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

Chapter 105 It's over, I was misunderstood

The same goes for Mr. Yuan Baye on the side, because the next person to audition is none other than Ryan Reynolds.

"Ryan Reynolds? Who is this guy? How could he be the third in line to audition?"

"Ben Stiller auditioned for the male lead in the first film. Could this guy named Ryan Reynolds also audition for the male lead?"

As Ryan Reynolds' name was called and he strode towards the audition room, everyone looked at him in unison and started talking quietly.

If there wasn't a problem with the order, they couldn't believe that this flamboyant guy who was doing aerobics in the corner could actually get the opportunity to audition for the leading role.

"Mike, this guy is also your client?"

Megan asked Mike curiously.Because she just noticed that Mike was talking to Ryan Reynolds.

As she asked, Annie and others not far away also pricked up their ears curiously.

"Yes, the one released last year, the school comedy "Dick" starring Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams, this guy played a supporting role with a few lines in it." Mike explained.

"Of course, he was able to get this audition opportunity because Wayne took a fancy to him."

"Well, it's the kind of actor that a screenwriter likes."

Seeing the strange expression on Megan's face, Mike quickly added.

While talking, Ryan Reynolds had already walked into the audition room and introduced himself to Susan, Nolan and others.

"I am Ryan Reynolds, born in 1976, Canadian, once starred in"

At this time, Ryan Reynolds didn't know whether he was really nervous or just acting. He had long lost his previous exaggeration and cheap temperament, and he looked a bit honest and honest.

But this made Nolan, the director, frown.

In his setting, the male protagonist Carlos in "Resident Evil 2" is a smart and capable elite warrior who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Ryan Reynolds's appearance is obviously inconsistent with his setting.

"It seems that we need to discuss with Susan about changing someone, but who should we find? The salary of the new leading actor must not be too high, otherwise Susan alone will definitely not agree."

Several names flashed through Nolan's head quickly, including his favorite Christian Bale.

However, he soon discovered that he had underestimated Ryan Reynolds and Wayne's vision.

As soon as the audition began, Ryan Reynolds, who was originally nervous and honest, immediately seemed like a different person. As soon as he entered the scene, his whole person exuded a cold and powerful aura, which was demonstrated by several Yuan Baye The fighting movements are also performed very neatly.

Although there is still a clear gap between him and those professional martial artists, as an ordinary actor, even from Yuan Baye's professional perspective, he is not bad.

By the time the 2-minute audition clip ended, Nolan's face already showed an expression of surprise.

In fact, although Ryan Reynolds' acting skills at this time are good, he is not yet better than Ben Stiller. It's just that he just played a little trick and deliberately showed a nervous and honest look. This will create a stronger contrast when the temperament changes.

As a director, Nolan naturally realized this very quickly.But it was a misunderstanding. Ryan Reynolds' performance did meet the standards in his mind, so he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​​​substituting.

"Okay, Mr. Reynolds, you can go out first. We will notify Mike of the results of your audition tonight at the latest."

Susan spoke at this time.

Although only Ryan Reynolds auditioned for the role of 'Carlos' this time, and Ryan Reynolds' performance has passed Nolan's standards, the process still needs to be followed, and at most it will shorten the time. Some.

Among all the actors in the entire cast this time, Charlize Theron is the only one who is eligible to sign a contract before auditioning.

However, in addition to being an actor, Ryan Reynolds also works part-time as a waiter in a bar. His ability to observe people's emotions is obviously not bad, so after leaving the audition room, he immediately clenched his fists in excitement, resisting the urge to dance, and quickly ran to Mike and gave him a big hug.

There was no way, among all the people, he only knew Mike.

But others don't think so.

Seeing Ryan Reynolds' excited expression as he hugged Mike tightly, everyone else couldn't help but have weird expressions on their faces.

"It turns out this guy is having an affair with Wayne Anderson's agent! It's no wonder."

As Wayne's agent, although Mike is not known to everyone in Hollywood, most of the people who came to audition still know about him.

So, poor Mike was misunderstood by them.

There were even a few brave guys who secretly came over and gave him their phone numbers, such as the guys who auditioned for the mercenaries in the first film.

"What's going on? Do these guys want to switch jobs to me?"

Mike looked at the note in his hand, and then at the guys who were still ogling him from a distance. He couldn't help but scratch the top of his bare head, feeling a little confused for a moment.

Next it was the turn of the two female secondary characters, Ada Wang and Valentine, to audition.

Nolan communicated with Susan in advance and knew that he only had the right to make suggestions and not make decisions on these two roles, so he originally did not intend to express his opinions easily.But he soon couldn't help but change his mind.

First up was Eva Green, who auditioned for Valentine.

Eva Green, who has a professional background and whose mother and aunt are both professional actors, must have no problem with her acting skills. In addition, she has many years of dance foundation. She can reproduce the movements demonstrated by Yuan Baye after only watching it twice. It's stylish.

Secondly, in terms of image, today Eva Green deliberately changed into a jacket, leather pants, and Martin boots. She also wore a lighter smoky eye makeup and red lips. There is only one word on her body - SA!

Nolan's original choice for 'Valentin' was Angelina Jolie or Penelope Cruz, but after watching Eva Green's audition, he suddenly felt that Eva Green was better than this. The two are more suitable for this role.

On a 88-point scale, he gave Angelina Jolie and Penélope Cruz about 85 and 90 points in his mind, while Eva Green almost got [-] points.
