Chapter 346 (1/2)
The black Chrysler car turns into the widened four lane entrance of Malibu Danieli studio from California coastal highway No.1, and goes along the U-shaped asphalt road to the gate of the studio on the hillside. After checking, the guard waves to let it go.
Entering the park, an open parking lot first appears on the left side of the main road, extending to the South Cliff.
Less than a week after it was officially opened, the car park was already crowded with vehicles, which shows the busy degree of the studio.
The destination is on the top floor of the executive district. As Chrysler passes through the busy studio area, Hollywood actress Joanna Cassidy looks around curiously. To sum up, at least since her debut in the late 1960s, there has never been such a large movie city in Hollywood. On the contrary, many old movie cities have been sold and used for other purposes.
Only this point, the young man who created all this in just a few years is hard to be surpassed.
Thinking of Simon westero, Joanna Cassidy took her mind back and began to ponder the upcoming audition.
Joanna Cassidy came for the role of Diana Prince's mother, Queen Hippolyte, in wonder woman.
The casting of DC movie universe is the most eye-catching thing in Hollywood recently.
According to Hollywood media reports during this period, danielis entertainment first contacted Sigmund Weaver for this role.
Seagny Weaver has just given birth to a baby and plans to take a year off. This is not a big problem. The schedule of wonder woman is 1992, and it happens that filming will start next year. However, due to signi Weaver's refusal to sign multiple film contracts, high film remuneration and other additional conditions, danilisi entertainment directly chose to give up.
Joanna Cassidy has been in the circle for 20 years, but there are some sources, so she knows that Sigmund Weaver actually wants the role.
Seagny weaver, a 6-foot-tall actress, has successfully entered the front line with her ”alien” series and ”ghost catchers” series in recent years. However, due to her height, the stage is very narrow. Most of the time, she can only play supporting roles, and the film payment is not high. Even a few years ago, she was the sole supporter of ”alien 2”, which has a global box office of more than 100 million 》At that time, he was only paid $1 million.
The movie ”Wonder Woman” just needs tall actresses. The minimum height standard for Amazon female soldiers released by danelis entertainment is 5 feet 9 inches (175cm), which is just suitable for Sigmund Weaver.
The great success of ”Batman: the moment of war” and the grand idea of DC movie universe are enough to ensure that even the supporting actors in the series can get high popularity.
If she gets the role of Queen Hippolyte, Sigmund Weaver can not only consolidate her position in Hollywood in the next few years, but also avoid being overtaken by other similar female stars.
However, compared with the previous first-line stars, as long as they show their voice in acting, Hollywood studios will definitely give in to all kinds of situations. Denise entertainment has shown a more powerful style in the selection of DC movie universe series than in the era of blockbusters.
Seagny Weaver insisted that she would not let go of the long-term contract and other core conditions, and Denise entertainment simply chose to give up.
Joanna Cassidy can also understand why Denise entertainment does this.
The sequel development of many well-known Hollywood films is because the main contract can not be negotiated, and some reluctantly started sequel projects often lose popularity due to too long delay, and eventually lead to failure. DC movie universe is such a super series involving many films. If the sequel contracts of some actors can not be negotiated, the whole movie universe plan will be involved.
So the chance fell on Joanna Cassidy, the second tier actresses.
Joanna Cassidy is 45 years old. She made her debut in the late 1960s. She has also appeared in dozens of films and TV dramas of various types in recent years, but she has never been able to meet the opportunity of fire. Her most famous role is just Sora, the snake dancer in Ridley Scott's blade killer. In that film, her appearance time is less than five minutes.
The agent told her that the reason she got the audition for the role of Queen Hippolyte was that a young man appreciated her beating Harrison Ford in blade runner.
Yes, it was revealed by wonder woman casting director Linda Vargas in contact with her agent.
Linda Vargas used to be a small figure in Hollywood, but she was lucky to participate in Simon westero's first film ”Lola Run”. At that time, she was also a casting director, and then she was highly trusted. She has been the Royal casting director of many westero films, and now she is very popular in Hollywood.
However, Linda Vargas, who is speechless in her way of dealing with people, is very loyal to Simon westero, and people who want to get through her are basically unsuccessful.
That's probably why she became Simon westero's casting director.
Joanna Cassidy felt that she would do the same for herself.The longer you stay in Hollywood, the more deeply you will realize how difficult it is to climb up in this circle. Most people don't necessarily have a chance to get on the top in their life. Cassidy himself is such a typical example. Linda Vargas is obviously the kind of person who can hold on to opportunities.
It's just that westero appreciates beating Harrison Ford in blade runner.
This
It's not a hint, is it?
The young man's preference for women is well known throughout Hollywood.
Unconsciously, some of her thoughts were wrong, and even some expectations were generated in her heart. After her first marriage in the 1970s, she was single all the time. If we can really have something to do with that little man who makes countless Hollywood women greedy, it's really an irresistible thing.
With that in mind, Chrysler passed through the second floor office park and soon came to the top administrative district.
When you get off in the parking lot, you can see that there are several minimalist office buildings surrounded by glass curtain walls. Although the office buildings have different shapes, the overall layout gives you a very comfortable sense of order.
Used to the bungalows or small buildings of traditional studios, this modern office building gives people a refreshing feeling.
Joanna Cassidy walked to the five storey office building on the northernmost side, entered the hall, communicated with the reception desk, and was soon taken to the third floor. Linda WAGGS was already waiting for her, and the other two actresses who would also take part in the audition had arrived ahead of time.
Everyone said hello warmly on the surface and was taken to the dressing room to make up and change clothes.
The auditions for such important supporting roles as Queen Hippolyte are very small. Now the three are the last three candidates and need to wear makeup.
I arrived at the studio at 9 a.m. and had been busy for an hour. Joanna Cassidy and two other actresses finished dressing up. Martin Campbell, the director of wonder woman, who has been confirmed publicly, has arrived, as well as several other behind the scenes creators of the film.
Then it took more than half an hour to take photos, and finally the crowd came to a blue screen audition room downstairs.
After a short wait, at 11 o'clock sharp, Simon westero finally appeared and went forward to chat with the three actresses. Then he began to audition.
The three female candidates have been carefully selected, and there is no doubt about their basic performance skills. Simon wants to see their performance ability in virtual environment while meeting the three in person.
DC movie universe series will use a lot of virtual shooting technology. In order to improve these, a studio has been specially set up in the studio park for the team of Denise special effects to carry out various types of virtual shooting experiments in real time.
