As a project proposed by Simon himself, "Desperate Housewives" does not need to go through the complicated and bumpy operation process such as pilot marketing, and is directly set in the golden schedule of usa TV network this fall.

However, although the production time is very loose, the preparation of the project is still very fast.

After Simon arranged it, the Wisteria Street set plan planned to be built in Universal Studios was soon released. After returning to Los Angeles from San Francisco, the TV department sent a shortlist of main actors to Simon.

The status of TV dramas in Hollywood in this era is still very low, and the same is true of TV actors, who are basically at the bottom of the Hollywood contempt chain.

If it is a project of an ordinary TV network, it is usually difficult to cause much repercussions in the circle, especially for a cable network project with a small audience base.

However, when "Desperate Housewives" was associated with Simon Westeros, the show immediately attracted a lot of qualified Hollywood actresses, and even actresses who had been in the movie circle began to try to get the role.

After all, this is Simon Westeros.

Simon's several hit reality shows during the 1988 Hollywood writers' strike directly ushered in an era of reality TV. Now, although it is a cable network, although it is a TV series, who knows if this will create a trend?

As a key project of Daenerys Entertainment and TV department, the main actors of the series will not be cast on a large scale, but will directly select actors with suitable images and qualifications from the artist profiles submitted by major brokerage companies for small-scale casting. audition.

Daenerys Studios, a dedicated audition room in Office Building 1, Administrative District.

There are no auditions, and Simon's casting director, Linda Vargas, is showing Simon through a projector the candidates for the main role after the first round of selection.

On the writing board on the wall on one side of the audition room, the staff also made a detailed character map of the play based on the script provided by Simon.

"There are five candidates for Lynette Scalvo: Patricia Wendy, 41, who won the Emmy for three consecutive years with MGM's 'Thirty Standing' Post title, the show just ended last year; Sanda Bergman, 41, the actress who previously competed for the role of Queen Hippolyta in Wonder Woman, debuted in the 1970s and starred in too many roles TV series; Katherine Harold…”

One of the things Simon likes most about Linda Vargas is that the casting director never actively tries to sway his decisions. And, every project she's in charge of casting results up to Simon's standards.

Therefore, since "Lola Run" was introduced to cooperate with Simon, this shrewd and capable behind-the-scenes actress in her thirties has been Simon's royal director.

For projects that Simon personally follows, casting matters will be watched by Linda Vargas herself.

Even though he now follows up on castings for some projects himself, Simon tends to only focus on the last round or two. For this reason, Linda Vargas has a lot of power, even though she doesn't have a very specific role at Daenerys Entertainment.

Obviously, if the actor wants to win the role of Simon to follow up the project, Linda Vargas can't get around it. If the lady wants to suppress a star, unless the other party has enough strength to get in touch with Simon directly , otherwise, don't even think about having a bright future.

After Linda Vargas introduced the five candidates in turn, she turned to look at Simon, who was casually sitting at the conference table with his legs crossed, looking at the information on the projection screen.

From the original "Lola Run," watching the young man who turned 24 last month soared into the sky, Linda Vargas still feels a little fantastic.

Speaking of which, Linda Vargas was just a nobody in Hollywood.

At first, I wanted to be an actor, but although this skin is not bad, I haven't made any progress in the past few years, so I decided to marry.

Her husband, Joey Vargas, also belongs to this circle, because her parents have some connections in Hollywood, and they are better than her.

Of course, only a little better.

Said to be a producer, in fact, he is only wandering in the low-cost independent film circle, doing various errands and errands under the title of producer.

It's not easy to maintain a decent life in Los Angeles.

Because the economy is not rich, she naturally cannot be a full-time housewife after marriage. She uses some contacts in her hand to form a husband and wife team with her husband to do various behind-the-scenes work in the low-cost independent film circle.

Until six years ago, I inadvertently got a job as a casting director for a low-budget solo film.

That movie happened to be "Lola Run".

When "Lola Run" became a blockbuster, she gradually became Simon Westeros's royal casting director.

It has been six years in the blink of an eye.

During this period, of course, there were also opportunities to change careers. Wma invited her to the position of vice president. Paramount, Fox and Warner Bros. have all had contact with her in private, and department executives and film producers seemed to be readily available.

In the end they chose to refuse.

She is very aware of her abilities, and she is not as swollen as Ron McMillan who walked out of "Lola Run" together. She has always understood in her heart that it is the wisest decision to follow the pace of this young man.

Now, although there is no clear position, what she enjoys in Daenerys Entertainment is actually the salary package of the vice president.

It is equivalent to a full-time assistant in Simon's personal film and television casting.

The basic annual salary of $250,000 plus the generous dividends every year is a good thing she never thought about when she took over the job of "Lola Run".

Hollywood filmmakers always give outsiders the impression of being paid tens of millions at every turn, but in fact, there is no such lucky part in Hollywood.

Hollywood in a broad sense, that is, the entire film and television entertainment industry in the United States, has more than one million practitioners.

Compared with such a huge practitioner base, most people in the circle are already satisfied with having a well-paid job.

What's more, Linda Vargas is very aware of the hidden power in her hands.

In recent years, most of the stars who have been popular with Simon can be said to have been handled by her casting director.

Because of this kind of power, she is treated in this circle no less than the head of any studio. The high-end party and cocktail club at the top of the Hollywood pyramid is open to her, and her husband is also because of her. With the power, he has become a truly powerful filmmaker, and has participated in many film projects including Daenerys Entertainment's films in recent years.

When her youngest son reached elementary school age last year, and the couple hadn't moved yet, Michael Ovitz of CAA called and asked them if they were interested in sending their child to one of the top private schools in Beverly Hills.

The couple knew that school, and the recruits were usually only for a small number of real powerful children on the West Coast, and even the average wealthy person might not be able to send their children there.

Although she politely rejected Ovitz's somewhat unkind favor, Linda Vargas once again firmed up her idea of ​​holding on to the job.

If you want to keep this job, the first thing you have to do is to stick to the professional standards that a casting director should have.

After working for Simon for so many years, Linda Vargas has gradually come to appreciate the personality of this young man. Most of the time, his own boss seems to be very talkative, but once he touches some red lines of the other party, there is no room for manoeuvre at all.

Therefore, for six years, despite receiving numerous requests, Linda Vargas rarely mixed her selfishness in the casting process.

However, by inadvertently revealing her boss's innocuous personal inclinations to some celebrities, or informing the casting results of some projects in advance, or even through some verbal hints that she actually 'contributed', she unknowingly She has gained countless favors, and there is no doubt in the circle that she can influence the casting results.

The higher the position, the more Simon understands the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish. As long as it doesn't affect the work that he should do, he doesn't care what kind of private Xiaojiu his subordinates will hit.

At the beginning, Ron Macmillan, who participated in the production of "Lola Run", was kicked out of Daenerys Entertainment. On the one hand, the filmmaker's actions had affected his own work, and on the other hand, it was also to kill chickens and set an example. A warning to other executives who are complacent about Daenerys Entertainment's rapid growth.

Ignoring what Linda Vargas was thinking when he looked at him, Simon just motioned to the staff next to him to play the audition videos of the five candidates one after another, and then asked Linda Vargas who was sitting on the other side of the conference table. Gus Dao: "How tall is Sanda Bergman?"

Last time I met during the casting process of "Wonder Woman", this time the casting of "Desperate Housewives" also received a call from Sanda Bergman.

Of course, Linda Vargas still did not release the water, and the shortlist was selected by the entire casting team based on the comprehensive conditions of the actors.

In Linda's view, Sanda Bergman's height is a 'failure', not too short, but too tall.

The dancer-turned-star is a whopping six feet tall. The six-foot height is actually very suitable for the role of Queen Hippolyta. The requirement of the Amazon female warrior is to be tall.

However, this time, for a housewife who was physically and mentally exhausted by the family's children, the height of six feet was somewhat out of place.

Linda Vargas thought so, but said without any hesitation: "Six feet exactly."

Six feet, equivalent to 182cm.

A woman of 1.82 meters is really too tall.

Even if the audition video just played is good, and the appearance and temperament are more suitable for Lynette, when playing with other characters, the composition of the picture is often very inconsistent.

After making up his mind, Simon shook his head and said: "Forget Sanda Bergman, the other four, Patricia Wendy as the first candidate, and when the other roles are released, they are arranging a group audition, if there is no problem, she will be already."

After three consecutive Emmy Awards, her acting reputation is enough. This actress is not very beautiful in appearance, and with a little make-up, it fully fits Lynette's image of being physically and mentally exhausted under the ravages of family life.

Linda Vargas lowered her head and wrote down Simon's decision on the memo, confirming that her boss had no other problems, and continued: "Next is 'Perfect Housewife' Bree Van Dikan."

Having said that, the information of the actors appeared on the projector screen again.

When Simon saw the photo of Linda Carter on the first page, he said directly: "Linda Carter can't do it, she lacks a strong and tough temperament."

and.

The breasts are too large and can easily distract the audience.

Linda Vargas was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Boss, don't you need to watch the audition video?"

now that

Of course, it is the selected candidate, and the audition effect is definitely guaranteed.

It's just that the image of Linda Carter and Marcia Cross in memory is too different. Even if there was an overnight love, Simon chose to pass mercilessly.

For women who have had a relationship with him, unless the other party is really suitable, Simon would rather give the other party a check for $1 million than stuff it into an inappropriate project.

Shaking her head again, Linda Vargas had no choice but to move on to the next candidate.

Neither of the subsequent two could satisfy Simon.

Until the fourth, seeing the information of Sheila Ward, Simon made a direct decision.

Although she has also slept, Sela Ward is more suitable for the role of Brei Van Dikan than Marcia Cross in terms of appearance and temperament.

After all, the memory of Marcia Cross's apparently overdose face of Botox still makes people feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Sheila Ward's appearance and temperament are completely natural.

After Lynette and Bree, the other two housewives, Susan and Gabriel, were also tentatively finalized.

Because it is a heroine movie, Simon only cares about the candidates for the four core housewives, the women's husbands and other roles. Simon will only pay attention to the final result.

Busy with all kinds of things, unknowingly another week has passed.

Simon flew to New York on Friday, March 6.

Because Cersei Capital has accumulated a lot of things during her pregnancy, Janet has been on the East Coast for the last week, and Simone came to spend the weekend with the woman.

Inside the estate in Greenwich, New York.

The time is Saturday morning.

The East Coast has lost its winter chill in March.

Simon had just had breakfast with Janet when Joseph Schlapp of Schlapp Consulting came to visit.

Entering March 1992, the four-yearly U.S. presidential election has officially kicked off.

The two major political parties in the United States, incumbent President George Bush, are sure to be eligible for the Republican nomination.

On the Democratic side, major candidates such as Arkansas Gov. William Clinton and New York Gov. Marlo Gummer have all surfaced, starting a back-and-forth fight for the Democratic nomination.

However, what the North American media pays the most attention these days is the billionaire Ross Perot, who announced his participation in this year's presidential election as a third-party independent candidate.

In late February, in a live interview with CNN's Larry King, Ross Perot publicly announced that he would officially run as an independent candidate this year if he could get enough voter signatures from all fifty states and Washington, D.C. US presidential election.

Since last year, Ross Perot has publicly stated more than once that he will participate in this year's presidential election.

According to the U.S. Election Law, an independent candidate who wants to run for election must obtain a certain number of voter signatures in each U.S. state in order to qualify for the candidacy.

Therefore, compared with the previous statements, this public call for signatures announced the official launch of Ross Perot's candidacy.

The U.S. stock market has recovered since the Gulf War last year, but the U.S. economy is at its lowest point since the 1987 stock market crash and the last bond crisis.

In addition to winning a war with the outside world, the results of George Bush's three years in power as president have really disappointed voters. Coupled with the fact that several candidates in the Democratic Party are somewhat weak, Ross Perot's candidacy has caused a lot of confusion. Lots of interest from voters who are very disappointed in both parties.

Therefore, after participating in the CNN interview at the end of February, in less than half a month, Ross Perot has collected enough voter signatures in 29 states in the United States.

Obviously, it's only a matter of time before Ross Perot collects enough signatures in all fifty states and Washington, D.C.

Because Ross Perot's personal political leanings are biased towards conservatives similar to the Republican Party, if he runs for election, he will certainly dilute the votes that George Bush deserves. As a result, as Ross Perot began to collect signatures from voters, under the impetus of some undercurrents, many media began to observe everything about Ross Perot with a magnifying glass, and a large number of public opinion attacks followed.

Some people always think that the power of the US president is not great, and he has to be restrained by Congress, and he is often attacked by the media. The head of state of a great power, the president of the United States, is definitely a 'job' that pays the least and can get the most power.

Because the threshold is not too high, the effort is small enough, and the power is large enough, the competition will naturally be extremely fierce.

In order to win the election, the candidates and the forces behind them are completely omniscient during the election process.

Although Ross Perot is a billionaire, he has also experienced fierce market games in the process of starting from scratch. However, the rich man is still a white man in politics, and the billionaire shows a tendency to be unstoppable after all parties and discussions have combined punches.
