Chapter 368： 3rd round audition

In Hollywood, if there is no strong director.

Then, the knowledge of casting has become more sophisticated.

Not only those unspoken underground doorways, but also whether the characters conform to the role template, the logic and coordination of the appearance and body, the audience's eyesight, the salary value, the actor's own popularity and topicality, and so on all need to be considered. the point.

Most of the crews have replaced actors because of a little scandal.

Of course, the basis of all casting is still the character image.

It is impossible to characterize an actor who is marked as black or needs to be tall, but who is not white or tall.

A new day, at eight in the morning, the sun is rising.

Los Angeles is still hot in June.

As the chief producer of the crew, Lehmann arrived at Firefly as usual.

He has been running around these days, either to supervise the props or to see if the interior scene is ready.

It was ten o'clock in the morning.

The front desk of Firefly Pictures.

An agent walked in with a girl, "Prepare in advance to give a good impression."

Kate Beckinsale nodded, "I know."

Suddenly, he asked again, "I'm auditioning for the role, have you guys helped me discuss it?"

CAA is still very strong, and there are many places where there are opportunities for casting.

The agent waved his hand, "This time, the two sides will confirm and choose together. Your role is still the only heroine. Although the role is a little less, it is also easy to stand out. The competition is huge. However, with Leiman, you Have you passed through? It's best to have a good relationship with him. Look at Eva and that Hilary Swank. The former starred in several big productions this year, and the latter even made a movie "Hilary Swank" "Million Dollar Baby" shined in Cannes, and after I heard that it is very likely to compete for an Oscar again, the salary has increased steadily."

Kate Beckinsale was a little silent, "He's not very enthusiastic about me."

"Do you want to take the initiative?" the agent said anxiously, "he is so busy, he has no time to care about other things."

Kate stopped talking.

The agent didn't know that she took the initiative, but it didn't work.

The two were relatively speechless and entered Firefly Pictures.

When the girl at the front desk saw the pair, she had some guesses, "Did you come to audition?"

"Well, she's here to audition, and I'm her agent."

"Oh, the audition time is noon, and it's not open yet. You should go to the reception room and wait. You can see the sign when you go upstairs and turn left."

"thank you."

The two got on the elevator and went out.

I happened to see director Lyman and Nolan walking out.

He quickly greeted: "Mr. Lyman, Director Nolan. Hello."

Lehman smiled and said, "It's so early, have you eaten yet?"

"ate."

When Kate Beckinsale saw him, she instantly settled down.

"You wait for a while, the staff hasn't arrived yet. It has to start at noon."

Lyman was afraid that people would be bored, and asked his assistant to bring them coffee and a few magazines.

Director Nolan has been busy these days, and he didn't care about the first two rounds of auditions. At this moment, when he saw a girl entering the reception room, he whispered, "It's quite suitable, where did you find it? Temperament, figure, appearance appearance."

"Haha, you compliment a lady so much, I can tell your wife. You are a director with a family." Lyman joked.

"Is this your choice? You have a really good eye. At least you have a good image to play the role of a prosecutor.

Afterwards, the two ran out for an Italian lunch.

When I came back, the other actors who auditioned were almost there.

There are old and young, male and female, and most of them are raw faces.

Basically, they are seeded players from various brokerage companies.

At this meeting, a staff member is guiding inside.

Said to be a guide, but in fact it was to share a few lines with everyone.

In the first two rounds of audition, there were no character lines, and there were not too many performances. Basically, it was based on the figure and the characters did not match the character image.

This last round is a trial play.

A few minutes after 12 noon, several heads of Warners also came.

Everyone is actually quite interested in this large-scale interview scene.

Unfortunately, there are only five people who can enter the jury.

Oh, plus a director's union staff member in Hollywood to supervise.

In fact, it's just a cutscene, symbolically protecting the rights and interests of the actors, so that they know that the dues they pay are not completely useless.

In the audition room, there is only one row of tables, leaving a large space.

There is a document in front of each person, all compiled by the brokerage company, and it is very detailed.

Next to it, a member of the camera crew was fiddling with the camera, preparing to record and archive. Will take it back to Warner executives to see.

"Director, start?" the caller shouted at the door.

"Let's start." Nolan waved his hand.

The first to come in was Liam Neeson.

"British actor, born in Northern Ireland in 1952

Height 193cm, weight 87kg

After graduating from university, he studied at the Belfast Opera House for two years, and then entered the Broadway stage, where he started professional stage performances for 6 years.

At the age of 30, he starred in his first big screen work "Dark Ages"; his first starring film work was "Transformation Black Man"; he was nominated for Best Actor Oscar for "Schindler's List", and he has rich acting experience... .."

The resume is very nice.

When he appeared, several people were very enthusiastic.

This is an old actor, and he is also a very popular actor. He is a very well-known actor in the industry.

There is basically no competition with him. He is directly entered into the third round. Warner made a special trip to increase the depth of the actor's performance. It is to play a role A few people have nothing to ask about, just a supporting role , it is definitely more than enough to invite the Oscar boss to play.

Furthermore, if it weren't for the relationship with Warner, they wouldn't be able to invite others, and they would have given the green light.

"..."

It's cool, just walk through the scene and you're done.

So, the actor's career still depends on their qualifications and strength.

Some people don't need to choose a play, they will come to the door automatically, and they can just pick it up; some people, looking for opportunities every day, run around, and they may not even get a trick. Cruel, not cruel.

The road was chosen by himself, and he looked at the scenery in front of people, but he didn't know that there were tens of thousands of low-level actors who were constantly supplying blood.

The next one is the old showman, Morgan Freeman.

This is what Lehman called and invited. After all, he wanted to find a minority to play a role in, increase the depth of the lineup, and avoid being picked on by some people.

Nowadays, the trend in Hollywood is changing really fast.

The status of black actors is beginning to rise visibly.

Going forward, if there is a big production without a significant black actor, it will be hacked to death by the media.

The audience also likes to make trouble.

Counting back seven or eight years, in this case, there is nothing wrong.

This shows that the crying child really has milk to eat.
