Hollywood starts with animation

Casting scene of the movie "300 Spartan".

Zhuke, Kevin Fitch, and Zach Schneider were a little excited after a few rounds of sight glass. After all, many of the actors who came to the scene were famous guys, but at the same time they were a little worried.

Selection is difficult!

"Good guy, it's here for the leading actor, but there are many big names." Kevin Fitch said in surprise.

"Yes."

Director Zach echoed: "Keanu Reeves, tall and handsome, with a little exercise, he can definitely play the role of King Leonida. The key is that he is famous! "Dangerous Relationship", "Life and Death" , "Breaking Point" has achieved quite good box office around the world, if he can play King Leonida, it will add extra box office for us."

"Yes."

Kevin Fitch nodded in agreement.

For a while, both Zach focused on Zhuke.

Zach is the director, and Kevin is the second producer, but Zhuke is still in charge of the finalization of the hero and the main character of the film.

If Zhuke doesn't nod his head, no one can speak well!

"Ahem~"

Zhuke pondered for a while and said, "Keanu is famous, I know. I'm also sure that his body fits the role of King Leonida after some training. But..."

Speaking belongs to speaking. When you talk about the word "but", then the previous one is nothing.

Suddenly, Zach and two were excited.

"I don't deny that Keanu is very good, but he doesn't have the kind of kingly temperament in him. Fearless, brave, roar, roar, domineering and other key roles, Keanu is a bit out of the way. He is the kind of cool temperament Actor. He almost meant to play the king."

Zhuke explained patiently.

"Uh......."

Zach was taken aback, but still a little unwilling: "Boss, Keanu lacks the factors you mentioned, but I believe that under my guidance, these are not problems. Well, even if you can't achieve that kind of kingly demeanor, It’s okay."

As a director, who doesn't want to collaborate with famous actors?

MMP!

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke rolled his eyes immediately!

Zach of Dog Day, don’t I know that Keanu is famous!But precisely because of his reputation, the price is also high!

According to today's market, Keanu Reeves plays the leading role, and its price is at least 10 million US dollars, or even higher.Moreover, the brokerage company behind it might have to fight for him the corresponding box office share!

what?

You said Zhu Ke and Keanu are not friends?

Ha ha!

"Business is business, and friends are friends."

The two must not be confused.

Zhuke does not deny that Keanu is a very good actor. He has been getting along well after knowing him for more than a year, but he also deeply believes that he is not suitable for a role like King Leonida.

The role of King Leonida is the core of "Spartan 300 Warriors" and the soul of the whole film. Once the selection is biased, let alone increase the box office at that time, it might be worse. !

Therefore, being cautious is definitely not empty talk.

"Boss, Vigo Mortensen, what do you think?"

Zach once again suggested: "He is 1.8 meters tall with bare feet and has good muscle lines. He has also played a role in the "king" category. I think he can be the leading actor."

Huh?

Zhu Ke couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise.

Vigo Mortensen, of course Zhuke knew him.

You know, he will play the role of Aragorn in the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" in the future, and he is domineering.The popularity of its role was stupefied to suppress the protagonist of the Fellowship Team.

"Then what are we waiting for, whether it will work or not, let him look through the mirror and talk about it." Zhu Ke decided immediately.

........

Actor Vigo Mortensen walked into the sight glass.

At the moment, the three of Zhuke looked at Vigo Mortensen, whose 1.8-meter height and clear muscle lines were good, leaving Zhuke and others with a good impression.

"Mr. Mortensen, this is the script, you can play this paragraph." Zach said.

"Okay." Vigo Mortensen responded and began to read the script, brewing emotions.

Zhu Ke and the three were not in a hurry, and waited with interest.

10 minutes later!

The script that Zac gave to Vigo Mortensen was a scenario in which Sparta was in a desperate situation, when the Greeks and Acadians felt unable to defeat the Persian army and persuaded King Leonidas to retreat with them.

"This war is over!"

Zach said in an Akkadian tone.

Vigo Mortensen, oh no, from this moment on, he is King Leonidas!

He immediately yelled coldly: "Shut up! It will not end until I say that the war is over."

"We will be surrounded by the Persian ghost army, and the hot spring pass will fall. It is impossible for us to defeat Xerxes, they are too powerful!"

Zach continued to persuade.

King Leonida looked at the leader of the Arcadis with a disdainful gaze, turned to face the few Spartans, opened his arms, and shouted with all his strength: "Spartan warriors , Ready to fight honorably to the end!"

"glory?"

"You are crazy!"

"Where is the glory of fighting? You can only choose to retreat, surrender or die."

At this moment, the leader of the Akkadian looked at King Leonida with an idiotic look, and continued to persuade them to retreat together.

"Humph!"

King Leonida looked at him and snorted coldly: "The choice is simple for us, Akkadians! Spartan warriors will never back down! Spartan warriors will never surrender! Spread these words and let Every Greek knows the truth, let them find their conscience. Since you are here, just think about it."

After speaking, he turned to look at a group of Spartans.

The face was cold and full of smiles, which seemed extremely contradictory at this moment, but it was extremely reasonable.

Because he is the king of Spartans!

"Brothers, the Spartans will never back down, never surrender, this is the law of the Spartans!"

"According to the law of Sparta, we must fight for Sparta to the end!"

"Death is not a pity."

"A new era has arrived, an era of freedom has arrived!"

"The world will know about 300 Spartan warriors, defending freedom and fighting to the death. A hundred years later, a thousand years later, we will still be remembered by the world, and we will be recorded in history forever~!"

King Leonida looked at everyone present with a calm gaze, and suddenly roared again: "Prepare breakfast and eat a little bit for everyone. However, we will eat and drink in hell tonight~!"

The end of the play.

Happiness~!

Zhuke, Zach, and Kevin immediately applauded and expressed their approval.

"Vigo Mortensen, the hero is yours!"

Zhu Ke made a final decision on the spot, and did not say anything such as waiting for notice.

.......

In fact, when deciding to let Vigo Mortensen play the role of King Leonidas in "Spartan 300 Warriors", Zhuke had considered that the actor of this role in the original time and space history, Gerald · Butler, still come to play.

but!

Gerald Butler, who is only 27 years old now, is just a rookie who has just entered Hollywood for only two years, and his experience and abilities are not enough for this role.

After all, in the original time and space, "300 Spartan" was shot in 2005, not in 1998.

He is too tender now!

On the other hand, Vigo Mortensen is different. At the age of 40, he is at the peak of his life. His experience and acting skills are also at the peak, not to mention that he will play Aragorn in the future "Lord of the Rings Trilogy". But a very domineering person!
