Superstar

Chapter 21: 30 seconds

   The audition for "Smelling a Woman" soon began. The interview room was the meeting room next door. This is not a temporary set-up, but a complete room that can block all the noise in the studio. A few people entered in the front, and they didn't stay for long. The shortest seemed to come out after they entered, and the longest was only three minutes. You know, now in the reception room, there are actors who have works that can be brought out to talk about. As a result, the audition ended so soon. This is really impossible to have a good premonition. Could it be that the crew just wanted to find too many today? Experienced newcomer?

Soon, the person who had just shut Hugo and Leonardo got up. Hugo and Leonardo immediately stood up straight and sat down, and at the same time stared at the man with round eyes, without any particular malice. There is no special expression, it seems to be just a normal look, the difference is that the eyes are opened very wide, which makes the man very helpless, want to say something but have nothing to say, can only speed up the pace and enter the meeting Room. Seeing the man's hurried back, both Hugo and Leonardo almost laughed without being stretched, but considering that there was still a task to be completed, both of them were held back abruptly.

Sure enough, the man came out after a while. He only persisted for about two minutes. As soon as he came out, he saw that Hugo and Leonardo were still sitting stubbornly, just like children on the first day of school. Just as well-behaved, staring at him curiously. The man was frowned upon by Hugo and Leonardo, but the other party was not malicious, and in the end they couldn't say anything, and they could only run away in the end.

This time, Hugo and Leonardo laughed loudly, but the others did not complain. Instead, the other people in the reception room couldn't help but laughed, which immediately made the receptionist. The tense atmosphere in the room eased a lot.

When Ellen Lewis (Ellen. Lewis) walked out, he saw such a pleasant atmosphere in the reception room, and among a group of actors, Hugo and Leonardo sitting in the center were so dazzling and easy. It attracted people's attention. In this, Hugo's sunny smile is particularly attractive. The warm, brilliant, and gorgeous halo makes the corner of the viewer's mouth involuntarily outline an arc.

However, thinking of the black history of Hugo's previous three consecutive works, not to mention the negative impact of the Golden Raspberry Award, the smile on Allen's face has also slightly reduced, and he withdrew his attention and put it back on his own. At work, "Leonardo DiCaprio, you are next."

"Good luck, buddy." Leonardo stood up, Hugo said with a smile, which made the smile on Leonardo's face a little easier, and then followed Allen behind him. The meeting room next door.

Without a chat partner, Hugo immediately noticed a sense of tension on his face, because his attention had been completely shifted to the upcoming audition, and the tension could not help but wind up all the tendons of his whole body, and the muscles were tight. The tension made him feel that his breathing became quicker.

   Hugo took the script again, but in the end he couldn't read a word. To be precise, the brain is now in a completely blank state, and Hugo can't even remember his original plan. Hugo knew that he was too nervous. At the time of the audition for "Dahe Lian", Hugo was still in a state of just crossing over. He was confused about the situation and ended the interview while ignorant. Today's audition is obviously completely different.

Taking a deep breath, taking a deep breath, Hugo constantly forced himself to adjust his breathing rhythm. Although he has not seen any big scenes, the band’s performances in the past were basically small occasions. The performance stage of the Midi Rock Festival is the largest of their band in ten years. However, Hugo still has his own methods for dealing with tension.

   After a few deep breaths, Hugo's anxiety really calmed down, but the brain still didn't recover. Hugo knew that he could only wait until the audition process to react randomly.

   At this time Leonardo walked out of the conference room. Hugo raised his head and cast inquisitive eyes. Leonardo stayed in it for about three minutes. Leonardo gave a helpless smile and shook his head. It seemed that the audition process was not going well. Then Leonardo did not come over, just said "good luck", then waved goodbye to Hugo, and went outside to find his agent.

   "Hugo Lancaster." Allen stood at the door of the conference room again and called to the reception room.

   Hugo took a deep breath again, stood up, hesitated, took the script on the sofa in his hand, and walked towards the meeting room.

   whispered "thank you" to Allen who opened the door for him. Hugo walked into the meeting room and saw the furnishings in the room at a glance. This is a conference room, but it's actually a small room of more than 300 square feet (30 square meters). Inside is a round conference table. At this time, there are three people sitting next to the table.

   Hugo stepped forward and put his resume on the table. Today is a public interview, and submitting a resume is a necessary procedure. This is Ellen who also walked to the table and sat down. She smiled and pointed to the woman sitting on the outermost side and said, "I’m the casting director Ellen Lewis, and this is the representative of the Screen Actors’ Guild, Lily Stekhan. Pu." Hugo and Lily exchanged a polite smile, "Well, you can start, you have thirty seconds."

   Hugo was stunned. The two men in the middle did not introduce them at all. Who are they? And it started as soon as they came in, they didn't even look at their resumes. Recall that the people who participated in the audition had only stayed for three minutes for the longest time, Hugo understood.

   "Thirty seconds? I don't know what I can do." Hugo pursed his mouth, raised the script with his right hand, and said honestly.

   "What do you mean?" Allen frowned and asked puzzledly. The two men in the middle who were reading Hugo's resume couldn't help but look up.

Hugo was not nervous anymore and spoke very fluently. "I mean, Charlie is a student. He doesn't have a focused bright spot and can't burst out in a short time. You give me thirty seconds, I don’t care. Nothing in the performance can show the role of Charlie."

Alan’s face showed probing eyes, but the two men in the middle still had no expressions, they just exchanged glances, "You haven’t read the script, there are several confrontations between Charlie and the lieutenant colonel, but Charlie has a lot of them. Performance space." Hugo opened his mouth, originally wanting to say, "This is a rivalry, we need to stimulate each other to perform", but Allen seemed to know his sophistry, raised his hand to stop Hugo, and then said, "Do you think that the role of a student is not challenging, and that it is enough to rely on true performance?"

"That's not the case." Hugo was not discouraged. During the audition process, he would encounter various situations. There was no way to prepare in advance, even if he turned over the script of "Scent of a Woman". There is burrs, which is of no avail. So he didn’t panic and said methodically, “I mean, there’s no way to perform something like student spirit, just like you can’t deceive others how many books you have read. Even Al-Pasi No, if he plays the role of Charlie, he won’t be able to play it. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have a public interview today, would you?"

Allen glanced at the two men on his right this time, and all three of them had a thoughtful smile on their faces. "Even if you are right, it does not mean that your behavior is correct. You I thought you walked in, and within the 30 seconds we gave you, you could get a role without performing anything. That’s impossible.” Alan beat Hugo mercilessly, but she didn’t. Seeing any frustrated expression on Hugo’s face is still that warm smile, "If you follow your current logic, how did you get your role in the'Death Poetry Society'?"

   In fact, from an objective point of view, Hugo is very suitable for the role of a student. His classical scroll temperament is very eye-catching, and he is playing a student in the "Death Poetry Society".

   Hearing this question, Hugo was immediately embarrassed, because he really didn't know the audition situation of the "Death Poetry Society" ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ It can not be said that Tracy walked through the back door. So Hugo raised his right hand and waved gently, "Say...'Hello'?"

   This childish humor immediately made Allen laugh, and smiles appeared on the faces of the other three people, which made Hugo a little relieved.

"Since you think you can't express the essence of Charlie's character in thirty seconds, then obviously you have your own understanding of this character. Can you talk to us?" Allen glanced at the watch on the table. Ten seconds have passed, but she has no intention of letting Hugo go, and the two men beside her obviously have no such intention.

   The two men sitting in the middle are director and producer Martin Brest and screenwriter Bo Goodman. Although it seems that the person who holds the power of life and death today is the casting director Allen, both the director and the screenwriter came to the audition scene in person, which shows that they attach great importance to the role of Charlie. They don't want to be Al-Pa Sinoe finds a terrible rival actor, which will ruin a movie. Although they have never identified themselves, it does not mean that they will remain silent, but there are currently no actors worthy of their words.

Although the development process of the previous audition was beyond Hugo's expectations, this problem is not difficult for him. The benefits of reading the script repeatedly before and again have been highlighted at this time. The original blank brain now has With a steady stream of ideas, Hugo can speak directly without thinking.

   "Of course, as long as you don't rush me to leave." Hugo's first words once again made Allen and the others smile.
