Warner Headquarters Building, New York.

This time, it was the Joker's second audition, and the people who could stay were all characters who had been approved by the director.

When Hong Chen walked into the lounge, there were already two people waiting, and when they saw Hong Chen, they were obviously stunned.

These two people Hong Chen know, they are both Hollywood actors, one is named Robert Knetp, and most of them play the psychopathic killer T-bag in the American drama "Prison Break".

He plays T-bag as a very controversial character, a real pervert, bisexual, and in terms of personality he is simply a devil crawling out of hell.

But it's such a character, who fell in love with the protagonist and killed each other for 5 seasons, and there are a lot of fans around the world.

It can be said that Knepp played the role of T-bag too well.

Charismatic pervert.

Another actor is Payne Begley, who played DAN in Gossip Girl and also played a psychopathic killer in a TV series.

It can be said that these two are big guys who are better at playing villain roles.

Knepp, in particular, with his wicked smile, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, lest he pull out his pocket and say to you:

"Grab this pocket and your life will be perfect from now on. ”

But at this time, Knepp still looked very normal, after all, it was just acting.

Rao is like this, and you can also see how much competitive pressure there is to play the clown.

"Guys, please apply makeup first, today's audition requires makeup to complete. In addition, the script for the audition is here, so please familiarize yourself with it first. Not long after, the beautiful assistant came in and said to them.

They are only the first wave of auditions, and there are many more to come, and there are not a few people who have passed the first audition.

Hong Chen first looked at the script of the audition.

The content of the script should be part of the plot.

It's about a charity party hosted by Bruce Wayne when the Joker suddenly appears to find Harvey Dent from the crowd and kill him.

Harvey Dant, known as the nemesis of sin, is the city's Knight of Light.

One of the Joker's ideas is to plunge Gotham City into chaos and despair, and Harveydant's appearance gives people faith and hope, so Harvey Dent must die.

The name of the second part of Batman is called "The Dark Knight", and the Dark Knight refers to Batman, and another important character in this movie is Harvey Dante, the Knight of Light.

The audition consisted of the Joker forcing everyone to tell Harvey Dant's whereabouts, and one of the most important scenes was to force Harvey Dante's girlfriend Rachel to tell Harvey Dant's whereabouts.

Rachel is also a very important character in this film.

Then, every ten minutes, they went backstage to put on makeup.

Knepp was the first to go, he was the first to arrive, and in order was the first.

It's a pity that the audition footage is kept secret, otherwise Hong Chen would have liked to see Knepp's performance.

The first American drama he watched was "Prison Break", and he was very impressed by this character.

The moment he entered the lounge and saw Knepp, he thought he had seen T-bag's pervert, and he almost couldn't resist going up and punching him.

However, there is one thing to say, Knepp's temperament is very different from that of a clown.

Knepp's smile was one of a sinister one, like a viper, licking his lips in the shadows and staring gloomily at his prey.

But the clown's laugh is different, his laugh is a flamboyant laugh.

The tragic fate of the character T-bag causes a distortion of human nature. Although the Joker's fate is just as tragic, he has his own set of rules.

The clown is crazy, but also very smart, a contradiction.

Hong Chen waited quietly.

Each audition takes about 10 minutes, but makeup may take a little longer.

Today's audition is very important, because today's audition is to see what kind of effect the actor will shoot when he plays the clown.

If the effect is not good, then it will definitely be passed immediately.

It didn't take long for Hong Chen to go in and put on makeup.

The clown's makeup took longer than expected, and the makeup team was a Hollywood-level professional makeup team, and the makeup skills of this team were not ordinarily strong.

For example, the nebula and surround view in the "Avengers" series are not special effects, they are actually painted.

There are also the Witches in "X-Men", Gamora in "Guardians of the Galaxy" and so on.

The clown's makeup is all pale skin, with bright red lipstick painted on his mouth, which spreads to both sides of his lips, almost near the base of his ears, and his hair is green.

The clown image of Heath Ledger in the parallel world is very classic, but in fact, the clown in the original comics is a very capable man, and his hair is also combed back with a big back, and the clown image in "Harley Quinn" is closer to the original book.

After Hong Chen put on makeup, his image is very consistent with the image in the comics, tall and capable, but he hasn't started acting yet, so he doesn't have the momentum of a clown.

Then, Hong Chen changed into the clown's signature costume - an all-purple tuxedo suit, like a gentleman.

Truth be told, this kind of makeup, without the clown's demeanor and expression, actually looks funny.

The makeup artist looked at Hong Chen, always feeling that something was missing, and was very dissatisfied, as if he hadn't painted well.

Hong Chen saw his troubles and knew that his temperament should be relatively gentle, which conflicted with this set of makeup.

Thinking of this, Hong Chen sat on the chair, looked at himself in the huge makeup mirror, and suddenly activated his skills and entered the performance state.

In an instant, his temperament completely changed.

Just now he was an ordinary person in funny clothes, and at this moment, his eyes were murderous, and his face became cold and terrifying.

When the makeup artist saw Hong Chen's eyes and smile in the mirror, he was suddenly startled, and couldn't help but take several steps back.

At that moment just now, he felt as if he was being targeted by something, and his hairs stood on end!

"Is it okay?" asked Hong Chen, who had recovered from his performance state and became gentle again.

The makeup artist nodded hurriedly, and then pointed to the distance and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the audition is over there." ”

Seeing his appearance, Hong Chen shrugged helplessly, and then walked towards the audition hall.

At this moment, Nuolan had just finished watching Begley's performance, and there was no expression on his face.

"I think Knepp's performance just now was a little better. Ed, a senior executive at DC, expressed his opinion.

This was obvious, and everyone else nodded.

Nuolan sighed and said, "Knepp's performance is really good, expressing the cold feeling of the clown, but I always feel that something is missing, and that effect is not what I want." ”

"The Joker is not an ordinary villain, he must have a soul in it. He is a reckless person, and the kind of inner release that does not care about it, and the freedom to do whatever he wants, is his greatest charm. ”

Norlan is right, why clowns are so popular around the world, because people have too many things imprisoned in their lives, and clowns are a person who is truly "free".

It is not freedom to do no evil, and it is freedom to be willing to leave everything behind for the sake of one's ideals and beliefs.

Knepp's performance is more like a pure villain.

"Look at it again, this role is really difficult, and it is not easy to perform. Nolan sighed again.

"Who's the next auditioner, is the makeup done?" Ed asked in a loud voice.

"Mr. Ed, the next actor to audition is the Chinese actor Hong Chen, and the makeup is ready. The female assistant said hurriedly.

Flood dust.

Hearing this name, Nuolan's eyes lit up.

The last time Hong Chen's performance in the audition, the Nuo column is still vivid, and he even watched Hong Chen's audition video no less than five times.

Whenever Nolan had a clearer understanding of the clown's image, he would watch the video for inspiration.

The phrase "Why so serious?" It still rings in his head.

"Chinese?" Charles Rowan, a famous Hollywood filmmaker and producer of this film, frowned and asked, "Are you sure you're right?"

Charles is a real upper-class figure in the United States, with a slightly fat figure, white hair, and a black suit, a typical representative image of the exploiting class, and his own resources are very strong.

When he heard that the clown audition was a Chinese, he was immediately a little curious.

"Mr. Charles, the performance of this Chinese actor is definitely the best performance I have ever seen, and I even feel that he is the most suitable clown among all the auditioning actors. Nuolan explained with a smile.

Hearing Nuolan's evaluation, Charles's eyes widened slightly.

Nuolan has always been harsh, he is not satisfied with so many auditioning actors, he can't imagine that he has such a high evaluation of a Chinese person now?

Thinking of this, Charles suddenly became curious.
