On his last week of leaving the U.S. for New Zealand, Daniel and Doug Liman made an appointment for an audition.

He showed his kung fu skills by acting out a few scenes according to the audition script - Chinese independent films sometimes have to incorporate something that interests foreigners, such as Chinese kung fu, if they want to sell money, so it's no surprise that Daniel knows how to do kung fu.

But Doug, producer Robert Rudrum, including casting director Joseph — will show up because there are still two auditions for supporting roles today.

Jason Byrne is a powerful CIA agent, and if Matt Damon is chosen, he will have to learn Filipino boxing. Daniel actually mastered Chinese kung fu, and CIA agents mastered Chinese kung fu? Not only is this not surprising, but it's pretty cool! The CIA agent they were trying to portray -- a magical figure who could do anything, not to mention that Daniel's kung fu was not so Chinese -- in fact, whether it was Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee, they were completely different from the traditional Chinese martial arts born from Taoism, they were either more amusing or more about strength, which is already a Chinese kung fu that integrates Western martial arts.

Daniel made a point of stubble today and looked a few years older than his actual age. In addition to being handsome, there is a little more temperament that belongs to a real man - whether it is exercised in bed or on the battlefield, this temperament is very fascinating to the ladies, their bodies have almost no resistance to this temperament, and at first sight, they want to strip you naked.

A charming agent, isn't it?

Of course, the main thing is that Daniel's performance is very good, he has never played such a role, but he is not inferior to Matt Damon, who has played a soldier several times. In terms of emotional scenes, Daniel has an overwhelming advantage, not compared with Daniel at the monster level, at Damon's age, it is already good to have his current acting skills.

This is indeed a suitable person, and Daniel is a lot cheaper than Damon - at least for now.

In fact, they had heard of Daniel, and after he sent in his resume, Doug even asked Ridley Scott about Daniel.

Ridley gave him an answer that left no doubt.

So today's audition results did not surprise them.

This is also in line with what they envisioned before the audition.

The choice now is that Matt, who is more expensive, full of important film contracts but well-known and safer, is still strong, more cost-effective, and more focused - you must know that after filming "The Lord of the Rings", Daniel has not yet decided on a work, but Daniel is not so reassuring.

The cast of "Spy Shadows" tends to be Matt Damon, Universal is not a small studio, nor is it an independent film company, as Hollywood's oldest film production and distribution company, they don't always think about the good thing of small or box office bombs, and the expected income is what they value most. Of course, this is not at all an indication that they do not have zài fantasies about low-budget and high-margin films, but that a mature company will not let this gambler mentality dominate.

Compared to Daniel, Matt is indeed more trusted.

This is not unrelated to the upcoming "Talented Ripley", which is starring Matt Damon, new Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth, and Jude Delo, Philip Hoffman and Cate Blanchett and other stars in the talented series of films, which tells the story of a boy who falls into seduction, painted on 2307 screens, and won 12.73 million in the first three days, which is not too good results. You must know that "School Blues" had 10 million on the first day - although it was because the topic was hot and overdrafted a part of the audience in advance. But Damon's performance in the movie was still praised by everyone, of course, Jude Delo's was better, but this did not detract from Damon's charm.

And it is generally believed that "The Genius Ripley", with an investment of 40 million, can get more than 80 million at the box office in North America, and at least 120 million worldwide, which is better than "School Blues", which is of course related to the type of movie. In fact, the box office curve of "Campus Blues" is already quite powerful in similar movies.

There is a hit movie that gives Damon a huge advantage in the competition of "Spy Shadow", in fact, he has beaten a large number of B-grade stars and outdated former A-stars.

But even with a tendency, as long as there is no signing, anything can happen, and the choice of the first leading actor of the movie cannot be too cautious.

Therefore, the rest of the matter will be handed over to Kusa first, and let the people of the Damon family "fight" for a while.

Daniel must prepare to fly to New Zealand. He had to be absent from the premiere of "Screaming 3" before, so he called Neve to apologize, but Neve was used to seeing the wind and rain, so he gave him a good explanation. After the change of situation, on the eve of his departure for New Zealand, Neve made a special phone call to talk about the incident, which made Daniel have a very good impression of the actress from the Canadian Ballet who had only one relationship.

Kusa had several rounds of urgent discussions with the crew of "The Lord of the Rings" recently, and Daniel's role had to be concentrated, and he couldn't spend a year there for Legolas's role now.

However, the idea of a month or two to complete the project is also unrealistic.

In the end, the result of the discussion between the two sides was that Daniel joined the group at the end of December, trained for a month, officially started filming at the end of January, and filmed for two months to the end of March, and then Daniel could go to other trips, but in October, Daniel had to return to New Zealand to continue filming for a month and a half to two months, in addition, after the release of the first film, Daniel also needed to participate in a little reshoot.

The main shooting is really squeezed into a large section, which is really unrealistic, but it is not bad to be able to shoot in two periods in one time.

There are still a few months left before Daniel can take on another play or do something else.

This is up to Cusa to think about first.

Daniel took Andy with him and flew from Los Angeles to Wellington. They will then depart from Wellington and head to Queenstown, Ortag.

It's a well-known place to travel.

In fact, most of New Zealand's territory is a travel destination - for different people.

From Wellington to Queenstown, Daniel did a sightseeing train, and the scenery along the way was breathtaking.

The United States is already in winter, while New Zealand is in summer, and everything is vibrant.

According to Peter Jackson's arrangement, Daniel would receive formal training in archery and equestrianism here, and then return to Wellington to learn martial arts, manners, physique, and even a special way of speaking – a more noble, otherworldly, elven way of speaking.

Peter gave Daniel a small welcome party.

Lee Pace, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving and Liv Taylor all filmed here, and he was the last to arrive in the Elven Kingdom.

Peter and Francis were in high spirits at the welcome party, apparently not offended by Daniel's coordination of time.

Daniel wasn't sure if Peter wanted the next collaboration to be enjoyable, or if he could really understand the time demands of a rising Hollywood star.

Anyway, it's a good thing.

Daniel picked up the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and gestured to Francis, who was standing in the distance and talking to Blanchett.
