[US Entertainment] Best Director

The producers of "Letters from Iwo Jima" sent the script and the cast list to Pryreth's mailbox.

Since the original start was scheduled to start two months ago, but because Spielberg insisted on handing over the film to Prairie, he missed this summer's "Letter from Iwo Jima" and had to wait until next summer.

Pryris had plenty of time to spend time on script changes and actor selection.

Pryreth opened the casting shortlist first.

In addition to Kazuya Ninomiya, who played the role of Nobuki Saigo in his previous life, Ken Watanabe, Shido Nakamura, Ryo Kase, Tsuyoshi Ihara, etc. have all entered the shortlist.

Prairis called the producer to inquire about this matter, and the answer given by the producer was that Kazuya Ninomiya was young and his acting skills were not good enough to play Noboru Saigo.

Prairis frowned when she heard the words. In fact, she felt that in "Letters from Iwo Jima", in addition to Ken Watanabe's consistent superb acting skills, Kazuya Ninomiya's performance was also remarkable, at least fully expressing her The imaginary youthfulness of Saigo Sheng and the bewilderment of war, for an actor like him who is debuting on the big screen, it is already very good to have this kind of performance.

But the producers obviously don't think so, they are more inclined to use Kamenashi Kazuya, who has a certain popularity, so the producer specially ordered a casting meeting for "Sho Saigo".

At the casting meeting, Kazuya Ninomiya did not perform well, even in a trance, Praris frowned directly and ended his audition early.

Seeing that Prairis’s original favorite, Ninomiya Kazuya, was stopped, the producers thought that Prairis would directly hire Kamenashi Kazuya they suggested. Unexpectedly, Prairis did not directly hire him, but auditioned in the future. The 17 Japanese actors in the show have all watched it.

Among them, what surprised Prairis was a newcomer named Ryunosuke Kamiki.

Although he is a little young, his performance is very aura, and he even performed the youthful confusion of "Xixiangsheng" who was not deeply involved in the world and was forced to move forward under the big system, which is better than the performance of Kazuya Ninomiya in his previous life. , more the "sentimental feeling" set by the script.

In contrast, Kamenashi Kazuya, who was recommended by the producer and has many years of acting experience, also seems a bit inferior.

Pryreth called Spielberg to update him on today's casting session.

"So, you are more optimistic about Ryunosuke Shenmu?" Spielberg asked.

"If it's just based on the performance at today's casting meeting, yes." Prairis suddenly thought of something and frowned, "But Ryunosuke Kamiki is too young, and the producers prefer to be a little older and have a fan base Kamenashi Kazuya."

"How old is Takanosuke Kamiki?"

"15 is old."

Spielberg laughed, "True first-class actors are not limited by age, age never represents acting skills."

"Send me the audition video of Ryunosuke Kamiki and Kamenashi Kazuya, and I will make my own suggestions to investors after watching it."

Prairie nodded.

I also chatted with Spielberg about my views on the script.

Since Jerry pointed out Spielberg's ideas to Prairis, Spielberg did not mention it again, but kept the same relationship with Prairius after he got the post of producer of "Letters from Iwo Jima". With a relationship that is both a teacher and a friend, I chatted with Prairis about the script and the plot during the usual phone calls, and at the same time gave Prairis some career planning advice in time, such as the "Doctor Who" a few days ago "Runaway Bride" was selected for six nominations for the Empire Film Award of the British "Saturn Award". Spielberg suggested that Prairius refuse to participate in the award. The best actor for David Tennant, whom the BBC was very optimistic about before the awards, also did not win.

The British media was in an uproar. Although "Runaway Bride" did not have a high box office and reputation in the United States, it was also a large-scale IP that broke several records at the time. What's more, the director is also ingenious in audio-visual aspects. Overall, it can also be regarded as British science fiction in recent years. Pretty good one of the movies.But this empire movie didn't give him a single award?

The Sun, as always, has no lower limit, directly pointing out that the judges of this year's Imperial Films and a certain producer of the award-winning film have ulterior secrets.

Of course, these ups and downs have nothing to do with Prairie, because she directly announced that she would not participate in the Empire Film Awards according to Spielberg's suggestion before the award ceremony began.

Prairie asked Spielberg afterwards why he could have guessed that the "Empire Film Awards" and "Doctor Who: The Runaway Bride" would fail. Spielberg raised his eyebrows and said directly, "The British group The old diehards who yell at Saturn every day will give their cherished 'award' to a film that hit the streets in the United States?"

Videos that hit the streets in the United States.

Although Prairis didn't want to admit it.But I have to say.

......

Well, it makes sense.

Ryunosuke Kamiki received the news that he was accepted by the crew of "Letter from Iwo Jima" at the beginning of the year.

The moment he received it, he was still a little dazed, and the rice cake stuffed in his mouth fell off.

It wasn't until the agent put the contract in his hands that he realized that... he was going to make a movie? ? ?

Ryunosuke Kamiki once had fantasies about "Nishimura Noboru", but that was before he spent a lot of money to audition in Hollywood. He was stunned the moment he arrived at the selection field...Kamanashi Kazuya, Ninomiya Kazuya ...Which one is not a senior who has been famous for a long time! ! !

He, at the age of 15, is still fresh and pleasant!at this time!now!To compete with these big seniors for a role is crazy, crazy... Ryunosuke Kamiki said that he just wants to go back to Kanto immediately, right away, and eat the octopus balls of the street... ...

After being rejected by his agent for the nth time to go back to Japan directly on the grounds of "everyone is here, the air ticket is very expensive", Ryunosuke Kamiki walked into the audition hall in despair.

Ten minutes later, Ryunosuke Kamiki walked out again in despair.

After the producers let him act for a while, they asked him some thoughts on the character.

God knows that just now he was frightened by those big seniors outside, and he forgot all the character analysis that his manager asked him to memorize! ! !

Ryunosuke Kamiki suddenly thought of himself being oppressed by his agent, and after hesitating for a long time, he bitterly said, "Push the ducks to the shelves."

The entire examination hall was silent.

Only a young girl on the right blinked excitedly.
