Rocca said it bluntly.

"Boss, can you know the reason?"

Scott spread his hands and said, "Colleagues from the production department of this project inspected it for a week and recommended it because they thought it was very good."

"The reason is very simple. The last time we filmed "Dancing Out of My Life", Summit withdrew its funding midway, which almost made it impossible to proceed with this project.

With me, their credibility is negative, and their head of production, Mr. Akiva Goldsman, once threatened me, such a person and a company, how should I cooperate with them? "

Rocca said lightly.

"I understand, boss, our production department didn't think carefully, and we will carefully consider who we cooperate with in the future."

Scott said seriously.

"it is good!"

Roca approved a few more documents and chatted with Scott about the company's plans.

Now that the company has sufficient funds, it is difficult to produce two large projects a year, but it is not a big problem to carry out two projects, one large and one small, at the same time, and the company can consider another small project.

Scott thinks so too.

After a while, Scott left. Rocca got up and twisted his neck, looked at the street outside the French windows, and drank a glass of red wine.

"Roca, the car is ready, let's go now?"

Tony said from outside the door.

"Let's go!"

At noon, Director Nolan invited him to talk about the film, and he wanted to go over to see the results of the audition, hoping it would be a good result.

400. Director Nolan's Decision

"Milton is too complacent. Since he became famous, his magic has not changed. It is a bit disgusting. He is unwilling to take the risk of trying new magic. He uses this second-rate trick to fool the enthusiasm of the audience."

Christian Bale said.

"These are repertoires, and there are a lot of audiences who like them"

Rocca smiled lightly.

"The repertoire? Can we have something new? He can't even try to catch a bullet with his bare hands"

On the screen, the video of Roca's last audition for "The Prestige" was being played. He and Christian Bale played the two main characters Angel and Borden respectively.

The background of this movie is at the end of the 19th century. The two protagonists were originally performing in a magic team, like two brothers and sisters.

Angel was born a nobleman, with gorgeous and rich magic methods.

Borden, even though he came from a mediocre background, was competitive and adventurous.

Relying on their respective talents, both of them have made great achievements in the magic circle, but the differences between them are also getting bigger and bigger.

In order to become a top magician, the two fought openly and secretly, and their friendship and morality were all left behind, which eventually led to many tragedies.

The clip of the last performance of the two is where the two initially diverged.

In this performance, Bale plays Borden aggressively, offering a pointed critique of existing magic.

And Angel, played by Rocca, has a gentle smile, is steady and down-to-earth, and never expresses opinions easily.

There are two characters in this scene.

"Chris Rocca, after reading this passage, what do you think?"

After playing for a while, Director Nolan turned off the video and turned to look at the two of them.

Rocca frowned and didn't know what to say. In his memory, Hugh Jackman and Chris Bell played this scene. Now it was him, and he always felt a little uncomfortable.

He looked at Bell. Bell is a senior, so he should express his opinion first.

Chris Bell spread his hands and said with a smile, "Nolan, you are the director and the king of the crew. If you have any opinions, you can directly put them forward."

"Yes, Director Nolan, I think this should be my problem, no matter what decision you have, please speak it out, I think I can accept it"

When he received the call yesterday, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

This audition is just him and Bell. Bell is a seasoned actor, and his acting skills are nothing to say, and Nolan appreciates him very much. Bell should have no problem.

Then the problem must be on him, and Roca prepared for the worst.

"Emm~, my opinion is"

Nolan looked at the two of them, pondered for a moment and said, "Roca is young and cheerful, Chris is introverted, mature and stable, I think you two can switch roles, Roca plays Burden's part, Chris plays Angel, I want to arrange another audition for you to see the effect, can you accept it?"

Roca was a little surprised. He had already planned to quit, but he didn't expect to have another audition.

"I have no opinion!"

He looked at Bell again.

Bell leaned back on the sofa and smiled, "OK, I have no problem either!"

"Okay, then I'll arrange an audition."

Half an hour later, the second audition began again, this time for Rocca to play Burden.

He is a magician from a commoner background, and magic is his key to enter the upper class.

In order to be successful, he dares to take risks and has an extraordinary obsession with new magic. In order to create new magic, he gradually walks towards the path of irrationalization without morality and emotion, like a persistent lunatic.

During the performance, the change of this character is only in the eyes and language. At the beginning, his eyes are rational and calm, but later, his eyes gradually become crazy.

It is very difficult to play this role well, even higher than Angel.

"Are you ready? OK, let's go!"

In the film studio, Director Nolan turned on the camera and quietly watched the performance of the two people in the field.

Bell sat on the chair with a smile on the corner of his mouth, a kind of aristocratic temperament was easily displayed by him.

Roca stood in the middle of the field, gesticulating with his hands while talking, looking very enthusiastic and persistent.
