Chapter 814 Doesn't Feel Quite Right
In Burbank, in the studio of the Hughes aircraft factory, auditions are underway for the future "Avengers Project".
Young Chris Evans, dressed in a slightly old American-style military uniform, stands in front of the camera lens and poses in various movements at Jon Favreau's request.
Ronan and Kevin Feige sat together, and the two remained silent the whole time.
With future project directors yet to be decided, the Avengers members are again ahead of the cast for the auditions, which are hosted by Jon Favreau and decided by Ronan and Kevin Feige.
Ronan looked at Chris Evans quietly, the actor of Thunderbolt, who looked more like Team America.
It's a pity that the faces are very similar, but the temperament is not the same.
It's a feeling that's not easy to describe, and young Chris Evans always feels like something is missing.
If you really want Ronan to describe it, it is the lack of Steve Rogers' temperament and belief that he can talk to anyone.
Captain America is a comic book superhero, and because of the era he was born in and the responsibilities he carries, he is not only a comic book superhero.
After the audition, Jon Favreau glanced at Ronan and Kevin Feige, saw that they didn't have anything to say, and said directly: "That's it for today." ”
Chris Evans also looked over here, and from the faces of the two producers, he couldn't tell anything at all.
"Thank you. Chris Evans bowed slightly.
Jon Favreau said: "We'll let you know the results of the audition within a week. ”
Chris Evans nodded slightly, turned and left the audition room.
After going out, I quietly touched the sweat, and the agent came over and asked, "How is it?"
Chris Evans shook his head: "I don't know either, but I feel pretty good." ”
The agent said: "Ronan Anderson and Kevin Feige didn't say it?"
"Nope. Chris Evans said: "They never said anything. ”
The agent thought for a while and said, "This is a good thing, there is no on-site veto, which means that we still have a chance." ”
Chris Evans asked, "Do you need to do something?"
The agent understood what this meant, and quickly stopped: "Don't! Chris, you do look good, but you are not a woman." The audition for Relativity Entertainment is also relatively fair in Hollywood, and no matter what choice Ronan Anderson makes, the audition effect will be used as the first reference. ”
Chris Evans walked towards the dressing room: "yes, nobody is going to joke about a billionaire investment, even if he's a billionaire. ”
In the audition room, a young actress stands in front of the camera lens.
Like Chris Evans, this is also the actor who Ronan directly asked people to send out an invitation to audition.
"I'm Hayley Atwell and I'm a graduate of the London School of Music and Drama. ”
The military-clad actress has brown hair and an angular face that is common to British Americans: "I'm currently filming the TV series 'Glamour Curves' and I'm working as a supporting actress in the 'Duchess' film project funded by Paramount......"
Probably wearing a military uniform, the British actress looks heroic.
Ronan's intuitive impression of her was that she was very fierce, no less magnificent than Jessica Felton, and that she was quite athletic, looking stronger than the average man.
The big-breasted beauty team and the big murderer Carter, this is a perfect match.
Ronan unconsciously remembered the casting of "Thor", which was a failure.
Can you imagine an embarrassing scene where a heroine's breasts are not as big as a male protagonist's?
As for being strong, isn't that the most important thing a female soldier should have?
Who can imagine what it would be like to be a female soldier with thin arms and legs and a special ability to fight? Peggy Carter is not only a vase, but also a soldier, a very capable agent.
Peggy Carter auditioned for acting according to Jon Favreau's request, her acting skills are not too brilliant or bad, as a typical British academy, an actor who has attended a professional drama school, is much better than Chris Evans.
The audition lasted less than forty minutes before it ended.
When Hayley Atwell left, Ronan was the first to speak: "Tell me what you think of these two." ”
Jon Favreau was the first to say: "Hayley Atwell is good, her acting skills are above the level, and her body shape and temperament are also suitable for playing female military roles." ”
Kevin Feige agreed: "The actress is a good fit. ”
Ronan was as good as a stream, and made a direct decision: "Peggy Carter tentatively has Hayley Atwell, Kevin, you notify her as soon as possible to negotiate a contract." He asked, "Did she agree to a long contract?"
Kevin Feige said: "In the non-disclosure contract before the audition, there was a long-term contract, and they were willing to participate in the audition, all of which were conditional on agreeing to sign a long-term contract. ”
Ronan nodded slightly, and instead asked, "What about Chris Evans?"
"How to say it, the image is very good, and the appearance fully meets the requirements. Jon Favreau was still the first to speak: "But it always feels a little problematic, even if you wear a star-striped uniform and pick up a shield, you don't look like Captain America." ”
It's clear that Ronan is not alone.
Kevin Feige said: "It should be that he is too young, the previous roles are too jumpy, and he has been affected to a certain extent, and he lacks the composure and toughness that Steve Rogers must have. ”
Ronan clasped his hands to his chest and said, "Indeed, Chris Evans is more of a bastard. ”
Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as stunned.
Jon Favreau, in a responsible manner, asked, "Do you want to consider other candidates? ”
"Yes. Ronan said, "Captain America's audition continues, and then the other candidates are examined." ”
Kevin Feige answered, "I recommend the personal pick, Josh Hartnett. ”
Ronan frowned slightly, "Josh-Hartnett?"
"He's a good guy, he's a steady guy in life. Kevin Feige said in detail: "In recent years, Josh Hartnett has starred in two military-themed movies, "Pearl Harbor" and "Black Hawk Down", in which he has played all the military roles with a tough temperament and has rich acting experience. ”
Ronan said: "The resume is really good enough to get Josh Hartnett in an audition. ”
If it were someone else, with such a military resume, Ronan might have considered it, but Josh Hartnett ......
This is an actor in a very strange situation, with good acting skills and image, but the movies he starred in always had problems in terms of the market.
Take Josh Hartnett's two first-line productions, "Pearl Harbor" and "Black Hawk Down", in which he played an extremely important role, and the box office of the two films was not bad, but it was far from the expected results of the producers and distributors.
After that, the former Josh Hartnett starred in a series of movies, of which few had excellent commercial success, and he himself was not popular at all.
Hollywood has two very peculiar male stars, one is Josh Hartnett and the other is Colin Farrell.
has obtained a lot of resources, and his own ability is not bad, but the response to the movies he starred in is worse than the other.
Of course, the so-called setting of "good looks and good acting skills is not popular" is a false proposition in itself.
Before the former Chris Evans played Steve Rogers, he was not much better, but the American team he created was quite successful.
If it is replaced by a peculiar type like Josh Hartnett, Ronan said that he has no worries in his heart, it must be fake.
Jon Favreau, knowing that Chris Evans was Ronan's chosen choice, asked, "What about Chris Evans?
Kevin Feige said: "Unless he can change his mood and temperament. ”
Ronan thought for a moment and said, "In this way, all the main actors of this project will enter the barracks for training. Kevin, you talk to Chris Evans' agent and let Chris Evans have a two-month experiential life in the barracks, and if he can have a development that fits the character, we'll reconsider. Otherwise, he is out. ”
He added: "Don't stop the auditions, we do multi-hand preparations. ”
Kevin Feige knew who the real decision-makers were and immediately said, "Okay, I'm going to talk to Chris Evans about it myself tomorrow." ”
Ronan emphasized: "Due to the copyright, the two cores of the Avengers can only be Iron Man and Captain America, and Captain America is the spiritual pillar of this team, which is very important. ”
The former series of movies, the Avengers, is completely a pattern of the two giants.
"That's it for the morning. Jon Fein then said, "Thor's actor audition is not until the afternoon. ”
Ronan and the three of them discussed as they walked out of the audition room, and he focused on Roaring Commando.
The composition of this special force under the direct command of Captain America is quite complex, and it will fully reflect the characteristics of American society, including British, Asian, Latino, Slavic and African-American.
Because of copyright, Wolverine, who fought alongside Captain America in the comics, could not appear in this film.
After saying the roaring commando, Ronan asked, "The port city side clearly refused?"
"Yes. Kevin Feige replied: "The Mr. Xu you mentioned is currently preparing for a solo exhibition, and there is no schedule at all. ”
Ronan nodded, didn't say anything more, he had the impression that he was indeed versatile, not only dedicated many wonderful artistic shots on the screen, but also seemed to have some achievements in painting.
It's a pity, this is a Santa Claus dressed as Thor, and even Thor can't tell which one is the real Thor.
Hollywood has never lacked actors, and Ronan just has a little regret, and the actors who auditioned for Thor in the afternoon were also good.
Jason Momoa, an actor from Hawaii, has accepted an offer from Marvel Entertainment.
