Chapter 42: Full Launch
By the time he took Pete back to the basement, Mary and Angela had gone to bed, and William, Charlie, and Ken were waiting for him.
Since Charlie got up late in the morning and was arrested by Mary to accompany Angela at home, he didn't go to the audition site, which would be sulking.
William, as the chief judge of another group, was waiting to report to him on that group.
Don't look at him as Tang Feng's elder, but he is meticulous in doing things, and he doesn't have the shelf of an elder at all, which also makes Tang Feng feel very comfortable, and he wants to persuade him to resign and follow himself.
Ken was very curious about Pete, and gave full play to his "talkative" spirit, and it didn't take long to almost find out the bottom of Pete, and even some of his "black history" was revealed.
When he heard that Pete was eliminated by Wilton, he immediately said that he wanted to seek justice for his new buddy, but fortunately Tang Feng snatched the phone, otherwise he would have dared to call and question Wilton.
Tang Feng had his own thoughts on this matter, and he would not blame Wilton no matter what.
After all, he helped himself a lot, and from Wilton's point of view, he didn't do anything wrong, and as the chief judge, of course, he has the right to weed out people he doesn't like.
Like Monica, as the leading actor of the movie, Pete also got the complete script from Tang Feng and asked him to familiarize himself with the script as quickly as possible, and he also kept it a secret from the outside world for the time being.
Pete was so excited, he thought Tang Feng was joking just now, and the actor couldn't have been determined by someone who had a relationship.
After learning that he had really become the leading actor, he immediately said that he would definitely be familiar with the script in the shortest possible time.
So much so that when Tang Feng got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, he found that Pete who was working on the floor was missing, and it took him a long time to find Pete who was reading the script under the street lamp.
But he just shook his head and smiled, and went back to sleep, without disturbing Pete, who was working hard.
When he got up in the morning, the fellow slept like a dead dog, snoring loudly, and occasionally saying a few words in his sleep.
"I'm really not a killer, I'm just a wandering singer, don't chase me anymore!"
"My dear, I'm gone, and although I can't stay with you, I promise to come to see you often. ”
"If I could turn back time, I'd rather never know you again......"
Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Tang Feng didn't call him, but just told Mary to take care of his baby hero, so he and William and their group of four rushed to the commercial street.
It seems that he ran out of luck on the first day, and in this day's audition, he only found David who played Ross in "Friends".
He looks so individual, Tang Feng recognized him from afar, and because he chatted with him for a while, he was protested by other players.
No way, who let it be his favorite TV series in his previous life.
He also paid to download all the episodes, which were stored on his laptop, and he used to like to flip them out and watch them when he was fine.
The so-called 2B youth is very happy, and several leading actors with a very secondary temperament don't know how many times they make him laugh.
Seeing David again, he suddenly recalled a lot of past events, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.
"It's really interesting to think about, this is the first week of the audition, I met David and Jennifer, I don't know if I will meet other people in the future. ”
"Is this a game quest? Collect legendary shards, make a legendary set, and then go on a remake of Friends?"
"Hehe, I've got two shards, will I be far from the combo suit?"
But then he thought of a very real problem, "They became attached to this TV series and became legends on the small screen." But on the big screen, can they achieve that kind of achievement?"
"I really don't know what it will be like to bring them to the big screen now. ”
Although he has not gained much from stardom, he has gained a lot from group performances.
On this day, more than 20 people were successfully promoted, and most of them had worked in the crew, such as camera assistants, lighting assistants, and studio assistants.
This also makes him very happy, no matter how many big names there are, they also need green leaves, if his company is all big names, then Hollywood stars are too worthless.
......
After two days of auditions, he felt a noticeable change, as if suddenly he was the celebrity of the whole of East Los Angeles.
When he went to the police station on Monday to make a summary with everyone, he found that no matter where he went, there were people who could recognize him.
Regardless of whether they knew each other before or not, most of them would say hello to him in a friendly manner, or chat for a word or two.
If he responds, everyone will be happy, and sometimes he doesn't notice, and the person who greets him will be a little unhappy.
There are even some grumpy ones who will keep calling him until he responds, so that he is not bothered.
Obviously, he had just thought of something, and he was interrupted like this, and after he had finished entertaining his enthusiastic neighbor, he turned his head and forgot all about what had just happened.
Hunter has a lot of experience in this area, and after listening to his complaints, he said with a smile: "This is a good thing, it means that you have been recognized by everyone." ”
"I've heard a lot of people talk about you in private, saying that you're our big hero in East Los Angeles. ”
"Just now, Qiao Sen talked to me and me, saying that he really made a lot of money from this investment. In just two days, his mall has sold millions of dollars, and many sought-after items have been out of stock. ”
"And in addition to the contestants, there are also some tourists who have changed their itinerary and come to us instead, which has benefited many people. ”
"Add to that the fact that your interviews are always on TV for the past two days, and even the newspapers are full of news about you, so it's no wonder if they don't recognize you. ”
His words were approved by everyone, and they unanimously asked Tang Feng to adapt to such changes as soon as possible, otherwise if he couldn't even handle the relationship between neighbors and neighbors, I was afraid that he would become a stain on criticism in the future.
Tang Feng happily accepted everyone's suggestions, and then discussed with them about the movie and the arrangements for the next audition.
Now he is no longer the bare-bones commander he was at the beginning, it can be said that he wants people, money, and money.
Although it can't be too extravagant, it can basically make his movies at will without worrying too much about the cost.
Therefore, the establishment of the crew and the official start of filming of the film have been put on the agenda.
After weighing the current situation left and right, Tang Feng put forward a suggestion of his own. It was Wilton who was the chief producer, and the cinematographer was the newly unearthed Yanush.
The male and female protagonists are Pete and Monica respectively, and the killer is naturally played by George, and his acting skills have been recognized by everyone.
Jennifer will be on the show as the heroine's best friend, while David will play an honest cop.
Damon and Affleck, two good friends, Tang Feng didn't want them to play any role for the time being, but let them serve as field managers and photographer assistants respectively.
He felt that Damon was still a little unable to let go, and letting him participate more in some crew things was also a kind of training for him.
Affleck will be a director in the future, and it will be beneficial for him to learn photography now, and his temperament is a little arrogant, and Tang Feng is also ready to stay up with him for a while.
As for Quentin, Tang Feng put him in the position of assistant director!
He attaches great importance to Quentin's growth, and hopes that after the end of this movie, he will be able to support himself and make his own films.
An Affleck who will take a long time to grow up, and a B-grade film master who may have an epiphany at any time, Tang Feng certainly knows which one to support first.
He has his own considerations for such an arrangement.
If before this, he didn't have a clear positioning for himself, then now, he has a relatively clear idea.
He doesn't need to do everything himself, let alone finish all the classic movies, as long as he can support these people, he can fully blossom.
That effect is definitely much better than him fighting alone, and he only needs to take the opportunity of this audition to dig out more talents.
As for whether he can cover these future coffees, it depends on his own ability!
As long as he can get off to a good start and successfully squeeze into Hollywood, then these people will be labeled as Tang in the future, and they will become his unique connections.
......
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Tang Feng came to a final word, "Okay, let's arrange it like this for the time being." ”
"In addition to the crew members, I will also recruit some employees among the finalists to set up the structure of the two companies as soon as possible. ”
"I'll contact the selected person in a while, Wilton, you start preparing now, others will assist you, and we'll officially start shooting in three days!"
Just when everyone was about to split up, Tang Feng suddenly thought of another question, and hurriedly stopped everyone and said, "There is one thing I want to explain." ”
"I've said before that the crew will be dominated by people from the region, but now it seems completely impossible. ”
"I want to ask you what you think about this?"
Although he asked everyone, he mainly wanted to know Hunter's attitude, after all, such a result was completely different from what he had originally envisioned, and he didn't know if Hunter would care.
Tang Feng felt that as a collaborator, he had to take care of each other's feelings.
He even thought that if Hunter was not satisfied, he would make a new movie after the release of this movie to build momentum for Hunter.
Unexpectedly, Hunter didn't care at all, and patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and praised: "Don't be too stressed, you've done a good job." ”
"Now that everybody knows about it, and a lot of people are benefiting from it, that's enough. ”
Jossen also agreed with Hunter, "Hunter is very right, a lot of people have made a lot of money, who cares about this little thing?"
