Chapter 13 Casting

(Please vote...)

Ike thought about many Hollywood actors in his mind. He first thought about the Oscar winners in recent years, Anthony Hopkins, Al Pacino, Tom Hanks, Nicholas Cage, Jack Nicholson, Russell Clow...

There are indeed suitable ones here, but Ike is not sure whether they will have schedules. For example, Nicholas Cage made two blockbusters last year and was in full swing. Now there are definitely constant film contracts. Jack Nicholson is Ike's favorite, but in history he will win the best actor with "The Best" at the Oscars next month.

You know, once you win the Best Actor, not only will the pay rise sharply, but the producers will also line up for his schedule. But no matter what, Ike will send the script to him. As for whether he wants to come or not, it can only be left to fate.

As the candidates for the two male protagonists, Ike not only sent an audition invitation to the society, but also called some celebrity agents to see if they had schedules. Ike tried to test some first-line stars such as Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp.

As for the candidate for the female psychologist in the film, Ike has already figured out, that is Kate Beckinsale. In fact, when he went to Chicago, he mentioned to Kate that she was very willing at that time. In Ike's opinion, Kate is very consistent with the temperament of this character. Although there are not many scenes, she is a female character in this man's scene. She will add a ray of light to this solemn drama.

Also, I have already worked with Kate on a drama, so I will definitely become more familiar with each other and will be more efficient when working with me again.

Of course, Ike didn't think about it, Matt Damon and DiCaprio, but after thinking about it, he gave up. The main reason DiCaprio is still a little creamy now, and Matt... He should have just finished filming "Save the Soldier" and is now promoting it.

The casting work was not going well, and several stars Ike's favorite could not get out of the schedule, especially Jack Nicholson, whom he most wanted to participate in. The reason for this was also very interesting. He explained that he had just finished filming "The Best of the Best" and hoped to take a break for a while. If "The Walker" can start filming at the end of this year or early next year, he would consider participating.

Fack! Ike shook his head and cursed. Because everything is easy to say, it is just that time cannot be delayed. His plan is to arrive in Boston in early March, and the filming period must be started in mid-March, with a shooting period of 2-3 months and a later period of 2-3 months. We strive to release the movie in October.

There were many people who came to audition. This time there were many second- and third-tier actors, but most of them did not meet Ike's requirements for the protagonist, but he still arranged some supporting roles for these actors according to the situation.

As time goes by, the supporting roles and some supporting roles have been basically confirmed, and even the two main supporting roles, the sheriffs, were confirmed. One is Martin Sheehn, who is the same as Martin version. He is equivalent to playing the role of Anthony Wong in the Hong Kong version. This old actor told Ike the first time he got the script that he was very interested in this book and was willing to play this role.

The other is John Cusack, the actor who just received a big acclaim in "The Prison in the Air", will replace Martin's version of Mark Wahlberg. This role is very important. In Martin's version, he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor of the year.

This time he was starring John Cusack, who played the role of the police in the just-concluded "Prison in the Air". In addition, his acting skills are good, so there is no problem with this role.

Although he is not a male lead, John Cusack is optimistic about the script. In his opinion, this is a more challenging interpretation than "The Prison in the Air".

The only one that has not been confirmed at the moment is the three protagonists. This is a headache, and time does not wait for anyone.

Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp's agents all said they could not play. Nicholas Cage still refused Ike after two days of consideration. In his opinion, there is no shortage of film appointments at all.

nnd, these so-called actors still don’t want to star in their own movies. Ike thought to himself, maybe in their opinion, he is just a young director, and it is not enough to invite them to film.

Just when Ike was hesitating, Brad Pitt's agent called 3D company and said that he was interested in the script, but he wanted to meet Mr. Ike once and have a detailed discussion.

After Brad Pitt Ike found out, he immediately arranged this meeting, which was in his office.

"Hello, Mr. Pete." Ike shook hands with the handsome guy enthusiastically. In front of him, Pitt was about the same height as himself, wearing a casual white suit and a pair of sunglasses.

"Hello, Director Ike." Pete responded politely. "Oh, this is my agent, Mr. Sonny." He introduced the agent beside him to Ike again.

"Oh, hello Sonny."

"Hello."

After the three of them sat down, Pete talked straight to the point about the script of the movie with Ike. "Mr. Ike, this script is great, I like this story very much."

"Thank you." Ike said with a smile.

"You want me to play this positive role?" Peter said.

"Yes." Ike nodded, "I think this character should be more suitable for you."

Pi Te nodded, then shrugged his shoulders, and he slowly said, "Personally, I like this negative character more."

"Oh?" Ike waved his hand, "You want to play this negative role."

"Yes, well... I think this villain is more challenging and I have more struggles in my heart... Of course, this is my personal opinion, but if the villain has not been confirmed, I can try it." Pete and Ike told their views.

In fact, Ike doesn't care. If Pete is willing to play the opposite, of course it can be. Anyway, there is really no one to choose now.

But he still frowned while pretending to think. Pete and Sonny across the street looked at each other and quietly waited for Ike's decision.

After a while, Ike nodded, "There is indeed no candidate yet." He told the truth to Pitt, "Well... If Mr. Pitt is interested, I can make some adjustments and you will play the negative role."

Hearing Ike say this, Pete smiled, "That's great, if that's the case, I'd like to be in this movie."

"Haha." Ike smiled, and he stretched out his hand, "then you are welcome to join."

"Thank you, you can talk to Sonny about the details." Pitt also stretched out his hand.

Ike knew he was talking about the pay, "No problem, by the way, you should know that we plan to join the group in early March and start the film in the middle."

"Oh, I understand this situation, there is no problem here."

"That's good." Ike knew that Pitt had just finished filming the new drama "The Sixth Sense of Life and Death".

Since starring in "Night Visit to Vampire" and "Autumn Legend", Blatt Pitt has quickly become one of Hollywood's first-tier stars. His cold and handsomeness has made many female movie fans crazy, and thus has the title of "sexiest actor" in Hollywood. "Autumn Legend" was almost made for Brad Pitt, and his wild appearance and handsome charm have overshadowed other stars. After the film "Autumn Legend" was staged, it won the box office championship for four consecutive weeks. Pitt himself was named "the sexy man in the world" by "People" magazine, and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor Award.

It can be said that he is an actor who combines acting and idols, which is like a retreat from the Hong Kong version of Andy Lau.

This time, he is willing to play the role of villain, that is, Andy Lau, haha! This is also a kind of fate.

Brad Pitt's participation made Ike feel relieved. However, there are two main positions that are vacant, one is the biggest villain and the other is the positive male lead in the film.

3D company now has its own casting department, and Ike hired senior Hollywood filmmaker Maxiu as manager. Shortly after Pete and Sonny left, Matthew came to Ike's office.

"Mr. Li, how about this actor? He came to try the camera yesterday, and I think it's pretty good." Ma Xiu said and handed a piece of information to Ike.
