Chicago 1990

The female audition for Cat and Mouse Game only entered the late rounds after the crew was turned on. Near the Disney studio, the director Ridley Scott insisted that the male lead Jared Leto also participate in the casting. He has always compared Care about the sense of coordination between the two sides of the play, it is best to sparkle in the performance.

"Letto is shorter than you, close-ups and front and back shots are fine. When shooting sideways, you two will be on the left and right sides of the screen. It must be here, it must be! Pay attention to his height difference..."

Early in the morning, Charis Theron’s fat attendant drove steadily. Charis Theron and a white man in his early thirties were sitting in the back seat. Both were very nervous. The man kept reminding Various points, "You can press the table with your elbows, lean forward slightly, keeping it at the same height as Leto's face. Also, you are a girl who is not very clever and likes to giggle."

"Uh, uh... I remembered it."

Charis Theron kept nodding her head, and looked carefully at the detailed sub-scene script that Song Yaren Yeremov had quietly revealed to her. This was the director's estimate. Although the bank teller role she seeks only has more than one minute of playing time, but they are all double rivals with the male protagonist. There are many lines and close-up shots of the face. They are definitely scarce resources for Hollywood newcomers and girls, and the competition is very fierce. .

"This is the final round of auditions, you are very likely to win..."

The man continued to nag, "But today Leto will come to the show. You are a newcomer. It is normal to be suppressed by him. Don't be nervous in the middle. Follow his rhythm. The supporting role and supporting role are to match the protagonist, let alone There is an idea of ​​competing with him. After the performance, if you feel dissatisfied...you have friendship with Mr. Yeremov, don’t you? He must be here today, he should take care of you quietly, right? Be bold and just say that you just thought I’m not satisfied with the performance, please do it again."

She has been re-signed to Paikinsley, one of the CAA gold-plated agents, but her soup agent has rarely seen her a few times, and she is the only young man around her in all matters. One of CAA's joint brokers is responsible.

"Yes."

Charis also continued to nod. The guy next to her always thought that her "noble person" in Hollywood was Yeremov. This year, Mr. A+, the president of the A+ film studio, who started several projects at the same time, was sure in the eyes of the little Hollywood agent I'm a big man, so these days, I have been doing my best to accompany myself to run the audition all the way. She didn't say it was broken, so she kept the misunderstanding.

‘Cuckoo...’

Suddenly, her belly rang out, "I'm too hungry..." She said frustratedly, "I only had a glass of concentrated vegetable juice before going out."

"Your recent weight loss has been very effective. You are already a lot thinner than when I first met you. Hold on! Only the last few hours are yours! If it doesn't work, eat half an energy bar before the audition."

The agent tried desperately to encourage him.

"Ok."

The fat attendant turned the car into the parking lot not far from the corner building and said, "Make up, and then help her with some makeup." The agent got out of the car and gave up the back seat.

"There will be a dressing room and a professional makeup artist." The fat attendant muttered dissatisfiedly. She is good at everything and loyal enough, just lazy...

"The communication before the audition is also very important. Maybe whoever is the big person?"

The agent is not guilty of pimping his little artists. "You have to walk into this building in perfect condition. Have you seen it?" He turned to the parking lot and said, "The car was full when I came here several times. Now what? Those hopeful girls have all been eliminated, leaving you and a few other lucky ones."

Charis did not answer, she quietly looked at the sparse parking lot outside the window, and thought of APLUS again in her mind. Since the guy got married with one of the last female DIVA, she called again, and was all by his assistant Lin It's blocked...

She remembered Linda saying that APLUS would only help provide audition opportunities. Whether he could be selected or not depends on herself. So how much did Yeremov help in the last round of today? In fact, it's because of your acting skills, right?

"Okay." The fat attendant put away her cosmetic bag and handed her the small mirror.

She retouched herself a little bit, added lipstick, and then nodded to the agent who was waiting outside the car.

"OK, let's go!" The agent slapped his chin aggressively and led the two into the building.

"Hey, Charis..."

I met another beautiful blonde and white girl, but her hair was darker than her own, but her smile was as sweet as her, "Hello, Allen."

She recognized that the other party was named Ellen Pompei, who was participating in the audition of another female role flight stewardess. The two had no competitive relationship. They met while sitting together and waiting by chance in the previous round.

During the chat, she deliberately convoluted, knowing that the other party has no acting foundation at all, and is not too young, seems to be five or six years older than herself? In the past, he was just a waitress who worked everywhere in New York, and he didn't know what resources he suddenly got, and he was able to appear today when there was only the last round of auditions. The flight attendant role she auditioned had a **** scene with the male lead, and the competition was much fierce than her own bank teller. There were many third-tier actresses with good acting skills among the other auditioners.

"Aren't the auditions for your role scheduled in the afternoon?"

The other party also signed the CAA, and his own agent is asking the colleague, colleague and enemy who accompanied Allen by his side: "It seems to be too early, right?"

She was awakened immediately, and she froze on her face with the smile that was facing Ellen Pompei, and there was more alertness in her eyes.

Although the other party has not received the strict acting training of her own, she has a lot of experience in life. "I'm just too nervous, afraid that I will be late in the afternoon, so I will come early." She explained.

"Don't be nervous, haha..."

Her agent is very proud of the tension on her side. "Alan and I will pray for you."

"Oh, thank you in advance."

My agent was skeptical, and took a second look at the dust jacket of the clothes he was holding. The black dust jacket was tight, and it stands to reason that it should be the flight attendant jacket that the other party had to change during the audition.

"See you later, I wish your clients a role."

"I wish you too."

The two parties took the elevator together in a friendly manner. The other side left on the floor where the office area of ​​the film company was located. Charis and the agent both breathed a sigh of relief.

"That girl is very powerful, and some people's acting skills are born." The agent said: "Fortunately, it is not our competitor."

Charis did not speak because the floor of the audition room had arrived.

Registered in front of the stage with the agent and the fat attendant, and the three of them turned into the corridor leading to the waiting room. There were already three agents gathered together, all from CAA. This time they were all real competitors. It looks so friendly, but in fact it is full of thorns.

"You and your girl are late..."

Seeing themselves, the three men all showed fascinating and wary eyes, "Is Charis right?" A very stylish middle-aged man in a vintage suit helped her open the waiting room door. .

"Thank you." She smiled again.

"Remember what I told you just now." My agent made a final reminder.

"Yeah." She promised in a low voice. Just as she was about to enter the door, the middle-aged man who helped open the door suddenly handed over a small package of tissues, "You will need it."

"Don't use this little trick on my girl." My agent rolled his eyes.

She paused and squeezed a smile at the other party. Instead of receiving a tissue, she twisted her waist more exaggeratedly. She took the bank clerk uniform that she had to wear when she took the audition from the fat attendant, which she spent a lot of money to find. Tailor tailored it, and APLUS gave...the fifty thousand dollars that he borrowed from himself is almost spent again. There is no way. There is too much consumption in Hollywood, especially when you want to fight for the role. Acting classes, costumes, communication...

This time I must not fail, otherwise I still have to pick up the **** photo shoot. I am almost 20 years old and have been suffering in Hollywood for several years without any achievements. She has made up her mind to pick the one that is pleasing to the eye if she can't do it, and she will be buried if she is fucked.

"Charis, Hi!"

There are only three girls in the waiting room who have entered the final round. She is sure that none of them are as beautiful as themselves, but the role requirements do not necessarily need to be beautiful...Huh? How are three? She remembered that there were only three finalists in the final round of audition plus herself, and she glanced over, and the girl who was holding her throat pretending to say hello was eliminated in the last round! ?

"Hi..."

She hypocritically greeted each other and found a chair to sit down. The four girls were very alert to each other, basically zero communication, and the seats were far away. She did not respond to each other any more, and began to take deep breaths according to the performance teacher’s instructions. I adjusted my mood and took out the regular version of the script from my bag to help myself concentrate.

The girl who was eliminated in the last round was very active and didn't look smart. Only she kept talking, "I almost gave up. I had already bought a ticket back to Tennessee..."

At this time, a male staff member pushed the door in. He first called the girl out. This action caused the remaining three girls to change their sitting positions to hide their tension. "Charis, you enter the dressing room in 20 minutes. "He said again.

"Okay, thank you." Then she was ranked second, and she threw a flattering wink at the other party.

The staff did not respond and closed the door after taking the person away.

"Isn't it? Haha, just a camera assistant."

Another girl's ridicule came to her ears. Charis knew that she was the most experienced in acting among the four, and she was born in a family of actors and should be her biggest competitor.

She ignored each other and continued to look down at the script.

There was only the sound of paper turning in the waiting room. After fifteen minutes, she began to keep looking at her watch. She stayed on until twenty minutes. The door was not opened. She immediately became nervous and waited for another two minutes. He got up and opened the door.

"What's the matter?" the agent asked.

"Someone should take me to the dressing room..." She ignored the eyes of other people at the door, lowered her voice, and said anxiously.

"Oh, come with me." The agent walked directly into the corridor. "Miss Theron should..." When he walked to the room with the dressing room sign posted at the door, two strong men with the appearance of bodyguards stood guard at the door.

"Gluck..."

She just heard the laughter of the girl who went to the audition before. The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged white man with small eyes and a double chin came out, "Mr. Weinstein." The agent hurriedly respected. Say hello.

It’s Harvey Weinstein, the president of Miramax Films. That’s right. After several years of messing up in Hollywood, Charis also knew his reputation from various angles. Her face turned pale, she was so sad that she was about to lose again. Is the **** of the red sofa?

Harvey Weinstein did not speak or pay attention to her agent. He looked at her up and down a few times, his small eyes seemed to be able to see through the clothes, he stopped for a few seconds and smiled and walked away.

"Don't be affected..." Her manager's complexion didn't improve much, and she walked into the dressing room, the girl was making up, "I'll call the makeup artist..."

"You just..."

She couldn't hold back, and sat down on the seat next to the girl, making inquiries.

"It's nothing, Harvey people are very good..." The other party smiled, then packed the cosmetics into the bag like a proud rooster, lost his eyes and left.

Putting on the uniform of the bank clerk, the make-up artist fiddled with his face in a nervous mood. The third auditioner also came in ten minutes later without any conversation.

"Miss Theron, are you okay?" The staff opened the door and the probe came in.

"All right."

She narcissistically said to the beautiful face in the makeup mirror: "Charlis, you can do it!" Then she sprayed the breathable cleaner into her mouth and got up and set off.

The casting room was actually messy, "Director Scott, hi, Jared..."

She tried to distinguish everyone. The director Ridley Scott crouched behind a large professional camera. He sat the photographer on his right and on a tall folding chair on his left, the handsome Jared Leto. The young master cocked his legs and looked at himself with admiration, "Mr. Linton, Mr. Weinstein, Mr. Yeremov..." The other big figures all sat behind the long table, and everyone they knew greeted her with a smile. Try to be as sweet as possible, and seeing that Yeremov didn't respond at all, her heart sank again.

"Do I need to give you a few more minutes to prepare?" the casting director asked.

"Okay, I'll be fine." She took a deep breath again, took out the script and looked at it twice. In fact, there were not a few lines, she could recite it backwards, "It's okay." She didn't dare to waste too much time for big people.

"Then let's start, Leto. It's still your idiom."

She immediately glanced at the relevant passages, which were not complicated. In the script, the protagonist of the scammer set the blonde silly girl who was already committing a **** about the flow of checks inside the bank.

"Miss Theron, stand here." Zach Schneider appeared and guided him to stand.

"Thank you, Zach." She knew that this was also from APLUS, and she was more confident.

Jared Leto stood opposite her, "This girl is a bit taller." Harvey Weinstein said suddenly.

"Yeah." Linton nodded.

"You can use the table to help..." Yeremov said.

There was no table at the scene, so she immediately stretched out her elbows, leaned forward slightly, squinting, acting as if she was supporting the table, keeping her eyes at the same level as Jared Leto's eyes in front of her.

"It's okay, just play it naturally." Leto smiled politely.

"It's time to start." The casting director reminded.

She exercised her facial muscles to the best of her ability, "Checking accounts are all printed with special ink..." Imitating a silly girl without defense in front of the **** object, trying her best to express herself.

"Where are those accounts?" Leto looked at him with a smile, his eyes sparking.

"in……"

She followed Yeremov’s split-screen script with a false check in her right hand, and then deliberately placed it in front of her chest, "Here, did you see it?" Pointed Leto's hand to the sharpest part, and waited for his finger Take the check away when you get in touch.

Leto is a gentleman, there is still a slight distance between his finger and the tip, and he has not touched it.

"Here, hahaha..." She laughed like a silly girl's "strategy" after she succeeded, and she wriggled her body like a sulky, as if she was about to pounce on the man in front of him at any time. The feeling of eating, "It's the bank code..."

"Where will these checks be sent in the end?"

Leto will also play well on the surface of flirting with girls, but in fact he is still calm and calm.

"I……"

She replied stupidly in the New York accent that she learned very well: "I don't know, no one has ever asked me, haha, hahahaha..."

"Sure."

The director Ridley Scott stopped just right, then looked at the monitor, and talked with the photographer in a low voice, "It's beautiful..." The small actions are well designed..." and other compliments came to her ears. She felt much better in the middle of the game, she touched her forehead, she was already sweating, the performance just now seemed to have emptied all of her energy, and now she can’t recall the scene at that time and how she was acting in detail, just know that she didn’t feel There is too much pressure on the scene with Leto.

"Do it again?" the casting director asked.

"I'm fine." Leto shrugged easily.

"Ok……"

She also nodded and concentrated once more.

Back in the waiting room, she felt distressed and fidgeted, as if waiting for the death sentence to be pronounced. The last audition girl soon returned.

She looked at the girl who had spent time with Harvey Weinstein in the dressing room, who was nervously putting a small brown paper bag around her mouth to adjust her breathing.

"Everyone is nervous, it doesn't seem to be a big problem?" She hinted to herself psychologically.

‘Has the result come out? ’‘Who was selected? ’

There was an eager inquiries from the agents outside the door, and the four girls put down their things and listened attentively.

"Fxxk!"

Suddenly she heard a loud **** from her agent, and suddenly felt that the sky was falling. She covered her face with her hands and burst into tears on the spot...

This **** Hollywood!

"Congratulations,...Miss."

The door was pushed open, and sure enough, the girl who hooked up with Harvey Weinstein was selected. She screamed and jumped up and cheered, jumping and jumping, and celebrating with her agent.

"Always like this! Always like this! I have been working hard in Hollywood for seven years!"

She looked through her fingers, the unsuccessful girl from an acting family cursed and smashed things into her bag, "You have been fired!" The girl yelled at the agent when she went out, and then slapped away straight away.

The last girl who was left was just as useless as herself, slumped on the chair and sobbed.

"Well, Charis, there is no way, accept the result calmly."

The agent and the fat attendant walked in to comfort him, "Let's go to Charlie..." The fat attendant helped him get the dust bag.

"Wait, wait..." She refused to leave until the girl cried and left her agent. "I'm going to see Mr. Yeremov..." She whispered to the agent.

"already……"

"I want to see him!"

"Ok, come with me."

The agent's eyes lit up and took her out and walked to the door of Yeremov's office. "If you have any tricks, there is nothing to lose." The agent knocked on the door and hinted with encouraging eyes.

"Charis? Come in."

Yeremov opened the door and shut the agent outside, "Uh, sorry, that old man Harvey has to push the girl she likes."

"Can you talk to APLUS about this? I'm already in Hollywood..." she asked, suppressing the feeling of collapse.

"not very convenient……"

Yeremov didn’t talk too much, turned around and picked up a new script on the desk, “You quickly get familiar with it. Harvey is not here in the afternoon. You can change to the role of an audition stewardess. I have already played with the casting director. Hello."

"Thank you, Mr. Yeremov!"

Survival from desperation! ? She was so excited that she almost jumped, "Thank you! I will seize the opportunity!"

"Uh, thank APLUS if you want to, but don't tell anyone about it. If I find you show off in Hollywood..." Yeremov warned.

"I know, you can rest assured Mr. Yeremov."

"Well, I'm very busy, you can go. Wait, don't be too happy after going out."

Today, feeling like a roller coaster, she opened the door and went out, trying to behave as normal as possible, but the corners of her mouth still couldn't stop the upturn.

"No, Mr. Yeremov, is he... so fast?" The agent was unknown.

"You go to the casting director, I got the audition for the afternoon." She whispered.

"Okay! Good job Charis!"

The agent immediately put aside the doubts about how she could do this, and trot excitedly to find someone.

After eating an energy bar at noon, she appeared in the waiting room again in the afternoon, "You?" Ellen Pompei and the other two girls who had been waiting inside looked at her in surprise.

"Hi, Ellen..." She secretly said sorry in her heart, smiled at her, and sat down diagonally.

"You..." Alan sent'you' several times~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Charis observed that the facial muscles of her cheeks were trembling slightly, "You, would you like to drink something?" The other party took out a bottle of water and shook him.

"No, thank you." She declined.

"Bi Chi..." The other party stopped acting and cursed directly.

She pretended not to hear, and lowered her head to study the new notebook. Yeremov gave herself a full-text version, and she began to figure out the character's small movements...

In the afternoon, she appeared in front of the director, the hero, Yeremov and others...

"No, it's too high..."

Unexpectedly, Ridley Scott would be killed on the spot after one round of performance, mercilessly.

Alan Pompei finally got the role, "Bi Chi..." he insulted the defeated dog triumphantly when passing by her.

She didn't care anymore. Everyone's conversations and noises came into her ears with a vague buzzing sound. They walked up the elevator with the fat attendant and the agent three walking dead, got out of the elevator, left the building, and returned to the parking lot.

The frustration experienced today is too great. She feels that she may be depressed and needs a psychologist urgently...

"Charis, wait..."

At this time, Zach Schneider's shout came from behind, "Charis?"

She turned her head blankly and saw the assistant director running over and grabbed her arm directly.

He was pulled to a remote corner of the parking lot, "Let your agent sign it." Zach Schneider stuffed a document into his hand and confessed concisely: "A drunk woman, with only one line, appeared more than a dozen lines. Seconds, but not bad. The audience can see your figure and face clearly, no audition is required, that's it."

She grabbed the document like a straw, and burst into tears again, "Thank you Zach, oooooo..."

"Thanks APLUS."
