Looking up at the hall in front of you, you can see that it is spacious, bright, tall and transparent. The dark blue tone is calm and atmospheric. You can't find any movie posters or actor photos in your sight. It doesn't look like a film production company at all, but more like a business building. However, this is only the first time that Langley has visited a film company. There is no reference standard, only a fixed impression in his mind. Maybe it is the same with all the film production companies in Hollywood.
"Mr. hall? Your reserved meeting room is on the sixth floor, 6014. This is your temporary pass. " The receptionist at the front desk said politely, then handed out three papers. Nathan came forward to pick them up, and finally nodded with a smile, "I wish you all the best."
Lan Li politely received his chin in response; Nathan handed out the papers to Langley and Roy, and the three went to the next gate. "Are all the auditions of big companies conducted in the headquarters? I thought I'd choose a theater or a studio office Lan Li asked curiously.
"Not necessarily." As a former agent, Roy knows it like the back of his hand. "Most ordinary productions are made in theaters or studios, especially studios, where there are rooms for auditions. However, there are some special projects, or auditions for top actors, which are also conducted in the headquarters. "
"Is blue gift a special treatment?" Nathan looks a little excited. This is Warner Brothers. Since the millennium, Hollywood has deserved to be the top one. In ten years, it has won the five-year box office champion. In the past three years, it has successfully won the third consecutive championship, and its performance is absolutely strong.
By the way, for the remaining five years, Disney won twice, Sony Columbia won twice and paramount won once.
Langley and Roy exchanged a sight, and both of them were smiling. Obviously, neither of them thinks that this is a special treatment. According to the information provided by Andy, it is more likely that "tomorrow's edge" still does not have a core producer, Tim Lewis does not have enough voice, or even a casting director. So he chose Warner Bros headquarters for the first audition.
Today, Langley paid a special visit to Warner Bros. headquarters in New York to participate in the audition of tomorrow's edge. It has to be said that Andy is a vigorous and tough agent. It's only two days since lanli got the script of "tomorrow's edge" and asked Andy to start operation. The audition opportunity has already arrived. Such efficiency is admirable.
But now everything is unknown. What does today's audition mean? What is the attitude of Warner Brothers? Is the project progressing? How was the audition? What's the purpose of the audition? What kind of situation will the audition take? What are the requirements of the performance content? Is the continuity of the script important?
All this information is unknown. Not surprisingly, today is just the first audition, and there will be more auditions.
Although lanli has participated in "speed and passion 5", the previous situation is quite special. It's just a round of audition, and it's still one-on-one face-to-face interview. The rest is left to Andy. The whole process is simple and clear, crisp, and not a typical super blockbuster cooperation mode.
Strictly speaking, "tomorrow's edge" is lanli's first time to participate in the top production of the six major film companies from the beginning, and it is aimed at the position of the leading actor. The whole audition process is a new challenge.
Langley has heard that Chris Hemsworth has gone through four rounds of auditions before becoming Thor. Of course, the audition process of new actors, second-line actors and top actors is bound to be different. But I don't know how this audition of "tomorrow's edge" is going to be.
"Well, we're at Warner Bros. headquarters right now. From this point of view, that's right." Roy replied solemnly that Nathan's blind faith in Langley was, in a way, a good thing. He looked down at his watch. "Nathan, what time is our plane this afternoon?"
"Three forty-five." Nathan is responsible for booking air tickets, so I remember very clearly, "today is Tuesday, but at noon, there will be more vehicles on the road to the airport. So we'd better finish the audition before eleven
Lanli must fly to Toronto in the afternoon to attend the film festival, and "crazy love" will be officially screened tomorrow evening. This itinerary has been determined since lanli's vacation, and the audition of "tomorrow's edge" is a temporary addition. Fortunately, Nathan's previous booking of air tickets is in the afternoon, which originally left lanli time to sleep in, but now it's left for the cast to audition.
Obviously, it's Andy's decision to seize the time gap and make use of this precious space to let Langley talk with "tomorrow's edge" in time before the Toronto Film Festival. It can be seen that Andy has now started a new round of operation and planning.
It's less than half past nine, which is more than enough in terms of time. However, the initiative of the audition is not in the hands of the actors, and today's audition is unknown, so we still need to act on the spot. That's what Roy asked.
In the meantime, the three had already reached the sixth floor. When there was no public audition, there was a huge crowd, but it was not a few simplified auditions in my imagination. The whole corridor was empty, and there was no one waiting in line. It was so quiet that the sound of the elevator door was like a bell reverberating in the corridor.
"Is this... Normal?" Nathan looked around at the empty and quiet corridor. It looked like the office building of a top listed company. It was cold and solemn, and even lifeless. This kind of environment is the most suitable for shooting horror ghost movies, just like the long corridor in "flash".
Roy hesitated a little, but then he thought, "maybe today is a one-on-one audition. Andy temporary appointment time, Warner Bros. may be dedicated to you, sent the crew of the relevant personnel, and you interview After a pause, Roy added, "that's what top actors do."
But Roy's tone was a little uncertain. Sure enough, Lan Li cast his eyes, and both of them looked suspicious. The reason is very simple. Lanli is not a top actor now, not belittling himself, but seeking truth from facts. So, why did Warner Brothers make such a gesture? Do they have no hope for "tomorrow's edge"? Worse than Andy thought?
Nathan's exploration steps have gone out, looked at the numbers at the door of each room, then turned around, shook his head at Langley and Roy, pointed in the opposite direction, indicating that room 6014 is on the other side.
Lanli started to look for the room where they were going. Suddenly, the door of the escape staircase was pushed open heavily. The dull and harsh sound reverberated in the corridor. Conditionally, lanli turned around and looked over. Then he saw a short, fat black woman.
This is not a discriminatory negative adjective, but to be realistic. Her height is less than lanli's chest, but her body width is nearly two and a half. Lanli has a typical pear shape. Her hips control the center of gravity of the whole body. She is not fast when walking, but is shaking; She is a beautiful woman with delicate and neat braids, well matched jewelry and rich but meticulous make-up.
She pushed the door and came in. She looked up at Lan Li and others. There was no special expression on her face. She just said hello casually, "morning." There was no response to Lan Li's polite response, but he went straight ahead, pushed open the door of one of the rooms, didn't look back, and said, "Mr. hall? Please come to this room
The voice was cold, but the basic etiquette was maintained. Is this today's interviewer?
"Lucinda syson." Roy nodded and said a name. "It seems that Andy hasn't been idle these two days. It is estimated that the project has made progress. "
Lan Li did not ask too much, but nodded meaningfully. It can be guessed that the interviewer might have something to do with it. Two days ago, "tomorrow's edge" was only a bare commander project of Tim Lewis. Andy held three meetings with different objects; Now, the interviewer has a guy who is famous, and the progress is very obvious.
The audition started so fast that there was no warning. But it's not difficult for Langley. Before the "Pacific War", he delivered many resumes. Although he didn't win the audition, he watched many auditions on Broadway and knew the whole process. What's more, Lan Li is not experienced in many battles, but he no longer knows nothing.
Without any deliberation or hesitation, lanli walked straight to the door of the room and took a look. It was No. 6014, so he waved to Roy and Nathan and went in directly.
"Come on Nathan only had time to clench his fist and whisper, and then the door was closed. This makes Nathan nervous. "Roy, is this audition process normal?"
"I think so." Roy said ambiguously, "but it's certain that Langley can handle it. Maybe, after an audition, it's decided? " It was a joke, but Roy and Nathan both chuckled.
In Hollywood, casting director is a very special position. They all have a pair of sharp eyes. There are nearly 600000 registered actors in Hollywood, but many casting directors have seen more than that number. They are not only good at digging out the shining points of actors, but also have their own deep understanding of director preferences, character style, business potential, Hollywood mode and so on.
As we all know, the correct casting can add color to the film, and the chemical reaction between actors is even more important; And a little bit of angle deviation, may lead to a project completely destroyed. Top casting directors, they are also hot. Lucinda Sisson is a top casting director.
