Heads Up Hollywood

Generally speaking, Hollywood stars do not participate in auditions.

Stars, like directors, are booked by producers in the early stages of a film project. Then the producer took the list of directors and stars, went to investors to attract investment, and asked the studio to prepare for the project.

Auditions are usually for small actors or extras.

Tang En Pictures is not in this mode, at least not for now.

Tang En Pictures' films are currently being created with Tang En as the core, and only films approved by Tang En can be approved for shooting.

Because most of the actors who participated in this audition were well-known, Dunn Films also provided the best audition environment. It was not the simple and awkward location in the studio, but the Hilton Hotel.

Tang En Pictures has reserved 20 guest rooms here for the 20 actresses who participated in the audition.

They can make up, rehearse, communicate, and rest in the guest room, and then go to the presidential suite to participate in the audition with their best looks, and at the same time avoid the embarrassing situation of meeting other actresses.

Although everyone knew each other, and many of them were still friends, they were competitors after all. Especially Tang En's movies are very attractive, and no one will be polite.

Tang En didn't have a bureaucratic style, and went to each guest room very kindly, and exchanged simple greetings with the actors to make them relax.

"Uma, wow, you look so pretty today, you look well prepared?" Dunn was the first to come to Uma Thurman's room.

She was negotiating nervously with her agent, and there were six or seven assistants around her, busy with serious faces.

Seeing Dun En walk in, Uma Thurman was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed, "Mr. Walker? I'm sorry, I... I was talking about work, so I didn't notice you."

Tang En smiled, "It's okay, I'm just here to see if you need help."

"No no, everything is fine here!" Uma Thurman thanked sincerely, "I have participated in so many auditions, and this is the first time I have worked in such a good environment."

Tang En said with a smile: "You have given me face by being able to participate in this audition. Of course, we must provide the best preparation environment."

Uma Thurman bit her lip and hesitated, "Mr. Walker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to audition. I... I am friends with Quentin, and I only have a casual acquaintance with Harvey."

Her famous work is "Pulp Fiction" with Miramax and Harvey Weinstein, and now she is going to make "Kill Bill" with Harvey Weinstein.

Everyone in the industry knows that the relationship between Tang En and Harvey Weinstein is tense, and Uma Thurman's identity is naturally a little sensitive.

Tang En waved his hand and said indifferently: "I'm not that stingy, he is him, you are you! But... Uma, you should know better than me how that person's character is, and I hope you can cooperate with him." Be careful."

Uma Thurman's eyes turned red instantly.

Tang En was taken aback for a moment, and his eyes immediately widened, "Did he bully you?"

"No...no."

"That bastard, I can't spare him!"

"No, no, Mr. Walker, you misunderstood. Quentin and I are friends. He... he can protect me well."

Tang En's face darkened, and he snorted coldly, "One is a big producer and the other is a small actor, how do you think he will choose? Forget it, since you don't want to talk, I won't ask, but... Harvey · I will not let that bastard Weinstein go sooner or later, if you need help, you can find me."

"Thanks."

Uma Thurman breathed a sigh of relief, and she didn't know whether it was a sigh of relief or a bitter cry.

After leaving here, Tang En went to Jennifer Aniston, Neve Campbell, Denise Lee Richards, Mary Louise Parker, Diane Meyer, Linda Feau Lentino, Robin Tony, and Winona Ryder's room, simple greetings.

Everyone was very polite and friendly to Tang En.

However, because of their age, they did not act excessively with each other.

"Chicago" is a musical, and the main actors are all women, but most of them are not vase roles, which requires excellent acting skills and stage performance experience.

Therefore, most of the actresses participating in the election are between 30 and 40 years old.

Tang En wasn't very interested, and they didn't dare to take the initiative to move forward.

Until Tang En came to Catherine Zeta Jones' room and saw a beautiful smiling face, "Tang En?"

Tang En was slightly taken aback, a little surprised, "Why are you here?"

It turned out to be Rachel Weisz!

"We are good friends. We have known each other since we were in England."

"Oh? Really?" Tang En took a deep look at her, and then glanced at Catherine Zeta Jones, who was smiling with her lips pursed, "The two of you can work together in the chemistry test, maybe you can produce a wonderful result." chemical reaction."

Rachel Weisz was delighted, "Okay!"

Catherine Zeta Jones couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Mr. Walker, what you said...does it mean that we don't have to participate in the first round of auditions, and can directly prepare for the chemistry test?"

Tang En laughed, "The cutscene still has to go."

In the original "Chicago," Catherine Zeta-Jones performed so well that she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Tang En held this audition mainly to select another actress who was not satisfied with Renee Zellweger's performance in the original version.

As for Rachel Weisz... She was an old friend, so it was only natural to let her pass the first round.

Catherine Zeta Jones cleared out all the staff, and Rachel Weisz came to Tang En's side unabashedly, took his arm, and said half coquettishly: "Why don't you go to my house? "

"Too busy at work."

"So when you're done with this work?"

"Ahem..."

Tang En glanced at Catherine Zeta Jones, coughed twice, "Rachel, this is a workplace, pay attention to the influence."

Catherine Zeta Jones smiled coquettishly: "It's okay, how about... I give you the room?"

Before she finished speaking, she saw her expression change.

Rachel Weisz also let go of Tang En's arm in a timely manner, showing a bit of a smile, "Mr. Douglas."

Douglas?

Tang En was slightly taken aback, and when he looked back, he saw Catherine Zeta Jones' husband——Michael Douglas at the door.

"I am sorry for disturbing you?"

"Haha, it's okay."

Tang En suppressed his anger, looked at Michael Douglas, who was almost sixty years old, and thought of the glamorous Catherine Zeta Jones just now, and felt like flowers were planted on cow dung.

No way, who told the Douglas family to have great influence in Hollywood?

For a female star, being able to enter such a big family will be of great help to her life and career. As for the age gap of 25 years, who cares?

"Mike, I think you made a mistake? Today is not an audition for a male lead, not to mention... "Chicago" is a musical, and your age is not appropriate."

Tang En was dissatisfied, so he didn't give the other party face, and directly pointed out his shortcomings of being too old.

But for old couples and young wives, Michael Douglas has long been used to this kind of joke, and said with a smile: "I'm not doing it for the male lead, hehe, I just don't have a job today, so I'll accompany my wife, come and have a look."

The corner of Tang En's mouth twitched slightly, and he nodded, "Okay, I won't bother you guys anymore, I'll go upstairs and get ready."

Rachel Weisz left with Tang En.

As soon as he walked out of the room, Tang En's face darkened instantly, and he shouted angrily: "Old thing!"

Rachel Weisz pursed her lips tightly, and said hesitantly: "Mr. Douglas... probably wants to use the influence of the family to help Catherine win this role. I heard that he always appeared in person in the past, and Talk to the producers, get her the part."

"The influence of the family?" Tang En was rather disdainful, and snorted coldly, "I'm afraid it's more than that!"

Rachel Weisz hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Old couple, young wife, he must be extra careful, and your reputation... Actually, Catherine and I have complained many times, and she doesn't like Mr. Douglas. Surveillance practice."

Tang En said coldly: "He was always very vigilant when he was on the crew of "Drug Net", and now he is playing with me in "Chicago". Really think this little trick can deal with me? In the whole of Hollywood, only I don't want to fuck, but there is no woman I can't eat!"

Rachel Weisz obviously heard the deep meaning of Tang En's words, and asked tentatively: "Tang En, are you...interested in her?"

"Um?"

Tang En glanced at her.

Rachel Weisz shook her head, and said slowly: "We have known each other for many years, and I know her very well. She is... very high-spirited and very realistic. When she married an old man, she just saw the Douglas family The benefits that her contacts can bring her. I don't believe that she will really fall in love with an old man who is two rounds older than her."

"Advantages?" Tang En narrowed his eyes slightly, "Hehe, can't my network be better than the Douglas family? How many years has she been in Hollywood, has she won any awards? My "Chicago" is a real The award-winning film!"

"Award-winning film?" Rachel Weisz's eyes lit up, "Oscar?"

"certainly!"

Rachel Weisz took a deep breath. Of course, she had high expectations for the Oscars, but when it came to her qualifications in Hollywood, she was still too young, and the Oscars were still too early for her.

But it's different for Catherine Zeta Jones, this is her biggest expectation at the moment!

"If I can get your guarantee, I think... Catherine will definitely not refuse."

Rachel Weisz turned her head and looked into Tang En's eyes.

Tang En pondered for a moment, then calmed down, "If I really had an idea, I would have taken her down during the filming of "Drug Net"! After all, I am a married woman, and I have no intention of destroying other people's families."

Speaking of it, Michael Douglas didn't have much conflict with him, it was just that he was more defensive.

Although Catherine Zeta Jones was beautiful, stunning, wild, and enchanting, Tang En would not offend the Douglas family for a woman who had nothing to do with her.
