Chapter 25 Amanda

James Huang has been in Hollywood for many years and has worked as a producer in different positions in three TV crews. Robert Lee and George Clint are also veterans in preparing many videotape movies. Although Ronan is inexperienced, he should be humble. I will definitely ask for advice with humility, and the crew preparations are on the right track.

By the end of March, the equipment and props rentals had been negotiated one by one, all the behind-the-scenes staff had been recruited, and the script had been officially finalized after discussions and revisions by Ronan, James Huang and Glenn Morgan, and a small brokerage firm had signed a contract. Extras, and even actors for Arabic roles, were settled.

In Hollywood, the number of Arab actors is small, the treatment is poor, and they are not valued. They are basically villains or terrorists.

With only $15,000 in salary, Ronan found two Arab actors who had played more than 20 roles.

The villain is better to say that most of the time wearing a mask, Hollywood has never been short of extras who are fierce and have some shooting experience.

In the end, only the male and female protagonists' family of four actually auditioned.

On the male lead, James Huang recommended a candidate, American actor Robert Kneipp.

This man was born in 1959, has golden brown hair that meets the requirements, standard Western-style white people, and has a very distinctive appearance. He has been in the industry since 1986, but he is lucky and can only play small supporting roles.

The price is right, the appearance and acting skills are passable, and after just one audition, Ronan has finalized his role.

The lead actress was the second confirmed, with 38-year-old actress Melissa Leo, with long blond-brown hair, taking the part.

Then there are the two daughters of the hero.

The youngest daughter is set at about 10 years old, and the eldest daughter is about 16 years old.

Actors can add years on top of that.

Generally speaking, in teenage years, the older the actor is, the more reliable it is. In Hollywood, there are often cases where actresses in their twenties play the roles of girls in their teens or sixteens.

A blonde girl in her teens stands in front of the camera in the Warners Studios audition room.

This is the office building of Warner Bros. Studio, which also has a post-production room. Each floor has thousands of square meters. The "Human Clearance Project" crew just rented an audition room and a few offices again.

James Huang is controlling the camera, and Ronan is looking at the candidate he has dug up from the cast file.

The girl has a typical baby face, big talking eyes and long blond hair, which looks like a large Barbie doll.

However, facing the camera, the girl seemed a little nervous.

"Relax." Ronan smiled, "There are no monsters here."

The girl burst out laughing, and her expression relaxed.

Behind the girl's side, the girl's mother carefully observed everything and secretly recorded this scene.

Her daughter's appearance is sweet and lovable, which is her advantage. She saw it when she applied for a job as a small model before.

This producer seems to have a good first impression of his daughter.

Ronan presided over the audition and James Huang himself filmed it, which has always been the procedure before.

"Introduce yourself," Ronan said.

The main content of the audition is basically common in the industry, neither mysterious nor complicated.

"My name is Amanda Seyfried, I'm 13 years old, and I'm from Pennsylvania." The girl smiled sweetly and said in a calm tone: "I started doing community shows at the Polby Theater in Ellen Down when I was nine years old. Drama, became a child model at the age of eleven, and filmed print commercials and three TV commercials..."

Ronan nodded lightly. This kind of resume can't compare with child stars like Kirsten Dunst or Christina Ricci, but it's not bad for 12- or 13-year-old actors.

anyway,

He couldn't afford a child star like Kirsten Dunst or Christina Ricci.

Ronan respects his work partner properly most of the time. After Amanda Seyfried introduced herself, he looked towards James Huang, who nodded quietly.

If you stutter in the face of the camera self-introduction, there is no need to proceed to the next step.

Ronan said directly: "Miss Seyfried, please play a scene where you are terrified." He glanced at the woman who had been staring at him, and said, "The scene is that a killer broke into you. Home, you have to hide and not be discovered by them."

"OK."

Amanda Seyfried's voice was soft, brewing for a few seconds, her arms folded and her chest huddled, she sat helpless on the ground, her lips were tightly pressed into a line, and her big eyes seemed to have tears coming out.

Suddenly there were footsteps outside the audition room, Amanda Seyfried choked, and quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth...

Within ten seconds, Ronan stopped and said, "You acted a scene of dissatisfaction with a strong sister."

The audition lasted twenty minutes before it ended.

Ronan called and asked the staff to bring the eldest daughter's actor over to continue the audition, and asked James Huang: "How does it feel?"

"It's okay, the acting skills are above the basic line." James Huang said truthfully: "Of course, it's not the best group. There are two people in front who performed better than her."

Ronan said directly: "Those two are too poor in appearance."

To be precise, it's too ugly. Children in their early 10s are neither cute nor cute, and they don't add to the film.

James Huang has a different opinion: "Appearance is not the most critical, there is makeup, there are filters..."

Ronan squeezed his chin and added: "Amanda Seyfried's appearance is too great. Her frail feeling, sweet looks and cute big eyes are more attractive to the audience. In the atmosphere of killing and terror , a soft and soft little girl who can reach people's hearts."

"Uh..." James Huang thought for a while before he said, "What you said makes sense."

Ronan will not easily use power to oppress people. That is the lowest-level solution to the problem. He smiled and said, "Is she the first decision?"

James Wong agreed: "Okay."

Ronan circled Amanda Seyfried's profile with a red pen, choosing her as long as the price was right.

The former Hollywood four little actresses, although they can only be used as a vase later, but their own conditions are really good.

The door of the audition room was knocked from outside, and the staff walked in with a blonde actress who was not selected by Ronan. It was estimated that he entered the audition list through James Huang or other channels of the crew.

This is normal. In Hollywood, people basically have their own personal networks, and human feelings also apply here.

As long as he doesn't go online, Ronan won't care too much.

And the appearance of this actress is really unforgettable.

Bulky chest, bulging ass, bulging thighs, typical American meatballs.

Ronan could see that the staff members who were standing on the side of the actress were secretly swallowing saliva.

Even among Americans, such sexy meatballs are relatively rare.

Ronan looked at her and said, "Introduce yourself."

Blonde Meatball noticed Ronan's gaze and said, "I'm Jessica Blake, twenty years old..."

After some self-introductions, Ronan and James Huang looked at each other, and after reaching a consensus, they said, "A killer broke into your home, and you performed a frightening scene."

Jessica stuck out her tongue and licked her fat lips, then let out a piercing scream.

what--

The sound was so high in decibels that it seemed to penetrate the roof.

Then, the blond meatball kicked off the high heels and ran away. The running caused a violent breast shock, and the tight shirt ripped open a few buttons, revealing the pink lace bust inside.

This guy simply pulled off his shirt, threw it on the ground with his backhand, turned a corner and ran towards Ronan and James Huang.

That pair of meat bombs seemed to be enduring an eighth-magnitude earthquake...

Seeing that the meatballs tended to jump out of the bust, Ronan hurriedly shouted, "Stop!"

The performance of Blonde Meatball is extremely exaggerated, and the basic literacy of the actors is still a little bit, so he stopped immediately.

Ronan said directly: "Miss Blake, it's alright. We will notify your agent of the audition result three days later."

Jessica Blake nodded first, turned to pick up her shirt, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly looked back at Ronan and squeezed her eyes.

"Knockout?" James Huang asked.

Ronan nodded: "Yeah."

The actress was not using too much force, but was exaggerating. If he hadn't called to stop just now, it is estimated that her bust might have been taken off.

Although the pair of meatballs were dazzling, this was an official audition.

Besides, it's not a pants director sitting behind the camera, and it's not going to be a good year to see a naked audition.

After the audition in the morning, the eldest daughter still could not find a suitable candidate. Ronan replied that the office put down the materials and went to the toilet to run water.

Blonde Meatball quietly followed.
