Chapter 1772 1774【The second audition】
Xiang Nan originally wanted to stay in Yanjing and spend a few more days with Cong Shan.
But he suddenly received a telegram from Xiangjiang, saying that the preparation of "Longwei Boy" has reached the final stage, and only the male and female protagonists have not yet been finalized.
Warner asked Xiang Nan to come back and participate in the final round of auditions.
Regarding this, Xiang Nan really had ten thousand words in his heart.
For this movie, he produced the script and funded it. If he was in the mainland entertainment industry, he was too arrogant in the crew, and even the director could be ignored.
For this movie, he can shoot whatever he wants, add scenes if he wants to add scenes, delete scenes if he wants to delete scenes, and change the leading female lead drama to the leading male lead play.
But now, being called around by people like a slave is really disgusting.
"It's a great thing to be able to go to Hollywood to film. Don't be self-willed." Cong Shan persuaded, "Go, career is important."
Seeing what she said, Xiang Nan nodded.
It's useless for him to be angry now, just as he said, the anger stems from his own incompetence. If he were a Hollywood superstar now, Warner wouldn't dare to treat him like this.
To become a Hollywood superstar, you must first endure this level.
…
Xiang Nan then returned to Xiangjiang, and before leaving the airport, he directly transferred to the United States.
Still Cai Yongchang accompanied him.
"If Warner doesn't use me, can I get the script back?" On the way, Xiang Nan asked Cai Yongchang.
The copyright of the script "Longwei Boy" belongs to him, and he didn't sell it to Golden Harvest, nor did he sell it to Warner. If he is not selected as the actor, he hopes to get the script back.
After all, this script really has the potential to become a hit. In real life, it has filmed two sequels and two spin-offs in a row, with a total box office of nearly 600 million US dollars. And in the video market, it is also very popular.
For such a lucrative movie, he didn't want to take Warner off for nothing.
"In principle, it is possible. However, I don't recommend you to do this." Cai Yongchang nodded, "Unless you don't want to go to Hollywood in the future."
Xiang Nan curled his lips when he heard this.
It doesn't really matter to him whether he goes to Hollywood or not. Even if he doesn't go, he can still call the wind and rain in Xiangjiang.
Just like Zhou Xingchi, he didn't go to Hollywood, but who would dare to deny his status, popularity, and achievements.
…
After more than ten hours of flying, the two finally arrived in Los Angeles, and then went to the hotel to meet the director and producer.
It is said that the director this time is John Elvison, who is also the director of the classic movie "Rocky". The investment of that movie was only 1.1 million US dollars, but it won 225 million US dollars at the box office, which is a miracle.
This movie also made the protagonist Sylvester Stallone, and John Elvison won the Academy Award together.
Although John Elvison did not make a better movie afterwards, the title of Oscar for Best Director can still make him famous for a long time.
After Xiang Nan and the others arrived at the hotel, they just saw an actor and left accompanied by his agent.
Seeing him, Xiang Nan shivered.
Because that person is Tom Hanks, who has won six Academy Awards and won two Best Actress Trophies.
Xiang Nan is confident in his acting skills, but he is also a little afraid to face such an opponent.
…
Wood Heathrow still had the same kind of virtue. When he saw Xiang Nan, he didn't say he went to shake hands. He still sat there, motionless, without even a smile on his face.
John Elvison was very enthusiastic, "You are Wei Ning, Mr. Wei?"
"No, I'm Ning Wei, Mr. Ning." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "If you find it awkward, you can also call me Charles."
Charles is the pseudonym he used when he lived in Hawaii in the world of "Little Shed". It has been used for 40 or 50 years, and it still feels very good when it is called.
"Very well, Charles." Elvison smiled, "Did you write the script for "The Dragon Mighty Kid"?"
"That's right." Xiang Nan nodded.
"How old are you this year?" Elvison asked curiously.
"Twenty-one years old." Xiang Nan explained.
"Unbelievable." Elvison said in surprise, "You can write such a mature script at the age of 21. I think you will become the next Stallone."
The "Rocky" was also written and acted by Stallone, and it caused quite a stir after it was released. Elvison also benefited a lot from cooperating with him, so he very much hopes to replicate Stallone's miracle.
And Xiang Nan is young, able to play, and more importantly, talented.
The script of "Longwei Boy" is very mature, with vivid characters, wonderful story, foreshadowing, turning point, and sublimation. It is a very good script.
From this perspective alone, Xiang Nan is not simple.
"Thank you. Mr. Stallone is also my idol. I like watching his "Rocky" very much. To be honest, my "Longwei Kid" refers to his movie." Xiang Nan laughed.
"Very good." Hearing what he said, Elvison was very satisfied, "Okay, here are a few scenes, can you audition for them, I hope to see your acting skills."
Xiang Nan nodded.
Although Tom Hanks is in front of him, it is impossible for him to retreat without a fight. That would be too embarrassing.
Xiang Nan still collected himself, ready to show his best state.
…
Afterwards, Xiang Nan performed several clips according to Elvison's request.
"Okay, very good." Elvison nodded and smiled, "Charles, I appreciate your acting skills very much."
"Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Go back first, we will give you the results later." Wood Heathrow said again.
When Xiang Nan heard this, he became angry again.
This Wang Badan, he came and went as soon as he was called, I really wanted to give him a slap and let him know why the flowers are so red.
"Good, thank you." Cai Yongchang nodded, and then dragged Xiang Nan out of the room.
"Old Cai, if they don't use me this time, I will kill them without handing over the script to them." Xiang Nan said indignantly.
As far as Heathrow's virtue is concerned, he doesn't want to take advantage of him.
Seeing that Xiang Nan was so angry, Cai Yongchang quickly persuaded him, "Be patient. You have to bow your head under the low eaves. After you get through this period and become a Hollywood superstar, small producers like Heathrow , what else is it?"
Hearing what he said, Xiang Nan nodded.
At this moment, I saw a beautiful blonde woman walking over under the guidance of the staff.
Her pretty face, bumpy figure, and pure and charming temperament made Xiang Nan feel a little lost.
