1990. Chapter 1990 1990 Best Candidate
Although the corners of Catherine's mouth were still smiling, a slight gloom flashed in her eyes - she didn't deliberately hide it, because she needed to show her position in front of Hugo and Rick, and besides, she was really unprepared for Knight's surprise, "Knight, I think the matter of actors needs to be discussed slowly." β
Hugo didn't speak, and Knight, the director, was not qualified to speak at all.
Hugo gave Catherine a warm smile, lightened the mood, and then looked at Knight, "Oh? Tell me about it. Hugo chooses the actor of the "Sixth Sense", he will inevitably refer to the impression in the original, so it is not necessarily objective, so Hugo is a little curious about Knight's choice.
Knight immediately began to gear up, "I want the role of Anna to be played by Kate Beckinsale. Beckinsale, a British actress who starred in 'Emma', but what really made a real impression of her was 'The Disco Doomsday,' which was released at Sundance not long ago. Lastγ Daysγ Ofγ Disco', this work is Whit. Stillman), Kate is simply beautiful in it! β
Katherine and Rick both showed expressions of understanding, Whit was not a nobody, he was a well-known independent filmmaker like Richard Linklater, and Whitt, who hailed from New York, was considered a very different but comparable filmmaker to Woody Allen, and his 1990 work "Metropolitan" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
However, Hugo stared at his eyes and showed a look of surprise, could it be that after the historical trajectory has changed, even the entire creative idea of the "supernatural sixth sense" has changed?
Kate Beckinsale, she can be said to be the unique British rose among the Hollywood beauties, her appearance is absolutely explosive, "Underworld" series, "Pearl Harbor. Harbor), Van Helsing (Van. Helsing)" and other works are enough to make her occupy an important place in the long river of film history.
Although Kate's acting skills have not been recognized, and she has become a unique landscape in Hollywood as an action actress, in the early days of her acting career, Kate was actually quite an aura actor - no actor from the UK can be underestimated.
What is certain is that Kate is not one of the "supernatural sixth senses" in Hugo's memory.
"And then the role of Vincent, I would like to be played by Alexander Lorraine, or one of the Wahlberg brothers." Knight's cast once again made Hugo look surprised.
Alex naturally needless to say, he couldn't be more familiar; The Wahlberg brothers are no strangers either, with Mark Wahlberg starring in "Unruly Night" not long ago, who is also an actor at Endeavour Elite Agency, and his older brother Donnie Wahlberg. Wlberg has also been active in the industry for more than three years, but his most famous work is "Band of Brothers." Ofγ Brothers" β from the production co-produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.
Knight's choice is ingenious, but the skills of these three actors are solid enough. Vincent's role is not much, but it is very important, and all three actors can do it.
"I'm also optimistic about Sandra Bullock for the role of Lynn, and Charlize Theron is also a good choice." Knight's concise and bright words were finished in just a few words, but he found that he didn't get a response, and turned his head to look, only to find that the expressions of the three people were a little weird, "What's wrong?" In the process of writing the script, I created the characters according to the image of these actors, is there anything that is not appropriate? β
Catherine didn't know what to say for a while, if Nate didn't have eyesight? But the actor he chose can't be said to be 100% suitable, but it's indeed within the range, at least Rick won't refuse; But if Knight thought about it? But he didn't consult anyone, and he had already set a list of actors.
Catherine had no choice but to turn her attention to Hugo, after all, it was Hugo who asked Knight to speak just now, and now it depends on how Hugo decides.
Hugo frowned and thought slightly, but did not express any opinion, but continued to ask, "What about the character of Cole?" β
Knight shook his head helplessly, "This is the most important but also the most difficult choice. β
Child actors are not like adult actors, they have almost no acting methods to speak of, and rely more on their own talent and roots. can interpret the characters, and many of them are performed in their true colors. Therefore, it is never easy to find a suitable child actor. The role of children on Independence Day was also determined through auditions.
Hugo's muscles slowly relaxed, leaned back in his chair, and thought carefully.
Although today was only the first meeting between Hugo and Knight, Hugo knew the script of "The Sixth Sense" well, so he quickly substituted it into the script and thought about it carefully.
"Personally, I think Kate Beckinsale should be up to the role of Anna," Hugo said with a deep groan, thinking as he spoke, as he looked at Rick sitting next to him, explaining incidentally, "I've seen her play 'Emma.'" At this time, Kate was still a nobody in Hollywood, and it was naturally impossible for Hugo to know her, so she still needed to find an excuse.
This sentence made Knight's somewhat nervous expression relax a little - he also felt the sternness in Catherine's eyes just now, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, "Lynn's words ......" Hugo's tail note was slightly longer, "Charlize has no schedule, she will be involved in the filming of another movie this week." β
"Female. The Adversary will start filming this weekend.
"Sandra......" Hugo and Sandra are good friends, and he heard it roughly, and it was an acceptable choice for Sandra to play Lynn; But if you think about it carefully, Sandra's performance is more outward-looking, with a little innocent stupidity, for an ordinary and introverted character like Lynn, Sandra may not be able to show the character's heart, but is relatively struggling. Of course, this is just Hugo's own opinion, "We can audition and see," Hugo is naturally willing to give his friend a chance to audition, "If not, I think Toni Lecott is a good choice." β
After saying this, Rick showed a shallow smile.
Now Endeavour Elite Agency's global program is steadily unfolding, with a large number of Canadian, Australian, and British actors. They are already ahead of several other competitors in their global strategy, and Toni was one of the members of Endeavour Elite Agency signed late last year.
Knight, however, frowned, and opened his mouth to ask "who is Tony", but was stopped by Catherine with a vicious look, which made Knight hesitate for a moment, and then closed his mouth.
Hugo didn't intend to explain further, he could explain the situation to Knight, but for strategic reasons, he couldn't because he needed to show strength - not for Knight, not for Catherine, but for Robert and David, who weren't there today.
"Vincent's words, there is nothing wrong with the three choices you said." Hugo groaned for a moment, paused for a moment and added, "But I think Leo is also a good choice." β
"Leonardo DiCaprio?" This sentence was not asked by Knight, but by Catherine, who was obviously a little surprised by Hugo's choice, Hugo nodded in affirmation, and Catherine asked in surprise, "Is he willing to take these works now?" β
After the great success of the "Titanic", Leonardo's worth has soared to 15 million US dollars, and many people even believe that he has the ability to hit 20 million. Of course, there is only one actor who is currently paid 20 million yuan - Jim Carrey still has only one "ace correspondent", Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford and others all hope to become the next one, and now one more must be added.
Hugo shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal. In fact, there are many actors who can play the role of Vincent, but Hugo still hopes that Leonardo can play for his own considerations. Not an important role, but with a certain number of challenges, it can be used as a buffer during this break.
Catherine's expression was a little uncertain, in fact, just as Rick showed confidence just now, after the strong rise of the "Titanic", Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company once again added a top fighter like Leonardo, coupled with Alex, who has performed well recently, Rick's chips are indeed more and more. If Leonardo had been willing to play the role of "The Sixth Sense", the balance of power would have been different - and all this happened after Hugo was confirmed to join, and Hugo's influence was once again revealed.
"Finally, regarding the role of Cole, I think Haley Joe Osmon is a perfect fit." In the current list of child actors, Hugo can't think of anyone who can take Haley's place in the role of Cole. During the audition for "Independence Day", Hugo had already deeply felt the talent of this little guy.
"Haley Joe Osmond?" Knight repeated the name, but she didn't have any impression, but Catherine took the initiative to speak, "The kid who played little Forrest Gump in 'Forrest Gump', right?" After a pause, Catherine added, "Of course, he also played your son on 'Independence Day.'" β
Hugo smiled and nodded, "Trust me, he can definitely be said to be the perfect choice." In this role, Hugo hardly gave any room for manoeuvre, and directly locked on Haley.
Knight stopped talking, but looked at Catherine, and saw that Catherine's eyes were a little wandering, and although he wasn't quite sure what was going on, he clearly felt that now was not a good time to speak indiscriminately.
And so it was, Catherine looked up at Hugo, and saw a calm confidence in Hugo's expression, and a smile appeared on her face, "It seems that we are all getting better." He didn't nod or shake his head, and a meaningful sentence brought the topic to an end.
