Chapter 531: I'm to blame for this
Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!
In the temporary audition room on the warehouse set, representatives of the Screen Actors Guild and Michelle Williams sat at the front, and Murphy and Gal Gadot sat relatively far back, with a monitor in front of them, and the actors captured by the audition camera would be transmitted to the monitor as soon as possible. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In front of the camera, a stout actor over six feet tall has just finished performing a literary play.
Murphy didn't speak, just looked at the actor, the other party's facial contours were hard, and the reflection into the camera frame appeared extremely hard, giving people an angular texture, just like the male protagonist.
In addition to these, his hard face is also full of determination, and he is definitely not the kind of beautiful man who looks like a sissy.
"Mr. Cavill," Michelle Williams said at this point, "please take off your shirt. ”
Due to the previous audition instructions, the actor named Cavill did not hesitate to strip naked, revealing a body of angular muscles.
Murphy tilted his head to look at the monitor, and then looked at the actor himself, although the other party's muscles did not meet the requirements of the role, he was already the best one among all the male actors auditioned today, and with such a figure and muscles as a foundation, it was not difficult to train stronger muscles after professional training.
"It's the best one of the day." Gal Gadot leaned over and said.
"Hmm." Murphy nodded slightly.
Although the acting skills are relatively average, the facial contours and figure do meet the requirements of the male protagonist.
Michelle Williams probably saw Murphy and Gal Gadot communicating, and couldn't help but cast an inquiring look, Murphy waved his hand lightly, signaling him to continue with the audition procedure.
Watching the actor continue to audition, Murphy is also considering the pros and cons, this actor has a natural advantage in appearance, since it is a realistic film, the actor who is a fighting master can't be a thin type, he must be a strong man, if a beautiful man easily puts down a few big men, it is estimated that there will be countless laughs during the screening.
In such a dark and heavy film, it is definitely a failure to have a laughing scene.
As for acting, in such a film, in fact, there are not many places where acting skills are played, and there are not even a few places, only basic acting skills are needed, and when he first planned it, he didn't expect the actor to have an explosion of acting skills and win a few acting awards or something.
The audition ended quickly, and the actor was just about to leave, but Murphy suddenly stopped him, "Wait." ”
The actor named Cavill immediately looked at Murphy, and the surprise in his eyes flashed, "Director Stanton? ”
"You're an Englishman." Murphy flipped through his profile and asked, "How do you speak American English?" ”
"I've been working in the U.S. for many years." The British actor immediately switched to an eastern accent and sounded a lot like a traditional New Yorker, "used to the accent here." ”
Obviously, the actor was fully prepared before the audition, and even the accent of the character was taken into account.
Murphy likes smart and hard-working actors, which is good for filming, and he closes the information and finally says, "Mr. Henry Cavill, you can go back and wait for notice." ”
"Thank you." Henry Cavill bowed slightly, turned and walked out of the audition room.
Michelle Williams, who had previously worked as Murphy's assistant, knew some of his habits of speaking, and immediately understood that the British actor named Henry Cavill was already the hottest candidate for the leading actor.
In the subsequent auditions, Murphy also met several other candidates who looked good, such as Chris Hemsworth and Jeremy Renner, but their acting skills were no better than Henry Cavill, and they had a contract with Marvel Studios, and they may have troubles in terms of scheduling and promotion.
Another point is suggested by Gal Gadot, Henry Cavill's salary is lower, a maximum of a million dollars can be done.
As soon as the audition for the actor ended, Murphy convened an impromptu meeting between the director team and the production team to discuss the actor selection of the actor according to the audition results, saying that it was a discussion, but in fact, in this regard, whether it was Gal Gadot and Michelle Williams, or the producers assigned by Twentieth Century Fox in the crew, they were completely based on his opinion.
Since a few years ago, Murphy has had the power to decide the hero and heroine.
So, Henry Cavill from the United Kingdom got this character set as a New Yorker.
Even Murphy himself didn't expect that he took Henry Cavill's Clark Kent and ended up giving him another male lead.
It can only be said that many times, the development of this world will not change because of the will of individuals.
Instead of directly participating in the female lead audition, Murphy sat down with Henry Cavill and his agent, as well as the fitness trainer specially hired by the crew, to negotiate for a while to determine Henry Cavill's fitness program.
Henry Cavill can be said to be quite strong now, but Murphy asks him to be stronger to match the strong enough traits of the male protagonist in the film.
In any case, a muscular man is more in line with the setting of a fighting master.
And the main market for the film is still North America, South America, Europe, Australia and other countries and regions, in the film aesthetics of these countries, muscular men are more in line with aesthetics, and those slender and slender beautiful men are just synonymous with "sissies".
Although this film will inevitably appear in Japan and South Korea, two countries where beautiful men are popular, Murphy will not make those unnecessary changes for the peculiar aesthetics of one or two markets.
The fitness trainer's fitness plan for Henry Cavill is professional, but it doesn't seem complicated, it's a three-month plan, Henry Cavill first has to gain weight, consume 5,000 calories a day to make the body grow to a certain stage, and then lose excess body fat.
Henry Cavill currently weighs one hundred and ninety pounds, and the goal is to increase to two hundred and twenty pounds, and then drop to around two hundred and five pounds at the time of filming.
This is a common way for Hollywood actors to build muscle, but this sudden weight gain and drop in a short period of time does not do any good for the body.
Many Hollywood actors, especially those who win the Oscars in order to win the admiration of the academy, often use this way to show their dedication and please the old men.
In a short period of time, this may seem like nothing, but if you lose weight too many times, all the bad consequences will be visible when you get older.
But Henry Cavill didn't have any chance to refuse, and if he wanted to get the role, he had to execute the plan, and in the face of a strong director like Murphy, he just had to say 'no', which meant losing the opportunity.
After getting the lead actor's thing, Murphy then attended the audition for the heroine, but after seeing the audition effect of Margot Robbie, he called out the entire second audition and confirmed that Margot Robbie would play the heroine.
At this point, the four main roles in the film have all been determined, and Murphy has thrown all the remaining supporting roles and small roles to Michelle Williams.
"Tired, aren't you?"
In the office, Gal Gadot took a cup of coffee and placed it on the table in front of Murphy, "Have a cup of coffee." ”
As she spoke, she turned to Murphy's back and stretched out two slender fingers to gently massage his forehead.
Murphy took a cup of coffee, then turned to ask, "How do you have time?" ”
The two are not in the same office, he is busy, and Gal Gadot, the producer and executive producer, has a lot of work to do.
Gal Gadot smiled and said, "Maggie asked me to help her say thank you." ”
"Nothing, your friend."
Hearing Murphy's words, Gal Gadot rolled his eyes slightly, because the role is a legal worker, Margot Robbie deliberately wore a body-shaping professional suit when she auditioned, which not only impressed Murphy, but also made everyone present look sideways.
If it weren't for such a brilliant audition effect, with the personality of the guy in front of him, how could he have decided to use Margot Robbie so happily?
Murphy seemed to be able to guess what Gal Gadot was thinking, and said, "Don't think of me as so unkind, I've known Maggie since she was a child, and of course I'll prioritize her when I have the chance." ”
"Hmm." Gal Gadot, of course, knew that Murphy wasn't that kind of person, and said, "With this role, Maggie will be in a better mood." The Harley Quinn who was about to arrive is now being dragged down by Warner, and I don't know if it will be replaced. ”
"I'm to blame for this." Murphy shook his head, "It was I who didn't think it through at the time, and introduced her to Bruce Rosenblum, which actually hurt her. ”
At the beginning, Murphy was kind, which introduced Margot Robbie to Bruce Rosenbrum, who knew that after the release of "Batman v Superman", Warner Bros. came to the door to let him return to the DC superhero movie project, but was scared away by his lion mouth, and it is estimated that his refusal affected Margot Robbie to some extent.
"Maggie said, it's none of your business." Gal Gadot sighed, "Everyone else knows that she is my best friend, and I am your girlfriend, and this layer of relationship will always have some impact." ”
Murphy nodded, whether it is an Eastern society or a Western society, the influence of the network is quite large.
Although the United States is not a humane society, and interests in the Hollywood circle come first, the relationship within the rules will play a role many times.
However, these effects can be both good and bad.
"That's right." Murphy remembered one thing, "What about Maggie?" She wants to thank me, why not come herself? (To be continued.) )
