Under normal circumstances, Murphy seldom participates in the first auditions. Except for the starring roles he invited, the first auditions for other important roles have been performed by Paul Wilson before. Now Paul Wilson is going to direct "Game of Thrones". "At the time, Billy Van Horn, who was also an intern from the Film School of the University of Southern California and later served as an assistant director, was promoted to the position of casting director by Murphy.

This is also an old man in Murphy's team, and has been following him since the production of the second movie.

In Hollywood crews, as long as the ability is okay, nepotism is normal.

The role of Naomi can be regarded as the heroine in the film. Due to the extremely limited budget, Murphy did not invite famous stars, but planned to hold a large-scale audition.

As for Margot Robbie, because of changes in the environment, he has withdrawn from the competition for this role on the advice of the agent.

Billy Van Horn was responsible for the initial audition, and Murphy flew to Rhode Island to see if a yacht club there was suitable as a location for filming.

Billy Van Horn, who is responsible for the casting of the crew, just like Paul Wilson at the time, has become the focus of many agents to chase and block.

Because of the large-scale audition, Billy Van Horn adopted the strategy of casting nets and fish that Hollywood crews often use. Actors who can pass the preliminary review by his assistant will be arranged to participate in the first time at the warehouse studio in the suburbs of Venice. Audition, the first audition does not look at acting skills and line skills, but more like a beauty contest, focusing only on appearance and figure.

Murphy's requirements are very clear. The acting skills of the actor playing Naomi can be average, but the appearance must be outstanding. A young female model who is not beautiful enough and sexy, how can someone like Jordan Belfort be overwhelmed at a glance?

The crew specially equipped Billy Van Horn with two assistants to assist him in handling the audition work. The two assistants have joined Murphy's team for only more than two years and can be said to be newcomers.

In the Hollywood circle, the relationship between the agency, the film company, and the production team is intricate. Many people, including Murphy, will be affected by external factors. These two assistants who have joined Murphy’s team for a short time will also An English actress was selected for the first audition.

On the day of the audition, Gal Gadot, the executive producer of the film, and Carla Fiss, the producer, also came to the studio in Venice, but they were more on the sidelines rather than interfering in the casting of the crew.

The first audition was placed in the northernmost studio, which was also one of the first places where the warehouse was rebuilt. Although this audition was more appropriately called the audition, it was also divided into different categories.

Actresses without any fame or decent qualifications were singled out by Billy Van Horn’s two assistants. They would enter the studio in groups of several and be inspected by the crew.

Of course, the prerequisite for this is that it naturally does not look at the acting skills or the foundation of the lines, and other professional qualities, but only examines the external conditions.

"It turns out that there are so many beautiful actresses in Hollywood..."

Sitting in the corner of the studio, looking at the five actresses who just came in. They have red hair, black hair, brown hair, and blond hair, but they are all beautiful and sexy. Gal Gadot is quite emotional. Said Carla Fiss, "It's almost the Miss Universe pageant."

"So..." Carla Faith leaned into Gal Gadot's ear and said deliberately, "Murphy is not easy."

Gal Gadot rewarded her with a pair of white eyes, "You..."

She shook her head, knowing that it was really not easy to be in Murphy's current position, and all her efforts were full of rewards.

This circle is indeed extremely chaotic, but different people will choose different ways of life. Gal Gadot knows that Murphy chooses himself.

Carla Fess said, "There are not many beautiful actresses in Hollywood. This time, because of the audition conditions announced by the crew, specific requirements were made. Those with limited appearances, even if they are registered, are mostly reviewed when reviewing the materials. Will be brushed down too."

Gal Gadot nodded lightly, "Murphy's requirements for actresses are mostly just staying in the vase stage."

"It's not his problem." Carla Faith knows more about Hollywood. "It's the current situation in the circle. The greatest significance of the existence of Hollywood actresses is actually the vase. It has been better in recent years."

"Yes." Gal Gadot sighed, "It looks like a commercial film, which leaves little room for actresses."

Carla Faith suddenly changed the subject, "Didn’t Warner Bros. and DC Comics have been contacting you all the time, hoping you can continue to play Wonder Woman? I heard that they have planned an independent movie for Wonder Woman."

"Compared to an actor, I want to be an excellent producer." Gal Gadot did not have the need to hide in front of Carla Faith, "Warner Bros. chose to interrupt the cooperation with Murphy, and I have no interest in it anymore. Acting as Wonder Woman."

She thought for a while, and then said, “Warner didn’t know what to think, but a pure visual director was hired, and he gave up the route Murphy had planned for them to prepare Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. In the second part, there is a big chaos."

Carla Firth laughed, "Perhaps it is the success of Marvel Comics "Iron Man" and Walt Disney's upcoming acquisition of the entire Marvel Comics, which puts too much pressure on Warner Bros.

Having said that, she sighed, "Zach Schneider's picture style is a bit like Murphy, but he finally looks like it. Maybe when the new DC superhero movie goes wrong, Warner Bros. will come to Murphy again. ."

Due to the explicit rejection of Warner Bros.'s role as Wonder Woman, the latest Warner Bros. movie turned into a melee between Superman and Batman. Gal Gadot didn't want to see Warner Bros. change Murphy's plan and still be a big success.

She smiled and whispered, "At that time, I will encourage Murphy to take a good shot at Warner Bros. and DC Comics."

If something goes wrong with this movie of Superman and Batman, of course the opportunity to get into trouble should not be missed. If they want to live happily in this country, they need a stronger material foundation.

Having lived by Murphy for a long time, and influenced by Murphy's behavior, Gal Gadot has also unknowingly changed a lot.

In fact, you don't need to think about it. As long as there is a problem with Warner Bros.'s DC superhero movie, they can only go back to the starting point and seek help from people who have brought an extremely successful start before.

But this kind of help is not free anywhere in the world.

The actors in the studio went in and out. Gal Gadot and Carla Faith just glanced at them from time to time and did not make any comments. Except for the hordes of unknown actors, they also saw a lot of them later. Famous actress.

Such as Sofia Vergara, Amanda Seyfried, Lindsay Lohan, Rooney Mara, Jennifer Lorenz, etc...

Although the pay for this role is limited, the attractiveness of the heroine of Murphy Stanton's new film is still very big for these actresses who are not particularly famous.

Especially for a newly debut actress, if she can get such a heroine, her life will undoubtedly take a big step forward.

Not to mention new actors, even some actresses who have been in Hollywood for nearly a decade have also targeted Naomi's role.

A black business car drove out of the city of Venice, gradually approaching the warehouse studio, and finally stopped in a clearing in front of the studio's gate.

Today there are a lot of cars here, and they are all beautiful women coming in and out at the entrance of the studio. It seems that a world-scale beauty pageant is being held here.

Looking at the doorway, it used to be so familiar, but now it is so strange. Carey Mulligan, with short blond hair, sat in the back seat, a little startled.

In the past few years, her development has not been smooth. Even if the media and movie fans occasionally mention her, her masterpieces are still the first two films, "Fruit Candy" and "Saw Cry", and few people remember the films and roles that appeared later.

Even within the brokerage company CAA, her status has plummeted.

Back then, she was a potential actress favored by CAA, but she was later given up by Bill Rossis...

"Kerry, I finally won this opportunity."

Next to her wearing glasses is her agent, who is also from CAA, but his position in the company is more than two levels worse than the current Bill Rossis. He encourages Carey Mulligan, "As far as I know , Murphy is a nostalgic person, and now the heads of all departments in this crew are all your old acquaintances back then, I believe..."

Kerry Mulligan looked cold, "I know what to do!"

She didn't want to see the company's newly arranged agent, pull the door and get out of the car, and regardless of the agent's greetings behind her, she walked towards the studio door on her own.

After talking to security personnel who were unfamiliar with the set, Kerry Mulligan walked in. It is no longer what it looked like in the past. After being bought by Stanton Studios, it has undergone certain renovations and has become a complete one. Photo studio.

An unfamiliar staff member led her and her agent to a lounge, and sat in the same room with other actors. After waiting for about an hour, someone came to inform her that she could go to the back studio to participate. Auditioned.

"Kerry, come on!" The agent cheered her up.

But Kerry Mulligan ignored it at all, exited the lounge, walked forward along the sign and entered the long corridor, and gradually felt a familiar feeling.

Especially when I came to the small studio that served as the audition room, a memory came back to Carey Mulligan's mind.
