Chapter 434: Auditions and Acting (Subscription Requested)

Ask for recommended tickets and commuter passes!

Walking out of the audition room, Alexandra Daddario breathed a sigh of relief, pursed her lips tightly and walked forward, turning the corner of the hallway, she found a black actress coming up to her, this black actress was about the same height as her, and like most black women, she was quite ugly.

At least that's what she thinks.

Alexandra Daddario is getting closer and closer to the black actress, who is obviously also observing her, with a rather sharp gaze that seems to have a grudge against her.

But there were still crew members in the hallway, and the black actress was just glaring at her with hostile eyes.

The two passed by, and Alexandra Daddario heard the black actress snort coldly, but did not respond.

She knew who this black actress was, and she knew why she was so hostile, but looking at her more than once, it felt like a waste, just like a girl from her background never cared what black people in Queens thought of her.

Alexandra D'Addario walked out of the audition office building without looking back, joined Helen Herman, who was waiting at the door, and walked towards the studio together.

"How's the audition?" asked Helen Herman with concern.

"It's okay. Alexandra D'Addario thought for a moment and said, "Matthew nodded at me when the audition was over. ”

Helen Herman replied and said, "Judging by Matthew's attitude, you should have a good chance of getting the role." ”

Alexandra D'Addario remembered what had just happened and said, "When I came over, I met Paula Barton. ”

"This is your main competitor. Helen Herman said directly, "The person recommended by director Francis Lawrence." ”

Alexandra Daddario had heard Matthew mention it before and asked, "If I win, will the director make things difficult for me on the set?"

Helen Herman didn't think about it, and said, "Definitely, he's going to get in trouble not only with you, but also with Matthew." ”

Alexandra D'Addario was a little distressed, "Will this bother Matthew?"

Regardless, Matthew has been helping him all along, from initially getting his first role on the crew of "Tales of the Night", to a supporting role in "Dawn of the Living Dead", to this audition, if it weren't for Matthew, she probably wouldn't have had these opportunities.

Helen Herman shook her head, "It's okay, Matthew can handle it." ”

This circle is already full of battles, everyone wants to be the most high-profile one in the circle, and in the crew, everyone wants to get the heavyweight right to speak.

The example of an actor overpowering a director is not uncommon in the circle, but there is a fact, even she can't deny that people who are engaged in the industry of directing, in treating actors, even if they are star actors, always have a psychological advantage because of their profession, which also leads to most directors being unwilling to be pressed down by actors.

In Hollywood, once a fight has begun, it is often difficult to defuse.

Most people in this circle, in the process of getting up, have experienced too many difficulties, and often value fame and fortune more than people in other industries.

She doesn't know exactly how Francis Lawrence is, but Matthew is the kind of person who will never let it go lightly once his interests are touched.

She is also a senior agent, and she sees this circle very clearly, don't look at the kindness and kindness of big stars in front of the media and the public, in fact, the bigger the star, the more fame and fortune are often valued.

Helen Herman is well aware that Matthew will never easily let Francis Lawrence's goals be achieved.

"Miss Barton, that's all for today. ”

In the audition room, the casting director called out Paula Barton's audition, and then said to Paula Barton, "I will notify your agent of the results of the audition by Friday." ”

"Thank you. ”

Paula Barton smiled and walked towards the audition room door, and before leaving, she glanced at Matthew, who was sitting next to producer Aziva Gosman, and knew very well that this was the biggest obstacle to winning a supporting actress, she was thirty years old this year, and there was not much time to waste.

As a black actor, a director like Francis Lawrence is undoubtedly where the opportunity lies.

The audition room door closed, Matthew sat there, and didn't speak, and frankly, when measured purely by her acting skills at the audition, Paula Barton was significantly higher than Alexandra D'Addario.

Paula Barton's acting skills aren't that good, but Alexandra Daddario is even worse.

Having said that, an actor of this type like Alexandra D'Addario, no matter how good his acting skills are, will be dragged down by the two balls on his chest and become bad acting skills.

David didn't speak, just glanced at Matthew, several Warner Bros. executives, recently watched some shots of Zack Snyder's "Three Hundred Spartan Warriors", and praised Matthew as the actor, and even Charles Rowan, a famous producer under Warner Bros., thought that Matthew's charm in the film was almost comparable to Tom Cruise.

Box office stars are also a scarce resource in Hollywood.

Director Francis Lawrence also didn't speak, and the audition showed one thing, Paula Barton, whom he recommended, beat Alexandra D'Addario, whom Matthew Horner recommended.

That Alexandra D'Addario, who is simply nothing except for a bigger boobs than Paula Patton, can such a person be considered an actor?

The gap between the two auditions is quite obvious, and if Aziva Gossman does not choose Paula Barton in this case, he really has to doubt the professionalism of Aziva Gosman as a producer.

Francis Lawrence glanced at Matthew with a subtle smile, and from his perspective as a director, Paula Barton had won.

Matthew sensed the eye that Francis Lawrence glanced at and knew that from a purely actor-director perspective, Alexandra D'Addario was really not a good actor.

But he is not in a hurry at all, compared to Francis Lawrence, who has not been in the advertising and MV circle for a long time to enter the film industry, he knows more about the Hollywood circle, has more experience, and knows better that the crew's selection of actors is often affected by external factors.

is like the Oscar, the actor with the best acting skills may not be the final winner.

Besides, Paula Barton's acting skills are just a little better than a pure vase like Alexandra Daddario, which is not very good in itself.

Aziva Gosman watched the audition video again at this time, waved his hand, and several staff members who assisted in the audition quickly left, and even the casting director took the initiative to leave.

The casting director knew that he had no say in the role, and he didn't want to speak, neither the actor nor the director wanted to offend.

The door to the audition room opened and closed, and Aziva Gosman didn't immediately mean to show his attitude, asking, "What do you guys think?"

In addition to him, there are only three people here: Matthew, David and Francis Lawrence.

"Both of them have their own strengths. David glanced at Matthew, thought about it, and decided to tell the truth for the time being, "Alexandra Daddario has a better appearance, and Paula Barton has a better acting skills." ”

"Isn't it better, right?" Francis Lawrence heard David say that he had to be a little better, and immediately spoke, "Paula Patton's acting skills are obviously more than a cut above Alexandra Daddario, Alexandra Daddario doesn't know how to act at all, and only shows off her figure and face in front of the camera!"

David frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

Aziva Gosman nodded slightly, Francis Lawrence was telling the truth, after all, the audition had just been completed, and there was a video of the audition in front of him, so it was clear which was better and which was inferior.

Seeing that Aziva Gossman recognized his statement, Francis Lawrence continued, "For this supporting actress, what we need is an actor, not a female vase who only poses to highlight her breasts, otherwise we will definitely bear the criticism of the media and the audience in the selection of actors!"

Matthew listened to these words, never uttered, seemingly powerless to refute Francis Lawrence's views.

Francis Lawrence also glanced at Matthew's side, saw that he had nothing to say, realized that the result of this audition was already leaning towards his side, and hurriedly said, "In the supporting actress, using a minority actor is also conducive to attracting minority audiences." ”

"Hmm. Aziva Gossman nodded again, "That makes sense." ”

The results of the audition were clear that Paula Patton was indeed a better fit for the role than Alexandra Daddario.

Francis Lawrence smiled a little, "A professional actor can also save us a lot of time during filming, and time can be directly equated with money for film shooting." ”

The audition video is here, and these words really make Matthew unable to refute, and Alexandra Daddario's acting skills are a little better than when he first entered the industry.

Aziva Gosman looked at Matthew, "What about your opinion?"

Francis Lawrence stared at Matthew's side, he wanted to see what else he could say in front of such an obvious audition.

Of course, Matthew has something to say, but he understands that if he is ready, the less people know, the better, after thinking for a while, he slowly shook his head, but still said, "In the choice of actors for this role, it is best to be cautious." ”

He reminded, "Isn't there another audition tomorrow? ”

David also said, "The results of the auditions will definitely not be decided until all the auditions are over. ”

Aziva Gosman nodded, "Alright, we'll be here for today." ”
