Nanaya found that stereotypes were really hard to get rid of.
In fact, although Leonardo Dicaprio at this time was no longer the cute little Jack, it was still a little early for him to COS the photo of Ayame.
But when he saw Leonardo's face, he couldn't help but think of the scene of him running happily on the beach with a water gun.
In fact, Leonardo Dicaprio at this time was no longer considered a young and handsome guy, but his image was not destroyed to that extent.
He was a handsome uncle when he played the role after he had just finished filming "Inception".
As a handsome, wealthy and successful middle-aged man, Leonardo at this time exudes a different kind of charming aura that is completely different from that of young handsome men.
It can be said that Leonardo Dicaprio is indeed a very suitable candidate, both in terms of status and character image.
[When Solomon became Goetia, his body seemed to have gained weight, right? I think the changes in Leo's body shape in the following years are very appropriate. ]
"Senior?"
Seeing that Nanaya was still in a daze, Ori asked in a low voice.
"Nothing, I just wondered if DiCaprio would accept the role."
Nanaya coughed dryly to hide his strange thoughts.
"They won't be unwilling, will they?" Ori replied curiously, "Aren't all the actors on the list interested in cooperating with us?"
"Could it be that Senior thinks the other party will refuse because this role is a commercial role?"
It's no secret that Leonardo Dicaprio loves the Oscars and keeps striving for the Best Actor award.
If it were other actors, they might have concerns because they were afraid of giving the academy a bad impression at this critical moment.
But who is Leonardo Dicaprio?
It's impossible for him, the "king of the world", to care about such things.
Nanaya shook his head and explained, "He just finished filming Inception recently. How could he look down on roles in commercial films?"
What best reflects the influence of a celebrity actor?
Of course, it is to star in well-known commercial films.
Leonardo Dicaprio is not a fool, and he is certainly not the kind of person who would do anything to win an Oscar, even to the point of turning himself into a niche star.
If he loses his influence in the entertainment industry, what will he use to seduce supermodels?
As a man who has been consistently in love with [young and beautiful supermodels] for decades.
How could Leonardo allow himself to disappear from the mainstream circle?
In this respect, Leonardo may be the most infatuated man in Hollywood, because he will always just love that piece of woods.
Even Nanaya felt inferior to him in this respect.
If I have to classify him, Nanaya thinks Leonardo Dicaprio should be the kind of person who has a collecting habit and is a perfectionist.
This is not only reflected in his love philosophy of collecting supermodel girlfriends, but also in his career.
Leonardo Dicaprio is undoubtedly one of the top people in Hollywood now.
Having been so successful, after gaining money, status and fame, he naturally set his sights on the Oscars.
Because Leonardo Dicaprio has already won all the other honors he can, except the Oscar.
The academy thought that Leonardo had "turned over a new leaf" and surrendered to them.
But Nanaya thinks that this is more like Leo getting tired of playing and wanting to find something exciting.
Since the pursuit of an Oscar is the spice of Leo's acting career, he certainly won't refuse the main course.
Everyone knows that from a business and career perspective, the opportunity to star in a big-budget movie is definitely more important than an art film.
What Nanaya was really worried about was that Leonardo DiCaprio refused to play the villain.
Even a top-notch actor like Leonardo Dicaprio can't play just any role.
The higher the level of the actor, the more selective the roles are, and they may even impose many harsh restrictions.
For example, Vin Diesel would request in the film contract that he could only be punched a few times in the movie, and even had detailed requirements on where he should be punched.
The most common requirement of these actors is that they cannot play villain roles.
It's not just Leonardo Dicaprio, people like Tom Cruise and Dwayne Johnson also have such requirements.
Although this requirement seems insignificant to outsiders, some people may even find it confusing.
But for these business superstars, this is deadly serious business.
Because playing villains will make these actors lose their perfect image in the minds of young people.
The commercial losses caused by this cannot be compensated by the salary of a single character.
Unfortunately, Leonardo Dicaprio is currently one of those actors who can't touch villain roles.
Leonardo DiCaprio played a villain for the first time in the 2012 film "Django Unchained".
From then on, the first time is new, the second time is familiar.
The problem is, Nanaya knows that Leonardo playing a villain will not affect his star path, but Leonardo himself doesn't know this.
What if the other party refuses because of these concerns?
"How did that scoundrel Quentin convince old Fatty Lee?"
Looking at the photo of Leonardo whose face was already becoming rounder, Nanaya muttered to himself.
"Why don't we let Lily go and ask first?"
Ori helped his hesitant senior brother come up with an idea.
"Isn't Lily in the same crew as Leonardo Dicaprio now?"
After Ori's reminder, Nanaya remembered that Lily had starred in "Inception".
"That's true. Let Lily take some time to ask about it during the promotion."
Leonardo Dicaprio is quite easy to talk to his work partner and friend, and there is room for easing the situation even if the other party refuses.
"That's it for now. I'll call Lily later."
Nanaya put the roster aside and said to the staff beside him, "Let them come in one by one for the audition."

At the same time, in the lounge next to the audition room, several young actresses were sitting here waiting quietly.
But the actresses didn't sit together and chat.
On the contrary, they both kept a long distance between themselves.
When they occasionally looked up at each other, not only did they not communicate with each other through words or eye contact, but they also showed deep wariness towards each other.
The girls seemed to be worried that the person they were looking at would suddenly attack and hurt them, or turn into a monster that would eat anyone it chose.
Whether it's drinking water or something special.
These girls only let their agents standing next to them do it and avoid contact with anyone other than their agents.
These people are all well aware of how important the audition they are about to face is.
As long as you succeed, a bright future lies ahead.
Although he may not become a huge star, it is inevitable that he will make a name for himself in front of the audience and become a second-tier actor.
If nothing else, think about the Oscars a week ago.
Two Japanese actresses, from obscurity to becoming the most successful actresses of this awards season.
Commercially, the films they starred in set new box office records, making them remembered by movie fans all over the world.
In their careers, they all won the Academy Award for Best Actress and became stars that everyone admires.
Not to mention, the actresses who will be made famous by the director who will audition for them are not just those two Japanese actresses.
Luviagelita Edelfelt, Lily Wettin, Yoshinaga Yukari and many more.
These well-known actresses were all made famous by that director.
Especially after the Oscars, media reporters have given the director a nickname - the director who is best at photographing women.
I have to say this nickname is really very appropriate.
Looking at the list of Oscar winners for Best Director, either their box office results were not as high as this director's, or their ability to portray women was not as good as his.
James Cameron is very talented, and "Titanic" has left its mark in film history.
But the truck driver's preference for women with large frames means that the actresses he photographs may not suit everyone's taste.
But Nanaya Kiryu is different. The women in his photos always have a unique beauty.
This uniqueness does not mean that he is out of mainstream aesthetics, but that his lenses have a unique charm.
These people entered the Hollywood circle for fame or money, but none of them wanted to be an unknown supporting role.
Who doesn't want to be as glamorous as Lily Wettin?
But achieving this goal is not easy, it can even be said to be very difficult.
Several girls in the audition room all looked at a relatively conspicuous position in the lounge.
Sitting there was a blonde woman with an outstanding figure and a sweet smile.
Unlike the others who were cautious and careful, this woman exuded a unique aura from the moment she appeared in the lounge.
Every time this woman glanced around the lounge, her arrogant gaze was like that of a queen on patrol, and the other girls didn't even have the courage to look her in the eye.
But none of the girls present dared to complain because they all knew the name of this woman - the famous Hollywood actress Rachel McAdams.
Compared to them who can only play supporting roles in major movies, Rachel McAdams, who has played the female lead in "Sherlock Holmes", is obviously on another level.
In fact, no one understood why this female star would come with them to participate in this second round of basic auditions.
With the opponent's status, he could have directly entered the third round.
This person's existence is out of tune with others, just like a level 100 final boss suddenly breaking into a novice village with only level 10 monsters at most.
This is the only reason that gives the girls on the scene the courage to continue waiting for the audition instead of turning around and leaving.
This is because everyone knows that director Nanaya Kiryu needs a lot of actresses this time. Even if Rachel McAdams is accepted by that director, she still has the opportunity to grab the remaining spots.
