[US Entertainment] Wild Child

Fatalism and Destiny will say that a person's birth is doomed, his life trajectory may not be fixed, it is formed after many choices, but all choices will push him on the path of destiny.

The same is true when two people meet.

After going through countless choices, two people meet on a certain day, after that, their life paths overlap, and they are inseparable from then on.

Every couple who have ever loved deeply thinks they are the other person's destiny.

After the selection of thousands of people, Hayden Christensen, who has dual citizenship of Canada and the United States, became the actor of the young Anakin. On May 5, Hayden publicly announced in a media interview that he would play Anakin Skywalker.

Hayden is one of the few candidates for Anakin to audition with Summer Brook and Ewan McGregor. He started the initial audition as early as December last year. After several rounds of auditions, including taking makeup photos , was finally finalized, and the film contract was signed at the end of April, and at the beginning of the year, it began to grow hair according to the request of director George Lucas.

Hayden was born on April 1981, 4. He is 19 months younger than Samuel and has just turned 5. He looks like a big boy, with a handsome appearance and a cute but a little sinister smile.The casting director believes that he has Anakin's masculinity and can be very gloomy at the same time. He is a rare actor who can meet two different temperaments at the same time.

The shooting schedule is scheduled to start shooting at Fox Studios in Sydney at the end of June. Some of the main actors arrived in Sydney in early June and started training ahead of schedule.Ivan and Hayden, who have a lot of fighting shots, are the key training objects.

Summer arrived in Sydney a few days early.Leonardo also left Los Angeles on the same day, Summer headed west to Sydney, and he headed east, via Paris to Rome.

It is winter in Sydney in June, and the daytime temperature is only in the 6s, so you need to wear a coat.

Sam fell ill as soon as he arrived in Sydney. He yelled that he was cold when he got off the plane, and fell asleep when he arrived at the hotel. He had a high fever of 40 degrees Celsius at night and was hospitalized for 3 days. After the fever subsided, he stayed in the hospital for another day. Back to the hotel.

Throughout the next July, she was not in good spirits and felt tired easily.

In Sydney, I mainly shoot interior shots, and most of them work in front of the green screen. In the second part, Queen Amidala has abdicated and is now MP Amidala.Lucas only finished writing the first draft of the script in March, and then revised it several times, and finally finalized it before the official start.The first draft of the script that Summer and Hayden received was very different from the final script.

They will have a lot of rivalry. The main line of the second part is the conspiracy of the Sith warriors, and the branch line is the love between Amidala and Anakin.The two are similar in age, and they play a lot of scenes together. They often work together for about 10 hours for several days, and they quickly become familiar with each other.

Hayden is also a child star, and has acted in some small supporting roles in movies. He just played a 17-year-old high school student in Sofia Coppola's debut "The Virgin Suicides". This is his first important role. film role.And now, at the age of 19, he is becoming a man of the hour among young Hollywood actors.

He can be said to have gone from an unknown young actor to a high-profile supernova in the United States and Canada in one step.

Lucasfilm strictly limited his speech, and he also learned the lesson of Jonathan Jackson, and he would never easily disclose the news of his participation in Star Wars to media reporters before the filming started.Speaking of which, he and Jonathan Jackson just collaborated last year on a TV movie "Trappedina Purple Haze" about youth drug problems, and their personal relationship is not bad.Knowing that he won the role of Anakin, Jonathan said enviously that it would be better for Hayden to get this role than to let someone else play it.

Compared with Summer, who became famous as a teenager, Hayden is very shy, easily shy, well protected by his parents, and has the inherent cuteness of a boy from a good family background.

The advantage of having sisters in the family is that movies like "Titanic" will definitely be dragged to watch by the sisters, so I have seen Summer on the big screen a long time ago.He was quite calm during the audition, but when he actually signed the film contract, he suddenly realized that he and Rose will perform a love story in a different sci-fi background on the big screen, and coincidentally, this will also It is a love tragedy.

Hearing what he said, Summer thought about it seriously, "Yes! Why are my characters so miserable? Claudia, I'm dead; Beth, I'm dead again; Juliet, I'm still Rose, although she is not dead, but her lover is dead; Maggie, her husband cheated on her stepmother, it is also a tragedy; Amidala is also going to die. After all, I haven’t played a few roles that won’t die. It's not such a miserable role." She thumped the table, "I have a problem with my script selection vision!"

Ewan McGregor couldn't help laughing, "Listen! You've played so many impressive roles and you're still complaining."

"Can't there be a sweet and happy love story? It seems that it is really like what the professor said, people like happy endings in life, but badending can last forever."

"Because badending is a kind of dissatisfaction, it is a pity, people will remember, this story is not happy. Rose and Jack died together in the ice sea is a story; Jack died, but Rose survived, this That's another story," Ivan said.

Summer shrugged, "Do you know where the most absurd part of this movie is?"

"Absurd?" Ivan and Hayden asked puzzled.

"My writing professor actually used this script to teach!" Summer said angrily, "We need to analyze the psychology of the characters and analyze whether this script can be written better!"

Ivan and Hayden all started to laugh.

"He did it on purpose! All the students in the class looked at me in unison!" At that time, she was so embarrassed that it felt like a public execution, and her shame was over the top.She originally wanted to keep a low profile at school, but she couldn't.

But fortunately, she got an "A+" in the short paper of this class, which finally paid off her trembling and hard work on homework.

"What major did you study?"

"Creative Writing."

"Screenwriter?"

"No, but screenwriting is also included. The main direction is literary creation. It is also possible to change to major in journalism or screenwriting."

Ivan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.For actors who have already become famous, even if they applied to prestigious universities or even Ivy League schools, many of them dropped out of school and went to the world of Hollywood. Although it is not your degree certificate that makes you famous, having a college degree is still different.

British actors are not the same as American actors. They pay more attention to their professional background. Ivan studied drama performance at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. His younger brother Orlando Bloom signed the "Lord of the Rings" just after graduating last year. The role of the elf prince Legolas.Therefore, few British actors became famous as teenagers, and most of them started their careers after entering the Drama Academy.In Hollywood, British actors are known for their solid basic skills and low pay. Every year, many young actors go to New York and Los Angeles to seek more job opportunities.

If there is a difference, actors from the United States and Canada pay more attention to "reiki", that is, talent; actors from the United Kingdom and Europe pay more attention to basic skills and systematic acting skills.

The advantage of having American citizenship is that American production companies are more willing to choose a domestic actor.

But no matter in London, New York, or Los Angeles, as long as you are a top performer, everything is easy to talk about.

Local media in Sydney are chasing these young stars, paparazzi are stationed outside the Fox studio, and there are some necessary publicity interviews, TV stations, magazines, newspapers, local Australian media, and American media.Several leading actors have some promotional interviews, sometimes alone, sometimes with several people.

After the filming officially started, several leading actors took a formal promotional photo together.

Hayden grew his long hair according to Lucas' request when he started the audition process. He didn't cut his hair short until a few days before the shooting, leaving a small lock of hair behind his right ear and braiding it into a cute and cute apprentice braid. .Ivan showed her the behind-the-scenes footage of Hayden's haircut. Lucas personally cut his hair short with a hair pusher. The boy's face added a boyish look.

Summer watched and smiled, thinking about what it would look like if Leonardo braided this cute little braid—it was a pity to think about it, because he gained weight and lost his sharp and transparent youthful temperament , but he really isn't a big boy anymore.

As for Hayden, he is only 19 years old, which is the age when Leonardo was filming "Fatal Happiness". Comparing the two 19-year-old boys, Hayden is more cute, while Leonardo has always been a bit evil.

Ivan is a heavy smoker, Hayden is already a heavy smoker at a young age, and Summer is not a big smoker, but it is not uncommon to smoke one in spare time. The three of them often go to the sheltered place outside the studio to smoke during their breaks .

Summer likes to smoke mint cigarettes and women's thin cigars. Before smoking the Greek handmade cigars sent by Clark, they were not very easy to buy, and they were low-key and powerful weapons; now they are smoked by Leonardo. They are also handmade Greek cigars, specially customized, 10 Packed in tin boxes, 10 boxes or 12 boxes in a box, delivered by air from Greece to New York every quarter. It is very valuable, and it is very good for self-pickling or gifting.

So I also gave it to Ivan and Hayden.Ivan thinks thin cigars are good, but not suitable for a pure man like him.On the contrary, the young Hayden likes it very much. Young people don't mind that the cigars are not "thick".

Because of poor spirits, Summer often relies on smoking to refresh himself recently. The paparazzi took photos of several people smoking and published them on tabloids and the Internet. They skillfully highlighted Summer and Hayden, and ignored Ivan.

They want to play a couple, it is inevitable to get close, and they will not deliberately avoid each other in their spare time. Hayden is 6 feet (183cm) tall, and Summer is 5 feet 7 inches (170cm), half a head shorter than Hayden , Hayden always bowed his head and approached her when talking to her.

Leonardo basically lowered his head and approached her when talking to her, so she was used to this kind of closeness. From the photos, it seemed that his attitude was very intimate and the atmosphere was very ambiguous.
