After listening to Arnold's words, Zhou Shaoming thought about it seriously, and then stopped laughing, when it comes to movies, Zhou Shaoming has always been very serious, and it is precisely because he has always been so strict with himself that his directing ability can continue to improve.

After pondering for a while, Zhou Shaoming said: "Well, I am full of expectations and desires for the protagonist of this movie, and the general story content is just as stated in the script. And what I want to portray in front of the camera, on the screen, is a heroic character who does not change his face in the face of the sea of swords, guns and fire, and impassionedly wants to arouse everyone's fighting spirit. But this character is not just a tough guy temperament that can be seen at a glance, but also has the qualities of an iron-blooded leader, and the Spartans never ask how many enemies there are, just where they are! Of course, iron bones also need tenderness, and at the end of the movie, the nostalgia for his wife must also be just right. ”

Zhou Shaoming said all the thoughts in his heart in one breath, in order to make the movie The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta, Zhou Shaoming also specially went to learn about the history of Sparta.

Sparta is one of the ancient Greek city-states, known for its strict discipline, ducái rule and militarism, the Spartan slavery training system produced a lot of heroic Spartans, they had to be strictly trained when they first stood up, and after the age of ten they joined the Spartan barracks, the captain encouraged them to steal, and even killed if they were discovered, they would be severely punished when they came back, and they were punished with sticks, so that their xingge was resolute.

The film wants to create such an army, and their king must concentrate the strongest forces in one, because it was explained at the beginning of the movie that every Spartan man born will go through a round of selection, and if it is a person with poor physical fitness, he will be strangled in infancy.

Next, as the king of Sparta, he must also be thrown out of the city, let him fight the wolves, fight the cold. Such a saddle lasted for more than ten years, and after more than ten years, the king was able to return to Sparta, and at this time, the king already had absolutely strong force.

Zhou Shaoming wants to shape. It's such a returning king. A king who has gone through countless ups and downs, but also a king who is full of tenderness.

Come back to your senses, Arnold in front of Zhou Shaoming? Schwarzenegger is already waiting for Zhou Shaoming to give him a performance title, and Arnold also knows about this situation. After all, Zhou Shaoming is the man who dares to give Hollywood's acting queen Meryl Streep, and his name has long been resounding in Hollywood, so at this time, Arnold also knows what to do next.

"I know, Smith Chow, I can't wait to be in this movie right now. Of course, please also come up with the performance questions, I hope I can do it! ”

Since Arnold was so direct, Zhou Shaoming had no choice but to say encouragingly: "Okay, since you are already mentally prepared, let's start now." ”

Arnold nodded, and Zhou Shaoming said slowly: "You are now Leonidas, the king of Sparta, and tomorrow you will set foot on the battlefield, and now you are mobilizing with the soldiers for the pre-war war." Say the following words: 'Spartans! Enjoy your breakfast, we're going to Hell for dinner tonight! ’”

After listening to Zhou Shaoming's words, Arnold stood up excitedly, and then his whole face was resolute, and he regarded the world as nothing. It seems that he is facing thousands of troops, and below him are three hundred brave warriors under his command.

Then Arnold spoke, only to hear an indescribable deterrence cast in his voice, almost in a roaring manner: "Spartans! Enjoy your breakfast. Because tonight we're going to hell for dinner! ”

Looking at Arnold's performance, Zhou Shaoming scored Arnold in his heart. On the other hand, the director system was turned on and began to read Arnold's xing.

"Name: Arnold? Schwarzenegger

Appearance: 78

Stature: 90

Acting: 80

Potential: 60

Glamour: 90

Wisdom: 85

Opinion: 50

Comprehensive evaluation: This is an actor who has passed his prime, and once won the love of the audience with his excellent figure. Although it is still quite popular, it is not recommended to use it as a main character.

In fact, Zhou Shaoming's feeling in his heart is similar to the comments of the director's system, although Arnold is one of Hollywood's legendary stars, but legends have a long history, so Zhou Shaoming also feels that Arnold is not very suitable to play Leonidas, because Leonida's age is only in his thirties, and Arnold is now fifty-four years old, although he is still full of muscles, but the two are not the same age at all.

And judging from Arnold's performance just now, although there is a high atmosphere that is about to go to the battlefield, there seems to be something missing in the voice, if you really want to say it, it is vitality, a kind of vitality that young people should have, and what Arnold lacks now is this vitality.

In fact, when selecting actors before, Zhou Shaoming felt that Arnold was a little old, so he put him in third place, and the best actor in his mind, Hugh? Jackman, not only because he is a popular Hollywood actor, Zhou Shaoming is more interested in the other party's youth, that feeling of infinite vitality, just like the Spartan robe, if the flame is active.

Zhou Shaoming can now imagine that when the fifty-four-year-old Arnold wears the suit he designed, it will be such a scene.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shaoming said to Arnold with a face full of apologies: "You are an admirable actor, I believe that you will not only succeed in the film industry, but also in any industry." I'm sorry you're a little older than my protagonist. I wonder if I think you can be governor of the United States, will you think I'm telling a joke? ”

Outside of this, Arnold would be disappointed or have other reactions, but contrary to Zhou Shaoming's expectations, after hearing Zhou Shaoming's rejection, Arnold just smiled heartily, and then said: "I also know that in fact, when I read this script, I felt that it was not suitable for this role." Although I'm still not convinced of old age, the current Jing power is really far worse than when I was younger. Politics? When is the governor of the United States? Haha, if someone else told me, I would have thought he was crazy, but if the director of the scene suggested it to me, I would really think about it, after all, I am fifty-four years old, and I can't do action movies for a lifetime. ”

Listening to Arnold's straightforward words, Zhou Shaoming also smiled, and then said: "I'm really embarrassed, I hope that next time I have the opportunity to make peace with you, this time I let you run for nothing." ”

Arnold shook his head, and then smiled: "It's okay, in fact, what I have to do tomorrow afternoon is to audition for the crew of "The Sixth RI", and this movie is also planned to start filming during this time, so I will come to you in such a hurry, if I can play the Spartan Three Hundred Warriors, I will refuse tomorrow's arrangement, but now it seems that there is no need for that." ”

Arnold shook his head regretfully, but his face was still very calm, he had been in Hollywood for a long time, he naturally saw too much, and he didn't pay attention to the unsuccessful audition.

Zhou Shaoming saw the sincerity of what people said, so he said with a smile: "Well, then congratulations in advance on your next movie being a big hit, I hope that the day you become governor, remember that I suggested it to you!" ”

"Haha, it must be! Then I'll take my leave. With that, Arnold stood up directly, shook hands with Zhou Shaoming, and walked towards the door, and Zhou Shaoming faced his childhood idol, so he naturally sent it all the way to the door of the company.

After finally solving this matter, Zhou Shaoming's tasks will be much less, and the only people to see next are Bruce and Hugh? Jackman, among the two, determine one of them to be his own protagonist.

"Hugh? Jackman, 190cm tall, jumped from a raw face to the ranks of Hollywood superstars with his role as "Wolverine" in X-Men, and he impressed people not only for his handsome image, but also for his strong body and brave performance, which added a bit of a sense of character to his tough image. ”

"In the meantime, Hugh? Jackman also has solid acting experience, and a background in TV performances, and sounds like Mel? Gibson, who looks like a younger version of Clint? Eastwood. "X-Man" became a sensation in the summer of 2000 and propelled Jackman to the very top of the superstars. ”

After reading this paragraph about Hugh? Jackman's introduction, coupled with Zhou Shaoming's impression in his own memory, Zhou Shaoming probably already knows something about Jackman.

If Zhou Shaoming is not mistaken, before the filming of X-Man, he was still just an unknown figure, at this time he has just begun to take the first step of superstardom, and now it is a good choice to find him to cooperate in filming, it is obvious, Hugh Jackman is different from Gerald, he will become more and more popular after ri, one movie is more successful than the other, compared to the reality that Gerald climbed to the peak and slipped down, choosing Hugh Jackman must be a sure win, It is quite beneficial for the launch of the follow-up film of Supernova Pictures.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shaoming was almost sure that Leonidas's horn would be handed over to Hugh? Jackman will play, but the necessary test will still be needed.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shaoming dropped his thoughts and started his own work, because the main staff of the previous crew had already arrived in the company, so Zhou Shaoming began to plan to change his previous crew, not how many people to change, but the makeup artist Robin and the assistant director had to be replaced by another person, and there was nothing else to change.
