Chapter 65: The Audition
Angelina is pregnant! Chen Bo is going to be a father!!
Either of them, one of them is the darling of the media industry, whether they are brought out individually.
One is an actress with the highest salary in Hollywood, and she is a native of Los Angeles and an actor family. Both the figure, appearance and news index are top-notch, not to mention the number of public figures who are actively involved in philanthropy.
The other one is not only in the entertainment industry. You can find him everywhere, across the east and west coasts of the United States, and pick two American babes! From Pengcheng to Silicon Valley, there is a magical legend of him in the circle, Microsoft has to give in front of him, and the citizens of New York have to praise him as a hero!
The future monarch of the British Empire had a personal relationship with him, the Middle Eastern royal family had a close relationship with him, and the Singapore government was with him...... Well, this is a cooperation at most.
Anyway, across several continents, it is enough to fight all over the Internet industry. Now that he has stepped into the Hollywood entertainment industry again, he has formed a legendary entertainment team to challenge Hollywood's six major with a high-profile attitude, who else is such a topical character?
Just ask you, who else?!
It's not a secret that the two of them are together, but the two of them are going to have mixed races, which is amazing!
Angelina herself has mixed blood from 5 countries, plus Chen Bo, an Asian American, then it is not 6 countries, it is simply a slip away. Although Chen Bo is not a handsome child, at least his facial features are more attractive, how powerful genes does their child have? After birth, he is either a handsome guy or a little beauty, and he will never be able to run.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately sparked heated discussions among everyone, and even Manchester City fans in the UK began to worry about the future small boss.
Chen Bo's speech also spread to the world, although he was a playboy who was attacked by many feminist rights, but this passage made those women exactly what they wanted, and Angelina was indeed very real. Hypocrisy? It seems that there has never been, who has not been young and frivolous, who has not rebelled?
So there are countless fans, but Huaxin is still unforgivable, and he still has to be scolded.
After the news spread, Chen Bo's phone calls never stopped, and they all came to bless him, which was different from the embarrassed Qingyu. She is lost and recovered, not since she was pregnant, she has attracted much attention, and for fear that she will be hurt, she is also very careful about her protection, and the basic media can't see it, and even if she does, she will be publicized off.
Although she is pregnant, Angelina is not so pretentious, and work still needs to be done.
Chen Bo also personally sent her to the set, firstly, to give out red envelopes to make everyone happy, and secondly, to let the crew take care of her, a pregnant woman, but fortunately, she did not have a strong pregnancy reaction, she should eat, drink, and her usual fitness is still quite helpful to her.
Chen Bo is even more popular in the legendary entertainment company, whether it is an errand or a clerk, and the face value of $10 is enough to buy a hamburger package. Although the behavior of giving red envelopes to children does not belong to the Chinese tradition, it has formed a small craze in Hollywood, after all, it has a beautiful meaning.
Angelina has been constantly surrounded by happiness and blessings these days, of course, her mood is exceptionally good, and the work of the crew is not delayed. It's rare to leave work early, and as soon as I entered the house, I saw Chen Bo wearing an apron to greet him.
"My dear, how many times have I said that the job of cooking is left to the nanny, her Chinese cooking skills are no worse than yours."
"She went to pick up the children, mainly tonight I asked a guest to eat at home."
"Who is so important?"
"Listen to me first, don't get excited!" Chen Bo put his hands on her shoulders and said seriously, "You are now a mother, you should be able to experience the feeling of being an elder, right?" Jon is your biological father anyway, and he used to be the one who broke the news to the media without holding back his mouth, but I've talked to him about it and he regrets it very much. You don't want our children to be born without grandparents, do you? You can't let her call that old rascal Donald grandpa?! ”
"Poof", Angelina laughed, just because of the last sentence, the image of Trupp's golden lion king and old rascal has long been complained about by him many times in private, so that the child calls him grandpa? It was a disaster.
"It's true that this is a bit of an emotional kidnapping, and I asked to come to the house without your consent, but how can there be overnight hatred between father and daughter? If there is a conflict between me and Qingyu and Wanyu in the future, you will do the same, and you will treat him as a poor old man. ”
After thinking for a while, Angelina was finally persuaded by him, nodded and said, "Then for your sake, I will talk to him calmly, if he still has the same attitude as before, I will not forgive!" ”
"That's right." Chen Bo took her hand and walked towards the living room.
The old man who was secretly sad in the room was already full of silver hair, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, he immediately got up a little crampedly, and behind the tall young man was his own daughter, who had been disconnected from him for several years. The old man choked up a little in his throat and said, "You...... It's back. ”
Angelina just hummed, and then twisted her head elsewhere, how could the knot in her heart be untied so quickly.
"Let's talk first, and I'll make some specialty dishes." Chen Bo gave the old man a look and walked away to make room for their father and daughter.
This old man is Jon Voight, a veteran Hollywood actor, who has been nominated for an Oscar four times and won an award once. And he became a monk halfway, and his strength is not bad. Except for a few marriages, there is nothing unbearable, and he is quite conscientious.
Angelina began acting with Jon for the first time when she was 6 years old, and "Tomb Raider" is also their joint work. However, it was also at that time that her mental condition was not good, and it was normal for Jon, a father, to be worried, but she shouldn't have said this to the media, which made her feel even worse, and she broke off the father-daughter relationship in a fit of rage.
After adopting Jiayan, she divorced again, and she met Chen Bo again with a calm mind, and she has experienced so many things, and now she is a mother for the first time. has gradually broken away from the deviant, unruly girlish character.
Jon is a devout Christian, now in his 60s, and has long regretted his daughter's coldness, and when the young son-in-law, who is engaged in Hollywood, comes to him, he immediately nods in agreement.
Chen Bo was in the kitchen, busy for a long time, and the three children over there had already returned from school.
With a few more cute imps, it can also act as lube between the awkward conversations between their father and daughter.
Especially when the three little dots were secretly instructed by Chen Bo, they gathered in front of Jon and called "Grandpa...... Grandpa", no matter how great the hatred is, it will come to naught in the face of traditional family ethics and morality.
When the meat and vegetarian food were put on the table, although the father and daughter were not as reconciled as before, they did not have so much hatred.
has his own children, and also resolved the conflict between father and daughter, and the back garden is peaceful, so the work is naturally much smoother, and even wants to make a small production movie by himself.
One is to fulfill one's own little dreams, and the other is to experience the process of filmmaking firsthand, starting from the grassroots level.
After the script was determined, he paid for it himself, and the budget was only 8 million US dollars.
Then it's time for casting, just send notices to the agency and the actors' union, but it's impossible to have any big-name actors for such a small production. The salary is only 20%-30% of the total budget, and the maximum amount that the film can pay to the actors is $2.4 million.
Chen Bo personally participated in the actor audition, and in order to hide his youth, he even deliberately wore an earthy yellow coat and a black-framed flat mirror. Of course, the signature is also his trumpet: Dongfang Yue!
"Emma Stone?" Chen Bo looked at the blonde-haired girl in front of him and read the name on his resume.
"Yes, Mr. Director." Emma immediately replied, "I have acted in more than a dozen stage plays in the youth theater company in Phoenix, and this year I also participated in TV series such as "The Medium" and "Lucky Louie......"
"I'm sorry, but I don't watch TV shows and I'm not interested in personal stories." Chen Bo directly interrupted her, and then handed her a page, "This is a paragraph of the script, start your performance." ”
Since it is an audition, it has to be performed, and it has to be non-physical, which is a compulsory course for actors.
There are many young people like her who have dreams in Hollywood, just like the "North Drifter" family at the gate of Yan Film Studio, it is okay to call them "Dock Drift". And there are not a few Chinese among them, who can earn $100 a day, and the pressure of life is much less than that of "North Drift".
Emma's performance is not very problematic, but it can be let go, but it can also be seen that she is not from a professional background.
"Mr. Director, I'm okay with this, right?" Emma, who finished the performance, asked impatiently.
"It's not a big problem." Chen Bo nodded, "But the heroine in the play is a mature girl who has been emotionally traumatized, you are too young, although I am optimistic about your future development, but this role is not too suitable for you." ”
"Oh. Thank you, Director! Emma bowed slightly and was about to leave the office.
Chen Bo said again after she turned around, "But there is a supporting role with few scenes, if you don't mind, you can try it." ”
"Really?" Emma, who was originally disappointed, turned around, overjoyed, and said incredulously, "I don't mind, I don't mind at all." ”
"Make a note of her contact information, and let her know in advance when the time comes." Chen Bo turned his head and said to the staff beside him.
He didn't know why he changed his mind at the last minute, Emma is only 17 years old this year, and her appearance can only be described as ordinary, probably because of those eyes with infinite longing that moved him.
"Call the next one."
Chen Bo lowered his head and prepared to greet the next interviewer.
"Director Dongfang, what do you think of me?"
A magnetic and familiar voice came from the doorway!
