Reborn to Dominate Hollywood

After a week of preparation and deciding what part of the film to handle, including a long meeting with the crew, they began the audition process.

When the audition started temporarily, the crew had already divided the tasks and had the mentality of "Best Picture of the Year".

After recruiting engineers to make the Batmobile, and recruiting all the necessary workers to make other things, they set out to make all the props and background necessities for the film.

Ian, on the other hand, hasn't forgotten about background music. Once again, he handed over the project to SS Studios to do some soundtracks for the film.

Just like Sebastian, Henri Renner's friend said that after editing the film, the music, everything can be edited well, providing the film with a good execution.

Ian did agree, but also told him to start working on the themes he thought would be appropriate for the film.

Ian Renner himself is busy hiring actors.

He often receives video calls from managers and workers who have already started working.

"Oh, Murphy, at 10 o'clock, please all show up," Ian was scheduling an audition date.

"Yes, sir. Anything else?"

"Well, there's nothing now, can you-" Ian received another video call. This is the fifth one for today.

"Check the A-list actors we're sending the script to, I mean, don't force or anything, just check if they get the message, thanks," Ian said to Murphy, focusing on the guy on screen.

"Sir, the color of this material?"

Because Ian wants the perfect prop, he asks everyone to make sure they get his permission before buying anything. This is because something is created and then discarded due to an inappropriate color or something like that, which can cost him a lot.

"yes, maybe something darker?"

"Wait a minute," the short-haired guy has been looking for a color to fit Batman's outfit since the first day Ian met him. Because of the big project, the commission he should have received was also very large. Therefore, he knew that he had to do his job perfectly.

"How's this?"

"Looks perfect," Ian said, and immediately hung up.

He then focused his attention on the cast in front of him that he wanted.

The list has a lot of characters, including Bruce Wayne, Batman, Alfred Ducard, Rachel Dawes, Dr. Jim Gordon, Jonathan Klein, Carmin Farr, Al Gul of Corneel Russ... There's more.

Looking at the names, he imagined in his mind how they would show the different scenes of the characters.

At different moments, Ian felt that it would be nice to shoot better, with different actors playing those roles. their fame and talent. Ian had moments as a director, and he remembered all the good and bad things about Batman and the actors.

At around 10 a.m. the next day, potential actors in the industry who Ian thought might be a good fit for the role of Batman showed up at Rainer Studios to audition, and since there wouldn't be many actors, they decided to set up the camera to shoot it.

"I swear to God, I've never seen so many top actors in one place, except for two or three parties, but this... I've already felt the depth of the film," cinematographer Nick told him as he prepared in Ian's private office.

"Haha... You're going to meet a lot more people in the near future, and everyone who gets the chance to star in Batman will go to the top, and I'm betting my life, Nick. Ian said.

After being together throughout Ian's journey, they are one step closer to sharing these details. But in Nick's heart, he is still full of respect for this young director. It's all because of how professional and kind Ian is in his eyes.

There are 4 top actors who are A-rated and ready to audition for the role of Batman. They come from different top agencies, and although the script is sent to several actors, only interested people come to audition.

In addition to the top A-list actors, there are also several B-level actors, and it was Ian who felt that they might be suitable for the role and invited them to audition on the set.

After a while, the auditions began, and Ian decided to go for the B-list actor first.

Mark Hyde is a 34-year-old man who is tall and muscular.

He has a pointed nose and green eyes. He looks like a murderous man, not because of his looks, but because of his character.

When Ian first met Mark, he thought his looks were a good fit for the role.

But this audition made him realize that with his personality, Mark couldn't be Batman. But in order to give him a chance, he decided to start auditioning anyway.

He first introduces himself, and Ian has Mark act out a scene.

Mark politely says "yes, sir" and he is ready to face the camera.

Nick has already scheduled the audition process.

Mark stares directly into the camera, while Ian thinks it's a sign he's ready.

"Okay, go on, Mark," Mark

smiled as he looked at the camera.

"Sorry for the break-in, but I was in the area—"

Gemma, Martin, Nico, and the others, who were sitting a few steps away from Ian, read the lines.

"Our boy, we thought you were gone forever,"

"What can I say? Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated," Mark said.

"Can I ask where you've been?" asked Gemma.

"Wait, Mark. Can you smile and focus on it, a little nervous? Your eyes should be on Earl and the camera every now and then, again?" Ian asked.

"Yes sir. Of course

, "What can I say?" the reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated," Mark said with a nervous smile, this time playing the role perfectly.

"You can ask—" Mark as Bruce said mischievously.

"Well, maybe you'll tell us about your plans. Are you coming back to finish college?"

"Actually, I think I'll get an idea of what we're actually doing here. From scratch, one division at a time.

"Okay, that's enough, thanks. Can we try out the character of Batman?" asked Ian.

The audition for Batman's role is divided into two parts, which are Batman and Bruce. Because even Ian felt like they were two different people. Personalities are different, and because of this, Ian wants someone who can bring out the best in both of them because they are both important.

The scene for him to practice is perfect to check if he is able to do it.

Ian gave him a few minutes to prepare so that he could get into the role.

That's when Ian gives Mark a prototype Batman costume, which he asked the costume designer to make.

The mask looks a bit like what Batman would wear, but it's not perfect, just a prototype.

A few minutes later, they are ready and Mark appears in front of the camera again.

"You start," Ian said.

As soon as he said this, he remembered Simon Cowell, but he reminded himself to calm down, because if he asked, "See what I did there?", no one would understand.

The scene shown to him is Batman in Rachel's apartment.

At that moment, Batman placed a folder of photos on Rachel's bed, and Rachel looked down to see a picture of Pheren and the girl in the limousine.

"What the hell is this?" asked Jama as she read Rachel's character lines.

"Leverage," Mark said in a deep tone. Trying to imitate Batman in his mind.

"What am I going to leverage for?" asked Gemma.

"Get things moving," Mark said looking at the floor, like he had imagined in his head, his eyes a little far away, his body facing the camera.

"Who are you?"

"Someone likes you." Someone who will fight corruption

," "Okay, thank you, Mark. We'll let you know," Ian said.

Josephine is a stage assistant who helps Mark take off the fake Batman clothes.

With that, Mark shook Ian's hand and walked out.

"He's doing a good job as Bruce, but he's not Batman. Like I said, we need someone who can do both, not accidentally, like a mix of personalities, because in my opinion, they're different, and that's the fun of watching Bruce turn into Batman and then back into Bruce,

" "Hmm. Martin nodded in agreement.

And just like that, Mark was left out of the list.

After Mark, two or three more actors auditioned, but Ian felt they didn't seem like a good fit for the role.

"He's not going to be Batman," Ian said, drawing a cross in front of James' name.

A moment later, someone came in, which made Ian raise an eyebrow in surprise.

Not Christian Bale, but someone else he didn't expect.

This wasn't Christian Bale, but someone else he didn't expect, it was Steve Carell.

Ian knew that Steve Carell existed in this life because when he was looking for an actor, he met Steve Carell.

To his surprise, Steve Carell auditioned for the role.

Steve Carell, whom Ian met, was an American actor and comedian. He is the man who has gained popularity over the years by starring in hit series, but occasionally works as a producer, writer, and director. In fact, he was recognized as "America's most interesting man" by a magazine called Life. He has starred in famous films and series such as "40 Years Old Virgin", "Almighty Blues", "Crazy Stupid Love", and most famously, "The Office".

But the person in front of him is not like that. Yes, he's an A-list actor, but other than that, he's not as glamorous as Ian knows in his world.

"Hello, Steve

," "Hey, Martin, Ian. Steve said and nodded.

"Let's start with the Bruce scene, are you ready?" Ian asked.

The audition begins with one of the film's opening scenes, where Steve does a great job, but Ian feels that Steve is not Bruce.

Steve Carell looks too old to be Batman.

In fact, Ian compares Steve to Ben Affleck.

In the original trilogy, American actor Ben Affleck played Batman in the last Batman movie, but many fans said he looked too old for the role.

Ian believes that if he were allowed to take on this role, it would have the same result.

So he crossed the name off the list.

As soon as Steve said thank you, Ian left the others and walked out to chat with Steve Carell.

"Hey, wait a minute," Ian said jogging to catch up with Steve.

"Oh, hello, Ian Renner," Steve called his full name.

"Yes, Steve, can we talk?" asked Ian.

Looking at Steve, he realizes how similar his face, nose, mouth, and eyes are to the Steve Carell he knows.

The closer Ian gets, the more he discovers that this guy is a legend from another world.

"Okay, of course. He said.

"Great, follow me,"

Ian said as he walked to the nearest office and closed the door behind him.

"Director, do you have anything to say?" asked Steve.

Ian couldn't understand if he was sarcastic or serious.

He stood tall, leaning against the wall and waiting to hear what Ian had to say.

"Did I get this role?" he asked, without waiting for a second.

"About that, well, no," Ian's face was visibly hesitant.

The main reason why he wants to talk to him privately is because of regret, which is part of the reason.

"Oh, can I see why?" asked Steve. "I mean, there must be a reason for that, right? And do you always look hesitant when you say no to the actors?" asked Steve.

He felt sorry for the director because he seemed hesitant at the moment.

In fact, he doesn't think Ian should be like that.

"You know, yes. I don't usually do that. As for the reason why you didn't get the role, you don't get angry, it's just that you look too old to fit the role," Ian tried to explain the whole reason behind his choice before Steve could argue, "Well, the script follows Batman's journey before becoming a cape fighter. I'm planning a trilogy with Batman that no one knows about except a few. Now it's a secret. It's more about appearance. When the third part comes out, you will even feel that the character is not suitable. Also, you need to do a lot of exercise all the time to stay fit,"

Steve's face visibly relaxed at hearing his words.

He nodded in understanding.

"Yes, I see, that's totally fine. To be honest, I didn't have much hope when I first got the script, but my agent insisted that I at least give it a try," Steve said with a laugh.

"Oh, that's okay. As for why I want to see you here. Well, it's a real collaboration, and I have another film in the works. It's going to be a romantic comedy. And I think you're probably going to like the script, it would be great if you could give it a try," Ian said, with a smile on Steve's face.

"Sounds good, but I've never really been offered to star in many romantic comedies. Even if I did, there was only one movie I'd acted in in the last two years. So you can imagine how many movies of this genre I got," Steve said.

It's true. Steve Carell is actually a famous American actor who has never acted in the comedy genre in his life. But never played a leading role in a romantic comedy.

This is mainly because of his age.

"Well, I haven't finished the script yet, but I really think you should give it a try. I think the right role for you is... It can be said that it is written for you. It won't take much time for the script to get into your hands, I think you should give it a try,

" "Hahaha... Of course, I'll take a look,"

Steve Carell looked incredibly pleased with what Ian said.

He looked happy with a smile on his face, but deep wrinkles.

"I have to go back, hoping to see you again," Ian said.

"Looking forward to it, Ian," Steve said, patting Ian on the shoulder, "Before you go, I have to say you've done a great job with La Land and Home Alone

," "Thank you, Steve." You're going to be the greatest actor in no time" Ian followed Steve out of the office and then went back to audition for actors who thought they had the potential to be Batman.

Walking in, Martin, Gemma, and Nicol all looked at Ian.

"What's going on?" Nick asked, knowing what Ian was doing from the way he looked after he left Steve.

"Nothing, I have a role that can star Steve in my next movie. That's it," Ian said with a smile, noticing the look of shock on Nick's face.

"That's it?" thought Nick silently. It was quick because Ian literally scratched his name off for Batman and gave him a role in another movie that didn't even finish the script.

"It happened, Nick. Don't look so surprised,"

Nick chuckled, knowing that this might be true, especially the director.

After a while, A-list actor Curtis George walked in the door. The man next to Ian greeted him with "hello" and "hello", and he politely returned the salute. A smug smile was faintly visible on his face.

"Have you read the part we sent?" Ian asked.

"Yes," he replied.

"Okay, now now?"

Curtis stood tall and strong, appearing in front of the camera. The first scene is a scene for Bruce, after which Ian will ask for a scene of Batman if necessary.

"Why is it designed like this, Master Wayne?" said Gemma in Alfred's line.

"A person, no matter how strong, no matter how skillful, is only flesh and blood. I need more than just a man. I need to be a symbol.

Curtis narrowed his eyes earnestly, a faint wicked smile on his face.

Upon entering the role, Ian knew he couldn't play Bruce, which was a huge denial for Batman.

"Why the sign of a bat?" asked Gemma.

"Okay," Ian said.

"Bats scare me," Curtis continued, as if he hadn't heard the command, looking at the camera and smiling, "It's time for my enemies to share my fears,

" "Okay." It's okay, we'll let you know the result," Ian said, trying not to appear rude because the person in front of him is a star.

"What? what about Batman?" Curtis said incredulously. "Uh! thank you," he said, shaking his head and walking out.

"I can't believe you did that to him, this guy is so popular!" Nick whispered.

"Didn't you see this guy's show? That's not what we're looking for. Even if he's a star, how can he be Batman if he can't even do it? It's not that we can have two people play two roles at the same time, he can do a supporting role if he wants to, but trust me, no one wants that," Ian said, unable to erase the sneer from his face.

"It makes perfect sense, Ian. You're doing a great job, and no one should get characters based on fame. Seconds

later, when Christian Bale came in, all eyes were on the door.
