Chicago 1990

The last audition was Juliana Marguerite. Old Larry liked her very much. She was very good at acting and danced well. Compared to Ashley Judd, who appeared for the first time, after several rounds of auditions She is obviously more prepared for the role.

"I'm really older, and my voice is a little hoarse." After the audition, the casting director said: "Of course, she has no problem with her looks, beautiful enough, and she doesn't lack youthfulness."

"Ashley Judd is good in every way, but a bit expensive."

"The two who have no acting skills will not talk about it."

He talked eloquently, in a posture that only Amy met the standard, and listened to the people who didn't know the inside story.

Fixing him, coupled with the withdrawal of Charis Theron and Amy Acker, and the improvement shown by Amy Adams, made the pressure on Song Ya's shoulders suddenly disappear after the fourth round of auditions.

"Then Amy Adams?" Old Larry didn't bother to do it again.

"Isn't there still a final round of auditions?" the producer of Universal asked.

"For Ashley Judd and Amy Adams to enter the final round, the heroine of this movie can't pay more than 200,000 dollars in any case. This is a commercial film, not a word-of-mouth art film. Ashley Judd's agent It is impossible for people to accept that the girl just won the performance award, which is the key time to increase the value of commercial films.

The casting director gave an idea: "Of course, it's better to let Catherine say hello to Mr. Weinstein in advance."

"I'll call it." Song Adam immediately called Harvey Weinstein and told Ashley Judd to enter the final round of auditions, but the crew had decided to choose Amy Adams because of funding issues.

Harvey Weinstein readily expressed his understanding, "I heard that you just led a court rebellion?" he asked.

"No, this kind of rumors are too outrageous." Song Ya replied.

"Haha..." The other party laughed, "My news is very well informed aplus."

Song Ya also knows that the news about the transfer of Motula's position has been spread in the industry. The true inside story is certainly not known to many people, but he has played a key role, which cannot be hidden from a big man like Harvey Weinstein.

In a way, this is a good thing. Just like the Harlem nightclub shooting, those who are unreliable guessing can provide convenience for themselves. Until now, no gangster rapper dared to diss him, Motura’s. Things can also make Harvey and others take a high look at their own energy.

The crew quickly announced the duo who entered the final round, and then Ashley Judd's agent called and told her that she would not participate in the final round of auditions under the excuse of scheduling issues.

In this way, the heroine finally fell into Amy's hands, only to be officially announced after a while.

"Then the second male will decide Adam Sandra and the second female Taraji?" The casting director was relieved and began to communicate with other roles.

"Yes." Song Ya and Old Larry nodded.

Taraji’s acting skills have been unanimously affirmed. She basically did not worry Song Yaduo. She got this role by strength. Of course, the character setting of this role is the most flat among the main actors. She plays the heroine best friend and is the most lip-synched on stage. Just sing a song to complete the task.

"The heroine's ex-boyfriend will be finalized at the end of the year. Because of Amy's height and body shape, his original dance partner tends to choose thin boys. After the original dance partner has a leg injury, it is better to choose the candidate dance partner in that scene." The director added: "It's a bit difficult to find dancers who don't seem to be able to lift Amy."

Others laughed. The logic of this scene is the biggest obstacle to choosing Amy as the heroine. Now Amy is really the heroine. No matter how difficult it is, other actors must cooperate as much as possible under this premise.

"You worked so hard." Song Ya didn't mind speaking softly at the time.

"The only controversial issue is the choice of the second female boyfriend." The casting director took out two resumes and circulated them. "These two young African-American actors have their own supporters."

Song Ya casually glanced at it. There was an actor named Terrence Howard, 23 years old, 1.84 meters tall, and another named Jamie Fox.

In appearance, the older Jamie Fox looked much younger than Terrence Howard.

"This role is very pleasing, a music creator, and a bit of a wasteful character. He is the victim of the heroine's ex-boyfriend grabbing songs. After the movie is released, the audience will be regarded as aplus you refined from your personal real experience." Casting director Said: "African actors have few opportunities, so the competitors are very strong. The audition for this role has ended. Both of them have no problem with their acting skills, and their musical skills are also good."

"I have no opinion, anyone can." Song Ya shrugged indifferently, "Who do you want to choose?"

"Jamie Fox, after all, this character is a college student, so it's okay to find someone who looks younger." The casting director replied.

"And Terrence Howard entered the career as a special actor playing MJ's brother Jackie Jackson last year. Jackie Jackson was the most popular of the five Jackson brothers before MJ grew up. He appeared in your movie, maybe It will give the audience some associations that make them play." Yeremov also said: "After all, your debut song is recognized as imitating mj."

"Then Jamie Fox, who introduced him to audition." Song Ya asked.

"Es Cube." Yeremov replied: "Jamie Fox is an up-and-coming party host and talk show actor in the African American circle in Los Angeles. He played a small role in Robin Williams' movie last year."

"Yeah." Song Ya nodded in approval, "What about Terrence Howard?"

"Uh..." Yeremov didn't answer publicly, leaning over and saying in his ear: "Philby."

"The one in Philadelphia?" Song Ya was a little surprised.

"Yes, they have something to do with each other." Yeremov nodded.

Song Ya pondered, Philby was able to speak in Rolling Stone, and Escobe knew him very well, although the relationship between the two became more distant after the other's mv set than gd gestures to test him.

"That's Terrence Howard..."

It is more important to win Philby for the time being. After all, he can frequently speak in the mainstream music media, and he used to interact with Motula frequently. Song Ya is worried that he will start attacking himself in Rolling Stone...

As Cube called and said sorry, there were not many opportunities to please Philby. "What do you think?" he asked others.

"I can." Old Larry replied.

"I'm fine." The casting director didn't say much.

The others exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, two white middle-aged actresses who played the roles of the heroine's mother and the headmistress of the art school were successfully settled. The rest is to coordinate the salary schedule with all the selected actors, and it is not my business.

"Hey, Philby."

When leaving Universal Studios, Song Ya called the well-known music critic, "Did you recommend Terrence Howard?"

"Yes, how is he? Isn't his acting good?" Philby said, "and the music is not bad."

"Yes, he entered the final round of auditions." Song Ya replied: "But the opponent is also very strong."

"That's for my sake?" Philby smiled.

"Okay, just a word." After the other party's favor was obtained, Song Ya hung up with satisfaction.

"Yo! aplus!"

Suddenly I heard someone calling him from a distance. Old Mike and Marvota stood in front of him at the same time and took a closer look. Isn't it a big e?It was late, and the guy came over with a large group of followers, no wonder the old Mike was so nervous.

Song Ya didn't have any good impression of this person, "Hey, big e, why are you here?" he asked.

"Come to help a friend's movie guest star."

Spurned by former teammates Derry and Es Cube, Dae, who had already plummeted his reputation, swayed and approached, "Just right, let's talk?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Joint Propaganda, do you still plan to continue working with Derui? Sugnett from Death Row Records has created another set. He and the bragging father are getting closer and closer."

Dae had mentioned this before. After Sugnett used a gun to force him to terminate Derry's contract, his ruthless record situation was very difficult.

"I can't do it alone."

Like last time, Song Ya continued to perfuse.Sugonite is annoying, but Derry is creditworthy. He has to go to school and he doesn't gang up on rap circles. There is no good way for Sugonite to set up another joint propaganda lineup. What else?

Turning your head and hitting the line with Dae will immediately offend Derry and Escobe, and Dae is notorious as a collaborator, so you can think clearly about the choice.

"Don't pretend to be aplus, Chicago meeting ah? How long can you hide from the hip-hop circle..."

Dae babbled with his crunchy voice and persuaded him. This guy’s crippling energy was punctured by Sugernet’s robbing, but it did not prevent him from still holding the rap predecessor’s shelf. , With a large group of followers swarming around.

"Huh, follower?"

At the end of the group of attendants behind him, Song Ya saw a familiar face, who is not the lead singer of whereisthelove?!Much younger than in the original mv, but definitely not wrong, the guy is shrinking behind the crowd with his hands in his pockets, staring at himself intently.

"I said I felt a little familiar when I saw him appear in the mv. Yes, after the ama awards ceremony in early 1992, Dae took him to find me. I found nowhere to look for it. Haha! I was in vain looking for someone to ask about portraits..."
