Wayne hurriedly traveled to Australia, and the day after returning to Los Angeles, he gathered with his core creative team and held a brief preparatory meeting.

Compared to Batman, this film will take less time to shoot and produce, because there is no anti-locking special effects addition, no long preparation period, and outdoor scenes that require running around.

After the preparation meeting that day, Actor Henry packed his luggage and boarded the plane to Boston, first inspecting the location and the location of the contact crew.

At the same time, the audition work for the main role is about to begin. There are many people in the circle who are staring at the Wayne project. The news has just been released for less than a day, and dozens of resumes were submitted to casting director Schwartz through the agent.

Among the resumes sent by these agents of all sizes, there are many actors who have become famous. On the contrary, there are not many unknown characters.

This is related to Wayne's request. He has roughly chosen candidates for the three main characters in this drama. Unless he performs really well and has reasons to impress him, he will not make any changes easily.

The most important thing is that these three main characters all require certain acting support. However, in this circle, actors with both acting skills and box office appeal are scarce resources themselves, and even fewer ones can meet the needs of the characters.

Even the three people he was thinking about now were decided one by one after careful consideration. It was very difficult for others to impress him and let him replace him. Similarly, if the actors he personally invited did not meet the requirements of the film, he would change them without hesitation.

On November 20, the front of the Warner Studios became lively again. Journalists and paparazzi with keen sense of smell surrounded the gate early, waiting for the stars who would enter it.

As Wayne's new film, "The Walker of the Infernal Affairs" naturally attracted a lot of media attention, but they knew almost nothing about the film's other information except that they knew the name of the film and it was a gangster film.

They hope to get some news about the film script from the audition actors. Moreover, most of the actors participating in the audition are not unknown people, and they themselves represent the topic.

However, they are mostly destined to be disappointed this time. So far, only Christian Bale has seen the complete script, and the role he needs to play does not need to be auditioned.

Wayne has nothing to examine about the acting skills of the British "Batman", and his efforts and professionalism also make him feel particularly at ease.

The information revealed in this drama is that there are only two young male protagonists, and now one of them is taken away in advance, and the remaining one is the one. All the male actors who participated in the audition are breathing a sigh of relief. They know that the competition has become more intense.

"The pay is only a symbolic $1.2 million, which is completely unsuitable for your value!"

In the dressing room of the studio studio, agent Chambers walked back and forth around his client, with an unbelievable expression on his face. "Think clearly, if we agree to this condition, I'm afraid there will be a crew to offer you this price in the future!"

It is definitely a taboo in the business field that actors are reducing their value by themselves, especially for actors who are on the rise. Reducing their value by themselves will only convey a message to the production company, that is, you are only worth this price.

This is not a matter of time or twice. With the beginning, all the crews who send you invitations will follow suit one by one.

"Chambers, this is Wayne Greenberg's project!" Brad Pitt also looked hesitant. These words seemed to be for the agent, and in fact they were also the reason for him to convince himself. "And he also invited me on his own initiative. This opportunity may take my career a step further. Think about that British Batman. Does anyone doubt his worth now?"

The agent looked back at the door, leaned forward, and lowered his voice and said, "But this is a realistic gangster movie! Who can guarantee that he will never fail? Listen, if Wayne Greenberg invites you in the DC masterpiece, you can take it with your eyes closed. Even if there is no pay, it doesn't matter, but this is a realistic film."

This is not the first time that such a debate between them has appeared. In general, it ends with Brad Pitt's silence every time.

The biggest reason why he was unwilling to refute the agent was that Chambers was thinking about everything for him and did not have any selfishness.

No one can never fail. Of course he knows this truth. Even if that person is synonymous with success, it won’t work! This is a consensus in the circle. Everyone is waiting for his first mistake. As long as this first appears, there will be no production company in the future, and they will deliberately avoid him during the film schedule.

This is the essence of the matter. Except for Warner Brothers, everyone is looking forward to Wayne's failure, but no company is willing to make a first-hand man and compete with his videos.

"His goal is Oscar." Brad Pitt was very smart and guessed the other party's goal early in the morning. At least it was one of the goals. "This is important, isn't it?"

"call."

The agent Chambers breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the rest chair and spread his hands. "I'm just reminding you not to be covered by the young man's halo. The pay of 1.2 million yuan is too small. Is it worth taking a risk? Make your own decision."

This is undoubtedly a gambling. Brad Pitt should have taken advantage of the popularity of "The Seven Deadly Sins" to take on the commercial production with higher pay, rather than taking risks in participating in this unprofitable project.

If you win a bet, your fame will naturally increase greatly. Fame means your worth. Maybe you can follow the video and go to the Oscars for a walk. If you lose a bet, it goes without saying that it will completely waste the popularity created by this episode of "The Seven Deadly Sins". Not only is it wasted time and it also did not make money.

Brad Pitt gritted his teeth. "Please take the audition first. If you can pass, we agree to Warner Bros.'s terms."

Next door to him, the actor who also came to audition for the male lead was two people together. There were only two of them in the dressing room, and there was no agent to accompany him.

"Matt, I just saw Brad Pitt." Ben Affleck looked unlucky, feeling that their hopes were infinitely close to zero in this audition.

"e on! Ben, don't do this."

Matt Damon reached out and patted his brother on the shoulder. "No one knows what the result will be until the audition is over."

Nodding slightly, Ben Affleck smiled bitterly. This was the second time they were both here to attend Wayne's new film audition. The last time he clearly felt that he had a chance and could see and appreciate his brilliance from the director's eyes, but he lost to the British for no reason.

The reason why he came again this time was simply because he was brought to him by his friend. He originally thought that he had a glimmer of hope based on the good impression he left on the director last time, but when he saw Brad Pitt, he knew that it was difficult for this role to compete.

The opponent just starred in "The Seven Deadly Sins". Now it is the time to be the most popular. This is not a man's vase. Apart from being handsome, he also has no shortage of acting skills, and his box office appeal is not comparable to the two of them.

"It's about to start, we're ready." Matt Damon heard the footsteps outside the dressing room and reminded his brothers with a smile. "If we are not selected this time, we can continue to write "The Spirit Catcher" and go to invest by ourselves."

"Click" "Click"

As he was speaking, the door was knocked twice, and the agent's voice came in. "Matt, get ready, you might be the first one."

"No problem!" Matt Damon shouted at the door.

At this time, the conference room that was transformed into an audition room, Wayne sat alone behind Schwartz, watching his two assistants installing cameras while flipping the screened resume.

There are a few acquaintances among them. Those who can make him look familiar are probably celebrities who will make a name for themselves in the future. He recognized one of the ID photos at a glance, Frank Griro, the father Frank in Wolf Warrior 2.

There are many such examples. Almost every time I participate in the audition, I can see some familiar faces more or less.

"Jennifer Connery, it's interesting. This woman doesn't lack filming, right?" Wayne looked at Schwartz and reached out to click on the resume he just pulled out. The experience in this work is brilliant, such as "The Stunning Love in Troubled Times" released last year.

The casting director shrugged and said without hesitation: "Someone asked Bruce Rosenblum and he called me. If you don't like it, I'll inform her agent tonight and cancel her audition tomorrow."

"It doesn't matter, keep it."

Relaxing on the chair, Wayne hugged his hands in front of his chest, and thought about it carefully. Jennifer Connery, who seemed to be in his early twenties, was so beautiful that he could bubbling?

"I'm fine." Schwartz nodded at him when his assistant looked at him, raised his wrist and glanced at the time, turned around and said to him, "Then start?"

“Ok.”

It didn't take long, and the door of the audition room was knocked, and Matt Damon was the first to walk in. The layout of the audition room was no different from other crews. However, he still noticed something strange. Wayne was the only one behind the casting director, but there was no producer.

"Mr. Damon, no need to introduce himself, I remember you." Before the casting director could speak, the rare Wayne spoke first. "There is a scene here, I need you to interpret it, Schwartz, you play him."

This start was interesting, but Li Kui encountered Li Gui, took out a piece of printing paper that had been prepared long ago, and he raised his hand and handed it to the other party. "You are ready, you can start anytime."

The moment he saw the script, Matt Damon was shocked. On the short half-page of paper, almost every line was swearing. Just by urging this line, this film would also be an R-level film. It is difficult to do such a film that is dirty and dirty!
