Chapter Fifty-Three: John Cowley Who Will Play
Jodie Foster's contract was signed quickly, and the salary was not very high, not even one-third of her previous salary, but there was no way, for the role of Rachel, Xiansen could not spend too much advance, this movie only has two roles for Xiansen that can be overspent at a premium, one is the protagonist Teddy, and the other is the psychiatric doctor John Cowley, if these two roles find the right person, no matter what the cost, he will agree.
Now, Leonardo DiCaprio has conquered Xiansen with his excellent performance at the audition, and he is about to become the leading actor in Xiansen's films again. However, John Cowley's role, after a day of audition, has not been able to choose the right actor, Xiansen does not need a handsome man and a beautiful woman, he needs an actor who makes people feel sinister and vicious at first glance, and it is better to be a little older.
"Rachel, I really can't find a role for you this time."
Returning home from the set, comfortably enjoying Rachel's massage, Xiansen gave this little girl who has been dedicated to the disappointment of the answer, if it was another movie script, he would definitely be able to change a suitable role, but for "Shutter Island", not to mention changing the role, it is some subtle habitual actions for this role, Xiansen does not dare to change it easily, because this may be a hint of the storyline.
"Your movie will always be only for Leonardo."
Rachel said indignantly as he pinched Xiansen's shoulder. Listening to these words with some emotions, Xiansen couldn't help laughing, daring to love this little girl actually eating Leonardo's vinegar.
"By the way, Rachel, let me ask you a question, think about it, do you remember the villain in a certain movie, the kind of character who looks like a bad guy at first glance."
For the role of John Cowley, Xiansen no longer plans to continue to select through auditions, he is ready to personally find some veteran actors who are suitable for the role, as for who to find, Xiansen wants to refer to the opinions of others.
"Smith!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Rachel said a name.
Smith?
Xiansen turned the name around in his mind and finally knew who the little girl was talking about, it was the famous cold-blooded killer in "The Matrix", the virus program that always remained calm.
"Hugo Weaving, this is another big Buddha."
For Hugo Weaving, who played Smith in "The Matrix", Xiansen feels that this guy is quite a match for John Cowley in terms of temperament, that unpredictable feeling, both good and evil appearance, can add a lot of points to his movie, but it is really hard to say whether this Buddha can take on this role, after all, he is now in the crew of "The Lord of the Rings, The Lord of the Rings", and the focus of work will definitely be on that big-budget movie.
As it turned out, Xiansen's idea was completely correct, and after contacting Hugo Weaving through the Actors' Guild, Hugo Weaving refused the invitation despite Xiansen's sincere attitude, giving the reason that he needed to rest after filming "The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings Reappearing".
There's no way, this kind of thing can't be forced, Xiansen had to start looking for other actors, worrying about the actor of a role, Xiansen felt this way for the first time, in fact, the main reason is that he is too eager to pursue perfection, as long as he is willing to settle down, it is still very simple to find an actor to play John Cowley
Mark Ruffalo is now excited because his audition was successful, which also shows that one of his wishes has been fulfilled. Xiansen is a director with a unique style in his eyes, and after reading the script of the new movie, he is even more sure of this, and now he can shoot under the director he likes, and he feels that there is nothing better in the world.
"Steve, I made it!"
As soon as he entered the house, Mark Ruffalo shouted loudly, wanting to share the joyful news with everyone. Steve is a friend of his, who came from Brooklyn to play and is also an actor, who currently lives in Mark's home.
"Congratulations Mark, but I still want to ask, what exactly did you succeed?"
Steve didn't know that Mark Ruffalo was going to audition today, so he asked curiously.
"Audition, audition for a movie! Do you know Mister Sen? It was the director who made "50 First Loves", and I auditioned successfully for his new film. ”
As soon as he talked about Xiansen, Mark couldn't stop getting excited, and gushed endlessly: "Don't you know, his movie, the script alone is beyond my imagination, I watched it three times before I barely dared to guess the ending, you look at the main line and layout of this story, it's simply interlocking, it's too exciting and exciting." ”
As he spoke, Mark Ruffalo handed Steve the broken script, wanting his friends to experience the shock of the script.
Shaking his head helplessly, Steve reached out and took the script, he was used to Mark's surname, this guy in front of him was quite obsessed with movies, and he was like a big child in the world of movies, so after seeing some new ideas and ideas, he would be curious and worship from the heart.
Because of this, Mark Ruffalo's vision has become more and more critical, and his requirements for movies are getting higher and higher. Steve couldn't help but be curious.
Picked up the mutilated script and slowly turned the page, only reading the beginning to attract Steve's interest, Shutter Island? Prison for the Mentally Ill? Federal police detective? The end of World War II? These mysterious words kept lingering in his mind.
After some time, Steve suddenly felt a little hungry, and looked up to see Mark Ruffalo holding a burger and nibbling in front of him.
"Hi Mark, how long have I been watching?"
Steve felt that the light in the room was a little dim, and asked embarrassedly.
"More than two hours!"
While eating a hamburger, he gave a vague answer.
Steve was surprised to hear Mark Ruffalo's answer, completely unaware that so much time had passed.
"Mark, I want to ask, who is John Cowley playing?"
After a moment's hesitation, Steve asked a question anyway.
"I haven't found it yet, the director is still looking for it."
"Oh? That's great, Mark, I want to play John Cowley, what do you think? ”
Steve's eyes lit up with an eager fire.
"Okay, I'll take you to the director tomorrow. But now, with the burger on the table, shouldn't you go to dinner? ”
"What, Mark, I want to go to the director now"
