Ace Hollywood

Peter Jackson has a pivotal position in the crew of "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy", serving as both director and producer. It also meant that he was very busy and would not have auditioned for such insignificant roles.

But the role of Faramir was unexpectedly favored. David Wenham from Australia fell in love with this role, and invited the Golden Globe actress Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett from the crew to be lobbyists. .

Australian actors are quite united and successful in Hollywood. Except for the above two, Geoffrey Rush, Russell Crowe, Guy Pierce, etc. are all from Australia. They are often willing to extend their acting career to Hollywood. Rookies offer opportunities.

David Wenham is also a well-known well-known actor in Australia. Of course, he is still penniless in Hollywood. This can also explain why he chose a small role in a big production like Faramir to start his journey in Hollywood.

Peter insisted on his control and understanding of the film, but he was not an unreasonable person. He decided to change his schedule to attend the audition this time. If Faramir's auditioners did not perform well, then let it go Favors are nothing.

But obviously, the highlight of the day was undoubtedly "Legolas," or Daniel Sandler.

Daniel is very lucky, there is really no background figure for this role, even Peter Jackson saw Orlando Bloom auditioning for Faramir, and had a little idea that he should also be very suitable for Legolas. , all without detracting from Peter's firmness in this role.

However, in the episode of Daniel's audition, everyone looked at each other meaningfully at the meeting, and didn't say anything.

The reason is simple, because Peter doesn't care.

Yes, he didn't care. After returning home, Peter and his wife and good friend Francis also said, "This is really a very poor strategy."

"But it's easy to use, isn't it?" Francis said playfully, passing the Cuban coffee to Peter by the way.

Cuban coffee couldn't be shipped directly to the US, so Francis lashed out at Peter a few times for this hobby.

"Yes, I just want a good work. As for those tricks, why not use them? Hiring people to lobby, find Universal, find new lines, etc., is it more noble than this? At least our Mr. Sandler is still Relying on myself."

In preparation for a much-anticipated film, as a director and producer, Peter received countless calls and emails every day, and he was already tired of them.

"Let's get into filming quickly."

In September, they will go to New Zealand. In the next year or longer, most of the filming of the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" will be completed there.

...

The contract for The Lord of the Rings Trilogy arrived at Cusa's mailbox.

Daniel handed over the clerical work completely to Cusa, and he himself is obsessed with the "Lord of the Rings" script, which is really an intoxicating world. Elves, dwarves, orcs, hobbits, Gandalf, Saruman, so huge and rich, magnificent and colorful. Compared with the original work, there are of course a large number of adaptations of the script. From the perspective of a film practitioner, the adaptations are basically very successful, and are more suitable for the art form of film. The heroism is particularly prominent, and the conflicts are dense and fascinating. Although he had read the original work many times, he was still attracted by this script.

He watched it for three days, and only signed his name on the contract.

By the way, I took a look at my salary, 70,000 US dollars!

This is actually a cheap price, but the actors in the crew are generally not paid well.

Even Cate Blanchett, who has just become famous in the film industry with "Elizabeth", only has two million dollars. Most of the other leading actors are not well-known, and the corresponding ones are cheap.

That was the choice of the producer and director, namely Peter Jackson.

Big-name actors, or exquisite production?

Peter Jackson is obviously very confident in this project, he has no intention of inviting any big stars, and the story and the movie itself can conquer the audience.

Facts have proved that he is not wrong, the total investment of the three films is less than 300 million.

That's a bargain for a magical special effects movie, especially for what it's achieved.

"You haven't forgotten what you should do most." Kusa looked at the script marked with many words, "Now I have more confidence in our future."

"Kusa, have you noticed that your greetings are very unnatural."

"Oh, really? Except for you, I haven't heard such an evaluation. You know, I am an agent with outstanding ability, and speaking skills are a compulsory course for me."

"hehe."

"Your laughter is really annoying, okay." Kusa handed Daniel a newspaper that he brought, which was a copy of the Los Angeles Entertainment News.

Daniel pouted, "This is not an easy newspaper to buy."

Of course he was mocking Kusa for finding a newspaper he had never heard of.

"Although it's not well-known, Daniel, this is the first time you've had a small section in a newspaper." Kusa pointed him, "The bottom right of the fourth page. Look, there are two more photos."

"How does it feel?"

In fact, Daniel didn't feel anything special. After all, it wasn't really the first time he appeared in the newspaper. Although as Daniel, yes. Of course, it is not without feelings, but it is too far away from Kusa's expectations.

"Hey, how about getting excited, buddy."

Daniel laughed suddenly, he remembered what the owner of Claire's hot dog shop said.

"Kusa, if you talk about the remuneration of my next contract at 100,000 yuan, of course, it's not "Lord of the Rings", which will take more than a year to shoot, then I will be very excited."

"Oh, you are so worldly."

"Extraordinary Cusa, now let me see what this great paper has written about me."

It has to be said that disadvantaged groups in every industry have their own way of survival. For example, the editor of this newspaper is very good at grabbing information. Kusa just built his own IMDB actor homepage for him, and the photos on it are of course photos taken in the studio.

The promotional materials of "School Blues" have also been online. Of course, Fox will hold a premiere ceremony, but the scale will not be too large. The main purpose is to invite film critics to warm up the film. There are still three months before the summer vacation, so it is more appropriate to start now.

The reporter of this entertainment tabloid discovered Daniel's fitness results so quickly. As he said in the report, "At first, I couldn't believe that these two were the same person. Maybe the IMDB link was wrong, but When you look at it carefully with a magnifying glass, you can be sure that they are indeed the same person, and then my exclamation made my colleague almost fall off the stool."

The report put the two photos together, and the contrast was too sharp.

Daniel cheerfully put down the newspaper, "I hope people won't think I'm an impostor when it's released, and it will cause an uproar."

Kusa looked at the two people who seemed to be completely different in the newspaper, then looked at Daniel's face, and gradually fell into silence.
