On the way back to the car, neither of them spoke at first. After a few minutes, Miranda finally said, "Chen, do you really want to add that one?"
After Chen Feng was silent for a while, he nodded and said: "Landa, I am doing this for your own good. Of course, it is also for us to maintain our relationship. For example, if a famous Hollywood director wants to ask you to make a movie
18-limited film, and this film is likely to be a hit. You may become a world-famous actor because of this film. So can you resist this temptation?"
Miranda couldn't answer at once. She could have said that she would refuse against her will. But if this kind of thing really happened and a famous director really asked him to make such a movie and she was the heroine, she would have to ask herself whether she could refuse.
?Obviously it's hard to say no.
She couldn't deceive herself on this matter.
Chen Feng saw her thoughts and continued: "So, with this clause, I can help you refuse. There are many opportunities to become famous. As an actress, although she can become famous quickly by selling her body and appearance, but
I don’t think this kind of fame will last long. This kind of thing has been proven before. Some 18-year-old movies can indeed make actresses famous quickly, and even become as famous as first-line actresses. If there are other qualities
If they are supported by excellent works, they can still be popular for a few years. But if not, it will only be one or two years at most. Hollywood and the entertainment industry are so realistic. As an actor, you want to stay popular and win fans.
Their love. The most important thing is to let the works speak for themselves.
Therefore, there is no need for you to take the shortcut of selling your looks. Because as an actress, you will eventually grow old. If you want to be in your thirties, or even your forties, and still be popular when you are fifty, just
You have to learn from Meryl. She relies entirely on her film work and is active in charity. She has won praise and popularity around the world. With Meryl's ready-made example and role model, you don't have to worry."
Miranda was finally convinced by Chen Feng. Although she also knew that Chen Feng was a bit macho in doing this, it was still for her own good and for the good of their relationship. Otherwise, if she acted in an intimate scene with another man,
Even sex scenes are intolerable to men. Men in both East and West are the same on this point.
Chen Feng left all the negotiations with ICM to Lared. He himself began to personally create Blainey's first album.
During this period, Brother Martian took the initiative to call him and ask him to hang out, but Chen Feng made excuses to refuse. In addition, there were also calls from some people he met at the last Oscar dinner, but these people, Chen Feng basically
He didn't pay much attention to it and dismissed it with a few words.
If there are other aspects that Chen Feng is concerned about, they are the two TV series produced by the company, "Lost" and "The Big Bang Theory."
The crew of "Lost" completed the project first, and everyone from directors to actors were selected one by one. At this point, Chen Feng did not interfere too much with the work of Laurent and Lisa.
Both of them agreed, and Chen Feng finally signed and asked the finance side to allocate funds. Chen Feng believed that as long as the director and actors are above the qualified level and follow this ready-made script, the film will not be a failure.
But Chen Feng was a lot more interested in "The Big Bang Theory". After all, this show has a greater and far-reaching influence. Therefore, Chen Feng had told Laurent before that the lead role in this show would have to be approved by him.
The company here spent several days selecting almost more than a hundred actors for interviews.
After the initial screening, most of the actors in the play have been confirmed. Only two starring roles have not been completely determined. One is Sheldon, the first male lead who Chen Feng had greeted Traun before.
This role, and the other one is the role of the heroine Penny. "Now Sheldon has two candidates to choose from, and Penny has three candidates to choose from. This is their information."
Chen Feng took the information Lisa told him and looked at it. This was the resume information of the five actors to be selected. Chen Feng looked through their photos one by one, but he did not find the Sheldon from the original time and space.
One of the three heroines to be chosen coincidentally is the actor from The Original Time and Space. In other words, the two of them look very similar.
"How many people came to interview for the role of Sheldon?"
Trelawen and Lisa were in charge of the previous interviews. Lisa was also familiar with this. After hearing this, she replied: "There were probably more than a hundred people at the beginning. You know, now we are beautiful
Jiaren Company is very famous. Therefore, many actors came to submit their resumes. In the end, we screened out more than 20 people and sent them interview notices. Now after the interview between me and Teralon, you are left with
These two."
"Do you still have the information of the more than 20 interviewees? Send me a copy."
"Yes. I will go back and pass it to you now."
The company has an intranet, and it was impossible for Lisa to print out all the more than 20 pieces of information, so she sent them to Chen Feng through an internal group.
Not long after, Chen Feng received the interviewer information from Lisa. He checked each person's photos one by one, and sure enough, he saw the familiar photo of Sheldon from the original time and space.
Chen Feng immediately notified Lisa and asked him to call this guy named Jim over and let him interview the other two candidates together.
Lisa did it without any specific reason.
At two o'clock that afternoon, Chen Feng interviewed these people in the company's conference room.
Of course, Lisa and Trauren are also together. Although the investment in "The Big Bang Theory" is much lower than that of "Lost", it is, after all, the second TV series to be fully invested in by Beauty Beauty Company since it took over. And it is
The two of them are personally responsible for it, so they are naturally very concerned about it and expressed their importance to this TV series.
Because there were three male protagonists and three female protagonists to be selected, Chen Feng decided to form a team for interviews directly. However, Chen Feng did not inform them before the interview. This would test the tacit understanding of the two team members.
The first people to come in were two actors from the original time and space, the male was named Jim and the female was named Kelly.
Before they came in for the interview, Lisa had already given them some lines from the script, which included three scenes. However, the preparation time was only half an hour.
There will definitely be some disadvantages if you come in first for the interview or audition. You may not have memorized all the lines for the three scenes, which is quite a test of one's ability to memorize lines.
After Kelly and Jim came in, they were obviously stunned when they saw Chen Feng sitting between Laurent and Lisa. They all had a certain background understanding of the Beauty Beauty Company before coming for the interview, and they recognized it at a glance.
Chen Feng’s identity.
Therefore, both of them became a little reserved and nervous. Neither of them were well-known actors at this time. Especially Jim, who had only acted in plays before. Kelly was slightly better, having filmed movies and TV series, among which
She also won a medium-sized award for her TV series, but that was a few years ago. It's not really an achievement.
Kelly nodded and smiled first, then said hello to the three of them: "Hello."
Jim was obviously not as friendly as her, so he forced a smile and nodded to the three of them.
Chen Feng did not be polite to them, just nodded, and then said: "Kelly, Jim, you will try out the second scene together first. I will give you one minute to prepare."
When the two of them came in together, they had thought about the possibility of a group audition. But they didn't expect it to happen, which caught them both off guard.
Kelly suddenly looked at Jim anxiously and whispered "What should I do?"
Jim calmed down a lot, and he immediately said to Kelly: "Don't be nervous. Close your eyes and take a deep breath."
Kelly did as she was told, immediately closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and her mood suddenly stabilized.
Jim didn't speak anymore, but he also closed his eyes, obviously recalling the lines.
"Okay, the time is up. You can start." Almost a minute later, Chen Feng reminded him.
Jim and Kelly looked at each other and nodded to each other.
"Can I start?" Kelly said her first line.
"Penny, you took my seat."
"Then sit next to me."
"No. I will only sit in that seat."
"What's the difference?"
"In winter, the distance between that location and the electric heater is just enough to keep people warm without being too close and causing sweating; in summer, it's just enough for the breeze to blow through, coming from this window and that one.
And the angle of sitting here to watch TV allows you to watch it directly without affecting the conversation, not too far away, and not causing excessive distortion of the neck..."
In fact, this scene mainly tests the male actor's skills. Because the heroine's actor has very few lines in this scene, and is basically used to set off the male actor.
And Jim really lived up to his name as "Sheldon". He read out that classic line without stopping, and everyone present was a little shocked. Even though Chen Feng had known it for a long time, but seeing his performance live
I was still a little shocked. He is indeed an actor who has won several Emmy Awards. This is where his strength lies.
After the performance, Chen Feng, Laurent and Lisa couldn't help but applaud.
Chen Feng said: "Jim, your performance is wonderful. If there are no accidents, the role of Sheldon will be yours. You can go out first, but don't leave right away. I might bother you to come in and join the scene."
"Thank you. Okay." Jim finally showed a relaxed smile at this time. After bowing and thanking him, he turned around and left.
"What about me?" Kelly looked at Chen Feng in confusion and pointed at herself.
Chen Feng smiled and said: "To be honest, your performance just now was just average, with no special highlights. Next, I will give you another chance. I will let the next group of people perform, and then let you start again with another actor.
Let's act together and see the effect. You go call the next group to come in and wait nearby."
"Okay." Kelly looked a little aggrieved, turned around and opened the door to call someone.
Soon the next pair of actors and actresses also came in. Chen Feng still asked them to perform the scene just now. As a result, the actor got tongue-tied when he read the long line, and then burst out laughing. The one who was involved
The actress couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Chen Feng originally had a crush on Kelly and Jim, so when he saw this, he immediately asked the two actors in this group to go back and wait for notification. These two also knew that they had messed up, but they were too stubborn to say anything to make up for it. After all, this was
In their opinion, this TV series is just a small production and not worthy of their humble request.
Seeing this, Kelly couldn't help but reveal a silly smile on her face. This was the classic Penny smile.
Chen Feng asked her to call the last group in again. This time Chen Feng chose another scene. The heroine had more lines.
This time, the male and female actors have a tacit understanding of each other, but the male's acting skills are also relatively good, and his lines are fluent, but obviously he is still a little worse than Jim, and maybe a little less charming, a kind of genius academic temperament.
, the female actor did a very good job, and she is also very beautiful and has a good figure. She is two years younger than Kelly, and from this point of view, she is more in line with the character in the script.
After their performance was over, Chen Feng asked the actor to go out first, leaving behind Kelly and the actress named Belle.
Both of them knew that the heroine of this drama was chosen from among them, and both looked a little nervous. "Here is a line. I give you five minutes to go out and prepare. Kelly, take a copy and give it to the guy I just talked to you about."
It’s Jim who’s going to play, let him make some preparations too.”
Chen Feng handed the three prepared line sheets to the two women. After the two women took the lines, they went out.
"I apologize in advance. I decided to eliminate Jim before. I thought his performance was a bit stiff at the time, but this time his performance was really good. I think he completely fits the role of Sheldon.
Let’s choose him.”
After the two actresses went out, Laurent admitted his fault and was very satisfied with Jim.
Lisa also said: "Boss, you are more discerning. Jim really fits the role of Sheldon, and I support choosing him. For the role of Penny, I prefer Belle. She is younger and more beautiful, and she was a child star.
, I also participated in a beauty pageant and won the third place in the state, and my acting skills are also above the passing line."
Trauren said: "I am more optimistic about Kelly. She has acted in movies and TV series before and won awards. Her personal appearance and temperament are more in line with Penny's setting. Although she may be worse than Belle in terms of acting skills.
Some, but if the character fits, I think it’s more important.”
Chen Feng finally decided: "Let them try it out one last time and see the effect."
Neither of them had an opinion.
Five minutes passed quickly, and Belle, Kelly and Jim all came in together.
Chen Feng first cast Belle and Jim this time, and the effect was actually very good. Finally, he cast Kelly and Jim. The same line, and the effect was also good. It was hard to tell the difference.
Chen Feng suddenly became a little confused. After hesitating for a while, Chen Feng asked them all to go back first and inform them after he made a decision.
Jim left happily, because it was basically confirmed that he would be the male protagonist. But Belle and Kelly felt a little uncomfortable.
