Chapter 384
There are five main judges for the audition: first producer Donn Walker, executive producer Katherine Kennedy, assistant producer Erin Kelly, director Robert Marshall and casting director Glenn Feiero.
Of course, it must be Tang En who holds the final decision.
Katherine Zeta Jones has just completed a 5-minute shot performance and the effect is very good.
"She is an excellent actor and has excellent acting skills."
During the internal discussion, Katherine Kennedy first gave a positive answer.
Robert Marshall agreed: "'Yes, she is the female lead I'm looking forward to. The 'Velma' in the movie is a nightclub dancer. It happens that she is also wild and charming enough. This is a temperament. If it is another actor, it will be difficult to perform."
Erin Kelly looked through the information of Katherine Zeta Jones and slowly said: "She learned singing and dancing in her early years. She started performing musicals when she was a teenager. She is full of experience. The information says that she also won the British tap dance championship, which just meets the role conditions of the movie."
Glenn Feiero also agreed: "In my opinion, this character is tailored for her!"
The original version of "Chicago", the one who left the deepest impression on Don N was Katherine Zeta Jones, with refined short hair, which was very outstanding.
Putting aside all external factors, as several others said, Catherine Zeta Jones is indeed the best candidate!
Tang En nodded, "The audition will continue. If there is no better one, then she will!"
Rob Marshall looked happy, and obviously, Katherine Zeta Jones was the actor he was looking forward to.
The director and producer's opinions are consistent, which is a blessing for Hollywood directors.
"The next one...Jennifer Aniston."
Glenn Feiero informed the staff at the door.
But at this moment, a female staff member quickly came over and whispered: "Madonna is here!"
Tang En's expression was shocked, "Are you ready?"
"Just wait outside."
"Please come in!"
At this time, there is no need to be polite. Tang En directly spoke and allowed Madonna to jump into the lineup.
Jennifer Aniston only starred in "Friends", which is just a bit famous in the United States, and is completely different from Madonna.
Even Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts have to take shelter from the wind in front of Madonna.
If it were any Hollywood crew, it would be impossible to entrust international superstar like Madonna to Jiuhou.
Five minutes later, Madonna completed the audition in front of the camera.
Tang En smiled politely: "I performed well!"
Madonna is famously sexually bold, and she gave a charming look at Tang En, regardless of the presence of others. "I heard... if you want to make your movie, you need to sleep with you?"
Tang En cursed ten thousand times in his heart, with a calm expression on his face, "Nothing is absolutely slander!"
Madonna held her hair in her ears and kept squeezing Tang En's eyes, "It's okay, don't break the rules because I did."
Tang En sweated heavily and almost vomited.
Even if he is well maintained, he is still an aunt in her forties. Her cute look is really creepy.
Fortunately, Glenn Feiero promptly rescued the situation, "The rumors from the outside world are nonsense. The reason why Don't have a good movie is because he has a respectable professional attitude. Miss Siconi, what you said... is not true."
Robert Marshall also said: "Madonna, your performance is great, but we need to consider it comprehensively, you can go back now. If it is right, we will contact your agent."
Madonna was half-believing and half-doubted, and then threw a big glamorous look at Tang En and made a phone call.
When she left, Tang En finally couldn't help but shed her cold sweat.
Too exaggerated!
This Madonna...is indeed well-deserved!
Katherine Kennedy couldn't help but laughed out loud.
The laughter didn't matter, and others couldn't help it. For a moment, laughter sounded in the room.
Erin Kelly said: "I think Madonna can, she can sing and dance, she is more wild than Katherine Jones, and she is suitable for the role of 'Vilma'."
Catherine Kennedy also said in fear of the chaos in the world: "Some years ago, she starred in "Madame Peron" and played very well. She also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress and was nominated for the Oscar. She has acting experience."
Glen Feiero also half-jokingly said: "I think it's OK. Madonna's popularity is much higher than that of Catherine Zeta Jones. Using her as the starring actor will increase the future box office revenue by at least $30 million!"
Tang En's face turned pale, gritted his teeth in anger, and refused very firmly: "Impossible! This woman is just a witch!"
Suddenly, he laughed again.
...
In the morning, the first round of auditions was completed, and in the afternoon it was a chemical test, which was to let the two actors act together to see if their interactions were good and whether there was any spark.
Among the two heroines, the candidate for "Vilma" has been basically confirmed, which is Katherine Zeta Jones, who leads all candidates with an absolute advantage.
As for the candidates for "Loxi", five people were initially identified: Diane Mayer, Rachel Vizie, Denise Richards, Winona Reed and Renee Zellweger.
In the afternoon, the crew will arrange for Katherine Zeta Jones to play against these five people separately to see the effect of the reaction.
Of course, because of his special relationship with Donn, Rachel Weisz must have the "right to be given priority".
Because "Velma", one of the two heroines, has been confirmed, is Catherine Zeta Jones, when eating at noon, Don Eun called her over and had a meal with the audition officers of the crew, had an in-depth understanding of the role, and gave a series of explanations on the "chemical test" in the afternoon.
After thinking for a while, Don simply called Rachel Weizi up again and gave some tips.
Catherine Zeta Jones was very excited, her face flushed, and she kept holding her wine glasses to toast them one by one. Although she didn't drink much, she had a sincere attitude.
"Catherine..."
"Mr. Walker, call me Kate!"
"Kate... Well, Kate, I have quite a few friends with 'Kate'." Tang En joked first, and then said seriously, "Your agent, we have contacted you. As long as there is no problem with salary, the role of 'Velma' is yours. I hope you can think more about this role. Believe me, if you play this role well, you will make a big progress in your acting career."
Katherine Zeta Jones immediately said: "Salary must not be a problem! I know the crew's budget is limited, so I am mentally prepared."
Tang En smiled slightly and raised his wine glass, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"
Rachel Weizi sat next to Tang En. Although there were many people present, the actress was thick-skinned enough. She acted coquettishly at Tang En in public and said with a pouting mouth: "What about me?"
"you?"
Tang En smiled and gave her the beef slices cut from her plate, "You have to work hard. Whether you can get the role of 'Loxi' depends on your performance in the afternoon."
Rachel Weizi's mouth bulged high, obviously not very satisfied with Tang En's answer.
She knew that her competitors were Diane Mayer, Denise Richards, Winona Reed and Renee Zellweger, but how could these people compare with her?
Except Winona Reed, she is not as beautiful as her!
Besides, she and Tang En... have a very close relationship!
Katherine Zeta Jones looked at the two of them flirting in public, and didn't find it strange. The actress and the male director were originally a match made by nature. This was how she came here back then, and said with a smile: "Rachel, stop pouting. Mr. Walker has a good reputation. Since you are... friends, he will definitely take care of you extra."
Rachel Weizi glanced at Tang En, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Tang En was calm and had a quiet meal.
At this time, he no longer needs to speak.
The conversation between the two women has explained everything.
All of them are Tang En's subordinates. Since they understand the relationship between Rachel Weisz and him, they must take special care when judging.
The new director Robert Marshall may not know, but other old people from Don't Pictures understand.
Tang En's habit of hiring people is to select talents without avoiding relatives, and start with his own people!
