Chapter 254: Interview
The next morning, Lin Zhimo came to the interview location wearing a white practice uniform. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although it was said to be the interview location, in fact, Lin Zhimo was the only one who came to the interview.
The interview room was a spacious conference room, and three middle-aged men sat in front of the wall facing the door. RocΓo.
Terry was stunned when he saw Lin Zhimo coming in in a set of practice clothes, he didn't know why Lin Zhimo chose to dress like this, but despite the doubts in his heart, he still smiled at Lin Zhimo and said, "Lin, let me introduce you." β
As he spoke, he pointed to the slightly chubby middle-aged man sitting in the middle and said, "This is the director of this film, Gore. Mr. Vibinski. β
Then he pointed to the long-faced man on the far right and said, "This is Jerry, the producer of this film. Mr. Bruckheimer. β
Lin Zhimo greeted the two of them one by one.
The current Hollywood film system determines that the casting of a film must be coordinated by the production company, the director and the actors, and only when all three parties agree can the casting be completed; This is different from in China, where many times the producer is just a housekeeper, responsible for the use of money for the film, and the casting is more left to the director.
Director Gore and producer Jerry are as puzzled as Terry about Lin Zhimo's dress, after all, most actors wear formal clothes when they come to audition, in order to leave a calm and good impression on the person in charge of the film, and few actors will dress like Lin Zhimo.
However, the social atmosphere in the United States is very open after all, so although they all felt strange about Lin Zhimo's dress, they did not have a big reaction.
"I think Terry told you the details when you came this time, and now I'd like to ask you what you think about Wiltner's character?" Director Gorvibinsky asked directly.
Before Lin Zhimo arrived, Terry had already told Gore and Bruckheimer about his idea, and he specifically mentioned that if Lin Zhimo would play Wiltner. What kind of changes will you make?
Lin Zhimo also chose to come in in a practice uniform precisely because he learned about it, he originally planned to wear a suit, and only change into a practice uniform when he showed his difference from other actors, but because Terry had already told his opinion to the director, Lin Zhimo finally chose to come to the audition directly in the practice uniform.
According to Terry's latest idea, Will is obviously an ancient Chinese from the Eastern world in the film, and this identity will not be welcomed by British society at that time. Not to mention for an official family like Elizabeth, so there is already a very violent conflict in Will's identity. β
Lin Zhimo did not have any stage fright in the face of several people, and said eloquently: "Later, Will relied on his love for Elizabeth to rescue her regardless of his own danger, which reflects a kind of pursuit of love beyond his identity......"
Lin Zhimo said his understanding of Wiltner freely.
I have to say that Lin Zhimo, as a screenwriter, has an understanding of a script that is far beyond that of others, and in terms of this paragraph alone, Lin Zhimo's understanding of Will has surpassed that of many actors.
If he didn't know who Terry was, Goldie Pinsky would even think that Terry had taught him this passage. The same goes for Jerry Bruckheimer on one side. If you put aside Lin Zhimo's identity as a Chinese, from the perspective of this understanding alone, Lin Zhimo is definitely worthy of the identity of the Berlin actor.
Goldie Pinsky appreciated Lin Zhimo's understanding very much, but he knew that the final decision on whether to be played by Lin Zhimo was not all in his hands, so he made a color to Jerry, meaning to ask the other party's opinion.
Bruckheimer saw Goldy Binsky's hints. So he said to Lin Zhimo: "I heard that you are also a kung fu master. β
Lin Zhimo nodded and said, "Yes, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. β
Bruckheimer nodded, then suddenly asked, "Your kung fu is like Bruce Lee." Or ......"
"My kung fu is more realistic, but I also have a little bit of experience on how to perform better in the film." Lin Zhimo naturally knew what Bruckheimer meant.
Chinese kung fu is not only some flower fists and embroidered legs specially used for performances, but also some lethal martial arts born from real fighting, and Bruce Lee was a representative of the perfect performance of real kung fu in movies. Lin Zhimo said this means that he himself also has real kung fu, not a performative "kung fu master".
Bruckheimer's question is not without purpose, he knows that if Lin Zhimo is really the second male lead, then there will definitely be scenes in the film that let Lin Zhimo perform Chinese kung fu, after all, American audiences like this genre, and in the future publicity. Lin Zhimo is even more impossible, and he has to use kung fu to promote it as a gimmick.
Now hearing Lin Zhimo's answer, Bruckheimer knew that the other party had understood the deep meaning of his question, and he was more satisfied with Lin Zhimo's mind in his heart. But he is a producer though. But after all, Disney is the main investor in this movie, so he smiled and said: "Okay, in this case, you can go back first, and we will notify you immediately if there is news." β
Lin Zhimo was stunned when he heard this, he thought that Bruckheimer would let himself behave, but who knew that he just asked himself like this and stopped continuing to investigate, then this dress was worn in vain.
"Is it ......?"
Lin Zhimo suddenly thought of a reason, the other party was so perfunctory to himself, unless he didn't intend to hand over the role of Wiltner to himself.
Just when Lin Zhimo was thinking so, he saw Terry make a gesture to himself, so he suppressed his doubts and retreated.
After Lin Zhimo went out, Terry immediately asked, "How do you feel about Lin Zhimo?" β
Gorjabinsky was also very puzzled by Bruckheimer's practice of not even letting Lin Zhimo perform just now: "Jerry, what do you think? β
Jerry Bruckheimer pushed the ball back to Gore: "Shouldn't this sentence be asked to you, you are the director." β
Gore smiled: "I'm quite satisfied with him, whether it's the understanding of the character or the kind of temperament on his body, I like it very much." β
Bruckheimer spread his hands: "Isn't this okay, since the other party is a Berlin actor, then there is no need to talk about the performance, now the key is to look at the ideas of Disney's top management, but ......"
Bruckheimer had an unfathomable smile on his face: "But I estimate that there is an eighty percent chance of passing." β
