At the Burbank Warner Studios, after Luke confirmed the studio, the crew's work location was placed here.

Most of the film's interior and yard shots will be photographed in this studio being built, while the simple exterior shots Luke rents a suburban villa.

After watching it personally, Wayne determined the filming location. Today, there was a large group of people sitting in the corridor of the temporary office. They were the actors who came to audition for the main roles of the film.

Among all the people in line, the most confident one is Naomi Watts. She knew clearly that as long as she faced the producer for a while, don't mess it up, the heroine must be her own.

The one who went into the dressing room with her was a beautiful woman. Although the two of them had different target roles, they did not have any friendly feelings. Before the roles of the film were decided, everyone would be a competitor.

It was not until Naomi Watts put on makeup and walked out of the simple dressing room that the beauty's agent spoke.

"Harry, you have to seize this opportunity. There are very few demands for Hollywood actors. It is too rare to have a film like this that requires Hey People. You have to find a way to impress the director and producer. I'll go out and ask for news, and you're ready."

Looking at him walking out of the dressing room with a blank expression, she understood what the agent meant. The rule of this circle is that if you want to gain something, you have to make efforts.

Her pretty pleasing appearance is the only capital that can impress those people. She doesn't find it difficult for her to accept this. As long as she can get a role, she doesn't mind sleeping all over the crew like Julia Roberts.

Looking at the shoes prepared by the crew, she carefully touched them from the inside out with her hands, carelessly not following these audition common sense, and she had seen the consequences more than once.

She had seen steel needles in her shoes and had been pierced through the instep, and had also seen those who were carelessly picking up water from someone and drinking it and then sending it to the hospital. The most intense moment of competition among actors was the audition day of the crew, and the opponents they could see were using invisible means.

"The audition has begun, be ready! The blonde actor has just entered." The agent returned to the dressing room to remind her.

"She is not the main opponent. Have you found out about the director?" Harry didn't care about the white characters, he only cared about the news about the agent.

"You audition first, I found out the director's office, it's here." The agent pointed to the right with his hand, indicating that the office was there.

In the conference room where the audition was about to begin, Wayne sat in the middle, with the producer's name on both sides of the left and right sides, and Luke. Due to the size of the crew, there was only one deputy director and he did not specially hire a casting director.

The temporary photographer Luke adjusted the camera angle and nodded at Wayne, indicating that everything was OK and could start.

The staff opened the door and the first person to come in was Naomi Watts.

"Please introduce yourself first." Seeing the director's expressionless face, John spoke up to host the audition.

"I am Naomi Watts, born in the UK and from Australia. I have participated in only one feature film, Happy Death Day, and I play the heroine Tylie. This time I will audition for the heroine Rose."

"Okay, just perform this scene, Luke, please help me with the scene." Wayne handed her a page of the script as if he didn't know her.

After taking it, Naomi breathed a sigh of relief. She had practiced this scene and explained it to the end of the film Chris, which was not difficult for her.

Looking at Naomi's performance, John lowered his head and flipped through her resume. It was very easy and simple, and there was only one experience of the heroine.

After looking at the director next to him who was leaning against the chair with a expressionless face, he knew that the heroine was probably the girl. The audition was just a formality, and she must have practiced in advance.

John doesn't care about these things. He knows his positioning and will not cause trouble for the other party in these trivial matters.

"Okay, stop. Ms. Watts, the agent who will notify the audition results as soon as possible, and that's all today." Wayne stopped her performance. It was enough to know that she was fine, and there was no need to let her continue.

"Okay, thank you director!" Naomi bowed gently, blinked at him playfully when she lowered her head, and then opened the door and walked out.

"What do you think?" Wayne asked softly at John.

"It's not bad, with a beautiful appearance and basically qualified acting skills. It's totally enough for this film." John had no special opinions. He knew that this girl was the first to come in, which already explained too much.

"I think she can be decided for the time being. If there is a more suitable one later, I will talk about it." Luke looked at the video he just took and expressed his opinion.

"Yeah, next one."

As the conference room door opened, the girl walked in confidently. As soon as she came in, Wayne and Luke frowned. The appearance was not bad, but it was too beautiful, and the difference between the character settings in the film was too big.

"I am Harry Berry, a model, and has participated in a movie and a TV series." After Harry introduced himself, he looked at the three people opposite him, the young director in the middle, obviously the main decision maker of the audition.

"Can you perform crying? You need to cry with a smile!"

Crying with a smile? She was obviously stunned when she heard the director's request. "Of course, I will brew my emotions a little while."

A young actor like her has no channel to get the information on the script of the film, so she is not prepared for this alternative requirement at all.

After trying several times, she finally adjusted her emotions, but when tears flowed down, she clearly saw the dissatisfaction of the three people on the other side.

"Sorry, can you give me some more time? I can perform better." The crying scene is not difficult for trained actors, but the difficulty is that she doesn't know what the other party needs.

"Just here, Ms. Berry, you performed very well and will notify your agent after the audition results." Luke looked at Wayne and interrupted her.

After she went out, John shook his head and said, "This is not possible. Her skin is too light. The most important thing is that she is too beautiful and does not match the role positioning. It will also give the audience a sense of confusion, affect the focus of the film, and his acting skills are too immature."

"Luke, after the audition, I informed her agent that she did not meet our requirements." Wayne did not say nonsense and directly denied Harry Berry. The gap between her and her role settings was too big.

This later Oscar winner should have just transformed from a model to an actor, and her acting skills are too immature. The most suitable role for her now should be the vase type, but the vase role is also the most competitive, and countless white girls have more advantages than her.

Half a day of audition made the three people sitting in the room a little tired, and each held coffee and watched the video and discussed different opinions.

"Luke, this Rebecca Rhode is good, very suitable for the protagonist's mother. You call her agent later. John should pay attention and try to keep her pay as low as possible."

"No problem!" "Okay!"

Wayne took a look at the time, stood up and said, "Let's just stop here today. Let's go back and study it again. There is still one day tomorrow. I hope the audition of the male lead will go smoothly."

After working for half a day today, only the roles of the heroine and her mother were determined. None of the heroine's father's roles meet expectations, and the roles of the male and female maid (grandparents) were difficult to give birth.

However, this time is relatively free, so he is not in a hurry to make do with it. There are many Hollywood actors, so you can find them slowly, but they are not special actors.

The most important thing is the actor of the male lead. The sooner the determination, the better. I don’t know if I can meet the right person tomorrow.

Wayne rubbed his stiff neck and returned to his director's office. He sat behind the desk and lit a cigarette. Not long after he sat down, he wanted to clean up and go home, but Jimmy walked in with an ugly face.

"What's wrong? Jimmy, you don't look like you're in a good state."

"A bad news, Morgan Freemanley wants to talk to you. I don't know where he saw the script. I think he became interested in the characters." Jimmy thought this was disgusting. The other party greeted him directly through caa, in an imperative manner.

"Ahh? Our small pond can't put down his big fish, so he asked him to find Warner Brothers by himself. I don't have time to pay attention to him."

Wayne never considered such a famous actor at the beginning. His qualifications were too shallow to suppress the other party and could not stop him from talking about it, and he could also worry about his personal pay. Even if the other party fell in love with this story and was willing to play the role of the crew, the crew work would definitely be around him, and the status of the two parties was too different.

"You'd better meet him. Even if you refuse, you have to explain the reason yourself. Don't forget the problem you encountered when "Happy Death Day" was released. Making too many enemies is not good for your future." Jimmy patiently advised him that if you can not offend such a famous boss, try not to offend him.

"Whatever you want, I definitely won't use him and let him negotiate with Warner." He didn't take this seriously at all. The small pond really couldn't stand the other party's big fish. "I'll go back first and make an appointment with Nami to have supper together."

"Okay, go out together."

The two of them were sitting in an electric car and walking out together, Jimmy suddenly realized that something was missing. "No, where is your assistant? Isn't it usually the same way you go?"

Without Nina around, Wayne was not very adaptable. He was used to having someone to help with everything, and even driving Nina was a good player.

"She was on vacation today, and I paid her a salary in advance. It should be that she went home."

"Well, then she's such a good girl. There are not many girls who go home after getting a salary." Jimmy sighed.

When he parked his car to the small square of Greenberg Manor, the sky was already slightly dark. Looking at the shadowy garden, he felt it was necessary to find a few security personnel as soon as possible. The manor was too old, otherwise the door would be opened by itself every time.

When he walked into the restaurant, he found that Naomi was the only one, and Hela, who was always there, didn't know where to go.

"How am I doing today? Isn't it okay?" Naomi couldn't wait to ask about the audition results.

"Don't worry, there is no accident, the heroine will only be yours."
