Chapter 384： Do not shy away from relatives

There were five main judges for the audition: first producer Dunn Walker, executive producer Kathryn Kennedy, assistant producer Erin Kelly, director Rob Marshall and casting director Glenn Fee Hierro.

Of course, it must be Dunn who holds the final decision.

Catherine Zeta-Jones just finished a 5-minute on-camera performance and it worked great.

"She's a good actress, and her acting is good enough."

During the internal discussion, Kathleen Kennedy first gave an affirmative answer.

Rob Marshall agreed: "'Yes, she is the female lead I was looking forward to. The 'Velma' in the movie is a nightclub dancer, and she happens to be wild and coquettish enough. This is a kind of temperament. As another actor, it's hard to perform."

Eileen Kelly flipped through Catherine Zeta-Jones's profile and said slowly: "She learned to sing and dance in her early years, and she started performing musicals when she was a teenager. She is very experienced. According to the information, she also won the British tap dance championship, which is just in line with the film's role conditions."

Glenn Fierro agrees: "This role is made for her, in my opinion!"

In the original version of "Chicago", what impressed Dunn the most was Catherine Zeta Jones, with a refined short hair, very brilliant.

All external factors aside, as several others have said, Catherine Zeta-Jones is the perfect choice!

Tang En nodded, "The audition will continue. If there is no better one, let her be!"

Rob Marshall looked happy, and it was clear that Catherine Zeta-Jones was the actor he was looking for.

The directors and producers agree, which is a blessing for Hollywood directors.

"Next... Jennifer Aniston."

Glenn Fierro shouted to the staff at the door.

But at this moment, a female staff member walked over quickly and whispered: "Madonna is here!"

Tang En was shocked, "Ready?"

"Wait outside."

"Please come in!"

At this time, there is no need to be polite. Dunn spoke directly and allowed Madonna to jump in the queue.

Jennifer Aniston also acted in a "Friends", which is only somewhat famous in the United States, not at the same level as Madonna.

Even Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts have to take shelter from the wind in front of Madonna.

With any Hollywood crew, it is impossible to entrust an international superstar like Madonna to Jiuhou.

Five minutes later, Madonna finished her audition for the camera.

Tang En smiled politely and said, "It's a great performance!"

Madonna is notoriously unrestrained, she threw a wink at Dunn, ignoring the presence of others, "I heard... If you want to make your movie, you need to sleep with you?"

Tang En cursed 10,000 times in his heart, with a calm expression on his face, "Nonsense, this is definitely a slander!"

Madonna rolled her hair by her ear and kept squeezing her eyes at Dunn, "It's okay, don't break the rules because of me."

Dunn sweated badly and almost vomited.

Even if she is well maintained, she is still an aunt in her forties. This coquettish and cute look is really creepy.

Fortunately, Glenn Fierro made a timely rescue. "The outside rumors are all nonsense. The reason why Dunn's movies are good is because he has a respectable professional attitude. Miss Ciccone, those words you said... ...not a fact."

Rob Marshall also said: "Madonna, your performance is wonderful, but we need to consider it comprehensively. You can go back now. If it is suitable, we will contact your agent."

Madonna was dubious, she threw a big wink at Dunn and made a phone call gesture.

When she left, Tang En's cold sweat finally flowed out uncontrollably.

too exaggerated!

This Madonna... really lives up to its reputation!

Katherine Kennedy couldn't help it first, and "puchi" laughed.

It doesn't matter that this laugh, others can't help it, and for a while, the room is full of laughter.

Erin Kelly said: "I think Madonna can, she can sing and dance, she is wilder than Katherine Jones, she is suitable for the role of 'Velma'."

Kathleen Kennedy also fears that the world will not be in chaos: "A few years ago, she starred in "Mrs. Veron", her performance was very good, she also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, and was nominated for an Oscar, she has acting experience. ."

Glenn Fierro also half-jokingly said: "I think it can, Madonna's popularity is much higher than that of Catherine Zeta Jones, using her as the starring role, the future box office revenue will increase by at least 30 million US dollars! "

Tang En's face was ashen, he gritted his teeth angrily, and refused very firmly: "Impossible! This woman is a witch!"

Immediately, he laughed again.

...

In the morning, the first round of auditions was completed. In the afternoon, there was a chemistry test. It was to let the two actors play together to see if the interaction between them was good and whether there was any spark.

Among the two heroines, the candidate for "Velma" has been basically determined, that is, Catherine Zeta Jones, who leads all candidates with an absolute advantage.

As for the candidates for "Roxie", five people have been initially identified: Diane Mayer, Rachel Weisz, Denise Richards, Winona Ryder and Renee Zellweger.

In the afternoon, the crew will arrange for Catherine Zeta-Jones and these five people to play against each other to see the effect of the reaction.

Of course, because of the special relationship with Dunn, Rachel Weisz must have "priority".

Because "Velma", one of the two female protagonists, has been determined to be Catherine Zeta Jones, Dunn called her over at lunch time to have dinner with the audition officers of the cast to understand the role. In-depth communication, and a series of explanations for the "chemical test" in the afternoon.

After thinking for a while, Dunn simply called up Rachel Weisz again and made some points.

Catherine Zeta-Jones was very excited, her face was flushed, she kept raising her glass and toasting to everyone present. Although she didn't drink much, her attitude was sincere.

"Catherine..."

"Mr Walker, call me Kate!"

"Kate... Well, Kate, I have quite a few 'Kate' friends." Dunn made a joke first, and then said seriously, "Your agent, we have already contacted, as long as there is no problem with the salary, The role of 'Velma' is yours, I hope you can think about this role more carefully, believe me, if you play this role well, your acting career will be greatly improved."

Catherine Zeta Jones immediately said: "The salary must not be a problem! I know that the budget of the crew is limited, and I am mentally prepared Dunn smiled slightly and raised his glass, "Then wish us a happy cooperation ! "

Rachel Weisz sat next to Tang En. Although there were many people present, but the actress was thick-skinned, she acted like a spoiled child to Tang En in public, and pouted: "What about me?"

"you?"

Tang En smiled and gave her the sliced ​​beef on his plate, "You have to work hard. Whether you can get the role of 'Luoxi' depends on your performance in the afternoon."

Rachel Weisz's mouth bulged high, obviously not satisfied with Dunn's answer.

She knew that her competitors were Diane Mayer, Denise Richards, Winona Ryder and Renee Zellweger, but how could these people compare to her?

Except for Winona Ryder, she is not as beautiful!

Besides, she and Dunn have a very close relationship!

Catherine Zeta-Jones didn't find it strange when she saw the two of them having **** in public. The actress and the male director were a match made in heaven. That's how she came here back then, and said with a smile: "Rachel, don't go. Pout, Mr. Walker's reputation is so good, since you are... friends, he will definitely take extra care of you."

Rachel Weisz glanced at Dunn slantingly, and there was an uncontrollable smile on the corner of her mouth.

Dunn kept calm and dined peacefully.

At this time, there is no need for him to speak any more.

The conversation between the two women has already explained everything.

All of Dunn's subordinates were present. Since they understood the relationship between Rachel Weisz and him, they must be extra careful when judging.

Rob Marshall, the rookie director, may not know it, but other old Dunn Films understand it.

Tang En's habit of employing people is that he does not shy away from relatives, and starts with his own people!
