I admit that I knew in advance, but its ...... Actually, it's nothing, right? ”

"Wait, wait, listen to me......"

"I have three projects going on in Hollywood at the same time, and Robb Jr. is getting older, and his mom should come out to look for a job, and the probability of encountering it is still quite ......"

"Don't do it without saying a word! Hands down, I warn you, one, two, three...... Really! ”

"It's just a supporting role, I really don't know how Linton chose her so early, or let him explain it to you himself?"

"How can we cover each other......"

"It's just a small supporting role, okay, okay, don't be angry."

"Calm down! I really didn't do anything secretly, don't you see that I've always been obedient and never asked about supporting actress auditions? ”

"Didn't I respect your opinion in the matter of Motura? I'll also let you pick any actor in me to make your autobiographical movie with your ex-boyfriend......"

"Let's understand each other."

"Others? Belch...... Amy Adams might also audition for another supporting role, right? ”

"Don't just take a breath, take a deep breath, take a deep breath...... OK？ Didn't you say that before? Phigi is our money printing machine, you can understand that she is under my flag, why can't she understand this matter? It's the same nature......"

"I make it up? I don't need to make it up, think about it, Xue Linfen used to be the heroine of the play, and this time she is willing to come to my project to play a dusty woman, for me, no, is our project a good thing or a bad thing? Well? ”

"Dancing out of my life's hundreds of millions of box office, Amy Adams's coffee position is not what it used to be, she seems to have taken over an art film this year, a youth commercial film? It's all the heroine, she is willing to play the female supporting role in the cat-and-mouse game, of course I can't ask for it, do you think who made it? ”

"Yes, just like Fergey, how can I buy you without those money printing machines?"

"I promise, I promise not to ask. Good I swear ......"

"Okay, let's go and confront Linton."

With only three inches of incorruptible tongue, Song Ya beautifully resolved a small crisis, and went to the building to find Linton with his wife in her arms.

“Fxxk you！ Linton! ”

In the small office at the end of the hallway, he was confronted by Steve Buscemi's agent spitting at him, "You're using us to put pressure on John Malkovich's agent, right?" You didn't plan to activate Steve in the first place! ”

"Sorry, I didn't mean to, but after a tough decision with other investors, I decided to go with John Malkovich."

Linton shrugged, "Although the tone of the cat-and-mouse game is not too gloomy, it is a crime film after all, and neither I nor Director Ridley Scott want the audience to spend part of their energy guessing whether the second male is a bad guy......"

"Come on, does John Malkovich have a nice face? Everyone is famous as villains. Steve Buscemi's agent debunked the lie, "The truth is that he was willing to take a pay cut because of our competition!" ”

"John can also be saved by makeup and styling, Steve is much more difficult, you know......"

Linton opened his mouth and cracked his front teeth with his hand, suggesting that Steve Buscemi had some protruding buckteeth.

"Fxxk, don't jerk Linton."

Steve Buscemi's agent scolded and left.

"Hehe, don't do that......"

Linton smiled evilly at his back: "Business is business, and we will cooperate next time we have the opportunity." ”

The other party didn't look back, and raised a hand to signal that he understood.

"Just done, John Malkovich is willing to take a pay cut to two million, and at this price he will still be the first person to be paid in a cat-and-mouse game." Linton saw Song Ya coming over and happily reported the good news.

"Uh, Mr. Linton, Mimi has something to ask you."

Song Ya wiped the code on his mouth with his hand, and he didn't care if Linton could understand it.

"I'm willing to serve Mrs. Song for you." Linton was in a good mood.

"It's nothing......"

Mariah Carey waved her hand and said pretendly, "I just happened to see in your office that you chose Xue Linfen to play the role." ”

"Oh, that's it."

Linton didn't look at Song Ya, and replied naturally: "Indeed, I was going to sign the role of that senior prostitute first, because the scene where the male protagonist auditioned needed the actress to play, Xue Linfen is very suitable, after all, she used to play the heroine all the year round, and the coffee position is good, although it has been out of breath in the past few years, but I am willing to come to our project to play a supporting actress, of course I can't ask for it." And ......"

He wanted to speak, but he stopped.

"And what?" Mariah Kelly asked.

"With all due respect, the role that Xue Linfen got was designed as a once famous cover girl who gradually degenerated into a courtesan in a high-end hotel after passing away, and this kind of role will bring some topicality to the role of an outdated actress, which is beneficial to the promotion of the cat-and-mouse game project. Xue Linfen has made a film about stealing moon love, and I originally thought that she would not be willing to audition, because the audience can easily associate her with the high-level prostitute in the play, which is generally not a good thing for actresses. Of course, it would certainly not be a bad thing to regain the affirmation of Hollywood and film critics with this role, in short, Xue Linfen took some risks, and we made it anyway. ”

Linton said a lot.

"Well, that makes sense......"

Mariah Carey thought about it and nodded in agreement, "My husband didn't ask you to help her......"

"No, Miss Kelly, this is a 20 million big production, okay, I admit that the outside world will not call a 20 million investment movie a direct big production now, but everyone in Hollywood knows that the annual production cost of 20 million is actually not much, the opportunity is rare, and it is also very important to my Hollywood studio. There's no humanity to talk about, I'll keep an eye on it, no one wants to joke with their own money, investors smash the movie in order to force one or two actors, and everyone will be doomed, and no one will indulge this phenomenon......"

Linton said: "Well, it's not that it's not indulgent at all, I have a tacit understanding with APLUS and other investors in the main role, don't interfere, and let the professionals decide." ”

"Okay, you've passed, huh." Mariah Carey Nunu mouthed and gave Song Ya a roll of her eyes.

Linton took the opportunity to blink his eyes like lightning, "APLUS, Mrs. Song, let's go to the casting room, the most important male lead audition is about to begin." Wait, uh......" He gestured to Song Ya.

"I know, Mimi, there's going to be a big guy coming, and you can't lose your temper in there." Song Ya warned his wife in advance, "Don't speak casually, you are a bystander in this project." ”

"I know the rules." DIVA WAS STILL SENSIBLE, AND SHE MADE A ZIPPER AND SHUT UP MOVEMENT WITH HER HAND ON HER MOUTH.

"Alright, let's go."

The three of them came to the casting room together, and the number of people behind the long table today was doubled, in addition to old faces such as Ridley Scott and Yeremov, there were also the original author and film consultant Abbagnell, the investor, former ace talk show host and former script owner Johnny Carson, the executive president of distributor Bowei Pictures, and Disney Vice Chairman Roy Disney.

"APLUS, MISS KELLY, COME AND SIT."

Johnny Carson, who is struck up with his old friend Roy Disney, greets him affectionately and invites them to sit down next to him.

"Hello, Mr. Carson, Mr. Disney......" Song Ya shook hands with his wife and the bigwigs one by one.

"It's an honor, Miss Kelly."

Roy Disney and Broadway's CEOs were pleasantly surprised by Mariah Carey's arrival and kissed their hands gently.

"I just negotiated a film deal with John Malkovich and an advertising sponsorship from DC Comics."

Linton took the opportunity to report the results, "DC is very happy that we have comic book elements such as The Flash and superhero cards in our movies, and they are willing to pay a good price for this kind of soft advertising in the movies after the recent collapse of the card collection market." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Roy, for hearing that MGM is willing to let our movie feature 007's Goldfinger movie footage and soundtrack." He slapped Roy Disney's sycophants.

"It's nothing, just say hello, the protagonist's imitation of James Bond's consumption behavior also has an advertising effect on 007."

Roy Disney is a good-looking man, "MGM is so happy, they earned it." ”

Everyone laughed together, "So the preparation begins, and the first part of the audition for the lead role this time is a clip of him imitating James Bond's performance, go and inform Jude Law." ”

Linton should have quietly changed the original plan of Xue Linfen's play after learning that Mariah Carey was coming, and now it is the protagonist's one-man show.

"Good man......" Song Ya secretly handed him a grateful look.

This audition paragraph is mainly to see if the protagonist's appearance and temperament can hold up the whole play, and imitating the suave James Bond is the basic homework.

Jude Law, who was dressed in a cropped suit, and his agent quickly entered the door, "Director Scott, Mr. Linton, Mr. Yeremov, Mr. APLUS, Miss Kelly......" He greeted everyone in a round under the agent's whispered reminder, "Mr. Disney, Mr. Abbagnell......"

"The suit is good, is it custom-made for Savile Row?" Abagnell asked.

"Yes."

Jude Law nodded, he is nearly one meter eight tall, very well-proportioned, slightly thin, a good clothes rack, a classic style of custom suit to wear, handsome and compelling, almost go directly to the audition James Bond.

"So let's get started, I have to audition for several scenes today, and the time is very tight." Linton said.

The staff moved a full-length mirror, a supporting actor who played the tailor was in place, and the two began to act against each other.

The play itself is not complicated, that is, the protagonist has the idea of imitating after watching 007's Goldfinger, and goes to the tailor to customize the same suit as James Bond.

"Bond, James Bond."

Jude Law mimics the speech and demeanor of the movie character in the mirror, and the photographer slowly pushes the camera closer, and this audition is not only to look at the performance, but also to see how the actors actually look on the camera and on the big screen.

"Are you sure it's this suit?" Jude Law took out a small comb and asked the tailor while narcissistically combing his thick hair.

"Sure, exactly like the one he wore in the movie." The supporting actor replied.

"Okay, I'll buy three sets of ......," he said, very aggressively.

"Okay, Mr. Abbagnell, all you have now is the kind of foreign sports car that Bond drove in the show."

The supporting actor naturally didn't want to let go of the opportunity to show himself in front of the big guys, he took out a small notebook and moved in the direction of the camera, tilted his head while keeping accounts, and the photographer slowly retreated with his movements.

Jude Law looked impressed, raised an eyebrow, and looked back at the tailor while putting his hands in his trouser pockets.

This short performance is over.

"Uh, Jude Law, you're British, aren't you? As an imitator, I've noticed that you've just imitated Bond's accent is pretty standard, can you imitate a little more of my Southern accent, and my long-lived New York accent? ”

Abagnell was the first to ask.

"Okay......" Jude Law picked up the script and said the same sentence several times in different accents.

"Haha......" is clearly not standard, and Johnny Carson and Roy Disney laugh.

"I'll keep practicing, rest assured, I'm a professional actor and ...... in London's West End"

Now is the final hurdle, Jude Law is obviously very nervous, and immediately wants to save the confidence of the 'judges' in him.

"Don't be nervous, we know what you're capable of."

Linton laughed and explained to the others: "He won the Laurence Oliver Award for Best Newcomer. ”

"Not bad......"

Roy Disney nodded with the CEO of Bowei again, and the people of the United States still recognize the British award, which is basically the same as the Tony Award in the minds of the people of the United States, and it is the highest award for dramas and musicals, although the Best Newcomer Award is not convincing enough.

"Okay, you can go and get some rest." Ridley Scott, who was not in a position to comment on the audition for his fellow British, told Jude Law to go out first, "Next is Jared Leto." ”

Jared Leto, who appeared in front of Song Ya again, has changed a lot, he seems to have given up the route of transforming into a decadent rock and roll style man for this audition, cut his hair short, shaved his beard, and returned to the style of a white and tender blonde idol boy.

It's the same very beautiful, the different ones are a little more like small plums than Jude Law, "but it's still not as good as small plums." Song Ya thought silently in her heart.

"Bond, James Bond......"

Jared Leto's British accent is a little weirder, no, he seems to have done it deliberately to enrich the content of the performance, "Ahem, Bond, James Bond......" He looked at the dressing mirror, and his voice was already slightly hoarse when he imitated it for the second time, and the British accent was more standard, and he learned it vividly from Bond performer Sean Connelly himself.

"Good actor......" Song Ya said secretly in her heart, which makes the protagonist's imitation ability more convincing.

After the short first paragraph, Abagnel asked him to imitate the accents of various parts of the country, which was not difficult for the local actors, and Jared Leto did the job well.

Song Ya saw Roy Disney nodding in approval.

"Next, Edward Norton."

Roy Disney had a blank look on his face, "It's a pure newcomer, but the play is good." Linton explained.

"More than that, he's a drama maniac." Yeremov laughed.

"What do you mean?" Mariah Carey asked.

"You'll see it when you look at it."

Edward Norton's appearance is obviously not as good as the first two, just a handsome white boy, and the suit he wears is cheaper than the first two professional actors.

"Bond, James Bond......"

But the play is really better, this guy not only has an accent, but also takes care of his manners, demeanor, and every subtle movement, and the live Sean Connery is second.

"Okay, Mr. Abbagnell, all you have now is the kind of foreign sports car that Bond drove in the show."

The male supporting actor said again.

Edward Norton raised his eyebrows, looked back at him, then pursed his mouth, nodded his head slightly, and his eyes showed a look of being moved by this sentence, a small scene was played by him, just like there is such a young and golden teenager standing in front of everyone, everyone can understand the psychological changes that he is looking forward to new consumption goals.

"Nice, good......"

The performance won over Johnny Carson, and the casting room erupted in applause.

"I think I can make this performance a little bit richer." He even took the initiative to ask for more scenes, "such as adding a face-slapping scene with a tailor who looks down on people......"

"Okay, we'll discuss these things when you get the role." Linton kicked him out.

"You are? Vic's lawyer? Goodman & Hamlin Law Firm upstairs at A+ Records, Hamlin, who stayed in Chicago, looked at the red-haired woman who walked into the office, "Is there anything I can help you with?" ”

"Very nice place, decorated, very tasteful hehe......"

The red-haired woman walked into the room and looked around, "Oh, by the way, just call me Tashouni." She held out her hand.

"Okay, Ms. Tashauni, you're here ......" Hamlin looked at the somewhat neurotic woman quizzically, shaking her hand.

"I just met Vic Mackie, my client." She sat down, her eyes drawn to the small artwork on Hamlin's desk.

"So ......" Hamlin was somewhat baffled.

"He's very concerned about the condition of his two children, you know, uh, since we're both lawyers, let's get straight to the point, hehe, I'm not good at that, uh, not good at ......"

Tashuni kept gesturing in front of her with her hands, "This little thing is beautiful, you are very tasteful, hehe...... Forget it, don't care about this, will APLUS continue to donate to that hospital? He asked with a leap of thought.

"I wasn't notified to stop donating." Hamlin replied.

"So it's going to continue? Next year's portion is ......, too."

"In accordance with our agreement with the hospital......"

Hamlin flipped out the documents and looked at them, "Yes, it will continue, the foundation under Aunt APLUS will transfer a sum of money on time every year, automatically." ”

"I see, um......" she thought for a moment, "Forget it, I don't have any other questions, bye-bye......"

She smiled and got up from her seat and walked straight out.

"Uh, can you tell us a little bit about Vic?" Hamlin asked.

"I'm sorry, I'm here to ask about this......" She quickened her pace and fled.
