Chapter 153 Breasts are too big
Luo Ji bid farewell to a group of beauties and came to the company's large conference room. Most of the tables and chairs had been moved out, leaving a small portion as casting seats. It was already full of people.

The script of "Twilight" has been completed for several days, because Luo Ji became the male protagonist. Due to his mixed-race characteristics, some of the main characters in the movie have been greatly changed compared to the original novel.

For example, the Cullen family, the main vampire family in the original work, has now become a vampire alliance. Except for a few, the other vampires are not related by blood. The purpose of joining together is mainly to deal with the increase in human power, and also There is the threat posed by werewolves to vampires.

The vampire Esme has become a Chinese female character, and Emmett Cullen, the brother of the original protagonist, has also become a Latino.The werewolf Jacob family has also transformed from an Indian werewolf tribe into a multi-racial tribe mixed with werewolves.

Overall, this movie has a lot more ethnic minorities in its cast of characters.

The adaptation of the script continued Luo Ji's will, but he did not do it himself. Producer Zhu Haowei conveyed it to screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg.She executed it perfectly.

"Hi, Zhu Haowei, Catherine, Stephanie."

"Hello, Logic."

Luo Ji smiled and greeted the three of them, then raised his chin to the casting director sent by MTV Films, who was sitting on the far left.

Luo Ji walked to his seat and sat down. From right to left were producer Zhu Haowei, actor and investor Luo Ji, director Catherine Hardwicke, novel author Stephanie, and the casting call from MTV Movies. director.

Director Catherine Hardwicke, who was sitting in the middle, smiled and nodded to Luo Ji: "Now that the time has come, let the casting begin."

"OK!" Luo Ji responded to her with a smile.

Although Luo Ji was the largest investor and had the right to make the final decision, in order to prevent an expert from leading an outsider and causing the film to spiral out of control, Luo Ji gave director Catherine the greatest rights and respect except for the male and female protagonists who had already signed contracts. .

The first one to enter was Kristen Stewart. Today she came to play with the other actors in the scene. Everything was ready for the audition to begin.

"Hello everyone, my name is Alexandra Daddario. I am 21 years old and want to play the role of vampire Rosalie."

"I've appeared in the TV series 'Law & Order' and 'All My Children' and in the movies 'The Squid and the Whale' and 'Hottest Country.'"

Luo Ji looked through the other person's resume and looked up at the new actor.She is indeed beautiful, especially the breasts are very attractive, and her figure is amazing.

Luo Ji thought of Max when he first saw her. The two were almost the same type.However, her figure is more coordinated and more beautiful than Max's.

The staff sent a line of dialogue to Daddario, and director Catherine Hardwick said: "This is a dialogue. Christine, please cooperate with me. Daddario, you have to perform this in an angry tone." Lines.”

Alexandra Daddario and Kristen nodded.Luo Ji observed that Christine looked at Daddario with some hostility.

Daddario said: "Great, let's continue to pretend that she won't harm us."

Kristen looked weak: "I won't tell anyone else, I swear!"

Daddario pressed forward step by step: "If something goes wrong with you, the whole family will be implicated."

Kristen humorously said: "If something bad like this happened, I would be a big meal."

After the camera recorded all this, director Catherine nodded: "Okay, Daddario, thank you for your audition. Go out and call the next person in."

Daddario then nodded, handed the audition lines to the staff, walked out the door and disappeared.

After watching the performance, Luo Ji said to the director Catherine beside him: "The acting is not bad, and this girl is quite pretty. I think she is very good. Can we let her pass the preliminary round?"

Director Catherine smiled and explained to the layman: "It is precisely because she is too beautiful that we cannot let her pass. In a movie, there can only be one most beautiful person in the same age group, so as not to steal the spotlight from the protagonist. Just like your character, the second male lead and other vampires can't be more handsome than you."

"That's it, I understand."

The audition continued, and after a while, Luo Ji saw an acquaintance. She was Constance Wu.Luo Ji had specifically notified her before, asking her to compete for the vampire Esme, the female leader of the vampire family. This role was particularly suitable for her.

She smiled and introduced: "Hello everyone, my name is Christine Wu. I am 25 years old. I want to play the vampire Esme."

"I have appeared in "Secrets of a Good Girl", "The Architect", "Year of the Fish", and I also appeared in the MV for "We are young"."

The moment Constance Wu walked in, director Catherine recognized her. She had seen all of Logic's music videos. This woman was a well-connected person.

As usual, the staff handed a line to Constance Wu. She picked it up and read it for a minute, then smiled and nodded: "I'm ready."

Luo Ji had already read this part of the script to her, so it was considered a back door.

Director Catherine said: "Logic, Christine, I need your cooperation."

"OK."

Luo Ji walked down from the judges' table and walked across from Constance Wu with Kristen in his arms.This is the scene in the novel where the vampire hero Edward takes the heroine Bella to meet the family.The show begins.

Constance Wu smiled and said, "Bella, we are making Chinese food for you. I hope you like it." "Oh." Kristen nodded.

Luo Ji introduced from the side: "Bella, this is Esme. You can tell at a glance that she is my mother. The two of us were transformed together in 1918."

Kristine smiled and said in broken Chinese: "Hello!"

Constance Wu also smiled happily and said in standard Chinese: "Hello!"

After the audition, Luo Ji returned to his seat, smiled and asked director Catherine, "How is she?"

"Yes, this role can actually be cast for her now."

Catherine gave Luo Ji a lot of face. Women's desire for control is actually not that strong. Moreover, Luo Ji also respected her, and she also respected her accordingly.But the casting director sent by MTV Movies was not so easy to talk to. He represented the interests of the other three producers.

"Don't worry, it's still early. There are quite a few East Asian characters auditioning today. Maybe there will be someone more suitable."

Luo Ji curled his lips angrily, but ultimately made no comment.

However, what the casting director said does make sense. In this movie, under the operation of Luo Ji and Zhu Haowei, there are many East Asian characters in the werewolf camp, vampire camp, villain camp and school.

Luo Ji recognized many young actors of East Asian descent in Hollywood today, including Chen Jing, Stephanie Hsu, Kelly Marie Tran, Bai Ling, Kwan Jiwei, Kao Shengyuan, Wu Zhuoshan, John Zhao, etc.

"Hello everyone, my name is Austin Swift. I am 16 years old and I want to apply for a role as one of my classmates in the film school."

Director Catherine looked at Luo Ji and then said, "Swift? What is the relationship between Taylor Swift and you?"

"She's my sister."

Luo Ji winked quietly at his brother-in-law Austin, who smiled back.

The audition was over quickly, and the director Catherine was quickly confirmed, and the casting director of MTV Movies had no objection.This is a small role, not worth turning against.

"Hello everyone, my name is Penny Wyatt. I am 23 years old. I want to play the vampire Victoria. I once starred in "The Ape Killer"."

Director Catherine asked: "'Ape Killer'? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Penny said with some embarrassment: "This is a low-cost horror film that has not been released in theaters and has been directly released on DVD."

"Oh."

Catherine understood: "Penny, why do you want to play a villain vampire? Your appearance does not have the temperament of a villain at all. Your temperament is more like a sweet American blonde girl."

"I feel like this role is perfect for me and I can dye my hair red."

Stephanie, the author of the novel, had a dark complexion. In the Middle Ages, red hair was often regarded as a witch and an evil force.So many female villains in movies have red hair.

But doesn’t she know that Stephanie also has red hair?

Luo Ji wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he held it back.He always felt like he had seen this stupid blonde girl somewhere before.

Luo Ji suddenly remembered, wasn't this the girl who was enjoying the heat at the Grammy pre-party?I didn’t expect to come to his crew to audition.

Catherine said: "Okay, then you can perform this line..."

"I don't think she's suitable. She's too beautiful. And her breasts are too big." Stephanie finished with a dark face, and then looked at director Catherine.

Director Catherine nodded like a good old lady: "Indeed, the breasts are too big to fit!"

Luo Ji asked in confusion: "Why is it that the breasts are too big to fit? Does this have any impact?"

Director Catherine smiled and explained: "Of course, ours is a serious, cold-toned movie. Actresses with too big breasts will ruin the overall style. Women with big breasts give people a brainless image, especially blond hair, they Suitable for comedy and warm-toned movies. Many women in Hollywood have undergone breast reduction surgery just to broaden their acting career."

Director Catherine finished speaking and continued: "For example, actors Jennifer Connelly, Drew Barrymore, and Christina Ricci."

"Okay, I've learned a lot!"

After Luo Ji finished speaking, he continued, "A woman would actually dislike being too big."

"Hahahaha." Several people around him understood and laughed.
