"Thank you, thank you Debbie for the performance, Ms. Burton, you have a very cute daughter." After tapping twice, Adrian said to the little girl's mother and made a "may leave" Gesture.

The mother immediately took her daughter away and faintly heard the little girl asking if her mother was successful. Adrian shook his head slightly, and listened to other people's opinions calmly. After that, they waved their hands to let the next candidate come in.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen." The little girl who came in gave a slight bow to everyone, bright blonde hair, a pair of big pale blue eyes, and the dimples on her face, plus the dress on her body, big The pink t-shirts that most little girls like are very beautiful and cute.

"I'm Hannah Dakota Fanning. I'm just 6 years old from Georgia. Although I don't have much acting experience, I believe I will be a good actor." She put her hands behind her back, I am generously introducing myself without any sense of field fright, but many people are surprised.

You know, many children are still in the stage of imitation and discovery at the age of six or seven. It is difficult to clearly express the meaning to be expressed in organized language, even if she recites it. It can be said that it is so fluent that there is no other expression at all, which is also quite difficult.

Adrian smiled slightly. "Hello, Hannah, the script should be familiar, so let's get started."

He pointed to the small camera next to him, and the little girl performed as she faced the camera. This part of the play is not long, because the eldest daughter is leaving home to find her father, and her mother is an unconscious patient, so she has to temporarily teach her brother and sister to learn to use shotguns to protect themselves. Of course, she won't get a gun to let her make a gesture here, just a few conversations. The key is whether the little actor can catch that feeling.

Frankly speaking, Hannah's performance can only be said to be quite satisfactory, and it is not particularly outstanding, but considering that some of the final candidates, other children have more or less guest appearances in some TV series, she is still pretty good.

"Good, thank you for the performance, Hannah, can I ask you a few questions?" After her performance, Adrian did so, and then glanced at her mother next to her, "It must be you Come and answer. "

Hesitating, the little girl nodded: "Okay, sir."

"So," Adrian gestured. "Please tell me, Hannah, why do you want to be an actor."

Hannah didn't speak, bit her lip and thought carefully before she said slowly: "I'm sorry, sir, I can't give a specific reason-but I really like acting, and my parents also Both support me. Last year I and—Mr. Ray Charles shot an ad in Georgia, and then almost—6 weeks ago, my parents and I went to Los Angeles to shoot an ad for Tide, and then Mom and Dad decided to move When they came to Los Angeles, they thought that it would give me more opportunities, and then they met my current agent, Mr. Mark Briggs. He also thought so, so I believe I would be a great actor. "

Although it is a bit verbose and there are several pauses in the middle, it is very good for a 6-year-old child, and he has never looked back at his mother. It is indeed the precocious little girl in memory. However, when he heard the name of Mark Briggs, Adrian glanced at casting director Carlos Pike, who was not far away, who sat upright as if he hadn't heard anything.

"Thank you for your answer, Hannah, you are excellent." Adrian clapped his hands again to encourage him, "The second and final question. Your hair color and eye color are different from what we asked, so if you get With this role, we have to dye your hair and change the color of your eyes with the method of wearing a pupil. This is likely to hurt your hair and your eyes. Are you still willing to play this role? "

The little girl bit her lip again, but this time she thought much less than the last time: "Yes."

"Oh?" Adrian raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"I have an aunt who works as a broadcaster at espn. She told me that impressive performances need to be sacrificed." She said softly, without a pause, and did not look back. Own mother. Then she smiled, her eyes a little sly: "And I believe the crew can help me avoid these injuries."

What a ghost elf. Adrian suddenly laughed, clapping again.

"You have a very good daughter, Ms. Arlington." He immediately got up and stretched out his hand to Hannah's mother. Although she didn't make a clear statement, she knew it had never happened before, and nothing unexpected happened. This role will be Hannah Dakota Fanning.

Sure enough, most children, especially girls, who can make a name for themselves in Hollywood are precocious. Hannah Dakota Fanning did the same, as did Litton Meister. Adrian clearly remembers that this young girl who played with herself in order to get the role in "," faced her appearance while participating in the audition of "Very Little Agent", he deliberately clicked when chatting in private. After the other person said, who knew she looked at it freely.

"Yes, I did deceive you, Mr. Adrian, but I think you should have investigated my family. For a girl like me, what else can I do?" Although there are still some traces of performance-Litton obviously underestimates Adrian's observation power-half of them are from the heart.

In the face of such a girl, Adrian didn't say much, but she didn't let it go. She squeezed her face lightly: "You are a beautiful, smart girl."

Of course, there is a difference between Litton's precocity and Dakota's precocity. Litton's precocity has a different life experience from ordinary people, so she has to shoulder the responsibilities that were not hers prematurely, and then sharpen them out. Dakota is inherently sensitive to imitation and performance. This is a gift, like ... Natalie. This talent is both a good and a bad thing. Taking full advantage of this feature will make her a great actor, but this is Hollywood!

Well, this is the future, and the future will come later. As of now, Adrian is glad to get a future star at this time. For at least the next five or six years, Hannah Dakota Fanning will be very valuable, letting her act as her youngest daughter in "Bone in Winter" and then signing up for it is definitely a worthwhile investment.

"Honestly tell me, Carlos, how much does Mark give you?" After the audition, Adrian grabbed the casting director and asked with a smile.

"No benefit at all, I promise, Ed," Carlos Parker quickly raised his hands. "Mark kept asking me to recommend that little girl, and I was tangled around me almost every day. I can't call the police, right? But this is called Hannah's little girl is really nice, isn't she? Don't tell me, you don't think so. "

"You passed." Adrian smiled and patted his shoulder.

Mark Briggs is an agent at their agent company, known for being good at finding actors, so it's no surprise that he signed Dakota. Brokers generally have a wide network of contacts, and professional brokers who can't build a network will be eliminated sooner or later—Why is Lin Xilei willing? She couldn't do this without his support. The wider the network, the more opportunities for the actor in hand, such as Briggs holding Pike to get a chance, Hollywood is performing everywhere.

However, compared with other brokerage companies and film and television production companies, the relationship between the brokerage company and the media is undoubtedly closer, so they have more opportunities, and their agents are more bold in recommending actors. It is because of this advantage that Michael Ovits has annexed many small brokerage companies, and may have left behind with Uta.

Adrian and Claude would be inconvenient to support directly if it was not blocked by several other brokerage companies. In addition, Owitz is also worried about affecting his current position, and maybe r will be annexed.

In short, this is a more perfect industry chain. Broker companies find newcomers, and then more easily recommend them to film and television production companies. After being promoted by the media, they become more attractive after becoming famous. Hannah Dakota Fanning is not the first future star to fall into the hands of Adrian through this industry chain, nor will it be the last.

On March 2, 2000, "Bone in Winter" was officially launched on the outskirts of Kansas City, Missouri. Unless special circumstances, no regular crew will actually go to those remote towns to shoot.

There is no media to pay attention to the new movie directed by Miracle Director. At his position, if you want to cover up these things for a while, it is very easy, not to mention that the investment of this movie is not large, and the startup and operation are naturally not large. Moreover, the media's attention is now on Oscars.

Although the best-finished films this year are not as powerful as "Schindler's List" or "Forrest Gump" and "Saving Soldier Ryan", only "American Beauty" has enough topics and "The Beauty of Sicily" Although Legend is also good, it is too far away from American life. Even so, Oscar is the biggest event in the American film industry after all, and there are still countless media rushing to report and speculate.

Who is most likely to get the best movie? Who will be the best director? Who is most likely the winner of the best actor and heroine? Especially for the best actress, Nicole is in the limelight. In addition to the gimmick "After leaving Cruise, she shines", Cruise has a nomination for Best Supporting Actor. I can see them meeting on the red carpet or on the stage.

Although Monica is behind Nicole, she also receives a lot of attention. With Adrian behind the scenes support, many people are still optimistic about her. However, some people think that Hillary Swank is likely to be upset. Her performance is the biggest highlight of the film "Boys Don't Cry." Without him, this movie would only be a second-rate work.

Even so, the discussion was not as fierce as the previous one. After all, two Miracle Girls were nominated last year, and both were directed by Adrian. Although many people have speculated that Nicole has some connection with Adrian, and people in the circle are even more aware that Nicole and Cruise have been involved in the divorce case, even the tabloids known for their publicity can only play sideball. Not to mention others.

Adrian also read a lot of related reports. Weinstein's news was also conveyed at any time. Although there was still some reassurance, as soon as the film was shot, all attention was turned over.

"Okay guys, now you guys, let's get started." After communicating with everyone in turn, Adrian clapped his hands and shouted loudly.

The whole crew immediately started to operate. For the first time, he chose some life clips to let everyone warm up and feel.

"Your mood should be restrained, Natalie, this life has passed for several years. Irresponsible fathers, unconscious mothers, ignorant brothers and sisters, all bear on you. No matter how tough you are, numbness still remains. It will be written on your face, understand? "After two or three shots, I ng a few times while shooting breakfast, so Adrian said to Natalie.

"So then, I'm basically serious, and then convey my emotions with some subtle expressions." Natalie said after thinking about it.

"You can try, but you have to be serious," Adrian nodded.

When candid, Natalie's performance was still good. I roughly understood that Adrian planned to do her homework. Not only did she quickly enter the role, she even spoke with a Missouri rural accent. Adrian Those just raised are just minor issues.

In fact, in a sense, Ray Dolly and Matilda have many similarities. They have encountered major personal accidents. They can only be carried on their shoulders, and everyone who cares about them, Struggling hard in life. The words that Natalie summed up when reading the script can be regarded as their consistent characteristics: like a weed, humble but tenacious.

The difference is that Matilda's experience is short but intense and full of conflict. Dolly's life is calm and steady, like a pool of standing water, and the waves will not splash until the stones fall. The two characters have to face differently, the stories that happen naturally are different, and the reactions they produce are also different. However, this similarity is enough for Natalie to grasp the character's characteristics, and the slightly thin appearance is also very suitable. In addition, there are more than two months to reach 19 years old, and this character can be regarded as her Tailored.

"By the way, it can be regarded as a memory." Adrian said in his heart watching Natalie, who was preparing to wear a down jacket.

As for the other two children, they also performed very well. The boy was directly ignored by Adrian, while Dakota, bouncing very flat, Georgia and Missouri are not far apart, and their roles are relatively simple. She has no difficulty interpreting her image. To be honest, if it wasn't for Natalie's protagonist, she could keep the blond hair, but it doesn't matter. Her hair is not long, and wearing a dark wig is not difficult. As for the eye color, as long as it is not close You do n’t need to worry about the close-up and close-up shots. Even if you have them, you can deal with them later. The hair dyeing and the wearing of the pupils during the audition are just trials.

"Our family are members of the Baptist Church!" During the shooting, in one or two shots, the radio came to the Baptist for fundraising activities, and the little girl told Adrian so proudly.

"Really? What a surprise." Adrian admired, he didn't feel much about the religion of the Dakota family, he just wanted to talk to the little girl. Religious influence in Hollywood, which is fascinated by gold, is definitely not as great as inland, even if the Southern Baptist Church is the largest Protestant denomination in the United States.

"By the way, Hannah, have you ever thought of your stage name?" Adrian suddenly asked.

"A stage name?" Dakota looked up, blinking cute.

"Yes, just like Natalie has a stage name, she used her grandmother's last name as her actor's last name, which saved her a lot of trouble. When she was studying at Harvard University, many letters sent to her failed Now, there are more than one girl named Natalie in college, "Adrian said with a smile, and then looked at Natalie next to her." Is that, Natalie? "

"Adrian is right," Natalie, who dropped the script, smiled slightly, not seeing any other emotions. "You can try to get one, Hannah."

"Um ..." Dakota tilted his head for a long while, "Ed help think about it, you must be very experienced."

"Well," Adrian deliberately pondered. "It's better to use the middle and last name ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ with your parents or friends in private. Are you Hannah Fanning when you are an actor That's Dakota Fanning, how about it? "

The little girl read it several times, and then smiled brightly: "I like it, thank you, Ed, I want to tell my mother to go."

Talking, she ran away quickly, and after seeing her happily talking to her mother, Adrian only recovered her gaze, then glanced sideways, and the script in Natalie's hand suddenly lifted up again. Lift.

She probably thought she was working on another idea. Really ... Adrian shook his head slightly with a smile, and then greeted the associate director to prepare for the next shot.

For three consecutive days, the crew's progress was pretty good, without too much ng, and without external interference. However, most of the shots can only be warmed up, such as Dolly cutting potatoes for breakfast, combing hair for unconscious mothers, or teaching siblings to spell words. The only problem is the splitting of the material. Natalie's petite appearance, every time you lift the axe above your head, you can involuntarily pinch a sweat. Moreover, chopping wood is also a technical job. After several times, Natalie was so tired that she could not breathe.

Then we will start shooting some difficult shots.
