Meiyu: I don’t care about the cost when making movies

Chapter 104 Ben Stiller’s Discouragement

Even if you spend Christmas with your boyfriend, Wayne, you still have to go home during these seven days of vacation, right?After all, she is not as busy as Mia and Jessica. In addition to wandering around the set, she just stays in her room, receives emails and prints out materials.

Soon, Susan walked in with Nolan and Yuan Baye.

Needless to say, Nolan is both a screenwriter and a director, so he must be present at the audition in person.

Although Yuan Baye's identity is only an action director, this upgraded version of "Resident Evil" has heavy action scenes and has relatively high requirements on the actors' movements and body shape, so Susan also invited him to participate in the audition.

Seeing this, everyone stopped chatting.

Except for Charles Theron, who cannot be replaced, everyone including Eva Green and Zhang Ziyi began to brew their emotions, adjust their state, and prepare for the next audition.

"call!"

Mike breathed a long sigh of relief and hurried away. He glanced around and found a guy in the corner who exuded a mean temperament.

He was also preparing for the audition, but this guy was the most exaggerated, twisting his waist and kicking his legs, as if he was doing aerobics again.

Obviously, this person is Ryan Reynolds who was hit by a big pie falling from the sky and just transferred to Mike's name.

"What are you doing?" Mike looked at him twice and couldn't help asking.

"I'm warming up! Did you forget that the role I auditioned for is a mercenary? What if there is an action scene later?" Ryan Reynolds explained while continuing to do warm-up activities.That exaggerated appearance attracted frequent glances from others around him, as if they were playing BGM for him.

To be honest, if Nolan hadn't deleted the role of the funny guy in "Resident Evil 2", Ryan Reynolds would have been more suitable for this role.

"Crazy" Mike couldn't help but complain, and subconsciously moved his body slightly away from Ryan Reynolds to prevent the contagion of mental retardation.

But at this time, Ryan Reynolds twisted his body and came closer, lowered his voice and asked softly: "Are those all Mr. Anderson's women?"

"That's right." Mike frowned, glanced at him, and asked, "Don't you have a crush on one of them? I'm warning you, you'd better not do this."

"Don't worry, I'm not that crazy," Ryan Reynolds hurriedly said, "But Mr. Anderson must be so good at being able to handle so many women at the same time!"

Mike looked at him again, and after seeing that he was just a little envious and had no other thoughts, he withdrew his gaze again and said calmly: "More women are also a problem, so don't think too much about your small body~ "

In the past, he was also envious of Wayne for having so many top beauties with different styles, but since the last time he planned to challenge himself and called out two actresses from the San Fernando Valley next door, he completely gave up this idea. idea.

Although his current income can barely support him even if he has two lovers at the same time, his body is really unable to bear it.

Ryan Reynolds glanced vaguely at the top of Mike's head, and a look of sympathy flashed through his eyes.

This meant that Mike didn't notice his look, otherwise he would have given him a hard kick in the ass.

It didn't take long. About 10 minutes later, the audition officially began.

Ben Stiller, as the biggest name in the show, has precious time, so he was naturally the first to audition.

To be honest, he was very concerned about this audition.

Although his fame and influence have increased a lot due to the box office success of "Meet the Father-in-law".

But because he has always played straightforward and funny roles, his acting career has been somewhat fixed, so this audition can be considered a good breakthrough for him.Bracing himself, Ben Stiller strode towards the audition room.

However, this audition was really just a formality for him. There were no surprises or disappointments. Even if he showed all his abilities and performed with all his heart, Nolan on the judges' bench just kept his attitude. With a polite smile, his eyes did not waver at all.

This made Ben Stiller feel a little discouraged.

Of course, he is discouraged and it is impossible for him to give up the 1400 million US dollars in salary.

Even a superstar like Tom Hanks still values ​​remuneration, not to mention that he is still far from that level.

Next, we talked about Charlize Theron coming in to audition.

Unlike Ben Stiller, Charlize Theron doesn't care so much about not being recognized by Nolan for his acting skills.

People are like this. When they are not famous, they want to be famous. When they become famous, they want to pursue acting skills, awards, etc.

But throughout the whole process, most of them in Hollywood are still doing it for money.

Although according to the original trajectory, she will also create an Oscar statuette for herself later, but that is also to increase the salary and make more money.

Due to her long-term role as a vase, she has collaborated with many big names and served as many heroines, but her salary has not increased.

And at that time, she had reached her bottleneck as a vase.

Only after winning the Oscar and proving to everyone that she is not just a beauty, but also has great acting skills, can she get a longer salary.

But now she doesn't even need the blessing of an Oscar-winning actress. Wayne gives her a long salary for her films, and her thoughts about Oscars have become much less intense.

Of course, not caring does not mean that you are not serious.

What's more, she just doesn't care about Nolan's approval as a director, but she still cares about the audience's and Wayne's approval.

So throughout the whole process, she still kept her spirits up and showed all her strength.

As for Nolan, it was different from the formulaic polite smile when he faced Ben Stiller. The smile on his face was obviously much more enthusiastic.

After all, he's not stupid.

As the woman that Wayne values, Charlize Theron is the real heart of this series of movies, and he still knows this.

As a director, including the entire crew and the entire project, they only serve to promote Charlize Theron.So after Charlize Theron performed, he even praised her several times very "sincerely".

This is why Ben Stiller doesn't know, otherwise he would definitely be very depressed.

"Thank you!"

Charlize Theron politely thanked her with a charming smile, then turned and left the audition room.At this time, Nolan finally really cheered up.

Because he finally got to really make the call in the next audition.
