Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

California, this is the land of dreams, with clear sun, blue waters and vast skies. As long as you have witnessed what is in front of your eyes, you will understand the scene sung by the song "ca-grls", and you will understand the infinite charm of this land.

It can be said that California is not famous because of Hollywood, but conversely, Hollywood is flourishing because of California.

Gin, orange juice, coconut trees, tall palms; sunshine, beach, hot pants, wheat skin; wild, enthusiastic, free, wanton carnival. Who can refuse such a blissful world?

"Have you seen a potential competitor?" Paul yelled into Renly's ear. In the hustle and bustle of the surrounding environment, the volume was just right, only the two of them could hear it, and everyone else was immersed in it. in the world of music.

Renly didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, cast a suspicious look, and Paul continued to explain, "You are competing for the same role." After a pause, Paul continued, "In such an occasion, there are countless actors, from the front line. On the third line, it's the best place to confuse reporters, who have no idea what deals and negotiations are going on here; but also the best place to audition at the end. I mean, if they're particularly interested in secrecy. Of course, there are Maybe it's just because the big guys want to drink."

What Paul didn't say is that, at the same time, it's the best place for unspoken rules. In such a grand party, at least three or four hundred people attended, and two people suddenly disappeared for half an hour, and no one would notice. Throughout the villa, there are countless places for two people to have a "private conversation", including the woods next to it.

But Paul didn't say it, but Renly understood.

Glancing around, his eyes narrowed slightly and landed in a small corner. But it's not how glowing the man is, but because there are four or five people gathered around him, chatting in small groups, and, moreover, the man is wearing beach shorts, a T-shirt, and a light brown straw hat, In a piece of bronze / flesh / body, it is particularly conspicuous.

Brad Pitt.

Brad, 48, is in the prime of his career. Beginning with "Babel" in 2006, followed by "Burn After Reading," "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "Inglourious Basterds," and "Moneyball" and "Tree of Life" this year's awards season , Brad fully blossomed, running towards Oscar with all his strength in a sprinting attitude.

Everyone is sighing that Leonardo DiCaprio's golden man chase is touching, and Brad is no less.

Especially the "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" the year before last, which is an Oscar love letter tailored by David Fincher for Brad, which almost pinned the weight of the entire work on Brad. Brad naturally became the biggest favorite. As a result, he was first stole the limelight by Mickey Rourke, who made a comeback with "The King of Wrestling" in the early stage of the awards season, and then was overtaken by Sean Pan of "Milk" in the sprint stage. In the end, he and Mickey were two brothers and sisters, watching Sean win the second Oscar statuette.

It is precisely because of the whole-hearted competition for the golden man that the number of Brad's commercial film production has dropped sharply in recent years.

Although Brad has never been a box office superstar like Tom Cruise and Will Smith, only the 2013 "Zombie World War" has broken the North American box office of 200 million in his entire career, and he has also experienced "Troy". "It's such a fiasco, but he's done a lot of commercial work. This is much better than his friend George Clooney.

In addition to the "Eleven Arhats" series, "Operation Smith", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "Inglourious Basterds" and other works have exceeded 100 million at the North American box office, and they are considered a small profit relative to the cost.

Brad showed up at Ben Affleck's private party today, just a party? Just a coincidence? Or came for an audition for Edge of Tomorrow?

Renly will not forget that Brad Liman, the director of "Edge of Tomorrow" in the previous life, was the first choice. The two had previously collaborated on "Operation Smith"; and, recently, the project progress of "Edge of Tomorrow" It is still quite obvious that although there is no earth-shaking essential change, the frequency and content of auditions are indeed improving. Could this be all Brad's credit?

Brad just had to show his interest, and Warner Bros. would be happy to push the project forward.

"Jesus." Looking over Renly's line of sight, and seeing the target person, Paul couldn't help shouting in a low voice. Although the words were few, the meaning couldn't be more clear. There is a gap between comparisons. If Vin Diesel is placed together, it will stand tall. "Is he your competitor? Or your audition object today?"

Like Tom, Brad and Tom are now part-time producers, and they have the power to decide every aspect of the crew on almost every production they have participated in. Relatively speaking, Tom focuses on commercial films, so the entire model follows his conventions; while Brad is more inclined to art films, respecting the creative ideas of directors and screenwriters is the most important premise, and interference is relatively less. .

"Phew, if I'm not mistaken, a competitor." Just as Renly finished speaking, Paul could be heard gasping for breath, which made Renly chuckle, "Paul, I believe this Not the first time you've seen Brad." There's no need to make such a fuss.

Paul didn't mind either, he chuckled lightly, "I just sigh, when those mega-projects are considering actors, they always choose Brad. Today's audition, absolutely

Yes it's a tough fight. "

Paul's tone wasn't questioning, it was just worrying, the confidence hidden behind it still revealed a hint of edge, which made Renly's eyebrows lift slightly, "Listening to your tone, it seems that you don't think I will lose?" There is no tension, but there is still leisure and leisure, chatting slowly here.

Paul didn't notice Renly's complacent, just shook his head firmly, "No, if it was me, I'd choose you." He shrugged and said, of course, "You're a Bibrad. There are many excellent actors. What's more, the current film market needs more fresh blood."

Renly chuckled lightly and said jokingly, "Then I'll wait for the day you take power." This joke suddenly made Paul laugh out loud.

Without saying any more, Renly took a step ahead, Paul hesitated, not sure if he should follow, but before he had time to think of a reason, his body had already moved, his footsteps followed, and Renly walked side by side, "Are we going to talk to Brad now?" Could this be the rhythm of king seeing king?

"No, we used to talk to the guy standing next to Brad." Renly gestured with his chin. The bald head standing next to Brad was also the most important thing Renly thought Brad was a competitor. reason.

Jeff-robinov, a big bald head with an amiable smile, a burly stature, with typical features of Eastern Europeans, but the whole posture is a little out of place, it seems that the suit on him makes him feel uncomfortable Comfortable. Judging from his appearance, he is like an uncle in a private supermarket on the corner. Even with a smile on his face, he still brings a sense of visual oppression. It seems that he is a character whose physical strength exceeds the brain's wisdom.

But in fact, he is a powerful figure at Warner Bros. He is the top director of the film department, and above it is CEO Barry Mayer. It doesn't match the style of his appearance. Jeff is a complete film school. He is not a producer or a director. He is economics and finance, but he is an avid film lover. Become a bridge between him and film practitioners.

As an actor, Ben Affleck's career was a mess, but as a director, he flourished. The man behind it is Jeff.

At the beginning, Jeff defied all opposition and supported Ben to film "The Thief in the City". Later, the budget was overrun, and Warner Bros. refused to continue to increase the cost. Lu; in the later "Escape from Tehran", the top management of Warner Bros. almost collectively objected to handing over the project to Ben. It was Jeff who turned the tide and handed the project over to Ben. Thus, this became the Oscar best picture statuette for "Escape from Tehran".

If it is said that Jeff has been in the industry for more than ten years before supporting Ben, and he has a good background; then the rise of Christopher Nolan is definitely Jeff's credit.

After the filming of "Memento", Christopher received a lot of praise in the industry, but after all, he was just a young director who had shot two works, with no qualifications, no connections, and no more self-certification.

However, Jeff withstood enormous pressure, not only handed over the "Batman Story" trilogy to Christopher, who was little known at the time; he also gave Christopher an agreement for five works, agreeing to publish the "Batman Story" trilogy. "Besides the trilogy, the other two works completely give Christopher the freedom to create the scripts and projects he wants to shoot. Even if the projects are absurd and unbelievable, Jeff will let go of the decision and control of the works. To Christopher -

Jeff kept his promise. Thus, "Deadly Magic" and "Inception" were born.

By the way, when Li/An was still a little-known director, Jeff was optimistic about his prospects, and he hoped to hand over several proposals to Li/An. Unfortunately, at that time, Warner Bros. still rejected Chinese directors very seriously. As for them missing "Brokeback Mountain" and "The Fantasy Rafting of Teenage Pi".

It is no exaggeration to say that Jeff's unique vision and keen sense of smell are the key to Warner Bros.'s dominance after the millennium.

Perhaps, Brad and Jeff are standing together, just chatting, and have nothing to do with "Edge of Tomorrow" at all. But what is certain is that Jeff was holding a party at Ben's villa today, and he made a special trip to call Renly over. Obviously, it was not just that there were not enough guests at the party, and it was as simple as hoping that Renly would come to join in the fun.

Renly didn't know if today's audition was the last, or if there were more auditions waiting to come; but what was certain was that today's audition was definitely not that easy.
