The reason why the "Matrix" viewing glass arrangement was so hasty this time was also because Warner was not optimistic about the "Matrix" project at the beginning, and only approved a budget of 10 million US dollars.

So the directors of the Wachowski brothers gritted their teeth, spent all the 10 million in the first ten minutes of the movie, and then continued to lobby Warner executives with the sample film, and finally persuaded Warner executives to raise the budget to 80 million US dollars.

Therefore, "The Matrix" is inconspicuous in the script stage, and many Hollywood stars either can't schedule it, or don't read the script, so that they miss the opportunity to see the mirror.

This is indeed a great opportunity for Edward.

This time, the location of the sight was arranged in Warner's old production, which was also an important scene for the filming of the movie.

Edward was the first to look in the mirror, and waited patiently an hour earlier.

As soon as Edward entered the room, he saw Joe Silver, the producer in charge of the glasses, and the Wachowski brothers, the directors.

The current Wachowski brothers are still "brothers", and then the elder brother first changed sex and became the "Wachowski sisters and brothers", and then the younger brother also changed sex, and finally became the "Wachowski sisters".

When Edward's expression was grim, he walked into the mirror room wearing a newly customized black glossy trench coat and ultra-narrow sunglasses.

"Hi, Dear Joe Silvo Producers, Larry Wachowski and Andy Wachowski, Hello Directors, I'm the Savior 'Neo'!"

Both Wachowski brothers were stunned, and Larry Wachowski, the older of the Wachowski brothers, said directly.

"Yes, that's what it feels like, this is the actor we want!"

Andy Wachowski, the younger brother next to him, also nodded frequently.

"Well, yes, it's still the first one, no hurry!"

"This is a good dress, let's take it and try it!"

Although it is the Wachowski brothers, the producer Joe Silverie represents Warner's top management, and can be regarded as the absolute leader of the sight glasses this time.

Joe Silvo, as a producer for many years, has his own thinking, the actor's acting skills and understanding of the role can only be regarded as one aspect, more from the commercial aspect, from the box office appeal to consider the candidate for the leading actor.

If you look at all the acting skills, the teachers of the acting department of the film school can become stars and win the Oscar.

In fact, Joe Silverie has a congenital rejection of actors like Edward who "go through the back door", why do so many good actors have no chance?

It's just a small character who has just emerged, and he wants to reach the sky in one step!

"Edward Fulong, try this show again, and Larry will cooperate with you. ”

So, producer Joe Silverie pointed to a dialogue in the script.

"Okay, give me 10 seconds to prepare. ”

"Here it begins, Eduard Furlong. ”

"Do you believe in fate?"

Larry said to the script that it looked a little funny.

"Don't believe it!"

According to the plot of the play, Edward thought a little and said in the affirmative.

"Why don't you believe it?"

Larry's expression hasn't changed at all, and he is not a professional actor.

"The so-called fate refers to the involuntary self-control, and I don't like this concept. ”

Edward's expression was condensed, and his hands were secretly straining, and he said more affirmatively.

Just as he was about to continue the following performance, producer Joe Silvo interrupted Edward in the mirror.

"OK, very good! Edward Furlong, it seems that you are well prepared and understand the role in place, we will think about it again and call you back when the time comes!"

Although it is a tender point, the acting skills are quite good, and the producer Joe Silverie is quite satisfied, and he has changed a lot of opinions about Edward, and it seems that he has put a lot of effort into it.

"By the way, Eddie, can I call you that, if you succeed in the mirror, because of some of your previous circumstances, there will be an actor agreement in advance, you know, we don't like anything unpleasant. ”

For an actor with a "criminal record" like Edward, Joe Sylvo is still more cautious.

"Yes, no problem, sir!"

Edward replied cheerfully.

It doesn't matter if I sign an actor agreement in advance, anyway, I won't try the old "Edward Fulong" anymore, and Ken won't do those "bad things" anymore.

Edward was overjoyed by such an obvious hint.

“yes！”

Walking out of the audition room, Edward breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand vigorously, and turned the corner of the hallway, where he found a white man with a strange hairstyle, coming towards him.

The two passed by, and neither spoke.

Of course he knows who this white actor is, the famous "Captain Jack" Johnny Depp in his previous life, no matter how dazzling Johnny Depp is in the future, but now he is only an alternative actor in Hollywood, and he can only be regarded as a second-tier star.

I didn't expect Johnny Depp to look at this kind of role very well, and now the two are still rivals.

It seems that the real competitive pressure on Edward this time is: Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves.

Keanu Reeves, in particular, is the real male protagonist of "The Matrix".

Keanu Reeves rose to fame with "Life and Death," and his innate elegance quickly made him an idol in the United States and other parts of Asia.

Even in the past few years, staying away from mainstream Hollywood movies still can't weaken his status in Hollywood.

Although he has a relationship with William, the CAA, but the mirror is his own business after all, especially when it comes to a big-budget movie with an investment of nearly 100 million dollars, the unspoken rules will not work here.

After the sight glasses ended, Edward waited patiently while the other side was also experiencing a heated argument.

"The three actors are all good, they are very promising, and it is indeed a bit difficult to do!"

"I think Edward Furlong can, has acting skills, understands the role very well, is a rookie actor, and the salary is very cheap!"

"No, a bad boy like Edward Fulong, who knows if he will do it again in the future, we can't afford this kind of loss, even if it's a little possible!"

"I think Johnny Depp is okay, he hasn't had any good works lately, and I believe his salary is not very expensive!"

"Johnny Depp can't, his gothic style, I don't think many people will watch it, unless we want to make a non-mainstream movie!"

"Keanu Reeves, if he has box office appeal, it's okay, but the salary is too expensive! With his current value, at least $10 million, if we have to make the last two, it will be even bigger!"

"Hey, this doesn't work, that doesn't work!

It's producer Joe Silvo's cell phone ringing.

"Hey... Be... I'm Joe Silvo..."

“… No problem... Good... You can rest assured..."

Putting down the phone, Joe Silvo said to the Wachowski brothers.

"Hey guys, the problem is solved, the hero of The Matrix is Keanu Reeves!"
