Carl had a good talk with Jim, and his opinion of Jim also improved a lot from the initial one. Jim's ideas and opinions impressed him a lot and Carl decided to continue working with Jim. Jim will be the producer of Greyson picture's this project.
The producer is a very important role. If the film process is likened to a driving bus, the audience is the tourists in the bus, and the director is the driver.
Only when the driver drives the car to a place with charming scenery can passengers see the charming scenery. On the contrary, if he drives into a muddy ditch with nothing, passengers can only see a large piece of mud.
The producer assumes the responsibility of manufacturing the car, spending money to build the car, finding a driver, and so on.In short, he needs to coordinate everything in the crew. This is the importance of the producer and that's why his staff was not going to let him be the sole producer. Anyway, the problem is solved with Jim's presence.
Now that the script is ready, budget and props are being finalized by the staff, director and producers are also finalized, so the only thing left was the actors.
In Hollywood, even the waiters and taxi driver at any point can pull out a badge to show you that he is an actor.
This is the Hollywood. As long as you pay small fee to the actor union, you can become a professional actor.
Actors union in America is truly a real and strong union which protects the rights of the actors and has a great voice in the industry.
Take the script this time as an example. If you need any actors, just list the conditions to the actor union, and they will give you a list of all qualified ones, and then the film company will choose them.Of course, you can also recruit actors yourself, but more actors still rely on the arrangement of the union.
Therefore, Kevin directly posted the recruitment notice at the union instead of choosing openly.
On the day of auditions, when Carl came to the studio, there was a big line of people waiting for the audition. He wasn't surprised as he had seen such scenes before. In Hollywood, there are lines of people to audition for a simple supporting role, while this is a real audition. So he wasn't much surprised by the huge crowd.
Entering the building, he went directly to the audition studio on third floor. Director Was Carven, Jim, Company executive Elanor Gracia all important people were present.
Carl greeted everyone and sat on his chair.
Seeing Carl siting, Jim said: "I think we should start."
The auditions started. The first to audition was the role of Sidney, the protagonist in the movie.
The auditions continued and many actresses went and go. Although some were good, but the final choice was not made already. After all, Sidney's role is the most important, so it's better to have choices. Carl didn't speak much as it was better for director to choose which actor he wanted to work with, as long as director chose rightly.
"Mrs. Witherspoon, thank you for your performance. We will tell your agents the results after the discussion."
As the candidate left, Jim asked the director: "How was she?"
Director Was Craven said: "She's okay, but there were few better than her. And she is too young compared to the others for the role."
Executive Elanor also nodded. Director looked at Carl: "What do you say Mr. Carl?"
He asked for the company boss's opinion. He's very satisfied working with a man like Carl Greyson. Carl hasn't troubled him in any matter or tired to show his superiority by pulling some dirty tricks like others.
Carl replied: "I agree with you. But we can cast her for the role of Casey Baker, the student who dies at the beginning."
Everyone nodded hearing Carl's words. This is a good idea. One more role was finalized.
The witherspoon who auditioned just now is the famous future actress Reese Witherspoon. Hollywood is very small and he saw many famous future actors in this small audition. He tried to let the director accept those actors for the roles. Anyway its better to select actors with bright futures. Hollywood is a circle and having more friends is a great thing.
