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

Chapter 109 The third female lead?Is this requirement too low?

Because at this time, she had already remembered what Eva Green said during the audition, about a girl who got a 1400 million movie from Wayne to produce the heroine as soon as she came on.

"It seems that the girl Eva Green was talking about is her."

Although there was a distance of more than ten meters, the brief glimpse just now allowed her to clearly see Martina's appearance.

I have to say that Martina is indeed very beautiful. Even if she is as proud as she is, she has to admit that Martina's appearance at this time is not inferior to her at all. Compared with Eva Green and Naomi Watts, Even more beautiful.

Coupled with the fact that he looked smaller than her, she immediately felt a huge pressure.

But then her eyes suddenly lit up and she thought of something.

"It seems that the "Dark Side" only has the first and second female leads, right? Then I can definitely compete for other roles! And Naomi's bitch wants to film "Resident Evil", there should be no one Will you rob me?"

Thinking of this, Annie immediately lost interest in shopping, hurriedly turned back to the room, picked up her mobile phone and dialed Wayne's number.

"The third female lead in "The Dark Side"?"

After a while, Wayne couldn't help but be stunned when he learned of Annie's purpose.

When he just heard Annie mention "The Dark Side", he thought that Annie wanted the first or second female lead in this movie, but he didn't expect that she only wanted a third female lead. This low requirement was completely beyond his reach. anticipation.

But it's no wonder, including the audition for "The Princess Diaries", Anne has failed three consecutive auditions.

This made her have serious doubts about her acting skills, and her mood was not as high as it was at the beginning.

She has no other job now. Being able to play the third female lead will at least give her one more chance to appear on the big screen and earn more money. Of course she has to fight for it.

"Isn't that okay?"

"No, of course." Listening to Anne's somewhat nervous and apprehensive voice, Wayne couldn't help but smile and agreed.

James Wan just finished writing the script and sent it over today. The role of the third female lead is almost the same as in the original version. She is "Veronica", a violinist in the band where the male protagonist "Adrian" belongs, and she had an affair with the male protagonist. , which led to the male protagonist's wife 'Belén' hiding in a secret room and disappearing in order to test whether the male protagonist still loved her, thus triggering this series of stories.

There are not many scenes in this role, and the performance is not difficult. As long as it is beautiful, it is enough, and it will be the same no matter who plays it.Since Anne took the initiative to ask for this role, he just didn't have to waste any more brain cells thinking about it.

"That's great!"

After hearing this, Annie breathed a long sigh of relief, thanked Wayne again, and then hung up the phone with satisfaction.

Wayne, on the other hand, was flipping through the script while continuing to think about the choice of the second male police officer 'Bernardo'.

Then he inexplicably thought of Clark Gregg, the actor who played 'Candide' Coulson.

Now Clark Gregg has been in the industry for 12 years and has participated in more than ten movies, but they are all small roles that are not well-known. His fame and salary are not as good as Willem Dafoe, but his acting skills are very good. Please invite him to star. This 'Bernardo' is definitely affordable.but
"All the intimate scenes that cannot use stand-ins or borrowed positions have been changed."

Wen Ziren on the other end of the phone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, I have already considered this and will not let others take advantage of your woman~"

After all, there has been a good cooperation, and James Wan still understands Wayne's thoughts very well.

"That's no problem. You and Sera can discuss the audition time. I just hope that the filming and production can be completed as quickly as possible."

"No problem. Didn't Matt Damon reply that he can sign the contract at any time? So I plan to audition tomorrow and officially start filming on the 2nd of next month. As long as everything goes well, the filming should be completed before the 15th. It can be completed before the 20th."

Wayne silently opened the system panel to confirm, and then agreed to Wen Ziren's plan.

Time quickly came to the next day, and the audition location was also at Hemera Films.

Although it is still the Christmas holiday, every actor who received the audition notice rushed here on time. Some even drove seven or eight hours overnight from other cities for this purpose.

However, compared to the "Resident Evil" audition two days ago, the scale of this "Dark Side" audition was obviously much smaller.

The biggest star among them is Matt Damon who plays the leading role of 'Adrian'.

Unfortunately, at this time, Matt Damon was far behind Ben Stiller in terms of fame and performance. Even though he had been nominated for an Oscar for the leading actor, he did not attract much attention from the audition actors present.

This made Matt Damon, who had deliberately dressed up before coming, feel heartbroken and couldn't hold back the smile on his face.

The agent who accompanied him seemed to know his character very well. When he saw this, he quickly reminded him in a low voice: "800 million! Think of that 800 million!"

Matt Damon took a deep breath, looked back at the three Martina people gathered together, and a humble smile appeared on his face again.

Although he has appeared in many works that have achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success in the past two years, such as "Good Will Hunting" with a global box office of US$2.25 million and "Game of Thrones" with a global box office of US$2.29 million.

But the two recently released movies, "Back to Glory" starring Will Smith and "Searching for Frost" starring Sean Connery, both suffered waterloos.

Even "Horse", currently in theaters, starring him and Penélope Cruz, is extremely poor at the box office.

The production cost was as high as 5700 million U.S. dollars, nearly four times that of "Girl Genius". However, according to the original historical trajectory, the global box office was only 1800 million U.S. dollars.

Today, the daily box office rankings are not as good as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" which has been released for almost a month. It can only be ranked fifth or sixth, which has greatly affected his salary.

After the release of "Genius" two years ago, his salary almost rose to 1200 million US dollars, but now it has declined instead of rising. After the box office failures of "Return to Glory" and "Finding Frost", it has dropped to 600 US dollars. Ten thousand dollars.

Watching "Horse" fail miserably at the box office will cause his salary to continue to decline.At this time, Hemera Pictures was willing to spend 800 million to film with him. How could he miss this opportunity?
