In Duke's expectations, the heroine of the film is a ten-year-old young girl who knows nothing about the Skywalker family and many secrets of Star Wars, she is just in an environment like a desert planet, constantly surviving, constantly looking forward to the future, he hopes that the selected actress meets such a strong and tenacious image.

In the subsequent audition, Daisy, who is five feet seven inches tall? Ridley reversed her previous poor performance and showed her unique strengths, and Duke also made a good impression on her.

Quiet, obedient, explosive, and seemingly skinny Daisy? Ridley, with a sturdy physique, has beautiful and delicate arm lines.

Daisy? Ridley had just finished a routine self-introduction, Duke crossed his arms over his chest, looked over there, and suddenly asked, "You just saw some scenes of the character, do you think you fit the role?" ”

A vague slice of a script scene that doesn't reveal anything at all, Daisy? Ridley can't tell what kind of role this is, and even if he has acting skills, he doesn't have much room to play.

A girl in her early twenties, a person who can have extremely good acting skills, can be described as a genius among geniuses, Duke has been in the industry for more than 20 years, and has only seen two, he doesn't expect himself to be like George? Lucas was just as lucky to meet one of them, and judging from the current audition results, there really is no such acting genius.

So much so, like Robert Jr.? Donnie vs. Tony? If Stark performs in the same true colors, he can undoubtedly better shape the character.

Duke wants to find someone who is similar in personality to the heroine.

"Although my acting career has just started, many of them are still immature......"

Obviously, after the adjustments just now, Daisy? Ridley is becoming more and more confident, especially with her tough face and determined eyes, the whole person's temperament seems quite distinctive, "but I think I can bring freshness and confidence to the character." ”

Quiet returned to the audition room, Duke stopped talking, and Tina, who cooperated with him tacitly? Fei opened his mouth and asked, "Who is your favorite actor?" ”

"Kerry? Mulligan! "Daisy? Ridley said without even thinking about it. "She's done a fantastic job, she's amazing in character, and she's very personal in her life."

Tina? Fei didn't give her a chance to think, and asked again. "How would you approach your future life as an actor?"

"Act well and live well." Daisy? Ridley didn't think about it either, "I think to be strong, to be thoughtful, to be careful. Be aware of the impact on others. Don't be afraid of things that may change your life and fill you with uncertainty. ”

Duke vs. Tina? Faye nodded, Tina? Faye vs. Daisy? "That's it for this audition, and I'll let your agent know the outcome." ”

Wait until Daisy? After Ridley left, Duke vs. Anna? Prinz and Robin? Grande said, "Will Daisy? Ridley is on the list of key follow-ups. ”

What if Daisy? Ridley's later auditions were good enough, and Duke didn't mind choosing a British actress as the lead actress for the new film.

Leaving the audition room, Duke and Tina? Faye has just returned to the office, Charles? Rowan knocked on the door and walked in. He and Duke didn't need to be polite, and sat directly across the desk.

Charles? Rowan asked tentatively, "Duke, are you going to use an Asian actor on one of the male leads, Finn?" ”

"Not an Asian actor," Duke corrected, "a Chinese actor." ”

"Let a Chinese-American actor be the second lead?" Charles? Rowan frowned slightly, "I don't think Chinese actors are more suitable than black actors, if after the film is released, someone uses racial discrimination ......"

"Charles." Duke raised his hand to his words, "The first protagonist is a white woman. The second lead character is a Chinese male, the third lead character is a Latino actor, and then among the other positive roles, pick a black actor. ”

The office is full of my own people. Duke didn't hide his words, "If that's the case, those guys with glass hearts still attack us as racist, then they will definitely ask for trouble." ”

Regardless of Chinese or Asian Americans, the number of Latinos in the United States far exceeds that of blacks, although the status is not as good as that of blacks. But it should not be overlooked.

Hear Duke say that, Charles? Rowan and Tina sitting on the side? Fei Du laughed, such an approach really does not leave people with the opportunity to attack in the name of "racial discrimination".

Duke looked at Tina? Fey, on the other hand, said, "Give Charles, the information I asked you to collect." ”

Tina? Fei flipped out a document and walked over and sent it to Charles? Rowan's hands, Charles? Rowan opened it and looked at it, and said, "This Daniel? Wu: I think I've heard of it. ”

"He is a Chinese-American actor who has a high popularity in the market on the other side of the Pacific, and his image has always been sunny and healthy." Duke briefly introduced, "His wife's family is a wealthy person in Las Vegas, and he knows enough about our culture. ”

After the preparatory meeting, Duke thought about the choice of the actor for a long time, "Star Wars 7" wants to achieve a big explosion, the Chinese market cannot be ignored, although he acquired Lucasfilm, he launched a number of promotional activities in the Chinese market, far more than the former Walt Disney, but such a film wants to achieve a box office explosion on the other side of the Pacific, these are not enough.

Adding a Chinese-American movie star to the starring ranks who is popular and has a good image on the other side of the Pacific naturally became an option for Duke.

Pick Daniel? Wu wasn't because of Duke's personal liking, but because he couldn't find a more suitable candidate.

Daniel? Wu has enough popularity on the other side of the Pacific, without too many scandals, and his image is sunny and healthy enough, his addition is bound to attract the attention of fans on the other side of the ocean, and more importantly, Daniel? Wu has long been an American citizen and has a certain reputation in the United States.

To a certain extent, this will also reduce some unnecessary exclusion.

From a market perspective, choose Daniel? Wu is also far more suitable than choosing a black person, although it is not mentioned much in the mouth and in the media, but in fact, the black protagonist still affects the box office performance of the former film in the Pacific market, which even the former Walt Disney has expected, and in the Chinese version of the poster and trailer produced, black actors are placed in an inconspicuous position.

Not only the box office, but also the related peripherals, especially the image authorization, how much can a black actor's image license or doll sell? And Daniel? Wu represents an infinitely broad market, and this market is constantly being regulated.

Whichever way you look at it, choose Daniel? Wu is a hundred times stronger than blacks in the leading role.

Indeed, the appearance of a Chinese American in the starring ranks of "Star Wars" will inevitably arouse the disgust and resistance of some white supremacists, and the problem is that if you choose a black person, these problems also exist, and the dispute that occurred in that movie also confirms this.

Charles? Rowan contacted Daniel for the first time? Wu's agent, Daniel? Wu has always wanted to develop in Hollywood, but things are not going too well, Daniel? Wu is currently in contact with the crew of "World of Warcraft," a joint production between Blizzard and Legendary Pictures, to fight for the role of Gul'dan.

Unlike the past when Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. first cooperated and then parted ways, because of Duke's relationship, Legendary Pictures has not participated in the production of films such as "Batman" trilogy and "Inception" at all, nor does it have any cooperative relationship with Warner Bros., and can only be regarded as an inconspicuous one of the second-rate studios.

And the character of Gul'dan is motion captured from start to finish, Daniel? Wu's face does not appear in the movie at all.

Admittedly, World of Warcraft is one of the most successful online games, with a large number of fans around the world, and the movie adaptation is quite eye-catching, but its movie version in front of Star Wars can't be compared in any way, and how many examples of game movies are really successful?

What to choose between World of Warcraft and Star Wars? It is not difficult for any actor.

In Duke in person with Daniel? After a phone call, the famous Chinese-American actor did not hesitate to abandon the preparation of "World of Warcraft" and threw himself into the arms of "Star Wars 7", as long as he can pass the audition, he will play the second lead role in the film.

The audition work is tense and busy, as long as the people who can get in touch with each other, almost all of them find Duke through various ways and recommend the right actor in their hands, Duke's agent Nancy? Josephson was no exception, and she recommended the newly signed Chloe to Duke. Moretz.

Unlike before, just looked at Colo? Moretz's recent photo, Duke did not hesitate to reject Nancy? Josephson's request.

Is he asking the lead actress not to be too slender yes, but also not like Colo? Moretz is so stout, the actress who starred in "King Haibian" who killed women, can be said to be a true portrayal of the development trajectory of Hollywood child stars......

Such an actor does not meet Duke's requirements for a heroine at all.

As with all Hollywood movies and directors, not all actors are going to be the first to join Duke's crew, like Michael? Fassbinder, after receiving an offer to play the villain, politely declined the actor contract, and continued to play his Magneto.

Someone doesn't want to join the crew, and someone is actively seeking a role, Bendinik? Cumberbatch took part in the villain Kylo? Len's audition, but he was eliminated by Duke in the first round, and he won't use Bendenik unless his head gets water? Cumberbatch. (To be continued.) )
