The black Chrysler sedan turned from California Coastal Highway 1 into the widened four-lane entrance of Daenerys Studios in Malibu, followed the U-shaped asphalt road to the gate of the studio halfway up the mountain.

Entering the park, an open parking lot first appears on the left side of the main road, extending to the cliff on the south side.

Less than a week after the official opening, the parking lot is already crowded with cars, which shows how busy the studio is.

The destination is the top borough, and Chrysler walks through the busy studio area, and the Hollywood actress Joanna Cassidy looks around curiously in the car. After all, at least since her debut in the late 1960s, Hollywood has never seen such a large-scale studio, but many old studios have been sold and used for other purposes.

Just this, the young man who created all this in just a few years is hard to be surpassed.

Thinking of Simon Westeros, Joanna Cassidy pulled her back and started thinking about her upcoming audition.

Joanna Cassidy came for the role of Queen Hippolyta, the mother of Diana Prince in Wonder Woman.

The casting of the DC Cinematic Universe can be described as the most watched event in Hollywood recently.

According to Hollywood media reports during this time, Daenerys Entertainment first approached Sigourney Weaver for the role.

Sigourney Weaver just gave birth to a baby and plans to take a year off. This was not a big problem at first. The schedule of "Wonder Woman" is 1992, and it will just start shooting next year. However, because Sigourney Weaver refused to sign multiple film contracts, and also demanded a high salary and other additional conditions, Daenerys Entertainment simply chose to give up.

Joanna Cassidy has been in the industry for two decades, and there is no shortage of sources to know that Sigourney Weaver actually wanted the role.

Sigourney Weaver, an actress with a height of 6 feet, has successfully entered the first line with the "Alien" series and "Ghostbusters" series over the years, but because of her height, the play path is actually very narrow. At times, she can only play supporting roles, and the remuneration has not been high. Even a few years ago, "Alien 2", which was completely supported by her own global box office of over 100 million, only took $1 million at that time.

The movie "Wonder Woman" just needs a tall actress. The minimum height standard for Amazonian female warriors released by Daenerys Entertainment needs to be 5 feet 9 inches (175cm), which is suitable for Sigourney. Weaver, though, and the success of Batman: Hour of War and the grand vision of the DC Cinematic Universe is enough to ensure that even a supporting cast of the series can gain popularity.

If she gets the role of Queen Hippolyta, Sigourney Weaver can not only secure her position in Hollywood in the next few years, but also avoid being followed by other actresses of the same type.

However, compared to the past, as long as the first-line stars show their voices, Hollywood studios will definitely be in a state of accommodating. Daenerys Entertainment has shown a kind of more in the casting of the dc movie universe series than in the big studio era. Be strong.

Sigourney Weaver insisted that he would not let go of core conditions such as long-term contracts, and Daenerys Entertainment chose to give up very decisively.

Joanna Cassidy can actually roughly understand why Daenerys Entertainment would do this.

The sequel development of many well-known films in Hollywood was abandoned because the main creative contract could not be negotiated. Some sequel projects that were reluctantly started were often dissipated in popularity due to delays for too long, and eventually led to failure. The DC Cinematic Universe is such a super series that involves multiple films. If the sequel contracts of some actors cannot be negotiated and the delay is caused, the entire Cinematic Universe plan will be implicated.

So, the opportunity fell on second-tier actresses like Joanna Cassidy.

Joanna Cassidy is 45 years old this year. She debuted in the late 1960s. She has also appeared in dozens of various types of film and television dramas over the years. The role of Sora in Leigh Scott's "Blade Runner."

Her agent told her that she got the audition for the role of Queen Hippolyta because a young man admired her for beating Harrison Ford in Blade Runner.

Yep, that's what Wonder Woman casting director Linda Vargas revealed when she approached her agent.

Linda Vargas was originally just an inconspicuous little person in Hollywood, but she was lucky enough to participate in Simon Westeros's first film "Lola Run". She was also a casting director at the time, and was subsequently trusted. He has been the casting director of many Westeros films and is now very popular in Hollywood.

However, Linda Vargas, who is speechless in dealing with people, is very loyal to Simon Westeros, and people who want to get through from her are basically unsuccessful.

That's probably why she became Simon Westeros' casting director.

Joanna Cassidy felt that if it were herself, she would definitely do the same.

The longer you stay in Hollywood, the more you can deeply appreciate how difficult it is to climb up in this circle, and most people don’t necessarily have a chance to rise in their lifetime. Linda Vargas is clearly the type of person who gets an opportunity and clings to it.

It's just that Westeros appreciates that he punched Harrison Ford in Blade Runner.

This... wouldn't be some kind of hint, would it?

that young man's preference for women

, well known throughout Hollywood.

Unconsciously, she had some crooked thoughts, and even had some expectations in her heart. After her first marriage in the 1970s, she has been single. If there is really something to happen to that little man who makes countless women in Hollywood so jealous, it is really an irresistible thing.

With that in mind, Chrysler walked through the office park on the second floor and quickly came to the administrative area on the top floor.

Get off the car in the parking lot and look around, there are several minimalist office buildings surrounded by glass curtain walls. Although the shape of the office buildings varies in height, the overall layout gives a very comfortable sense of order.

I am used to seeing the bungalows or small buildings of traditional studios, so the modern office building of the studio is really refreshing.

Joanna Cassidy walked to the five-story office building on the northernmost side, entered the lobby, and after a brief communication with the receptionist, she was quickly taken to the third floor. Linda Vargas was already waiting for her, and the other two An actress who will also participate in this audition has arrived early.

Everyone greeted warmly on the surface and were taken to the dressing room to make up and change clothes.

The auditions for supporting roles such as Queen Hippolyta are small, and the three of them are the last three candidates and need to audition with makeup.

Arrived at the studio at nine o'clock in the morning and was busy for an hour. Joanna Cassidy and two other actresses finished dressing, and Martin Campbell, the director of "Wonder Woman" who had been publicly confirmed, had arrived, as well as the film's Several other behind-the-scenes creators.

Then it took another half an hour to take pictures, and finally everyone came to an audition room with a blue curtain downstairs.

After waiting for a while, at exactly 11 o'clock, Simon Westeros himself finally appeared and greeted the three actresses in person, and then the audition began.

The three candidate actresses have been carefully selected, and there is no doubt about their basic performance skills. In addition to meeting the three of them in person this time, Simon also wants to see their performance in a virtual environment.

The DC Cinematic Universe series will use a large number of virtual shooting technologies. In order to improve these, a studio has been specially opened in the studio for Daenerys' special effects team to conduct various types of virtual shooting experiments in real time.

Twenty minutes apiece, and Joanna Cassidy happened to be last in line.

Entering the audition room, there were only a few simple chairs in the spacious room except for the blue curtain held up. Westeros and others all stood up politely.

Joanna Cassidy stepped forward and shook hands with the young man, said hello, and the others sat down again.

Simon held a notebook in his hand, without those trivial self-introductions, and said succinctly: "Ms. Cassidy, the plot is like this, Steppenwolf invaded Paradise Island and wants to capture the mother box guarded by the Amazons, Queen Hippolyta. Encounter with Steppenwolf, just a short confrontation and lose quickly, and then you question Steppenwolf's purpose. Note that this is a virtual filming performance, Steppenwolf is 10 feet tall, it is planned to use a combination of cg and motion capture technology to shoot, no one Playing with you, ok, please start your performance."

Completely free to play against the air.

Joanna Cassidy didn't bother to pay attention to the slight quirky ridicule in the tone of the young man's last sentence, quickly brewing emotions, then pulled out the saber from her waist, and slashed a few times to the right hand side, in a blink of an eye, she felt as if she was being attacked. He fell backwards in third place like a heavy blow, barely propped himself up with his sword and said, "Who are you?"

The usual audition is that someone needs to cooperate with the lines.

No one responded this time.

It's just that everyone in the room and the camera in charge of recording are watching her.

Joanna Cassidy is not lacking in this kind of adaptability. Recalling Simon's introduction just now, she matched Steppenwolf's lines in her heart. She paused for a moment, and her face showed a clear and calm anticipation, saying: "Steppenwolf, why did you come to Paradise Island?"

"..."

"Whatever you're looking for, there's nothing you're looking for here."

"..."

In addition to the bad taste of "Please start your show" just now, Simon has been professionally observing Joanna Cassidy's performance since then, and occasionally jots down a few notes in a notebook.

After a period of free play, Simon asked Joanna Cassidy to try a few more shots.

The short twenty minutes passed quickly, and the time came to 12 noon.

Simon closed the notebook, got up again, shook hands with Joanna Cassidy, and said, "Thank you very much for taking the time to come, Ms. Cassidy. By the way, it's already noon, if you're not in a hurry, you can stay. Have lunch before leaving."

When Joanna Cassidy heard Simon's invitation, she smiled and nodded casually: "Of course, thank you."

After he finished speaking, he was taken by the staff to remove his makeup. This time, it was simple. After more than 20 minutes, Joanna Cassidy came to the small restaurant in another office building.

I thought it was a young man who invited me, but I found out that the other two actresses who participated in the audition have also stayed until now, not only Westeros, but Martin Campbell and Linda Vargas. It became a working meal, and everyone was still talking about "Wonder Woman".

Seeing another actress who participated in the audition almost unabashedly chatting with the young man in the center of attention from time to time, with obvious provocation in her words, Joanna Cassidy realized that she was still a little conservative.

Maybe it should be more proactive.

However, since she was taken advantage of by others, although Martin Campbell and others looked like they were turning a blind eye, she still failed to summon up.

courage.

Originally a model, I know that my maintenance over the years has been very successful.

However, it still makes people feel a little uncomfortable to be courteous to a little man who is enough to be his own son.

Thinking of this, I can't help but envy the men in Hollywood. Or, to be precise, the men in power in Hollywood. No matter what kind of woman you like, it is taken for granted to outsiders.

Women do not have this 'privilege'.

Today is Wednesday, May 16th.

Although he did say that he admired Joanna Cassidy's words of beating up Harrison Ford in "Blade Runner", Simon didn't care about the other party, and he had a full day's work schedule. Time Lie Yan, no matter whether the people around him believe it or not, he basically does not think about this kind of workplace.

After lunch with everyone, the three actresses left, and Simon and Martin Campbell discussed the results of the morning audition.

Among the three actresses who participated in the final competition, Joanna Cassidy was originally ranked last, because she was the shortest, and just reached the 175cm Amazon female warrior height limit required by Simon, and the other two actors were taller than Joanna. Cassidy is taller.

However, Joanna Cassidy's acting experience is richer in the end. Although she has never been able to catch fire, she has been honed in Hollywood for 20 years, and even a piece of wood is enough to enlighten her.

So, after re-examining the morning makeup photos and shooting shots, including Simon himself, everyone felt that Joanna Cassidy was more suitable for this role. As for height, you can make up for it with high heels.

Then there was a discussion about the audition arrangements for other roles and some of Martin Campbell's ideas for the film. At three o'clock, it was another role in "Wonder Woman". The audition for Queen Hippolyta Antiope, In the original film, the character was played by Robin Wright.

This time, Simon took a fancy to Linda Hamilton. Hamilton's image of a sturdy female man in "Terminator 2" left a very deep impression on Simon.

However, the team did not fully bet on Linda Hamilton, and it was still three people who participated in the audition.
