Chapter 815: Diversity

From 8 o'clock in the morning, Jason Momoa came to the studio of the Hughes Aircraft Factory to prepare for the afternoon audition.

Throughout the morning, he basically sat in front of the makeup mirror and let the makeup artist make up.

In order not to interfere with the makeup at noon, Jason Momoa just ate a few bites of small cakes and drank some water through a straw.

Then, the makeup artist continued to stick his beard on his face.

Yes, since Jason Momoa sat in front of the makeup mirror, a makeup artist has been doing one thing to stick a fake beard on him.

It is a very complicated makeup job to make the beard look the same as it really is.

Jason Momoa met John Davis, who played Jinli in "The Lord of the Rings". The dwarf actor spent more than three hours on makeup before each filming. The most time-consuming one was fake Moustache.

By about 1:30 in the afternoon, the fake beard was finally completed.

The makeup artist helped Jason Momoa put on an armor-like costume and brought a hammer.

This is a square head hammer with a short handle, with a simple shape.

Jason Momoa took the hammer and bumped it in his hand. The weight should be resin.

"How is it?" The agent came over and asked: "Are you ready?"

Jason Momoa looked at his own shape in the mirror and said, "Is it a little weird?"

The agent asked: "Where is it?"

Jason Momoa said very seriously: "How come I, young and handsome, became a savage savage?" He asked, "Which superhero is this?"

The agent glanced at the hammer in his hand, and guessed: "It should be Thor in the Norse mythology."

Jason Momoa doesn’t understand Marvel comics at all. He received an audition invitation from Marvel Entertainment before. Although he made some wickedness, they are all first- and second-tier superheroes. Thor, a character that is not very popular, did not pay attention. To.

"Thor ran into Marvel?" Jason Momoa looked curious.

The agent reminded: "We have signed a confidentiality agreement. Don't talk nonsense when you go out."

"Don't worry." Jason Momoa said, "I don't want to go bankrupt because of default."

A staff member came to remind me that the audition time was approaching.

The agent urged: "Let's go, don't let the director and the producer wait. Jason, if you are soaring, or continue to be a little actor, it's all up to this audition."

Jason Momoa adapts to the beard on his face as quickly as possible, and has a better mentality: "This kind of thing depends on the decision of others."

In the audition room, Ronan and Kevin Fitch talked a few words about Joss Weiden, and waited for the actors to participate in Thor audition.

Like the previous auditions, Marvel Entertainment did not disclose to the actors who their roles are.

This is not uncommon in Hollywood.

Many actors participate in auditions for film companies, let alone the roles, sometimes they don’t even know what the film is about.

They are willing to audition, one is directed at the director and producer, and the other is the rare opportunity for big companies to produce.

Once Gal Gadot was awarded Wonder Woman. When Warner Bros. invited Gal Gadot to audition, Gal Gadot had no idea who the role was auditioned, which is based on the makeup and requirements of the role. Some guesses.

As soon as Jason Momoa walked into the audition room, Ronan's eyes lit up. Although everything from Meow Hammer to War Armor was made temporarily and somewhat rough, Jason Momoa’s dress made people see later. I just feel that Teacher Xu is here.

When the difference in acting skills is not very large, the level of the actors' acting skills is more of a subjective feeling. The key to the audition to make judgments is the many underground factors on the one hand, and the feeling of the decision maker on the other.

Ronan nodded secretly when he saw Jason Momoa come in with a meow hammer. Thor wanted this feeling.

He had read the information about Jason Momoa before. Jason Momoa is still a handsome niche actor. He has appeared in several films and did not attract attention. It can only be said that he chose the wrong route style.

Teacher Xu is your style!

Invincible Hot Wheels, it can be said to be earth-shattering!

After a simple self-introduction, under the guidance of Jon Feiru, Jason Momoa first read a line and then wielded a hammer. Thanks to his natural body and suitable makeup, It is indeed a model of the Nordic gods.

Ronan kept quiet, but nodded secretly. Jason Momoa is very suitable for the role of Thor.

The bursting hair, the domineering beard, and the ferocious eyes are very distinctive.

The rugged man in front of the camera with messy hairstyle and big thick eyebrows seems to be born destined to play such a role.

is just like Teacher Xu.

By the way, Thor, who is not like Teacher Xu, is not a good Thor.

Once another film production center in the world had this saying at its peak: Gunfight movies think of Brother Xiao Ma, comedy movies think of Zhou Xingxing, kung fu movies think of Jack Chen, who would the third-level movies think of? That is Teacher Xu.

Some people say they can be counted as the four kings of Hong Kong movies in the 1990s...

How do you say a classic line?

"It's useless for you to break your throat, and Thor and Aquaman will not be able to save you."

The audition went very smoothly. From the actors to Jon Fyreu to Ronan and Kevin Fitch, there seemed to be a kind of strange understanding.

After Jason Momoa left the audition room, Jon Feiru was the first to speak: "I don't think the audition behind Thor is necessary anymore."

Kevin Fitch thinks exactly the same: "Jason Momoa is too suitable."

Anyway, he is also a reckless guy whose IQ is not online under normal conditions. You don't need to consider other aspects. Just look at the shape and temperament, it is 100% suitable.

Ronan said directly: "Thor’s actor is sure, just Jason Momoa."

The three people agreed, but Ronan added: "Kevin, the project of "Thor" will not be filmed for a while. When you negotiate with Jason Momoa, you should include fitness and beard growth. In the contract."

It is too troublesome to stick fake beards every time I shoot, it takes time, labor, and money.

Kevin Fitch said, "I know."

Jon Feiru said, "From tomorrow, are you going to prepare for the heroine audition?"

Ronan waved his hand: "I won't participate in the audition for the heroine, so make up your mind."

Marvel Entertainment selected nearly 30 actresses to participate in the audition from among the many registered actors.

There are also candidates recommended by Kevin Fitch.

There are some things that cannot be avoided in Hollywood. Ronan will not unrealistically ask the people below to do it. As long as the actor is suitable, he will open one eye appropriately.

Hollywood environment is like this.

After finishing the audition, Ronan met with Jos Wedon and Jackie Phoenix again.

The new "Hulk" movie will officially enter the preparatory period starting in September. The two have officially signed contracts with Marvel Entertainment to serve as the director and actor respectively.

Jacques Phoenix and Marvel signed a total of ten film contracts, but Joss Weiden only signed three film director agreements.

Ronan finally decided to cooperate with Joss Weiden.

However, compared to the "Iron Man" that was the beginning of the series, the investment in "Hulk" is lower, with a production budget of US$130 million.

The "Hulk" movie directed by Ang Lee will not be included in the Marvel universe, and the new "Hulk" movie will retell the origin of Hulk.

As the first hitman of "The Avengers", the Hulk is an extremely important humanoid weapon.

General Rose will also be a very important figure in the entire series of movies.

In the design of the movie, in the later period, General Ross will be transferred from the military to power and become Secretary of State, planning a series of policies and regulations related to superheroes in the future.

Movies are not comics after all. It is impossible to increase characters without limit, especially those with certain roles.

Therefore, many characters must be used comprehensively.

Ronan's meeting with Jos Weiden emphasized that "The Hulk" must be a popcorn movie, with entertainment as the first premise.

is like pursuing the meaning of life or digging into the character's psychology, it has nothing to do with this movie, and all the Avengers movies.

That's what a literary film should do. Don't put it on top of commercial entertainment films.

Just as the films under Relativity Entertainment include purely commercial films, low-cost horror films, and art films for the award season, the film industry has been developed for more than 100 years, and it is inherently diverse and has various specific manifestations. form.

This is also the point where the movie can attract the audience the most, because of the diversity, the audience can always find what they like in many movies.

No one can deny the dull literary film completely, and no one can deny the light-hearted entertainment movie.

Can't all movies all over the world become gangster movies, are they real movies?

After all, those who deny entertainment movies either fall into the so-called pit of art, or they are playing entertainment.

After all, entertainment movies can generate more heat than art movies.

Throughout Hollywood and the global film industry and market such people and things have never stopped.

Ronan believes that if the Marvel Avengers project can succeed, it will inevitably cause a lot of controversy in the future.

But no matter how great the controversy is, it cannot stop Relativity Entertainment's determination to continue filming and promoting the release, because the film company is always pursuing profit.

This brand new "Hulk" movie will be released in 2007.

Since 2006, Marvel Entertainment will launch at least one superhero movie every year, and over time, this number will increase to two.

no matter how much it is, it is not appropriate. We must consider the market acceptance. If it is too frequent, it may cause negative reactions.

In addition, as long as the role of Natasha Romanoff is sufficiently accepted, Marvel Entertainment will launch a separate "Black Widow" movie in the first or second stage.

Frankly speaking, Scarlett Johansson’s appearance is not long, and it is good to launch it early.
