Chapter 35: Casting
Nok Pictures issued an announcement in Hollywood, looking for role actors to play supporting roles in "Wall Street", and many people signed up on the second day.
On April 4th, the Flying Bird Film and Television audition room began to come alive, with directors Oliver and Dimes and others sitting on chairs, watching the actors who came to audition, looking for suitable actors for the roles in the play from their performances and temperament.
Tom Reed took the crew to Wall Street to find a filming location for the script of "Wall Street".
As a producer, Lester also has to follow Oliver and Deems to find the right actor for the role, but before coming, Lester found Diane Lynn to play the heroine Darien Taylor.
In the reception room, a 19-year-old girl with yellow hair sat on the sofa and read the script of "Wall Street", and when she saw the highlights, she showed a slight interest.
Her agent chatted with Emmanuel on the side, while Lester sipped his Starbucks coffee and waited for Diane Lynn's reply.
Although the girl in front of her has not won an award in later generations, she has been nominated for Best Actress six times and has been with her six times.
Diane Lynn finished reading the script of "Wall Street", put it in hand, looked up at Lester and said, "I promised to act." ”
Sign it then!
Lester pointed to the signing contract on the table;
The content of the contract in it, Diane Lynn's agent has already seen it, and bargained with Emmanuel to increase Diane Lynn's salary, and finally starred in it with a salary of $1 million.
Diane Lynn signed her name on the contract, and the heroine of the script was decided.
Seeing off Diane Lynn, Lester came out of the hallway of the audition room,
I saw a group of newcomers waiting outside for the assistant director to shout and let them go in to audition.
This reminded Lester of being on the set of "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2", waiting outside with them.
swept the waiting newcomers everywhere, and suddenly paused, and looked at the 24-year-old James Spade sitting in the remote seat in surprise, the 89-year-old Cannes International Film Festival actor, but unfortunately now he is just a rookie actor active on the movie screen.
If Lester remembers correctly, the supporting role in the original film seems to have James Spader, and I didn't expect to attract him.
As if stared at by Lester's overly straightforward gaze, James Spade turned his head suspiciously, and saw a Chinese-British teenager looking at him, nodded to Lester for some reason, and looked at the door of the audition room.
Retracting his gaze, Lester walked into the audition room without being stopped by the staff as he waited around for the auditioning actors.
Walking into the audition room, a rookie white-skinned actor was performing hard for Oliver and Deems to watch.
I walked straight to the seat with the producer's sign on it and sat down.
The actor, who was originally working hard to perform, suddenly saw a very young teenager sitting in the place of producer that had been vacant, and was slightly stunned.
It was this moment of stunned moment, Oliver frowned slightly, and said with a straight face; ”
As the second film of his directorial career, Oliver didn't want to hire people who weren't focused on acting.
When the young man heard Oliver's words, he looked at Leicester with a sad face, turned and walked out of the audition room.
Lester, who was resentful, couldn't cry or laugh, he was not attentive, and he was brushed down by Oliver, who is to blame.
The next ones are walking into one after another. There are eye-catching ones, and there are also performances that are blunt and can't be let go, and the good ones are written down by the assistant director one by one and let them go home and wait for the notice, and those who are not in their eyes are also told to go home and wait for the notice, euphemistically.
"Next... Swiping the next actor to audition again, Oliver shouted at the assistant director;
After a while, the assistant director walked in with James Spader, and saw Lester sitting in the producer's seat, a look of surprise flashed in James Spade's eyes, but he didn't expect that the person who was looking at him outside turned out to be the producer, and looked at Lester, and James Spade introduced himself by standing on their faces under the scrutinizing eyes of Dimes.
Olich's eyes lit up slightly, he felt that the young man's temperament was more in line with Roger Barnes in the script of "Wall Street", but he still kept his face unobtrusive, and instructed James Spader, who was standing in front of them, to play a greedy old man.
James Spade improvised Oliver's request, which made several people light up slightly, and at Oliver's request, James Sparrow expressed Oliver's improvisation.
"Let's go back and wait for the announcement."
Oliver told James Spaid to go back and wait for the announcement, and shouted to the assistant director next to him, "Next." ”
James Spade silently turned and walked outside, looked at Leicester as he left, and walked out of the audition room.
The last few were mediocre, Oliver told them to go home and wait for the notice, and after cleaning up, a group of people began a meeting to talk about the supporting roles in the "Wall Street" script and who would play them.
"The supporting role of Roger Barnes is played by James Spader. ”
Lester was still in the middle of a group of people and made a decision;
The boss spoke, and the Dimes group had no opinion, and Oliver agreed with Lester's words.
Who will play the rest of the supporting roles, Lester is not talking, but quietly listening to their choice, he can't be in a group of people, directly make all the decisions, this is a bit arbitrary, and he also needs his subordinates to make achievements.
The meeting lasted until 3 p.m., when all the roles for "Wall Street" were decided, and Dimes instructed the assistant director to go down and inform the rookie actors who had been selected.
Oliver went home with the script of "Wall Street" and thought about how to shoot it, and drew it out in a storyboard print.
The audition casting was completed, and the location of Townreid's scouting and filming was also completed, and he returned to Asuka Film and Television.
After listening to Townside's report, Lester instructed Dimes to do something, and then left Asuka Films and returned to the villa in Billy Buddha Village by car.
Walking into the villa, it was empty, because she had to go to school, Mokconi packed her clothes and moved to live near Harvard University before the start of the Harvard semester.
Lester ate casually, saw that it was still early, turned on the TV, and took the remote control to watch casually.
Hey!
The picture of the TV flashed in front of him, Lester took the remote control to change the channel, and was about to change the channel again, when a deformable robot entered Lester's sight and let Lester watch it.
