Disaster Artist

Thinking about it carefully, it is precisely because Reynolds gave the role of Deadpool a new vitality and brilliance.

Then, if the movie wants to achieve a balance, it also means that other characters must also be charming, so that they can collide with enough chemistry.

The importance of casting is further enhanced.

Lu Qian was looking forward to the list submitted by Lions Pictures.

There was also a look of eagerness in Renault's eyes.

Ji Xu noticed the expressions of the two people, but she shook her head slightly, showing a meaningful smile, "Let's make a forewarning in advance, don't expect too much."

Why?

"You should know how much water is in this list." Ji Xu has pointed it out, but it is enough.

This time, the casting of Lions Pictures was very secretive, and basically no news was leaked, and even the news between the five major brokerage companies did not spread.

Internal casting.

This is not about insider trading, but about keeping a low profile and avoiding riots.

Lions Pictures will release news through its own connections to select roles for "Deadpool", and then producers, film selection managers, and agents will submit a list, and they will list a series of candidates, and they will sit. In front of the conference table, analysis and discussion are carried out as if talking on paper.

Find suitable or potential candidates, and ask them to audition.

Simply put, not just any actor can enter that list.

First, looking at the contacts and status of the brokers in the industry, the preciousness of the news is vividly reflected here.

Second, looking at the popularity and weight of the actors themselves, the popular fried chicken must be among the best on the waiting list.

The more the casting of a commercial film, the more so.

It is precisely because of this that after an actor becomes popular through a work, he or she may be seen in movies large and small, to the point of being boring, as if the entire movie circle Only this actor is average.

The significance of internal casting is that appearance, acting skills, charm, popularity, market value, etc. have all been comprehensively considered to ensure an average level.

But the disadvantage is that it is the same and lacks new ideas.

Moreover, those top managers can always find ways to transport the artists they push to the top of the casting list for all blockbusters.

Casting lists for different film projects often have a very high overlap rate, and may even be the same at all, and there is nothing new to do over and over again.

This is what Ji Xu just said.

Before Lu Qian could speak, Renault couldn't wait, "But, if people hear the director's name, they must be very excited. There should be some surprises in the list, right?"

book

Ji Xu shrugged, "But people should have been scared away when they heard the label of 'R-rated', and when R-rated meets Director Lu Qian, the lethality is even more overwhelming."

Renault:  …

Lu Qian chuckled lightly, "Student Ji, are you making fun of me?"

Ji Xu deliberately made a surprised expression, "Ah, did you hear it? I thought I was hiding well."

A small joke, what Ji Xu didn't say is that the whole Lanchuan has been turbulent recently, and the interests of all aspects are intertwined.

"Deadpool" chooses to start preparatory work at this time, which has advantages and disadvantages.

On the one hand, Lu Qian's name is indeed becoming more and more attractive, especially after the announcement of the nominees for the Golden Book Award.

On the other hand, Lu Qian's boldness and sharpness also discouraged many people, fearing that Lu Qian's radical and adventurous actions might attract crazy revenge from the Lanchuan Journalists Association.

Everyone has an account in their hearts, especially the five major brokerage companies. Those brokers who can come to today's position are not good people.

Maybe Lu Qian is really in the limelight, but Lanchuan is so big, with so many excellent directors and potential projects, not everyone wants to gamble on Lu Qian.

Therefore, the casting of "Deadpool" did encounter some complicated situations.

Ji Xu didn't go any further, just clicked to it, just gave Lu Qian a meaningful look, and then turned around and got busy.

Turn on the projector in the hall, connect to the computer, and then project the waiting list submitted by Lion Pictures.

"Deadpool" has three main characters, Deadpool Wade, girlfriend Sasha, and villain Aja.

On the projection screen, the waiting list is divided into two:

One is salsa.

One is Aja.

In each list, a series of names are listed, and after a rough scan, you can see that Sasha's waiting list is significantly shorter.

Salsa should have less than twenty alternates.

For actresses, acting in a superhero movie is also acting as a vase - at least it's a stereotype, but if it's just a simple vase, then countless actors will flock to it, but if this movie is R-rated, then...

There should already be more than thirty alternates for Aja.

In recent years, Fantastic Pictures has increasingly liked this kind of reverse operation. Superheroes choose newcomers or second-tier and third-tier actors, while villains choose top big-name actors.

There are two reasons for this~www.readwn.com~ First, superheroes are fixed actors and sign long-term contracts; while villains are changing from one to another, signing short-term contracts. From a cost point of view, saving on the former, A little extravagance on the latter is beneficial.

Second, the villain determines the upper limit of the quality of the movie, so publicizing the strength of the villain can often attract more audiences, and the publicity effect of big-name actors is also better.

It is precisely because of this that more and more top big-name actors are playing villains. Naturally, the villains have become a brand new Xiangmo, even some second-tier and third-tier actors, they are eager to play a charming villain, Find a new way to open up your business.

There are two lists, you can browse the names slowly, and when you see which one you are interested in, click on it, and then you can see photos, files, etc., and some actors even have their own audition videos attached to their files—

It can be seen that it should be the agent's suggestion. They inquired about the news in advance, so let the actors show their charm through video.

Renault sat next to him, eager to try, but found that Lu Qian had no intention of opening his mouth, but fell into deep thought, quietly watching the projection screen without speaking, so that he did not dare to speak, and shut his mouth obediently.

Ji Xu saw that Lu Qian didn't respond, so he clicked on each name by himself, and then slowly browsed the files.

For a while, the hall was a little quiet, only the sound of the projector running surging.

Occasionally, I could hear the sound of Renault fidgeting and twisting, rustling, like a mouse, unable to calm down at all, and then from time to time he secretly glanced at Lu Qian.

You can feel a little depression without words, which means... Lu Qian is not satisfied with the waiting list?
