Chapter 107: Dilemma
The crowd of onlookers walked away, and the set gradually quieted down, and Tang Feng organized the actors to audition.
The actors of this movie were selected by Tang Feng himself, and the movies he makes now are all in his memory, so he doesn't need a casting director.
As long as he relies on his memory and the actors he can find now, he can match it reasonably.
For example, this time, the role of grandpa was chosen and chosen, and in the end, the original actor, Alan Akin, was decided.
At this time, Allen was only in his fifties, and he was in good health, but in order to play this role well, he also gladly accepted Tang Feng's suggestion and made himself an old man.
Not to mention, after makeup, Allen is almost the same as in the original.
Jim Carrey plays the role of an uncle, and because of his age, he is not suitable to play a middle-aged man now.
There was no way, Tang Feng specially changed the script and wrote his uncle as a graduate student who had just graduated.
Because he failed to study for a doctorate, coupled with the blow of falling out of love, he attempted suicide.
Brian's connections are still very light, so because of Tang's request, he specially called a friend in New York and found Kevin Spacey from the small theater.
Let him play the father of the little beauty Oliver, Tang Feng is still very relieved, even if he is not famous now, his acting skills are very good.
Although Allen is still a little worse than the old drama bones, it is more than enough to play this role.
Probably as a habit all along, Brian set their rates very low.
Jim Carrey is only $30,000, Spacey is slightly higher at $50,000, and the highest is the veteran actor Allen, whose salary is $80,000.
Naturally, the salaries of other actors are not high, and Angela, as the leading actor, is only $10,000, and Tang Feng has to take it on her behalf.
Damon, who plays the autistic brother, is also paid $10,000 like Angela, while Annie, who plays the mother, is $20,000.
Such a salary can be said to be the lowest price, but the actors gladly accepted it.
Damon naturally didn't have anything to say, he didn't expect that Tang Feng, who had always looked down on him, would let him play this role.
And until now, Kerry has not been on the big screen.
What I value more is this opportunity, and I don't have any idea about the salary yet.
Although the salary is a little lower, it is enough to make him excited to realize his dream of appearing on the big screen.
What's more, he has already heard about Tang Feng, so he naturally knows what it means to be able to appear in this movie.
Basically as he thought, Spacey was rehearsing a play, and after receiving a call from Brian, he rushed to Los Angeles without asking for his salary.
Allen, who became famous in his early years, is not an ordinary person, this former Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor, just after reading the script, he decided to play the role of grandpa.
He even quit another role for this role!
Of course, in the short exchange, he did not shy away from saying his thoughts.
He just wants to use this wonderful role to make a comeback and fight again!
Although there is a big difference in age, he doesn't have any shelf, and he chatted a lot about movies with Tang Feng, and also expressed his opinions on his affairs.
He felt that Tang Feng's challenge in public seemed a little irrational on the surface, and it would also make people feel young and frivolous.
But in fact, it is a very clever approach, which not only attracts everyone's attention, but also pushes the giants into a corner.
Regardless of whether they should fight or not, they have to arrange a schedule for "Little Sunshine Beauty", otherwise they will be sure of their domineering and invincible.
What makes Tang Feng feel a little strange is that, according to Allen, almost all the film and television circles are talking about it, and there are also many media involved.
In the past week, there has been news about it every day, whether it is in newspapers and magazines, or some debate programs.
Tang Feng couldn't understand why he was so popular all of a sudden.
But he didn't think much about it, "After more than a week of arguing, maybe this matter has become a household name." ”
"These media, it is estimated that it is precisely because they see the selling point that they will report one after another. ”
"Regardless of them, I just need to make my movie......"
At this time, he didn't realize that quietly, a conspiracy against him had been quietly carried out.
......
After the last audition, Tang Feng decided to officially start filming.
In order to get acquainted with the actors who got together in a hurry as soon as possible, he decided to shoot a group of scenes of a family eating first.
Although there is a certain degree of difficulty, as long as it is properly coordinated, it should not be difficult.
The first audition was not bad, and the actors worked hard to interpret their roles.
To his surprise, Angela performed very well, not at all like a novice who had only undergone two months of simple training.
Since watching "The Oprah Show", Tang Feng has hired a professional teacher for Angela and will teach her to perform every night.
suddenly became the heroine, Angela was not only moved and happy, but also didn't want to embarrass Tang Feng, so she practiced very seriously.
Now it seems that the effect is still very good, at least she looks like that now.
In such a scene, there is no stage fright at all, which is the biggest surprise.
Although the performance is a little immature, what more can he ask for for a 12-year-old child, as long as he shows her cuteness, it is enough.
Seeing that the audition effect was not bad, Tang Feng was ready to strike while the iron was hot, so he wanted to try it for real.
Anyway, he doesn't have to worry about the film now, it's all his own company's stuff, he can use it however he wants, and it doesn't matter if he wastes a little bit on it.
After bowing his head and pondering for a while, he clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, very good, I'm very satisfied with the effect of the audition, let's shoot it this time!"
With that, he instructed Affleck, "Put the camera in the corner of the wall and fix it there as a secondary lens." ”
"Yanush, Affleck, get ready, check the equipment one last time, remember to be steady, not shaking. ”
When the camera was in the designated position, he called out to the makeup artist again, "Makeup artist, give Damon another patch to make him look whiter." ”
While waiting for Damon to touch up his makeup, Tang Feng said to Damon with a smile: "Hey, Damon, don't be nervous, you blush when you are nervous, it looks unnatural." ”
After telling Damon, Tang Feng put forward his opinions to the other actors one by one.
"Kerry, when the actual shooting is done later, you must stop it. ”
"Remember that you are now a lovelorn and failed man, very, very desperate, without a trace of expression on your face. ”
"Yes, that's it, show your current state of mind. ”
"Lost, hopeless, apathetic, feeling like the whole world has abandoned you. ”
......
"Spacey, you did a good job of testing just now, but there was a small shortcoming. ”
"You're a fanatical, self-confident success starter, so be more excited and engaged when selling success to others. ”
"Well, the expression is a little richer, yes, yes, that's it, when you laugh, you have to bring emotion. ”
......
"Alan, you must remember that your ideas are out of step with the world, and as an old-fashioned, radical, and unscrupulous weird old man, be a little more flamboyant. ”
"Expressions, movements, language, I won't say any of these, you're an old actor, you should be able to understand what I mean, right?"
In a word, you have to show your rebellious spirit, and you can do the lines yourself, and you can play freely according to your understanding, but you must pay attention to the scale. ”
......
"Anne, when Alan Arkin speaks foul language, don't frown, act as if you didn't hear anything, and act like you're used to it. ”
"By the way, and Angela, if you look a little more natural, you can imagine them all as me, just like when you talk to me. ”
"I know you can do better, come on!"
......
"Alright, gaffer, make up the light, and then adjust the light at the end. ”
"Ready!"
At this moment, Tang Feng heard an angry roar from outside: "Damn! let go of your dirty hands!"
The voice was familiar, and he quickly reacted that the owner of the voice was Grace, whom he met on the day of the premiere.
Thinking that there were still many onlookers outside, Tang Feng was worried that something had happened to her, so he hurriedly asked everyone to wait, and then rushed out.
Then, he saw an incredible scene......
Like everyone else, Tang Feng stood at the door in a daze, looking at Grace with affection in shock, and didn't know what to do for a while.
"This, this is incredible!"
"She actually confessed to Monica in public!"
"Damn, what should I do?"
"Stop her?"
"Or just let it be?"
