Chapter 269 Cast List
Casting is undoubtedly quite important, requiring multiple and complex auditions.

Most of the actors invited by Little Gilbert basically passed the audition and got the roles, and the crew notified them quickly.

After listening to the advice of his friends, Orlando Bloom went back and told his agent that he was going to audition for "The Lord of the Rings".

The agent firmly objected and claimed that Orlando Bloom was not a qualified actor and could not pass the audition.

The agent also said that Orlando Bloom should take a class to learn how to act.

It's just that the words of friends are more effective than the agent. The determined Orlando Bloom kicked the agent out when he was angry and planned to change to another agency.

In the end, the two bosses of the International Artist Management Company were alarmed. After Michael Ovitz heard about it, he directly fired the agent who had no vision.

After this, Martin Bob was directly responsible for Orlando Bloom's agency business.

Because Orlando Bloom is about to audition for Little Gilbert's project, Little Gilbert is a person Michael Ovitz knows very well.

Once an audition invitation is given, it is basically certain that the candidate will be the invited actor and will not be changed again.

When going out for breakfast in the morning, Elijah Wood's father, Mr. Wood, passed by the newsstand and saw the dentist who always looked down upon their family.

Such a director who can create miracles does not belong to him. Can Michael Ovitz not regret it?

But with little Gilbert, I think the project has been a success. "

So Orlando Bloom has great potential, and Michael Ovitz certainly will not let such a potential star leave International Artist Management Company.

To be honest, the performance of Orlando Bloom, who is new to the industry and has no experience, is really not good, his acting skills are jerky, and he is suspected of having facial paralysis.

Elijah Wood's father was excited to show off to friends and neighbors that his son was about to star in Gilbert Jr.'s movie.

Martin Bob was curious: "Nasus, are you so confident in this project?"

Although Michael Ovitz had several unhappy moments due to his head-on competition with Little Gilbert. But it was this kind of competition that gave Michael Ovitz a deep understanding of Gilbert Jr.

He also told Martin Bob: "If Spielberg or George Lucas had adapted 'Lord of the Rings', I dare say it would have failed.

So Mr. Wood deliberately spoke loudly to attract people around him: "You know what? Director Gilbert Jr. called me last night."

In other words, Legolas is a male figure, and Orlando Bloom has captured the essence of the character very well. Being handsome is enough.

"Of course," Mr. Wood said proudly, "He called me personally. He was polite and spoke very nicely."

There is no controversy about this role. Even though several actors with relatively good acting skills also participated in the audition, their feelings were never as good as Orlando Bloom's.

Elijah Wood soon received the news that he had landed the coveted role, the opportunity to work with Little Gilbert.

So while most Hollywood professionals are not optimistic about this project, Michael Ovitz believes that Little Gilbert will definitely succeed.

The whole family is very happy. This is the biggest director Elijah Wood has worked with in his several years of acting. This director is amazing. Ilya will definitely become a big star in Hollywood through this project.

"It's not that I have full confidence in this project, but that I have full confidence in Little Gilbert. This is a director who can create miracles." Michael Ovitz still had some regrets when he said this.

A bald man in front of the newsstand asked cooperatively: "Mr. Wood, the little Gilbert you are talking about is not the little Gilbert, right?"

After several roles were confirmed, the crew quickly issued a notice.

In this way, Orlando Bloom successfully participated in the audition and conquered everyone.

But Legolas, a role that doesn't require much acting, is just right for him, because he is so handsome and eye-catching.

This is an allusion to the dentist. Because of the dentist's high income and high status, this dentist has always spoken very arrogantly.

People around him were disgusted by his attitude, but since he was indeed inferior to dentists in terms of social status, they had no choice but to endure it.

At this time, someone came out to suppress the dentist's arrogance, and everyone cooperated.

One person asked: "Mr. Wood, what does Director Gilbert want from you? Isn't it just a chat?"

"Of course not," Mr. Wood said even more proudly.

The dentist's face was as dark as water, as if he hadn't heard Mr. Wood's words, and he just picked up the newspaper and was about to leave.

When Mr. Wood saw this, he quickly said loudly: "Of course a person as busy as Director Gilbert Jr. would not call me for no reason.

Actually, it was because my son, Elijah Wood, had already passed the audition that he called me. "

"It's just a role. Can't we just let the assistant inform us?" someone asked.

Without Mr. Wood opening his mouth, someone immediately explained: "For some important roles, the director usually notifies them personally to show the importance of the role and remind the actors to pay attention.

Mr. Wood, am I right? Mr. Wood was very satisfied: "That's it, that's right." "

The person who spoke showed a flattering smile and said: "Mr. Wood, Elijah has become a big star, don't forget to sign your autograph for us!"

Mr. Wood looked at the dentist's back walking faster and faster, and became even more proud: "No problem, it's easy to sign."

This may be the feeling of one person ascending to heaven. The news that Elijah Wood is about to star in Little Gilbert's movie quickly spread in the community.

Mr. Wood's big-mouthed personality had already shown off this fact.

For a time, the Wood family had some unexplained guests. From time to time, the neighbors found excuses to invite Mr. Wood to some parties.

Elijah Wood's mother was disgusted with these snobbish neighbors, but Mr. Wood, on the other hand, forgot his last name amidst the compliments.

Not to mention, when his boss heard that his son was starring in the Little Gilbert movie, he went out of his way to chat with me and asked for his help to get an autographed photo of Little Gilbert, which made Mr. Wood lose himself.

Fortunately, he still knew that it was his son who became famous, not himself, and he did not randomly agree to things that he could not do.

Whenever people ask Mr. Wood where Elijah Wood has gone, Mr. Wood will proudly say: "Elijah has joined the crew of director Gilbert Little and will be training in equestrian training!"

Indeed in equestrian training, after Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Billy Boyd, Orlando Bloom, John Rhys-Davies and others passed the audition, He was thrown to the training ground by little Gilbert.

According to the requirements, they must master equestrianism, swordsmanship, Ian McKellen must also master the unique staff fighting technique, and Orlando Bloom, who plays Legolas, must practice archery.

At the same time, the crew hired several linguists to perfect the Elvish language created by Tolkien before teaching it to the actors.

Little Gilbert required that the main actors on the crew, who can speak Elvish according to the role setting, must all speak Elvish.

This is a huge challenge for the actors. They not only have to practice equestrian and sword skills, but also learn Elvish language to make themselves meet the director's requirements.

If it were those little freshmen in the previous life who read lines like 1234, they wouldn't be able to kill them. Don't even think about training equestrian and sword skills, brothers don't have time.

In addition to these characters, there is also a very special character, that is the character of Gollum.

Gilbert Jr. invited motion capture master Andy Serkis to play the role.

Andy Serkis readily agreed and has already started motion capture pre-shooting at Orange Special Effects Studio.

Another big change is the casting of Yawen.

In her previous life, this character was played by Liv Tyler. This crazy girl, like her rock and roll dad, acted unconventionally and forcibly had an affair with little Gilbert.

Then he publicized it everywhere, claiming to be little Gilbert's little lover.

In view of the help she gave and the fact that he actually had an affair with her, little Gilbert acquiesced to her behavior.

But little Gilbert was really dissatisfied with Liv Tyler playing the role of Arwen.

He directly inserted Liv Tyler into the newly established "Fast and Furious" project and did not allow her to participate in "Lord of the Rings".

The crazy girl was a little sad at first because she couldn't cooperate with little Gilbert. But little Gilbert deceived her that "Fast and Furious" was specially prepared for her, and Liv Tyler went happily.

Liv Tyler can’t come, and she has to find someone else to choose Yawen.

This role and another role, Eowen, have caused competition among many female stars. After Nicole Kidman was confirmed to play Queen Galadriel, these two roles are the few female roles with important roles.

Especially for the role of Arwen, Gilbert Jr. made some designs for this character compared to the original version, added a lot of action scenes, and the number of scenes increased a lot.

The importance of such a role is self-evident. Nicole Kidman herself admitted that if Gilbert Jr. was willing, she would like to play the role of Arwen.

But little Gilbert disagreed. Nicole Kidman is already a mother, so how can she play a princess?
Moreover, Nicole Kidman does not have that kind of graceful temperament. She looks very cold and has a strong aura. She is most suitable for the role of Queen.

Regarding the casting of the role of Arwen, little Gilbert made a lot of decisions and was blocked by others.

The thing is like this, because the role in "The Girl Who Moved" was snatched away by Jennifer Connelly, Angelina Jolie, who had nothing to do, aimed at "The Lord of the Rings".

Angelina's idea is simple. Jennifer Connelly got the role because of Gilbert Jr.'s relationship.

Then he might as well steal the house and play an important role in little Gilbert's project.

So after Arwen's audition, Angelina Jolie seized the opportunity and blocked little Gilbert.

Angelina is confident in her charm because she relied on her looks and sexy figure to break into Hollywood and charmed many men.

So Angelina thought that if she slept with little Gilbert, she would be able to get the role.

But the development of things was beyond her expectation. Little Gilbert was not interested in her at all, which made Angelina begin to doubt herself.
