Chapter 196 Audition Blacksmith

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

Burbank, a small satellite city in Los Angeles, is home to many world-renowned media companies such as Walt Disney, Warner Bros., NBC, Viacom and PBS. Therefore, some American media also call themselves the "world media capital".

In addition to media companies, Burbank also has a series of studios and studios closely linked to media companies, and Disney Studios is one of the most famous ones.

In the summer sun in June, a black Mercedes-Benz sedan turned into Nanbowei Street and soon stopped in the parking lot in front of the Disney Studios.

It was still early before the audition time, and Matthew and Helen Herman in the car did not get off immediately.

"This crew is really strange." Matthew said to Helen Herman again. "The crew has confirmed one male lead, and the auditions for the other two are also in the last round, but the director has not yet confirmed it."

Helen Herman looked at Matthew and said, "It's not that I'm sure, I won't join the group one month before the filming starts."

Matthew couldn't deny this, "You're right, director Gore Vipensky is only responsible for filming."

Half a month has passed since Walt Disney and Jerry Brookheimer Film Production announced the launch of "Pirates of the Caribbean". The crew, which has already built a framework, has been surprisingly efficient and has quickly identified the remaining important positions.

When director Gore Wibinsky was still considering whether to take on the project, Jerry Brookheimer and his cast director passed two auditions, deciding that Hollywood's weird Johnny Depp would play Captain Jack Sparrow, one of the two male protagonists, and also held their first auditions for the daughters of the governor of two other characters, Elizabeth Swan and the little blacksmith Will Turner.

Without any suspense, Matthew passed the first audition very smoothly, otherwise he would not have been to participate in the makeup audition today.

News has been released on the crew in the past half month. After Johnny Depp signed a contract with the crew, Gore Vibinsky also decided to sign a director agreement with the crew.

However, Gore Wibinsky's new film "Midnight Bell" has not been filmed yet, and it is not possible to participate in "Pirates of the Caribbean". According to the news received by Matthew, he will not report to the crew after filming "Midnight Bell".

In other words, director Gore Vipensky will not participate in any actor audition.

Matthew has been paying attention to the progress of Pirates of the Caribbean and is used to this situation.

This project is not first written or ready-made characters, but comes from the inspiration of Jerry Brookheimer as producer and producer. It is said that he wanted to use this as an inspiration to make a movie when he saw the Caribbean-themed amusement project in Disneyland. So he used the form of a propositional essay to call the screenwriter to start creating. After the script was born under his inspiration, he first determined the crazy temperament of the male protagonist and the starring Johnny Depp, and then chose director Gore Vipensky to direct it.

Except for a few deputy directors, the entire crew was selected by Jerry Brookheimer, which had basically nothing to do with Gore Vipensky. The casting director is also the old man who Jerry Brookheimer is used to collaborate with.

The starting point of the project is Jerry Brookheimer, and the center point is Jerry Brookheimer.

Therefore, even though Matthew and Helen Hermann had learned that Gore Vibinski was very likely to become the director of "Pirates of the Caribbean", they did not do their job in his field in advance.

Helen Hermann's focus is on Disney Pictures and the cast directors.

As for Jerry Brookheimer, Helen Hermann only had a little contact. This long-faced producer is different from others. He is famous in Hollywood and is an absolute gold medal producer. In "Pirates of the Caribbean", there will be a considerable investment from his Jerry Brookheimer film production company. If the actor is not suitable for the role, he will never talk about so-called favors.

The most important thing to impress Jerry Brookheimer is the audition.

A major character has a problem, which is very likely to cause the film to fail. Perhaps such an investment will not hurt Disney, but it will definitely bankrupt Jerry Brookheimer's film production company.

In the crew, I'm afraid no one wants to choose a main actor who is suitable for the role than Jerry Brookheimer.

In this way, the impact of the off-the-selling on the audition will be much smaller.

Matthew is still a little confident about himself. Even if he doesn’t have confidence, he should be full of confidence. Once he lacks confidence, he may be afraid during the audition.

Moreover, he has used off-the-scenes tricks to pull his biggest competitor Orlando Bloom into the crew of "Van Helsing".

Because he was the leading actor in "Van Helsing", Orlando Bloom did not participate in the first audition for the little blacksmith Will Turner in "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Of course, this may also make others beneficiaries.

Matthew carried his bag and entered the Disney Studios with Helen Hermann. Studio 2 was not far from the studio gate. They walked directly over. On the way, they could see the huge studio door in front of them coming in and out, and various materials were transported in. However, the audition was not in Studio 2, but in Studio 3, which was diagonally opposite.

The two came to the studio No. 3, and immediately a crew member led Matthew to the dressing room. This was an audition for one of the male protagonists. The treatment was completely different from that of ordinary characters. The two parties agreed on a time and basically didn't have to wait.

When he arrived at the door of the male dressing room, Matthew happened to see an actress wearing British lady clothes coming out of another dressing room next to him, as if she was an actress auditioning for the heroine Elizabeth Swan.

He took a look at it and found that it was not the flat-breasted British rose in his impression.

There are no rigid regulations on the crew, and Matthew doesn't mind either. Helen Herman accompanied him into the dressing room. Perhaps seeing Matthew just followed the actress, she whispered, "That's Kristen Bell, one of the actresses who were finally selected for the makeup audition. This morning was mainly your audition with her."

Matthew nodded slightly and said nothing more. He had a general understanding of the situation of the crew. Compared to Will Turner, there were more actors selected for Elizabeth Swan's makeup audition and the competition was more intense, including Kayla Knightley.

As for his main competitors in Will Turner's makeup audition, there are three, British star Jude Law, Spider-Man Toby Maguire and Christopher Masterson, who is not as famous as him.

Originally, the crew also invited Ewan McGreg to participate in the makeup audition, but Ewan McGregor wanted to prepare for "Star Wars Prequel: Revenge of the Sith" and declined the crew's invitation.

Sitting in front of the makeup mirror to put on makeup, Matthew is also considering the situation of the other three actors, and their auditions will be held in the next few days.

Helen Herman carefully studied and analyzed these three competitors, believing that although Jude Law and Toby Maguire are famous, the possibility of winning roles is very small. Jude Law is said to be preparing for the film "Cold Mountain" of the Weinstein brothers, the film "Cold Mountain" of the Olympian expert Weinstein brothers, is very likely to voluntarily withdraw from the audition like Evan McGregor.

As for Toby Maguire, Spider-Man will appear in a Pirate movie unless Jerry Brookheimer goes crazy.

According to Helen Hermann, Jerry Brookheimer asked Toby Maguire to participate in the makeup audition, which should not be able to erase some people's face, but this face cannot make him take risks with his reputation as a gold medal producer and the future of the film company.

So, the real threat is Christopher Masterson, who is as old as him and has almost no fame.

This person has no reputation before. What Helen Herman could find is that Christopher Masterson participated in "Shocking Scream" last year. He only played a small supporting role with almost no weight. Moreover, Christopher Masterson also comes from a very small entertainment agency, and his strength is not even comparable to Helen Herman's Angel Brokerage Company.

It is precisely this that made him alert. A young actor who has no fame, no appeal, and basically has no connections. The biggest possibility that he can enter the second audition is that Jerry Brookhai defaults to Christopher Masterson, which may be suitable for the role of Will Turner!

Will Turner's final cast member depends on Jerry Brookheimer's wishes.

After finishing the hair for Matthew, the makeup artist combed his long dark brown hair that he had left neatly behind his head, and put it into a typical British hairstyle in the seventeenth century.

Matthew's makeup on his head ended here, and then went to the locker room to change his clothes. With the help of an assistant, he put on a very fit costume, then put on his boots, fastened his cuffs, and stood in front of a mirror that was more than one person tall.

His style is completely different from the type of blacksmith he remembers, and his temperament is completely different. He looks stronger, but he has a little British gentlemanly style.

"Not bad..." Helen Herman came over and looked at Matthew carefully through the makeup mirror, reminding him, "This time the crew of the makeup time requires a free play from the character script and show what you are best at!"

After the first audition, Matthew received Will Turner's character script. He has studied it many times recently and has made sufficient preparations.

"Don't worry." Matthew seemed very confident.

Since this audition was free to play, the crew asked him to come once last week to communicate the costumes and props needed for the audition.
