178-Li Guohao's audition roller coaster

While the girl was performing, Wayne and Bruce Rosenblum said nothing, watching Schwartz adjust the camera and play for her.

Drew Barrymore's face changed instantly, as if she had really seen the terrifying clown. She kept looking back and looking, and the expression on her face also changed with time.

"Okay, let's get to this." Wayne called to stop almost as soon as her performance began. "Ms. Delhimore, the crew will then inform your agent of the audition results."

"Okay, thank you!" She nodded to Wayne and the producer, opened the door and walked out.

"Bruce, when discussing contract issues with her agent, you must emphasize the contraband clause." Wayne shook his head. "This child has been reported by the media, and no one knows whether it is true or not..."

"no problem!"

Although this girl has no aura of childhood, she is not unfamiliar with acting and is a frivolous person. Moreover, she doesn't have too many scenes. Seeing that she can meet her requirements, there is no need to continue.

The audition work has been in an orderly manner, and most of the time Wayne is very dull about it, not as serious as it was in "The Joker".

This is a youth horror movie. To put it bluntly, it doesn’t require much high demands on acting skills. The main perspective is on children. As long as the young actors Schwartz chooses are not afraid of life when facing the camera, dare to act, and have some aura, Wayne will not object.

The door was pushed open again, this time the person who came in was an acquaintance. Li Guohao seemed to be thinner than before. After he came in, he nodded like a few people, greeted him, and started his performance towards the camera.

"Lee! What you want to perform is not a human. Pennywis is a dancing clown. He sucks energy by intimidating children." Wayne sat behind the camera and frowned after Lee Guohao finished a part of the performance. He made the emotions he had misplaced with the characters!

"Listen, this clown and Arthur, the clown in the previous video, are all different things. Do you understand? You are just a pure monster, a monster that will return every 27 years!"

To be honest, if he couldn't even do the most basic point, Wayne could only change his mind and replace him. Li Guohao obviously made a lot of preparations in advance, but the direction of his preparation was completely wrong. It would be better to do nothing and adapt to the situation.

"Give me five minutes!"

Fortunately, Li Guohao inherited the smart Chinese brain. He took a page of the scene described in the script and turned around carefully to the wall for a while. After turning around this time, his expression completely changed.

From the monitor, you can see that Arthur's neuroticism was gone on his face, and replaced by another smile, gloomy and terrifying.

Just as the male protagonist was really standing in front of him, he slowly squatted down towards the air, turned his face toward the camera.

"How is this time?" Li Guohao looked at Wayne and Bruce Rosenblum nervously. "I'm sorry, I thought this clown would be similar to the previous video, so I practiced privately for several days!"

The producer was also staring at the monitors and cameras. In general, the performance of this clown is many times easier than Arthur. He had basically no problem with his second performance.

He nodded to Wayne and Schwartz, saying that there was nothing wrong with him.

"Lee, go back and wait for the notification. We will notify your agent of the audition results within three days." Wayne's tone was not very good. He didn't expect that such a simple role and performance would almost mess up.

"OK, thanks!"

Walking out of this conference room, Li Guohao gave his chest a little dejectedly, and he was not sure about the performance just now. He thought he was another neurotic character with complex emotions, but he didn't expect that it was actually much simpler than what he prepared.

The emotions that he finally immersed in before the audition became a burden to his performance. He thought that this role must be his own, but he inquired about the news with Schwartz that Wayne called him to attend the audition.

This video is very important to him. He has participated in the previous film as a stand-in and a stuntman, and has witnessed with his own eyes how Nicholas Cage is so popular all over the United States. But the opportunity finally came, but he was screwed up by himself!

"Lee, what's the result?" Agent Jeremy Tamil was also full of confidence in his performance. Normally, with his relationship with his client and crew, this role will not be unexpected.

"Jamie." Li Guohao's expression was very ugly, and he walked out of the studio as he said. "I've messed up!"

"What?" Jeremy Tamil couldn't believe it after chasing his client. "Hey, hey, Lee."

"You should understand that this is Wayne Greenberg's masterpiece next year! It's a big hit that countless media, critics and fans are looking forward to! We have to think of ways that if you can star in this film, those shits will never discriminate against your blood again!"

At the door of the studio, the agent grabbed Li Guohao and kept talking about the importance to him.

"Damn it, it's not up to director Schwartz and Greenberg, it's up to me to be smart!" He looked at the agent and told him what had just happened in the audition room.

"Even if I perform normally, this role must be mine, but because of practicing Arthur's condition for a few days, he performed badly in temporary changes. He was called a clown, and I thought..."

"Have you read the original work? Lee!" Jeremy Tamir suddenly felt helpless. "I thought you knew that Stephen King's original work was so famous!"

This is a misunderstanding. After all, Li Guohao is not a pure North American, especially those best-selling writers in North America, which is even more impossible to be familiar with.

The agent and he looked at each other and both had the illusion of being teased about this matter.

"You said, do I want to call Director Greenberg? Maybe he will give me another chance?"

Looking back at the direction of the conference room, Li Guohao asked his agent with some uncertainty. The director's film noir has made Ethan Hawk, Naomi Watts, Nicholas Cage and others famous, and he also had the opportunity to take the ride.

And not only himself, Li Guohao is very clear about how important this opportunity is. There are countless male and female actors in Hollywood who want to take advantage of this dark director’s ride!

"Don't think about it, Lee." The agent patted his arm. "Let's wait for the phone first. If we don't receive a notice from the crew before tonight, we're thinking about something else."

Call that director now? How is that possible? There may be a turnaround in this matter. Jeremy Tamill has heard of Wayne's attitude towards his clients.

However, before night was about to come, they received a call from Bruce Rosenblum, informing them that they would come to Warner Bros. to negotiate a contract tomorrow.

This character finally fell into Li Guohao's hands and was not as worried as he was.

While the crew was busy preparing and auditioning, accountant Collin Howard sent good news to Wayne that Warner Bros.'s first director's share was paid.

"The Joker" is now out of stock in most parts of the world, and only a few remote areas are still being screened, but the global box office has exceeded 900 million US dollars, temporarily ranking first in the global box office list.

Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" follows closely, with a box office of about to exceed $900 million. This year, most countries around the world have deeply understood the influence of Hollywood blockbusters.

This time, Warner Bros. made the first share of $20 million to Wayne's studio account, which is also the first box office share paid by the theater to Warner. The subsequent share will be paid after the film is completely out of stock.

However, this time Collin Howard did not move the money. He was the main financial officer of the negotiation team. Judging from the current progress, the money not only could not be moved, but also had to be ready to sell Wayne's stock at any time to raise funds to invest in Warner Bros.

"If we take all the stocks, how much money can we raise now?" Wayne asked curiously in the face of the accountant who reported the progress of the negotiations to him.

Almost all of his income in recent years has been invested in the stock market through Collin Howard. Although he has been learning about it regularly through Nina, he is not sure how much money he has.

"About 70 million!" When talking about this, the accountant almost didn't need to check it, and gave a surprising number. "If we take the shares of Microsoft and Oracle in our hands, we would probably have about 70 million US dollars. Now Internet companies are already rising crazy."

"Let's take a loan, please contact me in advance, it's best to lend more." Wayne thought about whether there were more channels to raise money.

Now it seems that loans are a good choice. If mortgaged with houses and stocks, raising hundreds of millions of funds in a short period of time should not be a problem.

"You just need to contact us in advance, but don't worry, see how much you can borrow."

"At least hundreds of millions." Clin Howard said confidently.

He knew that except for the loans from this group of manors that had not been paid off, it was almost as clean as a piece of paper. The bank would not be too difficult to lend to such customers with good credit and repayment ability.

And it's a pity that those stocks are sold now, it's better to have mortgage loans. Internet companies' stocks are rising like crazy.

"Wayne, if we continue to talk at this rate, we will be able to talk to Warner Bros before the New Year. What do you think?"

Facing Collin Howard's question, he smiled and said, "Drag it, it's best to drag it until my movie is released next year. There will be greater surprises at that time. Remember to contact slowly, don't worry!"

At the end of October, after simple preparations, the crew began to divide into several batches to rush to Canada. Wayne also flew to Canada in advance and prepared to visit the famous Port Hope.
