There are three candidates for the heroine "Maggie".

In addition to Hillary Swank, there are Sandra Brock and Ashley Judd.

The former is a contracted artist from a small agency. If Johnson is not a wide-ranging connection, it will be difficult to even find the company name. The latter two are contracted artists from Caa.

Of course, Caa is the most resource-first agency in Hollywood, and has many actors under its umbrella. The two of them are just that. They barely hang out and they are given up early without even the value of being praised.

I have been in the industry for so long and haven't become famous yet, but it's much better than those pure newcomers who have not yet realized their dreams of being an actor.

This person needs to be compared. If this person doesn’t compare, how can you know that he is actually okay?

For the sake of a star dream, there are so many people who have succeeded, and a few have made a fortune.

Now I finally got the opportunity. I said that it was director Lehman's new film to choose the heroine. This kind of good thing fell on these three people for no reason. I was happy and treated it with all my might.

It was just after noon and it was not yet a minute, not to mention that the audition time was scheduled at 3:00 in the afternoon, and everyone was all in the room.

Three actresses, you look at me, I look at you, sitting in the lounge, staring at you.

They all knew very well that there was only one opportunity, so weren’t the rest of the competitors?

It's a pity that it's not that simple.

......

This is the first time Rodrian Pictures has been so lively since it changed its name to Firefly Pictures.

Early in the morning, Johnson first brought several boxing coaches and nutritional care to the company, and then several actresses who were about to audition also came, each with their agents.

It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that Lehman stepped into the company on time.

Last night, he stayed up late to conceive a storyboard, so he got up very late.

"How is it? Are everyone here?" Lehman asked.

"Everything is in the lounge," Johnson replied.

Lehman nodded and took Thomas and Johnson to the place where the actor stayed.

His eyes swept across the three of them, and not to mention anything else, his image was very consistent.

The facial lines are very tough.

The actors Johnson looked for were pretty good.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lehman." He said first.

"Hello director."

The three actresses stood up one after another and responded politely.

"Then it happens. You guys prepare it and try a separate mirror later."

After saying that, he went out to sit in the compartment.

A few minutes later, the first person to enter the door was Hillary Swank.

Lehmann was not in a hurry to let her perform, but asked a few questions.

"Have you ever been involved in boxing?"

"No." The girl shook her head subconsciously.

"How much do you weigh now?"

“57 kg.”

"Willing to gain muscle?"

"willing."

"Add ten kilograms?"

“Yes, I can accept it.”

The lightweight is only 61.29 kg, but Lehman wants the boxer to look like he can reach the middleweight figure, which will look more intuitive and the effect of punching will be better.

"Then you go out first."

Hillary Swank pushed open the door to the audition compartment with confusion.

The other two who were waiting for the audition saw that she came out so quickly, and their faces were not good-looking. They thought they had one less competitor, so they almost laughed out loud.

"Next."

Firefly staff spoke.

Sandra Brock took a few deep breaths, adjusted his condition, opened the door of the lounge, and walked towards the side with great strides.

In the audition room that was temporarily created, Lehman, Johnson and Thomas were discussing the candidate just now, and there was a representative from the Actors Union listening and not daring to interrupt. He just came over to testify, and his voice was almost zero. Unless someone was treated unfairly and those actors who paid membership fees were qualified to take care of it.

"I have a good image, but I have lost a little bit." Lehman said first.

"According to the union data, she won the Oscar for the Best Actress," Thomas continued, flipping the documents: "And she is willing to gain muscle, and she is still some time before shooting, so you can try it."

"Johnson, what do you think?" Lehman asked.

"I have a foundation in acting, but I have never been involved in boxing and have no acting experience in related roles. Let's take a look." As a caa person, of course he wanted to choose a caa actor, but he didn't interfere with decisions in this regard. He is a smart person, and Lehman is very independent. He said something like he didn't say it, which was very pleasing.

Next, it's Sandra Brock's turn.

Lehman asked a similar question, but this person has a very good figure and is a bit prominent. He always doesn't look like a boxer. He can't say that those who have been trained for a long time seem to have to break free from the constraints in that place. Besides, when boxing with the ball, he always feels that the picture is too inconsistent.

Her weight barely reached the lightweight level, just increase her muscles a little, but it was much worse than the previous one, but Lehman was willing to give her another chance.

Similarly, Ashley Judd is similar, and his figure, image and other things are not bad for the three of them.

Lehman called the three girls together and made a direct request, "I guess you all just guessed this movie, and the template for the heroine is a boxer."

"There will be two weeks to train you. I have a boxing coach and nutritionist here. They will be responsible for tutoring you for a while and lifting your weight and muscles."

"When the time comes, we will determine the candidate."

In this way, the three of them left Firefly Pictures in a confused manner, and they didn't even find the script, let alone know what the story is about.

However, the only thing they can know is that there is still a competition between them, which is a standard that concerns casting.

Lehman really attaches great importance to this movie. It’s not how much money this movie can make, but that he simply likes this kind of subject matter.

After returning home in the evening, I began to conceive the storyboard script of "Million Dollar Baby".

The movie design this time is different from the previous ones. Because it is a period drama, Lehman plans to be more retro, and the lens effect should be highlighted with a dark yellow.

Then when "Maggie" hurts her spine, the light and shadow become more depressing, but the color needs to be brighter, forming a certain contrast.

In addition to these thoughts, Lehmann thought a lot.

It also added a failed scene to Jerry Boyd, which was not as smooth as the original work, and then came to an abrupt end.

It looks more layered and makes the topic "What's the use of hard work?" become heavier.

It is similar to giving hope, being frustrated, catching up, falling into the abyss, cheering up, and making a firm choice.

It was late at night, and after drawing the last set of scenes, Lehman stretched and was about to go to bed to rest.
