The Best Entertainment Era

In the dressing room of the Warner Studios office building, Christian Bale changed into an old white shirt and waited for the audition to start.

After the make-up artist left, only he and his agent remained here.

The agent, Patrick Whitesell, was by his side and warned: Chris, this is your first purely commercial role in the true sense. Don't underestimate commercial films. You must go all out in the audition.

Christian Bale said calmly: When did I not go all out?

Patrick Whitesell was dumbfounded. When it comes to professionalism, Christian Bale is definitely the best in Hollywood.

He patted Bell's shoulder lightly and said, I'm most at ease with you.

Christian Bale exhaled lightly, and asked suddenly: I don't understand why you must persuade me to take such a role.

I have carefully studied the script, as well as Ronan Anderson. Patrick Whitesell said: From the comprehensive analysis of these two aspects, Pirates of the Caribbean has a great possibility of success even if it is a pirate theme.

Christian Bale looked at his agent without speaking.

Patrick Whitesell continued: Chris, you told me you wanted to be a superstar, right?

Yes. Christian Bale has no need to deny: I have never changed this idea.

Patrick Whitesell turned behind Bell and said, All the films you received in the past were literary and artistic films. Have you noticed that times have changed, Hollywood is no longer Hollywood in the 1970s and 1980s, there are not enough It is difficult to become a superstar because of its commercial appeal.”

Christian Bale seemed to be thinking.

Patrick Whitesell added: Look at the actors who can be called superstars in Hollywood today, Julia Roberts, Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks. And the top of the line. , Nicolas Cage, Will Smith, Jim Carrey, Cameron Diaz, etc., all of which are supported by outstanding commercial achievements.

There was a knock on the door, and the voice of the crew came from outside: Mr. Bell, please come to the audition room for an audition.

Here we go. Christian Bale stood up and passed by the agent,

Said to Patrick Whitesell: Don't worry, I'm not a literary person.

Patrick Whitesell couldn't help laughing.

He followed Christian Bale out of the dressing room, and just turned to another corridor, he couldn't help but stop, and a Latin girl with an unusually hot figure was walking over.

Lauren? Patrick Whitesell was a little surprised: Honey, why are you here?

I happened to come to the Warner Building to do business. Lauren Sanchez said with a smile: I thought you said yesterday that you would accompany a client to audition, so I came here to take a look.

She glanced at Christian Bale who was walking away, and asked, It hasn't started yet.

Patrick Whitesell took her hand: We'll just wait here.

In the audition room, Ronan looked at Christian Bale, who was wearing shabby clothes from the middle world, and nodded in approval.

If you want a British accent, Bell has it all; if you want looks, Bell also has it; besides acting skills, Bell is much better than the former elf prince.

Most importantly, Bell is more masculine than that one.

To put it bluntly, how could a blacksmith who hammered iron all day long be a handsome man.

The most important thing is acting.

In Pirates of the Caribbean, Will Turner's role is no less than that of Jack Sparrow, but in the movie he is forced to become a supporting actor, and his performance is not even as good as that of Elizabeth Swan.

On the one hand, in the role setting, Captain Jack Sparrow is more likely to shine; on the other hand, there is a gap in the hard power of the actors.

Johnny Depp's acting skills are not the best in Hollywood, but his alternative style is especially suitable for the role of Jack Sparrow.

In addition, even if Johnny Depp's acting skills are not top-notch, he can kill Orlando Bloom in seconds.

Although acting skills are a very subjective feeling, if the level gap is too large, people can still experience it clearly.

Let alone the acting skills of the elf prince.

I remember the movie Kingdom of Heaven in my previous life. Orlando Bloom, who was the leading actor, was suppressed to death by Edward Norton, who wore a mask and never showed his face. It was an inexplicable tragedy.

When the elf prince's face was no longer handsome and gradually aged, he almost disappeared soon.

Maybe this one's little blacksmith Will Turner will still live in the shadow of Captain Jack Sparrow, but Christian Bale should be able to leave a deeper impression.

Ronan expects more from Christian Bale and has some ideas in his mind.

For example, let Christian Bale perform special physical shaping.

This is the best rubber man in Hollywood, and fat and thin conversions are commonplace.

Following Ronan's request, Christian Bale read a line in a standard British accent, and Ronan called to stop the brief audition.

Mr. Bell.

There was only one candidate for the audition, and Ronan didn't have to go around in circles, and said directly: I think you are very suitable for this role.

Christian Bale looked serious and nodded slightly.

Ronan said: Well, you go and remove your makeup first, and we'll talk later.

Okay. Christian Bale didn't say much, and quickly left the audition room.

Ronan looked at George Clint next to him, and asked, You have been in contact with Orlando Bloom, how do you feel about Belby?

George Clint told the truth: What Orlando Bloom has, Christian Bale has, and what Orlando Bloom doesn't have, Christian Bale also has.

He thought for a while, and added: Compared to Orlando Bloom's ambiguous attitude, Bale is more interested in this role, and Christian Bale has been working hard in the independent film circle before, and the salary is not high. .”

Ronan nodded: That's Christian Bale.

George Clint said at this time: The invitation to Geoffrey Rush has also been responded to. The Australian movie star is very interested in the role and the salary we offer.

Ronan said: You are in charge of negotiating with Geoffrey Rush so that he can join the crew as soon as possible.

Compared with other actors, actors who play roles such as Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Captain Barbossa will fight in the film, they have to undergo a lot of professional swordsmanship and physical training before shooting, and must Make sure as soon as possible, and then join the crew to make preliminary preparations.

This is a common situation in Hollywood, and no actor will be absent for no reason.

If you want to play the sword beautifully, you can't just rely on stunt doubles, otherwise most action shots will not have frontal close-ups.

You can't cut the head texture after shooting, it will really become a joke in Hollywood.

An hour later, Ronan met Christian Bale and his agent Patrick Whitesell in his producer's office.

Behind the two of them was a Latin girl with an unusually sexy and hot figure.

This Latin woman in her thirties has a majestic chest, which is as good as Jessica Felton, who relies on technology to eat.

Ronan felt that this woman looked familiar. If he recalled it carefully, he should not have seen it after coming to Los Angeles, but had seen related pictures on the Internet in his previous life.

But I can't remember anything more specific.

Patrick Whitesell introduced: This is my girlfriend Lauren Sanchez, a host and actress.

Ronan shook hands with Lauren Sanchez: Nice to meet you, Miss Sanchez.

Me too, Lauren Sanchez said with a smile.

After a simple greeting, Ronan returned to the main topic: I am very satisfied with the results of this audition. If you have no objection, the role of Will Turner belongs to Mr. Bell.

Patrick Whitesell glanced at Bell, saw him nod slightly, and said, We are very honored to be able to cooperate with Mr. Anderson and Sandsea Entertainment.

He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, no matter what, this is also a top-produced No. 2 male lead, and even his role is not less than that of the No. 1 male lead. Christian Bale has been in the independent film industry for ten years, and finally set foot in the first-line production opportunity.

Christian Bale didn't say much, just said: Thank you Mr. Anderson for giving me this opportunity.

Ronan nodded as a matter of course.

As a producer and owner of a film company, unless he is a first-line star in the industry, he is in an absolute advantage.

The current Christian Bale is not the big star after playing Master Wayne.

There are two requirements for me to say in advance. Ronan said directly: Mr. Bell, after we sign the contract, you need to immediately enter the crew and participate in physical and sword training. In addition...

He glanced at Christian Bale: Your figure is a bit on the thin side.

Patrick Whitesell said with a smile: Chris lost a lot of weight when he was in the last movie, and he is still recovering.

Knowing Christian Bale's style, Ronan said: You need to gain muscle and weight, and you need to exercise a clear muscle profile. The figure is more in line with the blacksmith's setting.

Christian Bale said easily: No problem.

It's not like he has done things like changing his body shape once or twice, and he is very experienced.

Ronan said: I have heard about Mr. Bell's serious and responsible professional attitude. I believe that Mr. Bell will bring an extremely good role.

Hearing this, Patrick Whitesell said in a timely manner: Mr. Anderson, since neither of us has any objections, should we sign the contract as soon as possible?

Ronan paused and said, Yes.
