Quinn Bai really didn't expect that Liv Tyler would come to audition. It was also his fault that he had been focusing on the script of "Good Will Hunting". He and Ben didn't have time to read the casting list sent by the butler William.

Open it and take a look...what a guy!

It turned out that I was directly dropped into the final round. No wonder I hadn’t heard Chris and the others mention Liv Tyler’s name before.

But it makes sense to think about it. The heroine of "American Psycho", Patrick Bateman's secretary, actually doesn't have many roles in the whole movie, and she is a stereotypical blonde dumb girl.

After all, Liv Tyler is an "old actress" who has served as the heroine in three movies. Even though one film failed, one was restricted from screening, and one has not yet been released, it can still be proved that she was condescending to play this role.

, whichever company she changes to will also give her an opportunity to airborne.

By the way, Tobey Maguire also participated in the teen comedy movie that Liv Tyler rejected, but he soon withdrew from the crew due to his health condition due to alcoholism, and his name was also deleted from the cast list.

When the audition ended, the tall girl quietly raised her thumb and little finger towards Bai Quinn in a "Call Me" gesture before leaving.

Bai Quinn should be able to make this phone call. Bai Quinn was quite curious as to why Liv Tyler appeared here. Could it be that he was calling her just to remind himself?

Unfortunately, this action happened to be seen by Oliver Stone, and he was immediately laughed at by the old man, making everyone think that Liv Tyler was inserted into the heroine selection by Quinn, and there was something between the two...

The next two girls are both typical blonde girls, one is named Reese Witherspoon and the other is named Chloë Sevigny. It seems that Reese is more popular with the casting group.

Chris found an opportunity to quietly tell Quinn that Reese Witherspoon had just starred in the heroine of "Highway" produced by Oliver Stone.

No wonder you embarrassed me just now!

If Quinn really promised something to Liv Tyler, it wouldn't matter if Oliver Stone found out and made fun of her.

But this time he really didn't do anything, so the old man himself was the one with a dirty ass.

Thinking about it again, forget it, the biggest selling point of this movie is the old man Oliver Stone. If he wants this role, just give it to him. Anyway, he is working for himself to make money!

Bai Quinn thought of a word inexplicably: Ah Q spirit.

Even Quinn Bai didn't support Liv Tyler, so the competition for the heroine became unsuspicious, and Reese Witherspoon won.

Finally, we return to the unresolved issue of the male protagonist.

The supporters of Ewan McGregor's "Obi-Wan faction" are: Chris, Joe Drake, and the loyal butler William.

Fans of Tobey Maguire's "Spider-Man" are: Oliver Stone, the casting director, and representatives from distribution partner Warner Pictures.

Ben Affleck's "Batman" seems to have only Quinn fighting alone.

Of course, this is not a one-person-one-vote election, where everyone has different influence on the project.

For example, the casting director has no right to decide on the most important male lead, only the right to make suggestions. His role is to pick up those insignificant supporting roles. In front of the producers, management and big directors, he has no right to choose the male lead.

opinions have no influence.

On the other hand, Chris and Bai Quinn cannot ignore the opinions of partners and professionals, which will put the project at risk of failure before it even starts.

Running a film project is like driving a merchant ship across a stormy sea. Every position must work together to minimize the occurrence of accidents.

Bai Quinn realized that neither Chris nor Oliver Stone would support him, and Ben Affleck was definitely out. He originally supported Ben Affleck, but instead became the focus of competition between the two parties, who got his

Whoever supports it can seal the victory.

Since Oliver Stone had already received a director's salary of 2.5 million and designated his girl as the heroine, Bai Quinn felt that the director could not oppress the producer too much, so she supported Chris instead of helping him.

choice.

The final male lead in "American Psycho" is British actor Ewan McGregor.

After the audition meeting, Bai Quinn stopped the people at Widmark Image and left them to discuss the script of "Good Will Hunting" they had just received.

When Chris saw that Bai Quinn admired this script so much, and that Harvey, who had a vicious vision, was willing to spend a million to buy it, it was not bad at all, so he stopped worrying about it and threw the script to Joe Drake first.

After going to study, Bai Quinn began to discuss how to win this project.

"Can the director... Wes Anderson?"

"No, Wes is going to Paris after finishing the rough cut of "The Bad Guys". He made some money this time and said he is going to the art capital to recharge his batteries."

Bai Quinn has long thought about this young man. Regardless of his behavior of betraying his teammates and his increasingly serious obsessive-compulsive disorder, Weiss can be regarded as an all-round director.

"Who are you looking for? I heard from your description that those two boys are quite difficult to deal with. They have ruined three stalls. Harvey probably didn't want to break up with them and left it to us to train..."

He knows best how powerful Chris is. In fact, the biggest credit for being able to handle Oliver Stone belongs to his investor, Mr. Philip of the Gambino family, one of the five major mafia families in New York.

The second largest contribution is the director's salary of US$2.5 million.

Bai Quinn analyzed: "I have been thinking for a long time. Directors who can work well with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck should be around 40 or 50 years old in the Mesozoic era. They have a certain level but are not famous.

If you are big and have a good temper, I can ask CAA for a recommendation... preferably from a major, New York University..."

Chris answered: "Tisch Art Institute! I can ask Martin Scorsese...forget it, he is impossible. At most, he can help introduce one of his students..."

Indeed, it is too unrealistic to hire Martin Scorsese. With Lao Ma’s qualifications, if he is asked to take action, he will definitely demand the producer’s rights and other related benefits. Can Harvey let him go?

What Quinn and Chris didn't know was that "Good Will Hunting" would allow Widmark Image to get involved. One of the reasons was that Harvey was really too busy and didn't want the project to go awry. This was a stopgap measure.

.

Another main reason is that the brothers did not take him to play the "American Psycho" project, but went directly to Warner Bros.

Harvey is afraid that brothers Bai Quinn and Christopher will "change their minds"!

Simply use a project whose success or failure is difficult to determine as bait to hang Widmark's image.

If it succeeds, Miramax, which relies on Disney, which owns distribution channels, will still have the big head, and Widmark Image will just chew a bone.

Harvey's "gift of a man" was actually his hope to be more deeply bound to the image of Widmark on the same chariot.

Chris is also a newly emerging Italian producer. Not long ago, when he went to New York to hire Oliver Stone in person, he had also socialized in the New York film circle, and even invited Martin Scorsese to dinner, so he had a good relationship.

.

With an idea to solve the problem, the two went to the cafe at the door to meet Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, communicated their intention to cooperate, and then began to find a suitable director for them.

Bai Quinn still uses the old method. Since he is looking for someone from the Tisch Art Institute, it is always right to ask Said first.

Unexpectedly, Said actually provided a suitable candidate.

"I have a French female classmate who took a directing class with me... She is indeed very beautiful... This is not the point... Listen to me... Julie previously participated in a movie, a literary romance movie, and won the Berlin Film Festival

Silver Bear Award at the Film Festival... I happen to know the director of that movie, an independent director who is involved in the New York art circle... If you want to make that kind of grindy movie, you should go to him... his name is Richard Lam.

Clete, "Love Before Dawn"...I can help you connect..."

Chris also asked Martin Scorsese, and the old man recommended Noah Baumbach, a young director from New York, instead of the Coen brothers as Chris expected.

Chris knew that the old man was supporting the younger generation, but this Noah Baumbach was about the same age as Chris and had only directed one feature film.

It was definitely inappropriate to refuse directly. Martin Scorsese still had to give him face. Chris was very happy and secretly decided to make an excuse to reject this person as soon as possible.

Bai Quinn also went to Mike Coker and asked CAA to recommend a director who was in his forties or fifties and had some experience. Finally, CAA found Gus Van Sant.

In the end, to sum it up, both Richard Linklater and Gus Van Sant are pretty good.

Widmark Image will first contact them to understand their intentions and opinions on the script. In the end, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon will make the decision. Otherwise, if the two thorns and the director are not compatible, they may

If you want to cause trouble again, you are a repeat offender!

After finishing the casting work for "American Psycho", Bai Quinn had no free time at all and immediately got into the production of the record.

Make money, make money!
Chapter completed!
