Chapter 85 Prepare for war

Since you are going to fight in the ring, it is not okay if the guy in your hand is not good at it.

Movies are weapons. Only when the weapons are ready can we dare to fight head-on.

Without this weapon, little Gilbert would not dare to be confident.

The male lead was quickly finalized. After CAA helped Stallone reject the project, the crew quickly extended an invitation to Bruce Willis.

Compared with the difficult CAA, Bruce Willis under ICM is obviously much easier to contact.

In the past two years, with the "Die Hard" series, Bruce Willis has gradually become a first-line actor in Hollywood.

When he heard that Gilbert Jr. had been invited to work on his new work, he was very interested and quickly asked his agent to accept the invitation.

Bruce Willis was interested, and Little Gilbert was very happy, and the two sides had a pleasant conversation.

After the contract issues were negotiated, Bruce Willis signed his name on the actor's contract and became the second confirmed actor in the crew.

Compared with the smooth selection of the male and female leads, the selection of the young actor for the second male lead caused difficulties for the crew.

Auditions went on one after another, but little Gilbert never found the perfect candidate for Max.

There is actually a suitable actor named Elijah Wood.

But that kid is CAA, and now little Gilbert has become enemies with CAA. CAA declined the invitation on the grounds that Elijah Wood needs to study.

Little Gilbert has no choice. He can't bypass CAA and invite Elijah Wood to star unless Elijah Wood agrees with himself.

But things soon took a turn for the better. Disney's child star talent show "Mickey Mouse Club" recommended a child to the crew, now 13-year-old Ryan Gosling.

Ryan Gosling has been acting since he was a child, participating in the school's drama club and local dance groups.

What's rare is that the little boy can also sing well, and he seems to have an all-round development.

So, after some auditions, Ryan Gosling's outstanding performance convinced the director team and two producers, and he successfully won the role of Max, the second male lead.

The main characters were all figured out, so it was easy to figure out the other characters, and they were all decided very quickly.

One night, after finishing his work in the studio, little Gilbert returned to his apartment to rest. Cameron Diaz, who had just finished shooting a movie, also came back.

"Michelle, how was the audition for "The Man in Disguise" going?" Little Gilbert was also concerned about the audition of Cameron Diaz.

Unlike the audition road that was full of twists and turns in his previous life, Cameron Diaz now has enough capital.

After listening to little Gilbert's words, she went to fight for the heroine of "Granny in Disguise".

"It went very well. After a simple audition, I became the candidate for the female lead." Cameron Diaz helped little Gilbert massage and did not forget to show off: "I am the second actor confirmed. .”

"That's good," little Gilbert nodded, satisfied with Cameron Diaz's obedience.

Being able to listen to her own words shows that Cameron Diaz is not bloated and it won't be too long before she becomes a first-line actress.

"By the way," Cameron walked around to little Gilbert, sat astride his lap, and put his hands around his neck and asked, "I heard that there is a role that has not yet been decided. I think..."

"That's just a supporting role. Are you also interested?"

"No," said Cameron Diaz. "Remember Sally? She's been in a few movies and TV series lately, but she hasn't had much of a chance to act.

I think we are good friends after all. Can you give her a chance? "

In the audition list, little Gilbert did not see Charlize Theron's name.

It's not easy to get on the audition list, you have to go through a lot of twists and turns.

According to what little Gilbert knew, the assistant director Anne Burton took advantage of her position to sleep with several pretty boys.

If you don't sleep with her, I'm sorry, but you won't be on the audition list, and you won't even have a chance to let little Gilbert see your name.

Even Sofia Coppola used her position to date a handsome actor.

Of course, Anne Burton and Sofia Coppola did not go too far and did not affect the normal work of the crew.

Little Gilbert just warned them and asked them to restrain themselves.

Similar situations are normal everywhere, and little Gilbert didn't think anything was wrong. If the water is clear, there will be no fish!

As long as the work is not delayed and no accidents are caused, he is happy to turn a blind eye. Besides, the decision-making power for important roles does not lie with the subordinates. It is Gilbert Jr. and the two producers who have the final say.

The rich second-generation daughter is also an important character. It is probably because Charlize Theron knew she had no hope, so she simply didn’t submit her resume.

Instead, he went the way of Cameron Diaz and looked for connections.

After all, I had heard of Charlize Theron's reputation in my previous life. Compared with those actors whose names I had never heard of, it was a layer of security. Little Gilbert did not refuse and directly agreed.

"Great, I knew you would agree..."

Cameron Diaz kissed little Gilbert hard on the mouth, and then said in a mysterious tone in little Gilbert's ear: "Sally has a great figure, do you want to try it?"

Along with Naomi Watts, the three also have experience in the three-person movement, and Cameron Diaz says this without blushing.

Little Gilbert felt a movement of emotion, but he said: "I'll finish you off first."

"Hehe, come on, am I still afraid of you?"

There are many words in one night, all melting into the original blend.

The next day, a refreshed little Gilbert informed assistant director Anne Burton that Charlize Theron would audition.

Cameron Diaz also told Charlize Theron.

Charlize Theron is very happy. This is a relatively important opportunity she has received, so she is worried that she will mess up the audition.

The careless Cameron Diaz said: "It doesn't matter, Sally, I've already told little Gilbert.

As long as you meet the requirements in the audition, he will definitely give you priority. "

Charlize Theron hopes: "I hope so!"

Soon it was time for the audition, and with the guidance of Cameron Diaz, Charlize Theron met Sofia Coppola several times beforehand and learned from her the general characteristics of the role she was auditioning for.

On the day of the audition, Charlize Theron designed her look to take advantage of her height and long legs while highlighting her haughty and arrogant posture.

Cameron Diaz suggested that Charlize Theron, if she can't act, just play the character of Little Gilbert's ex-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow.

With reference characters, Charlize Theron has indeed found her direction, and the audition process was excellent.

"Very good, Miss Theron, your performance exceeded my expectations." Little Gilbert said.

After performing a short scene, Charlize Theron waited humbly and said, "These are the characteristics I should bring out."

"Very good," little Gilbert communicated to the director team: "How do you feel?"

Assistant director Anne Burton said: "There is no problem directing, I think it is okay."

"Sofia?"

She revealed the characteristics of the character. Of course, Sofia Coppola supported it: "She acted very well. I recommend using her."

Sofia Coppola would never tell Charlize Theron about her character without Gilbert Jr.'s permission.

Although she agrees with her words, Sofia Coppola still feels bad in her heart; she is obviously the actor she likes, but she insists on getting us to guarantee her, so she is duplicitous...

This role was a major role, but obviously not that important, so this role was finalized on the spot and belonged to Charlize Theron.

When she walked out of the audition hall, Charlize Theron was still dazed. She didn't react until her agent asked her how the situation was.

"Diana, I won the role." Charlize Theron said happily.

Charlize Theron's agent couldn't believe his ears: "What did you say? Say it again..."

"I said, we won the role..."

"Oh my god, it's great. God finally takes care of us." The agent crossed himself on his chest.

She is just a small agent, and she only has Charlize Theron as a client. If Charlize Theron can win a role, it proves that her career is about to take off.

So, the two immediately went to celebrate and celebrate that they finally entered the Hollywood circle.
