Hollywood legendary director

There are three candidates for the heroine "Maggie".

In addition to Hilary Swank, there are Sandra Bullock and Ashley Judd.

The former is a contracted artist of a small agency. If Johnson is not well-connected, even the company's name is difficult to find. The latter two are both contracted artists of CAA.

Of course, CAA is the most resource-rich brokerage company in the Hollywood industry, and it has many actors under its umbrella. The two of them are just like that. They barely mingled with each other, and the value of even support was given up early.

Having been in the industry for so long, I haven't been popular yet, but compared to those pure newcomers whose dreams of actors have never been realized, it is much better.

This person needs comparison. If you don't compare, how can you know that you are actually okay?

For the dream of a star, there were so many people who came after him, and a few others got out.

Now I finally get the opportunity to say that the new film directed by Lehman wants to choose the heroine. This kind of good thing inexplicably falls on these three heads. Apart from joy, it is also treated with all-out efforts.

Just after noon, it was not one point yet, let alone the audition time was scheduled at three in the afternoon, and everyone was there.

Three actresses, you look at me, I look at you, sitting in the lounge, staring at each other.

They know very well in their hearts that there is only one opportunity, so are the rest not all competitors.

Unfortunately, how could it be that simple.

......

Rodrian Pictures has changed its name to Firefly Pictures for the first time.

Early in the morning, Johnson came to the company with a few boxing coaches and nutritional caregivers, and then a few actresses who were going to audition also came, each with their agent.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that Lehman entered the company on time.

Last night, he stayed up late to conceive the shots, so he got up very late.

"How is it? Are everyone here?" Lehman asked.

"It's all in the lounge." Johnson replied.

Lyman nodded, and took Thomas and Johnson to the place where the actors were staying.

Looking across the three of them, let's not say anything else, the images are all in line.

The facial lines are very tough.

The actors Johnson looked for were pretty good.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lyman." He said first.

"Good director."

The three actresses stood up one after another and responded politely.

"Let's do it then, you guys prepare for it, and you will try it alone later."

After speaking, he went out to sit in the cubicle again.

A few minutes later, the first to enter was Hilary Swank.

Lyman didn't worry about letting her perform, but asked a few questions.

"Have you been exposed to boxing?"

"No." The girl shook her head subconsciously.

"How much are you weighing now?"

"57 kilograms."

"Want to gain muscle?"

"willing."

"Ten kilograms?"

"Yes, I can accept it."

The lightweight is only 61.29 kg in theory, but Lehman wants the boxer to look like a welterweight body, so that it will look more intuitive and the effect of punching will be better.

"Then you go out first."

Hilary Swank pushed open the door of the audition cubicle in confusion.

The other two who were waiting for the audition saw her coming out so soon, and their expressions were not good. They thought that there was one less competitor, and they almost didn't laugh.

"next."

The firefly staff spoke.

Sandra Bullock took a few deep breaths, adjusted her state, opened the door of the lounge, and strode to the side.

In the temporary audition room, Lyman, Johnson, and Thomas were discussing the candidates just now, and there was a representative of the actors' union listening there, not daring to interrupt.He just came here to serve as a witness, and his right to speak was almost zero.Unless someone is treated unfairly, only those actors who have paid dues are he qualified to take care of them.

"The image is good, but a little thinner." Lehman said first.

"According to the union information, she won the Oscar actress," Thomas flipped through the file and continued: "And she is willing to gain muscle. There is still some time before shooting, so you can try."

"Johnson, what do you think?" Lyman asked.

"The acting skills are basic, but I haven't been exposed to boxing, and have no experience in performing related roles. Let's take a look." As a CAA person, he certainly wants to choose a CAA actor, but he doesn't interfere very much. In terms of decision-making, he is a smart man, and Lehman is very independent. What he said is the same as what he didn't say, which is very pleasant.

Next, it's Sandra Bullock's turn.

Lehman also asked a similar question, but this guy is too good in figure, and the thing is a bit prominent, he doesn't feel like a boxer, and I can't say that people who have been trained for a long time, the place seems to be free from the shackles, let alone, Boxing with the ball, I always feel that the picture is too unconventional.

The weight barely reached the standard to be lightweight, just a little more muscle, but compared to the previous one, it was a lot worse, but Lyman was willing to give her another chance.

In the same way, Ashley Judd is similar, and the three of them are not too bad in body shape and image.

Lehman called the three girls together again and made a direct request, "This movie must have been guessed by you just now. The heroine's template is a boxer."

"There will be two weeks to train for you. I have hired boxing coaches and dietitians on my side. They will be responsible for coaching you for a period of time to get your weight and muscles up."

"When the time comes, I will determine the candidate."

In this way, the three people left Firefly Pictures in a daze, without even touching the script, let alone knowing what the story is about.

However, the only thing they can know is that there is still some competition between them, which is a criterion related to casting.

Lehman really values ​​this movie, not how much money it can make, but purely like this kind of subject matter.

After returning home in the evening, I began to conceive the sub-shot script of "Million Dollar Baby".

This time, the viewing design is different from the previous ones. Because it is a period drama, Lehman intends to be retro and the lens effect should be a dark yellow.

Then when the "Maggie" injured the spine in the back, the light and shadow became more and more depressed, but the color was brighter, forming a certain contrast.

In addition to these thoughts, Lehman thinks a lot.

It also allowed Jerry Boyd to add a failed scene, not as smooth as the original, and then stopped abruptly.

It seems more layered, and it also makes the topic of "what's the use of hard work?" heavier.

It's similar to giving hope, being frustrated, catching up, falling into the abyss, refreshing, and making a firm choice.

Late at night, after drawing the last set of scene shots, Lyman stretched out and prepared to go to bed.

good night.
