Chapter 437 The winner
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
The early morning sun hangs in the sky, setting thousands of lights. A white business car rushed out of the city of Malibu and galloped towards Burbank to the east.
In the car, Francis Lawrence sat in the spacious back seat, looking in a pretty good mood.
Next to it, the dark-skinned Paula Patton held one of Francis Lawrence's hand tightly, and a smile was always on the corner of his mouth. With a boyfriend like Francis Lawrence, it often became very easy to compete for the role.
As long as Francis Lawrence develops smoothly, she can use him to get more roles and may even play the heroine of a major production.
Thinking more than half a year ago, she observed for a long time and confirmed that Francis Lawrence really sympathized with and liked black people. Then she took the initiative to attack and grabbed this boyfriend.
The more than half a year of getting along has made her more sure of this.
"There is an audition today." Paula Patton asked at this time, "There won't be a problem, right?"
Francis Lawrence smiled and gently patted Paula Patton's hand, "Today's audition is a formality, and there will be no accidents."
Paula Patton nodded slightly, "I always feel..."
"Don't worry!" Francis Lawrence directly interrupted Paula Patton and said, "Aziva Gossman's attitude yesterday was very obvious. Your audition performance completely surpassed that Alexandra Dadario."
He thought for a while and said, "Matthew Horner, who recommended Alexandra Dadario, had nothing to say in the end, and could only watch Aziva Gossman assuming that you will become the winner of today."
"Yes." Paula Patton's heart was in his stomach.
Francis Lawrence said again, "Have you said hello to the agent? I guess the crew will contact your agent as late as tomorrow."
Paula Patton laughed, "The agent is ready for negotiation."
The business car entered Burbank, first put down Paula Patton at the door of an agency, and then carried Francis Lawrence to Warner Studios. After getting off the car, Francis Lawrence came directly to the studio's audition room. Matthew, David Heyman and Aziva Gossman were already sitting in the audition room.
Francis Lawrence was in a good mood today. Not only did he say hello to David Heyman and Aziva Gossman, but he also nodded to Matthew.
Matthew also nodded at him with a smile.
Francis Lawrence came to his seat and sat down. Seeing Matthew smiling at him, he suddenly had an idea: Should Matthew Horner do this to make up for the relationship between the two parties and take the initiative to show kindness to him? After all, he is the director of the film and has great power in filming. If an actor and a director do it hard, it is not a wise choice.
Thinking of this, Francis Lawrence couldn't help but nodded slightly. This possibility is very big. It is normal for a loser to show kindness to a winner in the Hollywood circle.
The door of the audition room was pushed open from outside at this time, and the casting director walked in. Not long after he sat down, a staff member walked in with an actress.
Matthew glanced at the actress. She looked like she was about her early twenties and seemed to be a Latino.
The Latino actress came to the camera and briefly introduced herself according to the requirements of the casting director.
"I am Alice Braga, Sao Paulo from Brazil..." The Latino actress's English accent was a little problem, and her pronunciation was not very clear. "I have appeared in two films: "Blind Flu" and "City of God"..."
Hearing the name "City of God", Matthew couldn't help but look at the Latino actress carefully. In 2004, he watched this video through videotapes. "City of God" is definitely one of the few films that can make him have a strong interest in the Oscar-winning movies.
He even thought that this Brazilian movie was quite outstanding and would become a classic in later generations.
If it weren't for the time he had run into "Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" and Peter Jackson, it would be an exaggeration to give the director of "City of God" the best director, Little Jinren.
Of course, this is just his own thoughts. It is not an English movie, especially a Brazilian movie. It is very difficult to get the best director.
Just as Matthew was thinking about it, Alice Braga had already started a performance according to the casting director's request, but he did not pay attention to Alice Braga's audition. Before Francis Lawrence came to the audition room, he had enough communication with David Heyman and Aziva Gossman.
After an emergency understanding last night, the two producers confirmed what he said, and it was a foregone conclusion that Alexandra Dadario won the supporting actress Anne.
Francis Lawrence's eyes also did not look at Alice Braga. He would sweep over Matthew from time to time. Seeing Matthew's distracted look, he became more sure of his previous thoughts.
Matthew Horner has been defeated and is no longer concerned about the audition.
He slid his lips slightly, and his nose made a slight hum that was almost undetectable...
"Okay, let's get to this place." The voice of the casting director came at this time, "Miss Alice Braga, the latest will not exceed this Friday. We will notify you of the audition results."
"Thank you." Alice Braga said, and quickly left the audition room.
Then, the casting director turned off the camera and walked out of the audition room.
Soon, in the audition room, there were four people left in Matthew, David Heyman, Aziva Gossman and Francis Lawrence.
Francis Lawrence first looked at Aziva Gossman, then looked at Matthew and found that Matthew still looked absent-minded, as if he was indifferent to the final result.
Yes, judging from yesterday's situation, failure is a foregone conclusion. I guess for the sake of face, he no longer wants to have unnecessary disputes.
Just as Frances Lawrence was about to withdraw his gaze, Matthew suddenly looked at him and nodded with a smile.
As a winner, Francis Lawrence felt that he should have the style of a winner, just as Matthew Horner is very enlightened as a loser.
So, he nodded with a smile.
"Everyone..." Aziva Gosman coughed, attracted everyone's attention and said, "The audition for all actors of Anne is completed here."
He looked at David Heyman, Matthew and Francis Lawrence next to each other and asked, "Do you have any objections?"
Matthew shook his head first and said nothing.
Francis Lawrence felt more and more that Matthew gave up.
David Heyman said at this time, "Alice Braga is not suitable. Her English is too poor, and we don't have enough time for her to correct her accent."
Aziva Gosman said without hesitation, "Then you don't have to think about her."
After hearing this, Francis Lawrence was completely relieved. The final unstable factor was ruled out. It seemed that Paula Patton was the supporting role.
Aziva Gosman continued, "Now we will confirm the candidate for the actors of this role, and I will issue a notice in the afternoon. Let me tell you what you think."
Hearing this, Francis Lawrence immediately interrogated, "I still recommend Paula Patton. As for the current situation, Paula Patton is the most suitable one among the actors participating in the audition."
After saying that, he looked at Matthew specifically, and Matthew was still sitting there safely without any intention of refuting.
Francis Lawrence knew very well that the overall situation was settled now.
Aziva Gosman held his chest with one hand and his cheek with the other, as if he was seriously considering the words of Francis Lawrence.
"Let me tell me what I think." David Heyman suddenly spoke, "Paula Patton's acting skills are obviously better than other actors..."
Seeing David Heyman speak up to support him, Francis Lawrence is more confident.
But what he didn't expect was that David Heyman's next words changed, "But I think Alexandra Dadario is more suitable for the role of Anne."
As soon as these words were spoken, Francis Lawrence was stunned.
David Heyman said much more than that. He said, "Aziva, when you created the script, you once told me that the character Anne is more of an embellishment for the doomsday New York, a means to relieve the audience's loneliness and sadness. An actress with a beautiful appearance and sexy figure has a significantly better effect."
Francis Lawrence looked at David Heyman with a little surprise. Before he could react, Aziva Gossman nodded, "What you said makes sense. Alexandra Dadario is indeed more suitable for the role of Anne."
Although what Matthew said is just a small matter for a big man in New York politics, it is best to put such small matters below the table instead of being put out directly.
Aziva Gossman has been working hard in Hollywood for so many years, and such a simple truth is still very clear.
The development of things and the sudden turn of imagination caught Francis Lawrence off guard. He never expected that the current situation would occur.
While Aziva Gosman had not made his final decision, he spoke quickly, "Paula Patton's appearance and figure are not worse than Alexandra Dadario!"
Aziva Gosman shook his head directly, "There is no comparison between the two." Seeing that Francis Lawrence wanted to speak again, he raised his hand to stop him and said, "David, I will send a formal notice to the Angels Agency in the afternoon, telling them that Alexandra Dadario passed this audition."
After saying that, Aziva Gosman didn't talk to Frances Lawrence anymore and left the audition room directly.
Chapter completed!
