Chapter 383
Every time Gilbert Jr.'s new movie project is launched, it is undoubtedly the focus of all Hollywood's attention.
Every time he chooses an actor and what role the actor plays, it can cause heated discussions in Hollywood.
This time is no exception. The character released is a protagonist named Elizabeth Swann. She is the protagonist, God!
Character introduction: She is a British royal governor, the daughter of a nobleman, and is in love with the young blacksmith Will Turner.
All of a sudden, all the British actresses were excited. Actresses elsewhere are not disappointed either. After all, opportunities are earned by oneself.
The character can be British, but the actor doesn't have to be. Isn't that what "Harry Potter" is like? The actors who play Harry Potter are all Americans.
There are many actresses with deep connections, all relying on various connections, hoping to win this role, even if there is an audition opportunity, it will be enough to attract the attention of little Gilbert.
Anne Burton, Little Gilbert's assistant director, also told Little Gilbert that she had met some dream-chasing actresses and wanted to kiss them.
But Anne Burton liked handsome men and was not interested in beautiful women, so she declined.
Anne Burton is already a mother of two children and has long stopped engaging in these unspoken rules.
The casting director Richard is happy. Generally speaking, only Gilbert Jr., the director, has the right to decide on the main role of the film, and Richard has no authority.
But apart from the main characters, there are still some characters who don't appear much, such as small roles with scenes and lines. Little Gilbert generally doesn't pay much attention to them.
The casting director would submit a list of candidates to young Gilbert, who would read them and be fine.
Of course, if the actor selected by the casting director does not perform well or does not fit the role, the casting director will inevitably be held accountable by Little Gilbert.
But Richard would never make such a basic mistake when he was playing. He always prioritized work.
Little Gilbert also understands that when the team is filming together, they are not looking for a moral model. Serena, the art director who works with him, loves sleeping with handsome guys and sleeps with more than two at a time, but she never delays her work.
Little Gilbert never cared too much about his private life, as long as it didn't delay his work. Don’t be afraid if you are delayed. Take responsibility when you need to.
In fact, many Hollywood crews are like this. If you want to find a moral model in Hollywood, you can only say that you have come to the wrong place.
Let's talk about the choice of the heroine. The one who can be released is still the protagonist who was auditioned by Little Gilbert himself. You can imagine the attention that the role of Elizabeth Swann received.
George Lucas called little Gilbert: "Little Gilbert, can you give Nat a chance to audition? She is very interested in this role."
In fact, Natalie Portman was not interested in the role. She was interested in little Gilbert.
She was still young at that time, and she met little Gilbert when she was starring in "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace", and the two parties also had an ice cream agreement.
But after that, the two of them didn't interact much, and they didn't have much contact.
Natalie Portman is a thoughtful actress. In terms of scheming, there are probably not many people in Hollywood who can compare with her.
This time Natalie Portman wants to ride on Little Gilbert's line again. The combination of two Hollywood squids must be the scene that the squid forces like to see the most.
As for the women of Little Gilbert, Natalie Portman doesn't care very much. After getting married, they can live their own lives and play their own things.
So she asked George Lucas, who was very optimistic about her, for a chance to audition.
Little Gilbert had to give George Lucas face, so he agreed directly without much thought: "No problem, just ask Nat to come over and audition when the time comes.
But George, let me be the first to say something ugly. If Nat's audition performance was not good, I would not have cast her. "
Although Gilbert Jr. said his performance was poor, he actually eliminated Natalie Portman. There's nothing wrong with Natalie Portman's acting skills, but she doesn't fit the role. Of course George Lucas understood: "As long as there is an audition opportunity, I don't think she will have any special opinions."
After talking about this, George Lucas also chatted with Gilbert Jr. about Lucasfilm and the "Star Wars" series, and revealed his intention to retire.
"After the prequel trilogy, I plan to retire, little Gilbert," George Lucas said.
Little Gilbert had already expected this, but he still said: "George, is it too early to retire now?
If you retire, it will be a big loss to Hollywood."
George Lucas said: "Actually, I had the idea of retiring a long time ago. I am old and can't keep up with the times."
Then, George Lucas changed the topic and said: "The only thing I am worried about is Lucasfilm and the "Star Wars" series.
I'd like you to take over if you can, little Gilbert. "
"Me?" Little Gilbert pondered for a while and said, "I will consider it, George."
In fact, "Star Wars" is not very attractive to little Gilbert, but Lucasfilm and Industrial Light and Magic are both very high-quality assets.
George Lucas said this, so under the same conditions, George Lucas will definitely prioritize himself.
But it's still early days, as George Lucas still has a distribution contract with 20th Century Fox to complete a "Star Wars" movie.
In addition to Natalie Portman confirmed to participate in the final audition, after some selection, Amanda Seyfried, Alexandra Daddario, Emily Blunt, and Keira ·Knightley has become a candidate for audition.
The characteristic of Amanda and Alexandra is that they are big, they don't need to be squeezed, and their appearance is delicate enough to function as vases.
Emily Blunt and Keira Knightley are British actors.
Little Gilbert looked at it and stuffed Anne Hathaway in, and together with Natalie Portman, became the final six actors to audition.
Amanda, Alexandra, and Keira Knightley are all relatively young, born in the 1980s. In fact, the script is set to make Elizabeth Swann 17 or 18 years old.
As for acting skills, Natalie Portman and Emily Blunt are undoubtedly better. Anne Hathaway's advantage is that she has an extraordinary relationship with little Gilbert.
The actors who auditioned each had their own advantages, and a battle finally began at the end of August at Melon Studios in Los Angeles.
Natalie Portman was not very interested in the audition. She was just going through the motions. The important thing was to reconnect with little Gilbert.
This is part of Natalie Portman's plan. If she wants to become a legendary Hollywood actress, she must take advantage of everyone and every advantage.
Anne Hathaway actually didn't care, she wasn't very interested in this role, but little Gilbert asked her to come over for the audition, and she couldn't refuse directly.
In the words of little Gilbert, she creates pressure for other actors.
The only ones who are truly competitive are the other four actresses. Who will get the role will have to be auditioned to find out.
Earlier, the newly formed "Pirates" crew had signed actor contracts with Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom.
Veteran Hollywood actor Geoffrey Rush has also agreed to join the cast and play the role of Barbossa.
For this actress's audition, the three confirmed actors will come to the scene to cooperate with the actresses in the audition to see who will be more effective.
