Chapter 252: Characters

readx;?β€œ Wait, Terry, you mean to say Orlando isn't a good fit for Will. The role of Turner? A middle-aged man with thin cheeks and sharp eyes asked with a frown. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Terry. RocΓ­o spread his hands and said, "I'm not saying he's not suitable for this role, but I think we can maybe broaden our horizons and not necessarily limit ourselves to just a few roles, maybe we will meet better ones in the audition." ”

The middle-aged man sitting in the boss's chair just now talking was none other than Jerry Brown, the gold medal producer of Civilized Hollywood and the producer of this "Pirates of the Caribbean". Bruckheimer, and what they are discussing now is the selection of Wiltner, the second male lead in the film.

Originally, they had reached a consensus on the question of who would play Wiltner in this film, that is, to choose a British actor, but after Terry returned from the World Cup, especially after he communicated with Lin Zhimo, his thinking changed a little.

Terry began to wonder if he could make Wiltner's character more contextualized in the film, even if the film didn't do well at the box office, and try to add as much content as possible to make it seem more plausible.

Of course, as a fantasy movie, there is no need to ask how scientifically logical it is, but Terry is also very willing to try to add some other interesting things to the film.

However, although he is already the screenwriter of the film, Terry is not able to do this kind of thing, especially since this screenwriter is still him and his friend Ted. Elliott co-wrote the case. So he first discussed his idea with Ted, and after the two reached a consensus. They came to the producer Bruckheimer, and only after passing through Bruckheimer's place did he plan to go to the film's director, Gore. Yabinski.

But he hasn't shared his opinion with Bruckheimer. The other party told him that he had intended to let the British student Orlando Bloom play this role, because the requirements for the role were formulated by them a long time ago, and Orlando Bloom also fit some of their previous conditions.

But now Terry has reversed the previous decision, much to Bruckheimer's displeasure.

"Do you mean to make casting public?" Bruckheimer asked, frowning at Terry.

Terry thought for a moment and replied, "Actually, it doesn't have to be an open casting, I mean...... Hmmm......"

Hearing Terry's words, Bruckheimer said impatiently, "Terry." If you have anything to say, just say it. ”

Terry glanced at Bruckheimer, gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, I'm going to let you audition." ”

Bruckheimer was taken aback and blurted out a rhetorical question, "? ”

Of course, Bruckheimer is a gold medal producer in the Hollywood film industry, while Lin Zhimo is only half the sky popular in music, so he knows the name. But he only knew that Lin Zhimo was a very talented musician, and he didn't know much about it.

"You mean to have a singer act in a movie?" Bruckheimer didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He couldn't imagine that Terry came to meet with him today to make this request, and at the same time, he thought that Lin Zhimo didn't know how to get into Terry's relationship.

"No, he's not a singer, or he's not just a singer, he's an actor, a screenwriter and a director." Terry explained to Bruckheimer.

"Oh?"

Hearing Terry introduce Lin Zhimo like this, the curiosity in Bruckheimer's heart was also aroused: "You tell me about his experience." ”

When Terry saw Bruckheimer's expression, he knew that there was still hope for this matter, so he told Bruckheimer some things from before Lin Zhimo came to the United States until the two met. When Bruckheimer learned that Lin Zhimo had actually won the best actor at the Berlin Film Festival, he couldn't help but be amazed by Lin Zhimo's versatility.

The more insiders in the entertainment industry are, the more they are amazed by Lin Zhimo's ability. It is because they know very well how difficult it is to be able to do this.

"You mean he's still a screenwriter?" Bruckheimer asked suddenly after listening to Terry's introduction.

"Uh...... Yes. Terry suddenly felt in his heart that he seemed to have said something too much.

Sure enough, as soon as he answered, he saw Bruckheimer's eyes staring at him tightly, his deep eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint light shot out of his eyes: "Then." You and he had a lot of conversations at the World Cup, right? ”

"I think you're mistaken, Jerry, he and I only had a discussion about pirates, and I promise I didn't tell him anything about the film." Hearing Bruckheimer's question, Terry quickly explained.

It's a matter of principle, and Terry would never do it.

Bruckheimer took a deep look at Terry.

Terry was also unafraid to look at Bruckheimer.

Seeing Terry's eyes, Bruckheimer knew that he was suspicious, and according to Terry's personality, he shouldn't be able to do such a thing, so he smiled, waved his hand and said: "Terry, of course I believe you, but I didn't expect that the Chinese named Jem would have such a great charm to let you come to me alone for him." ”

Seeing that Terry's expression was not like action, and even if he really revealed the script, he would not gain anything, so Bruckheimer's expression became more and more relaxed, and he said in an amiable tone: "Did that singer give you any benefits?" ”

Terry was relieved to see that Bruckheimer didn't doubt himself, and explained with a wry smile: "If he hadn't been famous recently, I wouldn't have come here, and it was because of his current fame that I wanted to invite him to audition." ”

Bruckheimer had some doubts in his heart, after all, compared to fame, the elven prince played by Orlando Bloom in "The Lord of the Rings" shines. Commendable. Therefore, Orlando Bloom's reputation is not inferior to Lin Zhimo, and it should be said that it is still excessive. But he had doubts in his heart. His face didn't show it, he just waited quietly for Terry's explanation.

"When the two of us first met at the World Cup, he was just a famous actor in China, but now he has become a household name in the United States, and even children of a few years old can sing a song about him...... He's growing just too fast. Terry sighed.

Hearing Terry's words, Bruckheimer nodded in agreement. As the center of the world economy, the United States is the center of the world, even entertainment is the center of the world. It can be said that if someone makes a name for themselves in the American entertainment industry, then they will gain a group of fans all over the world.

"Now Lin Zhimo's fame just shows one point, that is, Lin Zhimo is by no means an ordinary genius, he is the kind of legendary character with infinite possibilities, I very much want to see what kind of sparks Lin Zhimo will send out if he can join our crew!" Terry said that at the end, his cheeks flushed slightly with excitement, and his mind seemed to sketch the scene after Lin Zhimo joined the crew.

No matter what Terry says. Bruckheimer's expression has not changed as a gold medal filmmaker. He knew when he needed to stay calm.

Although Terry said a lot of good things about Lin Zhimo, Bruckheimer did not have any fluctuations in his heart, because Terry did not talk about the key point for a long time, that is, whether Lin Zhimo's addition can replace Orlando, or how can he do better than Orlando, and be able to bring box office and influence to the film.

Lin Zhimo is still just a rookie who has just entered Hollywood in the end, although he has now become a popular spicy chicken in the music industry, but it is still unknown how much the box office revenue of the movie can be increased. Moreover, Bruckheimer not only needs to consider the quality of the film, but also the concerns of Disney in this regard.

But when he thought of the Disney Company, Bruckheimer had a flash of inspiration. His expression changed suddenly, and he muttered, "Perhaps, it's not impossible......

"What?"

Terry didn't hear Bruckheimer clearly and asked.

"Oh, I mean, if Lin Zhimo can join the crew, then does the script need to be adapted?" Bruckheimer pressed his inner thoughts down and turned to Terry to ask.

"Of course, after all, the gap between the images of Orlando and Lin Zhimo is too big, and the background of this character must be modified." Terry immediately replied, "But no matter how you change it, he won't necessarily be remembered in this film, after all, there are too many scenes of the male lead in this film, and there are not many separate shots of the male lead." If, I mean, if there is a second part of this film, then the plot about him will be possible. ”

"Oh, and do you have any comments on the script that will be revised?" Bruckheimer asked again.

"Huh?" Terry glanced at Bruckheimer in surprise, he didn't expect the other party to ask this sentence, and it seemed that he didn't mean to oppose Lin Zhimo's joining?

However, he still replied: "Actually, I have already made some drafts, but I haven't put pen to paper to revise them yet." But in fact, there are not many changes to be made, and it is estimated that the replacement of the shots in the movie is a matter of a few lines, which will not affect the shooting of the film. ”

Bruckheimer nodded when he heard this, and said to Terry after a deep groan: "In this way, you call Lin Zhimo first to ask if he is interested in starring in this film, and then discuss." ”

Terry was excited when he heard this, and he didn't sit down for a while, and immediately came out of Bruckheimer's office and called Lin Zhimo.

At this time, Lin Zhimo had just finished participating in the recording of the Oprah show.

"Oprah, it's a pleasure to be on your stage again, and I'm very happy to be on the show this time." Lin Zhimo smiled and shook hands with Oprah and said.

"I have to say, JEM, you did a great job on the show just now, and I think we're going to hit a new high in the ratings this time." Oprah is also impressed by Lin Zhimo.

Don't say Lin Zhimo, a Chinese, even some American stars will inevitably have some apprehension in their hearts when facing the recording scene of the Oprah show, and the performance is usually a little abnormal, but just now Lin Zhimo performed humorously and humorously on the stage, full of atmosphere, the whole show can be said to have completed the predetermined goal for a long time, and the atmosphere was also very good.

"I think you should probably be a show host, you have a lot of potential for this." Oprah said again.

"Host?"

Lin Zhimo laughed: "I don't have time to be a host, I'd better do my job first." ”

Although he was happy with Oprah's words of approval, Lin Zhimo would not feel that he was the material to be a host because of this, and even if he had the opportunity to be a host, Lin Zhimo would not do it, he preferred to wander in the virtual world of movies and music.
