After a simple lunch, the small conference room where the audition was full of various actors. Unlike the morning, there are almost all types of actors.

Harry Berry was waiting alone at the door of the conference room and she would be the first to go in.

She understood that the heroine of this film was obviously a tool character, and she couldn't even be considered a vase, but this was her best opportunity. As long as Wayne still hoped to succeed like before, she would also gain some fame with the film.

This is a one-man show, the protagonist is just Arthur, the clown, and most of the scenes in the film are also following him.

"Ding, Ding, Ding." Footsteps came, and all the actors in the corridor were watching the three people walking. They knew that they could join the project through audition, and the decision was in the hands of these three people.

Schwartz opened the door of the conference room and shook Harry Berry. "Come in, Ms. Berry"

"Thanks!"

As the casting director of this project, he knew the relationship between this woman and the director.

In the conference room, Wayne was discussing Nicholas Cage with John. After work this afternoon, he asked John to contact his agent and negotiate with the other party about pay and treatment as soon as possible.

After watching all kinds of clowns for the whole morning, only Nicholas Cage's performance was the most outstanding. The son of the Chinese action superstar was actually not good, but unfortunately he was not in the hero's plan.

"This is a good image!" John murmured softly.

Standing directly in front of the three, Harry Berry looked at them confidently, and his deliberately made hair and face made her look like an ordinary black girl.

A pair of common brown overalls and a simple long-sleeved T-shirt. In terms of dress and image, the three of them feel that appearance will not be an obstacle to Harry Berry's heroine.

After a simple performance, Harry Berry walked out of the conference room.

"Schwartz, John, what do you think?"

The casting director nodded to producer John and said, "She has no problem, and her acting skills can handle this role."

"Just Harry Berry, I will call her agent to notify you." John had no objection. To put it bluntly, this is a small character. There is only one person with weight in the film, Arthur.

The reason why the two of them did this is actually because of Wayne's face, so it is sometimes very effective in Hollywood favors.

The audition progress in the afternoon was significantly accelerated. If you are uncertain, let go of the person first. Each actor stayed in the conference room for no more than ten minutes.

It was not until the street lights were lit in the studio that Wayne and the other two walked out of the studio together.

"Who do we use that talk show actor?" John looked up and discussed the actor's issue with Wayne as he walked. The roles that could be basically confirmed today have been confirmed, and he will soon negotiate a contract with his agent.

The only exception is that the talk show actor who was shot dead by Arthur live broadcast at the end of the film, and there is still no suitable candidate.

This character has no more and less roles, but there are some acting requirements. Wayne recalled the old actor who has an impression of Hollywood and said, "Contact Robert Dronney's agent tomorrow. If he has a schedule, just negotiate a contract with him."

"no problem."

"Also, John!" Wayne suddenly thought of the problems encountered in the filming of the previous film. "All actors must have anti-drug terms on the contract. They must be clearly marked on the contract. If I find that they are having fun while working, I will change them."

When the previous film was filmed, Will Smith was in very good condition. He was in a rap star party and when he came back, he was in a state of slashing.

Although Will Smith sincerely apologized to him in the end, it was real to delay the shooting.

Wayne doesn't want to experience this kind of main character because he sucks those things and delays the filming progress of the film.

"I'll mark it in the contract, and if they can't help but suck those things, the crew has the right to replace them."

"This is just a deterrent, John, we can't stare at them every day, we can only use contracts to bind them."

To produce an excellent film, it is very important for every crew member to form the director, and the actors to do the same. No matter which aspect there is a problem, it is possible to infinitely extend the filming time of the film.

After leaving the studio, Wayne got into the car, he looked at his assistant. "Have you agreed with him?"

"Yeah." Nina nodded. "I told him your proposal, and he said he would go back and consider it, but seeing the actor's meaning, I still want to act in a movie."

Do you still want to act in a movie?

During the lunch break, Wayne asked his assistant to find Li Guohao, hoping that he could participate in the video.

Although Li Guohao is very thin, he has been very agile since he was a child. The position the crew can provide him with is to join the behind-the-scenes working group to do some action guidance and a stand-in with the male lead Arthur.

For such an arrangement, it was the best way Wayne came up with to rack his brains, otherwise the son of this Chinese action superstar would join another crew in a while and follow his father's old path.

The film "Crow" has a very big name, but the content is about who sees who is watching. It is not because the director or actor performs poorly, but because Lee Guohao was shot and killed without taking many shots.

Most of the shots of the queen of the film were shot by a stand-in. Finally, they were cut into Li Guohao's shots and synthesized such a film that consumes deadly people.

This is a common method of Hollywood capital. He is neither the first dead person to be consumed nor the most famous. He is a god-making person. Only dead actors have this qualification.

"Ask him to meet in my name, let's go tomorrow, let him go directly to the Warner Building in Burbank. I'm going to talk to him."

Finally, he made some effort. If he still couldn't change his ideas, Wayne wouldn't have to spend this effort again.

"Okay, boss."

The next morning, the Rolls-Royce Silver Spurs stopped under the Warner Building. As soon as he got off the car, Wayne saw Li Guohao waiting at the door.

If anyone in Hollywood is similar to him, it is probably Keanu Reeves. They both have Chinese descent and have a melancholy face.

"Mr. Greenberg, I..."

"Go in and say."

After walking to the rest area on the first floor, Wayne sat down and said directly: "My assistant should have made it clear yesterday that my crew needs an action guide, and the protagonist also needs a stunt stand-in. You are perfectly competent for this job."

"Mr. Greenberg, I'm considering it." Li Guohao was actually very unsure of what the other party meant. Hollywood does not lack action guidance, and this is not an action movie. As for the stunt stand-in, it's possible.

"In fact, this doesn't match my original intention. I always want to be an actor and star in my own film."

"That's hard unless you're willing to continue consuming your father." Wayne looked at him seriously and reached out to make a kung fu gesture. "You should understand the purpose of those film companies looking for you. They just want to consume your father, Bruce Lee, and don't care if you are the protagonist."

In fact, this is the case. Li Guohao himself is very clear about the problems he faces. He is confident that he can act in a good movie, but he has never gotten too good opportunities.

When he debuted, "Kung Fu Circle" was the role of Bruce Lee's stand-in. No one could tell whether there were other factors in the subsequent films.

"Li, think about it carefully." After saying that, Wayne stood up and prepared to go upstairs. He did everything he could, which could make up for the regrets in his heart. As for whether it would work, it was not something he, a film director, could decide.

"Okay, I'll take it."

Before he could walk away, he heard the answer. Wayne turned his head and said, "Let your agent contact John. After signing the contract, you must immediately join the group and start training. We will go to New York to start shooting soon."

After saying that, he waved to him and took Nina into the elevator.

"Boss, do you admire him?" Nina looked curious.

Wayne shrugged. "He is a good actor, but unfortunately he is a Chinese, but in another year or two, there should be a better chance."

In his heart, Wayne added, it depends on whether anyone is willing to praise him.

Since Keanu Reeves can become famous, Li Guohao will not have too many problems, mainly for the first time.

No one dares to take risks in investing in huge commercial films, and no one is sure if the popular movie fans will hate the movies he starred in because of race issues, and those small productions that invite him for various reasons will not have much influence.

As long as he can prove himself like Keanu Reeves, even if it only takes one time, the road ahead will be much easier.
