Chapter 384: Virtuous do not shy away from relatives
There are five main judges for the audition: First Producer Donn Walker, Executive Producer Katherine Kennedy, Assistant Producer Erin Carey, Director Rob Marshall, and Casting Director Glenn Feyero.
Of course, it must be Donn who has the final say.
Catherine Zeta-Jones has just finished a 5-minute on-camera performance, and it works out great.
"She's a good actress and her acting skills are good enough. ”
During the internal discussion, Katherine Kennedy first gave an affirmative answer.
Rob Marshall agreed: "'That's right, she's the female lead I was expecting, and the 'Velma' in the movie is a nightclub dancer, and it just so happens that she's wild and glamorous enough, which is a temperament that is difficult to perform if you change to another actor." ”
Erin Carey looked at Catherine Zeta-Jones's information and said slowly: "She learned to sing and dance in her early years, and she began to perform musicals on stage when she was a teenager, which can be described as full of experience. According to the information, she also won the British tap dance championship, which just meets the requirements for the role of the movie. ”
Glenn Fierro agreed: "In my opinion, this character is made for her!"
In the original version of "Chicago", the one who impressed Donn the most was Katherine Zeta-Jones, with refined short hair, which was very outstanding.
External factors aside, as several others have said, Catherine Zeta-Jones is indeed the best candidate!
Don nodded, "The audition will continue, if there is no better one, then she will be!"
Rob Marshall looked very happy, and it was clear that Katherine Zeta-Jones was the actor he was looking forward to.
The fact that the director and the producer agree agree is a blessing for Hollywood directors.
"Next...... Jennifer Aniston. ”
Glenn Feyero shouted to the staff at the door.
But at this moment, a female staff member quickly walked over and whispered, "Madonna is here!"
Don En was shocked, "Ready?"
"Just waiting outside. ”
"Please let her in!"
At this time, there is no need to be polite, Don spoke directly and allowed Madonna to cut in line.
Jennifer Aniston also acted in a "Friends", which is just a little famous in the United States, and it is not at the same level as Madonna.
Even Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts have to take shelter in front of Madonna.
If you change to any Hollywood crew, it is impossible to let an international superstar like Madonna wait for a long time.
Five minutes later, Madonna finished her audition performance in front of the camera.
Don smiled politely: "It's great!"
Madonna is notoriously sexually arrogant, and she threw a wink at Donn, not caring about the presence of others, "I heard...... If I want to make your movie, I need to sleep with you?"
Tang En scolded ten thousand times in his heart, his face was calm and comfortable, "Nonsense, this is definitely slander!"
Madonna pulled the hair from her ears and kept squeezing her eyes at Don, "It's okay, don't break the rules because of me." ”
Don was sweating so hard that he almost threw up.
Even if it is well maintained, it is an aunt in her forties, and this coquettish and cute appearance is really creepy.
Fortunately, Glenn Fierro cleared the siege in time, "The rumors from the outside world are all nonsense, and the reason why Donn's movies are good is because he has a respectable professional attitude." Miss Siccone, what did you say...... Not a fact. ”
Rob Marshall also said: "Madonna, your performance is wonderful, but we need to think about it, you can go back now." If appropriate, we will contact your broker. ”
Madonna was skeptical, threw a big wink at Don again, and made a phone call.
When she left, Don En finally couldn't hold back the cold sweat that flowed down.
What an exaggeration!
This Madonna...... Sure enough, it lives up to its name!
Katherine Kennedy was the first to hold back, and "poof" laughed.
This laugh didn't matter, and others couldn't help it, and for a while, laughter rang out in the room.
Erin Carey said: "I think Madonna can, she can sing and dance, she is wilder than Katherine Jones, she is suitable for the role of 'Velma'. ”
Catherine Kennedy also said in fear that the world would not be chaotic: "A few years ago, she starred in "Madame Peron", which was very exciting, and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, and was nominated for an Oscar, she has acting experience. ”
Glenn Feyero also half-jokingly said: "I think it's okay, Madonna's popularity is much higher than that of Catherine Zeta Jones, and with her as the starring role, the future box office revenue will increase by at least 30 million US dollars!"
Tang En's face was pale, he gritted his teeth angrily, and refused very resolutely: "Impossible! This woman is a witch!"
Suddenly, he burst into laughter again.
……
In the morning, the first round of auditions was completed, and in the afternoon, there was a chemical test, which was to let the two actors play together to see if the interaction between them was good and whether there were any sparks.
Among the two heroines, the candidate for "Velma" has been basically determined, that is, Catherine Zeta-Jones, who leads all the candidates with an absolute advantage.
As for the candidates for "Lockie", five people have been preliminarily identified: Diane Mayer, Rachel Weisz, Denise Richards, Winona Ryder and Renee Zellweger.
In the afternoon, the crew will arrange for Catherine Zeta-Jones and these five people to play against each other to see the reaction effect.
Of course, because of her special relationship with Donn, Rachel Weisz definitely has the "right of first choice".
Because one of the two heroines, "Velma", has been confirmed, it is Catherine Zeta-Jones, so at lunchtime, Don called her over and had dinner with the audition officers of the crew, had an in-depth exchange of understanding of the role, and gave a series of explanations to the "chemical test" in the afternoon.
After thinking about it for a while, Don simply called Rachel Weisz up again to mention it.
Catherine Zeta-Jones was very excited, her face was flushed, and she kept raising her glass to toast everyone present, although she didn't drink much, but her attitude was sincere.
"Catherine ......"
"Mr. Walker, call me Kate!"
Kate ...... Well, Kate, my 'Kate' friends are quite a lot. Don made a joke first, and then said seriously, "Your agent, we have already contacted, as long as there is no problem with the salary, the role of 'Velma' is yours, I hope you can figure out this role more carefully, believe me, playing this role well, will make a big progress in your acting career." ”
Catherine Zeta-Jones immediately said: "Salary must not be a problem! I know that the budget of the crew is limited, and I am mentally prepared." ”
Tang En smiled slightly and raised his glass, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"
Rachel Weisz sat next to Donne, although there were many people present, but the actress was thick-skinned enough, she coquettishly told Don En in public, pouted and said, "What about me?"
"You?"
Don smiled and gave her the sliced beef from his plate, "You have to work hard, whether you can get the role of 'Lockie' depends on your performance in the afternoon." ”
Rachel Weisz's mouth bulged high, apparently unhappy with Donn's answer.
She knew that her rivals were Diane Mayer, Denise Richards, Winona Ryder and Renee Zellweger, but how could these people compare to her?
Except for Winona Ryder, none of them are as pretty as her!
Besides, she and Don ...... It's close!
Catherine Zeta-Jones looked at the two flirting in public, and she didn't feel weird, the actress and the male director were originally a match made in heaven, she came over like this back then, and said with a smile: "Rachel, don't pout, Mr. Walker's reputation is good, since you are ...... Friend, he's going to take extra care of you. ”
Rachel Weisz's eyes swept over Donn, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile.
Don ate quietly, calmly.
At this time, there was no need for him to talk more.
The conversation between the two women says it all.
All present were Donn's men, and since they understood Rachel Weisz's relationship with him, they must be extra attentive when judging.
Rob Marshall, a rookie director, may not know, but other Donn Films veterans do.
Don's habit of employing people is to be virtuous and not avoid relatives, starting from his own people!
