Ace Hollywood

During the last week of leaving the US for New Zealand, Daniel and Doug Liman made an appointment to audition.

He performed a few scenes according to the audition script, showing his kung fu foundation - Chinese independent films want to sell money, sometimes they have to incorporate something that interests foreigners, such as Chinese kung fu, so Daniel will point The kung fu is not surprising.

But Doug, the producer Robert Ludlum, including the casting director Joseph -- he's there because there are two supporting auditions today.

Jason Bourne is a powerful CIA agent. If he chooses Matt Damon, he must also learn Filipino boxing. Daniel actually mastered Chinese Kung Fu, and the CIA agents are proficient in Chinese Kung Fu? Not only is this unsurprising, but it's pretty cool! The CIA agent they want to portray - a magical figure who knows everything, besides, Daniel's kung fu is not so Chinese - in fact, whether it is Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee, they are completely different from the traditional Chinese martial arts born out of Taoism. They either prefer to have fun, or they pay more attention to strength. This is already Chinese Kung Fu fused with Western martial arts.

Daniel has specially grown a beard today, and looks a few years older than his actual age. In addition to being handsome, there is also some temperament that belongs to a real man—whether it is trained in bed or on the battlefield, this kind of temperament is very fascinating to ladies. Their bodies have little resistance to this kind of temperament. Under the circumstances, I can't wait to strip you naked.

A charming agent, isn't it?

Of course, the most important thing is that Daniel's performance is very good. He has never played such a role, but he is not inferior to Matt Damon, who has played the soldier several times. In terms of emotional scenes, Daniel has an overwhelming advantage. Compared with the monster-level Daniel, at Damon's age, his current acting skills are already good.

This is indeed a suitable candidate. Compared with Damon, Daniel is much cheaper-at least for now.

In fact, they had heard about Daniel, and Doug even asked Ridley Scott about Daniel after he sent his resume.

Ridley gave him an unquestionable answer.

So today's audition results did not surprise them.

This is also in line with their pre-audition assumptions.

The choice now is, Matt, who is more expensive, has important film appointments but is well-known and safer, still has a strong momentum, better cost-effective, and more focused-you must know that after the completion of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Daniel has not yet Set a work, but not so reassuring Daniel.

The crew of Bourne Shadow tends to be Matt Damon. Universal is not a small studio, nor is it an independent film company. As the oldest film production and distribution company in Hollywood, they will not always think about the future For the good things of a small fight big or a box office bomb, the predictable income is what they value most. Of course, that doesn't mean at all that they don't have illusions about low-budget, high-margin movies, just that a mature company won't let this gambler's mentality take hold.

Compared to Daniel, Matt is indeed more trustworthy.

This has something to do with The Talented Ripley now in theaters, which stars Matt Damon, new Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth, as well as Ju De Law, Philip Hoffman and Kate Bran. The genius series of movies starring Chet and other stars, which tells the story of a boy who fell into temptation, took 2307 screen paintings and won 12.73 million in the first three days, which is not a very good result. You must know that Campus Blues had 10 million on the first day-even though it was because the topic was hot,

The reason is that part of the audience was overdrawn in advance. But Damon's performance in the movie was still praised by everyone. Of course, Jude Law performed better, but this did not detract from Damon's charm.

Moreover, it is generally believed that The Talented Ripley with an investment of 40 million can get a box office of more than 80 million in North America, and at least 120 million worldwide. This curve is better than that of Campus Blues. In fact, the box office curve of Campus Blues is already quite strong among similar movies.

There's a hit movie that gives Damon a huge advantage over the Bourne rivalry, and in fact he's already beaten a slew of B-list stars and ex-A guys.

But even if there is a tendency, as long as there is no contract, anything can happen, and the choice of the first leading actor in the movie cannot be overstated.

Therefore, leave the rest to Kusa first, and let the Damon family fight for a while.

Daniel must prepare to fly to New Zealand. He had to be absent from the premiere of Scary Movie 3, for which he called Neveu to apologize, but Neveu was used to the wind and rain, so he explained it to him. After the situation changed, Neveu gave him a special phone call on the eve of his departure to New Zealand to talk about this matter, which made Daniel very impressed with this actress from the Canadian Ballet who only met once. good.

Cusa recently had several rounds of urgent discussions with the crew of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Daniel's role must be concentrated, and it is impossible for him to spend a year there for the role of Legolas.

However, it is also unrealistic to think that it will be completed in a month or two.

In the end, the result of the discussion between the two parties was that Daniel joined the group at the end of December, trained for one month, officially started filming at the end of January, and filmed for two months until the end of March, and then Daniel could go on other schedules, but in October, Daniel had to return It will take one and a half to two months to continue shooting in New Zealand. In addition, after the first film is released, Daniel also needs to participate in a little reshooting work.

The main shooting is really crowded into a long period, which is really unrealistic, but it is not bad to be able to finish shooting in two periods of time.

There are still a few months in between, and Daniel can take another play or do something else.

This has to be considered by Kusa first.

Daniel took Andy and flew from Los Angeles to Wellington. They will then travel from Wellington to Queenstown in Otago, where the filming took place.

This is a well-known tourist destination.

In fact, most of New Zealand's territory is a travel mecca - to different people.

From Wellington to Queenstown, Daniel made a sightseeing train, with blue sky and white clouds, lakes and waters, and beautiful scenery along the way.

The United States has already entered winter at this time, while New Zealand has ushered in summer, and everything seems to be full of vitality.

According to Peter Jackson's arrangement, Daniel will receive formal training in archery and equestrianism here, and then return to Wellington to learn fighting, etiquette, body shape, and even a special way of speaking—a more noble, refined, elf-like way of speaking .

Peter specially held a small welcome party for Daniel.

Lee Pace, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving and Liv Tyler are all filming scenes here, and he is the latest in the fairy kingdom.

Peter and Francis were in high spirits at the welcome party, clearly not offended that Daniel was coordinating the time.

Daniel is not sure whether Peter is happy for the next cooperation, or really understands the demanding time of a rising Hollywood star.

Regardless, it's a good thing.

Daniel picked up the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and gestured to Francis who was standing in the distance talking to Blanchett.
