Hollywood Drawing

"Bruce Wayne's equipment must be mainly black, and the whole body must have that indestructible texture."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wayne sat in the conference room with Wicks Hart, the prop team representative, and Brooks Carter, the representative sent by Industrial Light and Magic, and began to make his demands with them.

Especially Wicks-Hart, the representative of the props team. This is their first time working together, and some requirements must be stated up front to avoid miscommunication that ultimately leads to inappropriate props.

The prop master nodded and then asked: "How does the material like Kevlar feel? The texture of this material performs very well in the lens and can definitely meet your requirements."

"No problem, you can make a set of samples as soon as possible and show them to me. If they are suitable, we will start mass production."

Wayne just made a request and let the other party make these props however he wanted, as long as they could meet his shooting requirements.

This prop group was recommended by Tim Burton and Warner Bros. He is not worried about their abilities. These prop masters have long-term cooperative relationships with large companies and can be completely trusted.

"And this." He picked up the designed Batmobile artwork. “I designed this myself, and I don’t have high requirements for it. As long as it can start and drive normally, and can handle the performance in front of the camera, that’s enough.

But one thing to note is that I don’t care if you make subtle changes or not. It must have a sense of technology and science fiction, but it must not be too divorced from reality and look fake at first glance. This thing is definitely one of the things that movie fans are looking forward to. one. "

Wicks-Hart took the design drawing and looked at it carefully with a frown. After about dozens of seconds, he asked tentatively: "There is no need to consider other things, such as comfort and reasonableness. We only need to consider the shooting effect, right?”

"Yes, to put it bluntly, what we want is just a look, but this look must be perfect in front of the camera!"

"Okay, that's no problem!"

The prop master stroked the design drawing and said with a smile: "I will try to design one first. If you can confirm it after seeing it, I will make the remaining ones and everything will follow this process. Is it okay?"

"No problem." Wayne nodded, turned to look at Brooks Carter, and talked to him about the special effects requirements for the model.

These simple things were not a problem for Industrial Light and Magic. The other party fully agreed to his request and guaranteed that it could be completed before the filming of the film started.

Things were simpler than Wayne imagined. After telling these professionals what he wanted, they were ready to go back and start working.

However, as the work on "The Return of the Clown" gradually came to an end, his focus gradually returned to this film. Even another round of auditions for Bruce Wayne were hosted by Tim Burton and Schwartz.

Adding a small amount of CG scenes of Bill's brother, calling in several main actors to add some dubbing, and confirming the addition of a soundtrack, he will personally participate in every task to ensure that the final film meets his expectations.

After more than half a month of busy work, the film finally met Wayne's requirements. He was very satisfied with the progress of the work during this period, especially Zack Snyder, who shared too many scattered tasks and saved him money. plenty of time.

Warner Bros. has also begun to gradually start the promotion of its new film. Trailers, movie posters, and promotional soft articles in various media are slowly appearing.

After the film was completely produced, it went through an internal preview by the company's film viewing experts, and passed the final review by Warner Bros., and was ready to start a preview screening for film critics and media in advance.

This kind of test screening is mainly aimed at film critics and theater movie theater representatives. The former group of people will ensure professional reputation before the film is released, while the latter group of people will determine the scale of "The Return of the Clown".

But this again has nothing to do with Wayne, and all the work is thrown to Warner Bros.

He had just finished all production of "The Return of the Clown" and brought Zack Snyder and others back to Warner Bros. Studio to prepare for Bruce Wayne's audition.

The selection of the leading actor in the film has come to an end. Tim Burton means that he should confirm the candidate as soon as possible and leave ample time for the actor's training.

Returning to the studio studio again, in a makeshift audition room, Wayne and Tim Burton sat at the very back. Different from the previous simple audition, there was a director's monitor on the table in front of them.

All the movements and expressions of the audition actors will be clearly transmitted to the monitor through the camera being filmed.

Everyone in the audition room kept their mouths shut, the room was extremely quiet, and there was a strong man in front of the camera who had just finished performing a temporary literary drama.

Neither Wayne nor Tim Burton spoke, their eyes fixed on the screen. The actor's image on the screen looks very resolute, with a tough facial expression and a very masculine feel.

Relatively speaking, the figure must have been deliberately exercised. Through the relatively tight clothes, you can be sure that this is not a ****."

"Mr. Affleck," said Schwartz, who was sitting behind the camera in front: "Please take off your shirt and show your body to the camera."

This was not the first time such a request had been made. It had happened in previous auditions, and Schwartz was the one who presided over the auditions each time. So the actor nodded and took off his jacket and T-shirt without hesitation, revealing the angular muscles of his upper half.

Tim Burton deliberately leaned his upper body forward, looked closely at the monitor, tilted his head and glanced at the actor in front of the camera, and said softly to Wayne:

"This is the guy with the best physical foundation I have ever seen. His muscles may not meet your requirements for a strong man, but he has a very solid physical foundation. I think after training with professionals, he can fully meet the requirements of the film. .”

"This is already one of the best." Schwartz turned around and whispered. "Only a few of these young actors know how to manage their bodies so early."

"I understand." Wayne nodded slowly and did not express any other opinions.

But I mentally estimated the possibility of using him. There is not much problem with his acting skills. Even if he is a little green, he is still the type that can be trained. It can be seen that this actor is very self-disciplined about himself.

With such actors, there will be basically no surprises when working together. They will be the director's favorite type of people.

The actor also saw their exchange, stopped what he was doing, and turned his attention to the director and producer who could decide the fate of his audition.

"Schwartz, continue."

Wayne waved his hand. He wanted to take a closer look at the opponent's performance and consider the gains and losses involved.

There are not many candidates left, and the closer it gets to the final stage of making a decision, the more cautious Wayne begins to become. Relatively speaking, this actor has quite an advantage now, especially in terms of physical appearance.

He is going to play Bruce Wayne, a character for whom the adjective "tough" comes to mind when the public hears his name. The stronger the body, the better.

If you look for a male vase like that in commercial movies, with a handsome face and an ordinary figure, the audience will probably be disappointed at the first sight, and the character will basically have no convincing character.

In Wayne's image design of Bruce Wayne, his figure must be comparable to the big-breasted beauty team, or stronger to be considered qualified.

As for the film's requirements for acting skills, he put them aside for consideration. There are too many tricks in this type of film. A simple bat mask can lower this requirement by two levels.

Moreover, he is not planning to use this film to win awards, and he does not expect the actors to have a breakthrough in acting. This is not a one-man show like "Joker", and that is never what the audience wants to see.

"Mr. Affleck."

After the actor's audition, Wayne broke the silence. "If the prerequisite for getting this role is to go through hard fitness for more than half a year, do you think you can do it?"

"Of course, Director Greenberg!" The excitement in the actor's eyes flashed away, and he answered with great joy.

Yes, it seems that he has made enough preparations. Wayne is also more optimistic about such serious and hard-working actors. He gradually has other plans in his mind. Different from what others in the room think, even if this actor does not get Bruce -Wayne, he fits other roles too.

He nodded, put the actor's resume aside, and said, "Ben Affleck, you can go back and wait for the notification. The audition results will be notified to your agent within three days at the latest."

"Thank you!" Ben Affleck smiled, bent down slightly, turned around, opened the door and walked out of the audition room.

Schwartz has been working with Wayne for the longest time. He knows in his heart that the actor named Ben Affleck is already very close to the leading actor position. As long as someone more suitable does not appear later, he will definitely be the first person. select.

The boring audition continued. Even though Wayne started to feel sleepy, he still insisted on observing every actor. This role was so important that he didn't dare to relax at all.

In order to participate in this round of auditions and decide on the lead actor as soon as possible, he has already turned down many work arrangements, even the test screening of "The Return of the Clown".

Until the last actor was left, Wayne slowly smiled while the other actor performed a short drama.

"Do you like him?"

Tim Burton remembered that this was the second time he asked this question, but seeing his partner’s smile, he asked again. "Where's that Mr. Affleck?"

"They are different. Let's talk about this after work!" Wayne said softly.
