The throbbing of eagerness made Lan Li a little excited, and he couldn't help but clench his fists to avoid his heart surging too much and deviating from the norm. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although this was only his first Hollywood audition, the woody touch under his feet was no stranger, and the Broadway stage slowly awakened the experience of acting in London's West End for the past few years, and after the brain was at its most active, it calmed down, opened every pore on his body, and greedily breathed the air around him, allowing himself to become one with the stage.

"From left to right, everyone is in order. A voice came from under the stage, succinctly explaining, "After saying your name and age, wait for the next instruction, understand?" The almost substantive look and emotionless tone made the atmosphere of the stage tense and tense, and the other party seemed to be very satisfied with the effect, and immediately announced the start of the audition, "The first place on the left, please come out." ”

The first actor introduced himself in a trembling voice, and the tension of the audition was magnified to the extreme in the empty space of the Broadway theater, the ubiquitous amplification and echo effects created the illusion of tinnitus, and the mental pressure and the dullness of the atmosphere pressed down on his chest like a boulder, and the tension of his vocal cords could be clearly felt.

Lan Li didn't pay attention to other people's auditions, but concentrated on immersing himself in his own thoughts, emptying his brain, even the role, audition, and performance These things are all cleared, trying to achieve a state of calm and full attention, and then keep it.

"Next. ”

Lan Li took a step forward, but did not stop immediately, but went straight to the "T-spot" position in front of the stage, which is the center of the stage and the focus of the spotlight. Standing firm, Lan Li began to introduce himself, "Good afternoon, I'm Lan Li Hall, and I'm twenty years old. "Confident but not ostentatious, concise but not cumbersome.

"Are you British?" an inquiring voice came from the audience, and it was unclear the source of the sound due to the unclear light, "and what about your American accent?"

"Which area?" Lan Li's calm answer caused a small commotion in the audience.

Accents are part of the show, but they are not easy to learn, and Anne-Hathaway's British accent in "Becoming Jane Austen" was met with bad reviews from critics. Even if you are an academy actor, not everyone can capture the subtle differences in accents from different regions, such as the difference between Boston accents and New York accents. Lan Li's answer seemed professional and confident, but it was inevitably a little arrogant.

After a pause, the voice spoke again, "Texas." "It's not a problem, after all, the southern accent is still very pronounced.

"So, I'm auditioning for a Texan who volunteered to join the army?" Lan Li's thick southern mushy accent immediately caught everyone's eyes - not only because of the accuracy of the accent, but also because the contrast between the standard London accent was so strong that it was hard to believe that it was the same person's voice, "I don't know if it was a soldier or an officer? I guess he wasn't a typical cowboy." ”

What's more, Lan Li's words were not easy to come by. He noticed that each actor auditioned for a different role and content, and just now the first actor was asked to perform a wailing and crying, and the second actor was asked to act out the emotion of fear. Therefore, he guessed that the casting director should look for a suitable role according to the appearance and age of each actor, and then start the audition.

Just from the keyword "Texas", Lan Li vaguely outlined the character image.

"Oh, why do you say that?" a curious voice came from the other side, with a faint smile in the words, and turned to look at Tom.

This was the first time Tom had spoken since this group of auditions, and Lan Li could even feel the envious and jealous eyes of the other competitors around him fall on his shoulders, burning a little stinging.

"Because I'm not a typical cowboy. Lan Li's dignified answer caused a low laugh from the audience, and Lan Li rolled up the sleeves of his shirt that had slipped down again, adding, "At least it doesn't look like it." ”

"Haha. Tom couldn't help laughing out loud, the blue gift in front of him really didn't have anything to do with cowboys, with a slender figure, slightly curly short hair, and a shallow smile...... The contradictory temperament of elegance and uninhibitedness, indulgence and restraint is a natural blend, as if it would not be embarrassed even if it is on the streets, "I have no way to argue with that." After a slight pause, "You don't look like a soldier either, at least not in the Pacific theater." ”

This is complaining about Lan Li's British identity - the "Pacific War" focuses on American GIs.

The playful taunt was not sharp, and even had some humor, causing everyone around him to chuckle, but it broke Lan Li's audition rhythm, which was not good news for him. However, Lan Li did not seem flustered, and said calmly, "I only know that Hollywood does not allow gays to play homosexuals, and blacks are not allowed to play blacks, but I never knew that Britons are also forbidden to play Americans." After speaking, the corners of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly, and he said meaningfully, "Interesting." ”

Hollywood also has a black history, and what Lan Li said is true, it has happened, or is happening. The laughter at the scene suddenly became sparse, and everyone's expressions were more or less embarrassed, looking at each other.

Tom rubbed his nose to hide his embarrassment, and Steven, who was sitting next to him, immediately came over to join in the fun, and cried out in pain with "oops", causing the others to lower their heads - it was really hard to hold back the laughter.

Tom made a slap in the eye speechlessly, and Steven quickly looked at the stage, avoiding eye contact, "So, you don't look like a cowboy, you're not an American, you don't even look like a soldier, why did you come to audition?"

Between jokes, Steven dug a hole for Lan Li, and the other alternate actors behind him all showed sympathetic looks, it seems that Lan Li's audition today is going to be ruined.

No, Lan Li spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders innocently, "Because I'm an actor?" The slightly raised tail note seemed to seek everyone's affirmation, and expressed his confusion and helplessness. Poof, Tom slapped his thigh and laughed directly, and Steven, who was sitting next to him, was choked and speechless.

Tom immediately realized his gaffe, and considering that the others around him were struggling to hold back their laughter, he quickly straightened his shirt and said seriously, "Why don't you perform a piece of Shakespeare?"

Tom's words made everyone's laughter still not hold back, and overflowed lowly, because the "Pacific War" had nothing to do with Shakespeare, and Tom was obviously making a joke about the blue ceremony by making such a request—Hollywood's stereotype of British actors has always been about theater and Shakespeare.

Things seem to be going a little off track, and all signs are going in a direction that is not in the direction of Lan Li, and such an audition has become a talk show.

But Lan Li didn't mind at all, instead, he decided to seize this opportunity to show his abilities. Whether he has acting talent or not, now is the time to see the real thing!

Lowering his eyes, adjusting his breathing, almost in the blink of an eye, he had already selected the repertoire, the role, and the number of scenes, and then reawakened the memory of those lines in the depths of his mind.

Tom's smile slowly retracted, and he turned to look at the casting director, signaling that the other party could continue with the audition, generally speaking, the performance content of the audition is formulated by the casting director, and Tom and Steven sit here more to provide reference.

Lan Li's excellent accent change just now attracted Tom's attention and became a small conflection between him and Steven, but this was just a small wave, in the world of Hollywood, there are countless actors who can be called talents and even geniuses, one more, no less, no less, nothing to make a fuss about, such a wave quickly calmed down.

Tom opened his mouth, but before the voice could be heard, he saw Steven's body leaning forward slightly, and the eyes hidden behind the lenses became more focused than ever, and he could even faintly see the burst of interest, which made Tom reflexively turn his head and look at the stage again.

I saw that Lan Li, who was standing in the center of the stage, had undergone a wonderful change, not that he changed his clothes or stretched his movements, but a temperament change that could not be described in words.

At this time, Lan Li was still standing upright, due to the height difference between the stage and the audience, it set off the majesty of the whole body more and more, but the slightly tight shoulder lines outlined a touch of pathetic grandeur between the light and shadow, it seemed that you could feel the surging emotions suppressed in the depths of her heart, so sad that she couldn't help herself but still barely supported it, and a few changes made the aura of the entire stage quietly precipitate.

Tom couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, put down Erlang's legs, and looked at the stage intently. Then, Lan Li raised his head.

Lan Li's stiff footsteps staggered two steps to the side, and the mourning between his eyebrows and eyes surged up, and was then replaced by a wave of anger, like the sea under a storm, calm and palpitating, "Ah, great Caesar, have you fallen like this?" The grief-stricken emotions were so fragile that they seemed to shatter at the touch of a touch, and the majesty of the mountain rain and the wind burst out in the long and dragging shadow, "Have all your great deeds, all your glorious victories, come to naught?"

The tall body was almost unable to support it, and collapsed violently, and as soon as his knees were weak, he knelt on one knee on the ground, relying only on his hands stubbornly to support, "Goodbye! Brave men, I don't know what you mean, and there are still people who seem to be poisonous in your eyes, and should be bloodletted for him." The desperate and tragic words carried a hint of indignation, and even the faint sound of gnashing teeth could be heard, "If it were me, then I could have died at the same hour as Caesar, and let the sword in your hand stained with the noblest blood in the world end my life, it really couldn't be better!"

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked sharply at the audience, and the burning gaze pierced the eyes of every audience member as if it were substance, and the unhesitating determination and firm righteousness were projected awe-inspiringly, making everyone ashamed of themselves and afraid to look at them directly.

Three lines, just three lines, the emotions of everyone in the audience were twisted into a rope, firmly controlled in the hands of one person: the unique figure in the center of the stage.

For an instant, there was silence.
