This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 946 This is too depressing (Additional chapter 310 for the leader Yi Yi Yi Ke)

The audition news was released two weeks ago. The audition took place in Hollywood, so it attracted many stars.

Word of the audition spread quickly.

The stinginess of the Chinese director Hao Yun immediately challenged the bottom line of Hollywood stars.

50 million dollars!
That's right, he wants to find a leading actress for $50.

Even though the leading female role didn't have many scenes, the $50 salary immediately discouraged a lot of people from wanting the role.

Even if they are selling it, they definitely hope to get a good price.

However, there are also many female stars who don't care about the pay.

So no matter how others ridiculed him, it didn't affect his ability to quickly push through the audition.

There are actually a few actresses that I am quite satisfied with.

Hao Yun was not stingy and invited them out for dinner if they agreed.

Don't get me wrong, it's just a simple meal.

Even though An Xiaoxi was not here, Hao Yun did not have a rich sex life.

He wanted to know more about the actress's inner qualities rather than her inner wear.

The actresses who were having dinner all wanted to work with Hao Yun and didn't care much about the pay.

It's an art film.

It's understandable that the pay is not high. Five hundred thousand can at least cover food, drink and entertainment.

Just pretend that I haven’t taken any work during this period.

In fact, Hao Yun likes Jennifer Connelly very much. He thinks she has a very good temperament and is very beautiful.

I remember the last time I watched "A Beautiful Mind", Jennifer Connelly was still a beauty.

But after meeting each other, I felt that there was no chance for me and him to get along.

Europeans and Americans age too fast.

Moreover, when she was trying out crying scenes, her emotions were not strong enough. It’s not that her acting skills were bad, but such a devastating role was not suitable for her.

After the meal, Hao Yun said that he would make an appointment with her next time.

Jennifer Connelly did not have too many regrets. The biographical film "A Beautiful Mind" starring her was not only a huge success, but also won her the Best Supporting Actress at the 74th Academy Awards. Her acting skills were widely recognized by the industry and became an important turning point in her career.

Now we don’t have to worry about resources anymore.

However, this handsome young man from China is indeed very charming and his words and deeds are very interesting. If she had not been married to Paul Bettany, she would not mind changing her taste and dating Hao Yun.

The second person who had the "fortune" of having dinner with Hao Yun was Jessica Chastain.

This female star, who has been a supporting actress on the film set for many years, has many common topics with Hao Yun.

She was selected by Al Pacino in 2006 and starred in the stage play "Salome", and became well-known to the audience; in 2008, she won the Best Actress Award at the Seattle International Film Festival for the biographical film "Jolene".

He has both talent and good looks, and although his performance during the audition was a bit immature, it is not impossible to train him.

The birth date of 1977 is also appropriate.

However, Hao Yun asked them to go back and wait for news after dinner the day before, and called to apologize the next day.

Because he has a more suitable one.

Jessica Chastain was not particularly disappointed either, as Hao Yun promised her the female lead in "The Martian".

Although he did not have too many scenes, the novel "The Martian" dominated the bestseller list for many weeks and was a popular IP throughout Hollywood.

Many first-line male stars are willing to reduce their pay to perform in films.

I didn’t get “Manchester by the Sea”, but I got “The Martian”, which is a resource upgrade.

Hao Yun finally chose the third Hollywood actress who had dinner with him, Rosamund Pike.

This actress, born in 1979, is the youngest "Bond girl" in history.

In 2002, at the age of 23, she starred in the last 007 movie "Die Another Day" starring Pierce Brosnan.

Her audition went very well this time.

Although she is two years younger than Jessica Chastain, she is obviously better at controlling her emotions.

Nor does she look as delicate as Jessica Chastain.

Since she didn't think the $50 salary was too little, Hao Yun almost decided to hire her.

However, Hao Yun still invited the other party to have a meal together according to his habit.

Being able to have dinner with him means that he is seriously considering the other person.

There were also many female celebrities that he was not very interested in. He didn't even eat the meal and apologized almost on the spot.

Although we do not rule out the possibility of future cooperation, there will be no opportunity in the short term.

Hao Yun currently has many projects on hand, including "The Martian", "Gone Girl", "Life of Pi", "The Hunt", and "Birdman"... It's no exaggeration to say that there will be a chance to work together next time.

Rosamund Pike didn't come to the audition alone.

Her boyfriend came with her.

The boyfriend was not worried that the director would go berserk or use a despicable method to seduce his girlfriend into discussing strangers with him.

But he himself is particularly interested in Hao Yun.

The boyfriend, who is 19 years older than Rosamund, introduced himself as Robin Uniak.

"do you speak Chinese?"

Hao Yun was shocked by the other party's fairly standard Mandarin.

At least compared to most foreigners speaking Mandarin, this one is already an expert.

"My whole family can speak Chinese. We are all fans of China. My Chinese name is You Ru Bi." Robin Uniak said with a smile.

He insisted on accompanying his girlfriend to the audition and said that he would be a plus for the audition.

Because he knows China very well, he can communicate better with Hao Yun.

"I also have a Chinese name, which Robin gave me. My name is Pei Chunhua..."

Rosamund Pike doesn't seem to have warmed up to the name she just got this year, and her pronunciation in Chinese sounds a bit awkward.

This suggests that their in-depth communication has not been going on for long.

With a boyfriend who is an expert in China, the following conversation becomes very easy.

Moreover, Hao Yun was already quite satisfied with Rosamund Pike's performance.

So most of the time, Hao Yun had in-depth discussions about the script with Rosamund Pike.

This time, we are not simply giving a page of paper and asking the other party to perform, but analyzing the role together based on the entire movie.

The script has already been registered, and if we start filming in November, there is no need for the other party to offend me by leaking the script.

"This... this is too depressing."

Rosamund Pike is an actor after all, and she is quite professional and can understand the starting point of the screenwriter.

Her boyfriend, Robin Uniak, broke out in a cold sweat.

He originally thought that Hao Yun was very successful at a young age, and that he must have a bright heart because of his early success.

I didn't expect him to be so dark.

"For the sake of dramatic conflict... In addition, some news footage was also incorporated. Compared to my new film, this one is actually quite redemptive."

Hao Yun was talking about "Hello! Mr. Tree".

If another new film "Your Name" is purely meant to be depressing, it can also end in tragedy, with them missing each other.

“This is a film that will definitely win an award!”

Rosamund Pike probably understands Hao Yun's ambition for this film.

I just don't know if Hao Yun has a chance to win the Best Actor award under the guidance of Zheng Zhizheng in Hollywood.

Talented people are different. No matter what script they are given, they can come up with a wonderful one.

If someone else had Hao Yun's ability, there would be no need to worry about becoming the best actor.

After the leading female role was confirmed, Hao Yun quickly decided on his eldest nephew.

Freddie Highmore!
The main reason for choosing him was probably because this child star did not grow up ugly and his acting skills were also very good.

The character played by Hao Yun is a middle-aged man.

At least thirty years old.

To do this, he needs to cover up his handsomeness in his appearance and even plans to grow a beard.

In this case, the handsomeness will be gone.

The eldest nephew's role is second only to Hao Yun. If he could be more handsome, he would be able to attract more box office revenue.

Some other young actors either lacked acting skills or had exaggeratedly bad images, but Freddie Highmore stood out.

Of course, the fact that he watched all of Hao Yun's works during the two weeks between being notified of the audition and the actual audition was a very important plus point.

Respect is mutual.

Regarding the mere $35 salary, the teenager said that he did not care about the money, but rather cherished the opportunity to work with Hao Yun.

Hao Yun almost told him, since you don’t like money so much, why not just act for free.

For the auditions of some other actors, Hao Yun only watched the vlogs recorded at that time and confirmed the full cast of "Manchester by the Sea".

Now he is just waiting for the filming of "Inception" to be completed and Nolan to let him go.
