"Yes, then you have to look, William, you still have a hand hidden." Edward said helplessly.

This old gangster, I didn't expect that after falling in love, my mentality was younger, and I still like to play this set.

"I know you kid is not interested in those who dare not, you look at this "Pearl Harbor", gold medal producer Jerry. Bruckheimer, directed by Michael Bay, but the shooting budget alone is $140 million.

The producer saw your wonderful performance in "The Genius Ripley", and I hope that you, Matt. Damon and Gwyneth. Paltrow co-starred, but you're still the second male lead.

But this kind of big-budget movie can definitely increase your worth, and this time the salary can start at least $2 million. ”

William said with a smile, not noticing that Edward's face was getting more and more ugly.

Why did all the street movies let William touch it.

And there is also a director who has always been quite confusing, Michael. Seashell.

When it comes to selling copies, it is: boom, boom, boom.

is equivalent to "Wang Jing" in the United States, a commercial film director in the real sense, and all his films leak a copper smell.

Let's say that he has no achievements, but the business masterpieces are famous and the ministries are blockbusters;

Let's say that he disdains literary films, but people like to run to "Pearl Harbor" to play love tricks and let the audience drop a few drops of cat urine...

At that time, "Pearl Harbor" was born with the afterglow of "Titanic", and the investment at that time was 200 million, which was the largest at that time

It's a pity that this huge cup was criticized a lot of bad reviews at the beginning of its release, and the lengthy complex and childish love triangle have become the culprits of criticism.

Although the final half-hour of land, sea and air battles feasted the audience's eyes, it could not prevent him from becoming a relatively huge Waterloo masterpiece......

But the theme song "There You'll Be" sings a thousand turns and touches people's hearts...

The momentum is no less than that of Celine back then. Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" can be said to be a classic in the original soundtrack of the movie.

But Disney isn't here to spend nearly $200 million on songs that you promote.

This "Pearl Harbor", which is said to surpass the box office of "Titanic", did not even have a fraction of "Titanic" at the box office in the end.

Although it can still reach 300 million, it is estimated that it is far from the expectations of film companies.

Michael. Bei should definitely "escape from Clone Island", "Pearl Harbor" is still passable,

Clone Island can basically lose all its money, if it weren't for the later "Transformers", it is estimated that Lord Belle would be buried...

……

"Hey William, I don't think I'm suitable for this kind of love war movie, let's wait for the news of "The Lord of the Rings"."

Edward directly interrupted, and William, who was still talking.

was interrupted, William really didn't speak, but wondered if this thought: Is this movie going to hit the street again... It can't be... This is the gold medal producer Jerry. Bruckheimer!

Now William has to admire Edward's vision for film selection, the failure of two consecutive films of "Earth Battlefield" and "Hurricane Warriors", and the success of "The Matrix" now, successfully proves that Edward does have a hand in film selection.

To be honest, William really can't see any success factors for "The Lord of the Rings", this movie is more difficult to deliver, and the total investment in "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" is only 270 million US dollars, just this money, how can such a grand theme be filmed?

In fact, it is not to blame William for thinking so, most Hollywood companies are not optimistic about this movie.

First, the risk is too great, and the subject background is too grand, which means that the budget is also very large, and no company can come up with so much money at once, even if there is no money for the first two films;

The second is that it does not match mainstream movies, there are many characters in it, and there is no absolute hero and heroine at all.

In particular, the "Big Six" film companies will not invest in such non-mainstream films at all, and it is said that a big production company like Warner,

There is a 7-member investment film project committee, and each film is officially approved, and finally it must pass the review of this committee.

Everyone repeats the work of the machine, and each movie is like a product on an assembly line.

The first person, just checking the number of pages, generates the number of pages of the script according to its software, and a few pages is a few minutes.

Meaning, if there are 90 pages, the resulting movie will be 90 minutes; If there are 120 pages, that's 120 minutes. It's very exciting!

The second person, just check the number of pages where the hero and heroine appear, must ensure that the number of pages where the hero and heroine appear accounts for 75%, or more than 70%.

Because mainstream movies, it is necessary to ensure that the shots of the male and female protagonists are more than 70%.

……

Therefore, a non-mainstream movie with multiple protagonists like "The Lord of the Rings" will not pass at all.

Luckily, in the end, Peter. Jackson. Jackson has finally found the owner of the New Line Company, who is also a fellow Lord of the Rings.

You must know that New Line Film Company is a subsidiary of Warner, and only this kind of second-tier film company will produce this kind of movie.

Fortunately, during this time, with Britney by her side, she was able to have a good time with Edward.

Britney, who was "an instant hit", is really red and purple now, and the record company will definitely not let go of this opportunity to make money, and is ready to join hands with a number of well-known producers to launch Britney's second album while it is hot.

Some time ago, Britney was busy promoting the movie, and Edward was also busy filming a new movie, and the two basically got together less and left more, all of them fought fiercely for hundreds of rounds.

There is no ploughed land, only tired cows!

These few days have indeed exhausted Edward.

Behind every goddess that makes you fascinated, there is a man who her and vomits!

Fortunately, the audition for "The Lord of the Rings" didn't make Edward wait long before there was news.

The new line organized a huge audition event for the high-profile film, and Peter Murphy. Jackson. Jackson will be filming three films in a row, which is obviously a first, so there are quite a few roles that need to be confirmed.

By the time Edward and William arrived at the New Line, there were already a lot of people on the scene.

If there are at least three or four people competing for a role, then this audition involving more than a dozen roles will have almost hundreds of people present.

Although the new line has developed well in recent years, it is only an independent studio with a limited scale, so everything will inevitably be messy.

When Edward walked to the actor's dressing room, he happened to see Orlando. Bloom, he's waiting for makeup, and that's where "Farami" is done.

Of course, Edward knew the story, and in fact Orlando auditioned for the role of "Faramir", but later Peter was the only one who auditioned. Jackson gave "Faramir" to another, bigger relation,

That's why "Legolas" was given to Orlando, but no one would have thought that the elven prince would be so surprisingly loved, and who is the actor of "Faramir"? Who knows!

This time Edward was not for the role of "Legolas", but for the audition of the human emperor "Aragorn".

This is the character that Edward likes to challenge, a self-exiled, lonely ranger, the heir to the throne.

The human emperor "Aragorn" can be regarded as the first actor in "The Lord of the Rings", so the competition is fiercer than all the characters.

For Edward, such a well-known actor, the new line also arranged a fitting room separately.

In the fitting room, Edward saw an older female makeup artist and walked over and said.

"Hello, I'm an auditioner for "Aragorn", please set my makeup. ”

"Okay, young man, sit down first, and good luck."

"Uh, thank you very much!"

Edward was very obedient and sat down in his chair.

It's when the makeup artist is about to clean up, Edward is indeed a little tired of "" these days, and the makeup artist has not finished cleaning up, so he falls asleep in a daze.

At this time, the female makeup artist who was going to put on Edward's makeup called, and she seemed to be in a hurry.

So, the female makeup artist hurriedly called a bewitching male makeup artist.

"Pete, I have something to do, go out first, you help this actor with makeup, thank you."

"Well, don't forget, bring me a cup of coffee when you come back!" This bewitching male makeup artist also said to the girls.

"Okay, I've got everything ready... It is the makeup of the emperor. The female makeup artist hurriedly ran away before she finished speaking.

"Hey, what kind of makeup..."

Leaving a male makeup artist, it's not clear what makeup I'm going to put on.

But the bewitching makeup artist, looking at Edward's handsome appearance in his sleep, thought with a smile, do you still need to ask this, look at me.

So, the bewitching makeup artist directly began to put on his makeup, and as the makeup gradually became complete, he had a small unearthly smile on his face.

"Hi buddy, wake up, your makeup is ready" The glamorous makeup artist named Pete woke up Edward from his sleep.

"Yes, thank you." Edward, who had just woken up, replied dimly.

I didn't notice that the makeup artist had been replaced.

"My name is Pete, then I'll take you to change your clothes, and then audition directly, this is my best work, if you fail, I will be sad."

Petra walked out with Edward in his arms, and did not forget to praise himself.

It wasn't until he got "Legolas's" hair and clothes that Edward realized something was wrong.

"Pete, no, I auditioned for the role of the Human Emperor, not the Elf Prince!"

"No, you get dressed first, you're the best fit for the role."

"No, you don't understand, I like it—" Before Edward could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Pete.

"Eddie, can I call you that, are we friends, you are my work now, let me show myself a chance.

You audition for "Legolas" first,

And then you "Aragon",

How nice it is that you have two more chances! ”

Big brother, we just met, okay! However, seeing the sincere feelings that leaked from this bewitching man's eyes, Edward also relented.

"Well, then I'll audition for Legolas first," Edward said.

Anyway, there is no rule, you can only audition for one role; Besides, it's just the first attempt, so if you can't do it, you can give up then.

"Thank you, buddy, if you become a big star, I will definitely be a makeup artist for you." Pete said happily.

If I were a big star, I'd still use you as a glamorous makeup artist there, and I'll be bent again when the time comes.

So Edward took Legolas' hair and clothes and changed them with Pete's help.

Edward, who completely completed the look, made Pete's eyes shine.

"Isn't that Legolas? Pete also said with a slight smugness.

Led by Pete, Edward walked into the audition room, his face facing the light.

A soft light spread on his delicate countenance, his eyes were deep and charming, his blonde hair flowed, and his posture was as tall as a tree.

"Oh!"

He even heard someone whispering an exclamation.

"Hello, I'm Edward. Fulong. ”

"Huh?" The three men sat on the interview table, and the man on the far left flipped through the documents below, but did not see Edward's information.

Of course, it is impossible to see that his information is in the pile of "Aragon", "Edward. Fulong, huh? Are you here to interview for the role of "Legolas"? ”

"Uh, I'm sorry, I was going to audition for "Aragorn", but when I was putting on makeup, I fell asleep, and I changed to a makeup artist who didn't know, so he gave me "Legolas" makeup and styling. ”

Edward still told the truth and explained.

With the help of others, the man on the left finds Edward from the materials of "Aragorn".

"There must be a confusion," said the man to the man in the middle, "but Peter. Jackson, he's so much like "Legolas". ”

Thanks to his hearing, Edward heard Peter clearly. Two words Jackson.

The one in the middle is really Peter. Jackson, now Peter. Jackson wasn't a big fat guy yet, so no wonder I didn't recognize it.

God, didn't you say that the assistant director and the casting director auditioned, why Peter. Jackson was there too.

Peter. Jackson nodded, flipped through his materials, and smiled seemingly satisfied,

"You're Edward. Fulong, I know you, I've seen your films, are you going to audition for The Lord of the Rings? ”

Peter. Jackson came to the interview this time, mainly to give these small roles at one time, and it is estimated that there will be two or three rounds of those main roles, and then it will be better to concentrate on deciding them.

Peter. Jackson is not like the casting director next to him, of course he knows that this young actor with a little fame and outstanding acting skills, especially the now released "Talented Ripley" also gives Edward good points.

"Yes, I'm a Lord of the Rings fan and love starring in my own novels."

Actually, Peter. Jackson likes a powerful young actor like Edward very much, but he is still a little surprised.

"Then you can look directly at the character of "Aragorn". "Peter. Jackson, as the director and producer of the film, is definitely the decision-maker of the film.

"Here, now? Don't you need to change your outfit? ”

"Well, no, you can just perform."

So, Edward wore the shape of "Legolas" and played a scene of "Aragorn", and deliberately added some action.

"Yes, Edward, will you make a move?"

"It's just a little bit, I have some Chinese ancestry, and I was interested in Chinese kung fu when I was a child." Edward said with a little pride.

"Okay, Edward, thank you, I said it directly, but this time our film has a limited budget and a limited salary."

"It doesn't matter, the salary is still negotiated by my agent, as long as it is appropriate."

"OK, OK, okay, Legolas, oh no, Edward, Edward. Fulong, thank you for coming, and as for that character, we'll get back to you. ”

"Thank you."

Edward turned and walked out, always feeling awkward, and he didn't know that he was going to audition for that role again.
