When I came to the MGM building, under the guidance of the front desk, I came to the interview location on the seventh floor smoothly.
"Director Kevin, I'm free tonight, you can call me..."
The front desk is an American sweet girl with big breasts and fat hips. After bringing Kevin to his destination, he winked at Kevin, gestured with his finger on Kevin's palm, and left a note at the same time. Then he twisted his hips and walked towards the elevator.
Looking at her back, Kevin was a little speechless.
Why are they all treating him as a hungry ghost, I really thought he liked everything.
The three women he has now will all be big stars in Hollywood in the future, and they will still be big beauties who have been recognized as sexy by some women and recognized by beauty rankings.
Just a front desk
Kevin threw the note into the trash can and walked into an office.
"Kevin, come here."
Reiter and a producer from Warner got up to greet Kevin and greeted Kevin to his seat before continuing:
"Kevin, you look at this list, these are the stars who are interested in the protagonist of Pirates of the Caribbean."
"I've already arranged everything, and I'm interviewing today."
Kevin has gone through three consecutive film sales and the status of MGM's major shareholder, thus gaining the highest voice in the crew led by him.
Simply put, he can use whoever he wants, and no one will question him.
His authority is assured, at least until his films fail at the box office.
After listening to what Leiter said, Kevin picked up the list in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Soon, he saw several familiar names from the list.
Brad Pitt, one of the big stars in Hollywood, although he is still very immature at this time compared to the future, but this year's Best Actor at the Venice International Film Festival is enough to prove his strength.
Jude Law, who was only 21 years old, was also sent to this interview with the power of the company behind him.
Apart from the two of them, the one that Kevin noticed the most was Johnny Depp.
As for the others, to be honest, although there are bigger names than them, they don't fit the Captain Jack Sparrow temperament described by Kevin in the script.
And these three people have a prodigal aura about them, which is in line with the character Kevin portrayed in the script.
"This time, let's choose one of Brad Pitt, Jude Law, and Johnny Depp."
"They have the prodigal air I need, and the others, just go through the interview."
Kevin chanted three names and said slowly.
Reiter and Warner's producers nodded.
Kevin's successive successes are beyond doubt.
Their meaning here is actually for others in their respective companies to see, in order to show that Kevin did not go his own way, but chose actors based on everyone's opinions.
But in essence, they all knew that Kevin was the only boss on the set.
These actions are nothing more than a fig leaf, in order to give some explanations to the minority shareholders.
...
Brad Pitt rushed to MGM, and then said uncertainly to the agent beside him:
"Can I get the lead in Steve Kevin's movie?"
Although he has just won the best actor in Venice, the gold content of this award is actually not so recognized in the United States.
The arrogant and confident character of Americans makes them obsessed with everything about their own country. Only the Oscar is the most recognized award by the audience.
Venetian actor?
Never heard of it at all.
At this time, Brad Pitt, although he was well-known in Hollywood, it was extremely difficult to easily get such a large-scale role.
The broker said with a sullen face:
"It's very difficult. Generally speaking, the important roles of this kind of big production have been determined as early as when the project was established."
"Although Pirates of the Caribbean is interviewing publicly, it only shows that they have multiple actors they value, not a real public interview."
"We just do our best. You have to show your strength in front of Steve Kevin."
"If he is valued, even if this movie doesn't choose you, but you can't be sure about the next movie, even if you think about it, you won't be sure."
"If you want to develop in Hollywood, it is a necessary condition to be familiar with these famous directors."
The broker comforted.
Brad Pitt, handsome and good acting.
He is the most potential star in his hands. For this reason, he took Brad Pitt to get familiar with the major directors.
This time, the interview opportunity for Pirates of the Caribbean was also obtained by him looking for a relationship.
It's also a big production. In Steve Kevin's movie, Brad Pitt has a chance to get the male lead, but once it is replaced by Spielberg or Lucas's movie, Brad Pitt will instead It's hard to get this opportunity.
This is the gap in competitive intensity.
With some nervousness, Brad Pitt arrived outside the interview room on the seventh floor of the MGM building.
After waiting for several casting interviews to be completed, a staff member went out and shouted:
"Is Brad Pitt here?"
"coming!"
Brad Pitt shouted loudly and walked directly into the interview room.
Kevin looked at Brad Pitt in front of him and handed him a page explaining the character of Captain Jack Sparrow, as well as some of the scenario settings of the plot.
"You have ten minutes to look at the material and then act out in front of me what you understand as Captain Jack Sparrow."
Kevin smiled and said relaxedly.
