Chapter 1316: Casting (2/3)
In this era, Jason Statham still looks very young, just an ordinary actor who is messing around in Hollywood, taking over more than a dozen small roles, and no one knows him on the road, there are too many actors like him in Hollywood.
After meeting in the capital city of Las Vegas a few years ago, Han Xuan didn't give Statham much help, helping to arrange important supporting roles in "The Expendables", which has already made people say that he has gone out of shit luck, which is the largest film project of the year with Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Shange Winton, Bruce Willis and others, with an investment of 130 million US dollars.
Having already given the role in "The Expendables" and now the role in "Cats", Statham expressed his gratitude countless times, and the two stood in the corridor and chatted.
Gabriel wondered why the little boss was so enthusiastic about him, and after looking at it, he found that Statham's muscles were very good, and people of the same kind were similar......
"Shoot what?" Han Xuan's voice at this moment was full of surprise: "You have played a supporting role in "The True Color of a Lady" and "Romeo and Juliet"?
No, no, no, don't do it again in the future, it's going to ruin you.
With your appearance, you should go to a muscle movie, fight with Schwarzenegger and them on screen, and then learn how to act, and you'll succeed. ”
Thinking that Han Xuanbu didn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt were, Statham smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I've been learning acting, I found those two roles myself, and I also want to fight with Mr. Schwarzenegger, but I don't have a chance."
This time, after the release of "The Expendables", the situation should be better, and the resources of the agent company will be tilted after becoming famous, and now that I have received your role, the agent must be very happy. ”
He had already promised Han Xuan that he would participate in the show just now, and he didn't even ask what role he played, he agreed in one bite, muscular people like to solve problems by force, and they don't like to think when they move their fists too much, such as the big bald Owen bodyguard.
Statham is not stupid at all, when he came in from the gate of Dimen Film Company just now, when he saw so many people, he knew how much attention this movie with a very strange name was, and there would be almost ten people competing for the unimportant small supporting roles in normal times, but this time there were about forty or fifty, which has increased several times.
"Didn't the agent arrange it for you?
Don't worry, after the release of "The Expendables", you will definitely be popular. ”
Han Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said that Jason Statham is one meter eight tall, standing next to Gabriel and them, he can only be regarded as a small person, especially compared to Owen, who is several sizes smaller.
"My agent arranged many opportunities, but they were all minor supporting roles that were not important, with a maximum of 21 lines.
My agent brings in a total of eight clients, and there are often small roles that audition for and don't always get a chance. ”
"Change the agent, just say I'm going to praise you, I believe they will give this face, with an excellent agent to help, you will have more opportunities to be famous."
“…… Thanks again.
I'll remember what you did for me, but do you really want to praise me? ”
"Of course, you are the star I discovered, if I don't reach the salary of 10 million US dollars, how ashamed will I be?"
When others say this kind of thing, Statham will think it is ridiculous, but the young man in front of him at this moment is Han Xuan, which is worth thinking about.
The heart is for sure, the breathing has become heavy, if Han Xuan is a woman, maybe Statham will be able to dedicate himself to this sentence.
The unspoken rules of Hollywood do not distinguish between men and women, in fact, this kind of thing is not called an unspoken rule at all, it is called "the rules of the game" openly.
Marilyn Monroe wrote in her autobiography: "Yes, I slept with the producer, everyone was like that, if you don't do it, there is another girl waiting outside the door; I can't remember how many times I crouched down and unzipped them......"
After a short chat, leave.
Han Xuan questioned the company employees and entered the house where Mr. Joe Camp was.
At the door are actors holding a thin manuscript, dressed in strange ways, according to their own understanding, showing the appearance of the characters.
When he came over, Han Xuan received countless smiling faces, all to leave a good impression in his mind, but unfortunately thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, and most of the actors were destined to be sad.
In the room, there is an old actor performing, playing the butler off the script, wearing a tuxedo found out of nowhere, and he is in his fifties.
When he unexpectedly saw Han Xuan, he became stammering because of excitement, and finally sighed weakly, and his shoulders collapsed.
"Wait." Seeing that several people were about to score, Han Xuan stopped them, raised his head and smiled at the old actor, and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you just now, you can perform again."
These two mustaches are very interesting, and the housekeepers in my house don't have beards, which would be strange in reality, but it's different in the movie. ”
"My God, it's so ..... Thank you so much, hug...... Sorry, I stutter when I'm nervous, but it's okay when I have lines. ”
Camp was already engaged in his role as a director, his eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, sir."
The stammering butler is more interesting and will help you with extra points. ”
The old actor's eyes also lit up, and he repeated the performance just now, only seven or eight sentences, half stammered, and soon finished the performance, bowed and walked out.
Generally, the actor is not decided on the spot, even if the right candidate has been selected, and some people have to prepare for the interview for a long time and always give them a chance to show it.
Many low-level actors know that the opportunity is slim, so they can only adopt the tactic of casting a wide net, and those who have become famous hope to make a living by acting, even if this is the case, it is difficult to achieve.
There is a specialization in the art industry, Han Xuan stood by and watched, and did not talk nonsense.
After about a minute alone, I quickly finished choosing the role of housekeeper, and an interviewer went out to let the actors who played the nanny prepare.
"Actually, you don't have to choose these roles, I have ready-made ones in my family, and they are all more professional than them, but forget it, how many roles have been solved?"
"At the beginning, it took about two days to finish, and the shooting will last for a long time, as long as the previous roles are selected, there is no need to worry about the rest for the time being.
Han, the most important thing now is to choose the heroine, just now they told me, you told you not to choose, is there already an arrangement? ”
Han Xuan smiled and said to Director Kemp: "Yes, I have contacted a friend, and she wants me to give her the opportunity, so I don't have to choose for the time being, prepare and prepare, and start filming in a few days......"
