() If you want to make a film, you must first find a good director. Wang Zixuan is looking at these profiles on the table. All the resumes of directors who are interested in directing "Mean Girls" and "Cinderella" are here.
, Wang Zixuan wants to select two people from this pile of documents.
Fortunately, the directors of the two previous films, Mark Waters and Tommy O'Haven, also applied. Wang Zixuan decided to choose them for two reasons. First, since the two films in the previous life were
If they shoot it, they can do it well now; secondly, they are not very famous directors like Spielberg. Some decisions are mainly made at Xuanyuan Pictures. After all, famous directors are not easy to manage. These two
A director who is neither red nor green is just right.
In fact, the reason for not using those well-known directors is very simple. It is easier to recruit actors and other aspects. Xuanyuan Pictures has complete supervision rights. If the film is good, you can continue filming. If the film is not good, please get out. In addition, Wang Zixuan can also handle some plots.
Modify or delete it according to your own wishes. For example, the scene of Lindsay kissing is generally shot in Hollywood. However, although Wang Zixuan did not accept Lindsay, he still did not want to see her kissing someone else, so the kiss was misplaced.
.
After the two directors were selected, Xuanyuan Pictures notified them to officially start work and select the actors for the film together with Wang Zixuan. At the same time, Xuanyuan Pictures stated that Wang Zixuan had complete right to choose. To put it simply, all the actors selected by Wang Zixuan could pass the audition, and
The two directors can only give suggestions. Of course, they also have the right to choose their own actors, but when there is a dispute with Wang Zixuan's selection, they can only give up their choice. This is the benefit of ordinary directors, we make our own decisions.
Having said that, you can't disrespect the director's opinion too much. After all, you are still directing them to make a movie. First, Wang Zixuan and Mark began to screen the actors for "Mean Girls". Compared with "Magic Cinderella",
This film is even more outstanding. After all, most of the excitement of "Magic Cinderella" comes from the theme of equal emphasis on fantasy and innocence, and lacks the grasp of character creation and rich plot.
In order to facilitate interviews, Wang Zixuan and Mark directly set up a workspace for recruiting actors in a coffee shop near the Actors Guild. Of course, they had to pay a usage fee to the coffee owner.
When Wang Zixuan announced that the audition had begun, a large number of beautiful girls poured in, completely blocking the street where the cafe was located. There was no other way but to do this. Wang Zixuan looked at the queue of more than a hundred people and had a headache. He
But he didn't expect that his appeal would be so great, and the number of people was still gradually increasing. If he had known that he would have changed places, he didn't know if the police officers would cause trouble for him later. After all, the road was blocked.
"Haha, it's normal. Everyone values your script. The success of "The Terminal" has given them hope. Many girls and boys have a dream of becoming a star. They feel that they are only one step away from reaching that star.
The throne, and this ladder is an excellent film, but we must choose the actors carefully without any mercy, because this involves the quality of our future films..." Mark said with a smile.
Wang Zixuan nodded, waved to the owner of the coffee shop, and said: "Boss, it seems that you can't operate today, so we will take over the business here today, but you still have to supply coffee, you can go to Xuanyuan
The studio charges rental fees.”
"Okay, there's no problem. If you have money, anything can be easily solved..." the fat boss said with a smile.
After booking the entire cafe, Mark asked the staff to bring in all the actors who were auditioning, so as not to block the road.
"Okay, let's start. The first one is Celia Collins." Wang Zixuan looked at the resume in his hand and said...
A blond girl with freckles on her face walked up to Wang Zixuan and Mark and said: "Screenwriter Robert, Director Mark, hello. I am Celia Collins, from New York. I am currently studying in a private middle school. I am sixteen years old.
I want to audition for the role of Regina* George, the second female school beauty..."
"Okay, hello, Celia, do you have any acting experience before?" Mark asked.
"I have performed many roles in school plays. I am very confident in my performance. I believe that I can be good at any role..." Celia said confidently.
Wang Zixuan couldn't help but be stunned, I'm dizzy, do you believe you can do it? Can you still play any role? Can you be a little humble and feel good about yourself? Can you come up with something practical? And... by the way, your appearance is really not that good.
Of course, I'm not discriminating, but the second female lead should be pretty. Sorry, my script is fine, but if you don't care about the audience, where will my box office come from?
Mark nodded and said: "Then can you show off your acting skills? For example, when you know that the female lead Katie asked you to eat fattening chocolate, how would you express your anger?"
Celia nodded, opened her eyes wide, stared at Wang Zixuan and Mark fiercely, and deliberately let out a breathy sound from her nose...
Wang Zixuan couldn't help but shook his head and added something superfluous. The fierce expression before was good, but is it necessary for you to vent your anger? And the expression was too fake. It looked like it was deliberately shown. He also had stage experience. I fainted because he was in a supporting role.
Stage experience?
Mark was not very satisfied either. He coughed and said, "Miss Celia, you can go back and leave your contact information with the staff on the side and wait for notification."
Celia said excitedly: "Then I passed, that's great..."
Wang Zixuan couldn't help but beat his chest. I really admire you. Do you have a problem with your understanding? This way you passed. How can the people behind you still mess around? If you are asked to leave your contact information, it means that you have been eliminated.
, another meaning is that it needs to be tested, and it will be decided later, is your IQ low?
Mark coughed again and said: "No, no, we need to compare other auditionees before we can be sure. You need to wait for a while to get the news. Okay, you can go home and wait for our news...
"
"Oh, that's good, but I think you should choose me. After all, I am indeed very good. My live show just now was good..." Celia said, puffing out her flat chest.
I do! Several black lines appeared on the foreheads of Wang Zixuan and Mark. God, you are so amazing. You have created such people. Your mind is so "broad" and so "loving". I
She's done with it, can you make her more "humorous"?
Mark finally couldn't stand it anymore, waved to the staff next to him, and took Celia down.
"Second one, Kathy Betty, please come for an interview..." Wang Zixuan looked at the list in his hand and said, hoping that the second one would not be too "shocking".
This second girl is pretty, but her face always remains shy.
"Hello... I'm... I'm Cathy, please give me some... advice..." Cathy looked at Wang Zixuan shyly and said.
Mark frowned and said, "Hello, Casey, I'm Mark and I'm the director of this film. Are you uncomfortable? If not, please try to relax and believe in yourself. The world is fair.
Everyone has the right to choose, provided you have the courage to express yourself. Like the girl named Celia just now, although her information is not perfect, she has the courage to express herself, which is also a kind of success..."
Wang Zixuan nodded. Indeed, although the girl just now had some "IQ" problems, her courage to express herself made everyone know her style and characteristics, that is... she was not good at all. Even so, she still had the courage to express her thoughts.
It is a success.
Kathy nodded shyly and plucked up the courage to say, "Well, I understand. Hello, I'm Kathy. I'm seventeen years old. I live in Los Angeles. Please give me your advice."
"Hello Kathy, I'm Mark. Look, it's easy to express yourself. Don't be afraid to express yourself. Okay, now can you tell us about your relevant performance experience?" Mark nodded.
Casey thought for a while and said: "When I was a child, I played Snow White, Little Velvet Hat..."
Wang Zixuanxin said that it was indeed the case. Alas, except for the role of a lolita who is easily defeated by one push, she should not be able to play other roles. She should not be suitable for this film. After all, the girls in "Mean Girls" all have "
In terms of "personality", she only has shyness. Although she is handsome, her personality traits are definitely too far related.
Mark nodded: "Then can you show how proud you are? For example, how do you show your superiority to Katie, the bumpkin who just returned from Africa?"
Casey nodded, thought for a moment, then raised his little head and tried to look proud. His round little face was bulging into a little bun. He was not domineering at all, but he was perfectly cute.
Wang Zixuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Damn, little beauty, are you showing off your arrogance? Why is your cuteness so alluring? Isn't it so powerful?"
Mark waved his hand helplessly and said: "I think there is no suitable role for you, Kathy. You know, you are more cute but arrogant. If you want to play the role, unless you can change yourself, I
I think there are other videos suitable for you."
Casey pursed his lips in frustration, nodded, and said to Wang Zixuan: "I understand, can I make a request? I want a personal signature from Prince Robert. This is another reason why I came to the audition..."
Wang Zixuan nodded and said: "Okay, no problem, I'm happy to..."
"Thank you so much. Please write on it for the beautiful and lovely Miss Casey, and wish her happiness forever..." Casey blushed and put a delicate card into Wang Zixuan's hand. What was printed on the card was
Wang Zixuan's personal show.
Wang Zixuan quickly wrote blessings and his name on it, then hugged Casey and said, "Thank you for liking me and supporting me..."
Casey hugged Wang Zixuan's body tightly in excitement, and then let go after a while. He boldly kissed Wang Zixuan on the face, and then ran away with a blushing face...
"Haha, she really overcame her timidity this time. You're lucky..." Mark said to Wang Zixuan with a smile.
"Haha..." Wang Zixuan could only shake his head helplessly, unable to resist the fans' counterattack... (To be continued.)
