Chapter 381 Celebrities from all walks of life take turns to appear
Besides the audition venue, Benedict sat quietly.
The actors and actresses who participated in the auditions all around me did a lot of things.
Some were mumbling with their eyes closed, some were walking around impatiently, and some were smashing walls and floors inexplicably.
Benedict was not disturbed by the noisy atmosphere at all.
This was his first time getting into the second round of auditions for a big-budget film.
It would be a lie to say that I am not nervous.
But as an actor who has experience in many Shakespearean stage plays, he has a unique ability to regulate emotions.
That is to review again the setting of the role that I want to audition for.
Chu Xuan, a calm and witty character like a robot. He is cold and calm, and is the representative of "wisdom".
He likes fishing, watching stars, and has a preference for brightly colored things. He often...
The person who has the deepest influence on him is...
Past experiences...
While recalling these contents, Benedict naturally thought of Chen, the original author of his characters.
Ever since "Sherlock", I always feel that Chen is the most suitable person to play Chu Xuan.
When Benedict summarizes the characteristics of characters, he can't help but think of Chen's Sherlock.
It feels familiar yet strange.
He shook his head to get rid of the complicated thoughts in his heart.
In many film and television dramas, I can only play a small role. This is the best opportunity, so I must seize it.
I'm just waiting for a chance.
He believed that no one was more prepared for this audition than he was.
"Next, Benedict Cumberbatch."
The staff's voice sounded.
Benedict stood up, straightened his back, raised his head slightly, adjusted his posture, made a confident expression, and walked into the audition room.
Chen Linfeng’s expression condensed.
Although celebrities such as "The Hulk", "Loki", "Professor X (Little)" and "Batman" have come to audition before.
But when the "Sherlock" from his previous life came in, he still felt a little nervous.
Chen Linfeng subconsciously waved his hand.
Then, he covertly turned the pages of the resume in his hand and lowered his head to read.
Sure enough, the photo on the resume corresponds to the real person.
"Chen, what's wrong?"
Bruckheimer saw something wrong with his expression, so he asked.
"Nothing." Chen Linfeng shook his head slightly.
You can't say that you have taken someone else's position. I feel a little guilty when you see me.
After the interlude, Benedict, with his back to the wall, spoke skillfully about his personal introduction.
"Have you seen the original version of "Infinite World"?"
"Yes."
"When do you think Chu Xuan had feelings?" Casting director Fendi asked.
“I think he has had some changes since his resurrection, just because his body cannot secrete certain hormones, and his feelings are somewhat lacking and will not show up.
However, feelings and emotions The difference is that Chu Xuan himself probably doesn’t even know when feelings really arise, maybe only the author knows.”
No, I don't know, the most likely person in the previous life knows.
Chen Linfeng complained in his heart.
Benedict's answer continued.
“When Chu Xuan broke through to the fourth level, after possessing the light of the soul, he regained his essence, changed his genes, and could express his emotions normally. This was clearly shown in the final decisive battle.”
The above paragraph has actually pointed out several points that need to be achieved when playing the role of Chu Xuan.
When can emotions be expressed in movements, when can expressions be changed, and when should significant changes be made.
Fendy nodded to express his approval of the other party's answer.
Then he asked some other questions.
The other party answered one by one.
It can be seen that Benedict does have a deep understanding of the novel.
"Please perform a scene where Chu Xuan and the bodyguard experiment with the characteristics of ghosts."
The staff on the side handed over the corresponding script.
After 3 minutes of preparation time.
Everyone saw the performance of the auditionees.
Benedict was not asked to perform any more, and Fendi quickly handed him over and continued to perform the next scene, where Chu Xuan sheds tears in the final battle.
The entire process is over and the players exit.
Peter, Bruckheimer and everyone else looked at Chen in unison.
Chen Linfeng spread his hands and said, "Look what I'm doing, isn't this a good performance?"
Pitt couldn't help but said, "Don't you think he plays a very similar person?"< br>
Bruckheimer followed, "Yes, very similar."
The Russo brothers nodded together, "How can they be so similar?"
Chen Linfeng rolled his eyes, "This is boring. This is called heroes seeing the same thing. I think he did a good job."
< br>These people can see it clearly, I don’t know if it is imitation or other reasons.
Benedict's performance as an actor is very similar to Chen Linfeng's previous performance.
Even the temperaments are similar.
In fact, it is definitely not possible to compare characters from two different dramas out of thin air.
But the strange thing is that Chen Linfeng has tried the role of Chu Xuan before.
You know, when Chen decided on the protagonist before, it was not just a matter of words.
If you are really not suitable, others will not let you in just because you want to act and have the conditions.
After all, with such a big investment, no one is willing to lose money.
In fact, Chen Linfeng auditioned for Zheng Zha alone in September, and got everyone's approval, and that was when he was really cast.
At that time, in order to gag, he also tried Chu Xuan by the way. In fact, he did not prepare much and almost purely used the "Sherlock" acting method, and the result was also recognized.
It’s just that he has a firm belief and just wants to play Zheng Zha.
No one else can change it, only him.
But now, I saw someone whose performance was very similar to Chen's audition performance.
How can it not be surprising. They didn't think Chen had anything to do with this person.
After all, "Shenxia" has been promoting all over the world before, and they all know it.
It was just such a coincidence that they couldn't help but say a few words.
Only Chen Linfeng knows, so it’s strange that he doesn’t look like him.
When he plays Sherlock, he imitates the original work from his previous life. Now that he plays it himself, of course it feels the same.
Several people had a heated discussion about whether this person was qualified or not.
But how can I put it, the original author personally felt this way.
You can't really say that you understand "Infinite World" better than Chen, right?
Therefore, most people present finally checked Benedict's performance.
Chen Linfeng thought about it and did the same thing, and wrote in the comments later.
“The actor’s image and temperament match, so I suggest you give it some consideration.”
I robbed you of Sherlock before, and now I have Chu Xuan, so we don’t owe each other anything.
Actually, Chen Linfeng thought about finding a Chinese to play this role.
But he only mentioned it and was rejected by the collective.
The only two important roles are all played by Chinese. Just kidding, having Chen as the protagonist is taking a risk.
I have no choice but to pick among the white people, including "Sherlock" and "Doctor Strange" in the previous life, who seem to be smart people.
The whole day was spent auditioning for "Chu Xuan".
Even in the third round, there are still forty or fifty actors.
Finally four or five will be selected to enter the final round.
However, if there are no surprises later, the third round is usually almost decided, and the final round is just confirmed again.
The next day was the audition for "Zhan Lan".
Chen Linfeng still watched the whole process.
Scarlett Johansson and Emma Watson both came to audition.
In addition, there are "eldest cousin" Jennifer Lawrence, "Twilight Girl" Kristen Stewart, etc.
After watching their performances, Chen Linfeng didn't think anyone was particularly eye-catching.
The main reason is Zhan Lan, who is almost like a vase.
Everyone knows about vases in commercial films, as long as they are qualified.
Chen Linfeng ticked both Scarlett and Emma's audition list, and the rest depends on off-site factors, who strives harder.
But to be honest, he doesn't think much of Scarlett.
Emma has not gone astray yet, she is indeed a bit too strong at this stage.
A vase, and there is no need to consider acting skills. Disney is likely to consider market factors and finally choose "Hermione".
But Chen Linfeng doesn’t need to worry about these.
On the third day, Zhang Jie was auditioning.
This role is basically destined to be played by a black man.
After all, mentor, good person, sacrifice, all the elements are present.
In Hollywood blockbusters, almost all black people play similar roles.
Then, Chen Linfeng met relatively famous black stars such as Will Smith and Denzel Washington.
In addition, Morpheus from "The Matrix" and Director Cyclops from the Future Avengers also came to join in the fun.
Even the black captain from "Resident Evil 1" is here.
Chen Linfeng covered his forehead at that time, feeling blind.
The mission world at the beginning of "Infinite World" is "Resident Evil 1".
You can't let two identical people meet.
Although in the following story, there are multiple worlds, parallel universes, etc. that unfold.
But many moviegoers don’t know it if they don’t read novels.
In order to prevent the audience from feeling inconsistent, it is better not to do this kind of operation in the future.
On the contrary, in the latter two movies, after the settings are revealed, similar operations can be used as easter eggs.
Chen Linfeng crossed Laurence Fishburne on the audition form.
Brother, you came too early.
Except for the first time, Chen Linfeng estimates that Will Smith and Denzel Washington are unlikely to be selected.
The salaries of these two actors are a bit high, and as non-protagonist actors, their salaries are sky-high.
The price/performance ratio is too low.
We also need to set aside a lot of money for special effects and scenery for different mission worlds.
As a producer, Chen Linfeng moved his DNA and then gave these two people a cross.
In the next few days, the auditions for roles such as Zhao Yingkong, Ling Dian, Cheng Xiao, and Bawang were all concluded.
Liu Qianqian came to audition for Zhao Yingkong, not just Chen Linfeng.
Bruckheimer, Pitt, the Russo Brothers and several others all gave her a tacit understanding.
Another vase role, not given to anyone.
Liu Qianqian has almost no opponents on her way to becoming a vase in martial arts.
Especially in the setting of Zhao Yingkong, he is from a martial arts family and has a feud with Zhao Zukong.
In this case, European and American actors were almost immediately rejected.
How can there be any martial arts family in the West?
Therefore, this role was almost exclusively designed for an East Asian actress.
Back to the category of East Asian actresses.
It can be said that Liu Qianqian is one of the actresses who best fits this role.
During the audition, because Chen Linfeng explained the questions in advance and provided personal help, his performance was very impressive.
Domestic stars such as Li Binbin, Fan Binbin, Zhang Ziyi, and even seniors like Michelle Yeoh.
As well as some foreign actors from Bangguo and Neon, all came to participate in the audition.
But at least they have shortcomings in one aspect.
Either he is not well-known enough, his age is inappropriate, or his physical condition is simply not up to standard.
It is indeed not more suitable than Sissi.
Therefore, this role was decided.
