Chapter 20 Auditions

After hearing John's words, Jim Carrey remembered the time when he first came to Hollywood to work hard, which made his heart feel a little moved, but for the sake of his future, he could not make up his final decision.

But when Jim Carrey heard that John was willing to gamble with $5 million, he let go of the last vestiges of worry in his heart and agreed to John's gambling agreement. If "Stealing Love" can really have a box office of 70 million US dollars, it will be good for both parties. But if it wasn't filmed well, it received bad reviews from some audiences, and it didn't reach the box office of $70 million, and he also had $5 million as compensation, so for him, no matter what the film's results were, he wouldn't have anything to lose.

Jim Carrey, who had thought clearly, looked at John and said, "Director Chris Deng!

Jim Carrey admired John's behavior of defending his dreams, and recognized the young director in his heart, so he used the word "director" instead of "sir" for the first time in his title.

"Yes, Mr. Jim Carrey, if you pass the audition, then we'll sign this gambling agreement. ”

When John heard Jim Carrey call himself a director, he knew that Jim Carrey had endorsed him, which was a good thing for him, but the audition was still done. Although Jim Carrey is the first actor he decides, he doesn't dare to guarantee that Carrey will definitely be suitable for this role, so everything has to rely on facts.

"Good ......" eliminated Jim Carrey, who was skeptical in his heart, and agreed very simply at this moment.

Nancy, who was on the side, felt very harsh when she heard the word "good", seeing that Jim Carrey was about to leave, but the plot was reversed all of a sudden, and it did not develop as she expected, which made her feel as disgusting as eating a dead fly.

At this moment, she really wanted to rush to Jim Carrey and ask loudly: "Didn't you say that you would leave? Didn't you say that it was good to teach this related household a lesson......?

It's just that Nancy's cry in her heart Jim Carrey is destined not to be heard. As for John, he couldn't hear it, and at this moment, after getting Jim Carrey's consent, John looked at Jim Carrey with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Jim Carrey......!

"Wait......"

Before John could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Jim Carrey: "Director Chris Deng, you still call me Carrey!"

"Okay!" John nodded, John was naturally happy to accept the kindness released by Jim Carrey, and the relationship between the director and the protagonist in a crew was very important.

"Kerry, then I'll tell you the drama first, you're putting on a show. ”

There are two kinds of auditions, one is the audition for outsiders to enter the film and television circle, also known as the first audition, which mainly examines a newcomer's expressiveness, acting talent and physical quality in front of the camera.

Another kind of audition is also called audition, which is mainly to examine whether a person who is already an actor meets the requirements for the characters in the play to be filmed.

The audition that Jim Carrey will carry out is the second type, that is, the audition, the process of the audition is that the director first talks to the actors, and after the actors understand, they perform on the spot according to the content of the director's speech. The director judges whether the actor meets the requirements of the role in the play based on the actor's performance.

John took a small part of the script in "Stealing Love" to talk to Jim Carrey, because John was an assistant director in his previous life, he was familiar with this kind of thing, so it didn't take long to explain the plot that Jim Carrey was going to perform.

"Carrey, do you understand?" John asked, looking at Jim Carrey.

"No problem!" For this kind of audition work, Jim Carrey is also commonplace, an actor's job is nothing more than filming, auditioning and then auditioning, filming, so he has already practiced the ability of improvisation.

"Good...... Then you can get started. John walked back to his seat and waited for Jim Carrey's performance.

Jim Carrey is worthy of being the king of comedy in later generations, after he heard John shout to start, he instantly entered the role, and performed the plot of John telling him, although his acting skills have not yet reached the point of perfection in later generations, but the role of Phil in the play was performed very well by him. It can be said that in just five minutes of performance, he successfully created a male protagonist who neither loves others nor himself.

When the performance was over, John was the first to applaud: "Carrey, you've done a great job, I think you're a good fit for Phil's role, and if there's no problem, you can ask your agent to talk to Nancy about the contract." Once the contract is signed, the script will be sent to you. ”

Generally, actors will only get the detailed script of the movie after signing the contract. This is also to ensure that the script of the movie does not leak out.

"Okay, no problem, then I'll go out first...... Jim Carrey said as she shook hands with John and Nancy and walked out of the audition room.

After Jim Carrey left the room, John looked at Nancy next to him and said, "Nancy, try to keep Jim Carrey's salary as low as possible! It's better to keep it within $1 million, and he's only worth that price at the moment." ”

"Okay......" Nancy heard John's words, her heart was full of contempt for John, she had just talked about her dreams with Jim Carrey, but now she was trying her best to lower Jim Carrey's salary, what kind of person is this!

In fact, Nancy knew that John was okay with doing this, and that relationships and interests could not be mixed. But when she saw that John had successfully persuaded Jim Carrey, she was always uncomfortable, so she secretly put some small labels on John.

After Jim Carrey's affair is over, John will then have to interview the heroine Sandra Bullock.

The future Oscar actress and Golden Globe actress born in 64 is two years younger than Jim Carrey, and now she is in the mood for love, and her good face and excellent acting skills will definitely make this "Stealing Love" better than the previous life, and it is officially for this reason that John will choose Sandra Bullock.

It's just that Sandra Bullock, who became famous in later generations, is now just a small actor in Hollywood, like Jim Carrey. Even if she becomes a first-line actress in Hollywood in the future, she will still take on some bad scenes to film, let alone now. So she doesn't have much of an opinion that John is the director of the film.

John also asked her to perform a plot in a movie script, although her acting skills still need to be improved, but it is enough to play a good role as a vase in "Stealing Love", John feels that as long as the price is right, the heroine of "Stealing Love" must be her. But if she opens her mouth, John doesn't mind playing it from a new person, anyway, this movie is not too demanding for the heroine.

After the audition of the male and female protagonists, John auditioned for several important supporting roles, and the supporting roles and extras that are not important in the general play, John was handed over to Nancy to be responsible, and there are professional actors in ICM, and those newcomers who want to appear, as long as the price is right and they have a certain acting foundation.

After all the auditions, Nancy started the negotiation mode, and after a few days of bargaining, the two protagonists Jim Carrey and Sandra Bullock finally signed the contract, of course, the salary was pressed to the lowest by Nancy, Jim Carrey's salary of $950,000, Sandra Bullock was slightly more expensive and got a salary of $1 million.

John is very satisfied with the price cut by Nancy, in a few years, these two are actors who have entered the 20 million club, and now this price is simply the price of pork sold as cabbage, so John has nothing to be dissatisfied with.
