Chapter 321 321 The Dust Settles

Since Tracy's goal is to compete with the "Schindler's List" for a long time, he even wants to be released before "Schindler's List" to defeat the possibility of Hugo's rise one step ahead of time. Of course, he also hopes that she can use the excellent reputation of her new work to a higher level, and make a breakthrough in her career while allowing her to win greater power in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, Tracy was very anxious on the one hand because the filming of "Schindler's List" has started, so she cannot fall behind too much; on the other hand, she cannot be too hasty, otherwise after making a wrong choice, she missed the opportunity to kill Hugo as soon as possible.

Under such circumstances, Tracy, Lang and Martin both began to get busy. In the end, Tracy was the first to find an opportunity. From this we can see Tracy's keenness as a successful producer. No wonder she was able to succeed repeatedly before!

This time, it was Mike Nichols who came into Tracy's sight. This famous director won the 40th Oscar for Best Director with the "graduate". In addition, he also relied on "who's.afraid.of.virginia.woolf", "Screew incident", and "working girl" won the Oscar nomination for Best Director three times. Among them, "Screew incident" is a classic work collaborating with Nora Evelon and Meryl Streep.

It can be said that Mike is a genius director, and all the works released by this 62-year-old director can be called excellent works. His outstanding abilities have been unanimously recognized by the European continent and North American markets. Perhaps in terms of box office appeal, Mike is not as good as Steven Spielberg's ability to call the wind and rain in the North American market, but compared with the artistic nature of the works and the love of professional film critics, Mike is better than Steven.

It can be said that Tracy was beyond Lang and Martin's expectations.

This time, Mike's new work was also very good. He selected the "The.remains.of.the.day" created by Japanese-British novelist Kazuo Ishiguro in 1989. This novel won Ishiguro Ishiguro's British Booker Award (Poker.p.day) and won several best-selling rankings. It is a very important work for the novelist's career.

"The long day is about to end" uses very delicate and gentle brushstrokes to describe the love story between the housekeepers of the British aristocratic residences. It sets off the background of the World War II era, and is lingering but depressing and melancholy. It is a rare masterpiece.

Mike purchased the film adaptation rights of this novel in 1989 and began preparations in 1990. Unfortunately, because the script adaptation work was never satisfactory, the proposal was repeatedly shelved. Within two years, Columbia Pictures, which had the production rights, also lost enough confidence in the proposal. Although the magnificence and magnificence of the original novel made people reason to believe that this would inevitably become another love epic in the context of war, it was not so easy to shoot it successfully.

At the beginning of the year, Columbia Pictures finally decided to hand over the film production rights to the British aesthetic film company Merchant-ivory for filming. This company once launched literary works such as "the.europeans", "the.Bostonians", and "Meris's Lover" that were warm and emotionally flowing in the upper class of World War II. It is obviously the best production company that "was over the long day".

With the addition of Moqinte Avery, the novel proposal named "The.remains.of.the.day" finally entered the production stage. The script was handed over to Ruth Prouer Jabvala for writing. This delicate female screenwriter once wrote "a.room.with.a.view" and "howards.end" and won the Oscar for best adaptation script Xiaojinman twice.

After Ruth was appointed as screenwriter, the entire crew's pattern became clear, but this time Mike was not willing to direct the movie himself because he knew that he was slightly inferior to the evolution of this delicate emotion. After careful consideration, Mike still hoped that James Ivory (james.ivory) could take over the guide and bring this "Farewell to the Heaven of Love" to the big screen.

James Ivori, a native American director, has brought the delicate, luxurious and gentleness of British works to the extreme. He has filmed many emotionally delicate works such as "European", "quartet", "heat and dust (heat.and.dt), "Howard Manor", "Meris's Lover", "Rooms with Scenery", and "The Room with Scenery". The films adapted from the writers Henry James (henry.jane.aten), and Edward Morgan Forster (edward.tirgan). He has gained the reputation of "British Literature Director" as an American.

James, Mo Qiantt-Every Company and Ruth have worked together many times, and it can be said that they are the iron triangles that know each other well. Therefore, Mike's idea seems natural.

But what is surprising is that James just finished shooting the "Howard Manor" and felt very tired and was unwilling to start the creation of the next work immediately because he felt that this would affect the quality of the work. This also caused the preparation of "Saying Goodbye to Love Heaven" to fall into a deadlock again after the first two months of high-speed operation.

It was in this situation that Tracy appeared in Mike's sight. Although Tracy was a distance from Mike, just like hers, Steven Spielberg, in the same situation as before, Tracy's qualifications and abilities allowed her to have a place in front of Mike and win a chance.

Tracy seized this opportunity! She successfully convinced Mike that she had the ability to become a member of the producer team of "Farewell to Love Heaven", and the letter of fame was James Ivori's guide contract.

James is an artist under the Innovation Artist Company, which is from Martin Baum, but James is not an artist under Martin, but Tracy is not afraid at all. After asking Martin to make a move, he met James and his agent alone. He didn't know what Tracy said or used the same method. But unexpectedly, James did not reject Tracy at all.

Afterwards, accompanied by Lang, Tracy met James twice, and Martin joined the persuasion work together. After meeting three times, James nodded in agreement with Tracy's invitation, gave Mike a positive reply, expressing his willingness to direct "Farewell to the Heaven of Love".

Tracy arrived with good news, and Mike also returned the good news. Soon the crew of "Say goodbye to Love Heaven" was officially announced. They received a budget of 15 million from Columbia Pictures and put the filming on the agenda. Director James Ivori, screenwriter Ruth Prouer Jabwara, and production company Mo Qiant Everly, such an iron triangle is almost the guarantee of British novel adaptations. In addition, Mike Nichols takes charge of producers and Tracy Jacobs serves as co-producer. Such a production lineup is enough to fight against any big-produced film.

Naturally, the selection of actors has also begun quickly.

The Los Angeles Times took the lead in confirming that "the Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins will be the second time after "Howard Manor", he will work with director James again after "Four Hundred Years of Bloodsucking Zombies."

Then the "Hollywood Reporter" gave the latest news, "Emma Thompson, a British talent who has become the hottest candidate for the heroine of the 65th Oscars, also successfully joined the Iron Triangle and returned to the fixed team of "Howard Manor" and starred in the "Farewell to Love Heaven"!"

The New York Times updated the news again less than 24 hours later. "By relying on the 'end-to-end crazy flower' and 'Big River Love', the rising star actor Brad Pitt, who won numerous attention, defeated his powerful competitor Christopher Reeve and became a member of the crew of the 'Farewell Love'. This will also be his first time to join James Ivori's strong cast. As we all know, James' training of the actors is second to none. He can always dig out the deep elegance, entangled and profound side of the actors. He has proved that he is not just a vase Brad, but he has a great hope of relying on this performance to be shortlisted for next year's Oscars."

In just one week, "Say farewell to the Heaven of Love" has become the most frequent work of major media. Almost every news media has divided its energy to pay attention to this work, not only because "Howard Manor" led by James is a popular at the Oscars ceremony to be held at the end of the month, but also because various media have received favor requests and tried their best to focus on this work. This has long since become the "Say farewell to the Heaven of Love" surpassed the "Schindler's List" filmed in Poland in a short time and became the new favorite of the media.

Among them, Brad Pitt replaced Christopher Reeve to join the crew, which was obviously the most exciting news, because it was also mentioned in the news that Brad rejected the role of "Schindler's List", and the one who took over this role was obviously Hugo. The triangle relationship among them made people excited. What most news media did not mention is that this is also the third collaboration between Brad and Tracy!

Obviously, the undercurrent has begun to surge.
