Chapter 289: Clown's First Audition, Unique Views
Hong Chen smoothly entered the headquarters of Warner Bros.
The security facilities at the headquarters are set up very well, and the security guard just now knew that Hong Chen was indeed the actor who auditioned, and he didn't dare to say anything.
After all, the actors who can audition are all big shots, and he doesn't dare to offend, and he will suffer if he suffers.
He just couldn't think of it, how could an Asian person audition for a clown?
This is also an exaggeration!
In his fixed mind, this Asian must have come to cause trouble.
That's why there was the conflict in the scene just now.
"Are you alright? His colleague asked.
The security guard rubbed his aching chest and wrists, his face was gloomy, and said, "It's okay, you asked clearly, was that person really here to audition for the clown just now?"
His colleague nodded and said: "That person's name is Hong Chen, he is an actor in Huaxia, I have heard several big directors talk about him, his Chinese kung fu is very powerful, you are also unlucky, dare to provoke him." ”
Listening to his colleague's words, a trace of bitterness appeared on the security guard's face. I really can't find myself.
Hong Chen entered the Warner Pictures building and went straight upstairs.
There are a lot of posters in glass frames in the corridor, which show various big IPs and well-known actors of Warner. Among them, Harry Potter has the most, and the Matrix also has a lot.
Hong Chen was led by the secretary to the top floor of the audition.
At this moment, the producers are auditioning, and in order to choose the right role to play the Joker, they invited a large number of well-known actors, and they have undergone a very strict screening.
The people in charge of the auditions are also well-known big names.
The first is the chief director Christophe Nolan, how powerful he is, in addition to the Batman series, such as "Memory Fragments" and "Inception" are all written by this great director.
There is also the screenwriter David Goyer, who was the screenwriter of the first "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadows" and is a very good helper.
Also on the line is Frank Miller, one of the authors of the Batman comics, whose "Batman: The First Year" recreates Batman's origin story and becomes an epoch-making landmark work.
There is also Ed, a senior executive of the United States DC Company, who is one of the leaders of this big IP.
In addition to this, there is a team that specializes in evaluating the expressiveness of actors.
This battle is not unceremonious.
And that's just the first try.
The audition had been going on for a long time, and director Nuo Column shook his head in disappointment.
"No, these aren't the clowns I had in mind. ”
Screenwriter David smiled bitterly on the side and said: "Nolan, will the requirements be higher, just now there are a few top actors in Hollywood." ”
Nuo Column was profound, and said indifferently: "They can't give me that feeling, the clown is a character who plays with everyone, a combination of genius and madness, and an existence that looks down on everything." ”
"But none of them can play that effect, I only saw madness at most, but I didn't see the genius and domineering side. ”
Hearing this, several other people stopped talking.
The role of the clown is crucial, but it is also difficult to choose the right actor.
Let's put it this way, it's much harder to find the right actor for the Joker than it is to find the right actor for Batman.
Batman - the old man is upright, he is a top rich man, in fact, in terms of identity and temperament, many male actors in the entertainment industry can achieve it.
But the clown can't, the clown needs to get started with three points of acting skills.
While the audition judges were discussing the results of the audition, Hong Chen came to the place where he was waiting to rest.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Depp walking out of the audition.
His eyes changed, Depp is also a well-known international superstar, and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series alone has made him the only captain in the hearts of fans around the world.
Depp is the world's top male star, and he even came to audition, and looking at Depp's expression, it seems that the audition failed?
But it's normal, Depp's style is weirder, but it's not the kind of madness of the Joker, just like "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Edward Scissorhands", he is very suitable for that peculiar painting style.
So it's understandable that the audition failed.
However, what Hong Chen saw was that Depp was invited to the audition for this drama, and it seems that the director's team is really big.
Because the time span of the audition is relatively long, there are no more people auditioning at this time. Hong Chen just waited for a while, and within a few minutes, he was called in by a female assistant to audition.
"Who is the next actor to audition?" said Nuo Lan indifferently without any expression on his face.
The assistant on the side glanced at the data just now and said: "Actor No. 24, Hong Chen, a native of China, plays the role of Han in the "Fast and Furious" series. ”
"Huaxia?" Hearing this, director Nuo Liang frowned.
Several other audition judges were also a little stunned.
They also didn't expect that there would be Chinese people to audition.
"That's right, director, at a banquet at that time, Hong Chen approached me and wanted to get an audition spot, and he performed a part in front of me, and the effect was very good. Screenwriter David Goyer hurriedly explained.
Nuo Lan glanced at him indifferently and said, "David, you have to know how important the clown's audition is, don't hide your selfishness." ”
Nuolan's meaning is very simple, he thinks that David received Hong Chen's benefits and gave Hong Chen an audition spot.
In fact, this situation is very common, many of the actors who auditioned before were pushed by other directors, and some international movie stars recommended them, such as Gal Gadot's younger brother.
But Nuo Lin didn't expect that David would recommend a Chinese actor.
David smiled bitterly and said: "Director, I really don't have any selfish intentions, you can see for yourself in a while, his performance is really good." ”
As they spoke, Hong Chen walked in.
At the first glance of him, director Nuo Lan was slightly disappointed.
The reason is very simple, Hong Chen's figure and temperament are very good, and he also has a very sunny smile on his face. However, this kind of person may like to play "Titanic", but he will never be able to play a clown.
Hong Chen walked to the middle, greeted the several audition judges sitting on the judges' seat, and then sat down on the chair in the middle at the signal of an assistant.
In front of him is a sophisticated video camera, as the audition process has always been in Hollywood, where materials are always saved for those who come after him to learn from.
"Your name is Hong Chen, isn't it? Tell me, why do you want to play the clown?" Nuo Liang leaned back in his seat, still with no expression on his face.
"Because the Joker, like Batman, is a very charismatic person. Hong Chen said naturally, his voice was steady, and the judges could clearly hear every word he said.
"The Joker has a unique and self-consistent worldview, has clear and firm beliefs, and has a strong execution ability to implement his beliefs. ”
"He is different from other villains, he is unique, he does not worship force, he pursues spiritual symbols. He has his own set of rules of conduct, does not follow any morality, and is the purest evil. ”
Hong Chen talked about it, and the director Nuo Liang listened with relish.
With these few lines of dialogue, Nuo Lan knew that at least Hong Chen had done his homework and had an in-depth understanding of the clown.
But it's just an understanding.
This kind of dialogue is just a preliminary understanding of the actor.
"Then what do you think of the comparison between the Joker and Batman?" Suddenly, Nuolan asked a strange question, "Some people say that the Joker loses because he doesn't want to play anymore, what do you think?"
Nuo Lan looked at Hong Chen with interest and asked again.
In fact, he asked many auditioning actors this question, and most of them came to the conclusion that the Joker was far superior to Batman on a spiritual level.
Or "it's not that Batman won, it's that the Joker doesn't want to play anymore."
Hong Chen's answer to this is simple.
This kind of thing is a complete insult to the clown. ”
"The Joker's ultimate goal is to defeat Batman, and he thinks he can make Gotham City lose its light, but he fails. Batman, to a certain extent, is much greater than the Joker. ”
This kind of thing is nothing more than the words of some passers-by who lack rationality and understanding, or follow the trend. ”
"Both of them have unique charms, but the Joker never says 'I don't want to play anymore', he just says whether he fails or succeeds. ”
"Do you want to continue?"
