Chapter 394: Where is Bryce
However, Lin Yuquan soon couldn't laugh, because he had a problem in the selection of Bryce's actors, not Bryce when he was a child, Bryce was a good choice when he was a child, and it was Nathan who was finally selected by him to play this role. Gan Bao, a representative of boy stars who may not be famous overseas, but in the United States, his father is a theater director, he only began to enter the showbiz to shoot movies in 06, and immediately won the Young Artist Award for his first film "Babel", and then won the award again last year with the movie "The Mist", and starred in Christopher. Nolan's Batman 2: The Dark Knight.
This is indeed a child with excellent acting talent, although he is ten years old, but boys generally develop late, so his height is not a problem at all, after seeing his excellent performance, Lin Yuquan and Kevin. Garnett and others unanimously agreed that he was a great candidate for Bryce as a child.
In addition, there is another one called Ryan. Kezeler's child is good, he has a special 2B flavor, if he plays Bryce as a child, it may make the movie picture have a rather interesting effect, but unfortunately he is young, and the lack of height is obviously an obstacle.
When he was a child, Bryce's candidate was quickly selected, and then the young Bryce's candidate gave Lin Yuquan a special headache, not that it was difficult to choose, but that he had no choice at all, none of the people who participated in the audition were satisfied with him, in his conception, Bryce in his youth should be a handsome blonde hair, handsome face, and talented young man, otherwise how could he get the school girl Shirley's like, and at the same time he looked shy, introverted, and wooden, and he never understood Julie. Baker's heart for him.
What disappointed Lin Yuquan was. Come and audition for the actor of Teenage Bryce. Among them, there are several acting skills that are superb among young actors of the same age. However, none of them matched the image and temperament of Bryce in his vision.
"Okay, time is precious, continue to audition, and discuss it at lunchtime." Lin Yuquan quickly decided that he had to complete the audition for the main actor today, but there was not much delay in the audition.
"Okay, boss." Amanda. Pacino nodded.
The next audition was Julie. Baker's two older brothers, after completing all the auditions for teenage roles. The morning audition is also over, and there will be an hour and 20 minutes of lunch at noon before the scheduled afternoon audition, followed by the afternoon audition.
With the end of the auditions for the roles of teenagers and children, the first floor of the café suddenly became quiet, but this does not mean that there is no one here, although there is still a long time before the afternoon audition, there are already many auditioners who have come here in advance, and people they know gather together and drink coffee. While chatting, the topics they talked about were basically with Lin Yuquan. Related to "Heartbeat".
When Lin Yuquan and Kevin. When Garnett and the four walked downstairs, they immediately attracted the attention of the actors and agents present, and then everyone got up in unison and greeted Lin Yuquan, and the café immediately resounded with words similar to "Good afternoon, director".
Although Lin Yuquan had seen the list of audition actors, when he saw one of them in the café, he was still secretly surprised, but he smiled quietly on the surface: "Good afternoon, everyone, everyone is really early enough, there is still more than an hour before the afternoon audition!" ”
"It's not early, a little time in advance, just to prepare for the audition, no one wants to miss the opportunity to star in "Heartbeat"." A gentle female voice sounded, speaking a middle-aged woman with bright red hair, although her appearance had long passed the age of refinement, but her elegant temperament made her whole person look extraordinarily attractive.
"I didn't expect my movie to have such a big charm, it seems that I may be able to discuss the salary with Ms. Moore and you at that time, otherwise with Ms. Moore's starring value, I can't afford a movie that only needs a supporting actress." Lin Yuquan said with a smile, this woman he called Ms. Moore was the one who made him secretly surprised before, and the reason for the surprise was not only because the other party was very big, but also because the other party was an actress he particularly liked.
For liking each other, of course, not because of the other party's appearance, not only now, in fact, in Hollywood, where there are so many beautiful women, the other party has never belonged to a group of young and beautiful people, except for a passionate red hair, her appearance does not look amazing, it can only be regarded as ordinary, the reason for liking her is that the other party has a nuanced portrayal of the role, she has never been a high-paid actress, but she is definitely a good actor.
Julianne. Moore, this is her name, a fan who has a long-term interest in Hollywood must be familiar with the name, she is known as Hollywood's top acting actress, and also enjoys the reputation of "independent film queen" for often receiving independent films and literary films, and has previously been nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress three times with "Love to the End", "Far from Heaven", and "All the Time", and the next two films have won the Venice Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival.
"Okay, if I'm lucky enough to be there, I'm not paid as much as the director thinks." Julianne. Moore said half-seriously, half-jokingly.
"OK, that's it." Lin Yuquan smiled slightly, then looked at the others and said, "Let's take a little rest for the time being, busy with the audition in the morning, forgive me for not being able to accompany you more now." ”
Lin Yuquan was actually very interested in sitting down with Julianne. Moore talks about acting, but it's clearly not a good time.
"Okay, director, it's important to fill your stomach with lunch." Julianne. Moore said with a smile.
Lin Yuquan smiled again and said that after a while, he and Kevin. Garnett and the others left.
As soon as Lin Yuquan left, the café fell into a relatively quiet atmosphere again, because the actors who auditioned in the afternoon were all middle-aged and above, and even if they talked, they would not be as chaotic as many children were present in the morning.
Except Julianne. Outside Moore, the people who came to the café in advance were all second- and third-tier actors. Moore was once again the center of attention, and the eyes of the crowd who were talking or resting fell on her from time to time. The look is indescribably complicated.
Two of the actresses smiled wryly. and Julianne. Moore competes with such a famous actress. How can it not be a headache, and secretly slander in my heart why the other party would come to grab a supporting role with them that does not have many scenes.
Julianne. Moore didn't care about this, she never chose to make movies based on box office potential and the number of scenes or the type of role, she just wanted to make the movie she wanted to make, nothing more. As some film critics have said, she is the kind of maverick, and over the years, she has played a variety of completely different roles such as bad girls, drug dealers, crazy women, cheaters, out-of-fashion actresses, and homosexuals. And the reason why I participated in the audition for one of the scenes in "Heartbeat" this time is that there are not many supporting roles. The reason is not complicated at all, she is very curious about what kind of person the all-round genius director Kung Fu Lin is who is now popular all over the world, so she wants to cooperate with Kung Fu Lin.
The waiting time passed minute by minute, and when a middle-aged woman with long black hair, a tall figure and a long red dress entered the café, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the café
"Hello, Sandra, long time no see, you're welcome to audition." Lin Yuquan looked at him with a smile, and his appearance may not be beautiful. But the overall temperament is particularly attractive Sandra. Bullock, he and the other party had a conversation on the red carpet of the 78th Oscars two years ago. It was his first time at the Oscars, and when he was on the red carpet, he took the initiative to find Sandra. Bullock chats, for a very simple reason, because he likes Sandra. Bullock, a well-known Hollywood spokesperson for the silly big sister character type.
Of course, the liking here does not refer to the kind of liking between men and women, but the kind of movies he likes each other to appear in. He was deeply impressed by Reeves's brilliant performance in "The Speed of Life and Death".
"Hello, Lin, I haven't seen you for two years, and you're getting more and more handsome." Sandra. Bullock said with a charming smile, and secretly sighed in his heart that in just two years, the status of her and the other party has changed dramatically.
At that time, Kung Fu Lin was just a high-profile and rapidly rising director star, and today, the other party, who has made four consecutive films with a good commercial reputation, has become a well-deserved commercial director, not only that, but the other party is also a top rich man with an amazing net worth, the author of tens of millions of best-selling novels, and has great influence in the world.
As for her, instead of making persistent efforts to reach a higher level with "Crash", she has shown an overall downward trend due to the word-of-mouth and box office of several works she starred in one after another, as well as her age. One is in the middle of the day, the other is in the waning mountains, such a stark contrast, how can it not be emotional.
"Thanks for the compliment, Sandra you're getting more and more attractive, to be honest, I still don't believe you came to audition for my movie, all I need is a supporting mom role." Lin Yuquan said with an exaggerated smile, although he knew that his influence in Hollywood was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that after the casting of "Heartbeat" was released, so many big-name actors would take the initiative to express their willingness to participate in the audition through the actors' union, which made him feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
"Hehe, at the Oscars a few days ago, the Industrial Light & Magic team and John . Powell mentioned in his acceptance speech that only people who have worked with you know how great you are, and I want to know, so I came. "Sandra. Bullock said with a smile, these words are not entirely out of compliment, she is indeed very interested in cooperating with Lin Yuquan, of course, in addition, there is also the meaning of using cooperation to get in touch with Lin Yuquan, 43 years old, she no longer has a youthful and beautiful face and proud figure, and there are no longer a large number of scripts and roles waiting for her to choose, this kind of movie shooting opportunity that is not only interested, but also manages the relationship by the way, and hardly delays for a long time, of course she doesn't want to miss it.
"Looks like I'm getting attractive now? As long as you don't mind the small pay, you may also run for nothing, and I welcome Sandra to come to auditions more often in the future. Lin Yuquan chuckled.
"Of course I don't mind, I will impress you in this way and let you take the initiative to give me the role of heroine in the near future." This moment, Sandra. Brock's smile was extraordinarily bright.
Lin Yuquan suddenly laughed dumbly, and Sandra. After a few words, Bullock said hello to several other well-known actors, and followed up to the second floor of the café.
Thenceforth. More and more auditioning actors are coming to the café. In the middle. There is no shortage of well-known actors in the United States, and when the time comes to half past noon, the audition resumes.
For the adult characters in the film, Lin Yuquan does not require much popularity and box office appeal, because there are not many scenes, such a requirement is actually meaningless, it is good to have popularity, but more importantly, it can fit his vision to complete the performance.
Auditions lasted until 10 p.m. This is the end of the war, and all the adult roles have also been selected actors. Baker's father was born by character actor John Brown, who has starred in "Prison in the Sky", "Deadly ID", "American Sweetheart", and "Destiny". Cusack starred in the mother of Sandra. Brock starred, Bryce's father was played by Anthony Brown, who won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a TV Series for "ER's Story." Edwards is starred, and his mother is played by Julianne. Moore starred, and the grandfather was played by Allen, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for the role of Grandpa in "Little Sunshine Beauty". Ah Jin starred, this is definitely an all-star lineup, and everyone is an acting powerhouse.
Now it's up to us to see if there are any obstacles in terms of pay, if there are no obstacles. Then "Heartbeat" will have a rather star-studded cast, and Lin Yuquan feels that there will be no obstacles anyway. Since Sandra. Bullock, Julianne. Moore, John. Cusack and others are willing to take the initiative to participate in the supporting role audition, and they will definitely not care too much about the gain or loss of the salary.
In this way, all the actors were selected for the main roles in "Heartbeat" except Bryce, but Lin Yuquan couldn't be happy at all, Bryce is one of the two most important roles in the film, and his selection was not selected, which has an impact on the preparation of the film.
Bryce, Bryce, where is Bryce I want?
Lin Yuquan has a headache about this, but he has no time to stay in Los Angeles to continue casting, and the two sessions are about to be held, and he must take a flight back to Kyoto tonight.
In this regard, even if he is helpless, Lin Yuquan can only hand over the casting to Amanda. Pacino's casting team went to do it, and after the audition, he asked Amanda Brown. Pacino and Kevin. Garnett explained the casting arrangements for Bryce, and he returned to Beverly Hills, went out to dinner with his two daughters, and immediately took his luggage to Los Angeles International Airport
Although the audition for "Heartbeat" is over, for the relevant personnel of the audition, the end of the audition does not mean the end, at this time, everyone is waiting for the result of the audition, and except for those children who don't have too many ideas, I'm afraid big names such as Sandra. Bullock, Julianne. Moore, John. Cusack will inevitably suffer in the process of waiting, because as long as they care about the opportunity to star in "Heartbeat", they will definitely be worried about it.
This kind of torment, especially when auditioning for teenage Julie. The actors of Baker and Bryce are the most important with their families and agents, you must know that these two characters are the heroes and heroines of the film, and once they play these two roles, their acting career may change dramatically.
Dakota. Fanning, Colo. Moretz, Abegill. Brycelyn, Anna Sophia. Rob, Madeleine. Carol was waiting anxiously.
"Jingle bell", the sudden sound of the phone ring in the quiet living room, makes the mind of Dakota messed up. Fanning suddenly woke up, is it a notification of the results of the audition? The thought swirled through her mind as she grabbed the phone.
"Hello, I'm a member of Summit Entertainment, excuse me, is Miss Dakota here?" A gentle female voice came from the phone.
"Ah, I'm Dakota. Fanning, did my sister and I get chosen? "Dakota. Fanning said in a trembling voice after his breathing was almost suffocated.
"Hello, Miss Dakota, congratulations on being chosen to play Shirley in Heartbeat"
What's behind that, Dakota. Fanning didn't pay attention to it anymore, her mind was occupied by the words "Congratulations on being chosen to play Shirley in "Heartbeat", and after spending the initial surprise, she inevitably felt a huge loss, she only played the role of Shirley, not the Julie she longed for the most. The role of Baker, you must know that the gap between these two roles is very different, and the meaning to her is completely different.
"Hello, I would like to ask who was chosen as the heroine Julie. Beck's actor? "Dakota. Fanning asked bitterly.
"Oh, this one, it's Abigir. Bryslin. ”
"It's her." Dakota. A bright smile appeared in Fanning's mind, and his expression became extremely complicated, and sure enough, it was the winning character she regarded as her biggest competitor.
On the second day after the audition for "Heartbeat", Summit Entertainment immediately notified all the selected audition actors and began to sign contracts with the actors, as Lin Yuquan expected, in this regard, there were no salary obstacles, and on the third day after the audition, all the selected actors signed contracts.
Of course, the fact that the contract can be signed so smoothly has a lot to do with the generosity of Summit Entertainment itself.
At the same time, the casting for Bryce as a teenager was also launched, only this time it was no longer limited to the United States, but expanded to the whole world.
At this time, Lin Yuquan, who had already returned to Kyoto, had begun to embark on his first trip to the two sessions, and at this time, New York, USA, where Forbes magazine was headquartered, was in a busy situation. (To be continued......)
