Chapter 1157 (1/2)

Malibu, daenerys studios.

Nicole Kidman and an assistant just got out of the car park in the movie city district, and Linda Vargas met them.

They hugged each other warmly. Linda and Nicole walked to the No.1 office building side by side and said, ”Nicole, I'm surprised that you can promise to play the role of Queen Galadriel. However, in my opinion, you are definitely the most suitable one. ”

”In fact, I think so too, Linda. Frankly, I combed other Hollywood actresses myself and found that there was no more suitable one than me. If I let them play badly, it would be like they played badly on me, so of course I would come by myself.”

”Oh, I can only say that you won't regret it in the future. You have to believe Simon's eyes. He spent 10 million dollars to buy the copyright of the Lord of the rings.”

”Of course.”

They said they had entered the office building.

Waiting for the elevator gap, Nicole asked, ”what is Simon doing now?”

”Coincidentally, about your granddaughter audition.”

Nicole responded immediately: ”Princess Arwen?”

”Yes,” Linda and Nicole walked into the elevator together, and then said, ”I can see that Simon is very hesitant about Princess Arwen's actor, and he's not sure which one to choose best, so he arranged an audition himself today.”

Nicole nodded in a mixed mood.

What they are discussing at this time is, of course, the selection of roles in the recent trilogy of the Lord of the rings.

In a word, the reason for the uproar is that Denise Entertainment's publicity campaign officially started.

At the end of last year, Peter Jackson completely completed the later stage of the ghost of terror. In fact, the Lord of the rings trilogy has been secretly approved. For more than half a year, Jackson has been working in Australia with his team to write scripts, make scenes, make demo animations, tackle key special effects and so on.

After all the preliminary work was completed and approved by Simon at the beginning of this month, the casting was officially launched.

China land fantasy series, which is comparable to journey to the west, has officially started casting, announcing that the film has entered the substantive production stage. Denise entertainment has also launched the first stage of publicity. After all, it is a trilogy series with huge investment. In order to ensure the success of the film to the greatest extent, it is necessary to continuously produce various topics to create momentum for the film before it is officially released.

And Nicole Kidman.

In the previous trilogy of the Lord of the rings, male characters such as Gandalf, Frodo and Prince Legolas are basically very successful, except Agent Smith. Even if you are not as handsome as Lee pace, you can't be too ugly, can you?

Therefore, in addition to Hugo Vivan, other male characters will basically use the original version.

As for the two important female roles, Kate Blanchett's Fairy Queen, galantrel, and liv Taylor's Princess Arwen, Simon plans to change them all.

Kate the devil is an actress Simon likes very much, but it's a pity that she lost in her face.

Simon has also delineated the new galantrel, Nicole Kidman, from a very early age.

Compared with Kate, Nicole, who was at the peak of her appearance in the 1990s, was just perfect for this role.

However, there are some problems this time.

Nicole has a lot of money now, and the commercial film's salary is basically $5 million.

If the trilogy is packaged according to the normal price, even if it is slightly discounted, the film pay will reach the level of tens of millions of dollars, which is obviously beyond the limit of the project.

After all, there are dozens of famous characters in the Lord of the rings series. Simon's strategy is to choose all the second and third tier actors, even the new ones.

Therefore, many important roles, such as Orlando Bloom, who plays the prince of the elves, and Viggo Mortensen, who plays the emperor Aragorn, will not have a fixed film payment in the negotiated agreement. Instead, they will only get a weekly salary like ordinary employees behind the scenes. Bloom, who used to be very popular, will only get $2000 a week in this agreement.

Such a casting strategy can ensure that the largest proportion of the budget is spent on the production of the film.

Why is the quality of the former ”Lord of the rings” trilogy so high, and the standard of special effects even difficult for many so-called special effects blockbusters twenty years later? There is no big name in the trilogy to participate in the performance and divide up the budget, which is precisely a key reason.

Simon wanted to give up Nicole at first, but later he let Linda test her.

I didn't show up in person. I have a clear attitude. I can do it or not.

Because Simon only gave us $5 million for the film, trilogy, and 5 million, and there was no sharing clause, this time it was impossible to promise the Oscar supporting actress as a replacement, just as it was in the shooting of ”secrets of Los Angeles”.

The average salary of more than $1.6 million is far lower than Nicole's value. However, if you accept it, Nicole is still the highest paid one in the Lord of the rings trilogy, and of course the coffee seat is also the highest.Nicole obviously hesitated, and didn't give a formal reply until half a month later.

I'm willing to play.

Simon didn't go deep into the girl's mental process, just arranged a make-up test today.

When they come to a floor specially set up for the Lord of the rings project, Nicole and Linda don't go directly to the dressing room. Instead, they come to an audition room and enter quietly. They are auditioning here.

Two women stood quietly behind several staff members, looking at a pair of men and women in ancient costume performing in the venue.

Obviously, the black haired girl who plays Princess Arwen is affectionate and comforting: ”your destiny is different from his.”

”But my body is flowing with the same blood as him,” the man said. He turned slowly with his back to Arwen's body and looked at her: ”we have the same weakness.”

Princess Arwen stepped forward, and in her consolation, she showed a kind of predictive tone: ”when that day comes, you will face the same evil, but you will overcome it.”

At this point, Arwen changed another language, and continued to whisper something like a prophecy.

Nicole looks at Linda suspiciously.

”This is the Elvish language specially designed by the crew, and you will learn it next. Besides, Princess Arwen is trying to cheer up Aragorn, who has been exiled. ”After explaining this, Linda said,” what do you think of them? ”

Nicole whispered, ”baby fat, it's obvious.”

Linda also smiles and looks at the girl named Charlize Theron. Although the information shows that she is 22 years old, it is true that the obvious baby fat has a great influence on her temperament. Princess Arwen's temperament is very important in her casting. In addition, with Linda's years of casting experience, this girl is not suitable for black hair, it will be a little cool.

Princess Arwen is a half elf with black hair.

The characteristics of the elves should be noble, elegant, intimate and dare not blaspheme.

Let's not talk about the baby fat that can be eliminated by some means in the future. Previously, Charlize Theron, who had seen the golden hair, had a first impression that he was in line with the temperament of an elf. However, today, with his black hair dyed and his make-up audition, he felt somewhat uncoordinated.

At the end of the play, Simon asked Charlize Theron to perform a part by himself. More than ten minutes had passed before he knew it. Finally, Simon and Peter Jackson, sitting in the middle of a row of long tables, didn't comment on anything. They just let them have a rest and murmur together.
