It's true, though, that Jerry Hall isn't Simon's ideal motherhood.

Although there are six more little guys this year, even Ulyana's accident is an accident that can only continue to exist after being approved by Simon.

After all, Jerry Hall didn't know some of the inside information, so he didn't expect much, but seeing what Simon said, he stopped mentioning it.

Disappointment is inevitable.

Simon looked at the woman's expression and smiled: "I remember I said that you are all free, and if you want to leave one day, just tell me."

Jerry Hall thinks of the luxurious life in recent years, thinks of the envy that Ella McPherson is almost overflowing at the party tonight, how can he leave, can he live without leaving?Misunderstood that the man beat herself on purpose because she brought up the child, put down the goblet in her hand, and took the initiative to please her.

Chapter 1157 Queen and Princess (3)

Malibu, Daenerys Studios.

Nicole Kidman and an assistant had just got off the car in the parking lot of the studios administrative area, when Linda Vargas greeted them.

The two warmly embraced and greeted each other. Linda and Nicole walked side by side to the No. [-] office building, and said, "Nicole, I am a little surprised that you agreed to play the role of Queen Galadriel. However, in my It seems that you are definitely the most suitable one."

"Actually, I think so too, Linda. To be honest, I sorted out other Hollywood actresses myself, and found that there is no one more suitable than me. Think about it. It’s the same, so of course I’m going to come in person.”

"Oh, I can only say that you will definitely not regret it in the future. You have to believe in Simon's vision. Back then, he spent 1000 million US dollars just to buy the copyright of "The Lord of the Rings."

"of course."

The two said they had already entered the office building.

Waiting for the elevator gap, Nicole asked again: "What is Simon doing now?"

"Coincidentally, about your 'granddaughter' audition."

Nicole reacted immediately: "Princess Arwen?"

"Yeah," Linda and Nicole walked into the elevator together, and continued: "It can be seen that compared to Galadriel who directly chose you, Simon is very hesitant about the role of Princess Arwen, and he can't take it. Decide which one is best, and arrange an audition in person today."

Nicole nodded, but her mood was complicated.

What the two of them were discussing at this time was naturally the casting of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy that has been raging recently.

Speaking of which, the reason for the uproar is because of the official launch of Daenerys Entertainment's publicity campaign.

At the end of last year, after Peter Jackson completely completed the later stage of "The Scary Ghost", the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has actually been secretly approved. For more than half a year, Jackson has been leading a team in Australia to write scripts, set scenes, and produce demonstration animations. , Research on special effects programs and so on.

After all these preliminary works were completed at the beginning of the month and passed Simon's review, the casting officially started.

As a Middle-earth fantasy series comparable to the Western "Journey to the West", it officially started casting, announcing that the film has entered the substantive production stage. Daenerys Entertainment also launched the first stage of promotion. Huge, in order to maximize the success, before the film is officially released, it is necessary to continuously produce various topics to build momentum for the film.

Let's talk about Nicole Kidman.

In the former "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, male characters such as Gandalf, Frodo, and the elf prince Legolas were basically very successful, except for Agent Smith. Even if you are an elf, you are not as handsome as the later Lee Pace. To a certain extent, it can't be too ugly, right?

Therefore, except for Hugo Weaving, other male characters will basically use the original version.

As for the two important female characters, Cate Blanchett's Elven Queen Galadriel and Liv Tyler's Princess Arwen, Simon plans to change them all.

Kate the Devil is an actress that Simon likes very much, but it is a pity that she still loses in appearance.

Simon also delineated the brand new Galadriel, Nicole Kidman, from a very early stage.

Compared with Kate, Nicole, who was at the peak of her appearance in the 90s, is simply perfect for this role.

However, this time there were some problems.

Nicole's net worth is very high now, and the salary for commercial films basically starts at 500 million US dollars.

If the trilogy is packaged according to the normal value, even if it is slightly discounted, the film salary will reach tens of millions of dollars, which is obviously beyond the limit that the project can bear.

After all, there are as many as dozens of characters with names and surnames in the "Lord of the Rings" series. Simon's strategy decided in advance is to use all second- and third-tier actors, and even newcomers.

Therefore, many important roles, such as Orlando Bloom, who plays the prince of elves, and Viggo Mortensen, who plays the emperor Aragorn, etc., will not have a fixed salary in the negotiated agreement, but like Ordinary behind-the-scenes employees only get a weekly salary. Bloom, who was once very popular, has a weekly salary of only 2000 US dollars in this agreement.

Such a casting strategy can ensure that the largest proportion of the budget is spent on the production of the film.

Why is the quality of the former "Lord of the Rings" trilogy series so high, and the level of special effects even 20 years later makes it difficult for many so-called special effects blockbusters to catch up?The trilogy does not have any big names participating in the budget, which is precisely one of the key reasons.

Simon initially thought about giving up Nicole directly, but later let Linda try it out.

He didn't show up in person, and he had a clear attitude, acting or not.

Because Simon only gave 500 million US dollars in remuneration, 500 million for the trilogy, and there is no sharing clause, it is impossible this time to promise an Oscar supporting actress as a replacement like "L.A. Confidential" which is still being filmed.

The average salary of more than 160 million US dollars is far lower than Nicole's worth. However, if accepted, Nicole is still the one with the highest salary in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and of course the coffee position is also the highest.

Nicole obviously hesitated, and didn't give a formal reply until half a month later.

Willing to play.

Simon didn't delve into the girl's mental journey, but arranged for a makeup test today.

Arriving at a floor dedicated to the "Lord of the Rings" project, Nicole and Linda did not go directly to the dressing room, but first came to an audition room, and quietly entered the door, where an audition was in progress.

The two women stood calmly behind several staff members, looking at a pair of men and women in ancient costumes who were performing in the arena.

Apparently, the brunette who played Princess Arwen comforted her affectionately: "Your fate is different from his."

"But my body has the same blood as his," the man said, turning his back to Arwen slowly, and looking at her: "We have the same weaknesses."

Princess Arwen took a step forward, showing a prophetic tone in her consolation: "When that day comes, you will face the same evil, but you will overcome it."

Having said that, Arwen changed to another language, and continued to whisper something prophetically.

Nicole looked at Linda beside her suspiciously.

"This is the elven language specially designed by the crew, and you have to learn it next. Also, here is Princess Arwen, who is trying to comfort Aragon, who is in self-exile, to get back on his feet." After explaining this, Linda continued: "Do you think How are the two of them?"

Nicole said softly: "Baby fat, it's too obvious."

Linda also smiled and looked at the girl named Charlize Theron. Although the information shows that she is 22 years old, it is true that the obvious baby fat affects her temperament very much.As for the casting of Princess Arwen, temperament is precisely a very important item.In addition, judging from Linda's many years of casting experience, this girl is not suitable for black hair, and she will look a little glamorous.

Princess Arwen is a half-elf with dark hair.

The characteristics of the elves should be noble, elegant, close to the heart and dare not be profane.

Not to mention the baby fat that may be eliminated through some means in the follow-up. I have seen Charlize Theron in blond state before, and my first impression fits the temperament needed by an elf. However, today I dyed my hair black and auditioned with makeup. Gives a feeling of inconsistency.

At the end of a scene on the stage, after a few conversations, Simon asked Charlize Theron to perform a part alone, and more than ten minutes had passed before he knew it.In the end, Simon and Peter Jackson, who were sitting in the middle of a row of long tables, didn't comment on anything, but let them rest first, and whispered together.

Linda Vargas waited for a while, and took Nicole forward while the two were talking. Only then did Simon notice that Nicole came over, greeted her, and asked, "How does "LA Confidential" feel?"
