Because the shooting requires a huge studio, the Transformers are not only produced by cg, but also have the same scale model. Shahai Entertainment once again chose the Hughes Aircraft Factory in Burbank as the location for the "Transformers" crew. The office location for the preliminary preparation of the crew.
At the same time, many indoor shooting scenes will be set up here.
The protagonist of this film is undoubtedly Transformers headed by Optimus Prime, but the real-life actors are equally important.
After Michael Bay signed the director contract, Ronan communicated with him many times, and finally determined the script and the main role setting.
is completely different from before. Ronan planned a whole series from the beginning. Although the scripts that follow have not yet begun to create, the main content has been determined.
In addition, there will be experimental manifestations of "Special Forces".
The movie will not make relevant explanations, but it can make people think about it. If the response is good, it will continue to advance in the sequel.
If the response in this regard is mediocre, there is still enough room for retreat.
The audition and decision-making power of other actors in the crew, Ronan has all been handed over to Michael Bay, and only the candidates for the heroine and actor must be approved by him.
The heroine is set as a high school girl.
There is no direct relationship between the heroine and the heroine.
This will be an absolute elite in the army, the commander of a special tactics squad, with strong personal combat capabilities and field command capabilities.
The character's name is Duke.
There will be a black communications expert Blake beside him.
This black role has been finalized as an actor, played by Tyrese Gibson, who has signed a long-term contract with Shahai Entertainment.
Regardless of Duke or Blake, only their names will be mentioned in the first part of "Transformers", and there will not be too specific background settings.
Even if the Special Forces and Transformers are really placed under the same world view in the future, this is also the experience of Duke and Blake before joining the Special Forces.
Therefore, there will be no specific embodiment of joe in this film.
The setting of also determines that the film will adopt a two-line approach. The first main line is the heroine and Duke is the second line.
The choice of actors for the two roles is naturally the top priority.
Ronan can give the choice of other characters to Michael Bay, but these two characters cannot.
Michael Bay’s reputation in this area is well known in the circle of people. The heroine who has appeared in Michael Bay movies has an unusual relationship with him.
This is a common phenomenon in the film circles all over the world. Ronan is not much better. He has done similar things many times.
In fact, he and Michael Bay have something in common in this regard. They are considered to be the type with a good reputation in the circle. If you observe and gain, you will definitely have to pay accordingly.
The audition for the heroine has already begun.
Ronan sat in the audition room, quietly watching an actress audition.
This young actress with long brown hair and a slightly wild temperament is performing a physical show at the request of Michael Bay.
Ronan recognizes her because the impression he once was too deep.
Miss Fox, Megan Fox!
If the project of "Transformers" still follows the previous version, Ronan will definitely consider Megan Fox as the heroine, after all, there is a actor ahead of her.
But now the heroine is the first protagonist and the second protagonist is Duke.
In front of the camera, Megan Fox fully understands Michael Bay’s physical display requirements. The body has an exaggerated s-shaped curve, and the height of the front and back ends is unusually eye-catching.
Michael Bay seemed very satisfied, and kept nodding slightly.
Ronan frowned slightly, Megan Fox looked like a wild female leopard at this time.
Megan Fox has fascinating fox eyes, a tight and flat belly, and a thrilling S-shaped slender figure.
In addition, there is more wild and unruly than other Hollywood female artists.
can only be said to be an actress who was once the first vase in the universe.
Of course, I can’t look at Megan Fox’s face.
The current Megan Fox probably hasn't made a big knife on his face, and the freckles should not be too obvious.
There is a huge difference between Western aesthetics and Eastern aesthetics.
In the East, this situation would be called an ugly pockmark.
But in the West, the weird beauty of freckles is popular.
For example, when Emma Watson grew up, when she didn't wear makeup, her freckles were a bit scary.
However, Emma Watson is completely insignificant in front of Megan Fox.
"Okay, Miss Fox." Michael Bay called to stop the audition: "Please go back and wait patiently for news from the crew."
Megan Fox politely bowed slightly to Michael Bay and Ronan: "Thank you director, thank you producer."
While talking, a pair of smart eyes drifted over Ronan intentionally or unintentionally.
Obviously, this is a smart man who knows who really decides this audition.
Ronan sighed secretly. Although he was incapable of admiring the freckles on his face, he had to admit that Megan Fox was indeed a weapon for men to relax and invigorate blood.
Michael Bay asked at this moment: "Ronan, what do you think of this actress?"
Ronan didn’t answer, but instead asked: “Let’s talk about your opinion first.”
Michael Bay knew that the decision-making power was not in his own hands, and he left a certain amount of leeway in what he said: "The appearance conditions are very good, and the acting skills are a little worse. Generally speaking, he can be one of the candidates."
Ronan said: "Yes. However, Megan Fox's flaws are also obvious. The heroine's setting is the girl next door, which can be beautiful and sweet, but Megan Fox..."
Ronan didn't elaborate on the following words, but shook his head slowly.
If it is not the first protagonist, Megan Fox is indeed good, but as the first protagonist, Megan Fox's temperament is not suitable for the setting of the heroine.
Michael Bay is a smart man and said, "Let's look at other candidates."
In the morning, including Megan Fox, a total of four actors auditioned, and there are many actresses Ronan once knew, such as Emily Blunt and Tersa Palmer who have performed richly. Experienced young actress.
After lunch, the audition continued and Ronan met an acquaintance.
"I am Candice Swanepoel from South Africa." Candice Swanepoel stood in front of the camera with a sweet smile: "I have only appeared in one work, directed by Uvi Bauer. "Life and Death Fight"..."
Michael Bey glanced at Ronan unconsciously. The director Uvi Bauer knew that his reputation in the critics was a hundred times worse than him.
This person is a long-term co-director of Relativity Entertainment and is said to be very appreciated by Ronan.
Michael Bay’s eyes fell on Candice Swanepoel, his sunny smile, calm and **** appearance, and bright talking eyes, as if he saw the neighbor’s High school girls are average.
The girl's temperament is very unique and has an irresistible charm.
Ronan did not speak, just like in other auditions, just watched in silence. It would not be because Candice Swanepoel is more familiar with him that there would be other expressions.
The total investment in this project is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars. Without actually seeing the effect of the audition, it is impossible for Ronan to use new actresses casually.
Otherwise, he would not take time out to attend the audition.
According to Michael Bay’s request, Candice Swanepoel first said a line, and then performed a rivalry with the Hornet in front of the air, and finally it was an indispensable physical display.
Because of professional model training, Candice Swanepoel has an advantage in this regard.
As for acting skills, no one can expect Candice Swanepoel's half-time acting skills, roughly the same level as Megan Fox.
Compared with the representatives of Hollywood post-80s actresses, such as Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson and Anne Hathaway, the gap is very obvious.
But compared with Jessica Alba, it's not much worse.
Candice Swanepoel concentrated on coping with the audition without being distracted at all because Ronan was an acquaintance.
Before coming to the audition, both the agent and Charlize Theron had told her that Ronan would definitely participate in the audition for such a top Hollywood production project and decide the heroine.
Familiar with Ronan, this is an advantage.
However, Charlize Theron and Ronan have had many contacts. He understands the minds of such producers as Ronan, and emphasized with Candice Swanepoel that if the audition results are not good, even if she is Ronan. Nan's sister is useless either.
If you want to play to the advantage that Ronan is familiar with, and if you want to win the heroine, the audition is the premise of everything.
"Okay, Miss Swanepoel." Michael Bay said, "You can go to remove your makeup. We will notify you of the audition results in time."
Candice Swanepoel nodded and left the audition room.
Michael Bay looked at Ronan: "This actress has a good image."
Ronan nodded slightly: "The appearance conditions are more suitable than the previous ones."
"The acting skills are a little weaker." Michael Bay said: "Among the actresses who have auditioned, she and Megan Fox have the weakest acting skills This is very obvious, Emily- Blunt has the best acting skills, even two stops higher than Megan Fox and Candice Swanepoel.
The problem is that actresses with outstanding acting skills may not be suitable for simple vase roles.
On this, Ronan and Michael Bay have long agreed that "Transformers" is a purely commercial film, and the heroine is a vase embellished by Transformers.
This is the end of today's audition work, and the two also walked out of the audition room together.
Michael Bay said: "I tend to be Candice Swanepoel, acting is not important, but her temperament and appearance are very consistent with the heroine's setting."
Ronan is relatively cautious: "There will be three audition candidates tomorrow. We will make a decision after seeing them."
After a few words, Ronan went to see the special effects person in charge of Industrial Light and Magic. When Michael Bay returned to the office, he met Candice Swanepoel who had removed his makeup.
