In terms of the male protagonist of the sequel, Song Ya saw a name in the list of male protagonists in the cat-and-mouse game, Jared Leto.

"Why is this kid all over here?" Song Ya complained.

"His TV episodes were axed and now he's going to go around." Yeremov laughed.

Song Ya knows that this person is currently popular, so what does it matter if the series is gone? Handsome male stars have this past, at least he has established the character of the idol Xiao Xianrou in the minds of young girls in the whole meter, Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves and others all came over like this, "But he's very popular, right?" Are you willing to play a sequel to a youth song and dance film? ”

"is the most popular among all the actors and actresses auditioning, if you can get him at a low price, Universal will definitely take advantage of the trend to change the age of the male and female protagonists. So he's the central guy who can decide the direction of the casting now, don't you think? Boss. Yeremov asked: "He dances ballet well." ”

The casting of a movie is sometimes the script first, and the actors are put into the script description, sometimes the actors are given priority, for example, many projects will not hesitate to change the script in order to win over a star with box office appeal, or sometimes the director and producer are preferred, and they will sometimes be so strong that they can let whoever they want to play, such as Song Ya herself who insisted on choosing Amy in the first part of my life.

In short, unless there is a major project, the attitude of the producer in the initial stage is very changeable, and Szeinberg thinks that it is better to make an eight- to ten-grade film for a lower age group, but if there is a star with good box office appeal to join, he is also happy to let the screenwriter revise the script, it just so happens that director Stephen Gyllenhaal is not strong, and Song Ya does not want to point fingers anymore.

"I think you're misunderstood, boss."

Hayden said with a smile: "Dancing the first film in my life with a global box office of more than 130 million, a little stronger than the detective plane with the same production cost, didn't Jim Carrey rely on that movie to get so many opportunities later?" It's just that because there are too many strong films in the same schedule, they have better box office and better reviews than us...... Our limelight has been overshadowed for the time being, Hollywood's response has lagged a bit, and now many half-popular stars and their agents have come back to their senses, all staring at this sequel, and it's no surprise that Jared Leto wants to participate. ”

"Do you want Simberg to choose him, too?" Amy is also under Hayden, "so that the heroine can use Amy, who is one level older." Song Ya asked.

"Yes, if you don't act, then it's best to change the male protagonist in the sequel, and the plot continuity of the two movies will be much stronger." Hayden said: "It's a big deal to write your character in the first part at the beginning of the script as a mess after a successful career...... Well, I'm kidding. ”

He noticed that Song Ya began to stare at him and raised his hand in surrender.

"In any case, this matter will be decided quickly, the first round of auditions will be launched before the end of the year, and the male and female protagonists must be selected before January next year, the dance group, dance design, etc. can be done first, but the script is a little later, anyway, the first thing to shoot will be the dance scene." Yeremov said.

It's normal for a movie to change around, and it's not surprising to overturn and restart halfway through filming, and there are people who are about to be released and suddenly postpone the schedule and return to the furnace to make up for the reshoot. It is true that the film industry is an industry, but after all, it is a group of artists who come together to do things, and even Hollywood cannot manage every project with complete precision.

So the Dance Out My Life sequel project is changing, and the cat-and-mouse game project is also changing.

"Matthew McConaughey won't come to the audition, he wants to compete with Xiao Lizi for the male lead of the Titanic, Chris O'Donnell also withdrew the audition appointment, he has already got the role of Robin in Batman forever, two film contracts, this is a supporting role, and then Batman and Robin He will be upgraded to the second male ......"

Linton, the president of Hollywood Pictures, wrote a scratch on the audition sheet, "They can't look down on the male protagonist of the cat-and-mouse game anymore." ”

"Hollywood is always so fast-moving, right?" Song Ya smiled, "I said why Chris O'Donnell turned himself into a tough image, I almost didn't recognize him last time that he was a cream boy among smelling women who smelled fragrance, it turned out that he was going to play Robin." ”

"Haha, you're disgusted with someone's ass and jaw anyway."

Linton laughed, he was in a good mood, Hollywood Pictures invested 20 million, APLUS participated in the production, David Fincher may direct, after the project based on the autobiography of the legendary liar Abagnell was released, his company was obviously much sought after in the industry, and some big-name agents began to take the initiative to contact the relationship.

"Hollywood is very practical." He said: "Everyone is now cautiously optimistic about us, and the reason why I use the word cautious is to remind you that there are many things now, and many people have not decided about it." ”

"Please." Song Ya modestly made a gesture of attentive listening, and Linton's ability to do things was very strong, although the two sides did not have a very pleasant quarrel when they first came into contact.

"First of all, he's in contact with the original author, Abagner, he's a liar, you know, this kind of person is extremely smart, so even if he has already sold the adaptation rights, he still tries to get the most out of our mouths, and he's not easy to deal with."

Linton said, "How much do you think is appropriate to pay him?" ”

"Pay for a script consultant?" Song Ya said.

"It's not enough, the consultant fee must be given, he has been running notices, speeches, and selling books over the years, and he is well-known in the United States and even other English-speaking countries, if I can let him help publicize it, I plan to pay him more." It's nothing, but it's tiring to play with a legendary liar......"

Linton said, "Do you have any ideas?" ”

"I've had a deal with the FBI lately, you know, the Sinaloa case." Song Ya said: "The second male in our script is an FBI agent, Abagnell mentioned that person in the original book, I think we might as well find the agent prototype character, and then pull him over as a consultant, he must be cheaper than Abagnell, and when the time comes, Abagnell's value to us will be greatly reduced, and his bargaining power will be ......"

"Wow, your idea is very old and spicy, how did you come up with it?" Linton said, clapping his face.

"Hey, no, it's just that I wanted to pat the FBI's ass lately."

Song Ya smiled embarrassedly, Vic killed an agent, even if he was successfully covered up, now he is very weak to the FBI. There is a famous saying in the hip-hop circle, singers are not afraid of heaven and earth, the most afraid is God, followed by the FBI, because even if the singers are not very popular, they are all small celebrities of local gangs, and they will not have any trouble as long as they don't die on their own turf, and because gangs like to trap rappers, then the gangs that singers go to are generally not low in local energy, and it is normal to get some local police officers, so if they commit just small things, the police will not have enough deterrence against them. I'm afraid of the FBI, which has extensive law enforcement powers and doesn't know when it will suddenly fall from the sky.

"Actually, we thought of going together."

Linton blinked slyly and pulled out a person's resume from the folder, "Joseph Shea, a veteran FBI agent, has handled many big cases, and also handled Abagnell's case, although the actual process of his arrest of that legendary liar is not as legendary as the one adapted in your script, but if we get him done first, Abagnell will definitely become well-behaved, and the two of them will have a good relationship later." ”

"Is it cheap?" Song Ya asked.

"He is already in his seventies, and an ordinary retired old man can make a windfall, and his past experience will be glorified as the protagonist of the movie, and there is no possibility of unwillingness. If you want me to say, it is estimated that he is willing to do it if he calculates some transportation and horse expenses, but if he does this, it will not be good if he is exposed by the media. Linton replied.

"OK, let's get him first."

Song Ya agreed.
