In an atmosphere that is a little strict, but not too tense, the casting of the heroine of "Transformers 4" has finally begun.

The actresses who came to the interview got the number plates in the order they arrived, and now the staff was instructed to call the interviewers who got the number one number plate outside.

"Huh?" The talent had just come in, and before he had yet stepped into the position, he had not yet introduced himself, and even before he could see the appearance of this person clearly, Li Jingyuan had already snorted unconsciously because of an accident.

Interviewing for a role is like looking for a job, and the actresses who come to the interview must also hand over the information they bring to the interviewer first. Michael Bay, Ian Bryce and others came earlier, and first got the information sorted out by the staff, and they had already looked through it. And Li Jingyuan came a little later, so it was only at this time that he opened the Wen Jiàn folder.

After flipping through the first page and seeing the first document, he realized that it was an 'acquaintance'.

"Please introduce yourself~." Maybe he didn't hear it, or maybe he didn't care about it after hearing it, Michael Bay, as the director, first gave an order to the No. 1 interviewer.

"My name is CholeWang, I am of mixed Chinese and American descent, born in '92, and I am 20 years old this year...... The visitor looked a little nervous, but it was still within the acceptable range.

Unlike several others, Li Jingyuan did not listen carefully to her self-introduction, and did not even carefully observe her expression when she introduced herself, but was still carefully looking at her information. By this time. Li Jingyuan can already be sure, and the interviewer in front of him who is in the first order is indeed the person in his memory.

CholeWang, Chinese name is Wang Keying. Just listening to this name, it seems that many people can't remember who she really is. However, if you say the name Skye to people who have watched the American drama "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", many people will have her face in their minds.

That's right, Chole is the actor who played Skye in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

In that series, although Agent Coulson is the first protagonist, but. As a key character with a deep plot background and a large number of plots, Skye's role is obviously also very important.

And for Marvel, which has entered the film and television industry. The American drama "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is also very important. Although there have been blockbusters such as "Iron Man", "Captain America", "Thor", and "The Avengers" one after another, and they have all received very good box office revenues, those blockbusters are still movies after all. It is not of much help to Marvel, which also wants to open the door in the TV drama circle.

It is not only to open up the market in the TV drama circle. It is also in order to further expand the status of 'superheroes' in the hearts of the audience, so Marvel will produce the American drama "S.H.I.E.L.D." across fields.

For Marvel, the significance of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is important, and for "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", THE CHARACTER OF SKYE IS IMPORTANT. So, how can Marvel be sloppy when it comes to choosing characters? After their careful selection, Chole was given the role of Skye. That's enough to prove that she's outstanding.

And Tessa, the heroine that Li Jingyuan and others are going to choose today, is not necessarily more important than Skye in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.". Just take that into account. Li Jingyuan already felt that the appearance of Chole was a big threat to Xiao T.

And, even more threatening, it's Chole's half-race identity. You must know that after Li Jingyuan revised the script, the heroine Tessa in the setting is a mixed-race beauty, and she is also a mixed-race Chinese and American like Chole. In terms of appearance alone, Chole has already got a head start.

Because I wanted Xiao T to have a greater confidence in getting the heroine, I made some detailed changes to the script, but I didn't expect that a competitor closer to the revised heroine appeared.

"Lee, do you have any comments?" By the time Lee Kyung-won was distracted, Michael Bay and Ian Bryce had already asked Chole several questions and asked her to do some performances. After getting feedback, both of them had some ideas and made some notes in the notebook in their hands. At this time, the two found that Li Jingyuan, who was also an interviewer, had not spoken, so they thought that Li Jingyuan had any other opinions, so they hurriedly asked in a small voice.

"I ......." Originally, I wanted to say 'Tessa in the script is a seventeen-year-old cheerleader who is going to show a dance performance at the beginning', and then embarrass Chole with the title of singing and dancing, but after seeing a few lines of the resume in front of him, Li Jingyuan had to swallow the words back.

In the documents Chole handed in, it was clearly stated that she was more than just an actress. In fact, before today's audition, she was more of a singer. As early as the age of three, she was already learning skills such as stage acting, singing, dancing and saxophone at the Montessori School in the United States. And when she was 16 years old, that is, in 2008, she returned to the Celestial Empire, and in 09 she participated in the performance of the Heat Wave Music Festival in the same year, and released a single called "UhOh".

Her ability in singing and dancing may not be as good as Xiao T, who was born in Girls' Generation, but it is more than enough to cope with this interview, so even if Li Jingyuan brings up wanting to see her singing and dancing at this time, Chole's performance will definitely not be a shortcoming, but will make Michael Bay and Ian Bryce add a little more points to her in their hearts.

"I don't have any opinions, it's good." Shook his head. In the end, Li Jingyuan could only whisper such a reply to Michael Bay.

"Then come here, Chole, and you can leave. We'll get back to you later. Everyone else has already counted, Li Jingyuan has no extra opinions, and Michael Bay wastes no time and ends the interview with Chole.

"Lee, now you can speak." After Chole went out, Michael Bay didn't let the next interviewee in, but turned to Li Jingyuan and said this.

I was just saying, 'I don't have any opinion. It's good', Li Jingyuan felt that Chole was a great threat to Xiao T, and he was a little worried that Xiao T would be compared. So the tone unconsciously fluctuated a little. And when his words fell into Michael Bay's ears, he misunderstood, and thought that Li Jingyuan had some opinions to say, but it was not good to say it in front of Chole himself.

"Say what?"

"Don't you have some thoughts that you can't say in front of her?" Li Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, his expression was not fake. That's when Michael Bay understood. You may have misunderstood. However, out of an abundance of caution, he confirmed it again.

"No, I just think this first interviewee is already very good, a little unexpected."

"That's right, the first interviewer is very close to the scripted role, which is really a coincidence." Although he had a sense of competition with Li Jingyuan before, at this time, Ian Bryce quite agreed with his views. Fortunately. Chole doesn't seem to be the person he wants to recommend, so he doesn't make a more positive recommendation while the iron is hot at this time. It's just an evaluation from an objective point of view.

"Then go ahead. The first one is so suitable, it seems that we have made a good start today, and I hope that the interviewees in the future will be even better. Since everyone had no opinion, Michael Bay did not delay any longer, and after greeting the staff, he ordered: "Call the next one." ”

The first one is Chole, this situation has already made Li Jingyuan a little less confident in recommending Xiao T, but after seeing the next few interviewers, he is finally relieved.

It's not easy to get the news and get an interview invitation. To be able to get to this point, the people who come to the interview must all be beautiful women. However, while everyone is beautiful, not everyone is suitable for the role of Tessa and can pose a threat to Little T.

For example, the people who came in behind Chole for an interview were not suitable.

The second person who came in for an interview was very beautiful, and in terms of appearance alone, she could definitely be regarded as a big beauty. Moreover, with blond hair, a tall but bumpy figure, and a voice full of feminine charm, she is undoubtedly Americans' favorite 'sugar girl' in terms of hardware conditions alone.

However, she is not suitable to play Tessa. The key is her height. Li Jingyuan paid a little attention to it, and the height of this interviewer reached about 1.8 meters, and he was not wearing high heels. It's more than enough to be a model and perform on the runway, but as an actor, this height is a bit excessive.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no female stars so tall in American dramas or Hollywood movies, for example, Milla Jovovich, who collaborated with Lee Kyung-won in "Resident Evil", was a professional model before, and her height was much taller than that of ordinary women.

However, let's not forget that in "Resident Evil", Milla Jovovich plays Alice as a 'female man', and she has to show enough momentum to do so, and in that case, it is of course a good thing that she is taller. On the other hand, in the film "Transformers 4", the heroine of Tessa is an ordinary girl, although she yearns for self-reliance, but she has the delicate nature of ordinary girls. To put it bluntly, about 1.7 meters is the limit, and if it is high, it is not suitable.

There are also interviewers in the third order, who are far less suitable than Xiao T.

Compared with the second place, this actress's height is not excessive. However, her personal temperament is completely different from Tessa in the script.

You know, in the script. Tessa is just a high school student about to enter college, no matter how mature she is, even if she needs to express her dissatisfaction with her father's strict management of herself in the play. She has a certain amount of rebellion, but she is still just a seventeen-year-old girl, and she must have a certain 'girlish temperament'.

On the other hand, this third actress came in for an interview. Although he doesn't look very old, he has the temperament of an old fritter. Even, Li Jingyuan felt that this woman was a little smoky and flattering, to put it mildly, if there was only one interviewer on the scene. He even thinks that this woman may directly propose to exchange 'service' for opportunities.

Of course, if you don't recognize it, you won't recognize it, and Li Jingyuan won't despise this interviewer. After all, he has been in the circle for so long. Naturally, you will not be unaware of the 'unspoken rules' in this circle. Moreover, he also knows that not all actresses who are willing to accept the unspoken rules are incompetent, such as a big-name actress in Hollywood before she became famous, in order to get the role that made her really popular. I once said to the interviewer in a straightforward interview, 'Who do I have to sleep with to get this role?' Although later she did get the role. It doesn't necessarily cost the price of being submerged, but it is not difficult to conclude from her words - there are indeed people who have succeeded by following the unspoken rules, and some of them are big-name actresses.

It's just that the path chosen is different, and you can disagree, but there is no need to be hostile. Of course, when it comes to yourself and those around you, it's a different story. This is Li Jingyuan's attitude.

It's a bit off-topic, hurry back.

In the following, after interviewing a total of almost ten people. It's noon.

There is no such thing as overtime in the United States, as long as it is time. It's time to leave work, but you still have to leave work. Even if they are doing something as important as 'choosing a heroine for the movie', they still can't make Michael Bay and others change their work habits. On the other hand, even if Michael Bay, Lee Kyung-won and Ian Bryce and others are willing to continue, it is still a matter of two to say whether those who come to the interview outside are willing to continue to participate in the interview at lunchtime.

After looking at the time, Li Jingyuan took the initiative to put forward the opinion of 'eat first, take a break, and then continue the interview' to several other people.

Of course, this opinion will not be rejected, and after agreeing, Michael Bay called a staff member and instructed him: "Go and inform the rest of the people, eat first, and continue the interview at two o'clock in the afternoon." ”

"Got it."

"Wait a minute. Forget it, I'll go. Just when the staff was about to turn around and go out to perform the task, Li Jingyuan suddenly shouted, and then took the initiative to take over the matter. Because of his behavior, Michael Bay was a little surprised, and Li Jingyuan could only smile and spread his hands and explain: "No way, the girl I brought is still waiting outside." If it's just a work relationship, it's okay, but she can almost be regarded as my sister, and even if I'm an older brother, I don't take her to dinner, it's always right to say it, right? ”

If there was no Chole in front, Li Jingyuan would not have said this at this time. It is precisely because of having stronger competitors that Li Jingyuan will think about increasing the chips on Xiao T as much as possible, so at this time he will pretend to inadvertently reveal how close his relationship with Xiao T is, hoping to increase the probability of Xiao T being selected through this relationship.

Because he had agreed with Ian Bryce to ensure 'fairness', Li Jingyuan's behavior of revealing the news at this time was somewhat unruly. However, he was telling the truth, and he didn't think about inviting Xiao T to accompany him to dinner, so there was no possibility that 'Little T took the opportunity of eating to have a good relationship with Michael Bay', which had little impact, so Michael Bay and Ian Bryce did not stop Li Jingyuan's behavior.

In order to show that he would not help Xiao T cheat, Li Jingyuan did not leave Michael Bay too far, nor did he deliberately lower the volume, but said to Xiao T from a distance of several meters: "Fany, the interview will continue in the afternoon, it's dinner time, I will go to dinner with Michael and them, and you and your agent will also find a place to solve it." ”

"Huh? Oh~, I see. There were some surprises, but Xiao T was still very obedient at such a time, especially when she saw that Li Jingyuan was still surrounded by Michael Bay and others, she was even more well-behaved. Without asking too much, she nodded immediately.

Seeing that Li Jingyuan didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, Michael Bay didn't express any dissatisfaction, laughing and chatting, and several people quickly left the studio and left the sight of these interviewers.

Having said that, Michael Bay thinks that Li Jingyuan is not cheating, is he really not cheating?

Not really.

You must know that Li Jingyuan was accompanied by Michael Bay and talked to Xiao T, and his tone was so kind. Seeing this, it would be really strange if the other interviewees didn't have ideas. (To be continued......)
