Chapter 1551 - Big Names Supporting Role
After a fierce audition, the final 120 people who were selected for the primary election gathered in Los Angeles to participate in the final selection.
At this time, Cui Zhengyuan is no longer hiding.
In the final selection, as the head of the chief, there is no reason for him not to be present.
Before the selection process, the interview team categorized the list of 120 people according to their different roles.
The advantage of this is that there will be no confusion among the interviewers because of the different roles of the people interviewing at the same time, which is not conducive to the selection of suitable roles.
According to the weight of the role, the first person to start the interview is the actor of Svein, the leader of the villain Strategist in the first part.
Choi Jung-won, assistant director, chief cinematographer, makeup artist, and special effects artist served as judges, and they are also looking forward to this global selection to surprise them.
After all the arrangements were made, the staff came out and began to let the candidates enter in turn according to the number.
The first person to come in was a British actor, in his fifties, with a face of vicissitudes.
What is especially impressive is that his figure is thin and slightly hunchbacked, which is very similar to the image of Svein.
After listening to his self-introduction, I realized that although this person was not well-known, he was an experienced old actor.
In particular, he once played Quasimodo, the bell ringer in "Notre Dame de Paris", and also won the French Best Actor Award for Stage Play.
With such qualifications, Cui Zhengyuan can't afford not to pay attention to it.
And in the design of "League of Legends", Svein is also a disabled person who has suffered repeatedly. An actor who has had similar performance experience is undoubtedly much easier to control.
But after watching this actor's performance, Cui Zhengyuan couldn't help frowning, and finally gave him an answer to wait for the notice.
This means that the actor will be an alternate. If there is no better one than him in the future, then he will get the role.
And what he didn't satisfy Cui Zhengyuan was. The performance traces of the stage play are too heavy.
The board is full of performance tension, affectionate and colorful. It's a pity that such a performance won't work in the movie.
It can be seen that the competition for the role of Svein is fierce.
After all, he is the number one villain in the movie, and he has a lot of opportunities and shots. coupled with a generous salary, many old actors who think they are powerful are flocking to it.
In one morning, Cui Zhengyuan interviewed more than 30 people.
It's a pity that Cui Zhengyuan has high expectations for this movie, so only three of these people have been answered waiting for notice. The rest, on the spot, sued them for being eliminated.
After a hasty lunch, the interview continued.
Staff briefed. There are still two dozen candidates left. In other words, today's one-day interview is all about selecting a suitable role for Svein.
Cui Zhengyuan rubbed his face and ordered, "Go ahead and let the next one come in." ”
After a while, an oriental actor Shi Shiran, who was in his fifties, walked in. Seeing this figure, Cui Zhengyuan immediately stood up.
His face was full of surprise and joy, and he was very surprised. "No, Fa Ge. How did you get here? ”
That's right, this actor who walked in quietly is none other than China's top superstar Chow Yun-fat.
Although Choi Jung-won already knows that many well-known actors have participated in the audition, he is a well-known figure like Chow Yun-fat who is famous all over the world. Still not expected.
Chow Yun-fat is much older, but his demeanor is still free and easy.
hugged Cui Zhengyuan and stood in the interviewer's position. "It's a rare opportunity. That's why I want to give it a try. ”
Cui Zhengyuan walked back to his position and said with a smile: "Then I'm not welcome, let's follow the procedure." All right? ”
Chow Yun-fat nodded and said very agreeably: "It should be, it should be, you can just choose according to your marking." Whether I succeed or not, I have worked hard. ”
Since he is his acquaintance, Cui Zhengyuan is not easy to lead. So this time he gave up the power of the interview to the assistant director, and he became a spectator himself.
The assistant director is Spielberg's right-hand man, and his position is very firm, and he will not take care of the relationship between Cui Zhengyuan and the other party, and he starts from the needs of the film.
He sent several questions to Zhou Yun one after another, all of which involved Svein's performance. But Chow Yun-fat is old enough, but unfortunately even Choi Jung-won can't be satisfied with what he performs.
How to say it, Chow Yun-fat has been used to being the protagonist all these years. Although every move tries to show Xiàn evil and insidious, it always gives people a sense of righteousness and awe-inspiring.
The temperament is wrong, and no matter how good the acting is, it is useless.
The assistant director looked disappointed, shook his head and said to Chow Yun-fat: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, your image doesn't meet our needs, and we are sorry that you came from afar but returned disappointed." ”
Hearing that he had been returned directly, Chow Yun-fat was slightly stunned and immediately relaxed his mentality. "It's okay, it's that I'm not good enough."
He's a guy who goes to Hollywood, and he knows what it's like here. The only thing I feel frustrated about is that I can't get recognition.
Cui Zhengyuan did not expect to meet Chow Yun-fat in the distant United States, you must know that the two have not seen each other for more than ten years.
Another one, the other party is an actor he admired in his past and present lives. Seeing the disappointment in Chow Yun-fat's eyes, Cui Zhengyuan couldn't help but feel a little sad.
When he was depressed, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he immediately shouted, "Wait." ”
Chow Yun-fat, who was just about to go out, and the other interviewers were all stunned and fixed their eyes on him.
Chow Yun-fat thought that Cui Zhengyuan wanted to comfort himself, while the other interviewers looked ugly.
They also thought that Cui Zhengyuan wanted to use the power in his hands to open the back door to Chow Yun-fat. You must know that Europeans and Americans do not have this kind of sophistication, even if he is a producer, it is difficult to make others accommodating.
It's a pity that they all thought wrong, Cui Zhengyuan has another purpose.
"Brother Fa, please wait. I just had an idea, I wonder if you can try out other characters? ”
He said this passage in English, and the purpose was to tell everyone that he had no intention of opening the back door.
Hearing him say this, the faces of the other interviewers all softened.
It turned out that Choi Jung-won was after watching Chow Yun-fat's performance. felt that he should be able to fit into other roles, rather than opening the back door and forcing him to play the heavy Svein.
Although there is still a human factor in it, it is not so unacceptable.
In Hollywood, this kind of thing is also commonplace. It is not uncommon for an actor to apply for this role to be more suitable for another role during an interview.
Of course, the premise is that Chow Yun-fat must also be able to meet the role that Cui Zhengyuan has found for him, and Chow Yun-fat must agree.
I heard that Choi Jung-won wanted to let himself try other roles, and Chow Yun-fat had nothing to do.
He heard about the audition for "League of Legends" in Xiangjiang, and now that he is older, his itinerary has become much less.
So in the spirit of thinking, it doesn't hurt to give it a try. He participated in the audition in China.
Perhaps the interviewer in charge of the region was frightened by Chow Yun-fat's fame, or more likely that his acting skills conquered the interviewer, so the actor came here.
If you can't play Svein, it doesn't matter if you play other roles.
"Okay, what role do you think I'm suitable for?" Chow Yun-fat asked with a smile.
After all, he is one of the biggest actors in Asia, and he can't handle any role. Even if the role of this character is not as good as Svein, it can't be too bad.
The more Cui Zhengyuan looked at it, the more he felt that Chow Yun-fat met his ideals, and said with a smile: "It is the father of the male protagonist in the film, King Gavin III of the Federation of Demacia." ”
Gavin III is only a passing mention in the League of Legends story. There is no specific description. But in the movie, the role of this character must be indispensable.
As the father of Gawain IV and the de facto ruler of Demacia, one of the most important forces in League of Legends, the character of Gawain III will be used throughout the series.
Especially in the plot designed by Spielberg. Gawain III was able to re-emerge after his son's setback, playing a crucial role.
It was his encouragement and encouragement that brought Gawain IV out of the shadow of defeat and capture and returned to the top.
So if such a role is played by Chow Yun-fat. The old and strong, strong and determined Jiawen III is definitely an image that cannot be ignored.
After listening to Cui Zhengyuan's explanation, Chow Yun-fat couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Although there are not many opportunities for Gavin III to play. But this character will be throughout the series, so it adds up to a lot.
And the other interviewers also agree with Cui Zhengyuan's choice.
They have all seen Chow Yun-fat's acting skills just now, they don't have to pick and choose, they are definitely the most powerful top storage in the world.
What's more, he, like Cui Zhengyuan, is an Oriental. With the same skin color and hair color, it looks more like father and son.
"I agree, Zhou is definitely a qualified actor." The stylist scanned back and forth between Choi Jung-won and Chow Yun-fat a few times, and finally came up with his own ideas.
"I agree." The videographer also has no opinion,
"Brother Fa, what is your opinion?" Cui Zhengyuan saw that there was no problem on his side, so he turned to ask Chow Yun-fat whether he agreed or not.
After all, from the full-weight Svein to the occasional Chow Yun-fat, it is not strange that people do not agree.
But Choi Jung-won's explanation clearly intrigued Chow Yun-fat. "It seems to be not bad, the most important thing is to be able to play your father, and I can also be majestic. Oh well, I promised. ”
Cui Zhengyuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed out of his seat again and gave Chow Yun-fat a big hug.
He invested a lot in this film, and if he wanted to recover the cost and create an ideal profit, then attracting the audience became a necessary condition.
And Chow Yun-fat's storage zài is definitely a full attraction for Chinese audiences. (To be continued......)
