Chapter 158 John Krasinski

"Chen Yun directs a blockbuster with a budget of [-] million across borders? "

The headline on the front page of the USA Today newspaper is impressively written with this sentence in big black fonts. The article starts with two news from the Screen Actors Union, and leads to a lot of speculations on the Internet, and even quotes well-known movie critics. People, Roger Ebert's criticism of Chen Yun's new film.

"[-] million blockbuster, I don't know the so-called little hairy head? "

The New York Times, which is known for its seriousness, did not include this news in its headlines. Instead, it issued a large number of special approvals for Chen Yun's new film, which was still a new film worth [-] million US dollars, in one corner, and Chen Yun was almost dragged out.

"Chen Yun will make a blockbuster movie with [-] million US dollars, it is worth looking forward to! "

The Los Angeles Times, which is controlled by the Morgan consortium, stood up to say something good for Chen Yun. However, amidst the many criticisms, how loud can it be?

The Washington Post and the New York Post all pointed their guns at Chen Yun. A rookie director, because he has a lot of money, he randomly spends [-] million for fun. Is such a film worth looking forward to?
The voices of criticism are overwhelming, and I don't know if the film is good or not. At least, everyone knows that Chen Yun is now on the cusp of the storm, and his new film will be popular before it is shot. The mentality, or the mentality of anticipation, will spend money to go in and watch it.

"Chen, you're famous again, but this time there's a lot of scolding." An Ruisi and Chen Yun are eating breakfast, and the news of Chen Yun's new movie is scrolling on the TV, and the news is deliberately teased. The professional filmmakers of the world are enemies.

Chen Yun shrugged indifferently, and continued with his breakfast. Since he became famous, no matter what he did, whether he went out with bodyguards, what he bought, or who he met, it was basically reported by the media, and there was never any criticism. Stop it, who said that the United States is a country with freedom of speech, Chen Yun has no leisure to file lawsuits against those who oppose him one by one, the legal fees alone are enough to make him bankrupt.

"How is the progress of the Korean company? How is the sales channel doing?" Chen Yun didn't want to talk about the issues reported in the newspaper, so he quickly changed the subject.

An Ruisi grinned, and said obediently: "The brokerage companies in South Korea, we have just injected funds, and we haven't had time to act yet, but many brokerage companies are holding together to fight against our posture, Li Xiuman thinks There may be variables in order to achieve a market share in all of Asia within three months."

After a pause, he continued: "Our sales channels have already reached [-] in the United States, and the next step is to expand to the world. However, in terms of manpower, there is a serious shortage. I plan to use the franchise method to let our brand expand in a short period of time. It can be opened all over the world."

Chen Yun nodded. He didn't care about the progress of the business. He was very relieved to have a professional like An Ruisi watching for him.

In the morning, Chen Yun went to the actor union again. He didn't know those young actors, so he could only hope that the actor union could find suitable candidates.

Barton was still waiting at the door early, but now he was surrounded by many actors who wanted to try it out, asking him about the roles in the new film, and when he saw Chen Yun's dazzling Bugatti, he pushed away the crowd and opened the door for Chen Yun , greeted excitedly: "Good morning, boss."

Chen Yun nodded, looked at the crowd gathered behind him, "This is..."

Button turned around to look, and explained to Chen Yun with a smile: "Those are actors who came to audition for the male lead, and they were just asking me about every detail of the male lead's role, and wanted to prepare for the upcoming audition."

"Let's go." Chen Yun walked in front, and the crowd spontaneously gave up a passage to the gate.

Chen Yun and Patton were sitting in yesterday's position. Fitch put the resumes of the people who were going to audition today on the table. Chen Yun didn't even look at them. The things on paper are not important. The most important thing for an actor is the performance of his acting skills. , call start directly.

A tall handsome white man walked in, Barton opened his mouth wide in surprise, looked at the man in disbelief, and said with a bright smile: "HEY, I'm John Krasinski, I hope to get the man from Chen Xin. main character."

After a very brief self-introduction, Chen Yun raised his head and looked at the guy with the same name as John. He looked clumsy but had a face that made people feel good-natured.

Shaking his head in disappointment, Chen Yun said: "What we need is a noble and crazy vampire. He doesn't need to have a smile on his face, he just needs to exude a noble temperament. Your appearance obviously doesn't meet my requirements, but ..."

Barton's heart ached when he heard it. He really wanted to pinch Chen Yun's neck and scream in his ear. The other party was John Krasinski, the popular star in the United States. He starred in the highly acclaimed "The Office". "Shrek 3" has dubbed and acted in many well-known movies. To Barton, this is a superstar. Just standing in front of him makes me feel excited. Boss, you are still talking Say a lot.

"If you are a powerful vampire and your wife is seriously injured by the enemy, when you see this moment, how should you act, in three seconds, three, two, one, ACTION!" Chen Yun waved his hand, making John on stage began to perform.

When John heard the words of ACTION, he seemed to be in the act all of a sudden, his eyes were red, his mouth opened and closed without making any sound, his hands were tightly clenched, and there was a crackling sound.After more than ten seconds passed, John's emotions seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and tears began to flow out. Coupled with his expression, it was easy to infect the people around him. For 1 minute, 2 minutes, his performance has not stopped. When a professional actor does not hear the director call cut, it means that he is currently filming, and he still has this bit of professional ethics.

If he was acting as a normal person, John did a good job, but he was acting as a vampire, a powerful vampire, who could be sad and cry, but he could never be calm. Not like a vampire.Chen Yun frowned and sighed, "CUT."

John immediately put away the performance, wiped off the tears on his face, and hurriedly asked: "Director, how is my performance? Does it meet your requirements?"

Chen Yun shook his head, and said truthfully: "You acted very realistically, but it didn't feel the way I wanted. I'm sorry."

John walked out of the audition room disappointed. Most of the movies he made before were light comedy movies. He also planned to use this movie to complete his transformation. He didn't expect Chen Yun to be so straightforward and directly blocked his hope.

Next, Chen Yun handed over the job to Patton. Now Patton has seen how many handsome actors there are in the United States. In one morning, dozens of handsome actors came prepared. They were either sunny, gloomy, or cheerful. , or silence, from a handsome boy in his teens to a handsome man in his 40s and [-]s, from an unknown amateur to a well-known American star, such as Matt Zuckery, Josie Charles...

Patton was too addicted, Chen Yun just glanced at it, and passed it directly without appearance and temperament. There was still no actor who could be selected as the leading actor in his mind, so he couldn't help sighing, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Is it really so difficult to find a suitable candidate?Is it the same for other movies?

In the first movie, since he starred in it, he didn't need to think about whether the role was suitable or not. He played himself. Now he knows that choosing a role is easy, but choosing a suitable role is very difficult. Now Chen Yun finally understands There are very few reasons why there are so few movies that can be called classics. The storyline is one of the reasons, and more importantly, there are too few suitable candidates for the role.
