Chapter 384 It’s unnecessary
At the audition site, several actors were preparing nervously.
Amanda Seyfried and Alexandra Daddario are both newcomers. Although they have participated in some short films and commercials before, this is their first time in a movie.
At this time, their managers were nervously reminding them about audition precautions, mental issues, etc.
The other two British actresses are Emily Blunt and Keira Knightley, Keira Knightley is also young, born in 1985.
Emily Blunt has acting experience, has participated in the filming of several film and television dramas, and also has experience in stage musicals.
There is no doubt that she is the one with the best mentality among the actors who participated in the audition, and she is also the most promising one.
As for Natalie Portman, when she came over she said she had given up on auditioning and was sitting next to little Gilbert chatting with him.
Anne Hathaway came to go through the motions, but the elf princess was still making serious preparations and did not mess up.
Before the audition, little Gilbert went to the green room to see the actors and encourage them. Several actors were a little nervous when they saw the big director.
Little Gilbert smiled and said: "Don't be nervous. The most important thing about an audition is your mentality. Only when you have a good mentality can you perform well."
The actors nodded quickly like chickens pecking at rice: "Director, I understand."
"Well, come on!" Little Gilbert said, then exited the room and let the actors prepare.
Back in the audition hall, little Gilbert watched Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom arrive, as well as Geoffrey Rush.
Seeing little Gilbert come in, Orlando Bloom quickly stood up and said hello: "Hello, director..."
Johnny Depp is more rebellious and has a bit of a rock n roll vibe, but today he has obviously become more polite and also stood up to greet little Gilbert.
Needless to say, Geoffrey Rush is still in place in terms of human sophistication.
Little Gilbert met the three actors and then asked: "Have you read the scripts given to you? John, what do you think of the role of Jack Sparrow?"
Johnny Depp looked a little excited: "I feel like this role is tailor-made for me. I like the characteristics of this character very much, and it is very similar to me."
"That's good. You are the focus of this film. Come on, I look forward to your performance." Little Gilbert encouraged.
Johnny Depp was a little proud, but he kept Keanu Reeves' advice in mind and knew that little Gilbert didn't like people who spoke arrogantly, so he was still a little humble.
"Let's just watch the show. I still need more guidance from you..."
"Okay," little Gilbert sat back in his seat and said to the three actors: "There will be an audition and you guys will cooperate and help me select a suitable actor."
"No problem," the three actors came here for this reason, and they would certainly agree at this time.
Natalie Portman was chatting with little Gilbert at this time: "Have you gone to see the actors? Which actor do you think is good?"
"They all have their own characteristics. It depends on the performance in the audition." Little Gilbert's answer was very formulaic.
Natalie Portman rolled her eyes and said: "You directors are always very precise in what you say."
Little Gilbert was very interested: "Is George like this too?"
"Of course it is," Natalie Portman said, smiling to herself: "Speaking of which, I am the same person."
Natalie Portman is such a thoughtful person, so others have to be extremely careful when dealing with her.
But little Gilbert doesn't have to be like this. One is that everyone is a squid, and little Gilbert is the number one and leader of the liberal squid forces. Natalie Portman doesn't dare to do anything bad.
Secondly, even if Natalie Portman acts evil, she can't hurt little Gilbert.
With little Gilbert's identity and status, there is no need to say or do many things. Naturally, someone will help solve the little conspiracies surrounding him.
In other words, if you want to compete with Little Gilbert, you need at least someone who is equal to Little Gilbert.
In Hollywood, such people are Spielberg, George Lucas and other big guys, but these two people are definitely not the same.
Spielberg was the guide and teacher for little Gilbert to enter Hollywood. George Lucas received help from little Gilbert's father to gain a foothold in Hollywood.
In North America and on Wall Street, at least one must be on the Forbes rich list to be qualified to plot against Little Gilbert.
But having said that, unless there is a deep hatred, not many rich people will escalate to personal attacks in normal business competition.
Because this is equivalent to opening Pandora's box. Today you plot against little Gilbert himself, and tomorrow they will plot against you. By then, everyone will be in danger and no one will end well.
After chatting for a while, the audition officially began.
The first person to audition was Amanda Seyfried. The girl performed well and was not too nervous. Maybe it’s because the opposite actor is Orlando Bloom, but it seems his acting skills are better than Orlando Bloom’s.
In fact, Orlando Bloom has been enrolling in acting classes, but his talent is really average, and he is still a little short of the passing line.
After Amanda Seyfried finished auditioning, Natalie Portman commented: "I don't think Amanda can do it."
"How do you say that?" Little Gilbert was a little surprised. Generally speaking, in such an audition, an outsider like Natalie Portman is not suitable to interrupt.
Being able to interrupt proved that she did not regard herself as an outsider. Perhaps this was also the impression she wanted to create on little Gilbert. Natalie Portman explained: "Amanda's appearance is too modern and has no classical flavor. She is suitable for acting in modern urban films or science fiction films."
Little Gilbert then remembered why Amanda looked familiar. In her previous life, she had collaborated with Boss Jia in "Time Planning Bureau", and her appearance in it was pretty good.
Natalie Portman makes sense, Amanda Seyfried is good enough to play the role of a vase, but she is not classical.
The second person to audition was Alexandra Daddario. Her eyes were particularly attractive, but her partner was Johnny Depp, a weirdo.
Maybe Johnny Depp scared the girl, but Alexandra Daddario didn't perform well. She even forgot her words at one point, and her performance was also jerky.
So little Gilbert silently gave Alexandra Daddario a cross and eliminated her.
Maybe we can introduce these two beauties to the crew of "Fast and Furious 2", where preparations are about to begin. The more beauties the better.
Then to make a cameo in this movie, it is not in vain that the two girls have worked so hard and made so many preparations, little Gilbert thought.
Thinking of this, little Gilbert talked to his assistant and asked her to notify their agents.
The opportunity to play the leading role was gone, but they got the opportunity to star in two movies. The two girls were satisfied enough.
The remaining contenders are Emily Blunt and Keira Knightley. Keira Knightley auditioned first and she performed very well.
Producer Charles Rowan said: "It seems that British citizenship is a blessing. Keira performed well and I think she is a good fit."
Johnny Depp rarely interjected: "I also think she has a bit of aristocratic temperament, a very typical British rose."
"No rush, let's watch another actor's audition first." Little Gilbert made his decision.
For the role, Gilbert Jr. had the final say, and the person he decided on could not be overturned by Charles Rowan.
Emily Blunt soon came in to audition. Compared to Keira Knightley, the advantage she had was that she had more acting experience.
In fact, there is not much difference between the two in terms of classical appearance. In terms of figure, they both need to be squeezed together.
In terms of artistic temperament, Emily Blunt went to acting school and was influenced by it. Keira Knightley's father is an actor and her mother is a playwright.
Coincidentally, both of them are the same height, 170cm.
Keira Knightley also has an unknown past, she once served as a stand-in for Natalie Portman.
Natalie Portman obviously knew Keira Knightley, an actress who used to be her stunt double. She was even more surprised: "Where did you find these two actors with similar temperaments?"
Little Gilbert shrugged and said, "I don't know either. I figured it out during the audition."
"How about letting Jacqueline do the math, or maybe Scarlett." Charles Rowan suggested.
"No, Jacqueline doesn't want to star in this movie. Maybe she doesn't want to work with Orlando Bloom anymore!" Little Gilbert shook his head and continued: "As for Scarlett, she is too coquettish, and..."
After little Gilbert compared his height, Charles Rowan understood that Scarlett was not tall, which was a flaw.
"Why don't you want to work with Orlando Bloom?" Natalie Portman wondered this.
"It's just a joke, saying Orlando's acting is terrible..."
Orlando Bloom heard what little Gilbert said, and he felt aggrieved: "I tried hard to take acting classes, but I didn't make much progress, and there was nothing I could do."
Everyone laughed when they heard this sentence. In addition to the "Lord of the Rings" series, Orlando Bloom has also participated in other movies in the past two years.
But the result is the same, that is, they are scolded by film critics.
What's more, he said that he was nothing if he left little Gilbert.
Faced with this situation, most actors would choose to stay away from Little Gilbert to prove themselves. Orlando Bloom, on the other hand, was relatively fragile and chose to seek refuge with Gilbert Jr. to regain his confidence.
After some final discussion and taking into account the opinions of the three actors, as well as the opinions of the producer and director team, Gilbert Jr. chose Keira Knightley.
If it doesn't work, just squeeze it in. Anyway, it won't affect the movie's sales.
According to the track, the original cast of "Pirates of the Caribbean" gathered together, and little Gilbert held an audition, which felt like he was working in vain.
But that was not the case. First, he met several good actors through this audition.
After the audition, Little Gilbert left his business card to Emily Blunt, looking forward to opportunities to collaborate in the future.
Second, this is also a brand-building plan. He tells everyone in Hollywood through auditions that his project will always be the best and hottest one, forming a brand effect.
And at the beginning, Gilbert Jr. did audition with the intention of seeing if there was a better actress than Keira Knightley.
But it turns out that it is indeed reasonable for someone to get this role in his previous life.
The actors are all here, and all that's left is the set-up and preparation of the crew.
