One Hundred and Ninety-Five-Handsome Guys

Normally, Wayne is not very willing to participate in the first few rounds of auditions. Even if there is an actor he likes early on, he will wait until Schwartz does the screening first.

If he can't even pass the first few rounds of auditions, even if he has his heart set on it early on, it only means that the actor himself is not suitable and has flaws.

This industry is so realistic. No matter what means or methods you use, as long as you can pass the previous audition, at least it means that you are indeed qualified to compete.

This "Batman" has an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. Other roles are okay, especially the actor who plays the male protagonist Bruce Wayne. If he can't come up with surprising qualities or a convincing audition performance, even Warner Bros. Brother Jeff Robinov is here, but it's still impossible to slap his head and decide to stay away.

Because of Wayne's special request for this role, Schwartz and Tim Burton used the most common method in the industry to cast a net to catch fish.

As long as an agent brings qualified actors and passes the preliminary review by Schwartz's assistant, they can participate in the first round of large-scale auditions.

This also caused Schwartz, who was in charge of the first round of auditions, to be heavily pursued by agents from various companies.

Hollywood crews have never been able to avoid favors, but this time it was different. The casting director knew that Wayne was interested in the leading actor. Even the three assistants who assisted him were specifically warned not to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

In fact, the requirements for those who can pass the first round of auditions are really not high. As long as they are under 30 years old, have a stronger body than ordinary people or can become stronger in a short period of time, and have an appearance that meets the aesthetics of most people.

No one will consider whether you have acting experience or your script skills. Most of the attention will still be on your height, appearance, and body shape.

All actors and agents, big and small, understand that this is definitely the fastest way to become famous. As long as you can get this role, it basically means career progress.

This circle can be called big or small. The relationships between various agents, production companies, and crew members are quite complex, and no one can guarantee that they will not be affected by off-site factors.

When Tim Burton participated in the second round, he discovered that many actors had been inserted for inexplicable reasons. He didn't have any intention of blaming Schwartz. Being able to be stuffed in at least showed that the appearance was acceptable.

So he basically just observed the audition silently and had no intention of intervening. As Tim Burton expected, in a relatively fair environment, Schwartz and his assistant screened these people again, until this time Wei Eun also appears here.

Strictly speaking, there are still dozens of actors to be selected, and it is impossible for Wayne to audition for a long time one by one. This time, he just went with Tim Burton to look at everyone and decide on the next round of auditions. candidate.

Regardless of whether you have qualifications or not, these people all lined up in groups of six equally and entered the audition room again and again to be inspected by Tim Burton and the three of them.

There is basically no personal performance in this process. Only the more suitable ones will be selected among those with suitable appearance. The beauty pageant is definitely more important than selecting actors.

"I always thought that there were so many beautiful women in Hollywood, but I didn't expect that there were so many handsome men!"

When the assistant opened the door and brought the first group in, even Wayne sighed unconsciously. Although the appearance of each person in this group of people who came in was different, they were all handsome guys in the eyes of the public without exception.

Tim Burton shrugged and said softly: "It is much more difficult for male actors to get ahead than for female actors, but there is no shortage of outstanding handsome guys here. This is Hollywood."

Looking at the six men in front of him, Wayne picked up the resume prepared by Schwartz and compared each one with the real person in front of him.

The person who presided over this audition was still the casting director. He looked at the two bosses and said nothing. He looked through his resumes and said directly to the actors:

"Gentlemen, I believe the assistant has just told you the process. Now please take off your shirts."

This had been communicated in advance, and the actors did not hesitate at all. Those who could appear in this room were all ready to show off their muscles.

Not all of them were unknown people, or would be unknown people in the future. The first time Wayne looked up, he saw two familiar faces, so he looked through his resume while thinking about it.

"The two on the far left can't do it. They don't meet the basic conditions." Tim Burton tilted his head slightly towards Wayne and discussed with him softly. "The physical foundation of these two people is the standard of ordinary people. We don't need ***. Even if they are trained, it will be difficult for them to become muscular men!"

Wayne glanced up, nodded, and made a mark on these two resumes.

Different from the aesthetics in the East, even if you are a high-quality idol here, you will definitely not be a pretty boy. For example, these two have a good face, but their bodies are not much different from those of normal thin young people. .

This requires years of training, otherwise the crew of "Batman" would not be used even in some small-budget commercial films.

A high-quality idol in Hollywood can only be an idol with enough masculinity. Even handsome guys like Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Cruise will have muscles even if they take off their clothes. This is a big difference between the aesthetics of Eastern and Western audiences. .

"Mr. Affleck." Looking away from his resume, Wayne looked up and shouted, interrupting Schwartz's intention to continue showing them. "It says on your resume that you participated in two feature films in 1992, right?"

The director, who had always been silent, was definitely the focus of observation and the center of attention of these six people after they entered the room.

The third actor on the left was stunned for a moment when he heard his voice calling him, and then showed a look of surprise. He noticed his gaffe and immediately nodded with a straight face.

"Yes, Mr. Greenberg, I participated in the drama film "The Campus" and the fantasy comedy "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" in 1992, both of which were released in theaters. In "The Campus" I play..."

"ok."

Without letting the other person continue the introduction, Wayne raised his hand to indicate that it was okay. He lowered his head and drew a circle on the other person's resume to represent his focus.

Looking curiously at the actor who stopped, Tim Burton noticed his movements and asked softly. "this is not bad?"

Wayne nodded casually, but he was also weighing in his mind how likely it would be if Bruce Wayne was used as the actor, and whether there would be any other effects.

In terms of looks and figure, this actor's advantages are not obvious, but his figure looks like it could be developed, which is more in line with Wayne's setting.

No matter what, these people who can prove themselves in the future will definitely be Wayne's focus. If he could surprise him in subsequent auditions, he wouldn't mind letting him become famous in advance instead of having to wait for "Good Will Hunting" a few years later.

After the group went out, they paused for a few minutes. Schwartz turned back and said, "How are these guys? I see you are quite interested in Mr. Affleck."

Picking out the two resumes he had just scratched, Wayne handed them to the casting director. "Fortunately, you can inform these two agents later and they won't need to participate in subsequent auditions."

Then he reached out and gently touched the stubble on his chin. Yes, of course he was interested in that actor. This can be considered an actor with very high plasticity, a natural-born Batman?

He still has memories of "Gone Girl", "Pearl Harbor" and "Escape from Tehran". Especially "Justice League" and "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" made it impossible for Wayne not to be moved.

"Go ahead and focus on Mr. Affleck, Schwartz. I need more detailed information about him."

The casting director nodded. "No problem, the information will be handed over to you in the next round of auditions."

After speaking, he raised his hand and signaled to the assistant, asking him to bring in the next group of people.

Taking advantage of his free time, Tim Burton said curiously: "I heard that your assistant director Zach, his production style is almost exactly the same as yours. He is now in charge of the post-production of "The Return of the Clown", right? He should be in charge immediately." It’s almost finished.”

"It's very similar." Wayne breathed a sigh of relief and slowly frowned. "But that's because he made two films with me, and he deliberately learned some things. Now it can only be said that they are relatively close on the surface, but after all, some things are different! "The Return of the Clown" basically doesn't have much Problem."

Talking about this Wayne makes his head hurt. Zack Snyder is different from him after all. From this post-production work, he discovered that Zack Snyder is deliberately imitating himself in all aspects.

Now he is not sure whether this is a good thing or not. You know, Zack Snyder himself is good at large-scale things and is very sensitive to images with heavy colors.

Wayne had given him access to these gadgets in advance, and now even he was starting to wonder what this person would become.

"What's there to worry about? It's a good thing after all." Tim Burton frowned slightly at him and said with some confusion. "I understand some of your plans for DC comic book adaptation. Isn't this kind of assistant director your best helper?"

"That's best..." He shook his head slightly.

The six young men who came in from the second group, also under Schwartz's command, began to take off their shirts and made moves to show off their muscles.

But when Wayne took a closer look, he almost laughed. The actor on the far left is definitely not handsome, but his face is definitely the kind that is popular with the audience.

He pulled out the actor's resume, but didn't ask as he did just now. Although I like this young man named Matt Damon, I don't pay much attention to him.

It’s just that he was not crossed out, everything was left to the subsequent audition performance.
