After Tom Hanks went out, John asked as he looked at the casters who accompanied him. "What do you think, Director Coppola?"

"Hanks, you can play this role!" Francis Ford Coppola nodded.

"I agree to use him, he's good!" Martin Scorsese said.

"Joanna, what do you think!" John said as he looked at Joanna, who was sitting next to Francis Ford Coppola.

"I agree!" replied Joanna. The two big directors agreed, and she naturally wouldn't object to playing soy sauce.

John looked at the crowd and agreed, then looked at Nancy and said, "Well, in that case, Nancy, you call Tom Hanks tomorrow." At the same time, when you talk to him about the salary, you can't end up with more than $10 million!"

The performance contract is in the hands of Nancy and the lawyer, and John doesn't have to interfere, after all, there is a classic saying: talking about money hurts feelings. As a director, it is very unwise to negotiate with actors about salaries.

In his previous life, Tom Hanks's salary in "Forrest Gump" was exactly $10 million, but he finally got more than $60 million, the reason why this is the case is because "Forrest Gump" was seriously overspent in the later stage of filming, and the crew had no money to do post-production, and Tom Hanks reduced his salary by 5 million to the crew, in exchange for 10% of the box office share of "Forrest Gump".

In the end, the global box office of "Forrest Gump" was more than 600 million US dollars, so Tom Hanks, who could get 10% of the box office, naturally got more than 60 million US dollars in the end.

And in this life, Tom Hanks will not have such good luck, because in this life, "Forrest Gump" met a master who is not short of money.

As for using the banner of public welfare to let actors act for free or reduce their salaries, John had thought about doing so before, but then he thought about it, so that he would owe many actors favors, and don't owe favors in Hollywood, you must know that if you owe too much favors, you can't afford to pay it back.

Especially for people like him, not only as a director, but also as a film company in the future, if he owes too much favor, it will definitely be anxious, at least when casting, it will be very difficult. So now he would rather pay for it himself than owe favors.

Tom Hanks's affair came to an end, and the next person who entered the audition room was Winona Ryder, the actress candidate.

"Hi everyone! I'm Winona Ryder, please advise!" Winona Ryder nodded to the people in the audition stand as she walked into the audition room. At the same time, there was a clear embarrassment on her face when she saw Francis Foteco Pola.

The reason why she was unhappy with Winona Ryder was because Winona Ryder released her father's pigeon during the filming of "The Godfather 3", which caused her father to be anxious, and finally couldn't find a replacement, so she was asked to take over the role played by Winona Ryder, and it was precisely because of this role that she won the Golden Sour Plum Award, which made her leave Hollywood and become a telephone operator in Paris.

"Please sit down!" Although Francis Ford Coppola dislikes Winona Ryder in his heart and dislikes her for her lack of professionalism, "Forrest Gump" is not his movie after all, and he can't overstep his bounds.

Winona Ryder nodded at Francis Ford Coppola's words, then sat down in her chair and secretly looked at the people sitting in the audition stand.

"Miss Red, now I'm going to give you an audition script, and you've got half an hour to familiarize yourself with it?" said John, looking at Winona Red.

Looking at Winona Ryder in front of him, John couldn't help but nod secretly, Winona Ryder in his youth was a goddess! It's a pity that he was scrapped by the captain, not only lost his good future, but also became infamous, and he didn't cheer up until he was middle-aged, but it was too late at that time, and the actress's life expectancy was not as long as that of a male actor.

"Okay!" Winona Ryder looked at John a little surprised after taking the script, she didn't expect the director of "Forrest Gump" to be so young.

After Winona Ryder figured out the script half an hour later, John asked Sophia to prepare the play with her, and Sophia was a little reluctant on her face, but she still walked over with the script, if it wasn't for the needs of work, she didn't bother to pay attention to this mentally handicapped woman.

Winona Ryder's audition is the same as Tom Hanks's, except that Winona Ryder plays the female protagonist Jenny, while Sophia plays the male protagonist Forrest Gump in turn.

After more than ten minutes, Winona Ryder and Sophia were ready, and nodded at John.

"Ready to start ......"

“action……！”

Jenny, played by Winona Ryder, said helplessly as she walked, "You can't do this all the time, Forrester." You can't keep trying to save me. ”

Forrest Gump, played by Sophia, replied stupidly: "They just wanted to arrest you." ”

Jenny looked back at Forrest Gump and said unhappily, "A lot of people want to arrest me, but you can't do it all the time!"

Forrest Gump heard Jenny's words and said with a firm face: "I can't help it, I love you ......." ”

When Sophia said this, she felt a little sick to her stomach. It's also fortunate that he is not an audition actor and has no requirements for acting skills, otherwise her expression just now will definitely be cut.

And John on the side looked at Winona Ryder's performance and nodded secretly, Winona Ryder was born to be an actor, and it is really good to be able to enter the role of Jenny in a short period of time.

“cut……！”

After the performance, John shouted to stop.

"Miss Ryder! Forrest Gump will start filming in May next year, do you have time at that time?" John asked Winona Ryder the question he asked Tom Hanks, because he first had to confirm whether the actor had a schedule, and if there was no schedule, everything would be.

"Yes!" Winona Ryder replied.

"All right, Miss Rhett, my agent Nancy will inform you of the results of the audition tomorrow. "Although the character of Jenny is the heroine, there are not many scenes in the movie, and it is only a vase role, which does not require special training like Tom Hanks.

"Okay! thank you!" Winona Ryder nodded at John. "Director Chris Deng! My boyfriend Johnny Depp is a very good actor, I wonder if there is a suitable role for him in "Forrest Gump"?" Winona Ryder looked at John expectantly after speaking, she very much wanted to star in "Forrest Gump" with Johnny Depp at the same time.

"Captain!"

When John heard Winona Ryder's words, he couldn't help but think of the smoky Captain Jack in "Pirates of the Caribbean" who walked with his orchid fingers cocked and twisted.

"If Mr. Depp is willing to succumb to a cameo role in Forrest Gump, then I can arrange it. John thought for a moment and replied,

"Cameo!" Winona Ryder was a little disappointed. She wants to get a supporting role for Johnny Depp, not a cameo. "Director Chris Deng, are there no suitable supporting roles in the play?"

John frowned after hearing Winona Ryder's words, Winona Ryder's request was a bit excessive, not to mention that she is not the heroine of "Forrest Gump" now, even if she is, she is not qualified to ask John for a supporting role so aggressively. You must know that John and her are not friends, and the other is not a partnership, and to put it bluntly, the relationship between them is just the simplest employment relationship, one gives money, and the other works.

"Could it be that the IQ of a woman in love will drop!"

John shook his head, he didn't want to deal with a woman in love. "Miss Red! I'm so sorry! There is no supporting role suitable for Mr. Depp in Forrest Gump!"

John originally thought that if Winona Ryder agreed, he would give the captain the role of Jenny's boyfriend in the play, which was the character who beat Jenny and was beaten by Forrest Gump, John felt that it was very suitable for Winona Ryder and the captain, so he rehearsed for them in advance.

And Winona Ryder was disappointed when she heard John's words, and the cameo role Johnny Depp couldn't look down on, so she had to give up. "Thank you!" Director Chris Deng. ”

"No!" John replied faintly.

Looking at Winona Ryder's back as she left the audition room, John shook his head secretly, Winona Ryder did not hesitate to risk offending him for the sake of the captain, and asked for a role, I wonder if this woman will regret what happened today when she broke up with the captain a year later.

However, people who are desperate for love should not be ridiculed, after all, who hasn't done one or two stupid things when they are in love!
