Chapter 743: The Battle of the Protagonists

Zhang Yimou did not force Yang Lin, but gave him ten days, so he had plenty of time to perfect his "We-are-Young" and before that, he had to leave for Hollywood, where a tough battle awaited him.

Los Angeles at the end of June shows its charming. The sky was cloudless, and the bright sun sprinkled the land, making everyone wear cool summer clothes. Looking at the street from the street, there are all handsome men and women wearing sunglasses, this is Hollywood, not just the Hollywood of movies!

Located in West Hollywood, this street is lined with trendy clothing stores, restaurants and cafes. At night, it's a different story, with nightclubs and discotheques attracting hordes of young people to the bustling neon lights. You can often see a lot of Hollywood stars on this street, but the business places are far away, so it is necessary to take a taxi or borrow a car to get there.

This time, Yang Lin's destination is no longer Paramount, but another famous film company, Warner Bros. The film "Inception" is produced by Warner Bros., the director is naturally Christopher Nolan, and the executive producer is his wife Emma Thomas. The videographer is Nolan's best buddy and his most important companion, Valley Pfister; And the soundtrack artist who proposed the invitation is Hans Zimmer, a well-known Hollywood master.

These people are all famous in Hollywood, and all of them are gathered together, which can be described as a super power combination, and the other actor combinations are also particularly touching.

Nolan's "Batman: The Dark Knight" is being released around the world, and this superhero blockbuster has repeatedly broken film records and suppressed Yang Lin's "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4".

Now that "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" has been drawn in all directions, only a few countries are still showing it because it was introduced relatively late, but it is of little use to the total box office. In nearly 40 days, "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" swept $300 million at the box office in North America and received a total of 870 million worldwide. That's already a very big honor for a sequel film with a gap of 19 years.

If there is no "Batman: The Dark Knight", perhaps this "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" can continue the glory of its predecessor and become the champion of the annual box office list, after all, the box office of more than 800 million is not so easy to achieve.

But I happened to meet Nolan, a freak, and the box office revenue of "The Batman" in the opening weekend set a new record of 100 million dollars in film history! surpassed the record of 151 million set by Yang Lin's "Transformers" in three days in June 2007. A miracle was created in June, when the vast expanse was gathered. Furthermore. The film also broke nine other box office records, creating a new movie legend and becoming the brightest star of this year's summer season, and even Dr. Jones had to give way.

Yang Lin's two movies were actually crushed. And he is going to participate in this movie, and the topic xing is naturally different.

At this time, Nolan and his wife are also particularly entangled, whether to use their confidant Christian Bale, or choose the actor Leonardo whom they have always admired. Or Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks. They didn't take Yang Lin into account at all, and the previous list of candidates who listed him as the second male number one was because they liked his acting skills and potential. But I didn't expect him to be so uninteresting, and he actually wanted to compete for the starring role.

Yang Lin didn't know that his move would make the Nolans have a big impression of him, but even if he knew, he would still do it. It's rare to have a few fights in life, so when will you wait if you don't fight at this time? He doesn't want to be the second male lead in Hollywood movies all the time, all he has to do is to star!

The innovative artist agency assigned Yang Lin two bodyguards, a makeup artist, and an agent, which is the team he is ready to compete for the protagonist. Such a shabby team also shows the heart of an innovative artist agency, and they are not optimistic about Yang Lin at all. I don't think it will be him who will become the star of the movie.

Similarly, Tom Hanks and Leonardo, who are also signed with innovative artist agencies, have much more pomp, but this is also related to their status, one of them is an Oscar-winning actor, and the other is the starring role of the highest-grossing film to date. Jack and Ruth back then are still impressive. Both men are members of some of Hollywood's top actors, the so-called $20 million club.

"Don't envy them, according to your current development, at the latest in three years. You'll have a chance to step into their ranks. Cook, Yang Lin's American economist, patted him on the shoulder and said in an affirmative tone.

Cook has a pair of pale blue eyes. looks like glass beads, which is particularly attractive, and his height of 1.91 meters makes Yang Lin quite embarrassed, he is the most handsome of the agents.

Nodding understandingly, Yang Lin whispered in Chinese: "But what I want is not three years." He and Cook walked side by side on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, attracting many tourists to watch, looking at the posture of the two of them, it seems that they really look like two stars.

When I arrived at Nolan's designated audition place, Studio 12 of Universal Studios, it was already overcrowded, and the staff were setting up the venue...... A large cavern with a high ceiling and black sè walls is divided into areas by thin white sè latticework. More than 100 high-altitude lights hang in the air, and below is a layer of soft cloth and a layer of silk, and the light cast is xing, clean, and without yin shadow.

"Hello, we're actors who came to audition. This is Yang Lin, he was notified, the protagonist Cobb. There is no doubt that Cook is an excellent agent, and he preemptively explained everything in short sentences before Yang Lin.

The black woman holding the folder looked at Yang Lin, spread out the photo in her hand again, and after confirming that it was correct, she smiled at Yang Lin and nodded, and said, "Okay, please come with me, all the people who came to audition today are the protagonists." The rest of the corners had been completely chosen a few days before. ”

Yang Lin's heart suddenly tightened, he had no way out. Before, he still had a little bit of luck, even if he couldn't grab the leading actor, he could still play the second male lead. But now, the second male lead has been taken down by Joseph Gordon, and the female number one dream builder has been won by Alan Peggy.

In this way, Yang Lin can only fight in a battle, he can't retreat, there is an abyss behind him!

"This is director Nolan and cinematographer Pfister, they're talking about something, you can wait a minute. There's coffee here and the rest of the drinks, do you need some? ”

Yang Lin took a deep breath, and he suppressed the tension in his heart. He remembered how long it had been since he felt the presence of such a thing as nervousness, and he thought he had completely discarded the emotion.

He put a stiff smile on his face and said politely, "Give me a cup of coffee!" ”

Cook waited until the rest of the people walked over, then sat down beside Yang Lin very unhappily, leaned over and said in his ear, "You are not a newcomer anymore. Nervous or something shouldn't be, all you have to do is one thing, that is, show your acting skills, maybe you can hit the Oscars! Your acting skills are your best tool, and you must be good at using them. Now you're nervous, give me a relaxed image. ”

While he was talking, a familiar figure broke into Yang Lin's eyes, Leonardo walked in in a suit, his slightly vicissitudes of life on his face with the marks of wind and frost, and he was no longer the Jack in people's memory. Even though he tried hard to prove his acting skills, Oscar never accepted him.

It's just that this heartthrob also has several actors, such as the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, the Berlin Film Festival Best Actor, the Screen Actors Guild Best Actor Award, etc., all of which show that he is transforming from an idol to a powerful one.

Uncle Lai, who was in a suit and leather shoes, was a little surprised when he saw Yang Lin, after all, the male protagonist in the script, Cobb, is a middle-aged man with a wife who fell in love but died, and a lovely daughter. He felt that Yang Lin was no more than twenty-five years old now, and it might be too difficult to play the role of Cobb.

So he had a preconceived idea that Yang Lin was the actor of the second male "sentinel" in the movie, so he gently stroked his hair and said to Yang Lin: "I hope we can cooperate happily in the movie." ”

Leonardo's series of actions made Yang Lin not know what to deal with, and it was obvious that he recognized the wrong person. In order not to fall behind before the audition, Yang Lin could only stand up, shook hands and said: "It is impossible for the two of us to appear in the movie at the same time, because we are both here to grab the protagonist." ”

Yang Lin's cheerfulness aroused his interest, so he sat directly next to Yang Lin and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just finished filming "Shutter Island", and I don't know the situation here. If it's offended, it's my fault. ”

His apology made Yang Lin feel that this person was quite sincere, he didn't have a superstar frame at all, and he was a friend worth making friends with.

For today's outbreak, I didn't sleep for a minute at night and went straight all night. I still have to climb Qingcheng Mountain during the day, but I don't rest at all, which makes it difficult to persevere. There's no way my codeword speed is too slow, more than 1,000 words an hour, if I want to write 20,000 words, can you help me calculate the time?

A lot of readers always ask me for updates from professional writers, or even when others are at their strongest, and I think it's unfair, I'm just an amateur. Has anyone ever seen an amateur player outperform Liu Xiang and which one beat Yao Ming?
