors of physics at the California Institute of Technology, winners of this year's Nobel Prize in Physics, and Kip Thorne as scientific advisors."

As soon as this message was sent, it shocked netizens again

Good fellow, just make a movie, as for inviting the Nobel Laureate over?

Chu Xuan really plans to shoot a hardcore sci-fi film, which doesn't seem to be an ordinary popcorn commercial film.

Fans are both worried and excited.

They feared that such hardcore sci-fi films would be dull and dismal at the box office. At the same time, there is some hope.

Maybe this time Chu Xuan can also create a miracle?

Because he's Magic—Chu!

Chu Xuan had no time to take care of it. There was a lot of discussion on the Internet. He's already started assembling his own Interstellar crew!

Van Hotma, the cinematographer who partnered him in The City of Philharmonics, was responsible for the film's main photography.

In order to ensure the ultimate picture quality experience, Chu Xuan also used a 70mm IMAX film camera like Nolan.

The more he learned about the film industry, Chu Xuan also found that the visual effects brought by film cameras were indeed slightly different from digital cameras.

As for the soundtrack, I have to ask someone to move. Hollywood soundtrack god, Hans Zimmer!

Regardless of Hong Kong Island films, let's take a closer look at the film industry in Europe and the United States, and there are only two kinds of characters in the film soundtrack.

One is other soundtrack artists, and the other is Hans Zimmer. Perhaps in terms of melody, there are many excellent masters.

But when it comes to the atmosphere of the film and the audiovisual feeling brought to the audience, Hans Zimmer's score is undoubtedly second to none.

"The Lion King", "Stone Breaker", "Brave to Kill Island", "Pearl Harbor", "Gladiator", "Black Hawk Down"...

He is found in many popular global masterpieces.

Chu Xuan can actually reproduce the melody in the movie himself, but this will undoubtedly take more time to adjust.

The soundtrack can be completed faster with the original author, and at the same time, the details can be in place to get the original music.

Previously, "Philharmonic City" was provided by Chu Xuan with the basic melody, and the original soundtrack composed by Justin Hervitz.

I thought that inviting a master like Hans Zimmer would waste some words.

Unexpectedly, the female assistant Anna called over, and Hans Zimmer took the initiative to come to the door.

In fact, it is really difficult for the average director to get Hans Zimmer out of the mountains.

After all, he has a lot of invitations, Spielberg, Ridley Scott and other big directors are lined up to wait for him.

But this time it was no one else who invited him, it was The Godfather Chu Xuan!

As a loyal fan of the film, Hans Zimmer can also work with Chu Xuan.

Coming to Infinite Pictures and seeing that Chu Xuan was really so young, Hans Zimmer had to sigh that the back wave of the Yangtze River pushed the front wave.

"It's a big help that you can come, in fact, we have a certain demo melody here, you can understand it first, go back and slowly create it."

"When the film footage is basically finished, you can perfect the soundtrack according to the picture."

Chu Xuan introduced that he had simulated the melody through the music production software through the original film of the film library.

It's just that Chu Xuan is not a professional music talent, and the effect of restoration is temporarily rough.

Hans Zimmer was also curious.

Co-authoring invited me to come not to compose the soundtrack, but simply to arrange the music?

However, the melody composition of "Philharmonic City" is also Chu Xuan, and Hans Zimmer wants to know, what kind of work can he make?

"Can I listen to it first?"

"No problem, you can tell me anything you have about music."

Hans Zimmer then put on his high-fidelity headphones and turned on the player.

The piano melody flowed by, and Hans Zimmer didn't feel anything at first, just felt ordinary.

However, the more he heard the back, the bigger his eyes widened!

Obviously it is just a simple piano melody, but Hans Zimmer seems to see the boundless universe!

If he scored a science fiction film himself, he probably felt the same way! This music is really Chu Xuan's own words, he is absolutely amazing genius! Putting down the headphones, Hans Zimmer sighed.

"Chu, are you interested in delving into film scores?" Seriously, I'm not sure I can write such a melody myself. "

"Mr. Hans, you've passed the prize. I'll send you some concept maps, you can go back and slowly find the feeling, when the time comes to shoot the green, you need to get out of the horse. "

"No problem! Just heard these melodies, I already have a general idea. I have a hunch that maybe this time the soundtrack will be unusual. "

Identify good cinematographers, crew, soundtrack masters......... The bud rice field that Chu Xuan wanted was also ready.

"Did you really find 500 acres of cornfield?"

Chu Xuan also looked at Anna with some surprise.

In order to meet Chu Xuan's senseless request, Anna Kendrick was tired enough these two days.

She is constantly in contact with her colleagues in the marketing and theatre teams, constantly searching for them. Finally, in Kannada, North America, I found an empty farm.

The farmer here planted more than 500 acres of corn, and near the harvest season, he was preparing for a big harvest, only to see a few guys in suits and leather shoes.

After some haggling, the farmer moved away from his single-family house in a confused car.

These strange people had bought all their corn and were planning to rent his house for at least a month.

At the beginning, the farmer argued with reason, and resolutely did not rent or sell!

Later looking at the $1.5 million in the bank card, the farmer fell silent.

"They're giving too much."

The farmer was curious though.

These guys in suits, not like grain merchants, have nothing to do with their cornfields?

It wasn't until a few months later, on the screen of the movie theater, that he saw his cornfield being burned with thick black smoke that he suddenly realized.

Everything is ready, only casting is left!

The casting work and contact with Hans Zimmer and the corn farmer were carried out simultaneously.

When the farm has not yet been acquired, the selection of other supporting roles has been determined. Interstellar isn't a movie with a huge cast.

Male cosmonaut Cooper, daughter Murphy adulthood, teenage years, female astronaut Brand, old professor, other astronauts...

The casting of the astronauts is exactly the same as the original.

Hearing the call of Chu Xuan, the director of "The Godfather", these lesser-known actors could not sleep excitedly and decided to participate without hesitation.

Michael Keane, played by the old professor, also agreed to star.

He has not yet played Afu in Batman's Dark Knight in the parallel world, and his current popularity is not particularly high.

The old master was still very willing to cooperate with Chu Xuan.

As for the "rescued professional household" Matt Damon, who is a well-known Hollywood movie star, agreed to be very willing to participate in Chu Xuan's film, and it was not difficult to determine it.

But the most important male lead, Matthew McConaughey, could not participate!

"I'm sorry, I'm really interested in your script, but unfortunately I'm shooting Dallas Buyers Club, and I can't leave for a few months, which is a pity."

Matthew McConaughey slot clash! The original lead actor is gone. Chu Xuan has a bit of brain pain at this time, so who will play the male protagonist? Little plums? Atang brother? Not spicy Pete?

Can't always go on your own?
