They immediately ran over and said, "Hello, Mr. Leon, what's the matter?"

"Is there anything else Britney usually does besides the song-related things?" asked Sid. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The three of them looked at each other, and finally Frisia mustered up the courage to ask, "What kind of thing are you talking about?"

"I remember Britney graduating from high school in her hometown in Kentucky and going back to New York and Los Angeles, right?" asked Sid.

The three of them nodded again and again: "Yes." ”

"In other words, Britney Spears didn't even go to high school?" Sid raised his eyebrows in surprise, no wonder this Nizi was targeted by the whole circle later, this IQ problem needs to be solved urgently.

"Uh, yes. The three nodded.

"So be it, you. Sid pointed to one of the male agents in charge of Britney's business liaison, "Find Britney a top tutor, the kind that is really experienced." ”

Sid's words surprised several people present, whether it is the record industry or the film industry, they actually don't care about the education of stars. Or rather, if it is a highly educated person, most of them can't play in the entertainment industry.

This is both an experience problem and a behind-the-scenes operational problem. But in the end, it is an established fact that stars in the entertainment industry do not need a high degree of education.

"Is it the kind of tutor with academic qualifications?" asked the male agent.

"It doesn't matter whether you give a certificate of academic qualifications or not, what matters is that you need this person who really understands education. You went to college, didn't you?" asked Sid.

The male agent nodded a little arrogantly, "I graduated from Yale University." ”

"Oh, Ivy, yes. Sid smiled and said, "Then what do you think is the most important thing you learned in college?"

"Uh...... , mastery of business models. The male agent said confidently.

"Wrong!" Sid flatly denied, "the most important thing is the ability to think independently! If you can't think independently, and you can't make responsible judgments and actions, then no knowledge can create value." ”

Sid's words suddenly made several people around him fall into thought, and Sid continued: "So what I want is a human-level educator who can teach Britney Spears knowledge and more importantly thinking in a way that is tailored to her aptitude. Can you find it?"

The male agent thought for a moment, "I'll give it a try." ”

"Britney is not a test subject. Sid's sneering expression looked a little scary, and several of the subordinates present were shocked, "Well, you better tell Ali (Emmanuel) about this directly, he must have a way." ”

After settling the matter, Justin Lin walked over: "Boss, he's here. ”

Sid nodded, and Barry Weiss and several other agents immediately dispersed.

Then Sid turned his head to look at the door, and two figures approached, one of them was tall, but he was extremely handsome, and his slightly curly brown hair was a little long, but it was perfect for him. To put it simply, this person is just one word "handsome!", and he is also the kind of otherworldly handsome.

"Hello. Sid stood up, smiled and offered to say hello.

"Hello, Mr. Leon. I'm Orlando Bloom. "An exotic handsome guy from England with an authentic London accent, although it is still a tender little fresh meat. But Orlando Bloom is already starting to show his aura.

But Sid frowned slightly, and seeing his expression, another middle-aged man on the side asked, "Is there any problem?" Mr. Leon. By the way, I'm Orlando's agent, Alan Casey Sean. ”

"Mr. Bloom, do you speak American English?" asked Sid, and indeed if a character like a vampire could be said to have a British accent. So the zombies that tend to be civilian, they must have a standard American voice, otherwise the audience will show you every minute.

"Well, I'm sorry, I haven't really practiced with an American accent. Orlando Bloom said apologetically.

Sid touched his chin, if you say that characters like vampires are still in a British accent, it can be said to be full of ancient rhyme. So zombies, a monster that tends to be civilian, would be too weird if they also spoke in a London accent. What's more, our movies are still the background of the future era.

"Then if the audition is OK, can we use other actors and dub you later?" asked Sid, because it also belongs to the actor's autonomy in changing the actor's voice, and the American imperialist side has legal protection, and it cannot be changed unless the actor himself agrees.

Orlando and his agent exchanged glances, then nodded: "If the character requires an American accent, it's not impossible to find another actor to dub it, but I think I have the right to finalize the effect of the role." ”

"That's fine. Sid nodded.

After searching through all the lists of handsome guys in his head, Sid finally found only one future elf prince, and Orlando Bloom was really suitable to play the zombie handsome guy R. So after using the connections of Ian McLean, a respected and national treasure actor in the British entertainment industry.

Sid got Orlando Bloom out of the drama school, and luckily for him, August and September were supposed to be school holidays. So Orlando happily agreed to come to the United States after assembling with his agent.

As for Old Man Ian, he wondered how Sid knew about Orlando, a student who was still in school. Sid directly deduced that someone in the company had seen his stage play in London.

After solving the minor problem, the group moved to a vacant office next door.

"It's a script for auditions. Kevin Feige handed over the script, and Justin Lin set up a small DV setup, albeit as a makeshift audition venue. But Sid's small team managed to do it quickly.

Their efficient methods were secretly shocked to see the British from Orlando and his agent.

"Ours is a love story about zombies and humans, and you, Orlando, are the zombie protagonists. Sid's words were intrigued by Orlando.

"Zombie-human love?" Orlando asked, surprised.

"Not bad. Sid snapped his fingers, "So you're playing faltering and staccato most of the film, can you give it a try?" ”

And then the flowers, uh, no, it was Orlando who began to staggering to learn to be zombies. Although they have never played zombies, the United Kingdom, as a famous country with heavy taste, has always had a soft spot for monster movies such as zombie vampires, otherwise they would not have made such a heavy black humor film as "Shaun Zombies" later.

After correcting Orlando's movements and speech a few times, Sid taught Orlando step by step how to express the feeling of hard thinking, hard action, and hard talking.

In fact, at this point, it is no longer like an audition, but more like a role workshop. Sid directly told Orlando about his understanding of the character and the tips of acting.

And Orlando also relies on his experience in several schools and theaters to act, although it can't compare to those old drama bones, but it is more than enough to deal with an idol film.

"Yes, OK. That's all for today, Orlando, after you sign the contract, we will immediately go to Canada for on-location shooting, are you okay?" Sid said quickly after expressing his initial satisfaction.

"Then Mr. Leon, we haven't talked about Orlando's salary yet?"

"You can talk to my agent, Ali Emmanuel, who is the owner of Endeavour Elite Agency, you know how to find him, right?" asked Sid with a sly smile.

Regarding Orlando's entry into Hollywood, Sid had already greeted Ali (Emmanuel) in advance, and when he heard Sid's evaluation of Orlando no less than Matt Damon, he immediately ignited his fighting spirit. Presumably, this Allen, in a near future, will become a member of the Endeavor elite.

Sid shrugged, throwing the little things out of his mind and refocusing his attention on what's important.

On the weekend when Orlando Bloom's agent and Ali (Emmanuel) were in the game, Sid watched the filming of "BabyOneMoreTime" on the music video, as the song that influenced the European and American music industry for generations to come.

The scene doesn't seem to be very special, whether it is the person who shoots or acts, obviously they don't realize how much impact what they are doing now.

But that's where it gets interesting, Sid thought as he watched Britney dance.

――――――――――――――――――――

As Sid expected, on the last day of the weekend, the news came that Orlando Bloom had signed a contract with the crew for $50,000, and he also joined Endeavour Elite Agency with his agent Allen.

When the cast gathered, Sid immediately chartered a plane and took all the remaining crew members to Toronto.

"Okay, it's the first production meeting today, Vielle (Neil), how are you and the set crew doing with the set?" asked Sid.

"Because of the tight schedule, we set up the main airport and the interior of the plane in the studio, while for the exterior scenes, we had to shoot and build the next scene first. Vernelle said on behalf of the set and special effects makeup team.

"Henry, how's the extras recruited?" Sid asked, turning to Henry.

"We've already found everything according to the requirements, and because many of the characters are zombie group performances that require special effects makeup, and they don't appear at the same time as human group performances, we cut down some of the numbers and let them repeat the performance. This not only does not affect the shooting effect, but also reduces the cost. "Henry is worthy of being an old man, these methods are quite skilled, and Sid doesn't have much Cao heart.

"The logistical rest tents, food, RVs, etc., are no problem. Sid asked about logistics, although it seems that it has nothing to do with filming, but for a medium-sized team like "Warm Corpse" with an investment of tens of millions, the logistics problem is really related to the work performance of the crew and actors.
