Chapter 11 Tear Ratio
Of course, the little girl Oliver, who is the cause of the story, is played by Lindsay, and the roles of dad and mom are played by Jeremy and Amy Adams. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The remaining addict grandfather, the suicide uncle, and the silent oath brother will need to audition for the actor.
Although this is only a small-budget film with a cost of 8 million US dollars, and the director deliberately keeps it secret and is not well-known, it is also a rare opportunity for many new actors and supporting actors to star in feature films, and Fire Lion is a regular film company after all, so after the newspaper audition notice was published, there are still many potential stars who have come.
But for the sake of secrecy, Sid did not advertise in the industry's real professional newspaper Variety, nor did he recruit through Ali (Emmanuel). And this is all for the utmost secrecy of Jeremy and Amy Adams' identities, after all, before the release of "Ghost Record", they were both "dead people".
There was a knock at the door of "Dengden ......", Sid and Henry looked up, it was Henry's assistant, and he said, "Boss, he's coming." ”
Then an old gentleman with a gray beard walked in.
As soon as he saw him, Sid stood up with a smile and said, "Hello, Sir McKellen. It's an honor to meet you, I'm Sid, the writer and director of Little Miss Sunshine. ”
Although the old man was surprised by Sid's youth, he still pressed the question in his heart, smiled and shook hands with everyone one by one, "It's nice to meet you, just call me Ian." ”
Sir Ian McLean!
Dried tofu in "The Lord of the Rings", Magneto in "X-Men". A British national treasure actor, he is also Sid's favorite veteran actor.
So when thinking about the old naughty grandfather who took drugs and scolded angrily while pampering his little granddaughter in "Little Sunshine Beauty", Sid immediately thought of Old Man Ian.
After asking Ali (Emmanuel) to use his connections to contact the old man in the UK, the old man, who just starred in Lionsgate's "Gods and the Beast" last year, originally did not want to take on Hollywood movies for the time being.
But Sid sent the script through Ali, and after reading the script, the old man was immediately moved by the excellent story, and said on the spot that he would act without pay.
So the crew invited the old man from the UK back to the United States.
"I heard you like the script of Little Sunshine Beauty?" asked Sid as everyone sat down.
"Yes, great script, plain to the truth, I haven't seen such a great script in a long time, you wrote great Sid. Old man Ian said sincerely.
"It means a lot to me to be praised by an old actor like you. Sid also smiled and thanked the old man for his kindness.
After this kind opening, the scene was mainly greeted and exchanged by Sid and Ian Lao.
"I'm definitely not worried about your acting, but there's one thing I want to ask. Sid said.
"Excuse me. Old man Ian raised his hand.
"Because this grandfather's character is an American, So...... Do you speak American English?" Sid asked with a smile.
Because the films that Sid watched in later generations were all blockbusters such as "The Lord of the Rings" and "X-Men", he didn't pay attention to the old man's accent problem at all.
"Sid, you're only sixteen, and I'll give you a piece of advice. Suddenly, Mr. Ian became fluent in American English and said the lines from the script, "More women, especially those young chicks, the younger the better." ”
"Think about it, you're sixteen, they're sixteen, you're a perfect match! If you wait until you're eighteen and then you go to them, Bang! That's three to five years in prison. You know......" Old man Ian stretched out his fingers and blinked slyly, as if possessed by an old urchin.
"Great!" Sid couldn't help but applaud after watching the master's performance up close, and everyone applauded in tribute to the old man with superb acting skills.
Sid and Mr. Ian Next, they talked about the positioning and views of the film, and finally Sid gave the videotapes suppressed by three short films such as "Curfew" to Mr. Ian.
"These are the three short films I just finished, and I hope you can give me some advice after watching them, but, by the way, please don't circulate them or show them to others. Because we're still going to take it to the second half of the awards season. Sid explained.
"That's fine. Old man Ian nodded.
After seeing off Old Man Ian, Henry looked at his watch, "Boss, it's almost 12 o'clock, and the audition for the role of my brother will start at 2 o'clock in the afternoon." ”
"Alright then, let's go eat and rest. We met at 1:30 p.m. Sid nodded.
Sid then leaves the company and goes to a nearby family restaurant for lunch. After he finished his lunch, he took a break, and as he rested, he looked at the empty city in the distance. I can't help but think that the office of Fire Lion Pictures is the office of the original dazzling entertainment company in Monterey Park, East Los Angeles.
It's a far cry from the Hollywood Center in West Los Angeles and a far cry from Lionsgate in Santa Monica Beach. But after opening up the situation, it must be moving the company to the real center of Hollywood, Century City, Sid thought secretly.
It wasn't until nearly half past one that Sid hurried back. When he returned to the company, he was surprised to find that the company's parking lot was already full of most of the cars, which seemed to be the cars of the auditioners.
Sid walked into the company, and the front desk lady hurriedly said, "Boss, everyone is almost here, Henry, they are already waiting inside." ”
"Okay. Sid nodded and walked to the reception room for the audition, only to see that there were more than 20 people sitting inside, all of whom were young actors. Seeing Sid come in, many people looked up at him, and then lowered their heads again.
Looking at the young actors with different appearances, Sid couldn't help but think of what Leonardo's little plum once said, "We stood there in a row, let the producers choose, and after a quick look, they chose a blonde boy." Others are sent away without explanation, and we are like a row of meat, picked without emotion. I almost didn't want to be an actor anymore that day. ”
"It's good that I'm not an actor. Sid shrugged his shoulders and complained in his heart. Then he stepped on the beat of rejuvenation, walked to the audition room, and was about to open the door to enter, when a voice rudely interrupted him.
"Hey, you haven't started the audition yet. A dark-haired young man walking on a chair in the waiting room said rather unceremoniously.
"Uh...... Are you talking to me?" Sid was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the other party was calling himself.
But it's also quite funny, Sid is 16 or 7 years old, which is just right for the audition. And his handsome and sunny aura can be seen from a few streets away, and it is not surprising that the candidates present regard him as an auditioning actor.
"Of course I'm talking to you, why are you so ignorant of the rules?" the young man said with a swaggering demeanor, Sid hadn't met such a bully in a long time.
Because those who generally do this are either the darlings of the times who are unrivaled for a while, or the popular fried chicken that has become famous.
Sid looked at the other party with interesting eyes, in fact, when the other party stopped him, Sid had already recognized the other party - Jack Gyllenhaal!
Later, with "The Day After Tomorrow", "Source Code" and "Love and Elixir", the new generation of male stars who have a place in Hollywood, although they are far from being top-notch.
Seeing Sid's nonchalant expression, Jake Gyllenhaal shouted unhappily: "Are you here to make trouble? If you don't know the rules, don't make trouble, we still have people to audition!"
Jack Gyllenhaal's drink caused everyone in the reception room to raise their heads, some frowning and bothering how someone was making trouble, while others showed a good look on their faces, looking back and forth at Sid and Jake Gyllenhaal.
Sid was about to open his mouth to mock the self-conscious kid on the other side, when a figure suddenly interjected: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, why are you here now, waiting for me to die." So saying, the man took Sid and walked to the corner of the room.
Jake Gyllenhaal glared at the man, "Chris, do you know this guy?"
The short brown-haired young man named Chris nodded and smiled, "Yes, for my sake, forget it, Jack." ”
"You tell this kid to be careful. Jake Gyllenhaal waved his hand, and the young man named Chris pulled Sid into the corner.
As soon as he sat down, he eagerly counted Sid: "You're too careless, don't be too public, don't be too public, don't you know who that guy is?"
Sid forced a smile and pretended not to know, "Who is he?"
"That's Jake Gyllenhaal, and his family is a family of movies. A blonde boy next to him said in a teasing tone.
Sid turned his head and said, "Yo, an acquaintance, too, "Did you perform in the Mickey Mouse Club?" asked Sid, tilting his head.
"Of course, I'm Ryan Gosling. Ryan Gosling, who came to be known as "High Commander", couldn't help but get excited when he heard Sid talk about his glorious history.
"Alright, be quiet. Otherwise, we're going to ...... over there," Chris pointed in the direction of Jake Gyllenhaal, and the three of them whispered.
"I'm Chris Pine, are you?" asked Chris holding out his hand.
Sid then looked at this young man named Chris, under his very handsome face, there were a pair of sky-blue eyes, very sunny. But alas, there is nothing special. And this is almost a fatal wound for actors, look at those actors and stars who have gone through the big waves and sands, and the remaining actors and stars all have their own unique characteristic temperament.
