Chapter 113: Audition in New York
After entering April, "The Bodyguard", which signed a long-term screening contract, was completely offline in North America, and this film, which has attracted countless people's attention since the birth of the script, did not live up to the turmoil caused by Ryan and Tom Cruise, and won more than 178 million US dollars at the box office, steadily overpowering "Beauty and the Beast", occupying the second place in the box office list in 1991.
As for the first place, it is naturally "Terminator 2", in addition, "Sleepless in Seattle" also ranked fifth with a box office of more than $135 million.
So the situation reappeared in 1990, and the top two box office charts in North America were all Ryan-related works.
Also, in the past two years, "The Sixth Sense" and "Home Alone" have basically been released in overseas markets that Hollywood movies can enter, with the former winning nearly $630 million at the global box office and the latter exceeding $500 million at the global box office.
weishenme? What exactly is this weishenme? Many professionals in the film industry want to analyze the reasons, and major film companies also want to find some rules from it, so that their movies can also sell well.
Ryan certainly wouldn't tell them it was weishenme.
After entering late April, some controversies in the media gradually subsided, and lace gossip once again became the mainstream of the entertainment industry, especially the bad boy Johnny Depp, when dating Winona Reid, the woman was harassed by the paparazzi.
Everyone's attention immediately shifted to the golden boy and girl, and then the media broke the news that the infatuated Johnny Depp tattooed the tattoo of 'Always Love Winona' on his right arm in order to express his love for Winona Reid, which made people have to marvel at the innocent and infatuated side of the rebellious boy, which caused many female fans to sigh.
Even though Depp is now full of problems, drinking and taking drugs, he is a person with a true temperament, but it is a pity......
Sitting on the plane, Ryan was studying the gossip in the newspaper, and no one knew better than him that it wouldn't take long for Winona Reid to kick Depp and start maneuvering among the handsome guys in Hollywood, and Johnny Depp was no longer an Aiqing believer, and began to transform into a prodigal son.
Hollywood is full of **, not only playboys, but also a lot of playboy princesses, Winona Ryder later became a woman**, hunting men everywhere, just like the actress who likes to collect stamps on the other side of the Pacific.
Ryan vaguely remembers that Keanu Reeves, Heath Ledger, Matt Damon and other male stars have become her guests, and there are countless others who can't remember their names.
Forget it, these are none of their business, just look at them as gossip and anecdotes, Depp is still a literary and artistic young man, and he will have to wait until after the new century to become Tianwang Mountain.
However, celebrities like Depp are the most popular people with paparazzi and entertainment magazines, and there is never a shortage of news around them, even if there is no news, under the deliberate provocation of the paparazzi, they will create some news.
Having been in this circle for two years, Ryan knows very well that if it weren't for the paparazzi violating Winona Reid, Johnny Depp would never have smashed people with a stool, and in some ways, those guys really should have been beaten...... Well, it would be even more wonderful if they provoked Sean Penn, who dared to shoot directly at reporters at his and Madonna's wedding.
He is now a minor, and those guys dare not be too presumptuous because of children's law, as long as his sixteenth birthday is over, what happens to Depp and these people will probably befall him.
Alerted by the flight attendant, Ryan put down the newspaper, fastened his seat belt, and the Boeing passenger plane slowly landed at JFK Airport.
After returning to school for more than half a month, he took another leave of absence to New York, where Luc Besson's team rented a studio and was holding a huge audition for Matilda.
The French fat man is not only a director and producer, but also a businessman, after coming to New York, the crew is not low-key at all, not only played the banner of Ryan Jenkins's latest masterpiece early, and publicized the news that "Killer Leon" is about to start filming, but also made a lot of noise about Matilda's casting activities, making full use of Ryan's fame and brighter and brighter golden signs, creating a number of topics that made the media hype.
Although I don't know the specific plot of the movie, Ryan's works have become popular with many stars, not to mention anything else, just look at Macaulay Culkin, who starred in "Home Alone 2" instead of him, and immediately became one of the popular child stars in Hollywood after the movie was released last year.
Even though the crew clearly stipulates that the candidates for the audition must be girls who grew up in New York or surrounding satellite cities, more than 2,000 people participated in the first round of auditions.
It can be seen that there is no shortage of people who dream of becoming famous and thus entering Hollywood.
Unlike in her previous life, where she was brushed in the first round, Natalie easily made it to the second round.
Since the release of "The Sixth Sense", there is a goal ahead that wants to be surpassed, this proud and strong girl has always held back a force in her heart, she has to work harder than the one in her previous life, and similarly, her ambition is greater.
Although Luc Besson used the agitation method and Natalie as a breakthrough to have this large-scale audition, Ryan will not cheapen the French in vain, and the person who serves as the production manager is Julis Stewart, who is the head of Jenkins Films.
This is Hollywood, not France, and if you want to break into this circle, you have to follow the rules of the game.
Ryan is not worried at all, even if Luc Besson vetoes Natalie, Julis can also veto his candidacy.
Of course, this is just Zuihou's choice, and it is not good for anyone to tear the face.
The studio is located in Brooklyn, and when Ryan and Kinsley walked in, the chairs outside the audition room were already full, and more than a dozen girls were waiting anxiously in the company of their parents or agents.
As if telepathically, Ryan found Natalie at a glance, and she sat next to her mother and saw him as well.
Natalie didn't say anything on the surface, and quietly gave him a look, and Ryan gave him a clear look, gave up his past plans, lowered the brim of his hat, hurried a few steps, and walked into the audition room.
"Hello, Mr. Besson." After the staff closed the door, Ryan said hello to the fat French man standing behind the camera, said a few more words to Julis, and sat aside.
Professional things will naturally be done by professional people, he just needs to look at it, anyway, there is only one Matilda in his mind.
After a few people in a row, a little blonde girl walked in, with a delicate appearance and a calm demeanor.
"My name is Kirsten Dunst, I was born in 1982 and I have played roles in New York Story and The Witch Courier Service......"
Unlike the previous ones, the girl sat on the chair and was not nervous at all, and from her self-introduction, it could be heard that she should be a girl with rich performance experience.
However, even without Natalie, her chances of getting this role are infinitely close to zero, for the simple reason that Mary Jane in her previous life was too young for Luc Besson to choose unless she was dizzy.
Even through her eyes and expressions, she tried to show her precociousness.
Subsequently, Kirsten, with the cooperation of the staff, performed a plot of Matilda, which may not be visible to other Ryan, but the acting skills can distinguish one or two, and she is indeed more than one step better than the previous ones.
"That's it for now, Miss Dunst, and we'll let your agent know the results of the audition as soon as possible." Luc Besson looks up from behind the camera.
"Director Xiexie Besson and Lady Julis!" She put down the makeshift props, bowed, and her eyes suddenly flashed, "I...... Can I ask Ryan for an autograph? ”
As she spoke, she looked over to where Ryan was sitting.
"Okay."
Ryan frowned slightly, no one who could get rid of the curse of a child star in his previous life was a fool, and he used this kind of method without a trace to get in touch with himself, but unfortunately, he would not express his opinion unless he had to.
Closing the small notepad, Ryan handed it back, Kirsten showed a bright smile, looking cute and sweet, "Xiexie, Ryan, you are my idol!" ”
"You're welcome."
This girl is really unusual, if it weren't for Natalie's precociousness and intelligence, Ryan would even wonder if there was an adult's soul hidden in the other party's young body.
To be honest, this kind of work is very boring and boring, and if it weren't for his friends, he wouldn't have the interest to continue watching.
However, there are always some unexpected discoveries in such a huge audition, such as the one who is coming in now.
The girl has beautiful black hair, fair skin comparable to Nicole Kidman, and is nearly five feet seven inches tall, looking like a professional model, which is particularly eye-catching.
However, her overly long face spoils this beauty, and although Ryan sees her unusually photogenic from the camera, she is ...... in reality
Maybe it's more appropriate to describe it differently, this girl is completely different people in the camera and in reality, you can faintly see the demeanor of the elf princess in the camera, but in reality she has an overly long face.
"My name is Liv Taylor, I'm a model, and I've starred in several music videos......"
Because of Natalie, Ryan watched a lot of behind-the-scenes footage of "Killer Leon" in his previous life, and knew that Luc Besson's original candidate was Liv Taylor, and later her name was added because of Natalie's self-recommendation.
Sure enough, after Liv Taylor left, Luc Besson had a satisfied look in his eyes, "This girl is very good, I think she is very suitable." ”
…… I saw a lot of friends leaving messages today, Xiexie everyone has been supporting, thank you very much! Let's say a few points, about business, there is an explanation above, the money earned by the protagonist is handed over to investors for investment, this book occasionally has commercial actions, and it will only be briefly brought over, everything is for the movie, and the protagonist will only be in the entertainment industry...... There is also about the past life, except for the entertainment industry, there will be no entanglement with those people in the previous life, and the past has gone with the wind......
