In other words, Wu Cheng, the big boss, is not only not registered with the actors' union, but also not with the Hollywood directors' union, and he seems to have a feeling of looking down on these unions!
And as the president of their union, he seemed embarrassed to invite him to join.
In fact, Wu Cheng didn't pay attention to this aspect at all. Anyway, it's not that there is no film without registration, with his strength, what film can he not make?
The existence of these unions is only to protect the rights and interests of their members.
Wu Cheng shook his head and said: "No, no, don't be in a hurry first, you can let others try it first, and then call him in, so that there will be contrast, and it can also be more intuitive!"
Although Wu Cheng is just sitting here as a screenwriter, no one will really see him as just a screenwriter. After all, people are the bosses behind DreamWorks.
Therefore, everyone naturally regards Wu Cheng as the center.
Then, the casting process begins.
I have to say that strange is not a specialty of Huaxia. Here in North America, there are also all kinds of wonders.
You ask him to perform, and he actually glares at you with his eyes, and he says it's a show.
You ask him to recite, and he asks you if you can sing it, because it is better to sing!
And some people's performances are light and tasteless, while others perform too hard, even harder than the Roaring Emperor, what is the situation? and some people are too strict in the style of the stage play, and they can't change it, so they ask him to change it, and he seems to want to go all the way to the dark, and he doesn't plan to turn back when he breaks through the south wall.
Wu Cheng felt a little embarrassed to sit there, because he couldn't help but laugh, and this smile tasted a little ridiculous.
Of course, when the auditioners have withdrawn, they will hold their stomachs and look at each other and smile.
The woman from the actors' union was very embarrassed, she seemed to feel that these people were embarrassed for their beauty. After all, Wu Cheng is not an American, but a foreigner. If you lose face in front of foreigners, wouldn't that be a loss of their beautiful face?
If Wu Cheng knew her thoughts, he would definitely tell her: "Auntie, you think too much!"
This kind of strange thing, in fact, is not exclusive to Lao Mei, when so many domestic talent shows conduct auditions in the future, won't all kinds of strange things appear?
However, there are wonders, and there will naturally be real talents.
It's as if those strange stores are just to set off this kind of talent.
As Wu Cheng said, there are some people who are born to be the protagonist's life.
When Tom Hanks accepted Howard's offer and began auditioning for the lead actor Henry Ross, Wu Cheng knew that he already had what it took to become the main character.
A good actor, his whole body is a play, not to mention this character who can win the Oscar for Best Actor for two consecutive years in the future.
Although his performance is still a little young now, compared to many newcomers, he is already very good, let alone compared with those wonderful.
Yes, for this protagonist candidate, Wu Cheng still prefers him.
In fact, even if his acting skills are very average now, Wu Cheng will give him this opportunity, because this is a talent that is very worthy of training, and it is completely worth it just for his future value.
Moreover, the heroine of this film is also a very good acting woman, if you let someone with no acting skills cooperate with her, it is estimated that when filming starts, she will be so pressed that she can't hold her head up!
At that time, the female protagonist is too brilliant, and the male protagonist is pressed without the slightest sense of zài, so the fun will be great.
"What do you think of him?"
When Tom Hanks left the room, Wu Cheng asked Director Howard next to him.
Howard can also see that Wu Cheng, the screenwriter, is more inclined to this Tom, and depending on what he means, he seems to be very optimistic about this Tom. Otherwise, CAA wouldn't have asked CAA to sign him before the movie started filming and this Tom hadn't shown any potential.
For Wu Cheng's vision, not to mention Howard, even Meyer himself was surprised.
But surprise is surprise, Wu Cheng seems to have failed for so long. may be the most unsuccessful one, is to let Hepburn star in a Xiangjiang movie!
Of course, if you look at it from the perspective of investment, the Xiangjiang film actually made money.
Moreover, it was under Wu Cheng's suggestion that CAA developed so quickly and was so successful. Therefore, for Wu Cheng's vision, Meyer has always trusted him.
Yes, even if he was very puzzled in his heart, why did Wu Cheng dare to be so sure, but he would still carry out what Wu Cheng ordered.
Howard thought for a moment and nodded, "It's really very good!" However, there are so many actors down there, so let's take a little more time to try them out one by one." Perhaps, we can find actors who are more suitable for this play?
Wu Cheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently, spread his hands and said, "I don't care, you can watch it!"
Then, the casting continues.
Wu Cheng originally wanted to leave early, but he felt that if he left like this, it is estimated that Director Howard would not be able to settle down.
In order for him to shoot with peace of mind, Wu Cheng had to waste a little time.
Moreover, looking at those strange watches, it is like carrying a stool to watch fun.
In the end of the casting, Tom Hanks was chosen, although this is a comedy, and Tom has only played a handful of comedies, but it cannot be said that he has no comedy talent.
is like the movie "Forrest Gump", which is actually a bit dramatic, and they also acted very well, and won the Oscar for Best Actor for a second time!
Therefore, Wu Cheng is not very worried about whether Tom can play "Fifty Times of First Love" well. In fact, the really funny thing about this play is not in the performance of the actors, but in the plot, in the setting of the heroine's intermittent amnesia.
Almost all the jokes are based on this foundation.
Of course, if you let an actor who is particularly talented in comedy play it, the effect may be better. However, Wu Cheng thinks that this actually doesn't matter, after all, Tom is still a newcomer, has little acting experience, and is relatively malleable.
In fact, he is more worried about whether Tom will turn back to comedy because of starring in this comedy, if he accidentally grows crooked because of this, it will be the real loss.
However, in order to perform a full set, they still prepared a few re-selection slots and continued to do the re-selection in a few days. In fact, Wu Cheng felt that there was no need for this at all.
Of course, it may also be that the company is trying to promote this drama again.
Anyway, Wu Cheng didn't bother with it after the primary election.
……
In mid-July, the music company Jinlong Records in North America, Jackson's solo album was finally on sale. This album is his first solo album, and there are three songs in it, which were written to him by Wu Cheng. In fact, Wu Cheng just took his song and 'returned' it to him.
Even so, others don't know about it. That's one of the more disgusting aspects of the traversal. It's just that the person concerned doesn't know it.
One of these three songs was won by Jackson at the beginning!
Therefore, Wu Cheng is not worried about Jackson's album at all.
However, it is still necessary to make a phone call to congratulate you. This is a super cash cow, and it has to be enveloped so that it will not be dug up by others when it is obtained.
Although this possibility is actually not very high, after all, Jinlong Records gave him an extra ten points of share, and the share of these ten points alone is not less.
In comparison, the extra ten points are on the same level as those first-line white singers. It's not just a question of money, it's also a matter of dignity.
In Wu Cheng's view, in fact, every black person has a glass heart.
In addition, the head of the company and the producer of Jackson's album, Wu Cheng also gave him a three-point stake. In this regard, Wu Cheng is very willing.
After all, this person is not only a music producer, but also has to manage the company for him!
As for the record company in North America named 'Jinlong', but did not integrate it with Xiangjiang's Fenglong records, Wu Cheng actually considered more about the music styles on both sides.
In this period, the music of Xiangjiang was more likely to imitate the music styles of Europe and the United States and Japan Island, and in terms of the maturity of music, Xiangjiang was still not comparable to Europe and the United States.
If the music company in Xiangjiang is allowed to lead the music company in North America, it will obviously cause some trouble, and when the time comes, it will be troublesome.
And the music company in North America has just been established, if the music company on the Xiangjiang side is integrated, it is estimated that the two Buddhas on the Xiangjiang side will not be happy.
is a good leader, and suddenly becomes someone else's subordinate, who wants to!
Therefore, it is best to simply divide into two companies, and no one can interfere with the other.
Of course, there must be cooperation between the two sides.
After all, the two companies are the same boss, the singer of Fenglong Records, and when they release a new album, they can take advantage of the sales channels of Jinlong Records to distribute them globally.
However, the audience of singers in Xiangjiang is still too small, and most of the people who can listen to Chinese songs are also some overseas Chinese, and there are still relatively few listeners from Europe and the United States.
Not to mention Cantonese songs with a smaller audience.
Singers from North America can also release their records to Southeast Asia through the record companies on the Guò side of Xiangjiang. However, in comparison, the audience of English songs is definitely much larger than that of Chinese songs. In addition to the problem of pirated ~ versions, in this regard alone, the advantages of English songs are not small.
……
As for the other cash cow of 'Jinlong', he is now working hard to write songs at home.
Wu Cheng promised her that she would write ten songs, and three of them could be used to release an album, could she not work harder?
Watching Deng Lijun work hard to lose weight and prepare a new album, she couldn't sit still.
