Chapter 141: Movie Casting 2/2
If you want to shoot a film, you must first find an excellent director, Wang Zixuan is reading these profiles on the table, all the director's resumes who are interested in directing "Mean Girl" and "Magic Cinderella" are all here, Wang Zixuan wants to select two people from this pile of documents.
Fortunately, the directors of the two films in the previous life, Mark Walters and Tommy O. Harvo, also applied, and Wang Zixuan definitely chose them for two reasons, the first is that since the two films in the previous life were shot by them, they can also do it well now; The second is that they are not very famous directors like Spielberg, some decisions, mainly in Xuanyuan Pictures, after all, famous directors are not easy to manage, these two directors who are not red and green are just right.
In fact, the reason for not using those well-known directors is very simple, it is easier to say in terms of recruiting actors, Xuanyuan Pictures has complete production rights, if you shoot well, you will continue to shoot, if you don't shoot well, please get out, and some plot processing Wang Zixuan can also modify or remove according to his own wishes, such as the plot of Lindsay's kiss, which is generally filmed in Hollywood, but although Wang Zixuan did not accept Lindsay, he still didn't want to see her kiss with other people, so he kissed in a misplaced way.
The two directors have chosen, Xuanyuan Pictures notified them of the official work, and Wang Zixuan chose the actors of the film together, and Xuanyuan Pictures stated that Wang Zixuan has complete right to choose, in short, the actors in Wang Zixuan's picture can pass the audition, and the two directors can only give advice, of course, they also have the right to choose their own actors, but in the event of a dispute with Wang Zixuan's candidates, they can only give up their choice, this is the benefit of ordinary directors, everything is up to us.
That's so, but you can't be too disrespectful of other directors' opinions, after all, they are still pointing to other people to shoot movies, first of all, Wang Zixuan and Mark began to screen the film actors of "Mean Girl", compared to "Magic Cinderella", this film is more brilliant, after all, most of the excitement of "Magic Cinderella" comes from the theme of fantasy and innocence, and lacks the grasp of character building and plump plot.
In order to facilitate the interview, Wang Zixuan and Mark directly set up a work area for recruiting actors in a café near the actors' guild, and of course they inevitably had to pay a usage fee to the coffee owner.
When Wang Zixuan notified the start of the audition, a large number of beautiful girls poured in, completely blocking the street where the café was located, there was no way, there was no way, it could only be like this, Wang Zixuan looked at the queue of more than a hundred people, and had a headache, he didn't expect his appeal to be so big, and this number was still gradually increasing, he had already known to change places, I don't know if the police gentlemen would trouble him for a while, after all, the road was blocked.
"Hehe, it's normal, everyone values your script, the success of "Happiness Terminal" gives them hope, many girls and boys have a dream of stardom, they feel that they are only one step away from reaching that throne, and this ladder is an excellent film, however, we have to choose the actors carefully, and there can be no mercy, because it involves the quality of our future films...... "Mark said with a smile.
Wang Zixuan nodded, beckoned to the owner of the café, and said, "Boss, it seems that you can't run a business today, so we will charter this place today, but you still have to supply coffee, you can go to Xuanyuan Pictures to ask for rent." ”
"Ok, there's no problem, anything can be solved with money...... the fat boss said with a smile.
After taking over the entire café, Mark asked the staff to bring in all the actors who were auditioning so that they didn't block the road.
"Okay, let's get started, the first one, Celia Collins." Wang Zixuan looked at the resume in his hand and said......
A blonde girl with freckles on her face walked up to Wang Zixuan and Mark and said: "Screenwriter Robert, Director Mark Hello, I'm Celia Collins, I'm from New York, currently studying in a private middle school, I'm sixteen years old, I want to audition for the female No. 2 school flower Regina George ......"
"Ok, hello, Celia, have you had any acting experience before?" Mark asked.
"I played a lot of roles in school dramas, and I am very confident in acting, and I believe that I can do any ......role poorly," Celia said confidently.
Wang Zixuan couldn't help but be stunned, I'm dizzy, do you believe you can? Also any role? Is it good to be a little humble, feel good about yourself, and come up with something practical, and...... In other words, your appearance is really not good, of course, I am not discriminatory, but the female number two had better be a little bit of a posture, I'm sorry my script is okay, but you don't want the audience, where does my box office come from?
Mark nodded and said, "Then can you show your acting skills, for example, when you know that the female number one Katie made you eat fat chocolate, how do you show your anger?" ”
Celia nodded, her eyes widened, staring fiercely at Wang Zixuan and Mark, and deliberately let out a sound of air in her nose......
Wang Zixuan couldn't help but shake his head, drawing a snake to add to it, the previous fierce expression was very good, but do you need to breathe out of your nose? And the expression is too fake, it makes people look at it on purpose, and I have had stage experience, I'm dizzy, it's the stage experience of a supporting role, right?
Mark was not very satisfied, coughed, and said, "Miss Celia, you can go back, leave a chat with the staff on the side, and wait for the notice." ”
Celia said excitedly: "Then I passed, great......"
Wang Zixuan couldn't help beating his chest, I really admire you, do you understand something? That's passed, then how do you mix the people behind you, let you leave your contact information, one means that you have been eliminated, and the other means that it needs to be examined, and it will be decided later, is your IQ low?
Mark coughed again and said, "No, no, we need to compare the other auditioners before we can be sure, you need to wait a little longer to get the news, okay, you can go home and wait for our news......"
"Oh, that's good, but I think you should choose me, after all, I'm really good, I just had a good live show......" Celia said with her flat chest straight.
I pour!! A few black lines appeared on Wang Zixuan and Mark's foreheads, God, you are amazing, such people have been created by you, your mind is really "broad", too "fraternity", I will go to it, can you make her more "humorous"?
Mark finally couldn't take it anymore, waved at the staff next to him, and took Celia down.
"The second one, Kathy Betty, please come over for an interview...... Wang Zixuan said as he looked at the list in his hand, hoping that the second one would not be too "shocking".
This second girl is delicate, but her face is always shy.
"You...... Hello, I'm ...... I'm Kathy, please ...... Advice......" Casey said as she looked at Wang Zixuan shyly.
Mark frowned a little and said, "Hello, Kathy, I'm Mark, the director of this film, are you uncomfortable?" If not, please try to relax yourself and believe in yourself, the world is very fair, the first person has the right to choose, provided that you have the courage to express yourself, like the girl named Celia just now, although her information is not perfect, but she has the courage to express herself, which is also a kind of success......"
Wang Zixuan nodded, indeed, although the girl just now had some problems with her "IQ", but she dared to express herself to let everyone know her style characteristics, that is...... She can't do it at all, and even so, the courage to express her thinking is still a success.
Casey nodded shyly, plucked up the courage and said, "Well, I know, hello, I'm Casey, I'm seventeen years old this year, and I live in Los Angeles, please give me a lot of advice." ”
"Hello Kathy, I'm Mark, look, it's easy to express yourself, don't be afraid to express yourself, okay, now can you tell us about your acting experience?" Mark nodded.
Casey thought for a moment and said, "When I was a child, I played Snow White and Little Velvet Hat......
Wang Zixuanxin said, sure enough, alas, in addition to such a Lori role that will fall down, she shouldn't be able to play other roles, she shouldn't be suitable for this film, after all, the girls in "Mean Girl" all have "surnames", she is only shy, although she is beautiful, but the characteristics of the surname must be too far away.
Mark nodded: "Then can you show your pride, for example, how do you show your superiority in the face of Katie, the 'dirt bun' who has just returned from Africa?" ”
Casey nodded, thought for a moment, and then raised her little head, trying to make a proud look, her round little face bulged into a small bun, domineering or nothing at all, cute but perfect.
Wang Zixuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Ya, little beauty, are you showing your arrogance, why is your cuteness so tempting, and it is really powerful???
Mark waved his hand helplessly and said: "I think, there is no role for you, Casey, you know, you are more cute and proud, if you want to play the role in it, unless you can change yourself, I think there will be other films suitable for you." ”
Casey pursed her lips in frustration, nodded, and said to Wang Zixuan: "I know, can I make a request, I want a personal autograph from Prince Robert, this is another reason why I came to audition......"
Wang Zixuan nodded and said, "Ok, no problem, I'm happy to ......"
"Thank you so much, please write it on it for the beautiful and lovely Miss Casey, I wish her happiness forever......" Casey blushed and put a delicate card in Wang Zixuan's hand, and the card was printed on Wang Zixuan's personal show.
Wang Zixuan quickly wrote his blessing and his name on it, then hugged Casey and said, "Thank you for liking me and supporting me......"
Casey hugged Wang Zixuan's body tightly excitedly, and only let go after a while, boldly kissed Wang Zixuan's face, and then ran away with a blushing face......
"Haha, this time she really overcame her timidity, you are lucky......" Mark said to Wang Zixuan with a smile.
"Hehe......" Wang Zixuan could only shake his head helplessly, there was no way to counterattack the fans...... (To be continued.) )
