Ace Hollywood

Chapter 15: In the newspaper?

Peter Jackson plays a pivotal role in the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" crew, serving as both director and producer. It also meant that he was very busy, and he would not have attended auditions for these insignificant roles.

But Faramir's role was unexpectedly favored, and David Wenham from Australia took a fancy to the role, and invited the Golden Globe actress Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett in the crew as lobbyists .

Australian actors are quite grouped and accomplished in Hollywood. Except for the above two, Geoffrey Rush, Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, etc. are all from Australia, and they are often willing to extend their acting careers to Hollywood. Rookies provide opportunities.

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

Peter insists on his control and understanding of the film, but he is not an unreasonable person. He is determined to change the schedule and come to this audition. If Faramir's auditioners can't perform well, then do it smoothly. Humanity is nothing.

But it was clear that the highlight of the day was undoubtedly "Legoras," or Daniel Sandler.

Daniel was very lucky that the role really didn't have any background characters, even if Peter Jackson had a little idea when he saw Orlando Bloom who auditioned for Faramir, he should be a good fit for Legolas. , without compromising Peter's firmness in this role.

However, during 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, Francis, who was also a good friend, said, "This is a really bad plan."

"But it works, doesn't it?" Francis said playfully, passing Peter the Cuban coffee.

Cuban coffee can't be shipped directly to the United States, so Peter's hobby led Francis to attack several times.

"Yes, I only want a good work. As for those tricks, why not use them? Asking people to lobby, find Universal, find new lines, etc., will it be nobler than this? At least our Mr. **** is still on my own."

Preparing for a highly anticipated movie, as a director and producer, Peter receives countless calls and emails every day, and he is tired of these.

"Let's get into shooting quickly."

In September, they will go to New Zealand, where the Lord of the Rings trilogy will complete most of the filming for the next year or more.

The contract for The Lord of the Rings Trilogy was sent to Cusa's mailbox.

Daniel, who has left the transactional work entirely to Cusa, is obsessed with the Lord of the Rings script, which is a fascinating world. Elves, dwarves, orcs, hobbits, Gandalf, Saruman, so large and rich, magnificent and colorful. Compared with the original work, the script has of course a large number of adaptations. From the perspective of a film practitioner, the adaptations are basically very successful and more suitable for the art form of film. Heroism is particularly prominent, and conflicts are dense and fascinating. Although he had read the original book many times, he was still attracted by the script.

He watched it for three full days, during which he only signed his name on the contract. By the way, he looked at his salary, which was $70,000!

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", is only $2 million. Most of the other leading actors are not well-known, and their counterparts are cheap.

It was the choice of the producer and director, that is, Peter Jackson.

Big-name actors, or exquisite productions?

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

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

This is quite a bargain for a magic special effect movie, especially for what it has achieved.

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

"Cusa, have you noticed that your greeting is very unnatural."

"Oh, is that so? Except for you, I haven't heard this kind of evaluation. You know, I'm an excellent agent, and speaking skills are a required course for me."

"Ha ha."

"Your laughter is really annoying, okay." Cusa handed Daniel the newspaper he brought, which was the Los Angeles Entertainment News.

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

Of course, he was sarcasm at 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." Cusa pointed at him, "The fourth page is at the bottom right. Look, there are two more photos."

"how do you feel?"

In fact, Daniel didn't feel anything special. After all, it wasn't 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 Cusa's expectations.

"Hey, get excited, buddy."

Daniel laughed suddenly, he remembered the words of the owner of Claire's Hot Dog Shop. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

"Cusa, if you talk about 100,000 yuan for my next contract, of course, it's not like "The Lord of the Rings" that will take more than a year to shoot, then I will definitely be very excited."

"Oh, you are so worldly."

"Otherworldly Cusa, now let me see what this great newspaper has written about me."

It must be said that the disadvantaged groups in each industry have their own way of survival. For example, the editor of this newspaper is very good at capturing information. Kusa has 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 for "Campus Blues" have also been put on the Internet. Of course, Fox will also hold a premiere, but the scale will not be too large. It mainly invites film critics to warm up the film. There are still three months before the summer vacation, and it is more appropriate to start now.

The reporter of the 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 closely with a magnifying glass, you can confirm that they are indeed the same person, and then my colleague almost fell off the stool when I exclaimed."

The report put the two photos together, and the contrast is too stark.

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

Cusa looked at the two seemingly completely different people in the newspaper, then looked at Daniel's face, and gradually fell into silence.
