In the afternoon, Anne Hathaway still did not join Evan Bell. On the one hand, she was not very interested in the macho show, and she was just talking and laughing; on the other hand, she planned to go to the Los Angeles Public Library, Since I really want to join the "Becoming Jane Austen" crew and play Jane Austen well, then I have to put it into action.

Evan Bell came to Griffith Park, which occupies 16 million square meters and is the largest urban park in the United States. It has golf courses, tennis courts, horse riding trails, observatories and zoos. A fully equipped urban playground

Today's "Spartan 300 Warriors" actor interview is scheduled here, and Evan Bell came here to join Thomas Lansing. When Evan Bell arrived at the scene, the gym was full of enthusiasm.

In fact, this is already the third round of interviews for the movie. I heard from Thomas Lansing that the actors have been eliminated to less than 300 people, mainly because this is a muscular movie, and all 300 warriors must be in shape. Strong actors, so the whole elimination process is relatively simple. However, in the selection of the most important male protagonist, the King of Sparta, there are 22 candidates, which will definitely make people dazzled, and the other main characters are not Less, it is absolutely not sloppy to say that the interview venue is in the gym. It also leaves enough time for the actors to prepare. When the interview begins, they must put on Persian robes and show enough ability as in the movie to get the final result. Role

This time, Evan Bell is the nominal casting director, and it can be regarded as borrowing Evan Bell's strong appeal in the Screen Actors Guild to attract more extras to join "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors". Different from other movies, "Spartan" Not everyone can act as the extras of "Bada Three Hundred Warriors", it is absolutely impossible without enough muscles

Evan Bell just glanced at the door of the gym and didn't attract anyone's attention, then walked to the next room and pushed open the door. There was a lively discussion, "This line is not domineering enough, I I'd still suggest using the paragraph that Zach said, "This is Thomas Lansing's voice.

"In my opinion, as soon as you wear the same clothes in any section, the feeling comes out." This made Evan Bell a little surprised, it was Andrew Stanton

"Andrew, what are you doing here? You don't need to pay attention to Wall-E's work?" Evan Bell's voice interjected directly. He saw that the topic discussed by these people was not that important, so he said it directly. Sure enough, this The three people in front of them all turned their heads, and it was Thomas Lansing, Andrew Stanton, and Zach Snyder who met for the first time.

Andrew Stanton and Evan Bell are familiar, so naturally they are more casual, "Our other staff have been busy all the time, so I'm just here to help and have a meeting with the special effects team tomorrow."

However, Zach Snyder was a little nervous. When he stood up, he could clearly feel that his muscles were tense, and his whole body exuded a jerky and tangled breath. Evan Bell did not have a special acquaintance. To say hello, he walked in front of Zack Snyder, introduced himself with a smile and stretched out his right hand, "The story of the three hundred Spartan warriors is really wonderful, but I didn't expect that you would use this way. presented"

Zach Snyder smiled nervously, wanting to show his humility, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't hide his inner joy, and finally the smile showed an awkward arc, "Thank you to Frank Miller. comics, and that wonderful 'Sin City'" Zach Snyder shook Evan Bell's hand, then put his right hand down but it didn't seem right, raised it and stopped in mid-air. , and finally landed on his head, scratching the back of his head shyly, "Such a plan is indeed very bold, you know all the use of computer special effects to make the background, which needs to consider the three-dimensional space system, as well as the process of color rendering, don't Speaking of the coherent part of the whole character, plot and scene, this needs..." Speaking of which, Zach Snyder saw Evan Bell's half-smiley expression, only to find that he seemed to say too much in one go It's a bit rude to talk too much, "Of course, you should know all this, you are a director, God, you are not only a director, but an excellent director"

Evan Bell looked at Zack Snyder, who was a little flustered in front of him, and laughed dumbly. He must admit that the director who focuses on visual effects and imagination is a typical nerd image, which reminds him of "The Big Bang Theory". The group of nerds in ry", especially Leonard Evan Bell couldn't help but start to think, when did "The Big Bang Theory" start airing, in 2007, I don't know if the show has been put into the plan, but this association It was only a momentary thing, and Evan Bell quickly pulled his thoughts back, "No, I don't know all of this"

Zach Snyder blurted out, "How could you not know all this?" After he finished speaking, he realized his rudeness, and immediately showed a silly smile, looking very embarrassed

Evan Bell didn't mind at all, and shrugged, "I'm not a person who is good at computers, and my knowledge of special effects is also very short. In the short term, I have no interest at all; of course, the important thing is, In terms of talent, it's normal for me to have no interest."

Evan Bell's humor made Thomas Lansing and Andrew Stanton laugh, Zach Snyder didn't seem to react, laughed twice, paused, then looked back at the other two One glance, and two more dry laughs, but in the end I still felt bored, so I could only stop in a daze to see Zack Snyder's expression, Evan Bell and the three laughed happily

In the end, Evan Bell calmed down first and said to Zach Snyder, "Is there any protocol for today's interview?"

Zach Snyder nodded quickly, picked up the script on the table, and showed it to Evan Bell, "We choose the king of Sparta first, after choosing this character, the other main characters will choose the rest one by one. Those who can't get the lines will stay and become soldiers."

Evan Bell looked at the script, Zack Snyder opened the page, and the part with the red line drawn, Zack Snyder then explained, "We were discussing the interview just now, Which part of the lines should the actors show more appropriate?”

Thomas Lansing came over immediately, "Yes, Evan, which part is more suitable for you?" Andrew Stanton didn't come over, he just stood beside him and kept laughing

Evan Bell didn't read the script, just shrugged, "What is the nickname of the king of Sparta?"

'Mad' Zach Snyder blurted out

Evan Bell nodded, "That's right, it's better to use a line that can best show this trait. It's the first time in the script that he is mentioned as a lunatic, where is it?"

Zach Snyder picked up the script, flipped through the front, and quickly found the required fragment, and read it directly, "You came to my steps with the head and crown of the conquered king, You insult my queen, you threaten my subjects with slavery and death, O Persian, I did consider it, and perhaps you should have done the same just now."

Evan Bell knew where this part came from after listening to the lines. Facing the threat of the Persian messenger, the king of Sparta broke the convention of "the two armies are fighting without killing" and made the messenger kill the sentence directly. "Crazy" comes from the Persian messenger's evaluation of the king

Evan Bell couldn't help laughing, "Zach, are you sure this is crazy?" Evan Bell was actually saying that Zach Snyder said this line in a gentle way, without the king's domineering at all And crazy, it's like a bedtime story

But Zack Snyder didn't react and said seriously, "Yes, and then the messenger said, 'It's blasphemous, it's madness.' That's the first time madness is mentioned in the show, isn't it? Was it there before?"

Facing Zach Snyder's seriousness, the three of Evan Bell couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Many times, humor is not the unimpeded Evan Bell laughing to Zach Snyder. De's attention was drawn back, "Zach, I think the next sentence is appropriate"

"The next sentence?" Zach Snyder looked down, glanced at Evan Bell with some uncertainty, and then saw the script, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Crazy? This is Sparta "

"Yes That's it" Evan Bell's smile seemed to say again, but of course he couldn't follow Zack Snyder's interpretation of the sentence "Crazy? This is Sparta" It is short and powerful, and full of explosive power. The most important thing is that the actor must have a very clear grasp of the insolence of the whole character. In addition, he has the temperament of dominating the world. To show the essence of this line, of course, in fact, if necessary, you should also add the previous two dialogues together, which will make the whole scene complete and the test will be more delicate. However, in Evan Bell's view, Si What the role of King Bada needs is explosiveness, and he also hopes to see this kind of light on the actor

"This saves a lot of trouble. Do you need to notify the actors in advance and let them prepare?" Thomas Lansing looked at Evan Bell and asked

Evan Bell thought for a while, "Okay, just go out and read this line and let them prepare. The interview will start in 20 minutes." After that, Evan Bell turned to look at Andrew Stanton , "How is the progress of Wall-E's production? I heard last time that Remy's production encountered a little difficulty"
