At ten o'clock in the morning, the audition for "Forrest Gump" officially kicked off, and John, Nancy, Joanna, Francis Ford Coppola, and Martin Scorsese sat in a row in the audition room, waiting for the actors to enter the audition.

The first person to come in for an audition was Tom Hanks, a famous Hollywood actor who is still only a second-tier actor, and has not yet won an Oscar, nor has he starred in "Forrest Gump", "Once Upon a Time in Philadelphia", and "Saving Private Ryan".

"Hello, Mr. Hanks, please be seated ....... John gestured to the chair in the center of the audition room.

"Thanks... Thank....... Tom Hanks nodded in surprise. He originally thought that this audition would be very ordinary and not difficult. But he didn't expect to see two palace-level directors as soon as he came in, which made him feel pressure in his heart all of a sudden.

"Mr. Hanks, this is your audition script, you have half an hour to figure out the script, and when the half hour is up, we'll start auditioning!" John said as he saw Tom Hanks sit down. Each actor who participates in the audition will get a small part of the script of the role he wants to play, which has a small movie plot, as well as character descriptions, scene descriptions, and storyboard scripts, which are mainly used for the actors to audition.

"Okay!" Tom Hanks nodded nervously. I took the script from Sophia and read it.

Half an hour later, Tom Hanks gestured to John. "Director Chris Deng! I'm ready!"

"Sophia, you go and get ready for a show with Mr. Hanks. John looked at the nervous appearance of the famous superstar Tom Hanks in the future, and his heart was secretly refreshed, the reason why he wanted to invite Francis Ford Coppola was to shock the actors of "Forrest Gump", and from Tom Hanks's performance, this effect is not bad.

Sophia, who was on the side, nodded after hearing John's words, walked up to Tom Hanks with a piece of paper and prepared for the play, and when she auditioned later, she would play opposite Tom Hanks.

After ten minutes of preparation, Sophia gestured to John. "John!

"Let's start then!" John nodded.

“action……。 ”

With the beginning slogan remembered, Tom Hanks and Sophia entered the role, Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump and Sophia as Jenny. And the storyline they want to play is a plot in which Jenny sings half-naked in a bar, is taken advantage of by a group of scoundrels, and is rescued by Forrest Gump, and the two walk to the bridge.

Jenny, played by Sophia, said helplessly as she walked: "You can't do this all the time, Forrester." You can't keep trying to save me. ”

Forrest Gump, played by Tom Hanks, replied stupidly: "They just wanted to arrest you." ”

“cut……！”

Just after Tom Hanks finished his lines, Martin Scorsese, who was sitting in the audition stand, shouted a stop. "Tom Hanks, you're a little nervous, relax, it's just a tryout. ”

"Good director!" Tom Hanks exhaled, trying to calm himself down, but he was still a little nervous when he saw Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola in the audition stand.

"Are you ready?" John said as he looked at Tom Hanks.

"Alright!" Tom Hanks nodded.

"That's ready ......"

“action……！”

With John's command, the audition begins again.

Jenny said helplessly as she walked, "You can't do this all the time, Forrester. You can't keep trying to save me. ”

Forrest Gump replied stupidly, "They just wanted to arrest you." ”

Jenny looked back at Forrest Gump and said unhappily, "A lot of people want to arrest me, but you can't do it all the time!"

Forrest Gump heard Jenny's words and said with a serious face: "I can't help it, I love you ......." ”

“cut……。 ”

This time, the stop was called by John, because Tom Hanks was still a little nervous, which caused his face to be a little stiff and out of sync with the lines.

"I'm sorry, Director!" Tom Hanks quickly apologized knowing that he had a problem.

"It's okay! take a break!" John felt that he had dug a hole for himself, he originally wanted to use the palace-level director to suppress the actors, but he didn't expect the pressure of the two palace-level directors to be so great that Tom Hanks, who was known for his acting skills, couldn't act.

At the same time, John was also secretly glad that he didn't invite George Lucas, otherwise the coercion would have increased a lot, and it would definitely give him a headache at that time.

"Tom Hanks, did you see me sitting here with Director Scorsese, so you were a little nervous?" Francis Ford Coppola, as a veteran, already saw the problem with Tom Hanks.

"It's a little," replied Tom Hanks.

"Oh...... Tom Hanks!" Martin Scorsese said as he got up from his seat and walked over to Tom Hanks. "Can I call you Tom?"

Tom Hanks nodded.

"Don't worry!" Martin Scorsese patted Tom Hanks on the shoulder. "An actor has to be confident, no matter who is in front of you, you have to be confident and believe that you are the best. ”

Tom Hanks nodded at Martin Scorsese's words, and at the same time felt a weight on his shoulders that calmed his nervous mind.

"Director, I can!" said Tom Hanks, standing up and looking at Martin Scorsese.

"Alright! Let's get started!" Martin Scorsese said, walking back to the audition stand and taking a seat.

“action……！”

Jenny said helplessly as she walked, "You can't do this all the time, Forrester. You can't keep trying to save me. ”

Forrest Gump replied stupidly, "They just wanted to arrest you." ”

Jenny looked back at Forrest Gump and said unhappily, "A lot of people want to arrest me, but you can't do it all the time!"

Forrest Gump heard Jenny's words, and said with a serious face: "I can't help it, I love you ......." ”

When Jenny heard Forrest Gump's words, she said helplessly, "Forrester......! As he spoke, he turned his back to Forrest Gump. "Do you remember our prayers, Forrester! We prayed that God would turn me into a bird so that I could fly far. ”

Forrest Gump replied affirmatively, "Yes! ”

Jenny took a step, looked ahead and said, "Do you think I can fly off this bridge?"

Forrest Gump suddenly took a nervous step towards Jenny. "What do you say! ”

Jenny replied blandly, "It's nothing. ”

“cut……！”

This time John called a halt not because something was wrong, but because the audition was over.

Although Tom Hanks's performance is still very jerky, it is good to be able to interpret the dull feeling of Forrest Gump in the role in a short time.

"Mr. Hanks, you're doing a great job!" John said as he looked at Tom Hanks.

"Thank you!" replied Tom Hanks.

"Mr. Hanks!" "Forrest Gump" will start filming in May next year, do you have time at this time?" John asked.

"There's time!" Tom Hanks nodded.

"Mr. Hanks, if you get the role of Forrest Gump, the crew will arrange for you to live in a low-IQ welfare home for a month, can you agree to this?" John asked again.

"That's fine!" Tom Hanks agreed without thinking, because even if the crew didn't arrange it, he would go himself. If an actor wants to play a role well, it is not enough to rely on acting skills alone, he must be familiar with the role he plays, and he is familiar with the role and the role is himself.

"Okay, you can go back in a minute, and the crew will give you an answer tomorrow. John saw Tom Hanks.

"Okay! Thank you!" Tom Hanks nodded toward the audition stand and walked out of the audition booth.
