I raised my head and looked at the hall in front of me. It was spacious, bright, tall and transparent. The dark blue tone seemed calm and atmospheric. I couldn't find any movie posters or actor photos in my sight. It didn't look like a film production company at all, but more like It is a business building. However, this is only the first time that Lanly has visited a film company. There is no reference standard, only a fixed impression in his mind. Perhaps, all film production companies in Hollywood are like this.

"Mr. Hall? The meeting room you reserved is on the sixth floor, No. 6014. This is your temporary pass." The receptionist at the front desk said politely, and then handed out three certificates, and Nathan stepped forward to take it. At last, he smiled and nodded, "I wish all the best."

Lan Li received his jaw politely and responded; Nathan handed out the ID to Lan Li and Roy, and the three of them walked towards the entrance gate next to him. "Is the audition of the big company conducted at the headquarters? I. I thought I would choose a theater or a studio office." Lan Li asked curiously.

"Not necessarily." As a former agent, Roy knows this well. "Most ordinary productions will choose to be in theaters or studios, especially the studios, where there are rooms dedicated to auditions. However, there are some special projects. Or auditions for top actors are also held at the headquarters."

"So Lan Li is a special treatment?" Nathan's expression was a little excited, this is Warner Bros. Since the millennium, Hollywood has been the top spot in the box office for five years in ten years. In the past three years, Successfully achieved three consecutive championships, the performance is absolutely strong.

By the way, for the remaining five years, Disney won twice, Sony Columbia won twice, and Paramount won once.

Lan Li and Roy exchanged glances, and smiles appeared in their eyes. Obviously, neither of them thinks this is a special treatment. Judging from the information provided by Andy before, it is more likely that the "Edge of Tomorrow" still has no core producer, and Tim Lewis does not have enough words. Quan did not even determine the casting director, so he chose Warner Bros. headquarters for the first round of auditions.

Today, Lanly visited the Warner Bros. headquarters in New York specifically to participate in the audition for "Edge of Tomorrow". It has to be said that Andy is a resolute and strong-handed agent. It was only two days after Lan Li got the "Edge of Tomorrow" script and asked Andy to start operations, and the audition opportunity had already arrived. . Such efficiency is really admirable.

It's just that everything is unknown now. What does today’s audition really mean? What is the attitude of Warner Bros.? Has the project progressed? How was the audition? What is the purpose of the audition? What kind of situation will the audition take? What are the requirements for performance content? Is the continuity of the script important?

All of this information is unknown. If nothing else, today is only the first round of auditions, and there will be more auditions in the future.

Although Lan Li has already participated in "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5", the previous situation was rather special. It was only an audition round, and he faced the interview mirror one-on-one. The rest was left to Andy. The whole process is concise and clear, and it is not a typical super-blockbuster cooperation model.

Strictly speaking, "Edge of Tomorrow" is the first time that Renly has participated in the top production of the six major film companies from the beginning, and it is aimed at the position of the male lead. The entire audition process is a new challenge.

Lanly had heard that Chris Hemsworth had gone through four rounds of auditions before becoming Thor. Of course, the audition process is bound to be different for newcomers and second-line actors and top actors. But I don't know what the audition for "Edge of Tomorrow" will be this time.

"Well, we are at Warner Bros. headquarters right now. From this perspective, that's right." Roy replied solemnly. Nathan has blind faith in Lan Li. From a certain perspective, this is a good thing. . Looking down at his watch, "Nathan, what time is our plane in the afternoon?"

"Three forty-five." Nathan is in charge of booking the air tickets, so remember very clearly, "Today is Tuesday, but at noon, there will still be more vehicles on the highway to the airport. Therefore, we had better be able to finish before 11 o'clock. Audition."

In the afternoon, Lan Li must take a flight to Toronto to attend the film festival. "Love Is Crazy" will be officially screened tomorrow night. This itinerary was determined when Lan Li was on vacation, and the audition for "Edge of Tomorrow" was a temporary addition to the itinerary. Fortunately, the air ticket that Nathan had previously booked was in the afternoon, which was originally reserved for Lan Li to sleep in , Now it's left to the crew to audition.

Obviously, to take advantage of the time difference and use this precious gap to let Renly talk to the "Edge of Tomorrow" in time before the Toronto Film Festival. All of these are decisions made after Andy's careful consideration. It can be seen that Andy has now started a new round of operations and planning.

It is less than half past nine, which is more than enough from a time perspective. However, the initiative of the audition is not in the hands of the actors, and today's audition situation is unknown, so it is still necessary to act on the spot. That's why Roy asked.

Before speaking, the three people had already reached the sixth floor. There are crowds of people when there is no public audition, but it is not the few simplified auditions you imagined. The entire corridor is empty, and there is no one waiting in line. It is so quiet that the sound of the elevator opening is like a Hong Zhong, echoing in the corridor. With.

"Is this... normal?" Nathan looked around the empty and quiet corridor, which looked like an office building of a top listed company, cold and solemn, not even angry. Such an environment is most suitable for shooting horror ghost movies, just like the long corridor in "The Shining".

Roy hesitated a little too, but then he thought about it, "Maybe, today is a one-on-one audition. At Andy's temporary appointment, Warner Bros. may have sent someone from the crew specifically for you to talk to you." After a pause, Roy added, "This is the treatment of top actors."

But Roy's tone was a little uncertain. Sure enough, Lan Li cast his sights, and both eyes showed suspicion. The reason is simple. Lan Li is not a top actor now. He is not arrogant, but seeking truth from facts. So, why did Warner Bros. make such a gesture? Could it be said that they have no hope for the "edge of tomorrow"? Is the situation worse than Andy imagined?

Nathan had already walked out to explore, looked at the door numbers of each room, then turned around, shook his head at Lanly and Roy, pointed in the opposite direction, and signaled that Room 6014 was on the other side.

Lan Li stepped forward, looking for their destination room. Suddenly, the door of the escape stairs next to it was pushed open heavily. The dull and harsh sound echoed throughout the corridor. Reflexively, Lan Li just Turned around, looked over, and then saw a short and chubby black woman.

This is not a discriminatory negative adjective, but seeking truth from facts. She is not taller than Lanli’s chest, but the width of her body is almost two and a half Lanli, with a typical pear-shaped figure, with her hips controlling the center of gravity of the entire body. She is unhappy when she walks, but she is shaking; she is a beautiful woman with a delicate and neat dreadlocks, well-matched jewelry, and rich but meticulous makeup. Every detail can be seen.

She pushed the door and walked in. She raised her eyes to look at Lan Li and the others. There was no special expression on her face. She just said hello casually, "Morning." To Lan Li’s polite response, she didn’t respond, and just walked straight ahead. , Pushed open the door of one of the rooms, without turning his head, directly raised his voice and said, "Mr. Hall? Please come to this room."

The voice was cold, but the basic etiquette was maintained. Could this be the interviewer today?

"Lucinda-Syson." Roy nodded slightly and said a name, "It seems that Andy has not been idle for the past two days. It is estimated that the progress of the project is progressing. "

Lan Li didn't ask too much, just nodded meaningfully. It can be guessed that this interviewer probably has some background. Two days ago, "Edge of Tomorrow" was still the project of Tim Lewis as a polished commander. Andy met three times ~www.novelhall.com~ The target was different; now, the interviewer has a guy with a name. , The progress is very obvious.

The audition started so quickly, without warning. But this is not difficult for Renly. Before the "Pacific War", he submitted a lot of resumes. Although he did not win the audition opportunity, he watched a lot of auditions on Broadway and knew the whole process. What's more, the current Lan Li cannot be said to have experienced many battles, but he is no longer ignorant.

There was no brewing, no hesitation, Lan Li took a straight step, walked to the door of the room and took a look at it. It was No. 6014, so he waved to Roy and Nathan and went straight in.

"Come on!" Nathan only had time to squeeze his fists and yelled in a low voice, and then the door to the room was closed. This made Nathan nervous, "Roy, is this audition process normal?"

"That's right." Roy said ambiguously, "but what is certain is that Renly can definitely handle it. Maybe, after an audition, the decision will be made?" Although they are joking, Roy and Nathan are both. Everyone chuckled lightly.

In Hollywood, casting directors are a very special position. They all have a pair of sharp eyes. There are almost 600,000 registered actors in Hollywood, but many casting directors have viewed actors far more than this number. . They are not only good at digging out the shining points of actors, but also have their own deep understanding of director preferences, character styles, commercial potential, Hollywood models, and so on.

As everyone knows, correct casting can add a lot of color to the movie, and the chemical reaction between actors is even more important; and a little deviation in casting may lead to a complete destruction of a project. Top casting directors, they are also very popular. Lucinda Nishimatsu is a top casting director.
