Chapter 249


    Willem Dafoe then left the room. But even though they knew the role was already taken, the casting director was still looking for second and third choices.


    They kept the audition for Norman Osborn open for many reasons.


    If Willem''s side didn''t want to work with them, then the crew had to find another actor to fill the role. But honestly, Kazir wanted Willem to get the part. For that, he had no problem adding another million dors to Willem sry if the negotiations didn''t work out. If that amount is not enough, then go with n B.


    ...


    ...


    ...


    Now that the role of Norman Osborn was in good hands, the crew began looking for Mary Jane. In theics, Spider-Man had many lovers. His most famous ones were Mary Jane Watson and Gwen Stacy. Unfortunately, most of his rtionships didn''t end well.


    In this movie adaptation, they decided to go for the safe route. Tobey''s girlfriend would be Mary Jane.


    Dozens of actresses auditioned for the role of Mary Jane. Some of them were quite famous in the industry.But the one thing that bothered him was the producer sitting next to him. Jezebel was quite a critic, she kept telling all the mistakes that each actress made, so today''s audition was like walking on eggshells.


    "Miss Kirsten Dunst, are you okay with dyeing your hair red?"


    Stan Lee asked. The man had not been at the audition yesterday because he had other things to do. So this time the old man tried to be active.


    Stan Lee already had a conversation with Kazir, but the subject of superhero copyrights was still not discussed. Marvel Comics was still trying to understand the director. They didn''t want to blow this unique moment to convince Kazir of their n to create a Cinematic Universe.


    "Yes, I can do it."


    Kirsten nodded. She knew that Mary Jane Watson had red hair in theics. Because she wasn''t sure if she could get the role, Kirsten didn''t dye her hair yet.


    "Miss Kirsten, I can see that you''re not at all serious and passionate about this role. At least the other actresses dyed their hair and showed their clear intentions. I''m sorry, but I''m going to give you a minus for that." Jezebel said.


    "I-I understand."


    Kirsten Dunst stammered, blushing slightly with embarrassment. But she didn''t want to damage her hair without the assurance that she would get the role.


    Stan Lee did his best to keep the atmosphere peaceful. As for Kazir, he was quiet the whole time, always thinking and rarely speaking.


    ''If I''m not mistaken, Kirsten Dunst had a kissing scene with Brad Pitt in Dance With The Vampire. To be clear, Kirsten was only 12 years old at the time.''


    Kazir couldn''t remember the exact story, but Kirsten did kiss Brad in the movie.


    As for hiring Kirsten Dunst... Kazir was not sure what to do. Again, he had trouble making a decision, especially when the producer next to him was making passive-aggressivements. Well, her criticism was not so bad.


    "We have a wig. You can wear it and we will discuss if you fit the role. There''s no problem with the acting, we just want to know if red hair works for you."


    A few minutester, a male make-up artist was doing his best to give Kirsten a makeover. Yes, most of the crew members were not from Grey Pictures.


    The head of the Grey Pictures make-up team was Jane, not a man. Jane might have trouble working in this kind of atmosphere.


    The people looked at the actress and nodded. Well, it was not that bad. Not that great, but not that bad.


    When Kirsten Dunst left the room embarrassingly, knowing she had messed up, Kazir announced something.


    "Put Kirsten Dunst on the top list. She''s our first choice for now."


    "Wha-- Okay, I get it."


    Jezebel was shocked at first. She gritted her teeth, but decided to keep her cool. Obviously, she was not to me this time.


    Unlike original script, this movie was based onic books, and the actresses and actors had plenty of time to prepare. In Kirsten''s position, she could just dye her hair or put on a wig before the audition. But the woman showed up with her blonde hair.


    After that, the audition had a break. Unlike yesterday, it seemed that the selection of the female lead might take a while.


    Kazir''s reason for putting Kirsten Dunst at the top of the list was his knowledge. He knew that the original Mary Jane was Kirsten Dunst.


    The break was still going on and Kazir decided to eat a sd, feeling quite hungry for a healthy diet. He looked at his phone and smiled when he got a message from Angelina Jolie saying she missed him. Kazir texted back.


    While eating, he noticed that the makeup artist was eating a little too close to his table. The director decided to talk to the makeup artist.


    "You''re the makeup artist, right?"


    "Yes, I''m Peyton Joel."


    "Just call me Kazir. Anyway, Peyton, do you know Jezebel? I just want to ask, but does she have a problem with women or something? I noticed that most of the crew members are men."


    "Ah, about that... I don''t know if I should say this, but I think it''s important for you to know because it might affect the movie. From what I have heard, Jezebel was abused by her mother and her sisters beat her because she acted righteous and smart. I also heard that her ssmates bullied her when she was in school, apparently she was a smart woman and they didn''t like that about her."


    "I see, thank you Peyton. Please keep this between us."


    "I understand."


    Trauma was a real thing. Even Kazir suffered from trauma, he was not sure if he had ovee it yet. He thought about therapy, but he felt it was a waste of time. His therapy was his work, he loved to work.


    As for Jezebel, too bad, but her prejudice was affecting the production. Kazir hoped it wouldn''t be a big problem.
