Chapter 674

"I admit that I knew it beforehand, but... it's actually nothing, right?"

"Wait, wait, listen to me..."

"I have three projects going on in Hollywood at the same time, and little Robb is getting older, and it's time for his mother to come out and look for a job. The probability of encountering them is quite high..."

"Don't do it at a disagreement! Put your hands down, I warn you, one, two, three... Really!"

"It's just a supporting role. I really don't know why Linton chose her so early. Why don't you let him explain it to you in person?"

"No way, how could we cover each other..."

"Just a small supporting role, okay, okay, don't be angry."

"Calm down! I really didn't do anything secretly. You see, I have always been obedient and never asked the female supporting role to audition?"

"Didn't I respect your opinion on the matter of Motura? I also asked you to randomly choose an actor from me to shoot your autobiographical movie with your ex-ex-boyfriend..."

"Mutual understanding."

"Others? Uh... maybe Amy Adams will be auditioning for another female supporting role too?"

"Don't just stop, take a deep breath, take a deep breath... OK? Didn't you say it before? Fergie is our money printing machine, you can understand that she is under my flag, why can't you understand it when it's changed? The nature is the same ah……"

"I make it up? I don't need to make it up. Think about it. Xue Linfen used to be the heroine anyway. This time she is willing to come to my project to play a prostitute. For me, no, is our project a good thing or a bad thing ?Um?"

"Dancing out of my life, the box office is over 100 million. Amy Adams' status is not what it used to be. She seems to have accepted an art film this year, a youth commercial film? They are all heroines. She is willing to play in a cat and mouse game." Of course I can't wait for a female supporting role, think about who made the money?"

"Yes, just like Fergie, without those money printing machines, how can I buy it for you?"

"I promise, I promise not to ask. Well I swear..."

"All right, let's confront Linton together."

With only a solid tongue, Song Ya beautifully resolved a small crisis, and went to find Linton all over the building with her arms around her.

"Fxxkyou! Linton!"

In the small office at the end of the corridor, Steve Buscemi's agent can be heard telling him, "Are you using us to put pressure on John Malkovich's agent? You didn't intend to in the first place." Enable Steve!"

"Sorry, I didn't mean that, but after making difficult choices with other investors, I decided to use John Malkovich."

Linton shrugged, "Although the tone of the cat and mouse game is not too dark, it is a crime film after all. Director Ridley Scott and I don't want the audience to spend part of their energy on guessing whether the male lead is a bad guy..."

"Come on, does John Malkovich have a good face? Everyone is famous for acting as a villain." Steve Buscemi's agent broke the lie, "The fact is that he is willing to cut his salary because of our competition. !"

"John can still be saved with makeup and styling, Steve is much more difficult, you know..."

Linton opened his mouth and cracked his front teeth with his hands, hinting at Steve Buscemi's protruding big buck teeth.

"Fxxk, don't be an asshole Linton."

Steve Buscemi's agent left cursing.

"Hey, don't be like this..."

Linton smirked at his back: "Business is business, we will cooperate again next time we have a chance."

Without looking back, the other party raised a hand to signal that he understood.

"It's just been done. John Malkovich is willing to cut his salary to two million. At this price, he will still be the number one paid cat and mouse game." Linton happily announced the good news when he saw Song Ya coming.

"Well, Mr. Linton, Mimi has something to ask you."

Song Ya wiped the signal on her mouth with her hand, and didn't care whether Linton could understand it.

"I am willing to serve you Mrs. Song." Linton was in a good mood.

"It's nothing..."

Mariah Carey waved her hand,

Pretend to say: "I just happened to see that you chose Xue Linfen to play the role in your office."

"Oh, this matter."

Linton didn't look at Song Ya, and replied naturally: "Indeed, I was going to sign the role of the high-class prostitute first, because the hero's audition scene required the actress to act, and Xue Linfen was very suitable. After all, I used to act as the heroine all the year round, and I have a good position. Although I have passed away in the past few years, I am willing to come to our project to play a female supporting role. Of course I can't ask for it. And..."

He hesitated to speak.

"And what?" Mariah Carey pressed.

"With all due respect, the role that Xue Linfen got was set up as a once-famous cover girl who gradually degenerated into a courtesan in a high-end hotel. This kind of role will come with an outdated actress. Some topicality is good for the publicity of the cat and mouse game project. Xue Linfen has also filmed movies like Stealing the Moon. I thought it was impossible for her to be willing to audition, because the audience can easily confuse her in reality with the senior in the play. It is generally not a good thing for an actress to combine associations with prostitutes. Of course, if this role can be relied on to regain the affirmation of Hollywood and film critics, it must not be a bad thing. It's all earned."

Linton said a lot.

"That said, well, it makes sense..."

Mariah Carey thought for a while, and nodded in agreement, "My husband didn't ask you to help her..."

"No, Ms. Kelly, this is a big production of 20 million yuan. Well, I admit that the outside world will not call a movie with an investment of 20 million yuan now a direct big production, but everyone in Hollywood knows the annual production cost. There are not many projects at the level of 20 million. The opportunity is rare, and it is also very important to my Hollywood film industry. There is no human relationship to talk about here. I will keep an eye on it. No one wants to make fun of their own money. Investors In order to forcefully push one or two actors, the movie is ruined, and everyone will be finished, and no one will indulge this phenomenon..."

Linton said: "Well, it's not that I don't indulge at all. I have a tacit understanding with APLUS and other investors in the main role. Don't interfere. Let professionals decide everything."

"Okay, you've passed, hum." Mariah Kelly nuzzled and rolled her eyes at Song Ya.

Linton took the opportunity to blink his eyes like lightning, "APLUS, Mrs. Song, let's go to the casting room. The most important male lead audition is about to start. Wait a minute, uh..." He gestured to Song Ya.

"I know, Mimi, there will be big people coming later, you must not lose your temper again inside." Song Ya warned his wife in advance, "Don't speak casually, you are a bystander in this project."

"I know the rules." DIVA is still sensible, she made a gesture of zipping her mouth to shut up with her hands.

"Okay then, let's go."

The three came to the casting room together. Today, the number of people behind the long table doubled. In addition to old faces such as Ridley Scott and Yeremov, there was also the original author and film consultant Abagnale. , investor, former ace talk show host and former script owner Johnny Carson, executive president of distributor Bowell Pictures, and Disney vice chairman Roy Disney.

"APLUS, Miss Kelly, come and sit down."

Johnny Carson, who was whispering to his old friend Roy Disney, greeted them warmly and invited the two to sit down beside them.

"Hello, Mr. Carson, Mr. Disney..." Song Ya and his wife shook hands with the bosses one by one.

"It's an honor, Miss Kelly."

Roy Disney and Bowei CEO were very surprised by Mariah Carey's arrival, and they all kissed hands in a gentle manner.

"I've just negotiated a John Malkovich deal, and an ad sponsorship from DC Comics."

Linton took the opportunity to report the results, "DC is very happy with comic elements such as The Flash and superhero cards in our movies. The card collection market has collapsed recently, and they are willing to pay a relatively good price for this kind of soft advertisement to appear in movies."

"Thank you, Mr. Roy, too. I heard that MGM is willing to let the movie screen and soundtrack of 007's Goldfinger appear in our movie." He flattered Roy Disney.

"It's nothing, it's just a matter of saying hello. The protagonist's imitation of James Bond's consumption behavior also has an advertising effect on 007."

Roy Disney is a very kind-looking person, "MGM is so happy, they make money."

Everyone laughed together, "So the preparations have already begun. The first part of the main character's audition this time is a scene where he imitates James Bond. Let's inform Jude Law."

Linton should have quietly changed Xue Linfen's original plan to play the role after learning that Mariah Carey was coming, and now it is the protagonist's one-man show.

"Good man..." Song Ya secretly gave him a grateful look.

This audition stage is mainly to see if the protagonist's appearance and temperament can support the whole play, imitating the romantic and suave James Bond is a basic homework.

Jude Law, who was wearing a well-tailored suit, and his agent quickly entered the door, "Director Scott, Mr. Linton, Mr. Yeremov, Mr. APLUS, Miss Kelly..." He called everyone under the agent's whispered reminder. Greeting in a circle, "Mr. Disney, Mr. Abagnell..."

"The suit is not bad, is it made to order by Savile Row?" Abagnell asked.

"Yes."

Jude Law nodded. He was nearly 1.8 meters tall, very well-proportioned, slightly thin, and he was a good clothes rack. He was handsome in a classic custom-made suit, and he could almost go directly to an audition for James Bond.

"Then let's start. We have to audition for several scenes today, and the time is very tight." Linton said.

The staff moved a full-length mirror, a supporting actor who played the role of a tailor was in place, and the two began to perform opposite scenes.

The play itself is not complicated, but after watching Goldfinger 007, the main character started imitating and went to a tailor to order a suit similar to that of James Bond.

"Bond, James Bond."

Jude Law imitated the words and demeanor of the movie characters in the full-length mirror, and the photographer slowly moved the camera closer. This audition is not only about the performance, but also the actual effect of the actors on the camera and on the big screen.

"Are you sure it's this suit?" Jude Law took out a small comb and asked the tailor while combing his thick hair narcissistically.

"Sure, it's exactly the same as the one he wore in the movie." The supporting actor replied.

"Okay, I'll buy three sets..." He said embarrassingly.

"Okay, Mr. Abagnell, all you need now is that little foreign sports car that Bond drives in the show."

Naturally, the supporting actor didn't want to let go of the opportunity to express himself in front of the bosses. He took out his notebook and moved towards the camera. He tilted his head and said while writing accounts, and the cameraman backed away slowly following his movements.

Jude Law raised his eyebrows with an impressed look, and looked back at the tailor while putting his hands into his trouser pockets.

Such a short performance is over.

"Uh, Jude Law, are you British? As an imitator, I noticed that you imitated Bond's accent just now. Can you imitate my southern accent and my long-lived New York accent? "

Abagnell was the first to ask.

"Okay..." Jude Law picked up the script and said the same sentence several times with different accents.

"Haha..." Obviously not standard, Johnny Carson and Roy Disney laughed.

"I will continue to practice, please rest assured, I am a professional actor, in the West End of London..."

Now is the last hurdle, Jude Law is obviously very nervous, and immediately wants to restore the confidence of the 'judges' in him.

"Don't be nervous, we know your strength."

Linton smiled and explained to the others: "He won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Newcomer."

"good……"

Roy Disney and Bowei’s CEO nodded their approval again. Americans still recognize British awards. In the eyes of Americans, this award is basically as famous as the Tony Award. It is the highest award for dramas and musicals. Although the Best Newcomer Award Not convincing enough.

"OK, you go and have a rest first." Ridley Scott was inconvenient to express his opinions on the audition of the British fellow, he asked Jude Law to go out first, "The next one is Jared Leto."

Jared Leto, who appeared in front of Song Ya again, has changed a lot. He seems to have given up the route of transforming into a decadent rock-and-roll sportsman for this audition. He cut his hair short, shaved his beard, and returned to white and tender blond hair idol boy style.

The same is very beautiful, but different styles, and it is more inclined to Xiao Lizi than Jude Law, "But it is still not as good as Xiao Lizi." Song Ya thought silently in her heart.

"Bond, James Bond..."

Jared Leto's British accent from Bond is a bit weird, no, he seems to do it on purpose to enrich the content of the performance, "Ahem, Bond, James Bond..." He faced the full-length mirror, the second During the first imitation, the voice was already slightly hoarse, and the British accent was more standard, learning from Bond performer Sean Connery himself perfectly.

"Good actor..." Song Ya thought to himself, this made the protagonist's ability to imitate more convincing.

After the short first paragraph, Abagnell asked him to imitate accents from all over the United States. This is not difficult for local American actors, and Jared Leto completed the task very well.

Song Ya saw Roy Disney nodding frequently.

"Next, Edward Norton."

Roy Disney showed a blank look on his face, "He is a pure newcomer, but the play is very good." Linton explained.

"More than that, he's just a lunatic." Yeremov laughed.

"What do you mean?" Mariah Carey asked.

"You'll know it when you see it."

Edward Norton's appearance is obviously not as good as the first two, he is just a handsome white boy, and the suit he wears is also cheaper than the first two professional actors.

"Bond, James Bond..."

But the play is indeed better, this guy not only has an accent, but also takes care of his manners, demeanor, and every subtle movement. Sean Connery is second to none.

"Okay, Mr. Abagnell, all you need now is that little foreign sports car that Bond drives in the show."

The male partner said again.

Edward Norton raised his eyebrows, looked back at him, then pursed his mouth tightly, nodded his head slightly, his eyes showed a look of being moved by this sentence, a small scene was played out by him, as if there was such a young man Jin's boy stands in front of everyone, and everyone can feel the psychological changes that he is looking forward to new consumption goals.

"not bad, very good……"

This performance conquered Johnny Carson and the others, and Ling Luo's applause resounded in the casting room.

"I think this performance can be enriched." He even offered to add scenes, "For example, add a face-slapping scene with a contemptuous tailor..."

"Okay, we'll discuss these after you get the role." Linton drove him out.

"Are you? Vic's attorney?" Goodman and Hamlin Law Firm upstairs from A+ Records, Hamlin, who stayed in Chicago, looked at the red-haired woman who walked into the office, "Is there anything I can help you with?" Is it?"

"Very nice place, the decoration is very tasteful..."

The red-haired woman walked into the room at a loss, looked around, "Oh, by the way, just call me Tashawnie." She held out her hand.

"Okay, Ms. Tashawny, you are here..." Hamlin looked at this somewhat nervous woman suspiciously, and shook hands with her.

"I just met Vic McGee, my client." She sat down, and her eyes were attracted by the small artwork on Hamlin's desk.

"So..." Hamlin was a little puzzled.

"He is very concerned about the condition of their two children. You know, uh, since we are both lawyers, let's just say it, hehe, I'm not good at, uh, not good at..."

Tashauni kept gesticulating with her hands in front of her, "This little thing is very beautiful, you have great taste, hehe... Forget it, forget it, will APLUS continue to donate to that hospital?" His thinking was jumping asked.

"I didn't get a notice to stop the donation," Hamlin replied.

"So it will continue? For next year..."

"According to our agreement with the hospital..."

Hamlin checked out the documents, "Yes, it will continue. The foundation under Aunt APLUS' name will transfer a sum of money every year on time, automatically."

"I see, um..." She thought for a while, "Forget it, I have no other questions, bye..."

She smiled and stood up from her seat and walked straight out.

"Uh, can you tell me about Vic's recent situation?" Hamlin asked.

"Sorry, I came here just to ask about this matter..." She quickened her pace and fled away as if flying away.
