Chapter 230: Audition, Dragon Fight

Directors in Hollywood are very demanding when it comes to auditioning actors.

This not only includes acting skills, but also requires the quality, image, and style of the actors.

This is especially true for big-budget films.

That's why Hollywood has created so many well-known international movie stars.

Here can be a simple comparison, Huaxia may have less than 10 well-known movie stars in the world. Hollywood alone has more than 10 movie stars who play superheroes who are well-known around the world.

Counting big IPs such as DC and "Mission Impossible", there are countless of them.

In fact, there are a lot of excellent actors in Huaxia.

However, what is hotly discussed on the Internet and often appears in people's eyes are often the various scandals of those "little fresh meat" and traffic stars.

Moreover, compared to when foreign stars go out, there are no bodyguards in a circle, and there are no fans hugging each other.

Some domestic traffic stars and even some Internet celebrities often have more than a dozen bodyguards in a circle to protect them when they appear in shopping malls or airports, and the studio will even hire some people to act as fans.

In their eyes, the bigger the pomp, the more popular the actors.

And some very low-key actors such as Zhang Yi, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, etc., except that they may have some popularity on the Internet when they have new works, they rarely appear in the public's field of vision under normal circumstances.

It's just that the proportion of such actors is too small, and there is still a certain gap with Hollywood.

Of course, the Chinese film and television industry is thriving, and after the precipitation of time, it will eventually get better and better.

Hong Chen was wearing a decent suit at this moment, with his toned figure, and the whole person looked energetic.

The audition took place at Universal Pictures, whose production studio and office is located in Los Angeles, and Hollywood is located in the same city.

Other departments and administrative offices of Universal Pictures are located in New York.

Hong Chen came downstairs to Universal Pictures, looked up, and found that the building of Universal Pictures was not much different from some domestic film and television companies, but it was still very magnificent.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by two security guards in suits.

"What do you do?" asked the security officer.

Hong Chen has the skills of foreign language proficiency, so he spoke fluent English and talked to these people: "My name is Hong Chen, I am here to participate in the audition of director Walter, please inform me." ”

Hearing Hong Chen's words, the security personnel looked at him in surprise.

Hong Chen's temperament is very good, and he is also very spiritual, especially Hong Chen's English, which is very standard, and it seems that his status is not low.

The security personnel quickly reported back to the above, and it didn't take long for a tall white beauty to come out to greet him.

"Hello Mr. Hong, I am the assistant for this audition, my name is Nicole. ”

Then, Hong Chen walked towards Universal Pictures under the leadership of Nicole.

The company's first floor displays the history of Universal Pictures, with posters of various TV series, movies, famous actors, directors, and various awards next to it.

These domineering histories highlight the glory of Universal Pictures.

The two of them walked upstairs, and at this time, Hong Chen suddenly saw a familiar face.

This face is also a very famous female star in China, called Tian Tian.

Tian Tian has filmed a lot of film and television works, as her name suggests, she looks very sweet, and she has a lot of resources behind her, I don't know why, she can't become popular in China.

Both of them are Chinese, and now they meet at Universal Pictures in Los Angeles, which has to be said to be a kind of fate.

"Hello, Hongchen. Tian Tian waved at him and said with a smile.

"Hello, Tian Tian, what a coincidence. "Both of them are stars in the Chinese entertainment industry, and they naturally know each other.

"Yes, you're also coming to audition?" Tian Tian asked with a little surprise.

"Well, a spy movie, I'll try it. Are you too?"

"I've been auditioning for three weeks, and I have to come to audition every week, and my audition work is "The Great Wall", Zhang Yimou is the chief director, but Universal Pictures is the co-producer and is responsible for selecting actors. After Tian Tian saw Hong Chen, he felt very cordial and couldn't help but say more.

Listening to her words, Hong Chen nodded slightly. In Hollywood, in many cases, auditions are divided into several times, and sometimes there are only two auditions left, and it takes several more screenings to be determined.

For example, Brother Dutch's "Spider-Man" and Brother Hammer's "Thor" were auditioned several times before they were decided.

Of course, there are actors like "Iron Man" who have decided on the role at one audition, but there are very few.

"Mr. Hong, Director Walter is still waiting for you. The two of them were chatting, and Assistant Nicole reminded me softly.

"Okay. "Hong Chen still has an audition, so he can't talk to Tian Tian for too long.

The two of them were in a foreign land, and they chatted very cordially, Tian Tian smiled: "Then add a WeChat, and talk later." ”

"Okay. ”

The two of them added WeChat, and Hong Chen followed Nicole's assistant all the way to the audition place.

"Director Walter, Huaxia actor Hong Chen has arrived. Nicole knocked on the door and went in to report.

Walter glanced at Hong Chen and walked straight towards him, "Hello, Mr. Hong Chen." ”

Walter has seen Hong Chen's performance on video, and I have to say that he admires Hong Chen's play, which is very real and textured.

He heard that Hong Chen was the actor of Huaxia and had a high reputation in Huaxia, so he was also looking at Hong Chen carefully.

He found that Hong Chen was much better than he had imagined.

After all, movie clips can only see a part of the actors, and the real person is the key. Now Walter sees Hong Chen's real person and finds that Hong Chen's temperament and image are surprisingly good.

Seeing that Walter was so polite, Hong Chen also stretched out his hand and said politely: "Hello, Director Walter." ”

Then, Nicole introduced the personnel of the audition hall to Hong Chen in turn.

Director Walter, assistant director Garcy, producer Carmel, investor Robert, and several people are all looking at Hong Chen.

They are all audition directors, with a very unique vision, and they have a good way of observing actors.

They found that for now, Hongchen's performance made them relatively satisfied.

It's just that they are also very satisfied with Li Bingxian and Sanada Hiroyuki.

Therefore, they still need to choose carefully for the next audition.

"Mr. Hong Chen, the audition will start soon, please go to the lounge and wait for the notification. Nicole stretched out her hand and said politely.

Hong Chen nodded, and followed Nicole to the lounge outside.

He found that Li Bingxian and Sanada Hiroyuki had arrived. As soon as he entered the lounge, both of them looked up at the person at the same time.

All three are excellent actors from their respective countries.

Sanada Hiroyuki is older and middle-aged, Li Bingxian is a little younger, and Hong Chen is a real young man.

The relationship between the entertainment circles of China, Japan and South Korea has always been weird, and there are usually two situations.

The first type of two parties fight, looking at each other unpleasantly, and the other party watching the excitement and sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. For example, there was a contradiction between Japan and South Korea, and the Hanguo Supermarket Federation launched a boycott of Japanese goods, and Japan also made corresponding measures.

The other is that occasionally Japan and South Korea make trouble, and the other two sides suddenly become friendly and attack them in groups. It is rumored that "Sino-Japanese friendship depends on the cold country" is what it means. As long as it comes to the matter of running on the cold country, China and Japan will be super compatible.

There is no way, in some ways, Hanguo owes too much.

None of the three said anything, though, they just sat in the lounge and waited quietly for the audition.

The three of them are all big names, and in terms of international status alone, Li Bingxian and Sanada are undoubtedly stronger than Hong Chen.

The lounge is very high-class, the sofa is very soft, and the assistant serves some drinks and pastries for each of the three of them, and the service is quite considerate.

Hong Chen was amazed in his heart, no wonder Universal Pictures can become the leader, this service and the surrounding facilities are much better than other companies.

A little more later, two other auditioners arrived.

The rookie actor of the cold country, Liu Chenglu.

Thai tough guy Xiaosheng, bassoon.

All of them are really capable actors.

The next audition is bound to be a battle.
