Chapter 160

The casting scene of the Spartan 300.

After several rounds of looking through the mirror, Jack, Kevin Fitch and Zach Schneider were excited. After all, many of the actors who came to the scene were famous, but they were also worried.

It's hard to choose!

"Good guy, there are a lot of big names coming for the leading actor." Kevin Fitch was surprised.

"Yes."

Director Zach echoed: "Keanu Reeves, tall and handsome, can definitely play the role of Leonidas with a little exercise. The key is that he is famous《 "Dangerous relationship", "speed of life and death" and "shock point" have all achieved quite good box office results in the world. If he can play king Leonida, it will add extra box office for us. "

"That's right."

Kevin Fitch nodded in agreement.

For a moment, Zach and his wife all focused on him.

Zach is the director, Kevin is the second producer, but the film's leading actor and heroine and the main role of the staff finalized, still is the decision of Zhuke.

If Zhuke doesn't nod, no one will be able to speak!

"Keke ~"

Zucker pondered and said, "Keanu is famous. I know. And I'm sure that after a bit of exercise, he's in the shape of Leonidas. But

Speaking belongs to speaking. When we talk about the word "but", then the front is white.

All of a sudden, Zach was excited.

"I don't deny that Keanu is excellent, but he doesn't have that kind of kingliness in him. Keanu is a bit out of line in the key roles of fearlessness, bravery, roaring, roaring, domineering and so on. He is the kind of actor who suits cool temperament. He almost means to be the king. "

Zhuke explained patiently.

"Er..."

Zach was stunned, but still a little unwilling: "boss, Keanu is lack of those factors you said, but I believe that under my training, these are not problems. Well, it's OK even if it doesn't have that kind of magnanimity. "

As a director, who doesn't want to work with famous actors?

MMP！

Smell speech, Zhu Ke immediately rolled a white eye!

Dog day Zack, don't I know Keanu is famous! But just because he is famous, the price is also high!

According to today's market, Keanu Reeves as a leading actor, the price is at least $10 million, or even higher. What's more, the brokerage company behind it should fight for the corresponding box office share for him!

what?

Are you saying that Jack and Keanu are not friends?

ha-ha!

"Business is business, friends are friends."

The two must not be confused.

Zucker does not deny that Keanu is an excellent actor. He has been getting along well since he met him for more than a year. However, he deeply believes that he is not suitable for the role of King Leonida.

The role of King Leonida is not only the core of "300 warriors of Sparta", but also the soul of the film. Once the choice is wrong, let alone increase the extra box office, it may be worse!

Therefore, it is absolutely not empty talk to be cautious.

"Boss, Viggo Mortensen, what do you think?"

Zach once again suggested: "he is 1.8 meters tall and has good muscle lines. He has also played the role of" King ". I think he can play the leading role."

Why?

Zucker could not help but utter a voice of astonishment.

Vygo Mortensen, of course Zucker knows him.

You know, he is in the future as the role of Aragon in the Lord of the rings trilogy. The popularity of his role, Leng is to protect the main role of the ring team to pressure down.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let him have a look." Zucker decided at the moment.

........

Actor Viggo Mortensen walks into the mirror.

At present, Zhuke three people look at Viggo Mortensen, whose 1.8m height, clear muscle lines, is still good, leaving a good impression on Zhuke and others.

"Mr. Mortensen, this is the script. You play this part." Zach said.

"All right." Vygo Mortensen responded and began to read the script, brewing emotions.

The three of them were not in a hurry and waited with great interest.

In 10 minutes!

Zach's script for Viggo Mortensen is the story of Sparta when the Greeks and the akadians feel unable to defeat the Persian army and persuade Leonidas to retreat with them.

"The war is over!"

Zach said in the voice of an akadi.

Viggo Mortensen, oh no, from this moment on, he's Leonidas!

"Shut up! It won't be over until I say the war is over. "

"We will be surrounded by the Persian ghost army, and the hot spring pass will fall. We can't defeat Xerxes. They are too strong!"

Zach continued.

With disdainful eyes, King Leonidas looked at the leader of the akadi people, turned to a few Spartan soldiers, opened his arms, and cried out with all his strength: "Spartan warriors, prepare to fight to the end with glory!"

"Glory?"

"You are crazy!"

"Where is the glory of fighting? We can only choose to retreat, surrender or die. "

At this moment, the leader of the akadi people looked at Leonidas with the eyes of an idiot and continued to persuade them to retreat together.

"Hum!"

King Leonida looked at him and snorted, "it's easy for us to choose, akadi! Spartans never flinch! Spartans will never surrender! Spread these words, let every Greek know the truth, let them find their conscience. Now that you're here, think about it. "

Then he turned his head and looked at the Spartans.

His face was cold and full of smile. At this moment, he was extremely contradictory, but very reasonable.

Because he is the king of Spartans!

"Brothers, Spartan soldiers will never retreat or surrender. This is the Spartan law!"

"According to Spartan law, we will fight for Sparta to the end!"

"Death is not a pity."

"A new era is coming, an era of freedom is coming!"

"The world will know that Sparta's 300 warriors defend freedom and fight to the death. A hundred years from now, a thousand years from now, we will still be remembered by the world, and we will go down in history forever ~! "

King Leonidas looked at the crowd with calm eyes, and suddenly roared again: "prepare breakfast, everyone, have enough. But tonight we're going to eat and drink in hell! "

It's over.

Pa Pa ~!

Zucker, Zach and Kevin applauded immediately.

"Viggo Mortensen, the hero is yours!"

Zhuke made a decision on the spot, and did not say anything like follow-up waiting for notice.

.......

In fact, when deciding to let vygo Mortensen play the role of King Leonidas in 300 warriors of Sparta, Zucker considered that Gerald Butler, who played this role in the original history of time and space, would still play it.

But!

Now only 27 years old, Gerald Butler is just a rookie who has just entered Hollywood for two years. His experience and ability are not enough for this role.

After all, in the original space-time, "Sparta 300" was shot in 2005, not now in 1998.

He's too tender now!

In contrast, vygo Mortensen is not the same. Now 40, he is at the peak of his life. His experience and acting skills are also at the peak. What's more, his future role as Aragorn in the Lord of the rings trilogy is quite domineering!
