Chapter 45 47. I want to cooperate with you (please read it later)

The last actor who auditioned was standing in front of him, the crazy Heath Ledger.

A clown made him completely deified. His mesmerizing and terrifying performance made Christian Bale feel breathless.

He perfectly portrayed a clown who is a combination of a mental patient, a criminal, a child, an artist, and a philosopher, a clown that is creepy in its absurdity, yet transcendent in its creepiness.

He eventually became the ultimate freak that Gotham had ever bred, and even reached the top of the pantheon of villains.

In Nolan's Batman trilogy, Batman can defeat the Ninja Master and Bane, but he can't defeat the Joker.

Eric never hides his love for any actor, and Heath Ledger is undoubtedly one of them.

But his temperament really doesn't match "Transformers". Eric was thinking about it when he got Heath Ledger's resume, but he racked his brains and still couldn't figure out where to put him. It would be an insult to have him play a small cameo role, so he could only give up with regret.

On the set, after Heath Ledger introduced himself, Eric did not go through the audition process, but instead asked, "Heath, has the filming of 'Kelly' been completed?"

This movie has not been released yet. Heath Ledger plays the leading actor, a thief who goes from forbearance to explosion and finally death under the oppression of society.

Thinking that Eric was worried about schedule conflicts, Heath Ledger quickly replied, "It's already been filmed. I have plenty of time."

"Did the process go smoothly? I watched the trailer and your role is very complicated. How do you usually immerse yourself in the role?"

Feeling a little puzzled, Heath Ledger still answered: "The dramatic conflict of "Kelly Allen" is indeed more complicated, and the emotional gap between the characters is very large, but my acting skills were recognized by the director."

"As for how to get into the role, in addition to studying the script and communicating, I like to lock myself in the room. The quiet environment allows me to think more and get into the role faster."

Eric nodded. "Heath, I'm not worried about your acting skills. You've already proven yourself in The Death Row Wife."

Heath Ledger was a little surprised: "You've seen "The Conman's Wife"? That's a very unpopular movie, and I only played a small role."

"All roles, big or small, are important, but I'm a little worried about your approach to acting. Although a claustrophobic environment can help you get into the role, it can also make people more likely to go crazy."

At this point, Heath Ledger couldn't understand what Eric meant. Wasn't this an audition? How did it become a chat? Everyone else looked at Eric strangely.

After chatting for a few more minutes and advising him to get more sun and stop dwelling on trivial matters, Eric finally told him the result: "Heath, there's no need for an audition. You're not suitable for Sam."

Heath Ledger was stunned on the spot. Weren’t they chatting just now?

One moment he asked about my schedule, the next moment he praised my acting skills. I was just feeling happy, but the next moment he gave me a huge fight. It really messed up my mentality!

He quickly begged: "Wait sir, at least let me finish the audition before drawing any conclusions, okay?"

"No need. I've seen your movies, "Two Hands," "10 Things I Hate About You," "The Patriot," "The Crusade Knights," "The Four Feathers," and "The Sinner Eater." I've seen them all. I understand your acting style, even better than you do."

Looking at Eric reciting his works as if they were his own treasures, Heath Ledger felt proud and aggrieved, and was speechless for a moment.

Just as he was about to leave, Eric said, "Heath, Sam is really not suitable for you, but if you are willing, I want to work with you, but the time will be postponed."

At this moment, Heath Ledger felt his brain was a little confused, and asked, "What time?"

"It has not been decided yet. It may be the second half of next year or the first half of the year after next."

"That's fine, no problem for me, but I need to read the script first."

"no problem."

Since he can't get Sam, it would be nice to get any other role. The actor is afraid that he will have no choice.

I finished the audition in a daze, got a role in a daze, and walked to the door of the MGM building in a daze.

Only then did Heath Ledger realize that something was wrong. He hadn't even asked about the genre of the movie or what role he would play.

Besides, making a movie is the director's job. No matter how good you are as a producer, you cannot take the director's place. Can your words be counted?

He suddenly realized that this might be a trap, but given his personality, he couldn't go back on his word after just agreeing to something.

What's more, although the man opposite him is about the same age as him, he actually holds the power in MGM, so he is a little scared.

Forget it, let’s talk about it when the time comes.

The audition finally ended and everyone stretched together.

After a short break, they began to discuss the candidates for the male lead. After screening, there were only two candidates in the end: Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling.

But in Eric's mind, there is a more suitable candidate, Andrew Garfield.

But when he was looking at the resumes, he didn't find Garfield and thought that the people below had no vision and screened him out.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After asking, I found out that there really wasn't any. I also don't know whether this kid has entered the entertainment industry now, so I can only give up.

After some discussion, they decided to eliminate Ryan Gosling because his face was too long and it didn't look like a good match when standing next to Gal Gadot.

In the end, the audition successfully resulted in a leading actor, a computer expert, and several American soldiers.

Imagine a "Transformers" movie that brings together Captain America, Wonder Woman, Professor X, Magneto, and Bane. It would be quite exciting.

When they become famous in the future, their fans will surely scream with excitement when they go back and look through their history.

Three days later, the audition results were announced, and Gal Gadot's identity was also announced, which immediately caused a stir in public opinion.

"Why not James Franco? He's the perfect fit."

"Shit, James Franco's acting is so bad, he can't even compare to Joseph, Joseph is way better than him, is the director blind? Why didn't he choose Joseph?"

"I like Jake Gyllenhaal, his deep eyes are so great, he is the most suitable person."

"Are you crazy? Jake Gyllenhaal is so ugly, he is not worthy of the Transformers, let alone the Autobots. He is not even worthy of Gal Gadot!"

"No one likes Chris Evans? He is so handsome. The director has a great vision."

"Which eye of yours sees Chris Evans as handsome? He's just a big guy who can only play dumb idiots, and his movies have proven that."

"The male lead is a terrible choice, the female lead is good, and this newcomer looks hot!"

"I agree, this is the only right choice the director made, I like her nose, it's so charming!"

It’s time to decide on next week’s recommendations. Please support me, brothers.
