Chapter 453 There is no most pounce, only more pounce

After the audition offer was issued, John held an audition at Crown Studios.

The movie "Saving Private Ryan" requires dozens of professional actors and more than 1,000 ensembles.

But John doesn't audition one by one, he mainly auditions for the lead role and the rescue team, and the other professional actors are in charge of the producers sent by Nancy with Travis Knight and the new line.

As for the more than 1,000 ensemble performers, they were provided by the British government.

In order to restore the realism of the war as much as possible, John called the British side and asked them to help find 1,000 soldiers to participate in the shooting.

In fact, in the previous life, the crew of "Saving Private Ryan" at that time originally planned to shoot in the UK, but the British government refused to provide them with soldiers, so they went to Ireland later.

But this life is different, the British government can not give Hollywood face, but they can't give John's face, so even if they don't want to, they provide a thousand soldiers to come out and let John send them.

This is the benefit of having an identity, being able to do things that many people can't do, and it can also bring a lot of convenience.

For example, at this time, American movies rarely entered the rabbit country, and the number of films introduced by the rabbit country every year was very limited, only three or four a year, but as long as it was a movie made by John, no matter how many places there were in the rabbit country, one would always be reserved for John, and the big scissors would rarely operate on John's films.

So John is very famous in the rabbit country now.

However, the box office is a little unsatisfactory, there are too few people watching movies in the rabbit country for more than nine years, and there are fewer movie theaters, in this case, the box office is high, but it's better than nothing!

At nine o'clock in the morning, the audition officially began, and Tom Hanks was the first to walk into the audition room, the "Forrest Gump" has now become the hottest actor in Hollywood, and as his popularity has grown, his salary has also increased to $15 million.

"Tom, this movie requires 20 days of military training for the actors, do you have a problem here?"

At the end of the audition, Tom Hanks's acting skills were impeccable, but acting online is only one of the requirements, and the other requirement is that all participating actors must undergo military training.

"No problem, just tell my agent when you start training. Tom Hanks didn't refuse, some special roles need to participate in some training, which is responsible for the role, as an excellent actor, it is naturally impossible to refuse, and it is only 20 days of military training, when he was filming "Forrest Gump", he went to a special school for a few months, so in comparison, 20 days of military training is really not worth mentioning.

"Well, you can get your agent in touch with Nancy. John nodded and ticked the back of the audition single-character with a pencil to indicate that the audition was passed.

After Tom Hanks left, Matt Damon walked into the audition room.

Matt Damon is naturally familiar with John as Hollywood's golden boy.

And he has watched "Spy Shadow" more than once in his previous life, and he still recognizes the acting skills of this golden boy.

In fact, Matt Damon, who debuted for a few years, performed a one-man show, and his acting skills were very online, and he could fully afford the role of Ryan.

"Mr. Damon, this movie requires 20 days of military training for the actors, do you have a problem here?" John finally asked.

Matt Damon frowned slightly: "When will the training start?"

"Mid-September. John gave a definite time. If the military training is too early, it may not feel this way by the time the shooting is made, so in order to maintain the feeling, John decided to hold the military training a month before the start of filming.

"That may not work, the scene on my side is not over in mid-September, and I may not be able to participate in military training. "Mark Damon is going to shoot "Courage in the Line of Fire" in June, and it won't end until October, so there is no time for military training.

"In that case, then you go back first, and we'll discuss it here before giving you an answer. John then sent Mark Damon away.

After Mark Damon left the audition room, John immediately turned his head to look at Nancy on the side and ordered, "Send an audition invitation to Leonardo DiCaprio." ”

There is no special existence in John's crew, since Mark Damon has no schedule, then choose another one, no one in Hollywood is indispensable, including Tom Hanks.

"Okay. Nancy nodded.

On the other side, Travis Knight and the producer sent by the new line did not speak, Telvis Knight had just joined the group and was not familiar with the affairs of the crew, so he only studied quietly on the side, as for the producer sent by the new line, he didn't dare to have any opinions, he came to help John share the work, not to make trouble.

After Mark Damon left, a burly man walked into the audition room.

John saw a playful smile on this person's face, this burly and strong man he knew Vin Diesel, a famous Hollywood crew prick, tough, unsociable, often provoked right and wrong in the crew, and asked to change the script at every turn, add drama, and the less famous director couldn't do anything about him, full of-stirring sticks.

However, John dared to let Vin Diesel come over, so he didn't worry about whether he was a thorn, John said that he had to be a dragon in his crew, and he had to be a thorn? Aren't people like the stunt team also thorny heads?

"Introduce yourself. John gestured to Vin Diesel.

Vin Diesel took a breath and introduced: "Good director, my name is Vin Diesel, I have starred in a movie since my debut, I have directed and acted in one, and the film has now been handed over to Warner Film and Television for distribution, and it will be released on August 13." ”

Vin Diesel looked at John a little nervously after speaking, he is usually tough, but that is also dividing people and things, it's okay to be tough in front of second- and third-rate directors, but if you are tough in front of super first-line directors, you have no brains.

Especially people like John who don't take Michael Ovitz and Harvey Weinstein in their eyes, let alone offend, people even dare to offend the two Hollywood bigwigs, and if you want to be a thorn, you have to claim that you don't have that little bit of weight.

"The role you play is somewhat similar to Forrest Gump, which is more wooden, so you can take a look at this scene now and then perform it. John handed a short piece of the script to Vin Diesel.

Ten minutes later, Vin Diesel read the script, understood the role, and played a scene with Travis Knight, and the performance was not bad, this role was originally tailored for him by Spielberg, and it was natural and perfect for him, and he didn't need to enter the play.

"All the actors here are going to have a 20-day military training in September, can you accept it here?" Vin Diesel was quite satisfied with his performance, and asked after reading it.

"Acceptable. ”

Vin Diesel hurriedly replied, secretly happy in his heart, the meaning of John's words had already appeared that he had already obtained the role.

Getting the role of John has a lot of benefits for Vin Diesel, first of all, he has capital, starring in a drama of a super-first-line director can save him a lot of travel, and when he goes to audition in the future, he can also pat his chest and tell the other party confidently that he is also a person who has starred in super-first-line director movies.

The second is that there are interests, Vin Diesel's self-directed and self-starred movie will be released on July 25, and then he can use the matter of starring in John's movies as a gimmick, promote it well, and use "Saving Private Ryan" to increase the attention of his movie, and as soon as the attention increases, the box office will naturally rise.

However, if John's careful thinking was known, John would definitely sympathize with him, the movie he directed and acted in was originally a big fight, and now it will be released on July 25, and the beautiful soup "Mission Impossible" is not the most pounced, only more pounced.
