Raising his head, he looked at the hall in front of him, which was spacious, bright, tall and transparent, and the dark blue tone looked calm and atmospheric, and there were no movie posters or actor photos in his sight, which didn't look like a film production company at all, but more like a business building. However, this is only Lan Li's first visit to a film company, there is no reference standard, only a fixed impression in his mind, perhaps, this is the case with all film production companies in Hollywood.

"Mr. Hall, your reserved meeting room is on the sixth floor, 6014. This is your temporary pass. The receptionist at the front desk said politely, then handed out three documents, Nathan stepped forward to take them, and finally nodded with a smile, "I wish you all the best." ”

Lan Li politely accepted his chin in response, Nathan handed out the ID to Lan Li and Roy, and the three of them walked towards the entrance gate next to them, "Do all the auditions for big companies take place at the headquarters? Lan Li asked curiously.

"Not necessarily. As a former agent, Roy knows all about this, "Most normal productions will be in the theater or on the set, especially on the set, where there are rooms dedicated to auditions. However, there are some special projects, or auditions for top actors, which are also held at the headquarters. ”

"So is the blue gift a special treatment?" Nathan's expression was a little excited, this is Warner Bros., since the millennium, Hollywood deserves the top spot, won the year-end box office championship for five years in ten years, and successfully achieved three consecutive championships in the past three years, and the performance is absolutely strong.

By the way, the remaining five years of championships, Disney won twice, Sony Columbia won twice, and Paramount won once.

Lan Li and Roy exchanged glances, and both of them had smiles in their eyes. Obviously, neither of them thinks this is a special treatment, and judging from the information provided by Andy before, it is more likely that "Edge of Tomorrow" still has not confirmed the core producer, and Tim Lewis does not have enough say to even determine the casting director, so he chose Warner Bros. headquarters for the first round of auditions.

Today, Lan Li paid a special visit to Warner Bros. headquarters in New York to audition for Edge of Tomorrow. I have to say that Andy is a resolute and tough-nosed agent, and it has only been two days since Lan Li got the script of "Edge of Tomorrow" and asked Andy to start operating, and the audition opportunity has already arrived. It's so efficient, it's really admirable.

It's just that now everything is unknown. What exactly does today's audition mean? What is Warner Bros.'s attitude? Is there any progress in the project? What is the audition like? What is the purpose of the audition? What kind of situation will the audition take? What are the requirements for the content of the performance? Is the coherence of the script important?

All of this information is unknown. If nothing else, today is just the first round of auditions, and there will be more auditions to come.

Although Lan Li has already participated in "Fast and Exciting / Love 5", the previous situation was quite special, it was just a round of auditions, and it was also a one-on-one interview camera, and the rest of the things were handed over to Andy, the whole process was concise and clear, crisp and neat, and it was not a typical super blockbuster cooperation model.

Strictly speaking, "Edge of Tomorrow" is the first time that Lan Li has participated in the top production of six major film companies from scratch, and he is still aiming at the position of the leading actor, and the whole audition process is a new challenge.

Lan Li had heard that Chris Hemsworth went through a total of four rounds of auditions before becoming "Thor". Of course, the audition process is bound to be different between rookie actors, second-tier actors, and top actors. I don't know what the audition for "Edge of Tomorrow" will be like this time.

"Well, we're at Warner Bros. headquarters right now, and in that sense, sort of. Roy replied in a serious manner that Nathan had blind faith in Lan Li, which was a good thing in a way. Looking down at his watch, "Nathan, what time is our afternoon plane?"

"Three forty-five. Nathan was in charge of booking the flights, so he remembered very clearly, "It's Tuesday, but at noon, the road to the airport is still full of traffic. So, it's best for us to be able to finish the audition by eleven o'clock. ”

Lan Li must fly to Toronto in the afternoon to attend the film festival, and "Love Crazy" will be officially screened tomorrow night. This itinerary has been determined when Lan Li is on vacation, and the audition for "Edge of Tomorrow" is a temporary addition, fortunately, Nathan's previous booking of the ticket was in the afternoon, and the time originally reserved for Lan Li to sleep lazy is now left to the crew to audition.

Obviously, it was Andy's deliberate decision to take advantage of the time difference and use this precious slot to have Lan Li talk to Edge of Tomorrow in time before the Toronto Film Festival. It can be seen that Andy has now started a new round of operation and planning.

It's not yet half past nine, which is more than enough in terms of time. However, the initiative of the audition is not in the hands of the actor, and everything is unknown about today's audition, so it is still necessary to act on the spot. That's why Roy asked.

While speaking, the three of them had already reached the sixth floor. There was no public audition, but it was not one of the few streamlined auditions imaginary, the entire corridor was empty, there was not a single person waiting in line, and it was so quiet that the sound of the elevator opening was like a bell, echoing in the corridor.

"This ...... Is it normal?" Nathan looked left and right at the empty, quiet hallway, which looked like the office building of a top listed company, cold and solemn, not even lifeless. This kind of environment is the most suitable for shooting horror ghost movies, just like the long corridor in "The Shining".

Roy also hesitated slightly, but thought about it, "Maybe, today is a one-on-one audition." Andy made a temporary appointment, and Warner Bros. may have sent relevant personnel from the crew to interview you specifically for you. After a pause, Roy added, "That's what a top actor is like." ”

But Roy's tone was a little uncertain. Sure enough, Lan Li cast his gaze, and both of them showed a suspicious look in their eyes. The reason is very simple, Lan Li is not a top actor now, not arrogant, but realistic. So why did Warner Bros. make such a gesture? Could it be that they have no hope for Edge of Tomorrow at all?

Nathan had already walked out of the footsteps, looked at the numbers at the doors of each room, then turned around, shook his head at Lan Li and Roy, and pointed in the opposite direction, indicating that room 6014 was on the other side.

Lan Li stepped away, looking for the room where they were going, when suddenly, the door of the escape staircase next to it was pushed open with a heavy blow, and the dull and shrill sound echoed throughout the corridor, and reflexively, Lan Li turned around, looked over, and then saw a short, stocky black woman.

This is not a discriminatory negative adjective, but realistic, her height is less than Lan Li's chest, but the width of her body is nearly two and a half Lan Li, a typical pear-shaped body, the buttocks control the center of gravity of the whole body, she is not happy when she walks, but she is shaking, a delicate and neat dreadlock, carefully matched jewelry, and a strong but delicate makeup, every detail can be seen that she is a woman who loves beauty.

She pushed the door and walked in, raised her eyes to look at Lan Li and the others, there was no special expression on her face, she just said hello casually, "Morning." There was no response to Lan Li's polite response, but he walked straight to the front, pushed open the door of one of the rooms, and without looking back, he directly raised his voice and said, "Mr. Hall, please come to this room." ”

The voice was cold, but the basic etiquette was maintained. Could it be that this is the interviewer of today?

"Lucinda-Syson. Roy nodded lightly and said a name, "It seems that Andy has not been idle for the past two days. It is estimated that the progress of the project has been made. ”

Lan Li didn't ask too much, just nodded meaningfully, and it could be guessed that this interviewer probably had some background. Two days ago, Edge of Tomorrow was a bare-bones project with Tim Lewis, Andy had three meetings with different people, and now the interviewer has a guy with a name, and the progress is obvious.

Auditions started so quickly and without warning. But this is not difficult for Lan Li, before the "Pacific War", he submitted a lot of resumes, although he did not win the opportunity to audition, but on Broadway he watched a lot of auditions, and knew the whole process. What's more, the current Lan Li can't say that he has experienced a hundred battles, but he is no longer ignorant.

Without brewing or hesitating, Lan Li took a straight step, walked to the door of the room and took a look, sure enough, it was number 6014, so he waved his hand at Roy and Nathan, and went in directly.

"Come on!" Nathan only had time to clench his fist and whisper, and then the door was closed. This made Nathan nervous, "Roy, is this kind of audition process normal?"

"Sort of. Roy said ambiguously, "But what is certain is that Lan Li can definitely handle it." Maybe after an audition, it's a decision?" Roy and Nathan both chuckled.

In Hollywood, casting directors are a very special position, they all have a pair of sharp eyes, there are almost 600,000 registered actors in Hollywood, but many casting directors have browsed actors, but far more than this number. They are not only good at digging out the shining points of actors, but also have their own deep understanding of director preferences, character styles, commercial potential, Hollywood models, etc.

It's no secret that the right casting can add a lot to a movie, and the chemistry between the actors is crucial, and the slightest miscasting can lead to the complete destruction of a project. Top casting directors, they are also hot existences. Lucinda Sisong is a top casting director.
