America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 350 348. What did you eat when you grew up? So anxious!

"Wow! Eric Cooper, why is he here?"

"He's a producer, right?"

"No, I know he is the chief producer, but a super rich guy like him is so busy every day that he actually has time to attend interviews?"

"Who knows, but it's a great opportunity and as long as it gets Eric Cooper's approval, it will definitely skyrocket."

“Think about Ryan Reynolds, Michael Fassbender, Tom Hardy, Chris Evans, all the new guys he’s promoting are going to be popular.”

"Relax! When you say that, I suddenly feel so nervous."

Click!

"Come out, why is it Tom Welling? He must have come to the wrong set."

Tom Welling passed by at this time, happened to hear the conversation, and couldn't help but smile.

"I know what you're thinking, man. Superman actually came to audition for Aquaman. This seems too inconsistent."

"But what can I do? The promotion for the new Superman is already here, and Henry Cavill has obviously been recognized by a lot of people."

"What about you? How did the audition go?"

Tom Welling hesitated for a moment: "It depends on the attitude of the interviewer. I have to go, and I have to attend the interview for Green Lantern. Come on, man."

"Well, after I auditioned for Aquaman, I also have to audition for the Wonder Woman cast."

"Which role are you going to audition for?"

"The leading actor Steve Trev, I have been working out like crazy this month."

"Then wish us success."

"you also?"

"Yes, after I finish here, I have to go to Marvel for an interview."

Inside the audition room, Eric took the time to come over today to check on the situation.

For such a large layout, I, as the chief designer, still have to show my face at the right time.

Although Judy, James Wan, and Kevin Feige report their work progress to themselves at least once a week.

But experience tells me that always sitting in the office is far less clear than going to the front line for field research.

But when he saw that the person who came in through the door was Tobey Maguire, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Toby, why are you here?"

Tobey Maguire was also surprised when he saw Eric, thinking about the news he heard yesterday that he was not among the interviewers.

"I'm here to interview, interview Arthur Curry."

"You? You want to audition for Aquaman? Spider-Man auditions for Aquaman?"

Tobey Maguire nodded: "I'm not here to make a joke. I really plan to audition for Aquaman, or other roles."

"Actually, I often watch The Flash. I like Barry Allen, and I have also submitted an application there."

Next to him, Zack Snyder tilted his head: "Boss, you underestimated the appeal of our movie to actors."

"It looks like it is. This is a role that can be played for ten years. So let's start Toby."

After a line was finished, the interviewers, including Eric, all nodded.

More than ten years of acting experience is nothing to brag about. Although he became famous thanks to Spider-Man, his basic skills are indeed very solid.

However, no matter how solid the basic skills are, it will not work when it comes to applying makeup.

Too thin, and the height of 175cm is really nothing to praise.

Although the Aquaman in comics and animation is not a muscular man, he can only be said to be a strong man, but he still doesn't match up with Tobey Maguire.

Seeing him and recalling the movies in his memory always gave Eric the feeling of Heng Chao VS Cage Chao.

Finally, Eric shook hands with the other person: "You are great Toby, I like your performance, we will seriously consider it."

Tobey Maguire also saw that the effect was not satisfactory, but it doesn't matter, he believes that he is more suitable for The Flash.

The assistant casting director went to continue calling people, and Eric looked at Zack Snyder: "Zach, what do you think Aquaman should look like?"

Zack Snyder shook his head slightly: "According to the setting of the New 52, ​​Arthur should be a handsome blond boy, handsome and strong."

"But we have already made changes to Superman and Wonder Woman, so there is no need to follow the comics exactly."

"But I don't think Tobey Maguire is suitable. His Spider-Man is too deeply rooted in people's hearts and is too easy to play."

Eric agreed. Schneider has a good eye for casting and has solid skills in aesthetics, camerawork, and lighting.

If it weren't for his poor business acumen, using him as a trader would actually be a good choice.

Squeak!

The door was pushed open and the next interviewer walked in.

The moment he saw him, Eric suddenly felt like he was out of place in time and space.

Because the person who came was none other than Jason Momoa, and what Eric couldn't figure out was that this guy actually looked similar to what he would look like more than ten years later.

Can you imagine?

When a person is less than 30 years old, he already looks like a person in his fifties.

What did you eat growing up? So anxious!

The reason why he did not finalize the actor for Aquaman was because he considered that Jason Momoa was too young and did not have the temperament, so auditions were needed.

But now it seems that it is no longer needed.

Somewhat nervously, I talked about my resume. It has been 7 years since I debuted, but I only played small roles.

“The role I’m going to audition for is Arthur Curry, and of course that’s what my agent decided.”

"Other than being physically strong, I feel like I'm far from Aquaman. At least I'm not blond."

"But I can audition for other roles, and Blackbat Squirt is great too. Please give me a chance, director."

Eric and Zack Snyder looked at each other carefully, and then looked at each other.

"Let him try."

"Well, hair color is not the point, come on Jason, let's act out a scene."

"I'll play Mera, are you ready?"

Jason Momoa nodded hurriedly: "Of course, of course, I've been preparing for a long time."

Zack Snyder coughed a few times, deliberately pinched his throat and said sharply: "Arthur, you are the son of Queen Atlanna, you are the king of the sea."

Seeing him like this, Eric couldn't help but chuckle a few times.

Jason Momoa didn't dare to laugh, and his expression was impatient: "I don't know what Atlanna is, I'm the son of a tower keeper, don't bother me!"

The two of them talked back and forth, and finished two dialogues in a few minutes, and performed well.

"Very good, tone, expression, action, eyes, it seems that you have really studied the role seriously." Eric praised.

Jason Momoa's self-confidence increased significantly: "Mr. Cooper, I actually think I have another advantage."

"What?"

"I was a member of the school team in high school, which gave me a strong body. I studied marine biology and wildlife in college."

"I dare not say that I am proficient, but at least I know a lot about many creatures in the sea."

"Do you like the sea?" Zack Snyder asked.

"Yes, I have a lot of fish at home."

"Not bad, let's try the styling."

The makeup artist and prop master began to play, and Eric simply directed himself.

Take off the shirt to show the muscles, give him a trident, draw thicker eyebrows, mess up his hair, and blow it up.

After more than half an hour, the actors queuing outside were all anxious.

This is not a good sign. The guy inside is obviously very popular.

At this moment, Jason Momoa walked out with a brisk pace and waved to the buddies who had just chatted: "Come on, good luck to you!"
