Chapter 811 The great director’s thoughts

Ye Ming's opponents are these two, Ken Takakura and Ken Watanabe, and Yan Yan, a Japanese national treasure. Agent Jenny came over and introduced: "Actually, this time Spielberg originally wanted to use all European and American actors in the movie [War of the Worlds], but the investors also considered the problem of the Asia-Pacific market, so Only then will a yellow character be added to it. This character is a partner of Tom Cruise. It will be of great help to Tom Cruise when he is looking for the Minority Report.

It can be said that he has very few roles, but he is a very crucial role. In Hollywood, this kind of role is called a familiar role. If you can take on this role, it will be very helpful for your development in Hollywood. The company also has very high expectations for you. "

Ye Ming thought for a moment and said, "What kind of role is Spielberg's? What kind of character does he want? Do you know this?"

Jenny relaxed her shoulders helplessly and said: "If you are talking about ordinary directors, then this kind of audition should tell the performers the problems of the characters, but Spielberg is a very stubborn person, he will not The investment for a movie like "Minority Report" that casually reveals such a character is also very large.

The collaboration between Spielberg and Tom Cruise, just from such a combination, you can imagine what kind of weight it will be. This is Hollywood's top team. According to my understanding, Spielberg has kicked away more than ten actors who auditioned just now. His assistant Robin also expressed the director's intention. If there are no suitable actors in Japan, it may not be necessary to look for them in China and South Korea. "

In fact, Jenny's agent was not clear at this time, because Spielberg was about to get angry, so Aita directly invited two big stars, Ken Takakura and Ken Watanabe, to come over.

At this moment, Robin walked out of it. It seemed that Robin and Jenny were very familiar. After the two hugged skillfully, Jenny introduced: "Ye Ming, this is our company's assistant director Robin, Luo Bin, this is our newly signed artist Ye Ming, needless to say why I brought him here, right?"

Needless to say, this goes without saying. Robin and Ye Ming are from the same company, so they naturally know everything about the company.

Therefore, at this moment, Robin said very happily: "Ye Ming, right? I like your [Jiangnan Style] very much. If your acting skills are half as good as your singing skills, then there will be no problem."

This is the advantage of people in his own company. The wealth does not go to outsiders. Robin is also very clear about this, so he is naturally more polite to Ye Ming.

Robin brought Ye Ming in and said, "The director lost his temper just now, thinking that some of the actors Japan was looking for were trying to fool him. At this time, Aida and the others seemed to be looking for Takakura Ken and Watanabe. The two Qians are gone. Please pay attention to this. That is to say, be careful about the challenges they face. Although Spielberg is from our company, he is a super director and has many privileges. , even the boss is relatively polite to him, so if you want to appear in his movie, you have to rely on your acting skills.

If he doesn't have enough acting skills, he won't nod, and the same goes for people in his own company. "

If the skills are the same under the same conditions, people from your own company will naturally be given priority. But if it is said that in such a situation, your acting skills do not even meet the director's requirements, then in such a situation, If it doesn't, it will become very tragic.

Therefore, in a matter like this, Ye Ming just takes a little more care than these Japanese artists.

To really get this role, it depends on your acting skills. In fact, this is also because Ye Ming is relatively lucky. If his first role in Hollywood can be said to be a big production jointly produced by Spielberg and Tom Cruise, it will also be very beneficial to Ye Ming's development in Hollywood. helpful.

Ye Ming nodded and said: "Don't worry, I understand this. Now I don't know anything about the director, and I have no impression of this character at all. So how can I explain this character in this situation? I I want to know what kind of cast Director Spielberg wants in this movie this time.”

Ye Ming didn't know what kind of role he was competing for, which was what made him most depressed.

If he knew the general situation of this character, then he would be mentally prepared at this time, but the problem now is that he doesn't know this.

Robin relaxed his shoulders and said happily: "I don't know the specific role or the momentum. I have told you and Jenny. People in my company will not hide it like that. Therefore, what I know is also so many.

The director knows exactly what kind of character he wants, but he doesn't say it himself. This is what makes us most depressed.

On-the-spot performance, the director's requirement is to perform on-the-spot, which is very demanding for an actor. Therefore, in a situation like this, you should be more careful.

The director has already driven away more than ten actors, and his temper is bad. In fact, the best way at this time is to wait and see, wait until Takakura Ken and Watanabe Ken arrive, and pass the interview. It's easier to go there later. "

Jenny immediately objected: "This is impossible. Takakura Ken and Watanabe Ken are both big stars and powerful actors in Japan. Therefore, they are a challenge to Ye Ming, a very big challenge. If It means that in such a situation, if we meet the director first, we may have a chance of victory. But if Takakura Ken and Watanabe Ken are asked to meet the director first, then if the director chooses What should I do if I get one of them?"

Jenny is also very clear about these two. At least these two are top stars in Japan. Therefore, the strength of these two is actually an undoubted result.

In such a matter, one of the things that the director thinks about is who is more suitable for his own movie. Jenny was worried about whether Ye Ming could compete with those two.

Ye Ming said disapprovingly: "There is no problem of waiting. Just go and take a look when you come? Are you able to influence Director Spielberg's decision? It's simply impossible. Even if I were one step ahead." When I meet the director, if there is a more suitable actor, he will also replace him. Even if I am the last actor to see him, as long as I can perform better than others, he will be the same. Use mine."

At this time, no matter it was Jenny or Robin, both of them stopped talking. Spielberg naturally could not be influenced by others. Naturally, he had the final say on what actors he wanted to use. Even investors were not qualified. Change.

The four top directors in Hollywood, this is their prerogative. Although Coppola hasn't made a new film for a long time, as long as he goes out to shoot a movie, he has the final say on the crew.

This is a right of top directors. When they arrived at the audition room, Spielberg and several assistants were talking about something. It seemed that his face was also full of dissatisfaction. Robin was right. He met more than a dozen actors, and no one was even slightly satisfied. No matter who it was, no one would be happy about it.

Robin introduced Ye Ming, and Spielberg began to pay attention to the young man who had just come in.

He didn't say what he asked Ye Ming to perform at all, but frowned and said: "Young, too young, Robin, you are giving me a difficult problem. You are younger than Tom Cruise, and you are qualified for such a job." A character in i?"

Directors must first think about the issue of their own roles. In such a matter, what they are really concerned about is the quality of their own movies.

Are you suitable for my role? Robin explained: "Director, although Mr. Ye is young, he is also a very good actor. The film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" he participated in has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Although he is young, in terms of acting skills, It’s still very good. Moreover, several major Hollywood film companies are interested in adapting the rights to [Infernal Affairs], which he starred in. [Infernal Affairs] is a movie that Mr. Coppola highly recommends.”

It seems that hearing Oscar and the name of his old friend Coppola at this time made Spielberg regain his interest in Ye Ming.

At this time, he looked at Ye Ming again and said: "Infernal Affairs, well, I have heard of it, it is said to be a good movie, okay, I will give you a chance, now you don't have any props, give a performance A scene of a CIA agent lying with dignity. And lying to your boss."

At this time, Ye Ming already had some idea of ​​what kind of actor Spielberg wanted to choose. He wanted a supporting role that had character but could not block the shine of Tom Cruise.

Everyone in this movie exists for the role of Tom Cruise. Therefore, the agent who helps Tom Cruise in the movie should also be like this.

Having character means that the director does not want mediocre actors and does not block the light of Tom Cruise. This is a must. The actor must restrain his character when acting. (To be continued)
