"Actually, the VMA is not completely wronged. That staff member is indeed the lighting engineer hired by the VMA, isn't it?"

Judy is still a little disgusted with the VMA. At that time, she couldn't calm down when she watched Christine under the direct light and couldn't perform normal performances off the stage, so she still had a lot of opinions on the way the VMA was handled.

"So David can get out of this accident again?" Christine leaned on the sofa with a pillow in his arms.

"Leave this to me, and I'll figure out a way." Brian frowned: "David has gone over the line this time, so he needs to give a good warning."

"However, Kristen, you are still concentrating on the promotion of the album. As soon as the matter fermented this time, "Shoutouttomyex" finally rose to the championship. Kristin, you didn't notice it, did you?"

Christine was taken aback, and shook her head: "I'm in a bad mood recently, and I haven't checked the Internet."

"It's good news. It's really difficult to play singles in the later stages. There are already four championship singles. The fourth one has been exhausted. Whether the fifth one can really win is still a big question mark..."

While calculating, Darren pressed his temples, obviously suffering from some headaches.

To say that among Christine's four top singles, the success of each single is inseparable from various hypes and gimmicks, such as the first single "Grace" is inseparable from the divorce with Johnny Depp However, the second top single "Shape of you" was not hyped up much, it was completely brainwashed by the chorus of the song itself.

But the third "Sweetbutpsycho" borrowed the gimmick of "Fast and Furious 8", and the fourth "Shoutouttomyex" started wave after wave of publicity from Coachella, not only adding Marvel's "Captain Marvel" In addition to the enthusiasm for signing the female version of the movie "Ocean's Eleven", which has been renamed "Eight Arhats" (Chinese translation "Crossing the Sky: Beauty Trick"), and finally caught up with the VMA "blindness incident", this It can be said that it was extremely difficult to make it to the top list.

So, how should the next order be placed?

Darren expressed that he has a headache and has already reached the fourth team. If the fifth team is successful, it will equal Katy Perry's record of five championships in one major. He will not be willing to end up in the fourth championship. of.

Darren stared at Christine for a moment as an idea began to form in his mind.

"Christine, have you made any trips to New York recently?" he asked.

"Well, Judy told me, next month." Christine said, "What's wrong?"

"How about a two-day break in New York?" Darren suggested, "Go see Chris? Haven't you guys seen each other for a long time?"

Christine raised her eyebrows immediately. Darren had never offered her the idea of ​​meeting Evans before. What happened today?

"You mean...?" Kristen asked.

"You have seen the publicity plan. The song "Overload" is completely R&B, not pop enough, and it is very difficult to win the championship..." Darren said, considering his words.

"So you mean to let us make it public? And then take advantage of this wave of popularity?" Christine interrupted Darren before he finished speaking, frowning.

Darren nodded curtly.

Christine thought about it, hesitated for a moment: "I need to discuss it with Chris."

"Okay, no problem." Darren nodded: "But give me a reply as soon as possible."

"Okay." Christine agreed.

Hugh Jackman has been very worried about his new film "The Greatest Showman" (later "The Greatest Showman").

As the producer and leading actor of this film, after luckily finding the corresponding heroine, that is, Michelle Williams, their luck seemed to be exhausted. In the script, "Jenny Lind "This female supporting role has not been able to find a suitable candidate.

This film is a biographical film as well as a musical, and it is obvious that it is aimed at the Oscars.

However, the project of "The Greatest Showman" has been ill-fated since it was put on the agenda in 09, and the casting and filming have been delayed due to various reasons.After finally deciding on a director, the production company Fox put it on hold for two years, and it was not until the end of 14 that the news of restarting the project came.

Can the theme of musicals?

In the eyes of the actors at that time, starring in a musical film was undoubtedly the ending of "being a dog". No one was interested in this film project, so the cast was in trouble for a while, and the start of filming was postponed again.

It wasn't until "La La Land", which is also a musical film, was released and won the Oscar that everyone expected, that Hollywood actors became a little interested in the project of "The Greatest Showman", but they still had doubts.

But it's better than no one cares before.

So in the months after the Oscars, they successively settled on several important roles in the movie, except for "Jenny Lind".

Why was "Jenny Lind" so difficult to cast?

This is about the obsession of the leading actor "Barnham" with this "Jenny Lind" in "The Greatest Showman".

"The Greatest Showman" is a biographical film. The stories are all from real events that happened to real people. It is about the actor "Barnum", who is an American circus manager and performer. "The legendary rags-to-riches story.In this story, the indispensable Jenny Lind, known as the "Swedish Nightingale", was indispensable in Barnum's life.

This is Barnum's most famous investment, and it made Jenny Lind famous. In the movie script, the relationship between Barnum and Jenny Lind is also confusing.

Seeing that the scheduled start date of filming is approaching, the actor for the role of "Jenny Lind" has not yet been found, is it going to be postponed again?

Not only the producer Fox, but the producer Hugh Jackman is also very anxious.

As an Olympic film, "The Greatest Showman" is obviously going to be released at the end of the year. If the start of filming is postponed again, they may not be able to catch up with this time. This means that the project will be postponed again. It is now decided Various roles may have to be reshuffled.

So Hugh Jackman, who just "retired" from "Wolverine", didn't feel relaxed at all.

Perhaps, they should have lowered the bar a bit for the role of "Jenny Lind".

At this time, because of an accident while watching the show with his wife and children, Kristen Hessel came into Hugh Jackman's sight.

It was a live performance of Christine in Manchester, England. The stage was not big. She was alone, with a seat in the center, and a beam of light hit her body, which was amazingly beautiful.

And when she opened her mouth and began to sing the song "Overload" with all her heart, Hugh Jackman realized that it might not be enough for him to just comment on Christine's appearance.

Christine's timbre has always been very unique, very penetrating but also ethereal, which made Hugh immediately think of "Nightingale" and "Jenny Lind".

The singing of "Jenny Lind" in his head was as beautiful and touching as Christine's.

Hugh couldn't sit still immediately, he picked up his phone and started contacting Fox, talking enthusiastically, wanting to invite Christine Hessel.

"Hugh, wait, you mean Kristen Hessel?" Twentieth Century Fox was obviously a little surprised that he would propose this candidate: "The appearance is very suitable, but the acting skills..."

"Is her acting skills bad? I heard that she also starred in "Fast and Furious 8", and we'll give her an audition for her acting skills, so we'll know if she's suitable or not?" Xio said enthusiastically.

"She shouldn't have a schedule, isn't she releasing an album?" The producer at Fox paused as he spoke, as if asking his assistant for some news, before replying again: "Besides, it seems that she's going to The female version of Warner's "Ocean's Eleven"?"

There was some disappointment in Xio's eyes: "Really?"

"Besides, for the role of Jenny Lind, we are already planning to contact Rebecca Ferguson, the female agent in "Mission: Impossible 5", and it happens that she is also a Swedish actress, playing the role of 'Swedish Nightingale' Jenny Lind is not Is it suitable?" Fox persuaded.

But at this moment, Xio has found the "Jenny Linde" he is satisfied with, and he still does not give up and asks: "How about I send an audition invitation to Christine?" Well, what if she's a better fit? I really think she'd be a great fit for the role."

"Well, if Christine has a schedule, that's fine."

So here, Darren soon received an invitation from Hugh Jackman.

When he saw the script, he realized that it was a musical, and he frowned like everyone in the circle. The conclusion that a musical is equal to "hitting the street" even under the score of "La La Land" Still nothing changed.

Besides, Christine's schedule is already very full. The filming time of "The Greatest Showman" coincides with Darren's planned vacation time for Christine. After the publicity is over, it will be directly involved in the shooting of two consecutive films, "Crossing the Sky: Beauty Trap" and "The Greatest Showman".

Considering the state of Kristen's mental state during the filming of "Fast and Furious 8", Darren was very worried about whether she could persist.

After all, according to Christine's situation, it would be more beneficial to her mental state to take a break for one to two months to make a movie.

So this time, Darren declined Hugh Jackman's invitation on the grounds of "schedule conflict".

The author has something to say:

*The plot of "The Greatest Showman" may be changed a little, and it is not quite consistent with the real movie. After all, in reality, the word-of-mouth of "The Greatest Showman" has really hit the street...
