Hollywood What If Chapter 18
Ed Helms. The man in front of him was a famous edian actor, his face was reizable.
But right now, Ed Helms was still a young actor and didn't have much experience. He looked nervous and moved awkwardly... Whiplemehe role of Napoleon.
Kazir grinned slightly. But first, Kazir called her makeup artist, Jane.
"Jane, you make his hair curly blonde and bobbed?"
"Give me a few minutes, I'll adjust his look."
Ed Helms was fused. But he agreed to let the woman touch his hair. Sihe director was ied to see his appearan curly hair. Ed Helms uood that he had passed the first stage of the audition.
When Kazir saw Ed Helms' appeara looked exactly like what he had written down.
But something was missing.
"Wear those gsses."
Ed Helms with gsses, curly bob hair... Immacute. This is Napoleon Dynamite.
As for the ag, Kazir didn't need great ag. All the time he watched Napoleon Dynamite in his past life, he could tell that most of the actors were amateurs. They could not act at all. That was exactly what Kazir needed.
"I just need ohing, Ed, just say 'idiot' like you're eating your words."
"Just give me a few seds, Director."
"Hm." Kazir nodded.
"Idiot!"
"Then say it with ahis time, but you still have to eat your words."
"Idiot!"
"Say freaking idiot."
"Freaking idiot!"
He looked like an idiht now.
Ed Helms was sweating. He felt like the director was making fun of him. There was no real script, he just kept saying idiot. Why?
'Napoleon said 'idiot' more than five times in the whole movie.'
Kazir leased with Ed's audition. As for his ag ability, Kazir needed an amateur actor.
"Ed, before we finish this audition. I want to tell you something. You uand that this movie has a small budget and we 't give you a big sary."
"Yes, I uand very well."
Ed Helms became nervous. Seeing the way the director talked, he could uand that his ces of getting the role of the protagonist were high. At least the director was ied in casting him.
"I will accept any amount as long as I get the male lead." He was serious. Deadly serious.
It was already a blessing for a small actor like him to get the male lead, of course Ed Helms had to take it.
"That's good to hear. Do you have a?"
"Yes, director. I signed with William Morris Agency."
Hearing that particur talent agency made Kazir remember something, but he didn't care.
" you dance?"
"A little..." Ed Helms tilted his head.
"tact yent, but tell him I will never accept a big sary."
"Yes! I will, director!"
Ed Helms delightedly left the audition room and immediately tacted his agent.
"Are you sure you want to hire him? We haven't seeher actors yet?" Renner asked Kazir after Ed Helms had left.
"Don't worry. He fits the part."
As a person from the future, Kazir khat Ed Helms had taken on many roles in edy films. That fact alone showed that Ed Helms had talent in that area.
'I would rather cast an amateur edian than an unknown actor. At least I know that Ed Helms has a bright future.'
They tio accept actors and actresses to fill the roles. In the end, it took three days to finalize the roles.
Ed Helms and his ageiated and Ed Helms signed a sary of 15 thousand dolrs. As for the other actors, they also receive a smaller amount. Of course, the crew would take care of all their needs, such as food and hotel reservations.
"Find a cheap hotel in Idaho. You know we 't spend too much, it's the ior's money".
Actually, his brother's.
"Don't worry, I will tact the hotels," Renner assured him.
Kazir and his crew flew to Idaho with the cast to begin shooting. His crew sisted of only 20 people, five of whom were interns making their way to Hollywood. He was actually happy to have free bor.
Sihe budget came from his brother, Kazir spent it seriously.
The location of Idaho...
Kazir and the others didn't have time to appreciate the local sery. After cheg into the hotel, Kazir immediately prepared the cameras and film.
"This is our opening credits? We are going to write their names on food?"
Renner and Harold asked him just to be sure.
"That's right, we call it a day when we're done. While the actors are adjusting, we will film."
Unfortunately, since Ed Helms was the protagonist, he didn't have time to rest. He was the one who put the food oable, his hands to be exact.
Harold was in charge of props, so he started preparing the dishes and writing names on them.
Sandwiapoleon put it oable, chebsp;
Quesadil with words written by Mustard, check.
Steak, and so on.
Those opening credits were memorable. Because, of course, they were food, not subtle subtitles, as in most movies.
Fortunately for Ed Helms, he didn't have to act the first day. All he did ut food oable while the camera shot from a high angle, looking down at the subjebsp;
"Cut! dish!"
Except for preparing the dishes and writing the words ohe process of filming was fast. At least on the first day, they had already shot three minutes of footage. Those three minutes made up the first part of the movie, the opening credits.
