[US Entertainment] Wild Child

Lewis likes characters with more complex levels. In fact, one of the protagonists in this script has a complex personality, but the subject matter is fantasy, so he probably isn't interested.

"Who else?" Summer's big eyes flashed.

"When the script was first developed, the director had his eye on Jon Voight."

"Voig? Is he too old?"

Erin smiled, "Yeah, after more than ten years, he doesn't fit well. And Jeremy Irons, you know him? He said he didn't want to sit in the makeup chair for hours at a time, Pushed too."

"Hmm. That's a good reason. If I can get a film contract, do I need to wear heavy makeup?"

"Probably not." Erin flipped through the information, "There are also John Malkovich, Peter Weller and Brad Pitt, but obviously the production company wants young idols, so I think Pitt is very Hope. Oh yeah, they also got Johnny Depp, but Johnny said he just played Edward Scissorhands and he didn't want to do anything like that again."

It seems that stars will try their best to avoid the homogenization of roles, so as not to be stereotyped prematurely, which is not conducive to future career development.

The studio has re-founded director Neil Jordan.Jordan's previous work is "The Crying Game", a film about an Irish volunteer soldier and a gender-inverted dancer. It was just shown at the Venice Film Festival in September, and it has a very different and chic perspective.

Erin attached great importance to the script and personally took her to the audition.Her competitors are 12-year-old Christina Ricci, who are the same age, and Christina is 9 months older than Samo; 12-year-old Dominic Swain, who are also the same age, and Dominic is 3 years older than her Julia Stiles, 11½, four months younger; Natalie Portman, 4, seven months younger; Kirsten, 11½ Dunst; and Evan Rachel Wood, 7.

Wood was first brushed off because of his young age.

After that, Christina and Julia failed the second audition.

Then the production company announced that it had chosen Lester, one of the leading actors, and it turned out to be Tom Cruise. There was an uproar in Hollywood, saying why the big star chose such a fantasy movie.Except for the few years when he first entered the film industry, he took over the filming of Ridley Scott's "Legend of Strange Talk", Tom Cruise's films over the years are all realistic themes. Cruise doesn't want a statuette?As we all know, fantasy themes, especially vampires, are not appreciated by those old-fashioned Academy Awards.

It was later announced that Brad Pitt would play Louie, the second leading actor.As a sexy idol who has gained fame in recent years, there is nothing to say about choosing him.

As for another important person, Malloy, the young reporter who led the story, was the first to sign the contract, signing the young actor River Phoenix who was born as a child star.

As for the most important female role in the entire film, Claudia's audition is still in progress.

Third round of auditions, Summer, Kirsten, Dominique, Natalie.

Eliminated Dominique and Natalie.

The director recruited both Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, and asked the two leading actors to audition with Summer Brook and Kirsten Dunst respectively.

Brad remembers Summer, "I remember when you were a boy."

"It's kind of boring being a boy," she said.

Brad chuckled.

There are not many child stars in Hollywood who can play both boys and girls, but Neil Jordan is more partial to Summer.He wanted Claudia to be innocent and worldly, old and childlike.He asks Summer and Kirsten to audition for the part where Claudia throws a tantrum at Lester.

Claudia has been a child for decades and now wants to grow up.She knew she was "unnatural", she didn't want to be treated like a child anymore, she didn't want more dolls, but she didn't know how to get there; Lester scolded her for putting dead people in the house where they lived Inside the house, where it shouldn't be on her bed, an angry Claudia grabs the scissors, cuts her hair short, and rants at her creator, Lester.

The performances of the two candidate young actors are very good.

They are about the same height, Summer is slightly taller; both are blond, have big talking eyes, and both have a calm performance beyond their age. It was difficult for Neil Jordan to choose.But in another audition in which Claudia murders Lester, Summer is a little better. Her Claudia has an innocent cruelty, and she can smile the sweetest at the enemy to achieve the goal.

Neil Jordan made separate appointments with Summer and Kristen before finalizing Summer's role as Claudia.

After signing the contract, Summer finally breathed a sigh of relief.She happily called to inform her friends first, and then called Brad Pitt, and told him excitedly that they were going to work together!Brad congratulates her and knows you can do it.

Leonardo is a little bit jealous. Summer's star luck is unbelievable. The big screen debut is a popular Christmas blockbuster. Although it is just a soy sauce, it is also a very good start; A Spielberg movie; now it's with a hot star, Tom Cruise, and a sure-fire star, Brad Pitt.

This is the law of Hollywood, if you star in the production of a big director, you will be noticed by countless people.Although Neil Jordan is Irish, he is not a typical Hollywood director, but it is definitely the tendency of the production company to use a more famous starlet.

After the main actors were determined, the funds were quickly put in place, and the filming was scheduled to officially start on the last Monday of October 1992.

First filmed River Phoenix at the St. Martin Hotel in San Francisco.He was going to Nashville, Tennessee, to start filming a musical in early November, so he rushed to shoot his scenes first.Malloy didn't have many roles, and the filming was over in 11 days.After filming, River Phoenix packed up and flew to Nashville.

Continued to shoot some interior and exterior scenes in San Francisco. In the second week of November, the film crew moved to New Orleans, Louisiana. At least one-third of the story took place in New Orleans.

There are no shots of Summer for now, she can stay in Los Angeles until after her birthday before going to New Orleans.

Leonardo left Los Angeles in early November for a location in Austin, Texas, which is expected to last until the end of January next year.

He spent his 18th birthday in Texas.

The "siblings" threw him a party and the crew ordered a birthday cake to celebrate his coming of age.

Ilmelin and his friends in Los Angeles also called him to wish him a happy birthday.

Summer's birthday is just three days later, and he remembers it clearly, "I sent you a birthday present, and I hope to receive it on your birthday."

"Thank you, Leo." She's turning 12 soon, thinking about it.

The future global superstar is now just a grown boy, not yet a supermodel killer, and maybe even a baby chicken.I don't know if the birthday gift he gave himself was to find a woman to give him a virgin?

Summer hung up the phone, made a wild guess, and had fun for a while, before forgetting about it.

Three days later, the courier company delivered a pet cage to Brooke's home.

Today is Saturday.Susanna received the courier and sent it to Summer's room, "Look! Who gave you this birthday present."

Summer put down the picture book, "It must be Leonardo." She jumped off the bed, "What is it? A cat?"

"No," Suzanne said, feeling that Leonardo was having a convulsion, "it's a lizard, but I don't know what kind. Oh, there's some lizard food here. You can try to feed him some food, but after that you'll have to Wash your hands."

"Okay, Mom. I'll ask Leo." She picked up the phone.

Leonardo was at work, and it took half an hour before he called back.

"That's a red bearded dragon. Does it look good? Do you like it?"

"Nice. Though I thought you'd be giving away the little teacup dog we saw last time."

"Teacup dogs are boring!" he sniffed. "Lizards are so funny! Say you like them."

"I love it. Do you have one too?"

"I have a rock colored one. It won't be hard, have you fed it? It's gentle, non-biting, and clean. The assistant is calling me, I have to go. Summer, Happy birthday."

Putting down the phone, Summer went to see the pet cage, looked at the pet rations, and fed it some dry mealworms.

She went to her bathroom to wash her hands and went downstairs, "Mom, we need to go to the pet store."

"Could you come back tomorrow, sweetie? Your friends are coming after lunch, and I'll be busy."

"Can go back tomorrow. I think it needs a glass pet crate, some live food."

"Don't you want a puppy? Or a cat."

"I don't want to. Pets with fur are smelly," said the disgusted face, "I don't like smelly pets. Besides, I have to bathe them, they will be disobedient, and then run around with water all over their bodies, and then shake Shake the fur, and shake the water from their hair all over the place, it's dirty to death."

"Okay, I understand." Suzanne touched her small face, "It seems that Leonardo understands you quite well and knows what to give you. How is he recently?"

"Fine, he's making a movie in Austin."

"I heard he didn't go to school in October." Suzanne pretended nothing had happened.

"Well, he doesn't really like school. No kid likes school. We just like playing."

"Don't tell me you don't want to go to school now."
