Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 60: All-Star Class Configuration

Joe asked:

"how do you feel?"

Gu Bei heard Qiao's voice and turned to look at him: "Let's make a tentative decision first and then choose a few alternatives."

Joe nodded and took out Henry's information and saved it.

The three continued to watch the audition tape.

But after looking at all the remaining candidates, they could only reluctantly choose two alternatives.

"I think he's the best choice, even though he wasn't the casting director's first choice."

Joe looks at it from a producer's perspective.

Henry's commercial value is unquestionable.

Excellent appearance, and an epic drama coming soon.

If it weren't for the fact that he doesn't fit the image of the male lead, his qualifications would be completely suitable for the male lead.

But Gu Bei and the casting director both looked at the overall picture of the film. If they chose Henry, it would be difficult to find a male lead who matched him.

"First, let's see who will be the number one drummer."

Gu Bei wanted to see if there were any surprises in the audition tape.

Drummer number one is the male lead, and this choice is crucial.

But to Gu Bei's disappointment,

No surprises!

The casting director was very professional. If he didn't list Henry as his first choice, it was because there was no one who could match him.

Gu Bei put the male lead candidate they had chosen together with Henry's information and pushed it to Qiao.

"Do you think they're a good match?"

"Change him?"

Joe wants to throw away Henry's information.

"No!"

Gu Bei pressed Henry's information, "I need a better male lead!"

Are you kidding? None of the candidates for the male lead look familiar to him, and he wants to replace Henry. If all else fails, he might as well do it himself!
"Actually, I think..."

Antonio's voice caught Gu Bei's attention.

He looked at Antonio beside him and motioned him to continue.

"...That man outside, his image is quite suitable, but I'm not sure about his other qualities."

"Let him in!"

Only then did Gu Bei remember.

Joe did mention that an actor from London flew to New York for an audition.

Antonio came out of the room.

Soon, a slightly shy young man was brought in.

Andrew Garfield!
The Amazing Spider-Man of the future.

Sure enough, Spider-Man still can't avoid the boss of the Daily Bugle?
J.K. Simmons played the boss of the Daily Bugle in both the Toby and Marvel versions of Spider-Man, but the Amazing Spider-Man was missing.

Now I will give Andrew some extra lessons in advance.
Moreover, the perverted teacher Fletcher is a perverted version of the boss of the Daily Bugle.

"Hi everyone, my name is Andrew Garfield,

He started studying drama at A-level (British high school course) and began performing on stage after graduation.

In 2004, he won the Manchester Evening News Theatre Best Newcomer Award and last year he won the Evening Standard Theatre Awards' Outstanding Newcomer Award.

He has already appeared in a youth drama in the UK and will be appearing in this year's Doctor Who.

Andrew introduced himself honestly.

Although he is just the leading actor in an independent film, it is already a very good opportunity for Andrew now.

If he hadn't signed with a Hollywood agency and stayed in the London theater industry, he wouldn't even have gotten this opportunity.

Gu Bei looked at Andrew in front of him,

With naturally curly brown hair, he exudes an artistic temperament and youthful vitality. He looks several years younger than his actual age, which is just right for the appearance of the male protagonist, a college student.

"How tall are you?"

Gu Bei asked directly.

He wasn't actually worried about Andrew's acting skills.

In the future, an actor who can be nominated for an Oscar twice and win a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor,
Even if her acting skills weren't up to par right now, she still had the potential. Gu Bei was confident he could train her to perform to a passing standard.

Andrew's eyes lit up, he had a great chance.

Gu Bei glanced down at Henry's information. He was 185cm tall, not much different.

Moreover, in the early stage, the male protagonist was suppressed by the second drummer, which is more in line with the character image.

"Prepare for this performance. For the drumming, improvise according to your own level."

Gu Bei asked Antonio to set up the camera and prepare to shoot Andrew's audition tape.

After a while,
Gu Bei saw Andrew signaling to him and was ready.

He stood up and played along with Andrew.

"Da da da!"

Andrew played a drumbeat.

Gu Bei walked out from the darkness, the light on his face flickering.

With the blessing of the full-level actor skills, a perverted teacher Fletcher has emerged from his body.

"clatter!"

When Andrew saw Gu Bei, his hand couldn't help but tremble, and he hit the drumhead again with the retracted drumstick.

He didn't understand why this young Asian man in front of him, who might be the casting director or assistant director, could act so oppressively.

"do you know me?"

"know."

"Then why did you stop?"

After five minutes of play,
Andrew was already sweating profusely.

He felt that he could go back to school for further studies.

After Andrew left,

Joe was the first to express his opinion: "I think it's okay. It's much better than the previous ones!"

Gu Bei also nodded.

Next, it depends on the chemistry between Andrew and J.K. Simmons.

After a pause, Gu Bei said directly: "Don't look at drummer number three, I'll do it myself."

Originally, after working as a sound engineer, he had no plans to become an actor, as it was simply a thankless task for an Asian-looking person to break into Hollywood.

But who can refuse?

How about forming a trio with Garfield Spider and Heng Chao?
Counting J.K. Simmons, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor,
Four of the six main characters are already configurations that far exceed the budget of an independent film of 350 million US dollars!

or……

Gu Bei took out his cell phone.

There was a number there that he had saved from the Sundance Film Festival.

If the role of the protagonist's father could be played by Hannibal Anthony Hopkins,

Then this configuration can really be called a full-scale team!
As for the heroine?
The heroine, who only had five minutes of screen time, had been kicked out of the list of main characters by Gu Bei.

He thought about it and felt that the all-out class configuration was still too tempting.

So he made the call.

"Mr. Hopkins..."

After a brief chat,
Anthony asked Gu Bei to send him the script first.

The protagonist's father doesn't have many scenes.
But there is one extremely powerful part, which is at the end of the movie.

The protagonist's father was backstage between the curtains, watching the protagonist's obsessive performance.

A simple push shot, combined with a stand-up comedian's eye contact, is enough to create that kind of dramatic tension.

If it were Anthony's eye play,
Gu Bei really couldn’t imagine how explosive it would be!

"Click——"

At this moment, the office door was pushed open.

Liu Yifei poked her head in first and saw the four people inside: "Are you busy?"

"The auditions are over."

Gu Bei shook his head.

He saw Liu Yifei walk in impatiently, with her hands behind her back, deliberately hiding something.
