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

Chapter 110 Party Invitation from Harvey

Even if it wasn't for the salary, which was much higher than the market price, he definitely couldn't miss this opportunity to make a comeback.

This is another masterpiece from the up-and-coming horror film director James Wan, who has just achieved a super high box office with "Happy Death Day". It is also produced by Hemera Pictures, which has made three consecutive blockbusters. This opportunity is really important to him.

So when Serra and James Wan arrived at the scene and the audition officially began, he immediately got into the mood and showed his full ability.

I have to say that to be able to get an Oscar nomination, he does have something in terms of acting skills, and he is more than enough to play the leading role.

However, the audition for the heroine 'Fabianna' did not go so well.

Today's Martina's acting skills are indeed too immature, just like her age.In addition, I only got the character script at noon yesterday and only had half a day to prepare. Even though the heroine Fabiana did not have very high requirements for acting skills, James Wan reluctantly gave her a passing score.

"There are still four days until the filming starts. It's best for Mike to hire an acting teacher for her and give her a try on her acting skills."

After Martina left, James Wan couldn't help it anymore and turned to Sera in a low voice.

"Of course there's no problem with this. I'll notify Mike later." Sierra agreed happily, "In four days, I believe she should have made considerable progress."

"I hope so." Wen Ziren prayed silently in his heart.

Fortunately, all subsequent auditions went very smoothly.

Although the acting skills required for the second female lead, 'Beren', are relatively high, it is not difficult for Eva Green, who has a serious academic background.

Not to mention Clark Gregg's audition for the male lead 'Bernardo'. Once this guy puts on a suit, he looks like a policeman or an agent, and he plays his true self.

The remaining third female violinist 'Veronica', the third male band manager 'Tito', and the fourth female villa landlord 'Engels' are all small supporting roles with only a few lines and one or two minutes of scenes, and they are not very good at acting. There are no requirements, as long as the image is acceptable.

Anne and Mike carefully recruited two experienced actors who were more than capable of playing such a role, so the entire audition ended in less than two hours.

"Great! I finally passed the audition!"

After receiving the notice, Annie clenched her fists excitedly. The worries of failing three consecutive auditions were swept away, and she regained her confidence.

However, she has realized the importance of acting and has not relaxed. In addition to studying the script seriously, she has not fallen behind in the acting coaching classes.

This actually made her acting skills much better than at this time in her previous life.

Time flies to January 2001, 1. After a twelve-hour flight and nearly two months later, Wayne returns with Mia and Jessica, who are increasingly rosy and attractive. Los Angeles.

"Ah~~I'm finally back!" Jessica stretched her body for a long time, breathing in the warm and humid air of California, and sighed: "The weather in California is still comfortable, but it's so nice in Europe. cold!"

"Hell, I never want to shoot a movie during the Christmas holiday again! It only cost us nearly $100 million in extra salary in just four days."

Unlike Jessica, Mia, as a producer, is like a little money addict, still feeling distressed about the millions of dollars in extra "holiday overtime pay" she had to pay because she didn't stop working during the Christmas holiday. .This made Wayne very interesting.

But now he understands more and more why so many directors and actors in Hollywood like to find paper people as wives.

Soon the three of them sat back to Wayne Manor.

Although the hotels I stayed in during filming were all very high-end and comfortable, compared with my own house, they were definitely inferior both mentally and in terms of experience.

Of course, instead of enjoying the comfort of home, he is now more eager to go to Charlize Theron. After all, the crew of "Resident Evil" will officially start filming tomorrow, and Charlize Theron will definitely become busy by then. .

After all, there are a lot of action scenes in "Resident Evil". Fighting, wire-fighting, etc. are still very tiring.

But he had just finished taking a shower and was about to change clothes when the housekeeper Maida came over with seven or eight exquisite envelopes.

This butler was newly recruited while he was in Europe. He is one of the best graduates of the Netherlands International Butler Academy. His annual salary is as high as 50 US dollars. In this era, he is not inferior to ordinary listed company executives. However, after personally experiencing the service of an excellent British butler, he felt that 50 was really a good deal.

Even the 'money obsessed' Mia has no objections to her salary, which is enough to explain the problem.

"What is this?" Wayne picked up the top letter and asked curiously.

"It's an invitation to a party, sir." Maida said in a respectful tone. Her eyes fell on Wayne's handsome face, and she couldn't help but marvel in her heart. Then when she looked at Wayne's 'lazy and relaxed' standing posture, I couldn't help but sigh quietly in my heart.

When the master chooses a housekeeper, the housekeeper will also choose the master. At least before signing the contract, the two parties are no different from ordinary company employees. However, after signing the contract, as long as the master can pay the minimum salary, the housekeeper will be absolutely loyal.

That's why, as one of the most outstanding graduates of the prestigious Dutch International Butler Academy, she rejected so many invitations from wealthy people with assets exceeding one billion or even tens of billions, and chose Wayne.

Because in her opinion, Wayne is too good and has too much potential regardless of his image and temperament.

As a young person, rather than serving those established nobles, she hoped to cultivate a noble noble herself.

And based on Wayne's potential, she felt that under her training, Wayne would definitely be able to quickly grow into a qualified nobleman. His image and temperament would be nobler than those of the old nobles, and he could even be on par with the royal family of their country.

This sense of accomplishment is absolutely huge for a housekeeper.

However, after completing the signing and a few days of contact, she found that it seemed to be much more difficult to achieve this goal than she had expected.

Wayne didn't even think about becoming that kind of old aristocrat, he just thought about being comfortable.

She didn't quite understand it at first, but it wasn't until Wayne gave her an Iron Man comic that she finally understood Wayne's goal.

This made her mouth twitch and she was speechless.
