Hollywood Drawing

Compared with Wayne, who would be confused from time to time and muttered words that no one understood in a low voice, Nina and Naomi Watts beside him had obviously already adapted to similar emergencies. . Geniuses always have quirks, don't they?

The sun rises and sets in the noisy Los Angeles. After one night, at the gate of Warner Studios the next day, as if there was a tacit understanding, reporters from various media began to appear one after another. The sensitivity of these people and the so-called The grapevine told them that the clown would appear on the set again today.

The actor who plays the role of the Joker is definitely a hot topic on the market right now. Not only are movie fans discussing and speculating, many media have also launched similar interactive columns to speculate on who will eventually get one of the most important roles in the second Batman film. one.

In the studio of the studio, the staff are still busy with their work, and the actors who have been confirmed are also doing their own training and preparations. However, everyone is obviously not focused enough today. , his eyes kept glancing toward the audition room.

There are still two important roles in the crew that have not been confirmed. They don't care who will play Two-Face. People are more concerned about whether the actor who will play the Joker can be confirmed in the next two days.

If Nicolas Cage's final performance still fails to win Wayne's nod, it means there will be a high probability of delaying the start of filming, which is definitely not good news.

"What are you doing again? Do you need help with peeing?"

"hello!"

At this time, in the temporarily arranged audition room, Matthew McConaughey was performing with his co-star Schwartz. The assistant director sat behind the table and continued to read the prepared lines. "Dent, God, you're still alive?!"

"Half-dead!" Matthew McConaughey suddenly pulled out a prop gun from his waist and pointed it at the assistant director behind the desk. "Wurtz, who is responsible for escorting Rachel?"

Although he is focusing on his performance and knows clearly that only if his performance reaches a certain standard can he impress the director and producer who have been huddled at the back of the audition room, but at this critical moment, he is still slightly worried. , and glanced in that direction with his peripheral vision.

The performance was still going on. Wayne folded his hands on the table and watched with a frown on his face without saying a word. Charles Rowan on the side was also staring closely at the temporarily set up monitor. Matthew McConaughey's voice just now The small movement also made the corner of his mouth twitch slightly.

"What do you think?" The producer turned around and found that his partner had relaxed his upper body and leaned on the chair, and smoke was blowing out of his nostrils.

Wayne shook his head slightly, lowered his voice, and said: "Basically there is no big problem with my acting skills, and my image is not bad. I will think about it."

At this moment, Schwartz in front had finished understanding the audition actors and turned back to look at them, wanting to see if they had any other questions before asking.

He placed his position very clearly and understood who was in charge here today. His opinions could only be used as a reference at best and could not play a decisive role at all. He simply did not make any suggestions and was only responsible for hosting the actors' auditions. work, and leave all the rest to the two people behind.

Wayne held the cigarette between his fingers and knocked lightly on the table twice, signaling that there was no problem on his side and it could be over.

"Mr. McConaughey, thank you for coming to this audition. The crew will notify your agent of the specific results within three days after the audition ends."

"ok."

Matthew McConaughey's eyes were also always paying attention to Wayne's direction. After nodding in agreement, he found that neither the director nor the producer had any special reaction, and his heart began to sink slowly.

When he opened the door to the audition room and walked out of the room, his agent immediately appeared, following him towards the dressing room. He looked around and asked in a low voice: "How do you feel? Opportunity. Is it big?"

"Hard to say."

Reflecting on his performance in the short audition, Matthew McConaughey said with some helplessness: "Wayne Greenberg and Charles Rowan didn't say a word in the middle, and the assistant director was responsible for the whole process. Watts was hosting and playing opposite me.”

"Don't worry, it shouldn't be a big problem."

The agent was silently relieved when he heard that Schwartz was the host. In this project, his client can be said to have the greatest advantage. As far as he knows, Steven Spielberg's recommendation, coupled with his own small actions, can completely affect the director's casting balance. .

Just as the two people were walking to the dressing room, ready to remove their makeup and leave the studio, a pair of the same pair walked towards them.

The four people looked at each other and observed each other for a brief moment. The two actors nodded slightly reservedly and then passed each other. Everyone knew that they were the main competitors for this role.

"Charlie Sheen, I heard that it was only through old Martin's connections that he barely got the chance to audition."

The agent and Matthew McConaughey did not look back, and the agent's tone was full of disdain. "Don't worry, Matthew, he doesn't pose much of a threat to you. As we all know, Wayne Greenberg's crew is almost anti-drug, and he himself hates those junk gadgets and will not let such trouble-making machines join in. From the crew.”

"Who can say for sure?"

Matthew McConaughey is still a little worried. He knows that his audition performance is average at best, and there is nothing particularly amazing about it. Now everything depends on the performance of the other party. This feeling of hanging in mid-air is very exciting. Very uneasy.

"Don't forget, the media once hyped that Wayne Greenberg's crew was a gambling den! Who can say for sure about this kind of nonsense? You can be sure that he has never been involved in this kind of nonsense as reported by the media. Live those things?"

In this circle, Matthew McConaughey knows very well what celebrity bosses are like in private. It is basically impossible to be alone. The more power and status in the circle, the more resentful they are. Maybe, because the temptations they face are far greater than those of ordinary middle- and low-level people.

"Don't think about Matthew McConaughey!"

At this time, at the door of the audition room, the agent was nervously giving instructions to his client, fearing that the strong competitor he had just encountered would affect the audition that was about to start. "Charlie, you have to understand that this is your best chance to make a comeback!"

"Do not worry."

Clenching his fists hard, Charlie Sheen adjusted his breathing and pushed open the door of the audition room.

Just like he had just completed an audition, after a simple question and answer, Schwartz handed a short script to Charlie Sheen. After he got familiar with it for a few minutes, he helped with the scene again and left. Go through the process.

In fact, this bar scene is not difficult. What Wayne wants to see is just the actor's condition. As long as the character image is passable and the basic acting skills are fine, is this role for Matthew McConaughey or Charlie? -The difference between Xindu and Xindu is not big.

However, when the performance started, the actor standing in the center of the audition room immediately attracted his attention, either because of anything else or because he entered the scene too quickly.

With almost no preparation time, Charlie Sheen can be said to switch into the role instantly. The most important thing is the emotion. This actor is very good at using his eyes and small movements on his facial expressions to achieve convincing results. At this moment, half of his face was burned off.

"This kid should have gone through a lot of practice to prepare."

Charles Rowan stared at the footage collected from the camera. In the improvised monitor, all of Charlie Sheen’s subtle expressions were actually only half of his face moving, and from his eyes with dark circles, he could clearly see It conveys depressing and saddening emotions.

Originally, the producer wanted to talk about his suggestions, but when he thought of the actor's troubles and his partner's dislike of contraband, he finally chose to keep his mouth shut.

"Charlie Sheen, right?"

It was very rare that when the performance had just come to an end, before the assistant director who was hosting the audition could ask, Wayne, who was sitting in the back, suddenly spoke up. "It can be seen that you should be fully prepared for this role."

The moment he heard Wayne speak, Charlie Sheen wanted to wave his fists and cheer. He tried hard to suppress his restless heart. After taking a long breath, he nodded calmly and said, "Yes, Mr. Greenberg." , I have read almost all the comics about Two-Face in the past few days, constantly adjusting the performance state in front of the mirror, trying to integrate myself into the character."

"very good!"

Gently scratching the stubble on his chin with one hand, Wayne thought about it and said in a stern tone: "You should have heard that if you want to join my project, you have to sign an anti-drug clause. This... .."

"Of course, Mr. Greenberg, I promise you can do it."

Before Wayne could finish his words, Charlie Sheen immediately began to express his position impatiently. This opportunity was too important to him. As long as there was a slight increase in his chances of getting the role, he was willing to try it without hesitation.

"Well, that's it."

Now Wayne is no longer in the same position as he was a few years ago. He is actually not afraid of these actors making trouble. At worst, everything will be governed by contracts. The crew's anti-drug clauses have strict regulations. As long as these actors are involved in similar crimes, This incident affected the normal filming work of the crew, and the subsequent remuneration was almost equivalent to losing money.

After the audition room became calm again, he put a checkmark on Charlie Sheen's resume with a pen and turned to look at the producer beside him. "Just him. When you talk about the contract with Charlie Sheen's agent later, focus on the anti-drug clause."

After a pause, he ordered again: "Keep his salary down!"

"No problem!" Charles Rowan shrugged and whistled softly. "Don't worry, this is my specialty. It can be seen that this child needs this opportunity to prove himself. The salary will not be the main factor affecting the negotiations."
