75 Casting(1/2)

The master and apprentice acted separately, and Randy went to contact WCW's Eric Bishev. As an "old-timer" in the wrestling world, it was easy for Randy to meet Bishev.

After the two met, they actually didn't talk about anything actual. They just revealed Bai Quinn's intention to change jobs and waited for Bishev's quotation.

But the news reached Lao Mai's ears through some of Randy's old friends.

The tool of pressure, in addition to revealing to Lao Mai the information that Bai Quinn was in contact with WWF's rival WCW, also included Bai Quinn's first MTV that was about to be released.

The more popular Bai Quinn becomes, the greater the losses he will bring to WWF by changing jobs. I don’t know how long Lao Mai can endure it.

Bai Quinn's single "It's my life" is simply a model of MTV's saving money.

Since this song is the theme song of the movie "Bonnie and Frank", it uses a lot of movie footage.

Now that "Bonnie and Frank" has entered the video tape market, the launch of MTV can help increase the film's attention. The more viewers rent video tapes, the more money Wedmark Video will make, so Wedemark Video will also include licensing fees

All were waived.

However, using all movie clips seemed too insincere, so Bai Quinn added a wrestling performance to remind the audience of his identity as a wrestler. Bai Quinn also planned to constantly emphasize his origins as a wrestler during the release of the single.

The added clip used four high-speed cameras to film the scene where Bai Quinn used the "Fire Bb" bomb to throw.

These four pieces of high-speed slow-motion film will be handed over to a newly established digital special effects team, "Vita Digital". They will process the material into a panoramic rotating slow-motion film of more than 20 seconds. The reason for choosing

This New Zealand company does it for no other reason than to make money.

Originally, according to the MTV script, the temporary replacement Jericho's face was to be replaced by Randy's.

Randy has too many old injuries. If Bai Quinn throws him down with a bomb, he is very likely to be injured. The risk is too great.

Later, I found that the special effects processing time was too long and the cost-effectiveness was not high, so I gave up. I simply didn’t change the face and let Jericho appear.

Speaking of face-changing, Mike Cocker originally got Quinn to audition for the role of Nicolas Cage's younger brother in John Wu's movie "Face/Off."

Wait, that's a bit inaccurate. He is the younger brother of Nicolas Cage before the face change, a villain.

Due to the advantage of speaking Chinese, Bai Quinn won the favor of director John Wu and his friend producer Zhang, who is also from Hong Kong Island, during the audition. The two even proposed to modify his character settings and add some close-up characters.

Hand-to-hand combat scenes.

As a result, in the final round of auditions, the producers of "Face" preferred another young Italian, Alessandro Nivola.

He was a newcomer with no experience, and it seemed that John Wu and Producer Zhang did not have enough say.

So far, Bai Quinn has missed an opportunity to share the same frame with Nicolas Cage.

In early July, "Independence Day" swept the U.S. box office, taking in 50 million US dollars in its first weekend. It succeeded "The Island" starring Nicolas Cage, which ranked first at the box office in June, and became the highest-grossing movie in July.

On July 15, Universal Music finally released the MV for the first single "It's my life" by Quinn Bai's Fire Bb band. The radio station was simultaneously lifted from the ban and the single was released on the shelves.

Audiences who have watched movies or watched Bai Quinn's wrestling matches soon discovered that the lead singer of Fire Bb turned out to be Bai Quinn.

Those who have never watched movies or wrestling, and see a large number of movie plots and wrestling scenes on MTV, will naturally ask who the lead singer is. After all, "It's my life" is a pop rock song, and its quality is indeed excellent. It has not been released.

Before the single, it only had a sudden appearance in the movie, which generated a certain degree of popularity.

But what is even more surprising is that the first people who went to the record store to support Quinn were male and female middle school students who liked Sarah's role as "Buffy".

This is the song of "Buffy"'s boyfriend. "Buffy" also appeared on MTV. Buy, buy, buy...

Due to the popularity of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", Bai Quinn had to face the reality that Sarah is now more popular than him, and the heroine's youth campus drama is really popular.

Sarah was originally a child star. Like most child stars, she once encountered a transition crisis after adulthood. However, the advantage of a child star is that once the transformation is successful, she will be more popular than before.

Advertisers are the most sensitive group to fashion trends. Sarah has accepted endorsements from several brands, most of which are fast-moving consumer goods that require the image of young girls.

Burger King, who has worked with Sarah before and made her become a refused customer of McDonald's, seems to be interested in working with her again.

The first season of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is coming to an end, and Sarah has already received several new film offers.

No, as soon as Quinn came home from recording her second single at Universal Music's recording studio, she saw Sarah and her manager Liz Miller discussing work in the living room.

Seeing Quinn Bai, Sarah jumped up from the sofa and threw herself into the man's arms. In front of her manager, they kissed her profusely and spread enough dog food. Only then did she reveal the reason for being so excited.

"I received an audition invitation for an A-level production!"

"Which movie? The heroine?" Bai Quinn was happy for her girlfriend from the bottom of her heart.

""Batman and Robin" is a 160-million-dollar production, and I am the supporting actress, Batgirl!"

Female agent Liz Miller quickly corrected her, "It's just an audition invitation. There are many actresses vying for this role! In fact, we have other options..."

From Liz Miller's eyes and hesitant words, Bai Quinn guessed that Liz did not support Sarah's participation in this project.

"What are the other options?" Bai Quinn hugged Sarah and sat on the sofa, trying to participate in the previous discussion between the two.

But Sarah reached out and grabbed Bai Quinn's ears and said, "Did you forget again? You promised not to interfere with my work!"

Bai Quinn was a little embarrassed. The two had had a quarrel not long ago and made an agreement not to interfere with each other's work.

This also starts with the renewal of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".

Bai Quinn believes that Sarah and Whedon signed a contract for seven seasons of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" in one go, which is a short-sighted behavior that will tie themselves to one image and lose more opportunities.

After all, Sarah is still positioned as a youth idol, and her audience is mainly teenagers.

When the series first signed a contract with FOX, due to FOX's consistent conservative style, director and screenwriter Whedon had to make some changes to the plot of the first season to suit the tastes of FOX viewers.

Sarah's character, Buffy, fights ghosts, demons, and evil spirits. However, because the character is only 17 years old and is still underage, there can't be too sexy scenes, and the emotional line can only stop at a small ambiguity about mutual affection.

Bai Quinn has gone through the preparation work of two movies, and his way of thinking has become a producer's perspective.

In his opinion, "Buffy" is a standard teenage idol character. If the seven seasons are completed, unless Sarah takes off her clothes in a literary film, the stereotype that has been formed by the public will make the 25-year-old at that time

Sarah simply can't get roles suitable for her age.

But Sarah hopes to grab everything she can get her hands on first. It's useless to think so far ahead now. She still doesn't know what will happen in the future.

So the two had a quarrel, and after calming down, they agreed not to interfere in each other's work and career.

Now Sarah's words stopped Bai Quinn, who was eager to give some advice.

Liz Miller quickly said: "Sarah, let QB make suggestions. It's not you who makes the final decision."

Someone set up the steps, and the stubborn Sarah had no choice but to agree, saying: "The other role is the heroine, it is a science fiction movie, it is known as a big production, but in fact the main cost is in special effects, and the audition time is also conflicting..."

Liz added: "The movie is called "Starship Troopers". It is one of the science fiction novels in the "Heinlein Boys" series published in the 1950s. It was produced by Touchstone Pictures, a subsidiary of Disney, with a budget of 100 million, which is not much.

It’s true that they spend a lot of money on special effects, and they only invite young actors, and there are no stars who can carry the box office alone.”

Since Quinn has never activated the memory fragments about Sarah, he really doesn't know what role Sarah will play in the future, and this suggestion is not easy to give.

Sarah's attitude is very clear. "Batman and Robin" is a big production, cooperating with big-name stars. Even though she is only one of the supporting actresses, it is still very good.

Liz Miller may be worried that the competition in "Batman and Robin" will be too fierce, and hopes to choose a safer "Starship Troopers".

The first three installments of the Batman series received good reviews and box office. Although everyone knows that this installment of Batman has nothing to do with Tim Burton, who created the series, director Joe Schumacher still directed the third installment.

Director of "Batman Forever".

Hollywood believes in sequels. If it has the reputation of its predecessor, at least the sequel will not be a big hit.

Since "Starship Troopers" focuses on special effects, there may not be much room for actors to perform, and even the heroine may become a foil for the special effects.

Bai Quinn, who is familiar with Sarah's temperament, simply weighed the pros and cons and suggested that Sarah give "Batman and Robin" a try, and that she could first accumulate some qualifications and connections in big productions before she is fixed by the image of a youth idol.

.

Since he supported his girlfriend, Bai Quinn couldn't just talk about it verbally. He immediately called Harvey in front of Sarah and Liz Miller to inquire about the film and help find someone who could decide on the casting.

Key figures.

"Hi, QB, my little friend, I saw your MTV. Tell me honestly that you must share a portion of the proceeds from the video release of "Bonnie and Fraker". Did you come up with this method and use the song to record the video?

A wave of heat, Ang?"

Although Harvey was talking cheerfully, he still expressed his attitude of questioning guilt.

Bai Quinn had no choice but to explain that she was stingy and was using this as a stopgap measure to save MTV production costs.

After coaxing Harvey, the conversation finally got down to business.

"'Batman and Robin', I know about this project. Warner's big production this year, I still have a little canary I want to put into it...Wait a minute, you don't want to play Robin, do you?

Don't think about it, that role has reached the final round of auditions. They chose Chris O'Donnell, the guy who became famous with "Scent of a Woman", and you are much stronger than George Clooney.

, how can Robin be stronger than Batman!"

Bai Quinn quickly explained: "Harvey, it's not that I want to play Robin, but my girlfriend Sarah got an audition invitation for Batgirl..."

The other side fell into silence, and after more than ten seconds, Harvey spoke: "Our goals are not consistent, QB, I hope Uma Thurman gets Poison Ivy, but I understand the situation of Batgirl, and the casting is just a formality.

Someone at Warner had already locked in on that role, and even asked the screenwriter to change Batgirl from Inspector Gordon's adult daughter to Butler Alf's underage niece in order for a blond girl to play Batgirl."

The three people on the other side of the receiver all expressed disappointment, but Harvey changed the subject: "If you want to fight for it, I can introduce you to someone. He is one of ours. By coincidence, Xiaosha

The same goes for La, if he is willing to help, there is still hope."

An influential Jew on the crew is indeed good news.

Harvey told Bai Quinn to wait for news and hung up the phone.

Although there was still great uncertainty, Sarah still worked hard to repay Bai Quinn that night.

Everyone plays different roles in front of different people. One day, Quinn Bai was asking Harvey to help with the audition, but the next day, he was auditioning for someone else.
