Generally speaking, Murphy seldom takes part in the first audition. Except for the stars he invited, Paul Wilson was always in charge of the first audition of some other important roles. Now Paul Wilson is directing "game of Thrones". Billy Van Horn, who was also an intern from the Film Academy of Southern California and later an assistant director, was killed by Murphy Promoted to the position of casting director.
This is also the old man in Murphy's team. He has been following him since he made the second film.
In Hollywood, as long as the ability is OK, cronyism is a normal thing.
Naomi can be regarded as the heroine in the film. Due to the extremely limited budget, Murphy did not invite famous stars, but prepared to hold a large-scale audition.
As for Margot Robbie, because the environment has changed, at the suggestion of the agent, he has dropped out of the competition for this role.
Billy Van Horn was in charge of the first audition, while Murphy flew to Rhode Island to see if a yacht club there was suitable for location.
Billy Van Horn, who is in charge of casting, just like Paul Wilson, has become the focus of many agents.
Because of the large-scale audition, Billy Van Horn adopted the strategy of fishing for fish by casting a net, which is often used by Hollywood crew. The actors who can pass his assistant's preliminary examination will be arranged to take part in the first audition in the warehouse set in the suburb of Venice. The first audition is more like a beauty contest than a performance and lines, focusing only on appearance and figure.
Murphy's request is very clear. The actor who plays Naomi can perform very well, but the appearance must be excellent. How can a young female model who is not beautiful and sexy make people like Jordan Belfort fall in love at a glance?
The crew specially assigned two assistants to Billy Van Horn to assist him in the audition work. The longest time for the two assistants to join Murphy's team is more than two years, which can be said to be new.
In the circle of Hollywood, the relationship between agents, film companies and production teams is complicated. Many people, including Murphy, are affected by external factors. These two assistants who have not been in Murphy's team for a long time also selected a British actress into the first audition list.
On the day of the audition, Gail gado, the executive producer of the film, and Carla Firth, the producer, also came to the Venice studio, but they were more watching than interfering in the cast's casting.
The first audition was put in a photo studio on the northernmost side, which was one of the earliest places where the warehouse was rebuilt. Although it is more suitable to call this audition audition audition, it can be divided into three, six, nine and so on.
Actresses without any fame or qualifications are singled out by two of Billy Van Horn's assistants. They will enter the studio in groups to be investigated by the crew.
Of course, the premise of doing so is not to look at acting skills or lines, and other aspects of professional quality, but only to examine the external conditions.
"There are so many beautiful actresses in Hollywood..."
Sitting in the corner of the studio, looking at the five actresses who just came in, they have red hair, black hair, brown hair, and golden hair, but all of them are beautiful and sexy. Gail gado is quite emotional, and says to Carla Firth beside him, "it's faster than the Miss Universe beauty contest."
"So..." Carla Firth leaned up to Gail gado's ear and said, "it's not easy for Murphy."
Gail gado gave her a pair of white eyes, "you..."
She shook her head, also know in Murphy's current position, it's really not easy, their pay is full of returns.
This circle is really chaotic, but different people will choose different lifestyles. Gail gado knows that Murphy chooses himself.
"There aren't many beautiful actresses in Hollywood either," Carla Firth said. "This time, because of the audition conditions announced by the cast, they made specific requirements. Those with limited appearance, even if they sign up, will be brushed down when reviewing the materials."
Gail gado gently nodded his head, "most of Murphy's requirements for actresses are just at the stage of vase."
"It's not his problem." Carla Firth knows more about Hollywood. "It's the status quo in the circle. The biggest significance of the existence of Hollywood actresses is actually the vase, which has been better in recent years."
"Yes." Gail gado sighed, "it's like a commercial film, leaving little room for the actress to play."
Carla Firth suddenly changed the theme, "Warner Brothers and DC Comics have not been in contact with you, I hope you can continue to play wonder woman? It's said that they have planned an independent movie about wonder woman
"I want to be a better producer than an actor." Gail gado also did not need to hide in front of Carla Firth, "Warner Brothers chose to interrupt the cooperation with Murphy, and I'm not interested in playing wonder woman again."After thinking about it, she said, "Warner didn't know what to think. Instead, he found a pure visual director and gave up the route Murphy had planned for them. He was ready to let Batman, Superman and wonder woman fight in the second movie."
Carla Firth laughs. "Maybe it's the success of Marvel" Iron Man "and Walt Disney's upcoming acquisition of the whole marvel that put too much pressure on Warner Brothers."
At this point, she sighed, "Zach Schneider's style is a bit like Murphy's, but he's just like Murphy on the surface. Maybe when something goes wrong with the new DC superhero movie, Warner Brothers will come and ask Murphy again. "
Due to the explicit refusal of Warner Brothers to play wonder woman, Warner Brothers' latest film has become a melee between Superman and Batman, and Gail gado doesn't want to see Warner Brothers change Murphy's plan and achieve great success.
"I'll encourage Murphy to kill Warner Brothers and DC Comics," she whispered with a smile
If this Superman and Batman film really goes wrong, the opportunity to fall into the well should not be missed. They need a stronger material foundation to live happily in this country.
Living beside Murphy for a long time, influenced by Murphy's behavior style, Gail gado has changed a lot unconsciously.
As long as there is something wrong with Warner Brothers' DC superhero movie, they can only go back to the starting point and seek the help of people who have brought a very successful start before.
But this kind of help is not free anywhere in the world.
Gail gado and Kara Firth just glanced at the actors in and out of the studio from time to time, and did not express any opinions. Apart from groups of unknown actors, they also met many famous actresses.
For example, Sophia vegala, Amanda Seyfried, Lindsay Lohan, Rooney Mara, Jennifer Lorenz and so on
Although the pay for this role is limited, the attraction of the heroine in Murphy Stanton's new film is still very great for those actresses who are not very famous.
Especially the new actress, if you can get such a heroine, life will undoubtedly take a big step forward.
Let alone new actors, even some actresses who have been in Hollywood for nearly a decade are aiming at Naomi.
A black business car drove out of Venice city, gradually approached the warehouse set, and finally stopped in an open space in front of the set gate.
There are so many cars here today, and there are so many beautiful women going in and out of the gate of the set. It seems that there is a world scale beauty contest going on here.
Looking at the door, once so familiar, now so strange, with a short blonde hair, Kerry Mulligan sat on the back seat, a little stunned.
In recent years, her development has not been smooth. Even if the media and fans occasionally mention her, her representative works are still the original two films "fruit candy" and "electric saw", and few people remember the later films and roles.
Even within the agency CAA, her position has plummeted.
At that time, she was a potential actress favored by CAA, but later she was abandoned by bill rosis
"Kerry, I managed to get this opportunity."
Next to her, wearing glasses, is her agent, also from CAA. However, her position in the company is more than two grades lower than Bill rosis. He encouraged Kerry Mulligan, "as far as I know, Murphy is a nostalgic person. Now the heads of all departments in this production group are also your old acquaintances. I believe..."
Kerry Mulligan looked cold. "I know what to do!"
She does not want to see the company's new arrangement of small agents, pull the door to get off, regardless of the agent behind the Hello, selfishly toward the door of the set.
After a few words with the security personnel unfamiliar with the set, Kerry Mulligan walked in. It was no longer the dilapidated place it used to be. After being bought by Stanton studio, it was renovated to a certain extent and has become a complete studio.
She was also a strange staff member. She and her agent were led to a rest room and sat in the same room with other actors. After waiting for about an hour, someone came to inform her that she could go to the back studio for an audition.
"Kerry, come on!" The agent cheered her up.
But Kerry Mulligan didn't pay any attention at all. She got out of the lounge, walked along the sign, and entered the long corridor. Gradually, she felt familiar.
Especially in front of the small studio that serves as the audition room, a memory comes back to Kerry Mulligan's mind. (to be continued). )For mobile phone users, please browse and read for better reading experience.
