Chapter 531 Blame me for this

Please give me a monthly ticket and ticket!

In the temporary audition room on the warehouse set, representatives of the Actors Union and Michelle Williams sat in the front, Murphy and Gal Gadot sat in a relatively back seat, with a monitor in front of them. The scenes of the actors captured by the audition camera will be transmitted to the monitor as soon as possible.

In front of the camera, a sturdy actor over six feet tall had just finished performing a literary scene.

Murphy didn't speak, but just looked at the male actor. The other party's facial contour was tough and reflected into the camera screen, which looked extremely hard, giving people a ridged and angular texture, born like the male protagonist.

In addition to these, his hard face is full of perseverance, and he is definitely not the kind of handsome man who looks like a sissy.

"Mr. Cavill," Michel Williams said at this time, "Please take off your top."

Since there was such a process in the previous audition instructions, the male actor named Cavill took off his shirt without hesitation, revealing his angular muscles.

Murphy tilted his head and looked at the monitor, and then looked at the actor himself. Although the other party's muscles did not meet the role requirements, they were already the best among all the male actors auditioned today. Moreover, with such a figure and muscle as the basis, it is not difficult to develop stronger muscles after professional training.

"This is the best one today." Gal Gadot leaned over and said.

"Yeah." Murphy nodded slightly.

Although his acting skills are average, his facial contour and figure do meet the requirements of the male lead.

Michel Williams probably saw Murphy and Gal Gadot communicating, and couldn't help but look inquiring. Murphy gently waved his hand and signaled him to continue following the audition procedure.

Watching the actor continue audition, Murphy is also considering the pros and cons. The male actor has a natural advantage in appearance. Since it is a realistic film, the male protagonist, as a fighting expert, cannot be a thin type. He must be a strong man. If he creates a scene where a beautiful man in a beautiful man can easily bring down several big men, he will probably laugh countless times during the screening.

Such a dark and heavy video, it is definitely a failure to appear in a laughing scene.

As for acting skills, such films, there are actually not many places to be used, and there are not even a few places. They only need basic acting skills. When he first planned, he did not expect the male lead to a big explosion in acting skills and win a few performance awards or something like that.

The audition was over soon, and the actor was about to leave, but Murphy suddenly shouted at him, "Wait."

The actor named Cavill immediately looked at Murphy, and the surprise in his eyes flashed, "Director Stanton?"

"You are an Englishman." Murphy asked while flipping through his information, "How do you speak American English?"

"I've been working in the United States for many years." The British actor immediately changed into an eastern accent, which sounded like a traditional New Yorker, "and was used to the accent here."

Obviously, the male actor made sufficient preparations before auditioning and even considered the accent of the character.

Murphy likes smart and hard-working actors, which is good for filming. He closed the profile and finally said, "Mr. Henry Cavill, you can go back and wait for notification."

"Thank you." Henry Cavill bowed slightly, turned and walked out of the audition room.

Michelle Williams had served as Murphy's assistant before. Knowing some of his speaking habits, he immediately understood that this British actor named Henry Cavill was already the most popular candidate for the male lead.

In the subsequent audition, Murphy also met several other candidates who looked good, such as Chris Hemsworth and Jeremy Renner, but their acting skills are not better than Henry Cavill. Moreover, they have contracts with Marvel Studios, and they may have troubles in schedules and promotional marketing. Based on all aspects, they are not as suitable for this film as Henry Cavill.

Another point is that Gal Gadot suggests that Henry Cavill's pay is even lower, and it can be handled with up to one million dollars.

As soon as the audition for the male lead was over, Murphy convened an interim meeting between the director and the producers, and discussed the candidates for the male lead based on the audition effect, saying that it was a discussion. In fact, in this regard, whether it was Gal Gadot and Michelle Williams, or the producers stationed in the crew of 20th Century Fox, they were all based on his opinions.

Since several years ago, Murphy has the right to decide the hero and heroine.

So, Henry Cavill from the UK got this role set as a New Yorker.

Even Murphy himself did not expect that he took Henry Cavill's Clark Kent and finally gave him another male lead.

I can only say that many times, the development of this world will not change due to personal will.

After confirming the male lead, Murphy did not directly participate in the female lead audition. Instead, she sat together with Henry Cavill, his agent, and the fitness coach specially hired by the crew for a while to determine Henry Cavill's fitness plan.

Henry Cavill is now quite strong, but Murphy asks him to become stronger to match the characteristics of the hero in the film that he is strong enough.

In any case, a muscular man is more in line with the setting of a fighting master.

Moreover, the main markets of the film are countries and regions such as North America, South America, Europe and Australia. In the film aesthetics of these countries, muscular men are more in line with aesthetics. Those slender and slim and versatile handsome men are just synonymous with "sissy".

Although this film will inevitably appear in two popular countries where Japanese and Korean beauty men are popular, Murphy will not make unnecessary changes for the sake of one or two markets.

The fitness coach's fitness plan for Henry Cavill is very professional, but it doesn't seem complicated. This is a three-month plan. Henry Cavill first needs to gain weight, consume 5,000 calories a day to let the body grow to a certain stage, and then lose excess body fat.

Currently, Henry Cavill weighs 190 pounds, with the goal of increasing to 220 pounds, and then dropping to about 205 pounds during shooting.

This is a common fitness method for increasing muscles by Hollywood actors, but this sudden weight gain and drop in a short period of time will not be of any benefit to the body.

Many Hollywood actors, especially those who can win Academy appreciation and achieve Oscars, often use this method to show their dedication and win the favor of those old men.

This doesn't seem to be a big deal in a short period of time, but if you have too many sudden gains and drops in weight, all the consequences will appear when you are older.

But Henry Cavill had no chance to refuse. If you want to get this role, you have to implement this plan. Faced with a strong director like Murphy, as long as he says "', it means he will lose this opportunity.

After getting over the male lead, Murphy then participated in the female lead audition. After watching the audition effect of Margot Robbie, he called for a stop to the entire second audition and confirmed that Margot Robbie would play the female lead.

At this point, all the four most important characters in the film were confirmed. Murphy threw all the remaining supporting roles and small characters to Michel Williams for responsibility. Just like in the past, Murphy knew the importance of delegating power and knew that he was not a superman and could not do everything himself.

"Are you tired?"

In the office, Gal Gadot received a cup of coffee and placed it on the table in front of Murphy, "Get a cup of coffee."

While speaking, she turned to Murphy's back, stretched out two slender fingers, and gently massaged his forehead.

Murphy had a cup of coffee first, then turned around and asked, "How do you have time?"

The two are not in the same office, he is very busy, and Gal Gadot, the producer and executive, also has a lot of work.

Gal Gadot smiled and said, "Maggie asked me to help her say thank you."

"Nothing, your friend."

Hearing Murphy's words, Gal Gadot rolled his eyes slightly. Since the character was a legal worker, Margot Robbie deliberately wore a body-shaping professional suit during the audition. This look not only touched Murphy, but also made everyone present look at him.

If it weren't for such a brilliant audition effect, with the personality of the guy in front of him, how could he have decided to use Margot Robbie so happily?

Murphy seemed to be able to guess what Gal Gadot was thinking, and said, "Don't think so inhumane. When Maggie was still a little bitch, I knew her. Of course, I would give priority to her if I had the chance."

"Well." Gal Gadot knew that Murphy was not that kind of person, and said, "Maggie would be in a better mood with this character. The clown girl who was about to get it has been dragged down by Warner. I don't know if she will be replaced."

"I'm blamed for this." Murphy shook his head, "I didn't think it through carefully at the time. I introduced her to Bruce Rosenblum, which instead implicated her."

Murphy was kind-hearted, so he introduced Margot Robbie to Bruce Rosenblum. Who knew that after "Batman vs. Superman" was released, Warner Bros. came to him to return to the D superhero movie plan, but was scared away by his Lion's big talk. It was estimated that his rejection had affected Margot Robbie.

"Maggie said, it has nothing to do with you." Gal Gadot sighed, "Everyone knows that she is my best friend, and I am your girlfriend again. These layers of relationships will always have some impact."

Murphy nodded. Whether it is an Eastern society or a Western society, the influence of the network of personal connections is quite great.

Although America is not a human society, and interests are the first priority in the Hollywood circle, the relationships within the rules often play a role.

However, these effects are both good and bad.

"By the way." Murphy remembered something, "Where is Maggie? She wants to thank me, why don't she do it herself?" (To be continued.)
