Chapter 92: The main actors
After listening to Wang Jian's questioning, Sarah and Lyman reacted differently.
Sarah, as the author of the original book, really only wrote the fantasy in her heart when she wrote "Prison Break".
But after listening to this female director's shooting ideas, I suddenly felt...
Well, I'm very sorry.
As for Lyman, a straight man with a very normal aesthetic, he complained wildly in his heart, "Are you kidding me?"
However, because the three of them also have their own thoughts about the success of this film and television drama.
Therefore, at Wang Gradual's insistence, this female artist named Catherine was temporarily listed as the first candidate for director.
After that, some directors walked into the office one after another to accept interviews.
But these people have no good resumes, and their shooting opinions are also unusual.
In Lyman's words, it's just that you can't get a new trick if it's rotten.
So, three hours later.
Wang gradually pointed to Catherine's name and said to Lyman and Sarah, "Then are you sure to choose her?"
Sarah doesn't need to say much, Wang Gradual's attitude is hers.
And Lyman shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "You just make a decision, my main job is to coordinate with Cbs to determine the specific broadcast time of the film and television drama." ”
As he spoke, he signed his name on the appointment letter of the American drama director.
Then Lyman prepared to leave the office.
But at the moment when he was about to step out of the office, he suddenly turned his head and asked Wang Yan: "This producer, can you have a pen name or something like you writers." ”
Looking at the back of Lyman leaving, Wang gradually shook his head with a smile, and also signed his name on the director's appointment letter in front of him.
While handing over the documents to the staff around him, he instructed: "Inform this Catherine and let her participate in the audition of the actor as soon as possible." ”
After that, Wang gradually looked at Sarah, hesitated for a moment, and then still invited: "Sarah, let's have a meal together?"
Sarah, who was still immersed in some emotion, subconsciously replied, "Okay, okay." ”
When the two came to a high-end restaurant, the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Wang gradually looked at Sarah, thinking to himself: Did he help her this time, or did she help herself?
And Sarah also looked at Wang gradually and didn't know what to say.
She had more contact with Wang Yan, and she was naturally very willing.
However, because she just heard the female director dissect her novel today, it made her feel like she was on pins and needles.
She thought ashamedly, Wang gradually wouldn't think of anything, right?
In this way, the two of them finished this dinner.
When Wang gradually sent Sarah back to the apartment, she quickly closed the door and did not invite Wang to sit down.
At the same time, the restless Catherine had just received a notice from the crew.
I successfully auditioned and became the director of the crew of "Prison Break".
This means that after years of working as an artist, she finally has the opportunity to stand alone and become a director.
Catherine looked in the mirror and kept slapping her face.
He said to himself, "Calm down, calm down." Catherine, this is just the beginning. ”
"You're going to break into Hollywood and become a woman who is a well-known director. ”
After going on like this for more than ten minutes, she finally got rid of her extreme excitement and began to think normally.
"The crew's notice said that I should participate in the actor's audition as soon as possible. Catherine sat down at her desk with a pen in her hand, "That means the main roles of the crew are not decided?"
A suitable script, a layman's investment, and can also determine who will play the actor?
Catherine learned to whistle and exclaimed, "If the investment could be a little bigger, it would be more perfect!"
Then, she began to look through the address book and began to look for the image of the character in her mind.
She has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and she has met many good actors.
......
A few days later.
The same office, the same Wang, Sarah, and Lyman.
The difference is that next to the three, another person is added, and it is Catherine, who has officially become the director of "Prison Break".
"That girl had good acting skills just now, why did she pass it?" asked Lyman to Catherine.
Catherine glanced up at the blonde man, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.
"It's ugly. ”
Hearing this, Wang gradually and Sarah almost laughed out loud.
As co-producers, Wang Jian and Lyman are not stupid people.
They know that as newcomers to the entertainment industry, they don't know anything about film and television drama production.
So, the casting power was handed over to Catherine.
The reason why they came here was because they cared about the actors' salaries. On the other hand, it is to open your eyes.
At the moment, it is the audition for the heroine that is taking place.
The process can be roughly summarized as: good looking bad acting, good acting is poor, and some seem more suitable at first glance, but the performance style is too Broadway.
As for some actresses who were passed, they privately asked if they could "unspoken rules" or something, but they were ignored by Wang Jian and Lehmann.
As Catherine's "next" voice sounded, another actress walked in.
It's just that this woman is different from the beautifully dressed actors just now, and she exudes a smell of dust and dust all over her body.
"What are you doing here?" Catherine, who had already begun to have the authority to direct, frowned and asked, "At the audition scene, this is your attitude?"
The woman quickly bent down and apologized, "I'm very sorry, I flew here from Los Angeles." ”
Somewhat embarrassed, she put her suitcase in the corner and said, "I've run out of money and can't afford to rent a separate room." ”
"However, I will definitely cherish this opportunity. ”
Wang gradually glanced at the blonde woman and nodded at Catherine.
Catherine frowned and waved at the staff, "Go and prepare the bathroom, costumes, and props for her, and adjust the order of her interviews to last." ”
"Thank you, thank you very much. The woman stooped down and exited the room.
After more than a dozen interviews, Catherine shook her head helplessly.
She smiled wryly and asked, "Can't we really raise the salary of actors?" In that case, we can invite some actors who are a little more famous. ”
Wang Jian and Lyman glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
Catherine gestured weakly to the next one.
This is the final candidate for the interview heroine.
At a time when everyone's expectations were at their lowest, the actress performed surprisingly well.
Catherine looked at each other tightly, "What's your name?"
"My name is Naomi Watts and I'm from Australia. Thank you, director, for giving me this opportunity. ”
"Good. Where's your agent?"
"I only have co-agents in New York," Naomi said, bowing her head, "and he's auditioning for the warden." ”
"Call him in. Catherine said.
"Okay. Naomi bowed and trotted out.
A moment later, a middle-aged woman walked in.
"Thank you for giving Naomi a chance. She said gratefully.
Catherine interrupted her unceremoniously, "How much does Naomi get paid?"
The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, but still gritted her teeth and said tentatively: "Our WMA is trying to package services and sign multiple people, which will appropriately reduce the salary." ”
When Wang gradually heard this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: How do you feel like a human trafficker and a big reward for opening a business.
Catherine laughed, "You're also imitating CAA's package service? Okay, call another one." ”
The middle-aged agent smiled and hurriedly turned around and walked out of the office.
After a while, she walked in with a tall, flat-headed young man.
"Hello producers and directors. The young man bowed and then introduced himself: "My name is Wentworth Miller." ”
"I'm here to interview the warden. ”
ps: I changed it before, and changed the bet from benchmarking "Friends" to renewing it.
In fact, in the years when "Friends" became popular, many TV stations used it as a reference for their renewal standards.
Finally, I worked overtime today, and there was only one shift.
