Chapter 32: Audition (2)
Seeing the name of the movie, the corners of Pudding's eyes twitched slightly, and he thought in his head: "What kind of ghost movie is this?"
Instantly figured out Katie's intention of bringing herself here, to be an animal actor! Speaking of which there are not a few movies starring animals, the more famous ones are "The Tale of Hachiko the Loyal Dog", "Jungle Pure Heart", "Tiger Brother and Tiger Brother", etc., and some animals have become stars in one fell swoop because of the movie, helping the owner earn a lot of money.
Du Yu has seen a lot, some of which are very good, such as "The Tale of the Loyal Dog Hachiko", I have seen countless people cry, but it is a pity that there are inherent problems in letting animals be actors, they are different from humans, and they can't figure out what the director wants.
This has led to more and more computer-synthesized animal characters in recent years, such as "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", "Garfield", "Penguins of Madagascar", etc., some of which are synthetic images, and some are purely cartoons, and the audience is quite wide.
Du Yu was a little resistant, but thinking about how boring his recent days had been after becoming a cat, he instantly woke up again and felt that it was good to find something to do.
Persian cats, Himalayan snow lynx, British short, etc., almost any kind of cat can be found here, and there is even a Canadian hairless cat, the owner of these cats can easily hold them, and Katie has to use her hands, her face has begun to turn pale, the pudding is too heavy, relying on her weight to crush the whole audience, more than a tonnage heavier than the cats on the scene.
Du Yu was staring at the Canadian hairless cat, thinking: "God, if I look like this, I guess I will commit suicide by jumping off the building on the first day, how can there be such an ugly cat?"
The other party did not conform to his aesthetics at all, and after looking around, he was extremely satisfied with his appearance, and he occasionally looked in the mirror recently, and even Du Yu would be cute by himself.
Faced with the strange cats on the scene, Miss Winona leaned into Katie's ear and whispered: "Pudding's chances of winning have increased again, and it still looks like it is the cutest, I think the director will choose Pudding, provided that his eyes are okay." ”
Whether it's Winona or Katie, these two girls who grew up in London, have a distinct British accent in their intonation, which looks charming compared to the accents of other regions.
Katie is not confident, she thinks that Pudding's appearance is qualified and suitable for filming, but acting in movies is not only about appearance, "acting" is also very important.
Whispered back, "I hope that, as you say, why would so many people bring cats over for auditions?"
Miss Winona shrugged her shoulders and made a helpless expression: "Why else, pounds, whoever chooses the cat will get two million pounds in salary, and in the end it will not fall into the hands of their owners."
Didn't I tell you about it? Well, I seem to have forgotten to tell you, the screenwriter is a friend of mine, and I happened to see her send a message asking for the cat protagonist, and when it came to the audition, I immediately thought of the pudding, and I had already sent her a photo. ”
"Two million pounds, oh my God, that's that high!" the figure was unexpected, and Katie asked, "So did your friend say anything after seeing the picture?"
Winona smiled and told her, "Who can resist the temptation of this fat cat? Not to mention that Pudding is also very topical, and many people know about it, so this cat has the best chance!"
Du Yu was eavesdropping.
The salary of two million pounds is enough to cheer him up and no longer have an attitude of indifference.
Although he can't spend money, as long as he enters the account, it's not his own money? For the first time in his life, there is an opportunity to make so much money, and the hair on his body explodes, secretly thinking that he will definitely kill the other cats!
I never thought that one day I would have to compete for "jobs" with a group of cats at the same time, trying to recall the movies I had watched before starring animals, well...... It seems that there is nothing to learn from, it is really just animals.
When he was still a human being, if he encountered something like today, he would definitely not have the confidence to stand out from the crowd if he had never studied acting, but today's audition was to compete with the cats! If this can be defeated, he feels that he should find a tree and hang himself, so as not to say that he will be embarrassed, no, lose the cat!
Miss Winona unexpectedly learned about today's audition, so she called Katie and brought the pudding to the interview.
This is also related to Katie's own interests, after all, the more attention those social accounts have, the more money she makes.
Katie made some money this summer, but she is still a little short of paying for college, and she has a lot of brains to make Pudding have more fans through hot news, and how to create a topic is a deep knowledge.
Now she is tightly tied to the interests of Pudding, and Katie is not greedy, she just wants to earn her own tuition and living expenses.
Although her mind is smart enough, it is a pity that she is not considered the top in the talent-rich University College London, and she did not get a full scholarship, otherwise she would have sacrificed her study time to work.
Luckily, Katie managed to get a good job and dutifully took on the role of shoveler.
……
The interview has begun, Winona knows the screenwriter, but they still lined up very well, and after submitting the materials and getting the number plate, the ninety-seventh, came a little late, and now the eighth is called.
When you are a star, you have a small investment and a high return, talent, appearance, and luck are very important, once you become famous, you almost don't have to worry about money anymore, it is not surprising to attract so many shovel officials, and the probability is much greater than buying a lottery ticket to win.
This is only the first day of the audition, there are many cat owners have arrived, the hotel lobby is full of people, it can be seen that the hotel manager is helpless, so many cats, it is inevitable to leave some liquid or solid, the smell is not good.
Wait for a while, about two or three minutes to interview one, the owner and the cat participate in the audition at the same time, the crew needs to worry about the idea of the shovel officer, what impact will it have on the shooting.
Compared with the audition, Du Yu is more curious about his wife, that is, who plays the heroine of the movie, since the movie is called "My Husband is a Cat", how can there be a lack of heroines, and I didn't find the poster description after looking around.
The two girls went for coffee, and it went with them, and walked right behind Katie.
When I felt that the time was almost up, I rushed back to the audition site, and just called the ninety-fiveth, and there was still one left, so it was Pudding's turn to play.
Du Yu wanted to know the content of the interview, and when he came to the door, he poked his head and peeked in, and a middle-aged tall and thin man was attracted by its actions, and his eyes lit up when he saw Pudding's fat figure.
patted the hand of the woman next to her, pointed to the pudding for her to see, and waved her hand to let the old woman holding the hairless cat leave first.
Other cats don't know what he means, how could Du Yu not know, he was a little proud in his heart, and deliberately made a funny expression, probably like this: (づ ̄3 ̄)づ.
