Chapter 397: Looking for Bryce
As Lin Yuquan's new work, "Heartbeat" has attracted countless people's attention around the world since the casting was announced, although this is a small and fresh love movie, due to the type of film, the box office of the movie is destined not to be too high, but only these three words Lin Yuquan are enough to ensure that the box office of the film will not be too low.
Too low, this is relative to Lin Yuquan's other movies, put on ordinary directors, its box office figures are definitely their dreams, it is conceivable that the hero and heroine who starred in such a movie, for those young actors, it is no exaggeration to say that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only can bring them extremely high attention, if they are excellent, then it is very likely to become famous in one fell swoop, quickly become popular, and become such as Christine. Stuart, Daniel. A youth idol like Radcliffe.
Therefore, for a while, countless actors wanted to win the role, and on the other hand, there were countless media and movie fans who were eager to know who would be the teenage Julie. The stars of Baker and Bryce, such a situation makes it destined to attract the attention of countless people from the audition of "Heartbeat".
In the attention of countless people, finally, the audition for "Heartbeat" ended. Brycelyn, Sandra. Bullock, Julianne. Moore, John. Cusack, Allen. Akin, Anthony. Edwards, Dakota. Fanning, Nathan. Gan Bao, Morgan. Lily, although it is only a small fresh love movie, the cast selected after the audition for "Heartbeat" is shiny enough.
However, among the main characters, Julie as a child. Baker found it, and Bryce as a child found it. Julie as a teenager. Baker found it. Julie. Baker's parents found one of the only two leading actors, the role of teenage Bryce, and there was no casting choice. Obviously, none of the famous child stars who participated in the audition satisfied Lin Yuquan in the end.
So, here's the problem. What kind of boy is Bryce that Lin Yuquan wants? For a while, countless people were full of curiosity about this, and what was even more curious was where would the young Bryce that Lin Yuquan was looking for? When will it appear?
In fact, it's not just the media and movie fans. In this regard, Lin Yuquan himself is also quite curious and looking forward to it.
At the beginning of the audition, he confessed to Amanda. Pacino expanded his casting to the world, working with entertainment agencies in Europe and South America to solicit actors.
For the candidates solicited for this audition, Lin Yuquan did not set too strict screening conditions. In Pacino's confession, he only needs to meet the requirements of a white teenager, 13-14 years old, sunny, handsome, and expressive. These conditions, the photos will be sent to him for preliminary screening.
For acting and starring experience. Lin Yuquan doesn't have too many requirements, it is best to have acting experience, but it doesn't matter if you don't have acting experience.
The reason why this is so is because, in his opinion, in fact, the non-adult characters in "Heartbeat", whether they have acting skills and acting experience are secondary, the most important thing is the image and temperament of the actors. Such as Xia Yu in "Sunny Day", Li Bilu in "Sky Bath", and Macaulay in "Home Alone". Culkin, Abigill in "Little Miss Sunshine". This is true of Bryslin's young men and girls who have become famous.
Of course, I don't care about the acting experience, it doesn't mean that as long as the image and temperament match, Xia Yu, Macaulay. The reason why Culkin and others became famous in one fell swoop is inseparable from their respective outstanding acting talents, there are many people with outstanding appearance conditions in this world, why can they become actors, and there are very few popular actors, because too many people simply can't complete the performance required by the script in front of the camera.
Time passed day by day, and when the time came to March 9th, Lin Yuquan finally received Amanda. Compiled by Pacino and the casting team.
Looking at more than 10,000 photos of more than 2,000 people in the computer and the corresponding profile information, Lin Yuquan immediately fell into a busy state of work after smiling bitterly.
For the selection of the male protagonist of "Heartbeat", Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi were full of interest at first, but in the face of such a huge number of photos and materials, how could the two daughters be able to bear it, and after watching it with Lin Yuquan for more than an hour, they were immediately defeated.
"Oh, I'm tired, my eyes are all flowery, Brother Yuquan, are you tired? I'll peel you a fragrant and sweet apple. Liu Yifei said with a smile after stretching.
"I'm not tired, but of course I want to eat the apples you peeled with your own hands." Lin Yuquan turned his head and smiled.
"Okay, I'll go get the apples right away, Brother Yuquan, what else do you need besides apples?" Liu Yifei smiled sweetly.
"A bottle of mineral water would be fine." Lin Yuquan gestured.
“OK。” Liu Yifei replied with an OK gesture and walked out of the room briskly.
"Yuquan, do you have the right person?" Liu Shishi stroked her long black and silky hair.
"No, where is it so fast, we only see more than 100 candidates?" Lin Yuquan shook his head, although Amanda. The candidates sent by Pacino are all good candidates, but there are no two words in his dictionary for movies, and he wants to find Bryce who best fits his vision.
"Oh, more than 2,000 candidates, how long does it take to see how long, it's really not easy to be a director, I didn't expect that the director's job would be so hard in selecting actors." Liu Shishi sighed.
"Huh." Lin Yuquan smiled slightly: "Of course the director has hard times, isn't it the same when the actors are filming?" In fact, anyone who works hard will have such a time, but as long as the effort is worth it, it will not feel hard. ”
"Hmm." Liu Shishi nodded, and then smiled and said, "Yuquan, do you eat pears?" I'll cut one for you. ”
Of course she couldn't stay here. Waiting for Liu Yifei to come up with the apple. The other party won't give it to her.
"Of course. I'm going to eat whole, and I don't want to share it with you. Lin Yuquan chuckled.
"Heh, I know, I didn't say I would share it with you." Liu Shishi had a sweet smile on his face.
After eating the apples and pears peeled by the second daughter, Lin Yuquan looked at it again, and then sent the second daughter home, then returned home and took the trouble to look at the photos, constantly measuring the image and temperament of the teenagers. When he was engrossed in it, before he knew it, time had passed.
"Hey, this teenager is good, very sunny, and his smile is very bright, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling." I don't know when, Lin Yuquan's eyes suddenly lit up and looked at a photo on the computer screen, which showed a young man wearing a plaid shirt and short brown hair.
"The eyes are soft and clear, well, and the expressions are very rich. Not bad, not bad. "After looking at a few photos of the teenager one after another. Lin Yuquan felt more and more satisfied, although the boy is not blonde, but the external conditions such as hair color and eye color are not the decisive factors, it is not blonde hair, it can be dyed blonde, it is simple, and if the boy is blonde.
Lin Yuquan compared his hands like a camera, his eyes squinted slightly at the young man on the screen, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, so that the young man looked more sunny and compelling, and it was more in line with the idea of Bryce in his heart.
"Karan. McOllieffy? Australian actor even has some acting experience. Looking at the teenager's information, it was difficult for Lin Yuquan not to become happy.
This one's name is Karan. McOllie's teenager, from Sydney, Australia, was born on January 24, 95, he just turned thirteen years old, although he is not very old, but the teenager already has a good acting experience, he has been acting since he was eight years old, and Tong Guò last year in the Australian TV series "Comedy Inc." and "BlueWaterHigh", the teenager has a certain reputation in Australia.
The image and temperament are appropriate, the age and height are appropriate, they can speak English, and they have acting experience, even if they are as picky as Lin Yuquan, they unabashedly show their expressions.
Seeing the hobbies, hiking, music, camping, nature and wildlife, and video games filled in the teenager's profile, Lin Yuquan made a decision.
Glancing at the watch time, the time was already half past two in the evening, but Lin Yuquan did not feel the slightest sleep, looked at more than 700 candidates, and finally found a suitable one, he is in a happy mood now, where can he sleep, but full of energy, he wants to see how many suitable ones there are
"Oh, I lost again, take a break, hey, Kalan, if you are selected by Kung Fu Lin, you will go to Hollywood to make a movie, Hollywood, the best actors in our country are there." In an apartment in Australia, a slightly bloated, honest and cute teenager put down the game console in his hand, tilted his head, and said to the sunny boy next to him with great interest.
Hollywood, that's the mecca of the global film industry, as long as it's an actor, uh, an actor who knows about acting careers, who wouldn't want to go there.
Compared with many other countries in the world, Australia has produced many actors who have made a name for themselves in Hollywood, including superstars and Oscar winners. Gibson, Hugh. Jackman, Russell. Chloe, Hiss. Ledger, Nicole. Kidman, Kate. Blanchett.
"Of course I also want to, but where is it so easy, the actor of the Kung Fu Lin movie, how many people compete, how can it be my turn, I, in fact, just join in the fun, mainly because my agent uncle doesn't want to give up if he doesn't want to try." The sunny boy known as Kahlan pouted and said he didn't want to be fake, but he knew better how low the likelihood was.
"Who knows, maybe someone else's kung fu lin thinks you're suitable, and now no one knows what kind of Bryce he's looking for?" The honest boy grinned.
"Well, I also hope that if I am chosen, when the time comes, I will treat you to a KFC vat." The sunny boy known as Kahlan smiled.
"Please, Kahran, you're too stingy, if you play the leading actor in a kung fu Lin movie, your salary will be at least tens of thousands of dollars. The two of us have such a good relationship. You only asked me for a bucket of KFC. The honest young man had a disdainful expression.
"Please. I'm asking you to do it, it's impossible for me, and you're even more serious. The sunny boy known as Kahlan was speechless.
"It's one thing to succeed or not, the important thing is to be able to see from this incident that you have a good time, and the weight of our friendship in your heart, it's really chilling, it turns out that the friendship between us only has such a small weight in your heart." The honest boy said disdainfully, rubbing the fingertips of his thumb and index finger quickly. Dangled in front of the sunny boy.
The sunny boy known as Kahlan was completely speechless, he didn't say anything, he knew the situation of his sworn friends, and he knew that he was definitely not a sworn friend in words.
"Kahan, answer the phone, look for you." A gentle female voice sounded, followed by the sound of footsteps.
"Oh, yes, Mom." The sunny boy known as Kahlan immediately answered and got up from his stool. Walk out of the room.
"Hello, I'm Karan. McOllieffy. Are you looking for me? After picking up the phone, the sunny boy known as Kahlan said politely.
"Hello, Mr. McOllieffie, I'm Amanda Brown, the casting director of Heartbeat. Pacino, congratulations on the primary selection, please attend the final audition at Summit Entertainment at 9 a.m. Los Angeles time on the 16th of this month, and we will cover the cost of round-trip airfare, food and lodging between you and your agent or family. A hearty and calm male voice rang on the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Pacino, are you saying that I can participate in the final audition for the Kung Fu Lin movie?" Karan. McOlive Philfeld couldn't hide his excitement and asked, although he was not directly selected as the leading actor in the kung fu Lin movie, but to be able to participate in the final audition and have the opportunity to compete for the role of Bryce, for him, this is something he never thought of before.
"Yes, you and the other three teenagers were personally selected by the boss, so prepare well, I hope you can come up with the best watch when the time comes." Amanda. Pacino laughed.
"I will." Karan. McOllieffey said in a firm voice.
Yes I will, hang up and Amanda. After Pacino's call, Karan. There was a hint of determination in McOllieffey's brown eyes.
In fact, at first, he didn't think about taking the path of acting, his favorite course in school was science, and his initial dream was to work in science in the future, such as studying marine biology or entomology, until he made some extra money through acting, he felt that it was not bad to do this business.
And gradually, when more and more people are exposed to acting, he finds that he has unconsciously liked acting, and to the point where he can no longer do it, from then on, he said to himself categorically that he will continue to work as an actor until he can't do it anymore.
"Karan, whose phone is it?" A gentle voice sounded, and it was a middle-aged woman who spoke with a capable atmosphere.
"Mom, I got through the primary audition for the Guò Kung Fu Lin movie, and it was just a call from the casting director, and he asked me to go to Los Angeles for the final audition." Karan. McOllie said happily.
"Oh, really? Great, when to go to the audition? The middle-aged woman said in surprise.
"Los Angeles time on the 16th." Karan. McOlive said dryly.
"It's been a few days, and when the time comes, I'll take leave to accompany you, and I'll go to Los Angeles to play, speaking of which, since I divorced your father, because I'm busy with work, my mother hasn't traveled abroad with you." The middle-aged woman smiled.
"Okay, Mom." Karan. McOllie nodded: "Ha, I wonder how Uncle Ram reacted when he heard the news?" ”
"Maybe I'll faint with excitement!" The middle-aged woman pursed her lips.
"Well, most likely." Karan. McOliffey smiled approvingly, and immediately called his agent's uncle.
After the call, he couldn't stop walking to his room with a smile on his face.
"What call did you answer, it took so long to come back?" The honest young man pouted dissatisfiedly.
"Hank, I'm going to Los Angeles for the final audition for the Kung Fu Lin movie." Karan. McOllie said excitedly.
"What, the final audition, which means that you have a chance to become the leading actor in the kung fu Lin movie." The honest young man's eyes were round, but unfortunately, his face was fatter and his eyes were smaller, although they were round, in fact, they were just a slit larger than usual.
"Yes, there's a chance, there's a big chance." Karan. McOlive Philfe perked.
"Wow, it looks like my KFC dinner has settled, Kahran, if you are successful in the audition, you will treat me to two large buckets, no, at least three barrels of KFC combo." The honest young man suddenly shouted with his eyes lit up.
", you foodie." Karan rang in the room. McOllie laughed and cursed intolerably
Time flashed to March 14, the day after the end of the two sessions.
"Yuquan, you can speak by yourself later, it's no problem for me to speak to the students, I'm not used to speaking to so many reporters." A slightly nervous voice sounded in the speeding silver-gray Audi A6.
"Dad, what's not used to this, I believe you can, and you're the head of the foundation, it's most appropriate for you to tell the foundation about the next plan, Mom, don't you say?" Lin Yuquan chuckled.
"What my son said is right, haha, I didn't expect that the dignified professor of Lin University would be afraid to speak to reporters." Lin Mu laughed and laughed.
"It's easy, then you don't come." Father Lin glared at Mother Lin angrily.
"Why do you want me to speak, you are the head of the foundation, I am just assisting you in your work." Facing Father Lin's angry eyes, Mother Lin said leisurely.
Lin Yuquan smiled slightly.
The silver-gray Audi A6 finally stopped at a five-star hotel, and after parking the car, Lin Yuquan, Lin's father and Lin's mother walked directly to the conference hall.
Soon after.
Amid the flickering cameras of countless reporters, Lin Yuquan stood on the rostrum of the conference hall and said with a calm smile: "Starting from this year, the Shuguang Foundation will invest at least 300 million yuan in education and charity every year, and the specific use of funds will be told by the person in charge of the foundation later." In addition, my various companies, including Dawning Films, will use a part of their profits every year to help emergencies and create charitable enterprises, and this year, we will first invest 30 million yuan in charitable activities in this area. In addition, we sincerely thank Zhang Jindong, Chairman of Suning Electric Appliances, and Lu Zhiqiang, Chairman of Oceanwide Group, for their support to our Shuguang Foundation, Chairman Zhang Jindong and Chairman Lu Zhiqiang respectively donated 100 million yuan to Shuguang Foundation for the foundation's charity, let us thank them with warm applause for their unsparing support for charity. ”
With Lin Yuquan's words, the conference hall resounded with warm applause, and after the applause stopped, he continued: "Here, I also announce to you the first emergency charity project after the establishment of our Shuguang Foundation, I believe everyone knows that the rain, snow and ice disaster that occurred in the south before the Spring Festival this year, this blood and ice disaster affected nearly 20 provinces in the south, causing direct economic losses of tens of billions, and many families were severely affected by the economic blow. We, the Sugon Foundation, will invest 50 million yuan to help families who have suffered heavy losses in disasters and strive to help them get through the difficulties as soon as possible. ”
"Papapapa", applause that was even warmer than just now sounded in the conference hall.
"Okay, next I would like to invite Chairman Zhang Jindong of Suning Electric and Chairman Lu Zhiqiang of Oceanwide Group to speak."
Because of the audition, after the opening ceremony of the Dawning Foundation, Lin Yuquan had to fly to Los Angeles again the next day with his second daughter and Lin's father and mother. (To be continued......)
