Telling Theron how to act through Spacey was something that Levy had thought about before that. Theron is an actor with a lot of potential, but potential is not ability. Now she has just stepped into the showbiz not long ago, and she still has no systematic understanding of how to act and how to prepare. Through the old actor, tell her what to do, this is also the fastest way.

As a director, while making a good movie, it is also a very important part to guide the actors to act. There aren't many good directors who don't know how to get actors to act, and Levy hopes that he can help Spacey and Theron take her first steps to success.

Of course, this is also Theron himself determined. If you are replaced by a person and you are stupid when you see such a painstaking preparation process, then Levy's mind will be in vain. Thankfully, Theron didn't disappoint Levy. This woman with a somewhat stubborn temper was really aroused to a greater curiosity**.

That's good, in this way, she is in the movie, more obedient, and more able to make a good movie.

This can also be regarded as Levy's consideration for his future: if he makes friends with good actors, he can have a better relationship, and when he makes movies in the future, he needs to let them play some small roles with a lower status, so that he has a greater possibility. Levy has always been envious of Kubrick's style of using stars as a dragon when he made movies, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he would also like to try it.

However, that is for the future, and in this play, she can play her role well.

Spacey's agreement is a big step forward for the film. At this time, Clark has also finalized the candidates for some other roles. In the film, Clark found Bob Gunton to play the role of Secretary of Culture. This actor has participated in many movies, and he is in his early 50s this year, and his grade is quite appropriate, with slightly drooping eyes, and after makeup, it can be said that playing a corrupt official is just right. As for the role of the director, Clark chose David Hughes to play it. This British actor Levy also has some impressions, and now he is also a little famous, and he has filmed a lot of subdivisions, and it is just right to play this role with more scenes.

And there are more scenes, which are the playwright's journalist friends - the role of Jack has already been booked, and Levy has nothing more to say.

It's just that except for Jack, these two actors, the salary is not low, but fortunately, Kevin Spacey decided to shoot Levy's movie, so that Levy's movie found the backbone at once, and he generously agreed to use the two of them. Being able to have heavyweight actors join is always not a bad thing for the future development of the movie. Moreover, Kevin Spacey not only agreed to star in the movie, but also took the initiative to cut his salary when he sent his agent to sign the contract, and generously said that his salary was 5 million, which was much less than the 10 million he originally envisioned.

"I don't need much money...... You keep the money and find a better actor to play with me, that's what I want. ”

In this regard, Levy also admired: Some good actors are indeed willing to make sacrifices for the sake of the movie in filming. Not only the salary, Levy also heard that the "Los Angeles Confidential" he is filming now, because there is suspenseful content, the director arranged the starring Spacey in a very low position in the cast list in order not to let people know the murderer too early - Spacey has no opinion on this, this kind of treatment makes Levy admire the director's intentions at the same time, but also admire Spacey's approach.

It's just that it is precisely because of the filming of this movie that Spacey also put forward his own requirements. Los Angeles Secrets has not yet been completed, so even if he joins the crew, he will have to wait until after the movie is completed. And, by June, when the movie was released, he might have to participate in some promotional activities, so he also made it clear that he wouldn't leave Los Angeles until at least August.

"There's nothing wrong with that." Levy's time also happened to be free in May, "We can start filming the interior part in May, and then we will go to Germany to shoot the exterior when the indoor scenes are finished." Spacey was quite satisfied with this answer, and after he agreed, he immediately recommended a new person to Levy to make the film.

He recommended De Leman's actors - except for the playwright Ledeman, the other roles in the film were all negotiated. And for this role, Levi hopes to find a better actor than in the original work: the actor in the original work is a little too restrained, and it is not chic enough, and he does not show a passionate and rebellious literary worker in his heart very well, and the charm is somewhat lacking, which also makes Levi dissatisfied, since he shoots, then, he also hopes that there is a more charming person who can show the changes in the characters to play.

This role can also be regarded as the protagonist, and Levy is naturally looking for it more seriously, and Spacey really recommended Levy when he couldn't find anyone.

"I was going to recommend Russell Crowe to play this play, but we worked very well together on the L.A. Confidential play, and I was very satisfied with it, and I would love to do more with him...... It's just that he doesn't want to play with the same person all the time, so he refuses to come, but just recommends another person to you. ”

Spacey's words made Levy a little regretful: if it were really two actors and one actress, this lineup would be really too strong.

The actor he recommended is also an Australian and is now acting on Broadway. The character in your film is a playwright, so I think the actor you need is preferably someone who has some stage skills. This actor has acted in stage plays for a long time and has been in contact with enough playwrights, he should know very well about the character and characteristics of this kind of person, and this person is said to be a very good-tempered person, very obedient, very honest, and should be able to make a good movie. ”

Hollywood actors, when acting, like to recommend their compatriots, and this Levy also knows it. Russell Crowe recommended an Australian actor, and Levy was not surprised and immediately agreed to his interview. It's just that after seeing the real person, Levy was a little surprised.

"Hello, my name is Hugh Jackman, Australian."

The person I introduced as a simple person looks quite appropriate: he is wearing a gray T-shirt, a blue jacket, long wavy hair and a shawl, but his beard is cleanly shaved, and he can't help but wear a pair of rimless glasses on his face, and he also hangs a sunglasses on his T-shirt, which looks absolutely literary enough.

But the problem is that the actor's name is Hugh Jackman.

"I'm doing a musical show on Broadway right now, and I don't have much experience in filmmaking, so I auditioned after hearing Crow's recommendation. My dress? I read the script and thought about what kind of temperament should be more appropriate, and I think it's good to dress up like this. ”

When asked, Hugh Jackman answered very frankly.

"It looks good, but is it really appropriate for him to act in such a scene?" The only trouble Levy saw him, his mind was always replenished, and a steel claw suddenly popped out of his hand, "Isn't it a little strong?" ”

"I can't see it...... And, don't you want the actor to have some sense of power? This actor is a good fit, but my concern is that he dances more on Broadway, will he be a little feminine...... Now it looks okay and there is nothing to worry about. ”

"Your worries are really unnecessary, I promise he will definitely not be feminine." Levy heard Clarke's concern and was silent for a moment before speaking.

Although he felt awkward, Levy also knew that he played this role very well. Levy hopes that this character is a person who can embody a chic temperament without going through Taicai, and the singers are very good at body language because of their own performances, and every stance and movement is pursuing a sense of coordination, they can always maintain their sense of beauty, and they can indeed show this temperament.

It's just that maybe others don't feel it when they look at it, but Levy always has cash in his heart...... An actor has a classic role, and it's hard to forget.

However, Levy believes that he can overcome those problems: who is a good actor who does not have one or two classic images? If you take care of their image, you don't have to mix with yourself as a director.

By the end of April, the people were almost found, and these actors could be said to be better actors than the original, but I don't know what effect Kevin Spacey, Hugh Jackman, and Charlize Theron would be when they got together.

The actors are all found, and the rest of the film is almost ready, and at this time, Leslie also brings good news.

"We've put you in touch with a distributor – your movie, and Universal is willing to distribute it on your behalf." Recently, it's almost May, and it's the day of the TV series renewal, CBS is eager to negotiate the renewal of the TV series, and when it comes to doing things for Levy, it also works harder, "You don't need to worry about this!" ”

PS: Hugh Jackman has a lot of appearances in literary films, which is very different from Wolverine. His own temperament is also closer to literary films, and even because of his background in musical and dance dramas, he paid attention to his image, and was suspected of being gay.
