When the audition was about to end, Chen Tiandu suddenly saw a familiar face, walked over and said hello: "Hey, Vin Diesel, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"You are?" Vin Diesel shook his hand in confusion. Although Chen Tiandu was on the side of the director team, everyone thought he was a staff member, and no one regarded this young man with an Asian mixed-race face as an assistant director.

"Christmas-Chan, you can call me Christmas. You're strong, and I think you can play a role. ”

"Thank you, and I hope I have the best of luck. The decision is still with them, isn't it. He tilted his head to look at the busy assistant director's team.

In the first half of this year, he wrote, directed and starred in a small-budget film "Lost", which brought him $47,000. But what really caught his attention in Hollywood was another film he starred in before, which was 1995's "Man with a Thousand Faces". The film "Man with a Thousand Faces" was featured at this year's Sundance Film Festival, and while it was well received, it didn't sell as well as Diesel had hoped, but "Man with a Thousand Faces" earned Diesel more work.

"What are you doing Christmas, come here, we still have a lot of work to do." Toby Hawkins shouted.

Vin Diesel glanced at the young man in slight surprise and guessed where he was in the crew. Chen Tiandu beckoned to him, "Come with me, buddy, introduce you to you." ”

Although Vin Diesel was surprised, he was not stupid, how could he let go of this opportunity to pull a relationship, and quickly followed.

Chen Tiandu said, "Toby, Bonnie, come and get to know each other." This is Vin Diesel, I think he's Capazzo, what do you think? ”

"Capazzo, are you sure?" Bonnie Curtis took a serious look at him, she was one of the three major producers of the film and had the most say in the room.

Toby also asked curiously, "Your friend?" ”

"Yes, we just met." Chen Tiandu did not hesitate at all, and said with a smile: "Mr. Vin Diesel has previously starred in the movie "Man with a Thousand Faces" and also participated in this year's St. Denis Film Festival. In addition, he also wrote, directed, and acted in a movie called "Lost", and has rich acting experience. ”

"Oh......"

If someone else is so directly recommending people, it may not be the same thing. But Chen Tian is a script screenwriter, and he has put forward feasible opinions many times, so everyone will naturally pay attention to it. Bonnie took the initiative to shake Vin Diesel's hand and chatted a few words. She now has a light black, mysterious face, and a deep voice, and looks more like a football player than an actress, and is very burly, isn't she?

Capazzo's role is not much, and it is not impossible to give it to him to play, which shows that Chen Tiandu is not choosing people randomly.

After a few words of conversation, she made up her mind, "Mr. Diesel, if your schedule is free, our next military training and filming may last for several months." And not in the United States, but to Ireland to shoot, can you adapt? ”

Vin Diesel's pupils dilated suddenly, and he froze for several seconds, but Chen Tiandu bumped his arm before he came to his senses, "No problem, it's total." ”

"Well, congratulations on getting the role, Capazzo."

Chen Tiandu also came over to shake hands with me, "Capazo doesn't have many scenes, I hope you don't mind." ”

"No, how could it be. Thank you very much...... Christmas. Pls are you ...... in the crew?"

Toby looked surprised, "You don't know him?" He is the screenwriter and is currently a member of the director team. Oh, I'm now sure you didn't know each other. ”

got the role of Vin Diesel, but Chen Tiandu saw familiar faces. After that, he didn't say much about the role choice. The rest of the characters were determined one by one, except for Ryan. They originally wanted to ask Edward Norton to play Ryan, but he refused. And the military training projects of the rest of the actors have ended, and now even if they recruit people, they can't participate in military training.

Time is pressing, and everyone is discussing the actors' information one by one.

Chen Tiandu quickly screened out a young horse-faced face from a large pile of information, "How is this person?" ”

"Mark Damon?"

……

From the audition to the first collective meeting of all the actors to read through the script and the lines, it was already half a month later. This is the second time that Chen Tiandu and Vin Diesel have met.

A big company is a big company, and there is still half an hour before the meeting, and as soon as Chen Tiandu opened the door, it was already full of people.

"Hi guys. Mr. Tom Hanks, I'm a fan of yours and it's a pleasure to meet you. "The veteran actor sitting in the middle, the iconic Forrest Gump face, isn't it Tom Hanks.

"Hello, Christmas. It's the first time we've met, and I didn't expect someone to be so young when I could write such an excellent script. ”

Tom Hanks smiled and shook his hand, "I've always been fascinated by the history of World War II, and I've always been looking for books and materials that can depict the whole of World War II in terms of human nature or human emotional experience, not just strategic operations, and the script of "Saving Private Ryan" is a brilliant portrayal of this. There are magnificent war scenes, and there is a tear-jerking story of dissecting human nature in war. It's amazing. Let's get started, we can't wait. ”

Tom Hanks is undoubtedly the big brother here, and if you also think of reality as the mentally handicapped in Forrest Gump, you can only say that you are funny. Whether it is with director Spielberg or his status in Hollywood, he is indispensable!

"Okay, idol."

The idol spoke, and Chen Tiandu dared not delay. His task is to help the leading actors get familiar with the script and get their lines right. smiled: "Except for idols, I believe everyone has seen me more or less during the interview, but it doesn't mean that they know me." Let me introduce myself, my name is Christmas-Chen, I am from China, I am the screenwriter of this play, and now I am also a member of the assistant director team. You may wonder, why did I, a Chinese boy, write such an American-style war script? ”

"Yes, that's exactly what I have? To be honest, this question has been held in my heart for several days. "It was Vin Diesel who was on the show.

Chen Tiandu cast a look at him and thanked him slightly.

He's throwing peaches and plums.

"Actually, I didn't think about it that much, I just wanted to write a script for an epic blockbuster. You know, young people don't know the height of the sky, but their hearts are always big. ”

Chen Tiandu smiled shyly, "And war always reminds people of epics, and epics will describe war." World War II was the largest war in human history so far, and it is also the closest to our grand epic. Again, I also wrote a story about China's World War II before, but unfortunately it was not satisfactory, and no one is willing to invest in it so far. ”

"World War II is the same all over the world, and it is not difficult to see on many heroic monuments that sometimes it is brothers and sisters who die. The loss of one son in a war is already very painful, and the grief of losing several sons at the same time can be imagined. ”

Normandy 6 is the most comparable passage in this verse to the Iliad. There is reason to remember this passage, through which we can still feel the fiery breath of the past, so as to restore the intense beating of the nerves that have been numbed for a long time immersed in tranquility. But the spectacle of thousands of sails racing and guns firing in unison didn't mean much after all, after all, it was always Achilles and Paris who were intimidating, not Trojan horses or warships. ”

"I'm a lucky guy, and I'm glad that the script was picked up by director Spielberg. I don't think anyone is better suited to make an epic film. ”

Everyone laughed, after all, if you praise the director, you have to give face.

Mark Damon suddenly raised his hand in a funny way to ask a question.

Chen Tiandu suddenly laughed, "Hey, buddy, don't be funny, this is not a classroom." ”

Mark was a little sneering, echoed and smiled, "Mr. Chen, thank you for recommending me to play the role of Ryan." ”

"No, no thanks. The main thing is that you are good enough, this is everyone's decision, and the director also approves of it. I'm a few years younger than you, and we're all young people, so you can just call me Christmas. Mark Damon is really not famous at this time, he only appeared in the movie "Modern Cinderella" in 1988, and has starred in some film works for 6 consecutive years in the past ten years, but there is not much to praise. Instead, he is about to work with his friend Ben Affleck to shoot a one-act play that he didn't finish in college, and his homework has been rewritten into the script for the movie "Soul Catcher". The film, which will be released next year, will launch Matt Damon's real Hollywood acting career.

(Many friends mentioned the question, about this paragraph, the old donkey watched the opening scene of "Iron Man 2" at the Congress, Tony Stark took out his mobile phone and directly hacked the Capitol TV screen.) I think it's also a smartphone, similar to hacking. Although it is indeed a bit ahead of 1997, it is not a question, and most people will not ask about it...... Well, for the sake of unnecessary trouble, Brother Tiandu will try to pretend to be B as little as possible in the future. Thank you very much, please collect. Recommend. Click. Tipping. ）
