Three Hundred and Thirty - Everyone Is Looking Forward to His Failure

Wayne made a hurried trip to Australia, and the next day after returning to Los Angeles, he gathered with his core creative team and held a brief preparatory meeting.

Compared with Batman, this film will take less time to shoot and produce, because there is no locked-in special effects work, a long preparation period, or location scenes that require running around.

After the preparation meeting ended that day, Ector-Henri packed his luggage and got on a plane to Boston. He first went to inspect the location and contact the crew's residence.

At the same time, auditions for the main roles are about to begin. There are many people in the industry who are eyeing Wayne's project. Within a day of the news being released, dozens of resumes were submitted to casting director Schwartz through his agent. .

Among the resumes sent by these agents, there are many actors who have become famous. On the contrary, there are not many unknown roles.

This is related to Wayne's request. He has rough candidates for the three main roles in this drama. Unless the performance is really good and there is a reason that can impress him, he will not make changes easily.

The most important thing is that these three main roles all require certain acting skills. However, in this circle, actors with both acting skills and box office appeal are themselves scarce resources, and there are even fewer who can meet the needs of the roles.

Even the three people he has in mind now were slowly decided on one by one after careful consideration. It is very difficult for others to impress him and let him change. From the south, it is very difficult. Likewise, if the actors he personally invited failed to meet the requirements of the film during the audition, he would not hesitate to replace them.

On November 20th, the front of Warner Studios became lively again. Reporters and paparazzi with keen sense of smell gathered at the gate early, waiting for the stars who would enter.

As Wayne's new film, "The Departed" naturally attracted a lot of media attention. However, apart from the fact that they knew the name of the film and that it was a gangster film, they knew almost nothing about the film.

They hope to get some information about the film's script from the audition actors. Moreover, most of the actors who participated in the audition are not unknowns, and they represent a topic in themselves.

But this time they are destined to be mostly disappointed. So far, Christian Bale is the only actor who has read the complete script, and he does not need to audition for the role he needs to play.

Regarding the acting skills of the British "Batman", Wayne had nothing to examine. The other party's hard work and professionalism also made him particularly reassured.

The information revealed in this drama is that there are only two young male protagonists, and now one of them has been taken away in advance, and the remaining one. All the male actors who participated in the audition held their breath. They knew that the competition had become more intense.

"The salary is only a symbolic US$1.2 million, which is completely inconsistent with your worth!"

In the dressing room of the studio, agent Chambers walked back and forth around his client, with an expression of disbelief on his face. "You have to think carefully. If we agree to this condition, I'm afraid some crew will offer you this price in the future!"

It is definitely a taboo for an actor to lower his or her self-esteem in the business world, especially for an actor who is on the rise. Lowering his or her self-esteem will only send a message to the production company that you are only worth this price.

This is not something that happens once or twice. Once you have started, all the crews who will send you invitations later will follow suit one by one.

"Chambers, this is Wayne Greenberg's project!" Brad Pitt also looked hesitant. These words seemed to be meant for his agent, but they were actually the reasons why he convinced himself. "And he also took the initiative to invite me. This opportunity may further my career. Think about the British Batman. Does anyone doubt his worth now?"

The agent looked back at the door, leaned his upper body forward, and lowered his voice and said: "But this is a realistic gangster movie! Who can guarantee that he will never miss it? Listen, if Wayne Greenberg is here If you are invited by DC’s masterpiece, you can accept it with your eyes closed, it doesn’t matter even if you don’t get paid, but this is a realistic film.”

This is not the first time such an argument has occurred between them. Generally speaking, every time Brad Pitt ends up being silent.

The biggest reason why he was unwilling to refute his agent was that Chambers was considering everything for him and had no selfish motives at all.

No one can never fail. Of course he knows this, even if that person is synonymous with success! This is the consensus in the industry. Everyone is waiting for his first mistake. As long as this happens for the first time, no production company will deliberately avoid him during the film schedule.

The essence of the matter is this. Everyone except Warner Brothers is looking forward to Wayne's failure, but no company is willing to be the first to compete with his films.

"His goal is Oscar." Brad Pitt is very shrewd and guessed the opponent's goal early on. At least this is one of the goals. "That's important, isn't it?"

"call."

Agent Chambers let out a sigh of relief, sat on the lounge chair and spread his hands. "I'm just reminding you not to be blinded by that young man's aura. The salary of 1.2 million is too small. You can decide for yourself whether it's worth the risk."

This is undoubtedly a gamble. Originally, Brad Pitt should have taken advantage of the popularity of "Seven" to take on a commercial production with a higher salary, instead of taking the risk of participating in this unprofitable project.

If you win the bet, your fame will naturally increase, and fame means your worth. Maybe you can follow the film and go shopping at the Oscars. Needless to say, if you lose the bet, the popularity created by "Seven Deadly Sins" will be completely wasted. It will not only waste time but also make money.

Brad Pitt gritted his teeth. "Go to the audition first. If you can pass, we will agree to Warner Bros.'s conditions."

Next door to him, the same actor came to audition for the leading role, but they were together. There were only two of them in the dressing room, and they were not accompanied by an agent.

"Matt, I just saw Brad Pitt." Ben Affleck looked unhappy, feeling that their hopes for this audition were infinitely close to zero.

"Comon! Ben, don't do this."

Matt Damon reached out and patted his brother on the shoulder. "No one knows what the outcome will be until the audition is over."

Nodding slightly, Ben Affleck gave a wry smile. This was the second time that the two of them had come together to audition for Wayne's new film. The last time, he clearly felt that he had a chance, and he could also win from the director's eyes. Seeing that he was admiring his brilliance, he was inexplicably defeated by the Englishman.

The reason why he came again this time was purely because he was brought here by his friends. He originally wanted to have a glimmer of hope based on the good impression he left on the director last time, but the moment he saw Brad Pitt, he knew It’s hard to compete for this role.

His opponent has just starred in "Seven Deadly Sins" and is now at the peak of his popularity. He is not a male vase. In addition to being handsome, he also lacks in acting skills, and his box office appeal is not comparable to the two of them.

"It's about to start, we're ready." Matt Damon heard the footsteps outside the dressing room and reminded his good brother with a smile. "If none of us are selected this time, the worst we can do is continue writing "Good Will Hunting" and raise investment ourselves."

"Buckle" "Buckle"

Just as he was talking, the door was knocked twice, and the manager's voice came in. "Matt, get ready, you might be the first."

"No problem!" Matt Damon shouted towards the door.

In the conference room that had been transformed into an audition room, Wayne sat alone behind Schwartz, watching his two assistants install cameras and flipping through the screened resumes.

There were a few vague acquaintances among them, and those who looked familiar to him were probably celebrities who would become famous in the future. One of the ID photos was recognized by him at a glance. Frank Grillo, the father Frank in Wolf Warrior 2.

There are many such examples. Almost every time I participate in an audition, I can see some familiar faces more or less.

"Jennifer Connelly, that's interesting. This woman doesn't lack for movies, does she?" Wayne looked at Schwartz and reached out to tap on the resume he had just pulled out. The experience in this industry can be called brilliant, such as "Troubled Times" released the year before last.

The casting director shrugged and said without hesitation: "Someone asked Bruce Rosenblum, and then he called me. If you don't like it, I will inform her agent tonight and cancel her." The audition is ready tomorrow."

"It doesn't matter, just keep it."

Relaxing back in the chair, Wayne folded his hands on his chest and thought about it carefully. Jennifer Connelly, who seemed to be in her early twenties, was so beautiful that she could bubble over, right?

"I have no problem here." Schwartz saw his assistant nodded to him, raised his wrist and glanced at the time, turned to him and said, "Shall we start then?"

"ok."

Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the audition room, and Matt Damon was the first to walk in. The layout of this audition room is no different from other crews. However, he still noticed something strange. There was only Wayne behind the casting director, but there was no producer position.

"Mr. Damon, there's no need to introduce yourself, I remember you." Before the casting director could speak, Wayne, who was rare, spoke first. "There's a scene here, and I need you to act it out, Schwartz, and you act as his actor."

This was an interesting start, but Li Kui bumped into Li Gui and took out a piece of printing paper that he had prepared long ago. He raised his hand and handed it to the other person. "Ready, ready to start."

The moment he saw the script, Matt Damon was shocked. On the short half-page printed paper, almost every line contained swear words. Just for this line, this film will also be an R-rated film. This kind of full It's hard to avoid being banned for 18-year-olds in a movie that sounds dirty!
