Chapter 156: Casting in progress

Casting scene of "300 Warriors of Sparta" movie.

Zhuke, Kevin Fitch, and Zach Schneider were a little excited after several rounds of viewing glasses. 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 a lot of 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 time, 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 that 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 tune, 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!

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 tag is at least 10 million U.S. 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 deviated, 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 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 suspicion.

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 very domineering. The popularity of its role was stupefied by suppressing the protagonist of the Ring Squad.

"Then what are we waiting for, whether it will work or not, let him look into the mirror to 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 height of 1.8 meters and clear muscle lines were good, leaving a good impression on Zhuke and others.

"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.

The Zhuke trio 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 Akkadians 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 won't be over 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 Leonidas looked at the leader of the Akkadians with disdain, 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, the Akkadians! The Spartan warriors will never back down! The Spartan warriors will never surrender! Every Greek knows the truth, let them find their conscience. Now that 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 extremely reasonable.

Because he is the king of Spartans!

"Brothers, the Spartans will never back down or 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 in the annals of 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. But tonight we will eat and drink in hell~!"

The end of the role.

Happiness~!

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

"Vigo Mortensen, the actor is yours!"

Zhu Ke made a decision on the spot ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and did not say anything such as waiting for notification.

.......

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 ability are not enough for this role.

After all, in the original time and space, "Spartan 300 Warriors" 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 his peak, not to mention the role of Aragorn in the future "Lord of the Rings Trilogy". But a very domineering person!
