55. Casting
That night, Su Zhen lived in this manor, the furniture was all ready-made, and the bedding was also brand new, so he could live in it after a little tidying, but it was true that such a large manor would have to ask a lot of servants to take care of it in the future.
The next morning, Su Zhen was woken up by a classic Nokia ringtone.
"Hello? I'm Su, which one" Su Zhen asked in a daze.
"Sue? I'm Shirley, where are you? I asked someone to pick you up from the hotel, but the hotel guy said you had checked out," Lansing said.
"Huh?" Su Zhen came to his senses at this time, he bought a house yesterday without notifying anyone, "Oh, I'm sorry, yesterday I thought I might come to Los Angeles often in the future, and I bought a house here in Beverly, I forgot to notify you, I'm really sorry"
"It's okay, you tell me the address and I'll have someone pick you up, it's not too early" Shirley replied.
Su Zhen looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was already eight o'clock, and it was less than an hour before the casting meeting, so he told Lan Xin the address of his new home.
"Wow, Su, you're really going to enjoy it, it's a pretty good manor." Lan Xin sighed after hearing Su Zhenbao's address.
"Why, do you know this way?" Su Zhen asked.
"Of course, it was built by a wealthy French merchant, but before he could move in, it was put up for sale because the business failed, which means that you are the real first owner of the estate," Lansing said with a smile
Oh? Su Zhen didn't expect that there was such a thing here, it seems that his luck is still good.
Hanging up the phone, Su Zhen began to wash up and prepare to go out.
"Honey, where are you going" Just when Su Zhen was dressing, a woman came out of the bed, who was not the real estate agent Lianna.
"I have something to do and I'm going to Paramount soon, you can go back by yourself" Su Zhen gave the order to expel the guest without pity.
"Okay~ Then I'll sleep for a while" Lena didn't mind, the two had no emotional foundation, it was just a ONENIGHT that happened because of mutual need, Lena would not be naïve to think that a young and wealthy man like Su Zhen would fall in love with herself, it was better to take this opportunity to enjoy it for a while.
Twenty minutes later, Paramount's men arrived. Because it is not in rush hour, and it is close to Hollywood, it takes more than ten minutes to get to the Paramount corporate building.
Speaking of which, Su Zhen and Paramount have been cooperating for a long time, but it is the first time to go to Palamon.
Su Zhen got out of the car and saw that Shirley Lansing was standing at the door, could it be that he was here to pick him up? Sure enough, Shirley walked over quickly after seeing Su Zhen, "HI, Su, you're here."
"I'm really sorry, I was negligent, but I didn't expect you to greet me in person," Su Zhen said.
"Yes, in a sense, you are also my boss" Shirley smiled, yes, because Paramount didn't have any big productions this year, so this twilight with Su Zhen was regarded as the top priority by Viacom and Paramount's senior management, and the producer was directly served by Lansing, the chairman of the company, so Su Zhen, as an investor, was Lansing's boss in this movie, and he also said in the past, of course, Su Zhen wouldn't really think so.
After that, Shirley took Su Zhen to the conference room where the interview meeting was held, not because she didn't take Su Zhen to have a good visit, but there were only ten minutes left before the interview.
The conference room was on the fourth floor, and on the way to the conference room, Su Zhen saw that there was already a long queue on the left and right sides of the aisle at this moment, extending down the stairs to the third floor.
After entering the conference room, I found that director Peter Jackson was already sitting inside, drinking coffee, and there was a person sitting next to Su Zhen who surprised Su Zhen, that's right, it was Charlize Theron, the heroine who had been decided.
"Hi Peter, hi Charlize," Su Zhen greeted the two.
"Hello, Sue" After the bearded Peter Jackson saw Su Zhen, he stood up and gave Su Zhen a big hug, and took him to sit next to Theron, "Your vision is very good, it is rare for an actress like Miss Charlize to be a good actress, and what is even more rare is her beauty"
"Really?" Su Zhen looked at Charlize Theron when he heard this, it was not easy to get praise from this director, although at this time the other party was not as famous as the later director of the Lord of the Rings, but now he is also a big director with a very high status in Hollywood, and he is very harsh on actors, South African Diamond winked at Su Zhen with a smile on the side.
"I didn't expect there to be so many people, it seems that this casting is not an easy job." After sitting down, Su Zhen sighed.
"Ha Luha, this is mainly because your novel is too popular and famous, and there are not so many people in ordinary movie auditions," Jackson laughed boldly.
"Yes, your novel is so popular in the United States, and it is a popular theme, it is difficult to make a movie and want to lose, I don't know how many actors in Lu Dao want to become famous once they want to use it" Shirley laughed on the side.
Soon the audition began, the chief examiners were naturally Lansing and Jackson, Su Zhen was not familiar with the process, so he was a bystander, and did not ask questions directly, and Su Zhen found that there was not much difference between the audition process and the workplace interview, the only difference was probably the live performance. Since the task this time is mainly to choose two male leads, Charlize's main task is to play the role. Maybe the heroine is too beautiful, many of the actors were ugly and distracted during the audition process, and the two interviewers shook their heads again and again, and there were actually a few people who showed their love on the spot and staged a few farces, which made Su Zhen very ridiculous and Charlize Theron very embarrassed.
In fact, Su Zhen did not consider those familiar candidates among the stars of later generations, but either he has become famous, the salary is too high, or he has not grown up yet, the only thing that comes to mind is that he is more suitable to play the No. 1 actor Edward, is the later elf prince, Orlando Bloom, as a result, I inquired about this unlucky child who broke his back at this time, and this time he is recuperating in the hospital.
Time passed quickly, and by noon, there were only more than 40 people auditioning, and the protagonists were not decided, but the supporting roles were set, and then Lan Xin went out to announce the suspension of the audition, continued at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and notified that he would come back tomorrow after the 100th, because according to the current situation, it is almost the same to be able to audition for 100 people a day, and there are more than 300 people who come to audition, that is to say, it will take at least three days to complete all the auditions.
At noon, the four of them had a light meal together at a nearby restaurant, and after a short break, they started auditioning again.
"Next, James. Frank," shouted the staff outside the door.
When James. After Frank came in, he immediately attracted Su Zhen's attention, because he felt that this man was very familiar, but he really had no image of this name, but this person's image was good, he was dressed up a little, he was definitely a noble son, and Edward's image was very suitable, and his performance was slightly green, but he was very serious and devoted, and he was not affected by Charlize Theron at all, and won the favor of several people present.
Peter discussed with Shirley for a few words, then turned around and asked Su Zhen, "What do you think of him?" ”
Su Zhen nodded, "Very good, very suitable for the role of Edward."
"Then it is decided," said Peter.
What Su Zhen didn't know was that the later James Frank's fame was not small, he played the second male lead in the Spider-Man movie, that is, the son of the Green Goblin, Harry, the noble son, and his outstanding performance made this tragic mission leave a very deep impression, so Su Zhen felt familiar, but Su Zhen didn't know about it, if he knew that he had inadvertently excavated such a big card, it was estimated that he would have to get up again.
After that, there were no actors who impressed Su Zhen in the afternoon auditions, and the actor of the second male Jacob did not find a suitable one, so the audition for the day ended here.
After a day's work, Su Zhen and a few people said goodbye and returned to the manor he had just bought, Su Zhen originally wanted to invite Charlize Theron to his new manor as a guest, but after thinking about it, no, God knows if the Lena at home has gone, in case she is still there, and brings Charlize over, but there is no way to explain it, although the woman seems to be quite interesting, but Su Zhen is not sure that it is not? And now the manor is in ruins, there is not even a servant, and it is not easy to invite someone to entertain, right?
After Su Zhen returned to the manor, he looked at it, and found no shadow of Lena everywhere, thinking that he was leaving, but the bedroom he slept in last night was still a mess, and Su Zhen didn't bother to clean up, so he directly changed the bedroom to sleep, and now Su Zhen felt the benefits of the bedroom, as for the original one, when the casting of the film company is over, and the housekeeper and maid are recruited, they will clean it up.
