Deciding on Batman's Candidate

Soon, someone unexpected by Kevin came over.

"Cruise, why did you come to interview Batman?"

Kevin greeted Tom Cruise standing in front of him.

Cruise also responded with a smile:

"Batman, but the ultimate dream of every American, especially if you directed it, I'm just here to give it a try."

"It's not impossible if you can lower your pay."

Kevin asked tentatively.

Cruise just made a haha, how is this possible, the salary goes up, if he doesn't cherish it himself, others will not take him seriously.

He can promise Steve Kevin to reduce his salary today, and someone else will ask him to reduce his salary tomorrow, and his status as a superstar has fallen to the bottom in an instant.

Cruise directly explained his purpose:

"Kevin, what are you doing tonight? I want to invite you to dinner?"

Kevin nodded, Tom Cruise's network is still somewhat useful.

"Then wait until my interview is over."

Cruise and Kevin made an appointment and left.

Next, we entered the endless interview time.

The process is very boring.

As Batman, acting skills are not important, or there are too many places to operate. Around the mask, people can only see his eyes and a mouth.

In the whole plot, there are not many appearances.

But what Kevin wants is to take off his mask and be graceful.

Put on the mask, The Dark Knight.

This requires the quality of the actor.

After interviewing dozens of actors, Kevin also had a bit of a headache.

Batman's actors are really hard to find. If he can't find them, Kevin wants to go directly to the audition to find pure amateurs.

"Next person!"

Kevin stared blankly at the actor in front of him and introduced himself.

"Director Kevin, hello, my name is Christian Bale."

"I starred in a war movie directed by Spielberg..."

Kevin was suddenly shocked, this name was too familiar to him.

It is the original Batman in the Nolan Dark Knight trilogy, but Christian Bale seems to be young at this time.

Can he act well?

Kevin took a careful look at Christian Bale's resume, raised his spirits, smiled, and asked directly:

"You're only 21 years old, do you think you can play the role of Batman well?"

Although he asked, Kevin has already decided that as long as Christian Bale's acting skills are not too bad, he will be appointed.

For nothing else, in the minds of Americans, he is the second-best Batman actor among all the actors who have played Batman.

As for the first one, it was the first time Batman was brought to the big screen.

This kind of first love complex cannot be offset by someone who plays well.

Again, this proves that Christian Bale does act like Batman.

Of course, what Kevin feels here is that what he is performing is what the American audience wants, as to whether it is in line with the comics.

That certainly doesn't fit.

However, Kevin's directing philosophy has been emphasized many times before, and he does not pursue authenticity.

What he pursues is what the audience thinks is true, and what is false.

Christian Bale shook hands nervously and said:

"Yes, I think I can."

Kevin picked up two separate scripts from the table and handed them to Christian Bale.

"Okay, then please act out the scenes of Batman with and without a mask."

Christian Bale took over the script and quickly checked it.

Kevin pondered the background of Christian Bale.

At the age of 13, he starred in a Spielberg movie, saying he was okay, and no one believed him when he said it.

However, he is always British, and theoretically there should be no connections on the Hollywood side.

unless···

Kevin looked at his appearance again, and then suddenly realized.

Black hair, black eyes, hook nose, this is a typical Jewish appearance, plus he starred in Spielberg, a Jewish movie.

Apparently, it was mutual aid among the Jews.

Just thinking about it, Christian Bale's performance is over.

If Kevin had to express it in one sentence, it would be immature, but it was not irreparable.

"Take off your shirt!"

Kevin said directly.

Christian Bale also took off his shirt without hesitation, revealing solid muscles, but these muscles are very restrained, and they are always so inconspicuous if they don't take off one piece.

Kevin nodded, it was okay, but he needed to be stronger.

Here we have to talk about American aesthetics. Whether it is a handsome man or a tough guy, American male stars will always have abs.

This is their mainstream appreciation of aesthetics.

On the contrary, it is hard to say that Japan and South Korea's kind of motherhood is not deliberately guided by the United States.

"Christian Bale, your body is still too thin. I need you to gain 20 to 30 pounds in two months. Is there a problem?"

Christian Bale looked happy, and Steve Kevin's words almost ruled him.

Although I don't know why Steve Kevin chose himself, he was almost defeated by the great happiness of being this lucky one.

"No problem, I can do it, Director Kevin!"

Kevin nodded.

"Three days later, my assistant will inform you whether you are finally hired."

"Okay, thank you, Director Kevin!"

Christian Bale leaves with a huge sense of excitement.

The producer sent by Warner, after the actor left, couldn't help but ask:

"Director Kevin, I absolutely believe in your vision, but...is he too young?"

Kevin is very confident:

"Trust me, he's going to be America's favorite Batman."

Seeing Kevin's confidence, the producer nodded suspiciously.

After all, Kevin owns 30% of his investment, so he can't make fun of his investment.

Batman's interview took a day, and after interviewing hundreds of actors, Kevin finally selected three actors.

Among them, Christian Bale is the youngest, but he is also the most optimistic.

The other two are Kevin's alternatives. If Christian Bale's figure is not up to standard, Kevin will also choose to replace him.

But if Christian Bale does it, Kevin will hand him Batman as well.

Get out of the morning movie and get in the car.

"Go to the Rolla Baller Hotel."

Sitting in the car, Kevin thought about Tom Cruise's purpose...
