Hollywood Director 1992

Link stayed in the audition office for over an hour, watching the audition process of seven actors.

Among the auditioning actors, Edward Norton, Joaquin Phoenix, Ryan Phillippe, and Matt Damon performed well, while the others were average, with some issues.

Some had a temperament that was either too mature or too young, making them unsuitable for playing high school students.

For example, Ben Affleck and Paul Walker, both had good looks, but their temperament was mature, making it difficult to play high school students.

Then there's Leonardo DiCaprio, who is 19 this year, but has a baby face and looks like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, which doesn't quite fit with the others and makes him unsuitable for the lead role.

After excluding the unsuitable candidates, the remaining people are rearranged and combined to cast the most suitable actors for each role.

The specific arrangements will be decided by the audition team first, and if he is not satisfied with the results, he can readjust them.

"Link? Good afternoon, Director Link!"

Leaving the audition office and preparing to take the elevator back to his office upstairs, the elevator doors opened, and a sweet-faced, slightly chubby blonde girl came out of the elevator, immediately nodding and greeting him upon seeing him.

However, she stood at the elevator entrance and forgot to move aside as the doors were closing, almost getting her shoulder hit.

"Hello!"

Link reached out to block the elevator doors, and the girl blushed as she stepped out of the elevator.

The girl was in her early twenties, with a good figure and a sweet face, her blonde hair tied in a ponytail with some bangs, and her lips naturally curved upward, giving her a sense of humor. She looked like Jennifer Aniston.

Okay, it really was Jennifer Aniston, and she was also on the list of people entering the third round of auditions.

She had a good appearance, blonde hair, and a sweet face, wearing a T-shirt and having a slender waist, which was somewhat in line with the female lead.

However, Rachel's character, played by her, left Link with too deep an impression, making it seem a bit awkward to have her play the female lead.

"Director Link, what are you doing here? No, I mean, I'm very happy to see you."

Jennifer Aniston was a little incoherent.

"Ms. Aniston, I'm also very happy to see you. Are you here for the audition? The female lead audition is at 2:00 PM."

"Director Link, you know me?"

Jennifer blinked excitedly and said with a smile, "I live quite far away, so I came early."

"Okay, good luck."

Link smiled, said goodbye, and walked into the elevator.

The elevator doors slowly closed, when suddenly a hand reached in, and Jennifer Aniston stood at the elevator entrance, looking at him nervously.

"Ms. Aniston, is there something wrong?"

"Director Link, I'm your fan, can you help me sign an autograph?"

Jennifer Aniston asked, her cheeks flushed.

"Sure, do you like my movies or my novels?"

"I like them all!"

"Alright!"

Link took out a pen, signed her notebook, and added a string of numbers, handing it back to her.

Jennifer Aniston quickly thanked him.

After the elevator left, Jennifer Aniston patted her ample chest.

Just now, she didn't know where she got the courage to stop Link's elevator, and it seemed incredible now that she thought about it.

However, it was worth it.

Jennifer Aniston looked at the signature and phone number in her notebook, her lips curled up, revealing a sweet and delightful smile.

The third round of auditions for "Final Destination" lasted for three days.

The final cast selected were: Ryan Phillippe as the male lead Alex, Liv Tyler as the female lead, Edward Norton as the second male lead Carter, Joaquin Phoenix as the third male lead Todd, Renée Russo as the female teacher Valerie Lewton, Angelina Jolie as the third female lead Terry Chaney, and Ben Affleck as the fourth male lead Bill Brudock.

Matt Damon, Paul Walker, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jennifer Aniston, Renée Zellweger, Sandra Bullock, Leonardo DiCaprio, and others played minor supporting roles in the film.

The reason for this selection was that the casting team, after repeated comparisons, chose the most suitable group from three sets of actor combinations. Like a jigsaw puzzle, these people worked best together, while the other two groups were less effective.

"Really?"

Link picked up Edward Norton's photo, "Carter is arrogant, impulsive, and easily angered. Is Edward Norton that kind of person?"

Sophia smiled, "Remember what I said when we first met? Many men have a gentle exterior, but are inwardly irritable and easily angered, because the gentleness they show is the result of suppressing their inner emotions. The more they suppress, the gentler they seem. Ms. Thomas said Edward Norton is that kind of person. As long as you can dig into his inner self during filming, he is fully capable of playing this role."

Link nodded, seemingly convinced.

In the future, there will be a movie called "Fight Club," starring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt. The character played by Edward gradually becomes wild and hysterical, which is very different from his appearance. Edward Norton did a good job in that movie.

This person does have a lot of potential to be explored.

"Why is Angelina Jolie the third female lead? You were previously optimistic about Drew Barrymore."

Link picked up Angelina Jolie's file.

This future sex goddess is 18 years old this year. She used to be an extra on film sets when she was a child, and last year she played a supporting role in the sci-fi movie "Cyborg 2".

The movie has not been released yet.

Angelina Jolie is considered a newcomer.

"What's wrong, are you reluctant to let go of Drew? Should I help you get her out?"

Sophia joked.

Link shook his head, "Last time you suggested Drew play the third female lead, I thought you two were closer."

"Of course not. Drew and Angelina Jolie are just acquaintances, and we don't have much interaction. I won't favor anyone during casting. The reason for choosing Angelina Jolie is that she, like the third female lead Jenny, is an unconventional girl. Whether it's her dress or her temperament, she has that kind of vibe.

Drew used to be unconventional, but now she's more normal. In recent years, her roles on the screen have been mainly good girls and sexy girls, lacking that kind of vibe, so Angelina Jolie is more suitable for this role than Drew."

Sophia tapped the table, "Any other questions?"

"The fourth male lead Bill Brudock needs an actor who looks simple and foolish. Ben Affleck has a more outstanding appearance and is likely to steal the show, making him less suitable for this role."

"When deciding on the candidates, I also mentioned this issue to Ms. Thomas. Ms. Thomas said that Ben looks very dull, and cutting his hair short would make him look even more foolish. If he gains a little weight, he would be eighty percent in line with the role. Ms. Thomas said that if you don't like Ben, there is an alternative here."

Sophia pulled out an actor's file from the pile of information.

Link looked at it and saw a familiar face, Matt LeBlanc, the third male lead in "Friends," who had auditioned for the male lead in "Ghost Story" last time.

Thinking of Matt LeBlanc's performance in "Friends," he looks relatively foolish and has some comedic elements, making him more suitable than Ben Affleck.

"Matt LeBlanc is good, let him try."

"Okay, whatever you say. Any other opinions?"

Sophia smiled from across the table.

Link flipped through the pile of rejected actor files on the table. Among them, several fresh-faced newcomers would become big stars in the future. It's a pity that he couldn't leave an important mark on their acting careers at the beginning.

Link was preparing to hand these files over to the United Talent Agency (UTA), asking them to contact the people and see if they were willing to sign with them.

If he could sign them, he, as a shareholder, would be able to get more dividends when they became big stars in the future.

"That's it, hand it over to the production team and notify them to sign the contracts. We'll start filming next week."

"Okay!"

Sophia left with the files.

Link picked up the phone and called Marty Baum, the president of UTA, saying that he had discovered several promising young actors during the audition and asked them to arrange for talent scouts to contact them.

He was a shareholder and board member of UTA. Although he didn't interfere with the company's management, he had certain powers, and recommending a few newcomers was not a difficult task.

While he was on the phone, Sophia returned and locked the office door.

"What are you doing?"

Link asked, putting down the phone.

"We've been busy for so long, and now we can finally relax. Don't you want to get intimate?"

Sophia leaned over, hugged his neck, and smiled.

"At this time? Here?"

"Are you unable to do it?"

Before he could finish saying 'the tool cannot be used,' Link pushed Sophia onto the desk and lifted the back of her skirt.

The desk turned into a warm bed, shaking in the bright Los Angeles sunshine.
