Listening to the actor's introduction, Wayne always felt something was wrong, and this feeling was very strange.

"...I was born in California, a mixed-race child in China and the United States. My father is a Chinese and a mother is an American. I just participated in the filming of the movie "Dragon Domination of the World"..."

When I heard him say that he was a Chinese and a mixed-race child in China and the United States, the few people in the house frowned. This was not racial discrimination, but some rules of Hollywood movies.

"Okay, Mr. Lee." Although he was a little rude, John still waved his hand to interrupt his self-introduction. "You said you are a mixed-race person in China and the United States?"

"Yes, I know I can't see it from the outside." He pointed to his face and continued, "My father gave me a Chinese name called Li Guohao. Well, I know it's hard to read, so my friends call me Li."

Wayne's head buzzed and he felt so weird, Chinese, Chinese and American mixed-race, with a completely American look, his surname is Li!

"Is Bruce Lee your father?" I couldn't help but ask.

Wayne was very curious about how the son of this legendary kung fu superstar came to his crew for an interview. Chinese people live at the bottom of North America, and are even worse than black people. Of course, the bottom of the group refers to social status.

The Chinese are introverted and not as outgoing as other races. At least Africans know how to cry, make a fuss and hang themselves, and they just have to do it. They just need to buy a group of zero-yuan shopping activities.

But Bruce Lee is different. Bruce Lee is one of the few movie stars recognized by the North American public. Almost no one knows about his Kong fu. As Bruce Lee's son, he has a natural American look, so he should not lack the opportunity to participate in the movie.

When John and Schwartz heard Wayne mention this name, they looked at the young man curiously. Even the head of DC, who had been huddling in the corner, showed a gossipy look.

"Yes, he is my father." Li Guohao shrugged and raised his superstar father. The expression on his face was a little unnatural.

Many people are very curious about his father Bruce Lee and want to dig out some so-called inside information from him.

As a movie star, philosopher, martial arts master who has led the global craze, and some rumors that have suddenly passed away, Bruce Lee's topic has always been a market in North America.

"He is a great action superstar!" John looked at this young man, and his attitude was completely different from his just now. This is Bruce Lee's influence. "But you really don't look like a Chinese. How did you know the project "The Joker"?"

"My agent signed up for the audition, and he felt that I was more in line with the image of a clown." When talking about the person who was about to audition, he suddenly changed his facial expression and smiled loudly, but he looked very sad.

"Good performance!" Wayne interrupted his performance, picked up another page of the script on the table, and handed it over. "Give you five minutes to prepare and perform this scene."

Unlike the scene where Nicholas Cage just now, this is a scene where Arthur couldn't control himself from laughing suddenly and was beaten by several people.

The scene seems simple, but it reveals the turn from Arthur to the clown. If the subsequent scene is followed, it will be his first killing and then his transformation.

"You can start anytime when you're ready!"

Wayne tilted his head and looked at the kung fu superstar's son from the camera in front of Schwartz.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, he moved a chair from the side, and suddenly opened his eyes after sitting on it.

"Ahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."

It can be seen from the camera that his performance foundation is very good. If he can put on makeup and wear clown clothes, the effect may be better.

Suddenly, he seemed to want to explain something to someone, but before he could take out the thing, he was punched to the ground.

Li Guohao, who was curled up on the floor, had a very vivid expression and was still laughing. "Ah hahahahahahahahaha..."

"Okay, let's get to this place!" Wayne knocked on the table and shook his head with regret.

The young man's performance was very good, but unfortunately, he was destined to be impossible to get this role. Letting him perform was just a polite routine, and several people in the house knew it.

"You can go back and we will notify your agent of the audition results within three days."

"Thanks!"

From Wayne's regretful gaze, Li Guohao knew that he had basically no hope, and he knew the reason clearly.

"What a pity!"

After he went out, DC's head Jonathan Keller also said regretfully.

"We can't take risks, Mr. Keller." Wayne, who kept his mind clear, turned his head and whispered to Jonathan. "This is a big production with an investment of $60 million. Although he doesn't look like a Chinese, no one can tell whether the North American audience will appear..."

In fact, no one feels more regretful than Wayne. Lee Guohao meets his requirements in terms of appearance and performance. Even his figure is very tall and thin, but as he said, they cannot take risks.

The popular movie fans in North America are the most popular movie audience in the world. Not to mention a Chinese actor, even their cousin, British actors, they don’t care about it.

All Hollywood production companies know that to shoot and produce a mainstream commercial film that sells the most, the protagonist must be an American or even a white man.

The videos that play alternatives are dead, and this is decided by the market.

The xenophobic nature of North American movie fans is not only for actors, but also for 2021 until Wayne came here, and there were no foreign films that achieved particularly good results in the North American theater market, and even a handful of films with a box office of over 100 million yuan.

However, he had some other ideas and wrote down the name Li Guohao on the paper at hand.

"Schwartz, call the next one." John looked through the resume in his hand and saw that there were a lot of young actors on it, all of whom were here to audition for the role.

Since they can pass the first round of auditions, it means that these people have more or less favorable points, and no one can guarantee whether there will be more suitable than Nicholas Cage.

But the obvious thing is that even if the performance level is close, or even slightly surpassing Nicholas Cage, he can't compete with him in this role. This is the role of human favor.

After a simple self-introduction and performance, I went out one by one. The boring audition work made several people very tired, especially the kind of performance that was not eye-catching.

"Hello, Director Greenberg!"

The actor who came in this time was a familiar face, and Wayne recognized him at a glance.

"Hello, Mr. Nicholson, no need to introduce yourself, no one here doesn't know you."

Holding Jack Nicholson's resume, Wayne rubbed his eyebrows. This is an old actor and has also played the role of clown.

"Thank you, then I'll just start the performance?" Nicholson said with a smile, his tone full of confidence.

Wayne nodded and handed him a scene introduction from the script. "You can start anytime when you're ready."

This is a small scene with lines. Arthur faces his father, Old Wayne, and accuses the other party of not giving him a little warmth.

After receiving the script, Jack Nicholson watched it silently for a while before starting the performance.

"Why do you say that? I don't need your lies! I know this is strange. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable. Why are everyone so rude? I don't know why you are like this. I don't want anything. Maybe just a little warmth or a hug, daddy!..."

Since the performance started, the three people behind the table shook their heads at the same time. There was no problem with his performance, but his condition was incorrect.

The state used by Jack Nicholson is still the state of the clown in the 1989 "Batman" movie. He put every line in his own understanding, which seems fun and illogical.

However, the few people did not interrupt his performance, and they only politely applauded after he finished speaking all the lines.

“尼克尔森先生,感谢你能来参加试镜.三天内我们会把试镜结果通知你的经纪人.”

"Thanks!"

After he went out, John looked at Wayne. "He can't do it, it doesn't match our settings at all. Jack Nicholson is still immersed in the clown roles of the past."

"Is there anyone else?" Wayne nodded, agreeing very much with the producer.

"That's all for the time being," said the audition director.

Wayne stood up and opened his hands, stretched his big waist, and worked on the chair for a long time, feeling like he was rusted and his whole body was sore.

"Schedule other roles to audition, let's speed up."
