Chapter 738: A Woman with a Face Smaller than Her Age(1/2)
"Qin"
Before leaving, Barry held the red wine bottle in his arms and hugged it tightly, showing how precious it was.
When leaving, I left a message:
"[Doomsday Collapse] has already been planned by Warner. The actors have been confirmed and filming is about to begin."
"The filming location has been determined long ago, and the crew and crew have already set off."
"So the mother and daughter actors you recommended should be reported to Warner Bros. as soon as possible."
Qin Dong nodded and said nothing more.
After seeing off Barry and Martin, Qin Dong returned to the living room and began to think deeply.
It will take one week for Yoona to finish filming in Hawaii. Then she will rush back to Warner to report and join the new crew in a week.
I'm a little busy, but compared to Yoona's schedule in Girls' Generation, this busyness is nothing.
Moreover, the role of the second female lead in a movie costing US$100 million, which can even be considered as the lead female role, is definitely a boost for Yoona.
“I only play the role of Yoona’s mother, who should I choose?”
Yoona's character is an adult, around 20 years old, which means that the mother character must be around 40 years old.
"Fan Liangliang Li Bingbing"
"No, they may be in their thirties, but their appearance is a bit young, not suitable for acting, and they probably don't want to."
Qin Dong thought about the older women among the women in the country who were close to him.
The two Bingbings were eliminated first.
Although they are all in their thirties now, they can wear makeup to look older.
It's a pity that Qin Dong knew that they still had ambitions and wanted to be heroines, so it was impossible for them to play the role of mother.
"pottery"
"never mind."
Then he thought of another woman, Xu Shan's wife.
I just thought that Xu Shan is now focused on building his own career as a director. Ever since he finished filming Daqin Company's "Journey to the Road 3", he has become involved with Ning Hao.
These two people are very big-hearted and wild, and they are not the same people as Qin Dong.
So even though Tao let Qin Dong miss things in Thailand a little bit, at this moment, Qin Dong gave up.
The two can only go further and further apart.
"Other women are younger."
After thinking about it, Qin Dong felt a little numb and scratched his hair.
Women in the entertainment industry usually look much younger than their age.
Now if you look for a woman in her forties who plays the role of a mother, then the real age of this actress is most likely to be in her forties to fifties.
Actresses of this age group generally don’t think about heroines.
After looking at the time, Qin Dong calculated that it was late night in Los Angeles and early morning in Kyoto, so he called Shishi.
"Baby, did you sleep well last night?"
"It's strange that you can remember to call back."
Shishi on the other side was surprised that Qin Dong took the initiative to call.
The man smiled bitterly, "Hey, it's all his fault. There are too many women, and his energy cannot satisfy all of them."
Otherwise, just by making phone calls, we would have to make so many calls every day.
After finally coaxing the woman, we got down to business:
"Honey, are there any women over forty years old in China? Well, it's best if they can speak English."
"Warner here needs a Chinese character, but I can't think of anyone in the industry."
"There are many actresses in their forties in this industry, but it's normal if you don't know. You are not often in the country. You are a flash in the pan and broke out in the domestic entertainment industry."
After hearing this, Shishi smiled at Qin Dong and then said:
"But the requirement is that someone can speak English. I have to check it. I will send the information to your mobile phone later, husband."
"It's late at night over there. I won't be able to call you back. Go to bed early and don't exhaust yourself."
The woman's concern made Qin Dong feel a little guilty.
He has a lot of love, but unfortunately he gives it to many women. Each woman doesn't get much.
The two of them stayed on the phone for another half an hour, chatting about their son, parents and relatives, before finally hanging up.
"Xu Qing?"
When Qin Dong got up the next day, he saw the message on his phone.
Seeing this name, Shishi was afraid that Qin Dong didn't know who the actor was, so she sent an email.
Qin Dong turned on the computer and browsed carefully.
"A woman born in 1969 is now 44 years old. Well, she is the right age."
Seeing his age, Qin Dong nodded and continued reading.
"In 2011, I collaborated with Hollywood action star Bruce Willis on the movie [Looper], which was released in 2012."
"Xu Qing speaks English here and does her own dubbing."
"This is also consistent."
Seeing this, Qin Dong felt relieved.
It's not that you have to speak English, but it's a pity that Qin Dong intervened halfway.
This is a bit unethical. Furthermore, this is a script written by a foreigner, not a co-production. Qin Dong has no investment amount, and it is not a movie shot by Qin Dong.
Due to emotions and reasons, Qin Dong is not suitable to recommend actors who cannot speak English.
Otherwise, this would embarrass Barry and make him unsuitable.
"My dear, this woman is really good-looking and takes good care of herself."
Looking at the woman's photo and searching for the movie "Looper", Qin Dong looked at the scenes of Xu Qing's character in it.
I found that this woman's age really doesn't show off.
She is full of charm and has the character of a mature young woman, but her face is a bit tender and the wrinkles seem to be non-existent.
This kind of maintenance is beyond that of most Hollywood actresses.
"Awesome, awesome."
"Look at Hollywood actresses of this age group"
"Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett, Julia Roberts, Naomi Watts and others."
“They are all in their forties”
"But look at the appearance and the smoothness of the face."
"Only Cate Blanchett can be slightly comparable to Xu Qing. The other women, Nicole and Julia, are at least five years apart."
"And Naomi is obviously younger than Nicole and Kate, but her face looks the oldest."
After studying for a while, Qin Dong closed these messy web pages and left a few words in the email:
"Baby, just her."
"Tell this person to arrive in Los Angeles in six days, take a day off to catch up on jet lag, then report to Warner Bros., and then immediately head to the filming location."
"When you get up tomorrow and see the message, ask someone from the company to contact Xu Qing immediately."
"I want her to give an accurate reply that day. There is not much time. Leave extra time. If the other party doesn't have time, you can choose another actor."
After sending it, Qin Dong closed his laptop and stood up just to walk out of the study.
I just thought of one thing. After standing there and thinking for a while, I opened my laptop and sent an email to Shishi again:
"Baby, I remembered something."
"Currently my agent Martin is negotiating with Sony Columbia."
"There is a high probability that we will discuss an adaptation of an old Colombian movie."
"I will definitely arrange for my own people to play the four protagonists, but among the four protagonists, only one is suitable for our company."
"I think Guan Tongtong is suitable for the role when I was a child."
"I think Reba is suitable for the role of growing up."
"If you, my dear, feel that there is no problem after discussing with the company, let them learn more English before this, so as not to fall behind when the time comes."
"If the baby feels it's not suitable, then let someone else from the company act."
