Nicole responded, "Not bad, quite a complicated character."

Simon just wanted to be polite. He was too busy to chat with Nicole, so he simply exchanged greetings and said, "Go and try your makeup. Peter and I will see the effect later."

Nicole is now a veritable big name, and she also has a big temper on the set, but unfortunately she doesn't dare to show it in front of men, so she obediently leaves the audition room and goes next door to put on makeup.

Simon also continued here.

After Charlize Theron, there are two other candidates, Curce Gauff and Jennifer Connelly.

In addition to the last three selected during this period, there is also a long list of actresses such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Mia Sara, Uma Thurman trying to fight for this role. These are the last three selected indivual.

The audition time of the next two people lasted more than half an hour each.

Each has advantages and disadvantages.

Charlize Theron has the best temperament and acting skills, but unfortunately, apart from baby fat, this actress really doesn't match black hair.

Quss Gauff, who was born as a model, has a great appearance and temperament, and her black hair is also very good. The problem is that standing with Viggo Mortensen will not call at all, and with a baby face, it will even give people a sense of humor. A father-daughter feeling.

Jennifer Connelly was born with brunette hair and was the first one to be excluded after the audition.

It's so beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people play.

Of course, Charlize Theron and Curse Gauff are also very beautiful, but if the two are still in the 80s, Jennifer Connelly is a stunner who has passed the 90s.

No way, sometimes it's wrong to be too beautiful.

Hollywood actresses want to be popular. One of the unspoken rules about appearance is that the basic score of appearance is basically between 70 and 80 points. This is called advancing and retreating. Below, if you dress up carefully, you can score 70 or even 60 points.

The most important thing is that the basic appearance should be approachable and not make people play.

More typical ones are Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Angelina Jolie, Julianne Moore and even Jennifer Lawrence, the youngest actress ever.As for Charlize Theron with a score of 80 or more, in order to stand out, she even has to take the initiative to disfigure her face in "The Devil", and many subsequent characters also need to play ugly, such as Ferguson in "Mad Max: Fury Road". Reosa.

All in all, it is very difficult for those outside the 70 to 80 range to get out.

But, then again, Queen Galadriel and Princess Arwen in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy happen to be rarely prepared for actresses who can reach 80 or even 90 points after putting on makeup. Jennifer Kang The same is true for Nali being selected as the last three. The reason why she is so beautiful is that in the final analysis, there is an element that the actress' acting skills are not good enough.

Finally Simon and Jackson argue over Charlize and Curse.

Simon leans slightly toward Quss Gauff, a girl he has personally trained in recent years. From "The Man From Earth" to the best-selling "James of the Brave" at the end of last year, not only her career has been steadily improving, but her acting skills have also been improving. in progress.

Moreover, it has to be said that the image of an elf in Simon's mind should actually be that of Quss Gauff.

Supermodel body, small features, fair skin.

To be more precise, many Slavic girls raised by Simon in Ukraine are the standard elf template in Simon's aesthetics.

Therefore, in addition to the elf maid promised to Elizabeth a few days ago, Simon has also made up his mind in private. At that time, a group of Slavic girls from Elite and Ukraine will be selected to play guest elves, and a group of Middle-earth supermodels will be formed.

This is off topic.

The end result was that after Simon and Jackson discussed and listed all the conditions of Charlize and Curse, they finally settled for the second best and chose Charlize Theron.

Mainly because Curs Gauff and Viggo Mortensen really didn't call.

If the role of Princess Arwen is a more detached existence like Queen Galadriel, Simon will definitely choose Quss Gauff. You can only choose Charlize who has a good chemistry with Mortensen during the audition process.

Since such a decision has been made, the matter will be announced on the spot.

Charlize Theron got the confirmation from Simon, couldn't help covering her mouth, and almost squatted on the ground crying on the spot.

From almost appearing in Paul Verhoeven's limited-rated "Showgirls" in 94 to now, Charlize has been in various small roles for more than three years, and often wonders whether the brief intersection with a certain big man is not A dream, or, he may have completely forgotten himself.

It's finally time to turn today.

After all, even though she was born in South Africa, Charlize is well aware of the high popularity of the "Lord of the Rings" series in the West, not to mention that Simon Westeros, who has never failed since his debut, personally manages and participates in such a blockbuster For the bomb series, regardless of the success or failure of the project, her reputation will rise a lot, and thus she will get more opportunities in the future.

Ni, who has already put on her makeup and changed into her costume, can see that this situation is also quite emotional.

The reason why he is willing to take this role at a low price this time is also due to his experience over the years.Although a certain man does not force him, Nicole has to admit that the opportunities released from his hands can often make an unremarkable Hollywood star a blockbuster.

Not to mention the "Lord of the Rings" series.

Even though the salary was very low, Nicole finally took it, except that it was an opportunity given by someone, and she also became more and more aware that many rules in Hollywood were changing rapidly. A big-name star wanted to be like 1978 It is no longer possible for Marlon Brando in "Superman" in 10 to get the sky-high $1400 million salary plus dividends for just a mere [-] minutes of supporting roles.

At least, it won't happen again on Daenerys Entertainment's side.

Then just face reality.

The reality is that a certain young man is basically the rule of Hollywood today.

After asking the staff to take Charlize, who was a little out of control, to rest, Simon and Jackson turned their attention to Nicole.

Nicole is also a big beauty with a base score higher than 80. At this time, after putting on makeup and standing in front of everyone, she is completely Queen Galadriel with a score of 90 and above. Even without auditioning, the two big men made a decision at the same time. any objection.

The queen and the princess were finalized. In the last few days of August, Simon and Jackson were busy with other affairs non-stop, not only casting, but also the two-year publicity plan until the first film was released, as well as detailed planning of the shooting process. wait.

And budget.

The budget of the trilogy was finally finalized at $2.7 million, an average of $9000 million per film, which is comparable to what it used to be.

Simon didn't directly round up to give 3 million, but it also gave Jackson a space to overspend. After all, 3 million was paid at the beginning, which would inevitably make the crew spend a lot of money. This is not what Simon wants to see.

Then there's the filming location.

Compared with the previous New Zealand, the new "Lord of the Rings" trilogy will be completely produced in Australia. After all, New Zealand has the same scenery as the Australian mainland, and even more magnificent and beautiful, not to mention that Daenerys Entertainment is still in Australia. The country has a complete film and television industry chain.

Not only that, but there is also the tax rebate factor.

After more than half a year of negotiations, after Daenerys Entertainment gave a Middle-earth marketing plan, and of course the promotion of the Westeros system in Australia, Daenerys Entertainment promised a trilogy including filming and Later, after 100% of all productions were made in Australia, the Australian government finally approved a tax rebate of up to 5000 million US dollars.

This also means that under the premise of no overspending, Daenerys Entertainment only needs to spend 2.7 million U.S. dollars out of a budget of 2.2 million U.S. dollars, and the Australian government will pay for the rest. 2.2 million US dollars is only a little more than a "Titanic" filmed by some bad guy. Not surprisingly, Daenerys Entertainment can get a classic Middle-earth trilogy series.

The driver communicated with the doorman, the Mercedes-Benz entered, and soon stopped in the parking lot.

Zhang Guoshi put the speech into the bag, and the driver that Jinshu provided for him had already opened the door for him and got out of the car. He had just spoken politely to the driver, and someone came up to him.
