Two Hundred and Thirty-Three - Women's Thoughts
Of course, agent Pat Kingsley knows that if Nicole Kidman can participate in this big project, with Wayne Greenberg's production level, she will definitely be able to take advantage of it and take her career further.
But she was also very sober, and she understood very well that the other party would agree to let her client attend the audition. It was definitely to show Tom Cruise's face, and it was definitely not because he was optimistic about Nicole Kidman's role.
This kind of production team has pre-determined the actors in advance, and it is difficult to change the decision of the producer or director in a formal audition. No matter how good the audition is, the hope is slim.
"Pat." Nicole Kidman didn't look back, looking at the mirror and said: "If the audition result is not satisfactory, please help me arrange a dinner with Wayne Greenberg. I want to talk to him in person."
Of course, Mrs. Cruise knew that she had no advantage in this audition, but the opportunity to participate in such a project was too rare even in Hollywood, where there is no shortage of projects, so she had to fight for it no matter what.
"Okay, but don't get your hopes up."
The agent nodded. "Tom is participating in the final dubbing work of "Interview with the Vampire". I think if you come to audition without notifying him, Tom will definitely be unhappy when you return."
Nicole Kidman said nothing and concentrated on adjusting her skirt. Since her marriage to Tom Cruise, although she has gained many resources in the industry and has no shortage of work, she has not really become popular.
No matter where she goes, people respect her, but she understands that they respect her only because she is Mrs. Cruise, and people respect her superstar husband.
Moreover, Tom Cruise is very strict with her, and he is very proud and unreasonable, which makes Nicole Kidman always feel like she can't breathe.
There is also the unsatisfactory career. Now when everyone mentions Australian actresses, the first thing they think of is Naomi Watts, followed by Nicole Kidman. This is what she cannot accept the most.
In the dressing room next door, there are also two women waiting for the audition. Sitting in front of the dressing table is a plump American girl. Especially on the face reflected in the mirror, there is a particularly sexy lips.
"Leslie, try to get Wayne Greenberg's contact information. This is very important to me!"
The agent nodded awkwardly. "Don't worry, Julie. I will try my best to find connections. However, the audition performance is equally important. This is the premise."
Angelina's assistant picked up the water glass and sipped it in front of the mirror. She got this audition opportunity through her father, but although her father's reputation is great, it is impossible for her to become the heroine.
If you want to get this role, you have to think of another way. Through various media, she has roughly understood what kind of character the director is. Since the other party maintains relationships with several women at the same time, it means that he is a typical "Hollywood-style" producer.
She has seen this kind of thing a lot since she was a child, and she also understands the character of such big shots. If she wants to impress them, her most basic acting skills must meet the requirements, and the rest depends on her own ability.
With her father's favor and the fact that she is not reluctant to give, Angelina Jolie is very confident in this matter. And according to the information she learned, this young director has a very good reputation in this area, and he has never turned his back on anyone before he even pulled up his pants.
In the temporarily arranged audition room, Schwartz and his assistant sat at the front, while Wayne and Tim Burton sat at the back. There was a director's monitor in front of him. It was the same as the actor's audition process. The performance will be fed back to the monitor through the camera immediately.
"let's start."
Tim Burton spoke to Schwartz.
In fact, everyone in the room knew what was going on in this audition. Tim Burton, as the production manager, had already communicated the contract issues with Naomi Watts' agent. This shows that, If nothing unexpected happens in this matter, it will be impossible to change the candidate.
The door to the audition room was pushed open, and the first person who came in was Nicole Kidman. She was wearing a professional skirt, which highlighted her model-like figure, and her skin was so white that it was dazzling.
"Hi, Wayne, hi, Tim."
After she came in, she found these two people immediately. The actors who walked into this studio knew that these two people were the ones who made the decision.
"Ms. Kidman." Schwartz waited for her to say hello and said politely: "You are going to play a female prosecutor. You can start when you are ready."
Wayne looked at this woman and immediately pressed the negative button in his mind. Even without Naomi Watts, he would not use Nicole Kidman.
The first is her height, which is obviously a bit too tall. Christian Bale is 1.83 meters tall, and it is impossible to act next to her. With her height, coupled with women's high heels, she will immediately let people know when she is photographed. People make plays.
And the most important point is that Nicole Kidman, a woman, has very little popularity with the audience, whether in the years when she first arrived in Hollywood or the time after her divorce from Tom Cruise. She is said to be the least liked by North American audiences. One of the actresses.
No one can change this situation, which was later concluded by netizens. Some North American movie fans may be naturally xenophobic. After all, this market is the most xenophobic movie market in the world.
As long as Wayne recalls it carefully, he can recall that except for the few films this woman starred in when she first divorced Tom Cruise, which were sold well due to the blessing of sympathy points, all the remaining films she has participated in have almost nothing. Good grades.
There must be a factor in film selection, but Nicole Kidman's agent is the famous Pat Kingsley, a veteran agent in the industry who single-handedly brought out Tom Cruise. It is impossible There is always something wrong with vision.
This has to make people think deeply. Everyone is afraid of box office poison, even Wayne is still afraid.
"Okay, that's it!"
Schwartz clapped politely and said, "Ms. Kidman, based on your audition performance, we will notify your agent of the results within three days. Thank you for coming to this audition."
"OK, thanks."
Nicole Kidman nodded and sighed in disappointment as soon as she left the audition room. Even though she had known the result, she felt very unwilling.
The producer and director had not spoken to each other since they entered the room. In just a few minutes of audition time, she had already noticed that these two people were absent-minded, which showed that her chances were very slim.
"Nicole, how are you?" Pat Kingsley asked in a low voice as he waited for the other actress to enter.
"No?" Nicole Kidman shook her head and walked out of the studio. "Let's not rush back. Let's wait in the rest area. I want to try to talk to Wayne Greenberg."
"Okay." Although the agent agreed, he didn't have high hopes.
The door to the audition room was pushed open again. Wayne immediately looked at the plump girl who walked in, but he also frowned immediately.
"Good afternoon, I'm Angelina - Assistant."
After saying hello, Schwartz asked her to start her performance again.
Tim Burton looked at his old friend's daughter from the monitor and frowned slightly.
He tilted his head slightly and whispered to Wayne: "She is too plump and completely inconsistent with the character image you set. Well, it seems you are right. I will call her father."
"Um."
Wayne nodded, this was his first feeling. It seems that Naomi Watts is destined to get this role. These two contenders have no hope, and their own image is quite different from the role.
Even though Angelina Jolie was also prepared and put on a women's skirt, her figure was more obviously highlighted by this uniform.
If you look at it from a man's perspective, this is definitely a rare beauty. With a hot figure that is bulging forward and backward, coupled with the distinctive sexy lips, at first glance, you will know that this is a stunner. .
But in this audition room, the two people who can make decisions will not let these interfere with their judgment.
"Okay, let's stop here."
As if it was routine, Schwartz said, "Ms. Julie, based on your performance during the audition, we will notify your agent within three days of accepting the role. Thank you very much for coming to this audition."
After this woman went out, Wayne was actually thinking that her figure would be very suitable for the role of Catwoman. This typical Western-style hot figure, wearing a special black tight leather jacket, is absolutely perfect on the screen.
Then he shook his head and drove the thought out of his mind.
This is not a simple girl. She is about to enter the most bastard and corrupt period of her life. Even in the Hollywood circle, there are very few people who can seek death to the extent like her.
Angelina Jolie's repentance is comparable to Robert Downey Jr.'s prodigal son's return. These two Hollywood stars are also the most familiar examples of self-redemption.
One can imagine how depraved her life was before she turned over.
"Hi, Schwartz, hi, Tim!"
After Naomi Watts came in, she was not embarrassed at all and greeted the two of them generously.
No one is more familiar with this character than she is. She has seen Wayne's original drawings many times, so her outfit today was completely designed based on the drawings in her memory.
She is also wearing a well-fitting women's skirt uniform, with light makeup on her face, her long hair tied back casually, and a simple ponytail paired with this outfit, which is basically exactly the same as the character's setting.
This is the role of relationships. Even if this is a fair audition, she will win without any doubt in terms of image.
"Okay, Nami, let's start your performance." Schwartz said with a smile, his tone full of casualness. Compared with Gong Jin's previous attitude, he was completely different.
This just shows that he directly regards Naomi Watts as one of his own. They are really familiar with her anyway, and there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to pretend that they don't know her.
