Shen Zhenghui has "filmed" "Magic Apprentice" in his mind more than once during this time, at the beginning, the image of the "movie" was still a little blurry, but with the selection of actors and the construction of the scene step by step, the image formed in his mind was already perfect enough, and even if it was exported with Sauron's machine, it could even be directly taken to the cinema to be screened. This is also the reason why Shen Zhenghui is getting more and more confident, but the image in his mind is enough to occupy his nerves, and he now thinks more about how to project the things in his mind in reality than how to be nervous.

Liu Xin's painters helped a lot, they turned the described scenes into reality, and then these realities became the basis for building the scenes, Miyamoto has been busy with this for some time, he has to find suitable places to transform, to turn what is stored in the two-dimensional picture into reality. Thanks to the meticulousness and seriousness of the Japanese, his work was fruitful, of course, perhaps because Wang Anping's construction team was too cooperative, so he had the opportunity to fly to Thailand and stay for so long. But soon he will go to the mainland with Sony and Columbia's assistant directors to make further preparations, including communication with mainland officials, coordination of actors' entry and exit, and good relations with various local powerful departments.

Shen Zhenghui is determined to pull his preparations to the mainland as well, ready to integrate into the rhythm of the work in advance, and sometimes, teaching actors on a prepared set is more effective than in a classroom office. Regarding this point, Shen Zhenghui can do what he wants, anyway, the starring role has been decided, and he also needs to help him find a temporary acting teacher, Pingjing Film Academy or Chinese opera teachers are good, if you use Japanese teachers or Hollywood teachers. In the end, it is inevitable that you will go astray.

But before that, he also had to host a Hollywood audition group brought by Gordon and Thomas.

"Mira, I want you to be a little stronger, knowing that the role you play is probably the most powerful magician at the moment, and everyone around you is afraid of her and is in awe. But they all know that although she is crazy, she is still a normal person who can communicate. Therefore, it is not possible to express fear. You have to grasp this degree. Shen Zhenghui said.

"Like a pretty woman who can feel free to express her bad mood and always find comfort?" Mira asked rhetorically.

"Not only that," Shen Zhenghui replied, "she should have a naïve idea in her heart that because I am the most powerful magician, you should worship me, and then she can also reap this worship, although she can realize that the people she talks to are not equal to her in every way, but she still gives them the gift of dialogue." Shen Zhenghui spread out his hand, "Look, this is what I said her mind is still normal." ”

"Okay. I'll try again. Mira closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and when she opened them again, she exuded the arrogance of a school bully from the inside out.

"Looks like you know me well?" She spoke her lines. No one played with her, but she naturally acted in the air, showing the demeanor of Her Royal Highness Princess Chris to the fullest.

"Good." Shen Zhenghui clapped his hands, "We will ponder the specific things when we shoot, I am very satisfied with your performance." He said. Then looked at Mark. Gordon, "It's also thanks to the excellent vision of Mr. Gordon and Mr. Thomas. ”

The two smiled gently. "You can ask your agent to call me later." Gordon said.

"Thank you." Mira made an elegant dress salute.

"We're going to shoot for a long time, and hopefully it won't delay Resident Evil 3, and I'm looking forward to that film." Shen Zhenghui replied.

"That film will not be filmed until next year." "We've got a lot of time," Thomas said. ”

Mira smiled and walked out as she obeyed.

"So. Who's next? Shen Zhenghui asked.

"Annie!" Thomas said.

The staff standing at the door began to shout, "Miss Hathaway! ”

Shen Zhenghui moved closer to Gordon and said in an intimate tone, "This feeling is really good. ”

Gordon seemed to misunderstand what he meant, and he raised his eyebrows. "You want her to come to you at night? Just ask directly when we communicate privately later. ”

Shen Zhenghui was almost about to spray rice, "Of course I didn't mean that," he was just excited that Mira's performance coincided with the image in his mind, "I was just excited to see their acting skills, and I couldn't wait to look forward to the movie, it was like a premonition that some kind of miracle was about to be born." ”

Gordon showed with a perfunctory look that he didn't believe Shen Zhenghui's foolishness, "We believe in you, you are professional," he said, "If it weren't for the fact that you stuffed so many Japanese girls into the crew, I would almost have doubted your orientation." ”

"Please, I have a girlfriend." Shen Zhenghui replied.

"Thomas still has a wife!"

"I don't have to be involved," Thomas hurriedly confessed, "I'm more than I can do now, and I'm thankful that I can get the job done." ”

The three of them get along day and night to make them much more casual when they speak, knowing that the other doesn't care about anything, and naturally they don't mind joking with each other. Sometimes, this is also a way to defuse hostility at work.

And Anne was obviously a little nervous after she walked in, although she rose to fame with "The Princess Diaries", and was therefore valued by large companies, and gradually took on roles in big productions such as "Magic Cinderella" and "Brokeback Mountain", but so far, she is still regarded as a fledgling little girl, and she does not have the ability to take the lead role alone and carry the box office in the big production zuò. And "The Magic Apprentice", which claims to invest $200 million, is favored by almost every Hollywood girl - of course, the top ones are not counted, they can't refuse, and more importantly, this is still a series of movies - think about it, Natalie. Why is Portman the leader among post-80s actresses? Of course, it is because "This Killer is Not Too Cold" became famous early, and the more important thing is "Star Wars". If you don't understand yet, look at "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings", although critics generally believe that Sony is taking another adventure, but there is hope that "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings" can be equaled at the moment. There is nothing but Apprentice Magic.

"Batman", "Spider-Man" or anything has no place for women at all. On the contrary, in "The Magic Apprentice", these female characters have a lot of room to play.

Anne knew she was still far from a career point where Natalie had already begun to work hard to win an Oscar, and until then, she was clearly not going to give up on the fight for a commercial film, let alone a shot in China. Even if she was filming a movie in North Korea, she would also audition.

"Hello, Annie." Gordon seemed to be familiar with Anne, "Give you time to prepare, let's see your performance first, you can pick a random scene of Princess Frannie." ”

Anne nodded, and then she looked around, where several screenwriters sat and watched. So Anne asked, "Can you find someone to help me put up a show?" ”

Gordon looked at Shen Zhenghui. Shen Zhenghui looked at the members of the screenwriting team, and the guy Lanjing shrank first.

"I'm coming!" Ning Huan volunteered.

"Pay attention to your English accent." Shen Zhenghui said.

"Don't worry!" Ning Huan was full of confidence, "I have learned the London dialect. ”

Anne also maintained a stern attitude when she saw this man who was almost half a head shorter than her, and the two of them communicated in English for a while until Ning Huan nodded and said OK.

Anne chose the scene where Princess Frannie was in Mercarus Fortress, where Joe taught Frankie about Kobe Li Ao proposing to use the "Doomsday Havoc" magic to kill the thieves and kill Sophion's squad as bait to lure away the knights of the thieves.

The gist of this scene is that the princess realizes that in order to eliminate the thieves, she will have to sacrifice a few knights who live with her day and night, so she resolutely agrees to Kobe Li Ao's request to perform the magic of "Doomsday Havoc" out of the choice of the superior. But she was still instinctively reluctant to face such a scene. So Joe, as the emperor's uncle, forced Frannie to watch the deaths of her knights herself, and asked her to take this qiē to heart. He said

"Your Royal Highness, you have the right to sacrifice anyone to protect the interests of the country, it is your duty, but, if. If you have made this decision clearly, then you are also obliged to completely imprint in your heart how much these people have contributed to the country, and I have not prevented you from making a decision. But I don't want you to make a decision and shirk your obligations. Come, take a good look at the final battle scene of our heroic knights. ”

This is a very good scene, at least it is a very difficult test of acting skills, and it can be said that it is quite difficult to play the complex feelings of Princess Frannie, the heir of the royal family, from youth to cruelty, and then reflect her growth in such a situation. Shen Zhenghui naturally knew what this person was working so hard for.

But that's Hollywood, you have to work hard, and then you're going to be luckier than everyone else.

Ning Huan playing Qiao can be said to be funny, but this makes Anne's performance even more difficult, listening to him read this line in a voice without intonation, Shen Zhenghui almost wants to laugh, and he lacks acting experience, almost like an endorsement, and is also quite stiff in his movements and body language, and the action of "forced" Franny to look in a certain direction can be said to be done carefully. This is not commensurate with the duke's cousin.

However, Anne's performance still shows how hard she has put into the script. This performance can be said to be colorful at least in terms of expression, even if it is a big close-up, I believe it will not be said that it cannot meet a few standards.

Of course, there is still a gap with Shen Zhenghui's imagination, her performance seems to draw on the exaggeration of the stage play, using enough expressions to express her feelings, and there seems to be some smugness. But in Shen Zhenghui's impression, the performance here should be a little more restrained.

Gordon probably saw the same problem, because according to the setting, this princess should maintain her instinctive reserve even in the case of a collapse.

So before Shen Zhenghui could speak, Gordon had already reminded her, "Annie, you should be a little restrained, don't use your expression so hard, you can strengthen your body language." ”

Strengthen body language? If it is strengthened, Ning Huan will fall.

Anne flashed a hint of chagrin, she asked for a few minutes of rest and adjustment, and after a few rounds of deep breaths, she had to talk to Ning Huan about the play, at her request. During the second performance, Ning Huan pressed her shoulders tightly and clamped her arms with his elbows.

Now Ning Huan's performance is even more stiff.

Annie's watch is a little more restrained, and the newly adjusted body movements prove that she has definitely designed more than one performance plan for this scene.

Shen Zhenghui leaned closer to Gordon, "I think the table has good potential, you can consider it." The specific performance method can be communicated during the specific shooting. ”

Gordon's face was gloomy and she nodded slightly, and this expression fell on Anne's eyes, which made her feel a little depressed.

"That's it for a few days, Anne," he said, "and we'll contact your agent directly later." ”

Anne walked out slightly disappointed, completely different from the one Mira had when she went out.

"So who's next?" Shen Zhenghui continued to ask.

Ning Huan still stood in place for a while, waiting for him to return to his position. Azulith, who was already familiar with him, knocked him on and asked, "How does it feel?" ”

"It's very peculiar." Ning Huan blinked.

"Isn't it the same as a woman? What's so peculiar? Blue crystal was surprised.

"I don't know," Ning Huan smacked his lips, "It just feels different." ”

"Really?" Blue Crystal asked in surprise.

"You also have a chance to go, if you don't go, let you go next time." Ning Huan replied impatiently.

"Forget it, I'll let it be given to you, I don't have the guts." Azurite waved her hand.

Bertina had the most auditions. The age range is basically in the range of 16 to 20 years old, and Gordon and Thomas really have a deep relationship in Hollywood. This made Shen Zhenghui see a lot of potential stocks, both in appearance and appearance, they are the best choice, and a few guys know who their parents or relatives are as soon as they hear the name. Emma didn't show up in the end, and if she came to play the role, it felt like a step back. For this, Gordon is still a little gloomy.

Ning Huan and Lanjing, who were qualified to sit on the sidelines and watch the audition selection, were eye-opening. The two people simply got together for a while to discuss the characteristics of Caucasian women in Chinese, which made Shen Zhenghui, who was seriously watching the actors' performances, couldn't help but want to smoke these two guys.

"Director, can you tell me why I can't?" A girl named Amanda didn't leave immediately after the audition, but stayed behind and asked in a loud voice.

Shen Zhenghui looked left and right and found that Thomas and Gordon were also looking at him. So I had to put down the pen in my hand, "I didn't say you can't." ”

"But generally speaking, isn't it just that asking someone else to go back and wait for the notice means that it can't be done?" Amanda looked at Shen Zhenghui boldly, "So can you tell me why I can't?" ”

Shen Zhenghui spread out his hands, "First of all, let me state that I didn't say that you can't, there are a lot of girls auditioning for Bertina today, we have to watch everyone, and it is impossible to make a decision on the spot to say who can." ”

"So what criteria do you use to choose your candidates?"

"We have scores."

"Can I know my score?" Amanda was aggressive, "I think I could." ”

"I like your confidence very much," Shen Zhenghui said, turning his head and glaring fiercely at Ning Huan and Lan Jing who were whispering, "But this won't work, I have to discuss it with these two producers before we can finally decide who will play this role, you just know my score is not good at all." ”

"So can you tell us about your requirements for this role?" Amanda boldly said, "I'm the last one, and there will be no more interviews with Bertina in the future." ”

Shen Zhenghui glanced at Gordon, and he made a gesture, "Beautiful girls have privileges." He said.

"Thanks," Amanda responded.

"Bertina is supposed to be an ordinary, kind-hearted, and hard-working girl who makes this kindness come true, although she also has a lot of girlish shortcomings, and her partner has to wipe her ass, but after being tested, she is a saint who does not consider herself a saint in her essence. Do you understand when I say that? ”

"I don't know very much," Amanda frowned, "I think there's a big difference in my appearance?" ”

"It's big," Shen Zhenghui nodded, and Amanda's expression became gloomy, "You are so beautiful, my impression of Bertina should be more ordinary and cute." ”

"But we have makeup artists." Gordon said quietly.

"Of course I can afford to be ugly!" Amanda said immediately.

"Yes, Miss Amanda, I'll keep your determination on record and consider its value." He nodded.

"Can I know my score?" Amanda was aggressive, "I think I could." ”

"I like your confidence very much," Shen Zhenghui said, turning his head and glaring fiercely at Ning Huan and Lan Jing who were whispering, "But this won't work, I have to discuss it with these two producers before we can finally decide who will play this role, you just know my score is not good at all." ”

"So can you tell us about your requirements for this role?" Amanda boldly said, "I'm the last one, and there will be no more interviews with Bertina in the future." ”

Shen Zhenghui glanced at Gordon, and he made a gesture, "Beautiful girls have privileges." He said.

"Thanks," Amanda responded.

"Bertina is supposed to be an ordinary, kind-hearted, and hard-working girl who makes this kindness come true, although she also has a lot of girlish shortcomings, and her partner has to wipe her ass, but after being tested, she is a saint who does not consider herself a saint in her essence. Do you understand when I say that? (To be continued......)
