Entertainment: Banned for Five Years, Became the Godfather of Hollywood

Chapter 20 City of Stars, the director sings so well!



Today is the first script reading meeting of "La La Land".

After going through it as a whole, it quickly entered the shooting stage.

Chu Xuan's Infinite Films, like himself, is all about efficiency.

One word soon!

In just one month, all the preparations for the new film were in place.

Actors, scenes, soundtracks, and costumes are all in place.

Except for Chu Xuan's high-priced production team, they are all talents in various fields.

His own precise control of the film also helped the team to prepare quickly.

For example, Chu Xuan has refined the color of the movie scene and the matching of clothing to the extreme!

It seems to be prepared against a ready-made film.

This allows the staff to find the corresponding costume props more purposefully, saving a lot of time.

Even more surprising is the film's soundtrack.

As a musical, the soundtrack and the songs sung in the film are the top priorities.

Maybe a song needs to be polished for half a year to write a work.

As a result, when the film's soundtrack team was still worried, Chu Xuan directly gave them the score of each soundtrack, as long as they played according to the score, they were done.

The staff were stunned.

This famous young director of horror films can actually write songs?

And the quality of every song is amazing!

That "City_of_stars" is a master composition!

Since then, all employees' adoration for Chu Xuan has been raised to a higher level.

Not only can he act, he can write scripts, he can direct... Now he can even compose and arrange music?

Let people live?

When others asked, Chu Xuan just smiled indifferently:

"I was a member of the men's group in Longguo for a while, and then I learned to compose and write songs."

The entire crew was stunned.

The Dragon Kingdom entertainment circle has also become mysterious. Do people over there have magic?

Can a boy band member write this kind of music?

Gradually, the title of "Magic_Chu" spread throughout the crew.

So much so that Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and other actors called themselves "Magic_Chu" during the script reading session.

Because the two leads have previously worked together in a light comedy.

Now that they meet again, they quickly enter the state of performance.

Seeing this, Chu Xuan called several actors together.

"Have you learned all the songs I gave you before?"

"Learn to learn!" Emma Stone excitedly said.

"Chu, these are really songs written by you, they're so good, I sang them a cappella myself and fell in love!"

Ryan Gosling also agreed: "Indeed, they are all very memorable melodies, and I like them very much."

Seeing that the two leading actors were serious about the film, Chu Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Very well, in that case. Let's start the script reading session. Add the song by the way, and go through it completely... Any questions?"

"No problem!" Everyone responded.

"Very good. Then I announce that the first script reading session of "La La Land" will begin now."

...

The script went well and gradually came to the scene where the male protagonist Seb sang at the seaside pier in Los Santos.

Ryan Gosling hasn't fully comprehended the song yet, so he wanted to ask the director to help him sing a section to find out his feelings.

Emma Stone and several supporting actresses also booed at the same time.

"Magic_Chu, sing a paragraph!"

"Wow! Our director is singing!"

No way, Chu Xuan also got up and played the song to everyone.

"I only sing it once, you can feel it."

Afterwards, Chu Xuan's whispered singing rang out at the script reading session.

...

"City_of_stars."

(City of Stars)

"are_you_shinning_just_for_me?"

(Are you only willing to shine for me?)

"City_of_stars."

(City of Stars)

"theres_somuch_that_I_cant_see."

(There is so much incomprehensible in the world)

...

A light and sad melody, coupled with Chu Xuan's magnetic tone.

All the cast and crew at the scene were mesmerized.

It was only then that they remembered that the director was in Longguo before and seemed to be a member of the boy band.

No wonder it sings so well.

After singing "City_of_star", the audience burst into thunderous applause and whistles.

"Encore! Encore!"

"One more song!"

Chu Xuan laughed and scolded: "You guys are here to listen to the concert? Let's continue reading the script."

"If you want to sing, wait until the script is finished."

However, she saw Sister Stone sitting at the table with her white hands resting on her chin, staring at Chu Xuan with eyes full of stars.

"Emma, ​​what are you doing, it's your turn to read."

"Oh, sorry. I was distracted just now." Sister Stone came back to her senses and continued to read the script.

Accompanied by a simple soundtrack by the keyboard player, the script reading session lasted nearly 3 hours to complete.

But none of the actors felt tired.

Everyone listened to the song and joked, and it felt like time passed quickly.

Since Chu Xuan issued a statement of challenge, threatening to make a musical.

The entire North American entertainment industry media has never stopped questioning.

As a result, many actors are quite apprehensive, for fear that the young Chinese director does not understand musical films and will not be able to make the taste of the golden age.

Now just from the music prepared by Chu Xuan, he really put a lot of thought into this movie.

The soundtrack in it can be released casually, and it can smash other musicals.

This can not help but make the actors full of confidence.

...

After all the casts were confirmed and signed, the official social account of the "La La Land" movie and the social account of Unlimited Pictures announced the movie-related information at the same time.

Now is the Internet age, and the promotion of a film has to be done gradually from before it is shot.

It's best to keep the heat on at all times and involve the media from time to time.

Otherwise, the lack of exposure, the outside world will soon be attracted by other hot spots, thus forgetting the film.

Sure enough, when "La La Land" announced the cast, there was still a discussion among the global entertainment media and movie fans.

"Ryan Gosling is the male lead? Wow! I must see it!"

"I'm a fan of his too! He's so handsome!"

"Sister Stone? Isn't this a musical? Why is it like a comedy?"

No way, the previous films of Sister Stone were all light comedies.

It is also very easy to create a certain stereotype for fans.

In case the label of "comedian actress" is fixed, it will be difficult to change it later.

So Emma Stone says she's going to star in this musical.

She has blocked her career, and if this film is successful, her acting career will be much broader.

"Can Sister Stone sing? Is it normal to dance?"

"But these two have partnered before, and the CP feeling is still good."

"Suddenly looking forward to this movie, it can be seen from the director's casting that he has an idea."

"Not necessarily, I still don't believe that horror film directors can make musicals."

"The span is too big, and it's his second film."

In short, amid the discussions on the Internet, the filming of "La La Land" is also in full swing! *
