John seemed much more cautious.
He didn't want to offend David Permut, but he also didn't want to annoy John Woo who helped him in becoming famous. He just nodded calmly. "Okay, let's move on to the next person. Time is running out."
David Permut spoke directly to Lawrence with a hint of approval in his eyes. The latter nodded excitedly, threw the prop gun aside, and walked forward?
There was a flash of disappointment in their eyes. John Woo and Terence Chang looked at each other and saw a litle disappointment in each other's eyes, not to mention his acting skills for the time being.
Martin Lawrence's height is indeed a flaw, but he has not even shown better flexibility and is only concerned with trying to look cool and handsome with his sloppy movements.
The research on this character is only superficial, and the movements are not very smooth, so it can only be considered qualified.
If it wasn't for special reasons that the producers asked to use him, John Woo would have reluctantly agreed.
But now someone has mentioned it to him, even a clay Buddha would have some temper, not to mention him, a big director in the East who has always held the power of life and death over the crew.
Turning his head, he glanced at Rowan who was watching on the other side, and found that the young man in warrior outfit had a bit of disdain on his face. John Woo couldn't help but feel a little curious and had some
expectations for Rowan's performance
Steady foot steps came from outside, the lights dimly lit, and the sound of clattering glass suddenly spread. Several tall figures suddenly gathered from all directions, and swift footsteps continued to surge.
Rowan's smiling face suddenly became extremely cold. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He turned his head and glanced at the surveillance camera behind him. He waved at the empty place and rushed towards the direction where the sound came from at an extremely fast speed.
He climbed the tall stairs in two quick steps. His neat and swift movements made John Woo in front of the camera's eyes light up.
Seeing the enemy appear, there was no expression on Rowan's face, only a hint of ferocious murderous intent in the corners of his eyes. He pulled out a pistol from his back as fast as lightning, and with his steady and powerful hands, he quickly changed the direction of the shooting while pulling the trigger.
A few precise shots landed exactly at the location where the rope fell. Nicolas Cage, who was watching from behind, exclaimed "Huh" and stood up involuntarily, ignoring them Rowan jumped back down the stairs because there were too many enemies.
Everyone was stunned at first, and then opened their mouths involuntarily. Although the staircase was only more than 10 steps high and was a model made of resin, it was three meters high. Even some stuntmen don't dare to jump without any protective measures, let alone end with a cool tumbling move like Rowan.
And this is not over yet. After rolling on the ground, Rowan propped himself up with one hand. Suddenly, a gunshot was heard in the distance. His whole body shook slightly as if he was shot. The black muzzle of the gun was instantly aimed at the direction of the attack.
He rushed to the other side, grabbed the doll on the sofa, then dodged with few standard
movements, turned around from time to time and pulled the trigger accurately, and finally protected the doll in his arms and directly smashed the glass window made of model props..
After a few rolls, he rushed to Nicolas Cage, covered his abdomen with his trembling left hand, and a trace of reluctance and sadness flashed in his eyes. After he finished speaking, he handed it to Nicolas Cage and
whispered, "Let's go!"
Then he turned around and fired several shots at the broken glass. Finally, his whole body shook violently and he fell to the ground with a "bang".
Rowan felt the silence in the entire audition room. Although his arm was a little painful due to the collision just now, Rowan couId clearly feel that it was just a minor injury.
His thick muscles firmly protected his bones, and with the experience of Al Simmons, he knew how to reduce the cushioning force, not to mention the slowly flowing heat in his body.
Nicolas Cage hugged the doll tightly, with a hint of disbelief still flickering on his face. He turned his head and looked at John, who was also stunned. He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Did we just see Batman?"
John rolled his eyes, looked at Rowan lying on the ground motionless, and said unhappily: "How can this be Batman? lt's obviously Spider-Man,okay? How can his movements be so flexible? Why do I feel so clumsy?"
"Good! Very good! This is the gold medal fighter I want!"
His action acting skills were as high as 80 points, reaching the special shock level of a first-class star. Coupled with Rowan's strong Physical fitness, the amazing effect he displayed made everyone watching on the scene sigh in admiration.
John Woo seemed very excited, and even clenched his fists and waved them continuously. Rowan, who was lying on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief, slowly stood up, and still stood motionless by the side.
It is not difficult to see the joy on John Woo's face. This is a great director who loves movies so much.
Crisp footsteps came from behind. David Permut frowned and looked at the expressionless Rowan, feeling a little tricky.
In terms of acting skillls, the two seem to be on par with each other, but whether it's in terms of figure, temperament, or a series of actions, Rowan is miles ahead of Martin Lawrence.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Rowan's amazing action skills, coupled with his neat and nimble skills and his speciaI temperament in the use of pistols, all give people a sense of rationality and beauty that
should be the case.
Thinking of this, David Permut couldn't help but be silent. As the producer of "Face/Off" and also the person in charge of this project at Paramount, no matter what the considerations are, the success of "Face/Off" is the most important.
If this project, which has recently received additional funding and has a total investment of $80 million, fails, not only will John Woo and the leading actor suffer, but he, the producer, will also not have an easy
time.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, turned his head and looked at Martin Lawrence who was a little dazed. He couldn't help but turn his head towards John Woo and quietly said
"This role is a good choice. Let's modify it according to your plan! I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future!"
With a bright smile on his face, as if nothing had happened, John Woo nodded and said softly: "Everything is for "Face Off". In this case, I will start the preparations."
Rowan on the other side was moved. He couldn't help but feel shocked by David Permut's rapid transformation. At the same time, he also understood more clearly that these people who climbed to the top of the eight major Hollywood film companies were definitely not easy to deal with.
Seeing David Permut turning his head, Rowan also forced a gentle smile on his face. With his currrent fame and status, he had to be careful not to offend such a big shot.
Nodding secretly, David Permut glanced at Rowan and turned to leave, while Martin Lawrence followed him in a daze.
It was not until the sound of the door closing did Terence Chang came back to his senses. He looked at Rowan, who was not surprised by the praise or criticism, and couldn't help laughing.
He walked over and patted Rowan on the shoulder, then pointed at Nicolas Cage and John Travolta, who were also tall, and said:
"Come, these are your two bosses in the crew, say hello to them! His name is Rowan Stark, and he is the "gold medal fighter" for you two."
Rowan immediately showed his excitement, walked over before the two of them, and said excitedly "Hello, brothers, just call me Rowan, I have always been a fan of the two of you, can you sign an autograph for me
later?"
Nicolas Cage is 33 years old this year. He is handsome and has successful career which makes him look very high-spirited. However, this Oscar-winning actor has a very good temper. He handed the doll to Rowan with a smile and said in an amazed tone: "No need for autographs. We will have many opportunities to take photos together later. And what type of martial arts did you use? Is it Kung Fu, Krav Maga or Karate? You looked really cool."
It felt good to be praised. Even though John was already over 40 years old, he still smiled happily. He patted Rowan on the shoulder and said, "Very good guy. I look forward to your joining us."
"Okay, go sign the contract with your agent first. Just follow what we agreed on. Don't think 50,000 US dollars is too little."
