Chapter 194 Doing a lot of bad things and being afraid of being fucked
Tuesday, a very ordinary morning.
Jessica accompanied Martin out of the apartment, got into the Volkswagen driven by Bruce, and prepared to go to Burbank for the audition.
The car drove less than a kilometer and turned into the underground parking lot next to it.
Meine drove another car and was waiting here.
Martin took off his hat, put it on Jessica's head, and said, "Be careful."
Under the light, Jessica's skin was so white that it reflected light, and she was slightly surprised: "Is it necessary to be so careful?"
Bruce said: "It's necessary."
Martin got into Mene's car and waited until Bruce left before driving out of the parking lot and following behind.
It's not that Martin is too careful, but during the audition at the wax museum last year, Adrian targeted Paris Hilton's ex-boyfriend, who was the top candidate at the time.
Today it was just the opposite, Martin was the top candidate for the audition.
There were no unexpected situations along the way. We arrived at Warner Studios, met Thomas, and entered the office building of Warner Studios together.
The crew of "The Departed" rented half a floor.
Today we put on makeup for the audition. The production assistant took Martin and Mene into the dressing room.
Bruce stood guard at the door.
Thomas said: "You're making it really complicated."
Bruce nodded: "It doesn't matter to ordinary people. Bad people who have done too many bad things will find it difficult to feel at ease if they don't do it."
Not just Martin, he actually also agrees with this.
Having done so many things to others, you are naturally afraid of being **** by others.
Thomas looked at Bruce, then looked at the foyer through the glass door of the dressing room, thinking that these two were born to be good partners.
Bruce pointed to the kettle carried by Jessica: "Don't let it out of your sight."
Jessica was also involved in the acting industry before becoming an assistant. She nodded quickly: "I understand."
Thomas finally understood. Martin and Bob regarded the audition as a war, or the CIA to mess up things.
But considering all the **** these two were involved in, it's not an exaggeration.
An hour later, Martin put on an old-fashioned suit and entered the audition room.
In the audition room, in addition to casting director Allen, director Scorsese, and a group of executive producers including Louise were sitting.
There are also five related households.
Supervisors from Warner Bros. and the Screen Actors Guild.
They are very professional. Each of them holds a game console and starts playing. They are not too eventful.
An assistant came over to prepare for the scene with Martin. The audition was still about the conflict between Colin and his boss Franco.
In less than a minute, the audition was complete.
Scorsese did not let Martin leave, but asked photographers to take multiple makeup photos of him.
There is a difference between what the human eye sees and what is captured by the camera.
Scorsese looked back at the audition video, and then looked at the makeup photos, and the more he watched, the more satisfied he became.
His acting skills are online, he has a good image, he brings money to join the group, and he works hard. Apart from being slightly less famous, he has no other shortcomings, which meets his requirements for actors.
“That's it.” Scorsese called to stop filming. He looked at Martin and said, “Go to the dressing room and wait for a while.”
Martin knew that the outcome of the audition would be decided on the spot, so he responded: "Okay."
After he left the audition room, Scorsese looked around and asked for the opinions of the investors: "For the role of Colin, I choose Martin Davis. What do you think?"
“Agree.” Warner Bros. representatives Daniel and Pacific Pictures' Louise expressed their opinions.
“I agree,” said Allen, the casting director.
Producer Graham King raised his hand, focusing on Scorsese: "I agree."
The decision was made and everyone else agreed, even Doug from Dyson Films voted in favor.
The attitude of the five game console users is just to watch and have no right to express their opinions.
Scorsese looked at Allen next to him: "Go and inform people."
Eren got up and left the audition room and walked toward the dressing room.
Thomas saw her and stood up.
Bruce knocked on the door, and Martin came out of the dressing room.
Not only Martin, but also Mene, Allen's favorite, came out at the same time.
Allen quietly nodded to Mene, then walked towards Martin with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, you have won the role of Colin Sullivan!"
“Yes!” Thomas waved his fist vigorously.
Martin came up to shake hands and thanked: "Thank you! Thank you, Director Allen."
"You're welcome." Allen specifically reminded: "One thing, go back and study the characters and scripts carefully. Don't watch the original movie, and don't be affected by the original version, because what we are shooting and producing is a completely different style of work."
Martin said solemnly: "I remember."
At this time, there were footsteps on the other side, and Matt Damon led two people into the corridor.
Martin saw Damon, and Damon saw Martin.
Damon walked towards Allen: "Hi, Director Allen." Martin turned around and went back to the dressing room to remove his makeup.
Damon exchanged greetings with Allen and subconsciously turned his head to look at Martin, only to meet another pair of eyes.
The owner of those eyes was looking behind him.
Possibly due to the body's stress protection response, Damon stretched out his belly and shrank his buttocks, which was so flat that it was almost impossible to see it.
Bruce was bored, looked away, and sat back on the bench by the door.
Thomas watched Damon go to another dressing room and clapped his fist: "Martin will definitely catch up with him!"
Bruce feels that if Matt Damon is not as bad as Martin, he will definitely be caught up.
Soon, the makeup artist left, and Martin came out, hugged Bruce, Thomas and Jessica one by one, and said, "Thank you each and every one of you!"
This is true. He alone would not have been able to get this role.
The deciding factor in an audition is not just in the audition room, and the key to an actor's success is not just the actor himself.
This is a team win.
Before noon, Mene's audition results came out.
Uncle Mene licked the casting director to his core, and the audition was just a formality, and he successfully got the role, a black policeman who follows Colin Sullivan.
It's not now, and Frank's Irish gang will certainly not include black people.
The only people who can use Mene are those on the police side.
At noon, Martin called Emily who was busy in the wanted studio, plus Thomas, Bruce and Mene, and he invited them to have lunch together.
This is also his team in Los Angeles.
Martin specially toasted everyone: "I was able to win the role on the crew of The Departed. Each of your work is crucial. We are a team. This is a team victory. Thank you to each of you!"
Bruce took the lead, and everyone clinked glasses with Martin.
When the meal was served, Martin said again: "Everyone does whatever you want."
Thomas was not in a hurry to start eating, and specifically reminded: "I won't talk about the crew of "Wanted Order", that is your project, you can only bully others. When you get to the crew of "The Departed Walker", you have to pay more attention, Matt Damon may not be the same Other ideas, Leonardo is not easy to get along with, there is another person you should focus on. "
Martin can hear these words. The level of quarrel between Hollywood male actors is far less than that of female actors, but it is not without fierce fights.
Thomas specifically named one person: "80% of the time the villain will be played by Jack Nicholson. This guy is famously difficult to play."
Martin nodded and asked: "I know, he is famous for his bad temper. Because the car in front was blocking the road, he smashed the window glass of someone's car with a club, which cost him $500,000."
Meine asked: "I heard that he slept with 2,000 women in Hollywood?"
Thomas simply answered: "Nicholson, Marlon Brando and Warren Beatty are known as the three major playboys in Hollywood, and they are worthy of their name."
Meine is fascinated: “When I am over 60 years old, I don't know if I will have so many.”
Bruce then added: “There aren't that many female casting directors in Hollywood, right?”
Martin had another drink with everyone and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to coexist peacefully with others."
Bruce was immediately alert, guessing that the crew would be busy when they arrived.
With Martin, I have experienced enough bad things, and Lao Bu is not afraid. Isn't it about messing with people or being messed with? He has rich experience.
Having dinner, Martin gave Thomas a few words before leaving, asking him to collect some relevant information about Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson.
“Don't worry, I'm not trying to cause trouble.” He reassured Thomas: “It's just in case.”
Thomas had no choice but to believe.
As for Jack Nicholson, what Martin remembers most in his past life is not the movie, but Meryl Streep's cheating partner, and Jennifer Lawrence's initiative to seek shallowness in order to get a higher position.
After he came over, he found that Hollywood didn't care about this. Similar gossips and rumors were basically true.
After auditioning for The Departed, Martin also auditioned for Wanted.
The difference is that in the former he is an actor, in the latter he is one of the people with decision-making power.
In the audition room of Wanted, in addition to Louise, Martin, Leterrier and the casting director, there were also several well-connected people.
The professional quality of these connections was obviously not high, and they whispered from time to time during the audition process.
While the actors were coming in and out, Martin asked Louise: "Where are they from?"
Louise said: "The people arranged by Warner Bros. and the Screen Actors Guild are routine procedures."
Martin called Jessica over: "Go find four handheld phones and give them to those four people."
Jessica worked neatly and neatly. Before the next actor entered the audition room, she found four mobile phones and sent them to the relevant parties.
The professional quality of the four related households has skyrocketed, and they are playing games steadily without talking too much.
Martin understood that during the auditions, the professional quality of the partners and the contacts sent by the Screen Actors Guild to supervise them on a routine basis was closely related to the game console.
The crew of Wanted has signed Morgan Freeman to star as the villain.
Other actors are being recruited one after another.
In addition, both Martin and Angelina Jolie needed stunt doubles, and the latter directly contacted the actor who served as Jolie's stunt double in "Tomb Raider 2".
On Martin's side, he called the three stunt doubles from "The Mountain Has Eyes". Bald Buck and Lewis had suitable schedules and remuneration, and they also joined the crew.
At the same time, Thomas and The Departed have negotiated Martin's salary, which is only one-tenth of the first protagonist Leonardo, which is US$2 million.
Except for the low pay, in other aspects he is treated like an absolute protagonist.
