March 6, Los Angeles.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the temperature was 20 degrees Celsius and the humidity was moderate. Such a refreshing and pleasant weather made Nie Wei, who was preparing to start the second round of auditions, feel very good.

The audition lasted for three days, and a total of 87 actors signed up, and Nie Wei will also choose the last part of the cast among these actors.

The process was very smooth, in fact, it only took two and a half days for Nie Wei and the others to complete the task.

In the final discussion, Nie Wei gave the actor to Keanu Reeves, and did not choose the more famous Pete.

In fact, the two of them are half a pound in terms of acting skills, and their images are similar, maybe the younger Pete has a slight advantage, but the agency behind him has dragged him back.

Not all directors like to cooperate with agencies like CAA, and they have never been moved by the star promotion they promised, and the movies he shot have formed a word-of-mouth effect so far, and he is no longer Nie Wei who has just arrived in Hollywood.

Nie Wei felt that his name was the best publicity.

After the results came out, Pete's agent only expressed regret to Nie Wei on the phone, hoping that there would be a chance to cooperate next time.

Nie Wei also agreed with a smile, but in fact, Nie Wei had already put a question mark on CAA's artists in his heart, if these actors couldn't get rid of CAA's control for a day and let the agency interfere with the crew, then Nie Wei would not be able to use them.

Nie Wei's own crew can only have one voice, and that is Nie Wei's own voice.

And William of another brokerage company, Nie Wei is also useless, although the latter is much more honest than CAA, but who makes this William inferior to others, in the audition process in Los Angeles, Nie Wei found a better actor.

Timothy, who was born in 95, is not yet 18 years old this year, but his acting skills are as mature as a 30-year-old actor.

Interestingly, after Nie Wei confirmed that it was him, he realized that his movie was the first movie made by this kid.

"Director, I will definitely work hard to play this role well, don't worry. On the phone, Timothy, who received the news of the audition pass, was so excited that he almost burst into tears, as an actor, he knew very well how difficult it was to step from a TV actor to a film actor.

There is only one word difference between a movie actor and a TV actor, but the distance between them is very different.

Hu Ge, who has been acting in the original time and space, has starred in so many good-looking TV series, and his acting skills have a good reputation, but the reason why he has not been named a top actor by the public for a long time is that he has not had any good movie results.

The big screen is always the ultimate pursuit of actors, and only the box office and the movie trophies are the real interests and glory of actors.

What's more, Timothy can meet a world-class director like Nie Wei in his first movie, although he only plays a small role and does not have many shots, but as long as this movie can be like last year's "Inception", no, even if it is like "The Martian", he will definitely be able to lay a solid foundation in the film industry.

The thought of it made him feel like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

"You are the actor I chose, I am very confident in my vision, and naturally I am also very relieved of you, I will ask someone to send you the script tomorrow, study it carefully, although you don't have many roles, but I believe you have the ability to play these few scenes brilliantly, right?"

"Of course, I can do it. Timothy's blood was so excited by Nie's words that he almost swore an oath.

Seeing Nie Wei hang up the phone, Shu Chang on the side couldn't help but be happy, and said with a smile: "I'm fooling other people's young stupid boys again." ”

"How can this be called fooling, if he really plays well, maybe he will really become popular. Nie Wei retorted with a smile.

He actually said something nice just now, Timothy's character is really not brilliant, and even the adult version of this character belongs to the supporting role of the supporting role, which is far from the brilliance of the character who is his sister in the film.

However, actors just can't give up the pursuit, no matter how ordinary the role is, there will always be a moment to shine, even if it is a glowing light, there will be a time when it is discovered by the audience, and if it is caught, it is naturally possible to enter the hearts of the audience and be remembered by them.

Timothy received a call from Nie Wei, thinking that he was the special one, which is why he was easily fooled by Nie Wei, after all, he was such a small supporting role but let the director take the initiative to call to inform him, what is he optimistic about?

In fact, this is completely because he thinks too much, Timothy is not a special one, in fact, Nie Wei personally called every actor who successfully auditioned.

A movie also takes at least three months to shoot, especially a sci-fi blockbuster like "Interstellar", which takes longer to shoot from place to place.

This more than 100-day cooperation, not only the main actors, but also those supporting roles are also crucial, Nie Wei personally called, at least let them feel Nie Wei's attention, so that the work can be more serious, just like a watch, every gear must be perfect, in order to get out of the most accurate time.

Nie Wei's last call was for Keanu Levi.

In fact, before the call, Keanu had already received the news of the failure of his competitor, and when Nie Wei called, he was even celebrating with his agent at home.

Nie Wei's "Interstellar" is the most important role he has received since "The Matrix", not to mention that Keanu is even more excited at the thought of being able to work with Nie Wei and ask Nie Wei for kung fu advice at all times.

He had already met the teacher introduced to him by the Cheng family, and he had recognized the strength of the other party, and he had already taken that teacher with him when he returned to Kyoto this time.

However, in Keanu's heart, although the teacher is also very powerful, there is still a big gap compared to Nie Wei, at least his current teacher, not to mention breaking sandbags like Nie Wei as if the legend is like a cow across the mountain, he can't even break sandbags normally.

And during this time, Keanu's side knock also learned from the teacher's mouth what Nie Wei's strength was.

That's the answer Keanu gets.

Keanu has a deep understanding of the word, because only those who are at the top of all walks of life are qualified to be called grandmasters.

Keanu was surprised when he heard this evaluation, but he quickly agreed deeply, in Keanu's heart, Nie Wei's strength was indeed worthy of the title of grandmaster.

This also made Keanu more stimulated, and he was more eager to ask Nie Wei for kung fu.

So after receiving Nie Wei's call, after listening to Nie Wei's words, Keanu didn't express his joy at getting the role for the first time, but happily asked Nie Wei if he could ask Nie Wei for kung fu during his free time at work.

"Keanu, if you can meet my requirements perfectly, as long as I have free time, I will naturally guide you. Nie Wei replied, he was not afraid that Keanu would not concentrate on acting because of kung fu, he only needed to add a 'shackle', which was enough to make this guy obediently listen to his words.

Keanu nodded without hesitation and agreed to Nie Wei, saying that he would study the role carefully when he got the script.

The other party is almost fifty years old, and he is about to know the destiny of heaven in Huaxia, so Nie Wei will not say much if he is superfluous, he believes that the other party knows how to get what he wants.

After completing the audition in three days, Nie Wei and Shu Chang did not immediately go to Kyoto, but drove an RV all the way to the western United States.

This is a trip, Shu Chang wanted a road trip before coming to the United States, and since time permitted, Nie Wei naturally wanted to fulfill his wife's wishes.

And in addition to traveling, the duo's key destination is also an important location for the upcoming filming.

Shu Chang bought a small farm in Colorado.

Because in the movie, in addition to the former astronaut, the actor's occupation in the setting of the plot is farming, especially in the social background of the movie, almost everyone is farming, so a farm is very important.

"The 8,000 acres of land have been planted with corn according to your requirements, and in May and June, the corn will probably grow to the way you want, and I have also asked about the small town there, and they are very welcoming to us to shoot this matter, and they are very willing to cooperate with our work. ”

"By the way, Mr. Mayor asked me if I could help him with a role in your movie. Shu Chang said with a smile.

"Of course that's fine, I can add a character for him on the fly, or even give him two lines. Nie Wei readily agreed to the mayor's not too small request.

You must know that in the United States, the power of the mayor of a town is very large, because this position is not assigned from above in China, but is elected by the people of the whole town, just like the village chief in the country, how much power the village chief has in the village, the town mayor here has almost as much power, or even higher.

can make the mayor happy, and then better cooperate with the work, Nie Wei is naturally not afraid of this little trouble, and originally intended to meet the mayor's requirements.

Nie Wei naturally knew about Shu Chang's purchase of the farm.

And this farm did not go to the public account, but Shu Chang and Nie Wei bought it privately, the farm is not large, only 8,000 acres of land, most of which is arable land, the rest of the grassland is used for animal husbandry, and there are some horses and cattle on the farm, but they are not valuable breeds.

In addition, buying a farm also comes with a small cottage and a small repair shop, because the farms in the United States are all fully mechanized, and the most feared thing is that the agricultural machinery will break, so basically everyone who opens a farm is a good hand at repairing machinery.

The RV drove slowly for five days to reach its final destination.

After getting out of the car, Nie Wei's first feeling was that the wind was a little strong here, Shu Chang called the workers hired by the farm on the side, and after a while, he saw a very broken pickup truck driving over, and after getting closer, Nie Wei found that this broken pickup truck was still a Ford Raptor 150.

"Hi SU. Three people got out of the car, and one of the white uncles immediately greeted him warmly when he saw Shu Chang.

"Hello, Uncle Drew, this is my husband. Shu Chang smiled and introduced Nie Wei to Uncle Drew, and the two young people who followed Uncle Drew were his two sons, like the sons of the male protagonist in the play, after going to college and finding it difficult to find a job, he returned to his hometown to help his family work on the farm.

Although many urban people look down on rural people, and some people even call rural people 'farming', in fact, the income of rural people who farm is really incomparable to that of most urban people.

Especially in the United States, opening a farm is really profitable, and in a good year, you don't even have to make those gold collar differences.

Therefore, Uncle Drew not only felt that the two children were unproductive when they returned to work on the farm, but was overjoyed and felt that there was a successor to his farm.

And the farm that Nie Wei bought is currently employed by Uncle Drew's family, Drew is very good at farming, Shu Chang rented the farm to them after understanding the situation, of course, the date of contract performance is after the end of the filming.

"Hello Mr. Nie, my name is Owen. "Uncle Drew's eldest son is not very tall, he looks only 1.7 meters, but he is very athletic, full of muscles, and his shirt is bulging, and he looks like a small tank.

"My name is William. Uncle Drew's other youngest son also took the initiative to introduce, looking at Nie Wei and even faintly excited.

"I'm your fan, Nie, I love your movies so much, when I heard that you were going to make a movie here, I didn't even sleep for a night of excitement. "After saying hello, William revealed himself as a fan.

"Recently I auditioned for an actor named William. Nie Wei said with a smile.

"Really, what role does he play, I must watch the movie after it is released. William asked happily.

"I'm sorry, he was eliminated by me. Nie Wei shrugged his shoulders and replied, the smile on William's face froze when he heard this, but his embarrassed expression made the others laugh.

"Nie, I like your humor very much. Uncle Drew gave a thumbs up and praised.

After getting acquainted, Uncle Drew took Nie Wei and Shu Chang to check the situation on the farm, and after a circle, more than two hours passed.

Looking at the time, Uncle Drew sent an invitation to dinner to Nie Wei and Shu Chang.

Nie Wei did not refuse, and took Shu Chang to Uncle Drew's house for dinner, and when he returned to the farm villa, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Uncle Drew, who sent Nie Wei and Shu Chang home, told Nie Wei when he left that he would come over to pick up Nie Wei to the town on time at half past eight tomorrow morning.

For the mayor who claims to be an avid fan of his movie, Nie Wei is also looking forward to seeing him.

Early the next morning, when Nie Wei and Shu Chang were eating breakfast, they heard a knock on the door outside, Cheng Zimo went to open the door, and after a while, he walked in with Drew.
