Chapter Five Hundred and Twelfth [New Year Party, Touch Dreams]
When Sun Ye-jin saw the time when Teresa returned to China, she guessed that she was guilty. Last time the two chatted, Teresa also said that she liked Los Angeles and was unwilling to go back to Australia.
“The air here is so fresh and sweet, it looks extravagant. When I breathed my first breath of air outside the airport, I felt free.”
Then Teresa moved into a small apartment in the suburbs and ate the cheapest food to wait for the opportunity. If Liang Kun hadn't helped her, she would have to go back to Australia for a few months.
She leaned on Liang Kun and was grateful to Liang Kun, and showed it all on her face.
Son Ye-jin was not angry. When she met Teresa last time, she had a premonition that something might happen to the two of them. Teresa is a very attractive blonde girl with a good image and a bad personality.
It would be embarrassing to talk about Teresa, so Son Ye-jin simply didn't mention her. It would be great if she left, and it was a two-person world at home.
Liang Kun cooked in the evening, and the two had a big meal and practiced at night. The next day they stayed at home to play and started auditioning.
Son Ye-jin asked: "Will I meet director Spielberg then? He is so famous, I'm a little nervous. Has he promised me to play this role?"
"Don't be nervous, I basically have the final say in the audition, and the boss will not participate this time."
The name producer of Speeburg is to make the movie more popular and will not be too involved in many things like Laurie MacDonald.
Just look at how many films Spieburg is a producer. This year, there will be children's CG movie "Monster House", war movie "Flag of Fathers", and "Letters of Iwo Jima Family". Next year, the movie "The Fright of the Back Window" and "Transformers" starring Shia LaBeouf, as well as Liang Kun's "The Disappearing Love".
Next year, the boss will be the director and shoot the blockbuster "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4". If he cares about everything, he will be exhausted.
It is worth mentioning that Shia LaBeouf also has in "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4". This weak chicken made several blockbusters in a row, and there was no need for auditions. Liang Kun even suspected that he was Spieburg's illegitimate son.
When she heard that the role had been decided, Son Ye-jin breathed a sigh of relief. She had always worried that Liang Kun would not be the final word, and the producer asked others to use it. If Liang Kun insisted, offending others for her would affect her future.
In the eyes of Koreans, Hollywood is a great and sacred place. If they are allowed to play Japanese, they are willing to play. As long as Son Ye-jin plays this role, it will be a major breakthrough in his career. In the eyes of many Koreans, they are the "number one" in China.
Moreover, Liang Kun did not ask Tang Qi to invite her to perform, which made her feel very sweet.
The person responsible for determining the actors is Liang Kun and the actor director Sarah Adams of the film. This position is also called "casting director", and is one of the core positions of the crew.
This position is not a director who directs the actors, and is mainly responsible for organizing role selection auditions? Assist the director in selecting actors. They have a huge actor database and extensive network of acting agency companies. They also need to be responsible for the actor's labor contract and fee negotiations. A good casting director can bring the director the best actor he wants.
In excellent Hollywood movies? Not only does the protagonist's performance touch people's hearts? The supporting roles' acting skills are often smooth. Where did the hidden passers-by come from? Thanks to the casting director's knowledge of selecting and employing people.
Their job is not just about selecting people based on their faces. To ensure the smoothness of the plot and the coordination of style, casting directors need to read the script carefully, maintain communication with the director, and screen resumes according to the character requirements and organize auditions.
They need to have superb communication and negotiation skills, be able to manage various actors in the team, and often update the latest trends in the film and television industry. The casting director is the HR expert in the film crew, laying the tone for the initial artistic style of the film.
Liang Kun had a meal with Sarah before and communicated a lot. This 33-year-old woman is very professional? She knows more actors than Liang Kun, and the people she invites must be more reliable.
Sarah is not responsible for auditions for the heroine and the hero. The big names are all set up or there are only a few people competing. She won’t object to signing Son Ye-jin? Is this someone recommended by Liang Kun? The crew really needs a beautiful Asian actress.
Son Ye-jin celebrated the American New Year with Liang Kun in Los Angeles? New Year's Day in China.
Liang Kun was invited to attend a New Year star party, and after considering it, he took Son Ye-jin to go with him. The party was held in a mansion in Malibu, with a group of big-name actors and directors.
Isn't Malibu Marbury? It is a seaside city located in northwest Los Angeles. Many Los Angeles stars, rich people from all walks of life, own homes in Malibu. The prices of luxury houses here are generally over $10 million. Cheng Long also has a house in Malibu after selling his luxury house in Beverly Villa.
This is a private party, and journalists can't get in, which can ensure the privacy of celebrities.
Liang Kun met Leonardo DiCaprio again, and the two greeted each other and started chatting.
At this time, Son Ye-jin really felt that Liang Kun had already gained a position in Hollywood, not just gaining a foothold. Little Li Zi was very enthusiastic about chatting with him, saying that he was the most popular star, and liked his two movies and the roles he played.
"Laury said that your acting talent is higher than mine, and I also felt this way after watching "Escape Room". You performed so well, especially the details of your eyes. Are you really teaching yourself?"
"It's so awesome, I can't compare to you." Liang Kun smiled and said, "I watched "Blood Diamonds", which is very exciting. I'm sure you will definitely be nominated for the Oscar and Golden Globes this year, and you'll probably be elected as the Best Actor. You were nominated in 2004, and it should be your turn this time."
"Thank you, I hope so." Leonardo smiled, picked up the champagne and touched Liang Kun with a glass.
Liang Kun said what Leonardo likes to hear the most, and his goal is Oscars.
Leonardo estimated that "Blood Diamond" had a high chance of winning. Oscar judges like movies that reflect reality, and the box office was best not that high, and it seemed a bit commercial if the box office was high. It was difficult for those who were nominated for the first time. This is his second nomination for the best actor, which is also a big advantage.
Unfortunately, Liang Kun just said nice things. If there is no butterfly effect, Leonardo will still run with him this time.
The winner was the black actor Forest Whitaker Forest played the role of Ugandan President "Andy Aiming" who was a kind father in front of his family and a tyrant in front of his people in "The Last Dictator", becoming the fourth black male actor to win the award.
He also made a touching speech about winning, which became a classic at the award ceremony.
"A kid from Eastern Texas, who grew up in Carlson in South Central Los Angeles was able to do this. He believed in his dreams, devoted himself to it, touched the dream..." You can imagine the hardships of a black actor from a supporting actor to an Oscar winner.
Little Lizi was moved in tears in the audience. The cameraman photographed him, and his eyes were full of drama. "Calm down, don't let them see it."
Liang Kun chats with many celebrities and leaves phone calls with each other. Some people are not famous and will become popular in the future. Some people are more popular now and will fade out of the big screen in the future.
Anne Hathaway and Liang Kun talk the most, and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. As long as she doesn’t laugh, she is a fairy. When she smiles, she will interpret what it means to "destroy everything with a smile", and her mouth will directly crack to the earlobe.
When Annie left, Son Ye-jin couldn't help laughing. "This person is so artificial and looks quite like a Korean. It turns out that there are such people in Hollywood."
"She wants to have more performance opportunities and meet more people, which is quite normal." Liang Kun said with a smile. He also felt that Annie was a bit artificial, which is one of her characteristics.
Anne has great ambitions and wants to win the Oscars. There is a red mission, but Liang Kun doesn't take it.
Everything she does seems to have been carefully planned and rehearsed in advance. "Anne Hathaway is so unreal", "Even drinking water and eating is like acting" is what most Americans say about Anne.
Unfortunately, she was in 1982, 24 years old like Liang Kun. If she was 7 or 8 years old, she would be very suitable to play the heroine Amy in "The Lost Love". She also wears a mask to behave, she will definitely have a film-winning performance.
Liang Kun also chatted with actress Amy Rosen for a while.
This is at its peak when he debuted. In 2000, he starred in the movie "Folk Collection" and was nominated for Best First Performance at the American Independence Spirit Award. In 2004, 18-year-old Rosen starred in blockbusters such as "The Day Afternoon" and "The Phantom of the Opera", and was nominated for Best Actress at the 2005 Golden Globe Awards.
She is pretty and has a good figure, but unfortunately she has poor acting skills.
In parallel worlds, her film selection is also very unreliable. After the failure of "The God of the Sea" in 2006, she took on another film "Dragon Ball" for two years, playing the heroine Bulma. Then she and "Wukong" went to the American version of the TV series "Shameless" and attracted people by relying on large scale.
Liang Kun did not take over Rosen's current task. No matter what movie it was, it would be a disaster for the heroine to have no acting skills. She always had a little stupid expression when acting, and she did not improve until she acted in "Shameless".
The two left their contact information, and when Luo Sen jumped to the point where there was no movie to shoot and put down his idol's burden, he might post a relatively simple red task. Liang Kun could consider pulling her and asking her to act in a movie.
Liang Kun and Luosen had a relatively pleasant chat. She studied ballet, cooking and equestrian since she was a child. She was a princess in modern fairy tales.
Son Ye-jin followed Liang Kun obediently at the party, and didn't talk to many people, just came out to see the world.
On January 3, the heroine of the movie confirmed Theron, and only Kate Winslet competed with her.
Kate's aura is not enough and it is not suitable for this character.
The problem with Theron is that he has too much aura and the male lead is easily overwhelmed by him. Liang Kun said that this is not a problem and played a role with Theron on the spot. Theron, who is 177CM tall, looks quite feminine when standing beside him.
When Theron has long hair, she is not as aggressive as cutting her hair short. In "Mad Max", she portrayed the movie as the crazy Theron because Tom Hardy only has 175CM...
