Hollywood Director 1992

"Hello, Mr. Phoenix, this is Guessing Game Pictures. Congratulations, you passed the audition for the 'Death' crew."

"Yes!!"

Before the person on the other end of the phone could finish, Joaquin Phoenix jumped up from the sofa excitedly and waved his fist in the air.

"Joaquin, what happened?"

Matt Damon, Edward Norton, Casey Affleck, and Ben Affleck looked at him in surprise.

"Haha, I passed the audition."

Joaquin Phoenix laughed a few times, picked up the phone and said, "Sorry, Madam, I'm too excited, please continue."

"Okay, Mr. Phoenix, congratulations on getting the main role 'Todd' in the 'Death' project. If you have no objection to playing this role, please come to the 'Death' project office of Guessing Game Pictures within three days to discuss the role. If you do not respond within three days, it will be regarded as a voluntary abandonment of the role."

"Okay, I'll come to sign the contract tomorrow."

Joaquin Phoenix replied happily.

The others became nervous when they heard that it was Guessing Game Pictures calling with the audition notice.

This call meant that the main cast of the 'Death' project had been decided. From now on, the person who received the call succeeded in the audition, and the person who didn't receive the call meant failure. No one wanted to fail.

"I heard that the movie company's notices are in order, first to the main character, then to the supporting roles. Now that Joaquin, a supporting role, has received the call, does it mean that we have no chance?"

Casey Affleck asked.

Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Edward Norton frowned.

Joaquin Phoenix looked at the three of them and continued to say to the phone, "Madam, are Edward Norton, Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck among the people you need to notify? If so, please tell me directly, they are right next to me."

The three looked at him nervously.

"Joaquin, what about me? You forgot to mention me."

Casey Affleck jumped up and pointed excitedly at his nose.

Joaquin Phoenix said thank you, hung up the phone, and said to the four of them, "The staff said it's not convenient to say. If you pass the audition, they will call you later."

Didi Didi~

As soon as he finished speaking, Edward Norton's pager rang.

"Quick, look, is it a call from Guessing Game Pictures?"

"It's a Los Angeles number, but I'm not sure if it is."

"It must be, hurry up and call back to ask."

Joaquin stuffed the mobile phone into Edward's hand.

Edward Norton called back according to the number above. After the call was connected, he kept nodding and saying "uh-huh" several times, and the corners of his mouth turned higher and higher.

"It must be a call from Guessing Game Pictures."

Casey Affleck leaned on Edward's shoulder.

"Okay, thank you for your call, I will come to Guessing Game Pictures to sign the contract as soon as possible."

Edward Norton hung up the phone.

"What role is it?"

"Is it the male lead?"

The others looked at him curiously.

"No, the male supporting role, Carter."

Edward Norton said with a smile.

"Carter is also good, Carter is the second male lead."

Matt Damon said.

"I thought you would get the male lead. If it wasn't you, who would it be?"

Joaquin Phoenix asked.

"Maybe it's Matt or Ben. The actors who went to the audition that time were all very good."

"Ben and I are impossible. The male lead is a high school student, we are not suitable."

Matt Damon said.

Ring ring!

Matt Damon's mobile phone rang. After 'The Blair Witch Project' sold well, he and Ben received an extra reward of $50,000. Including the salary, they earned more than $60,000.

After receiving the reward, both of them bought the latest Motorola phones.

Matt Damon answered the phone. The staff of Guessing Game Pictures told him that he had gotten a small supporting role, Todd's brother, with a few lines.

The staff asked him if he was interested in playing the role.

Matt Damon agreed without hesitation. Although this role didn't have many scenes, being able to play a role in Link's new movie was also a good opportunity.

"Matt, what role is it?"

"Your brother."

"Haha, we look quite alike. You look more like my brother than River."

Joaquin Phoenix leaned on Matt Damon and laughed.

They both had golden-brown hair, freckles on their faces, and weren't very handsome, so they did look a bit alike.

Matt smiled and looked at the silent Ben Affleck, "Be patient, your phone will ring."

Ben Affleck shrugged, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't, I don't care."

"The male lead hasn't been decided yet, maybe it's you."

"Whatever, I'll act if I can, and it doesn't matter if I can't. I don't lack roles."

Ben Affleck leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, and smiled with a look of indifference.

"Yes, Ben has a good appearance, and he is very famous now. You can pass the audition by just randomly finding a crew to audition for."

Joaquin Phoenix said.

Ring ring!

Ben Affleck's phone suddenly rang.

Hearing the ringtone, Ben's body visibly trembled, and he subconsciously made a move to pick up the phone, but seeing the people around him, he slowed down his movements.

"Ben, it's yours, hurry up and answer it."

The others urged.

"Don't worry, take your time."

Ben Affleck shook his foot, nonchalantly answered the phone, listened to a few sentences, his face collapsed, and he stuffed the phone to Casey Affleck.

"Yours!"

"Mine? I passed the audition too?"

The little transparent Casey Affleck excitedly answered the phone. The staff of Guessing Game Pictures notified him that he had gotten the role of a classmate. If he was interested, please come to Guessing Game Pictures to sign the contract within three days.

"Yes, I do, I'll come tomorrow."

After Casey Affleck hung up the phone, he was also so excited that he couldn't help laughing out loud.

He was a pure newbie. Going to Guessing Game Pictures to participate in the audition before was completely a fluke. He didn't expect to receive a call from Guessing Game Pictures.

This is so wonderful.

After laughing a few times, he suddenly felt that the surroundings were too quiet. He turned his head and saw that his brother Ben's face was very bad, and the sky was overcast.

"Ben, don't worry, even I passed the audition, there must be yours too, yours is probably a little later."

Casey comforted.

"Shut up, who told you I'm in a hurry? I'm not in a hurry at all. I just went to the 'Death' audition to have fun, join in the fun, and didn't want to continue acting in Link's new movie. I'm a star now, I don't care about this kind of small role."

Ben Affleck said with a dark face.

Everyone heard that he was obviously angry, so they didn't say anything to stimulate him again.

After more than ten minutes, no phone rang in the booth, Ben Affleck's face became more and more gloomy, and the atmosphere in the booth became deserted, and a little embarrassing.

Joaquin Phoenix and Edward Norton exchanged glances and excused themselves to leave early.

Casey Affleck couldn't stand his brother's dead look either, so he caught up with Joaquin and said he would go to the bar next door to celebrate.
