Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"memory,

may be beautiful,

However,

too painful,

can't remember,

We just choose to forget. "

Madonna sang another old Barbra Streisand song: "The Way We Were," the theme song for the film of the same name starring Barbra and Robert Redford.

This time, even director Ellen Parker couldn't help but applaud, "Okay, she sings very well. We can consider using her to act."

"No, Ellen. She should play Doris. You look at her nose, body, and singing skills. She looks like Barbra Streisand when she was young. It suits Doris, the average-looking Jewish girl who lacks self-confidence."

When she heard that she was average looking and lacked confidence, Madonna pouted.

"You must be blind, David." Director Parker's nose got bigger when he was angry, and he began to criticize the producer mercilessly. "Doris is a girl who lacks self-confidence. Look at her..." Said Pointing at Madonna with her chin raised, "Is she a person who lacks self-confidence?"

Ronald saw that something was wrong, and the two were about to quarrel again. He quickly and quietly stood up from the seat he just sat down, leaned against the wall, and moved toward the door step by step. If you can't agree this time, don't bother me again.

Seeing Madonna looking over, she quietly made a shush gesture to her, motioning not to tell herself.

The director and producer quarreled in front of Madonna for a long time, and suddenly remembered...

"Ronald, what do you think? Huh?"

"Where's the Ronald? Did you see him?"

Madonna shrugged and spread her hands.

"Okay, okay, let's not argue here, Madonna's affairs will not be decided for the time being, and we will decide his role when we have the next audition," the producer said, pointing to Madonna, "You come and stay in touch. way, wait for us to inform."

"What's this?" Director Alan Parker saw the notebook that Ronald forgot to take away, opened it and saw that there were two folds of paper, and the crumpled paper fell out.

The director unfolds the paper, which is filled with excerpts from Hillary's script.

"...My dream is to dance all the classical ballet roles, Giselle, Coppélia, Sleeping Beauty, and Black Swan before I turn 21..."

This is a good show. Director Parker applauded in his heart and slapped the table: "Who, go and make ten copies of this paper."

The judges on Joanna Merlin's side had been filled by another colleague, and Ronald wandered the audition spots on the first floor.

When I walked to Margery's place, I thought I was going to see the dance audition today, so I added a chair behind the jury. Meg was interested in the two leading dancers, and he also wanted to see the quality of his competitors.

After watching a few in a row, Meg couldn't dance the ballet as well.

"They're both better suited for that lazy Lisa Monroe."

"Who's right for Lisa Monroe?"

When Ronald turned his head, it was Meg.

"Why are you here?"

"The director asked me to go directly to the second round of Hillary and Lisa Monroe auditions this afternoon." Meg laughed.

"I'll see you audition then."

The next audition was for a Chinese girl, and she was fighting for a role played by a Chinese group.

"You can also play the Chinese ballet girl." Ronald teased Meg quietly.

"Don't talk nonsense," interrupted Meg seriously, dragging him into a corner. "Don't talk about my Chinese blood again, Ronnie."

"Why?" Ronald asked in confusion.

"No one has told me about my Chinese origin except you. Especially now as an actor, if someone is positioned as Chinese, I will not be able to get roles in the future. Only how many Chinese roles are there in Hollywood a year?"

"Okay, I know.

' Ronald made a zipper to pull his mouth up.

"Well, I'm going to prepare for the performance, don't disturb me."

Meg's acting skills are still in the training stage, and preparing for emotions requires solitude.

Ronald was waiting to see the last few morning interviewers.

"Next..." Margaery called in another ballerina girl.

"Go ahead and do these actions as the audition notice says."

The girl, with blonde hair and an elegant figure, has already changed into her ballet practice clothes and dancing shoes.

She got ready and started spinning her legs, one circle, two circles, picking up an Arabesque on tiptoe, holding steady for half a second, like a beautiful white swan.

Ronald was stunned, this is the girl who played Hillary in the dream.

He stood up suddenly, accidentally knocked down a bottle of water, and hurriedly packed it up.

The girl looked at him angrily.

"What? Love at first sight?" Margaery whispered his joke.

"No, I feel like she's Hillary." Ronald said solemnly. The joke couldn't reach Meg.

"It really should pass. The skills and temperament are in line with Hillary." Margery smiled and handed a green card to the girl, wrote your name, and went to the second floor for the second round of interviews in the afternoon.

Ronald leaned in and saw that the girl's name was Antonia Franceschi.

"Italian?"

"Antonia Francesky, you are the first"

The second-round interview in the afternoon was in the large room on the second floor. Director Ellen Parker, producer David Da Silva, Margery and other casting directors are all sitting.

The director also installed a camera, which was dedicated to 35mm films, to film the audition process.

The actor's face, refracted by the film lens, will undergo some wonderful changes. Some people who are beautiful in life may not be beautiful in the camera. Or conversely, ordinary people in life become charming in the camera.

It's all up to the movie gods to decide.

"Take this," Ellen handed Antonia a piece of paper, "Get familiar with it, start in five minutes."

Five minutes later, Allen turned on the camera, signaling that the girl could start.

Antonia Francesky sat on a bench with her arms folded on her stomach. A sad mood is brewing.

She acted very well, she opened her mouth with a cry, and tried her best to hold back her tears. Chu Chu's pitiful appearance was distressing, and then she began to talk to herself:

"...Look, my dream is to dance all the classical ballet roles, Giselle, Coppélia, Sleeping Beauty, and Black Swan before I'm 21..."

Wow, Ronald stood up again.

Everyone looked at Ronald, blaming him for interrupting this wonderful performance.

The most amazing thing is Margery, what happened to Ronnie today? To face Antonia suddenly stand up twice? Couldn't help looking at Ronald.

Ronald was startled and frightened.

He fixed his eyes on director Alan Parker.

This is the script he wrote. It was written about Meg's secret dreams, and it was also the script he promised Meg to throw away!

Alan Parker actually used it for auditions! How did he get the script? Why did he do this without discussing it with himself?

Meg must have blamed him.

Meg Tilly was also in the crowd, covering her mouth open in surprise with her hand.

A pair of wonderful eyes looked at Ronald, as if condemning him. Why not keep the promise? To give the director the script that belonged to her Meg alone? Why let another girl read lines that belonged to Meg alone?

Ronald saw Meg too, and all the silent accusations passed through the air.

Speechless.

A flood of remorse flooded Ronald's heart, and a drop of sweat crept down the collar of his tie shirt and onto his back.

This drop of sweat is like flipping an emotional switch, surprise and remorse, suddenly transformed into anger, pointing to director Alan Parker.

Ronald felt a hum of blood rushing to the top of his head, adrenaline was secreted in a short period of time, and his hands began to shake involuntarily.

The only trace of rationality left, let Ronald know the consequences of the current attack, and he held back and did not rush out to destroy the audition.

"Look, there is no room for a baby in my dream."

The lines that Antonia Franceski read, reached Ronald's ears and became very strange.

The sound of the outside world seemed to be separated from him by a layer of membrane, all the sounds became lighter and vague, except for the rapid blood flow in the ears, only the rattling of gritted teeth.

The clenching fist, the arm with exposed blue veins, and the rattling of teeth made Margery next to her startled.

The nurse, played by Joanna Merlin, said her line: "Do you pay with Mastercard, or American Express, Honey?"

Antonia Francesky almost laughed, who wrote the wicked lines, and humored at the end of the sad scene. However, she still held back her laughter, raised her head to look at the nurse, and revealed a bewildered look at the future. Completed a fantastic audition.

She, who performed wonderfully, was not waiting for the director's affirmation, but a loud noise.

"boom!"

Antonia was taken aback.

It's Ronald.

He couldn't hold it any longer and slammed his fist on the table.
