Chapter 25 Determining the Supporting Role (Asking for Collection Recommendation)

Marven's role has been confirmed to be played by Daniel, and the next job for Huo Que is to find Harry's actor.

Today, there are more than 200 people auditioning, these people are old fritters who have been in Hollywood for many years, and they all have some works, and some are even famous. However, in Hollywood, you can meet actors even if you go the wrong way, and being famous is nothing.

The supporting role wants to become the protagonist, and the protagonist wants to become a superstar, it takes a process, not to mention that the production of Huo Que's movie is not small, so the people who come here will not put up any shelf in front of Huo Que, he only needs to seriously choose two actors as the supporting roles in "Home Alone".

Since the morning, Huo Que has been watching the video, but there are only three actors who have been called into the house to ask for live performances, except for Daniel who gave Huo Que a surprise, the other two in the video are not bad, but once he changes a role, the performance is not very good, so Huo Que can only choose among the actors in the back again.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, after Huo Que heard his stomach protest twice, he ordered a takeaway to fill his stomach, and then watched the video non-stop.

Alice and Laurie didn't expect Huo Que to be a workaholic, and they couldn't even eat when they did things, but they still belonged to Huo Que's jurisdiction after all, and they didn't have much to say.

Until four o'clock in the afternoon, more than 200 videos had been watched, and Huo Que still hadn't found the ideal Harry.

There are still a dozen videos left, and Huo Que clicks on one at random.

This is a comedy movie, and the actor who sent this video is Humpty Dumpty.

This video is about the actor's burglary at a convenience store, his right hand on the shelf, his palm gently tugging at a handful of chocolates, his eyes seem to be carefully selecting goods, but in fact he is observing whether there is anyone around. Huo Que smiled at the corner of his mouth, this actor's acting skills are very good, there is not a single line in the whole video from the beginning to the end, but this actor shows the thief's psychological reaction in the process of theft as it should be.

And what makes Huo Que most excited is that this actor's acting skills look slightly exaggerated, but they fit the effect of this scene very well.

Comedy is actually the most difficult to perform, and it is not just by pretending to be crazy and stupid to win the audience's love. is like Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu", from the beginning to the end of the whole movie, the starring Stephen Chow was not deliberately funny, but the plot conflict of the whole play made the audience want to laugh.

For example, the scene of throwing a flying knife, this kind of thing happened was originally a joke, but Stephen Chow performed so seriously. There is also a shot of him throwing artillery and calling the Axe Gang, and when the audience sees the leader of the Axe Gang walking into the rental compound with a smoking hat and a cigar in his mouth, they all laugh. This plot is very pompous, but why doesn't anyone care? In fact, the reason is very simple, because this is a Stephen Chow movie, because this is a comedy movie, and some scenes that seem exaggerated in other themes are just right in a comedy.

And the two stupid thieves in "Home Alone" were helpless by an eight-year-old child, are they exaggerated? Is it real? It's definitely pompous, it's definitely not true, but it's impossible for the audience to care about it, they think this plot is funny.

Because "Home Alone" was originally a comedy movie.

The performer of this video was called to the audition hall.

The door was gently pushed open, and a slightly short and fat middle-aged man leaned against the door frame, his eyes swept around Huo Que and the four people, and asked vaguely, "Can a drunk person come to the audition?" ”

"Haha......"

Huo Que and the four of them laughed at the same time, not only because of the middle-aged man's words, but also because of his funny actions. He really seemed to be drunk, his facial expression kept changing, and the scale of his mouth opening and closing once made Huo Que worry that he was going to vomit, and he shook his body when he wanted to take two steps inside, and then asked that sentence.

"Not bad!" Of course, Huo Que knew that this was his performance, although his performance made people look like the real thing, but Huo Que knew that drunk people would not come to the audition.

Sure enough, Huo Que's praise had just been exported, and the middle-aged man suddenly stood up straight, showed a funny smile that made people laugh, and quickly walked in front of Huo Que.

"Hello, four beautiful ladies and dudes, my name is Qiao. Steven. I waited outside for an afternoon, knowing that there were not many people called in, and since I was lucky enough to be able to participate in the audition, then I simply directed and acted in a play, I don't know if the director was not satisfied? The bridge was on the chair in front of him at Huo Que's motion.

"Very good." Huo Que said bluntly.

Bridge's acting skills are not to be said, and they are very suitable for the role of Harry, a sneaky thief.

…………

Huo Que also watched the rest of the video responsibly, but none of Daniel and the bridge were amazing, so the actors of Harry and Marven gave the bridge and Daniel without suspense.

In order to ensure the progress, Huo Que signed a contract with two actors in the afternoon, and the status of these two people in Hollywood is not very high, so Huo Que did not give much remuneration, 60,000 US dollars per person, no box office dividends and other benefits.

$60,000 is not low, you must know that when the first part of Home Alone, Macaulay Culkin, as the starring actor, only got a salary of $100,000, of course, there are still some box office dividends, and of course he earns more than $100,000.

In fact, both Qiao and Daniel are very willing to participate in this movie, after all, this is a big production in Hollywood, and they still have a lot of roles in it.

If this movie is successful, it will be very beneficial to them, just like Brown, who participated in "This Man is from Earth", has now received some scenes with heavy roles, and the salary has also increased several times compared to before.

Don't look at American blockbusters with an investment of one or two hundred million at every turn, and think that Hollywood movies are big investments, but in fact, there are still many movies whose investment is not very high, after all, film companies are not stupid. Those works with an investment of more than 100 million yuan are projects that they want to use to make money continuously, and some works with small investments are the majority of their money.

For example, the work "Pulp Fiction" directed by the talented director Quentin Tarantino, which received seven nominations at the Oscars, competed with "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Forrest Gump" at the Oscars and won the best original screenplay. Saved the works of John Travota, Samuel L. Jackson, and Bruce Willis with a measly $8 million investment.

Don't think that Quentin Tarantino's status was very low at that time, in fact, his "Reservoir Dogs" had laid a good foundation for him, but his next film still only had an investment of eight million dollars.

Therefore, it is good that Huo Que has been able to spend 12 million US dollars to make the next movie since "This Man is from Earth".

In addition to the supporting roles of the two thieves, the remaining group of children's actors waited until the main role audition to be selected from it. And the parents of the starring actor and the three characters Huo Que, who was mistaken for a murderer by the protagonist and was actually a good old man, already had a plan.

After all, movies have a circle, and although Huo Que has not been in the industry for a long time, he still has some friends, such as Brown. Sandy, Shiryl Sarry.

He was going to invite Brown and Shirley to participate in the role of the protagonist's parents in this movie, when they were playing a couple in "This Man is from Earth", they should be more comfortable playing husband and wife in this play.

and the old sweeping man, Huo Que, is ready to let Gabby Esther play it.

In fact, after the release of "This Man from Earth", Huo Que also met with them, and from their words, Huo Que could hear that they were very grateful to him, after all, this movie made them gain a fame they couldn't imagine, and when they became famous, of course, their value was naturally high.

So Huo Que will not refuse, the first is to return the favor, and the second is that it is possible that this movie will make them famous again, because Huo Que's talent is obvious to all, and no one dares to guarantee what kind of surprise his next movie will bring to the audience.

Of course, although it is an acquaintance, but they can't be allowed to do it in vain, and the salary must be given.

That night, Huo Que first called Gabi, and then explained the situation to him. Unexpectedly, after knowing that Huo Que invited him to participate in his movie, Gabby was as happy as a child, saying that he had never taken over the play since he came out of the crew of "This Man from Earth" last time, because he felt that this role might be the pinnacle of his acting career in this life, and he might not play other roles in the future.

But when he heard that Huo Que had another work to find him, he agreed without thinking, saying that he believed Huo Que.

immediately called Brown, it was the same, Brown readily agreed, and didn't want to be paid, saying that Huo Que still owed him a movie anyway, and he couldn't send him away with a supporting role.

has been with Brown for so long, Huo Que knows his character very well, so he is not too polite, he doesn't want to be paid, he doesn't want to be paid, anyway, he wants to return his favor.

The phone was called to Shiryl, and Huo Que had already agreed to the other end of the phone as soon as he finished speaking.

Hanging up the phone, Huo Que was full of joy.

This is the charm of the director, who can bring a group of people together, and can also make them go from unknown to famous.

The director is Bole, Huo Que is also Bole, he still has a lot of movies to make, and of course there are still many Maxima waiting for him to excavate. When these thousands of horses are galloping on the battlefield, his status as a Bole will be transcendent.

It's really exciting to think about, when half of the A-list stars in Hollywood come out of Huo Que's movies one day, then who in the world doesn't know that there is a person named Huo Que in this world.

At a film awards ceremony, the Best Actor said: "First of all, I want to thank my Bole, Mr. Huo Que." ”

On a talk show, the guest said sincerely: "I have been able to get to this position thanks to Mr. Huo Que." ”

This is the distance Huo Que will take in the future.
