At 21:30 on January 22, the two-day VIY draft ended successfully.

Among the 120 groups of 1,201 female actors, the actual number is 1,193, and 8 are absent because they are still in other places.

The three of Kaufman all agreed with Ye Wei's happy words, "We can open an elite girls' school!" There are too many outstanding talents, and ten candidates have been selected in two days. The three of them all gave Ye Wei a reference opinion, it depends on how he decides.

Everything about these three independent projects, VIY has the final say.

In the backstage of the small theater, Ye Wei formulated a list of first candidates:

"SS Bethany: Emma Roberts

SS Alana: Shailene Woodley

TLB Susie: Elizabeth Olsen

TLB Lynsie Jr.: Saoirse Ronan

TLB Big Lynsie: Mody Semington

TLB Ruth: Dakota Johnson

TLB Harley: Kylesy Chow

TLB Clarissa: Blake Lively

W'sB Rui: Jennifer Lawrence

W'sB Gael: Alicia Vikander

This is just a list of targets, not necessarily the final cast.

Because there may be no agreement at the negotiation stage, or even no negotiation at all. Of the ten, Blake Lively is the least likely.

Probably no girl is here for "Clarissa", she is a small character in the original book, the kind of typical blonde girl that people can think of, young, beautiful, sexy, hormonal, brainless, and school boys.

The 18-year-old Blake Lively comes from an acting family, his father is an actor and acting teacher, his mother is a manager and acting teacher, and his brother is also an actor. And she herself is already famous, in last year's movie version of "Summer of Jeans" as the athlete "Brigitte", this year's two movies, the supporting role of "Simon Says" and the heroine's "Admission Notice".

Lively has a bright future, Blonde is always needed on and off the screen, and in Blonde, her 178cm appearance is in the top ranks, and her strength is enough.

Although Ye Wei doesn't like her role as Brigitte very much, in the role of Clarissa, Beverly is the most suitable candidate.

However, Beverly wanted to play Bethany, which her manager's mother had already revealed. At present, she and Emma are the most famous among the ten people, and the film and television heroine is in line with her status, and she will not be rare for a small role.

So invite her just to try. Fortunately, Clarissa really doesn't worry about the actor, and it's easy to find a Blonde.

Rameau is red-haired, not pretty enough, and although she has been acting in movies since she was a child, and has played supporting roles or cameos in four movies in her parents, her acting skills are very bad.

Dakota Johnson may also not be able to negotiate, "Ruth" doesn't have much of a role to play and doesn't match her family background - Don Johnson, Melanie Griffiths's daughter, Antonio Banderas's stepdaughter. With her appearance and strength, it is not difficult to find a role bigger than "Ruth" to start her acting career.

But her temperament really matches Ruth, it's a cold, quiet feeling.

Her performance is also good, and it is impossible to ask everyone to be like Lychee, 37 performances are enough to play Ruth well. It's just that the hair color is not good, she is blonde, of course, she can't match the hair color with Susie and Linxi, and she needs to dye brown hair or black hair if she acts.

Except for these two, the others are not very problematic, either they are unconditional newcomers, or the roles they have given are moving enough.

But considering that he changed his mind on his own, the reason could be that a certain girl had a bad temper, problems with the audition, or various accidents caused him to fail to act, so he had to prepare a list of candidates for the second and third ranks.

There is also a situation where the script will be adapted differently from the current plan in the future, and the feeling of the overall story will be different, so the temperament of the actors will be adjusted accordingly.

For example, in the thriller and suspense category, to exaggerate the surprise to the maximum, then another girl, Alexandra Daddario, would be a better choice for Da Linxi, her appearance is looking at her eyes and saying "What's the danger?"

And in the current plan based on family joys and sorrows, Modi, who has the power to warm and heal people's hearts, is the best choice for Da Linqian.

Little Linxi's second choice is Ariana Reinhardt, a pure newcomer who is almost 12 years old, blue-eyed, similar to Mody's temperament, and quite talented at her age. Interestingly, this little girl looks a lot like Mia Sara, and maybe grows up to be more like her.

But she couldn't win the first pick, Saoirse Ronan.

If you talk about what Susie looked like when she was 11 or 12 years old, Ye Wei agreed with what Siebold said: Saoirse Ronan's appearance.

can't play Susie, but she is the best candidate for Xiao Linqian, this person must be matched with Da Linqian, and the coordination and chemistry of the overall lineup must also be considered, all roles are like this. At this point, Ana loses. Ana is to take it out and fit, but it can't be matched in.

And...... Angels should stay away from black sheep.

Saoirse, blue eyes, temperament, and Modi and Lychee are very well matched, that kind of penetrating eyes, the warmth of the smile, and the little stubbornness that can be had, which is fantastic.

Kelsey Zhou, Ye Wei always felt a little impressed by the name of this 14-year-old Asian mixed-race girl, but she couldn't remember where she came from, it seemed to be a blog? In any case, there are about 50 Asian girl actors out of 1201 people, and the base is so small, there are not many choices for Halle.

He wanted to be a 100% Asian girl, which was something that Kelsey didn't like, she looked like a mixed race, and she was also Asian at first glance.

This is actually not conducive to her career, many prejudices in Hollywood are also in line with the stereotypes of the public, one of which is the appearance of Asians, Asians in film and television usually follow the old ways, the men's faces are square, the women's big pie faces, all of them are thin, single eyelids, small eyes, and the temperament is not spiritual, if you find some Koreans and Vietnamese, they are Chinese.

"Zhang Qiu" Liang Peishi is a product of this casting aesthetic. If it had been filmed by Peter Jackson, Harley would have been like that at any time, without aesthetic appeal, ignoring the fact that Harley was a beautiful girl in the original book, "her black hair shimmered like silk, just as the advertisements in fashion magazines promised." ”

Alice Sieberd is an impartial person, but damn Hollywood is disgusting.

According to that set, Ye Wei himself can't act, he doesn't look like that, just double eyelids, big eyes, if you go to some remote places outside of California where there are no Asian immigrants, there are guaranteed that there will be locals who are surprised and say, "Are you Asian?", they don't know how big Asia is and what Asians can look like.

Ye Wei has long been fed up with this bullshit, he has the idea of showing off when he plays "Ray" himself, and of course Hallie has to be loyal to the original book and find an Asian beautiful girl to play it.

So the half-breed can only be ranked second, even if Vanessa Hudgens comes.

However, there are really very few Asian actors and good actors, not because they are not talented, but because Asian children have performed too few in elementary school, and there are even fewer opportunities.

And among them, Kelsey Zhou is already in the first echelon, she is doing well, she is beautiful enough to match lychee. He also promised that all 10 roles would be born from the draft, so he wanted to give Kelsey a chance to see if she could do it.

TLB is not an urgent need yet, SS is.

Emma was set to play Bethany, and all the staffing had to revolve around her, and Alana had to choose a petite actor. The 14-year-old Shailene Woodley is a perfect fit in every way, and is also a direct descendant of Roberts. The problem is all Emma's acting skills......

As for W'sB, in terms of appearance and temperament alone, Jennifer Lawrence is perfect as Rui, and Aliciica Vikander as Gale is also perfect.

Cold, unpretentious, and gloomy are the tone of W'sB's story, and beauty has no place in this story, and Gale can't be pretty either.

Compared with Rui, Gail, who is a mother, will be more gentle, old-fashioned, and mature, and feel like a sister, but there must also be a feeling of facing the loess and facing the bottom of the remnants of the flowers.

Elicica, the girl, is an excellent illustration of this. Her resume says that she is from Sweden, fortunately, English is not a problem, and her acting ability is also enough to be used, and the actor's performance is not only his own business, he also has to train and direct these people.

But her thinking skills were really not very good, and he remembered asking "Why do you say there was an ice age?" because he saw Sweden and thought of the ice and snow, and if it was a lychee, he thought he might hear the answer "Because I'm cool." ”

The girl actually said "nature's regulation", what is this, the classroom of nature class?

Aliciica, who is not beautiful and smart, and Jennifer, who is not beautiful and smart, just like Gail and Rui, are a perfect match.

The list of first candidates has been decided, and we will send them a notification email tonight to start the next step of the discussion.

Will Emma accept Bethany with a smile? Ye Wei is a little skeptical, Emma has been nagging about playing Susie, and of course, "Liz".

After finishing the finishing work in the backstage of Santa Monica, the paparazzi should have left, and Ye Wei left the small theater and ended the two-day rental.

From the time he moved in early Saturday morning to his departure on Sunday night, he did not take half a step out of the theater, eating here, sleeping here, exercising, playing football, karaoke...... Even showers and dressing can be done in the bathroom here. In order to facilitate work, as well as to avoid the paparazzi.

When I got back to my accommodation, it was almost 11 p.m.

Ye Wei opened the door and walked into the living room, turned on the panel light in the living room, and suddenly there was a light, he looked at the empty fabric sofa, and shouted into the room: "HELLO?

There was silence for a while, there was no response, no one was there.

"LONE, LOVE, RESPECTIVELY, N, AND, V. But why? What does that mean?"

Sitting down on the sofa, Ye Wei leaned on the back of the sofa, looked up at the ceiling, and muttered to himself.

As soon as I calmed down, I didn't know how to exist, so I thought about something else. Today, the 17th Producers' Guild Awards were announced, and there was no award ceremony, because of the two film awards, Best Picture was awarded to "Brokeback Mountain" and Best Animation was awarded to "The Curse of the Human Rabbit".

And then...... There are awards ceremonies for the Directors Guild Awards next Saturday and the Screen Actors Guild Awards next Sunday, so I don't want to attend much.

"Do you know?" Ye Wei closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, "Snake carving, this bird will eat poisonous snakes, the ancient Chinese believed that it was also poisonous, and drinking wine soaked in its feathers would be poisoned." There is an idiom called 'drinking water to quench thirst', that is...... I understand it as solving old problems with new problems, and the problems are even bigger. You're drinking to quench your thirst now. ”

Come on, mundane things, some problems always have to be faced and solved, not to ignore it, let it go, there will be nothing.

How much trouble would it be if the paparazzi caught Amy Rosen coming in and out of your residence?

"Very, very troublesome, troublesome you don't want, your own death will be your own death, don't affect others......"

Ye Wei opened her eyes and knew in her heart that it was time to announce to the outside world that N and V had broken up, and they jointly announced that they would break up peacefully, and what to do if it had the least bad impact on her. How did it come to this? You idiot. It's early in the morning in Toronto, so I'll call her tomorrow.

Looking through the text message box on her mobile phone, she saw a text message from Anna Sophia, and Ana, who had been nervously inquiring about the news since yesterday.

Tell her too. Ye Wei called, and after a few beeps, he was connected, "Hey, Ana, haven't slept yet?"

"But!" Anna's excited voice came from the phone, "Can you tell the result?

"I don't think we'll be able to work together this time. ”

"Huh!?" exclaimed Anna, "I lost? Oh no...... I'm in adolescence! But I haven't acted in your movies yet, like I'm an outsider. ”

Listening to her frustrated tone, Ye Wei laughed at himself and said softly: "Ana, the candidate for a role needs to be considered a lot, and from the consideration of the overall lineup, you are not suitable." Because your temperament is different from Da Linqian and Susie's initial people. ”

Anna sighed and said reluctantly, "It seems that I can only accept it, who wins? Is it Saoirse Ronan?"

"She's a better fit than you are. As soon as Ye Wei said, Anna whined, and he laughed: "Are you going to fight for the heroine of "Bridge to Wonderland" with all your might." ”

"Bridge to Wonderland" is a classic children's book, and Walden Media, which recently has the rights to adapt it, announced that it has started production of its film project, which is scheduled to be completed within this year and released next year. Anna Sophia is a popular candidate for the heroine "Leslie".

He continued, "You really fit Leslie, more than Lincy, and Leslie is more likable, like Susie. "This kind of character is a bad movie, as long as you play it well, you will succeed, Leslie is an angel girl, suddenly died, no one can resist this.

"I want to do your movie......" Anna sighed.

"There will be a chance, and if there is a role that suits you, you will come and make a cameo. Ye Wei said very seriously, "Listen to me, you just need a role like Leslie now, she can show all your beauty, and you can also let Leslie live on the screen, I believe you can." ”

"Hmm. Although Anna had a small temper, she agreed, "Then I'll take Leslie." ”

"Come on, you'll be good at your own game, but I know you'll be better. Ye Wei encouraged her, and then prepared to close the line, "It's not early, rest early." ”

"Just, let's talk for a while!" Anna stopped, "don't deal with me!"

"Uh, okay, what are you talking about?"

"You've been weird lately......"

"Why do you say that?"

"A feeling!"
