Chapter 465: Encountering the Man in the Painting

The last audition was Juliana Margareth, the elder Larry liked her very much, her acting skills were excellent, and she danced well, compared to Ashley Judd, who appeared for the first time, she was obviously more prepared for the role after several rounds of auditions.

"I'm really older, and my voice is a little hoarse." After the audition, the casting director said: "Of course, her appearance and temperament are fine, beautiful enough, and she does not lack a sense of youth." ”

"Ashley Judd is good in every way, but it's a bit expensive."

"Let's not talk about those two who don't have acting skills."

He talked eloquently, with a posture that only Amy met the standard, and stunned everyone who didn't know the inside story.

Getting him done, coupled with the withdrawal of Charlise Theron and Amy Ake and the improvement shown by Amy Adams, made the pressure on Songya's shoulders suddenly disappear after the fourth round of auditions.

"And Amy Adams?" Old Larry didn't bother to do it again.

"Isn't there a final round of auditions?" Universal's producer asked.

"Let Ashley Judd and Amy Adams enter the final round, the heroine of this movie can't pay more than 200,000 dollars anyway, this is a commercial film is not an art film with a word-of-mouth, Ashley Judd's agent can't accept it, that girl just won the acting award, it is a critical time to increase the value of commercial films."

The casting director came up with an idea: "Of course, it's better to have Catherine say hello to Mr. Weinstein beforehand. ”

"I'll fight." Song Adam immediately called Harvey Weinstein and told him that he planned to let Ashley Judd enter the final round of auditions, but the crew had decided to choose Amy Adams due to financial problems.

Harvey Weinstein readily understood, "I heard, you just led a palace rebellion?" He asked.

"No, this kind of rumor is outrageous." Song Ya replied.

"Haha......" the other laughed, "I'm very well-informed." ”

Song Ya also knows that now the news of Motula's transfer has spread in the industry, and few people must know the real inside story, but he has played a key role, which cannot be hidden from a big guy like Harvey Weinstein.

IN A WAY, THIS IS ALL A GOOD THING, JUST LIKE THE HARLEM NIGHTCLUB SHOOTING, THOSE UNRELIABLE SPECULATIONS CAN MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR THEMSELVES, UNTIL NOW NO GANG RAPPER DARES TO DISSS HIMSELF, AND THE MOTURA INCIDENT CAN ALSO MAKE HARVEY AND OTHERS LOOK HIGH AT THEIR OWN ENERGY.

The crew quickly announced the list of two who would enter the final round, and then Ashley Judd's agent called and told her that she would not participate in the final round of auditions, citing scheduling issues.

In this way, the heroine finally fell into the hands of Amy, and she only waited for a while to be officially announced.

"Then the second male will be Adam Sandra, and the second female will be Taraji?" The casting director was relieved and began to communicate with other candidates for the role.

"Yes." Song Ya and Old Larry both nodded.

Taragi's acting skills have been unanimously affirmed, she basically didn't let Song Yaduo worry about it, and got this role by relying on her strength, of course, the character setting of this role is the most flat among the main actors, play the heroine's best friend well, and complete the task when she sings a song on stage.

"The heroine's ex-boyfriend will be finalized at the end of the year, because of Amy's height and size, his original dance partner should tend to choose thin boys, and after the original dance partner injured his leg, he had to pick the candidate dance partner in that scene." The casting director added: "It's a bit hard to find a dancer who doesn't look like she can lift Amy. ”

Everyone else laughed, the logic of the plot of this scene is the biggest obstacle to choosing Amy as the heroine, and now that Amy is really the heroine, no matter how difficult the casting of other actors is, they must try to cooperate under this premise.

"How hard you work." Song Ya doesn't mind saying soft words at the right time.

"The only thing controversial is the choice of the second female boyfriend." The casting director took out two resumes and circulated them, "These two young African-American actors have their own supporters. ”

Song Ya glanced at it casually, an actor named Terrence Howard, twenty-three years old, one meter eight four tall, and the other named Jamie Fox, twenty-five years old and one meter seventy-five.

In terms of appearance, the older Jamie Fox looks much younger than Terrence Howard.

"This character is very likable, a music creator, with a slightly wretched personality, a victim of the heroine's ex-boyfriend stealing songs, and after the movie is released, the audience will consider it to be APLUS You have refined yourself from your personal real experience." The casting director said: "There are very few opportunities for African-American actors, so the competitors are very strong, and the audition for this role is over, and they have no problem acting skills at all, and their musical skills are also good." ”

"I don't have an opinion, anyone can do it." Song Ya shrugged indifferently, "Who do you want to choose?" ”

"Jamie Fox, after all, this character is a college student, so it's right to find a younger face." The casting director replied.

"And Terrence Howard entered the industry last year as a special actor who played MJ's brother Jackie Jackson, Jackie Jackson was the most popular of the Jackson Five brothers group before MJ grew up, and his appearance in your movie may bring the audience some associations that make them play." Yeremov also said: "After all, the song I Feel It Coming that you debuted is recognized as an imitation of MJ. ”

"Then Jamie Fox, by the way, who introduced him to the audition." Song Ya asked.

"Escubus." Yeremov replied: "Jamie Fox is an up-and-coming party and stand-up comedian in the African-American scene in Los Angeles, having played a small role in a Robin Williams movie last year. ”

"Hmm." Song Ya nodded in agreement, "What about Terrence Howard?" ”

"Uh......" Yeremov leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Philby." ”

"The one in Philadelphia?" Song Ya was a little surprised.

"Yes, they're kind of related." Yeremov nodded.

Song Ya groaned, Philby was able to talk in Rolling Stone magazine, and Escubber knew him well, although the relationship between the two later became a little more distant after the other party's MV set tested him with GD gestures.

"That's still Terrence Howard......"

It was more important to win over Philby for the time being, after all, he was able to speak out frequently in the mainstream music media, and he used to interact with Motula a lot, and Song Yazheng was worried that he would start attacking him in Rolling Stone magazine......

Escubus called and said sorry, there wasn't much chance of currying favor with Philby, "What do you guys think?" He asked the others.

"I can do it all." Larry Sr. replied.

"I'm fine." The casting director didn't say much either.

The others exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

Then the two white middle-aged actresses who played the heroine's mother and the female principal of the art school were successfully decided, and the rest was to coordinate the salary schedule with all the selected actors, and it was none of their business.

"Hey, Philby."

As she left Universal Studios, Song Ya called the well-known music critic, "Is Terrence Howard recommended by you?" ”

"Yes, how is he? The acting is good, right? Philby said, "And the music is not bad. ”

"Yes, he made it to the final round of auditions." Song Ya replied: "But the opponent is also very strong. ”

"For my sake?" Philby laughed.

"Okay, you say a word." After getting the other party's favor, Song Ya hung up the phone satisfied.

“YO! APLUS! ”

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting at me from a distance, and Old Mike and Mawota stood in front of him at the same time, and looked at it, wasn't it Big E? It was late, and the guy came over with a large group of henchmen, no wonder Old Mike was so nervous.

Song Ya didn't have the slightest good impression of this person, "Hey, Big E, why are you here?" He asked.

"Come and help a friend with a movie cameo."

Spurned by former teammates Drey and Escuber, Big E, who had already plummeted in fame, approached slowly, "Okay, let's talk?" ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Joint publicity, do you still plan to continue working with Diaver? Sugnate of Death Row Records has a different set of things, and he and Daddy braggart are getting closer and closer. ”

Big E had mentioned this before, and after Sugnett pointed him at gunpoint to force him to terminate Drew's contract, his ruthless record was in a very difficult situation.

"I can't be the main big E alone."

Like last time, Song Ya continued to be perfunctory. Sugnette is annoying, but Dre is trustworthy, he wants to go to school, and he doesn't mix with the bandit rap circle, and there is no good way to do another set of joint publicity lineup for Sugnette, what else?

If you turn your head and hook up with Big E, you will immediately offend Dre and Escuber, and Big E is notorious as a collaborator, so you can figure it out if you think about it.

"Don't you pretend to be APLUS, chicago meeting ah? You can't hide that little bit of stuff from the hip-hop circle for long......"

Big E spoke in a crunchy voice and chattered and persuaded him, this guy's energy in the lame gang had already been punctured by Sugnette's robbery, but it didn't prevent him from still holding the rack of his rap predecessors and swarming around with a large group of followers.

"Huh, follower?"

At the end of the group of followers behind him, Song Ya saw a familiar face, who is not the lead singer of Where Is The Love?! Much younger than in the original MV, but you can't go wrong, the guy is huddled behind the crowd with his hands in his pockets, staring intently at himself.

"I said how I felt a little familiar when I saw him appear in the MV, yes, after the AMA awards ceremony in early 92, Big E took him to find me, and there was nowhere to find him when he stepped on the iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to come haha! In vain, I found someone to ask for a portrait and asked around......"
