Raising Dragons in Hollywood
Chapter 46 About the Choice of Actors
Brother Kerry asked another silly question though.
But they didn't come here purely to be stupid, but to discuss the actor's affairs.
The male protagonist is not discussed for the time being.
Mikey was an actor that Sammy had booked from the beginning.
Moreover, they were communicating in private...
Mai Qi himself also said that he likes this role very much: "I love singing, I love music."
In order to play this role, he has been diligently running around with that Colin these days, sometimes moving bricks together.
Due to his great strength, he developed a second job without knowing it, and has become the most popular brick mover on the construction site!
But in addition to the leading actor, there is another important role in the film, that is, guitarist Jon.
In rock bands, the love and killing between the lead singer and the guitarist has always been the biggest attraction.
Therefore, even if the movie revolves around the lead singer, the role of guitarist Jon is not small at all.
With that, his casting became a new point of contention between Sammy and the Kree brothers.
The Kerry Brothers meant to use Wolfe.
Because Wolfe is cheap; also because Wolfe, a guy who is very good at making money, has just gained a little fame through "Snake Trouble" not long ago, so he ungratefully kicked his manager who has followed him for many years and shared weal and woe, and turned to Signed into a newly opened brokerage company under the Kerry Brothers, trying to use this to show favor to the Kerry Brothers and obtain more resources.
The important resources in the big brokerage companies are often selected by the big stars who stand at the top of the pyramid, and when the rest are selected and distributed to the bottom, there is often nothing left.
On the contrary, some small companies, especially the newly established companies, will have more opportunities to distribute to actors of Wolfe's level.
Therefore, this step by Wolfe is a bit risky, but it cannot be said that it is wrong.
For example, now, when there is an opportunity to act as the second male lead, the Kerry brothers immediately think of this new 'one of their own'.
But these twists and turns, the two brothers will not say it directly.
They just put on a good-tempered look to discuss: "Give Wolfe a chance, didn't you cooperate well in "Snake Trouble"?"
"Cooperating well, but it doesn't mean he is suitable."
Sammy firmly refused: "In fact, the role of Jon is more difficult to perform than the actor Colin. If possible, I need an actor with strong expressive ability."
Then, he paused, and added and reminded: "I don't care if you push people in, but you must not hinder the quality of the movie. Don't forget, this is your movie too."
"But isn't that just a guitar player? Is it as serious as you said?" The Kerry brothers showed a hint of surprise in unison.
Maybe it's because of being in the middle of the game and being blinded. From their point of view, every time they hold a demo disc, stand cautiously in front of them, and the Hello band, which is waiting for a reply, is really nothing special. It's just a small band.
However, after noticing that Sammy's complexion was getting worse and worse, and he was still very unhappy...
Little Kerry hurriedly stood up to smooth things over again: "Bassist Kahn! The role of bassist Kahn is okay? Don't want guitarist Jon, then bassist Kahn. If you agree, the actor about guitarist Jon …You can pick whatever you want, as long as it’s not too exaggerated, I’ll find a way to help you out.”
Considering that the bass player Kahn has less roles.
Sammy thought about it, and he could barely accept Wolfe.
But after hearing Little Kerry's subsequent words...
His eyes lit up immediately, and he opened his mouth and said, "Is it really possible? Then I want Mick Lee."
Damn, how dare I say it!
Although Mick Lee is not the top star in Hollywood, he can be regarded as one of the second-tier stars with potential in recent years.
So Kerry almost spit out the water he was drinking: "Do you know what you're talking about?"
He had a look of disbelief on his face: "You really can think about it. Let's not talk about whether a star like Mick Lee is willing to act. His asking price alone is at least 50."
"But I want him, just now you told me to pick at random." Sammy said beside him.
Little Kerry laughed angrily: "I also said that the premise is not to exaggerate. Yours is too exaggerated. Change it."
Sammy didn't really want to change.
He had seen an early gangster movie with Mick Lee before.
In that film, Meek Lee played a young gangster who kept climbing.
At that time, he was not well-known and had very few roles.But in the only few clips, he can still faintly see a unique temperament in him. Even in the most intense fights, he can still show a subtle sense of static, expressionless, and death.
That indescribable stability...
In Sammy's opinion, it happens to be similar to some qualities in guitarist Jon.
You know, unlike the exaggerated and showy lead singer Colin, the silent guitarist Jon will always stand at the back.
Whenever Ke Lin was on the verge of collapse, he would silently stand up, take control of the situation, and then quietly wait for his friend to return to normal.
The temperament is too unique!
Obviously, at first glance, there is no sense of existence, but in fact, he cannot be separated from him everywhere.
The most critical question lies here!
Many things can be expressed by superb acting skills, but temperament is a very mysterious thing.
It cannot be easily deduced by others, if it is there, it is there, if it is not, it is not.
After Sammy discovered that Mick Lee was a good fit for the role of guitarist Jon, he wanted the actor very much.
Because this is extremely rare to come across, the temperament of the actor and the character have reached a clever fit.
But Kerry felt that he was dreaming: "Change someone else, Mick Lee is useless."
"Maybe... you can try the script." Da Keli, who had always been reticent, suddenly interrupted.
Sammy and Kerry couldn't help but look at him at the same time, the former looking forward to it, the latter surprised.
Da Keli simply explained: "When Mick Lee was young, he played in a band, but he had no talent, so he became an actor."
Sammy couldn't help asking: "You mean...?"
Big Kerry replied: "Yes, I mean, maybe he will want to use this to realize his music dream."
Next, the Kerry brothers got busy.
Although these two guys don't know anything about movies, they often say some layman's stupid things, and occasionally pursue interests too much, and do some disgusting and disgusting things, but it is undeniable that when they want to do something for their own benefit, When something happens, the power of action is often amazing.
Sami is not very clear about the specific process.
It seems that Mick Lee's agent was contacted first, but the agent didn't like the small crew, and he said a few perfunctory words, and didn't tell Mick Lee about it at all. Then, the Kerry brothers went directly to the agency After talking a few words about future investment and cooperation, the high-level boss of the company smoothly handed over the script to Mick Lee.
Although it was a detour, the result was beautiful.
Mick Lee agreed to consider the matter after reading the script.
It's just frustrating for Sammy that...
Before considering the result, Mick Lee asked a question: "Why can't I be the lead singer?"
Listen!
What he asked was 'Why can't I be the lead singer', not 'Why can't I be the lead singer'.
Obviously, Kerry was right.
This person didn't come to act in movies at all, but came to realize his music dream.Therefore, I don't even care if I am the protagonist, I only care if I am the lead singer in the movie?
But Sammy had a clear head, and although he wanted the actor very much, he still didn't intend to do anything to spoil him.
He replied directly and bluntly: "Because you will never stun me with a single voice!"
Mick Lee is confused: ... who can?
On the other hand, maybe it’s due to paying too much; maybe it’s because there really aren’t any profitable projects recently; maybe it’s because I want to take the opportunity to learn about film...
During this time, the Kerry brothers began to run to Sammy frequently.
So, inevitably, they saw the new script that screenwriter Hughes Humphrey had just turned in.
Prior to this, Sammy had only handed over a rough outline to the two.
Therefore, it is the first time they have seen the detailed script
But this new script made them both dumbfounded on the spot: "This is different from what we thought!"
Kerry was the first to express his doubts about the script: "Would the audience like to watch it?"
Sammy asked, "Why?"
"Is there even a need to ask why?"
Kerry Jr. puts it bluntly: "I don't know who would want to see a 'big, tongue-tied, pimple-faced, whimsical, dumb-talking' movie. I know Colin This guy has always been bad, but can't you find a decent screenwriter? Beautify him, at least not like what's written in this script..."
Sammy frowned and repeated his words: "As written..."
Then, he paused, and asked again in a different tone: "What kind of writing?"
"Like a stupid dog!"
Little Kerry said angrily: "I don't have any personality or characteristics. Even if I kick it, I will just wag my tail and giggle."
Sammy didn't have time to speak this time.
Michelon spoke for the first time.
"Shut up, he's not a stupid dog!" shouted the underage Charmander.
He repeated excitedly: "He's not a stupid dog, he's the lead singer of the band Hello! He's a great singer! It's the character I'm about to play!"
But they didn't come here purely to be stupid, but to discuss the actor's affairs.
The male protagonist is not discussed for the time being.
Mikey was an actor that Sammy had booked from the beginning.
