The next day, Edward received an invitation to audition for the second round.

When Edward and William arrived at Universal Studios, Jackie. Phoenix and the agent also arrived almost at the same time.

The only people who auditioned for the second round were Edward and Jackie. Phoenix two.

The two of them only had time to look at each other a few times, and they didn't even say a word.

There were four people sitting in the audition room, and one seat was empty.

Director: Ridley. Scott, producer Walter. Parks, screenwriter John Brown. Logan.

The film's most important triumvirate is here.

They still valued Commodius more than Edward had imagined.

"Both of you are very good young actors, thank you for coming," Ridley just said a few words, and then turned to the topic, "Today's audition, we will not give a proposition, here are three performances, everyone is free to choose one performance, but no more than ten minutes." ”

Starting with Jacques, William and Edward were invited out first.

The two did not talk, and Edward closed his eyes as he prepared for his performance.

The doors of the Universal are very well insulated, and sitting outside, they can barely hear the sound inside.

It wasn't until about half an hour later that the door opened from the inside. Phoenix came out of it, his eyes slightly red, and the momentum on his body had not subsided.

Obviously, he's just gotten into a very committed show.

Edward and William entered the room, and William consciously sat down on the empty seat next to him.

Edward chose the section where Commodus killed his father, which is also the most difficult of the 3 paragraphs.

Ridley. Scott didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly signaled that Edward could start.

Edward closed his eyes for five seconds, then suddenly opened them.

Several of the auditioners straightened their backs in amazement.

Few actors can give such a strong emotional message without the help of situations and makeup.

Edward's own calm and self-contained demeanor was now gone, replaced by a noble face with a frivolous face, and a small cluster of black flames dancing in his eyes.

Everyone present began to look forward to what he would say and do next.

Edward just closed his eyes, and the expression on his face changed dramatically.

This clean face was slightly raised, showing pure pride.

Everyone was stunned, not understanding why he conveyed a very different quality, and Ridley squinted his eyes and tapped his fingers unconsciously on the table.

At this time, Edward suddenly stood up, his body slightly sideways, his eyes condensed, his lips moved, and then said

"You Wrote to Me"

"There are four main virtues listed above"

"Wisdom"

"Impartiality"

"Fortitude"

"And self-discipline"

Edward choked up and continued.

"After reading the letter, I knew that I didn't have any of them."

Edward bit his lip vigorously

"But I Have Other Virtues, Father"

"Ambition"

Edward also deliberately increased his "ambition"

"It's also a virtue when it drives me to do better."

"Resourcefulness and courage may have nothing to do with marching and fighting, but... There are many kinds of courage..."

"Wholehearted devotion to the family... And love for you..."

"But you don't appreciate all my good qualities at all"

"It's like you don't want a son like me at all"

Edward's choked up grew worse

"I pray to the gods of heaven..."

"So that I can please you, so that you can be proud of me..."

"All it takes is a compliment..."

Edward's voice began to tremble

"Or a hug..."

"Hold me tightly in your arms"

"I want to warm my heart with loving eyes"

"Why do you hate me so much?"

"I don't dare to ask for anything..."

Edward's voice began to twitch a little

"Only to meet your expectations, Caesar, Father"

"Father..."

Edward let out a whisper

"So that you can love me..."

"Even if the world is bloodied, I will not hesitate to do it!"

Edward cried loudly, fully releasing his voice.

Crying with laughter, sometimes wild, sometimes gloomy, sometimes high, sometimes low......

Edward's audition is over.

William let out a slow breath.

I didn't expect Edward to have this level of acting skills, such a good and even crazy performance.

In fact, William had yet to see Edward at full fire.

And now, under his own eyes, in just a few minutes, a gloomy and crazy, weak and pretending to be powerful "Commodus" almost suffocated him.

It was Edward's brilliant moment, with every facial movement, body shape, hand movement, and even voice all showing extraordinary control and contagion.

Why not?

William asked himself, if he was Ridley, why not Edward?

Edward's performance did shock Ridley.

"Edward, it's good. It's kind of interesting! ”

"I mean you're dangerous!"

As if fearing that Edward would not understand, Ridley continued,

"You have been for so many years, and I am one of the few actors who has made me see a trace of dangerous traits after seeing them. This kind of temperament is very rare in Hollywood. ”

Ridley still hasn't said a word, except for Edward, the remaining actors who feel dangerous are Marlon. Brando, Robert. De Niro and Jack. Nicholson!

There is a dangerous feeling about these three superstars.

Danger is not scary, but a trait of a great actor.

In later generations, many people said that Xiao Lizi couldn't win the Oscar because he lacked a "dangerous" aura.

The danger is incredible, the danger is unpredictable, the danger is shocking.

Danger drives you crazy, that's danger!

"Yes, we'll think about it, Edward, anyway, I look forward to working with you, you... You are an unimaginably good actor. ”

Although it is not known what Ridley thinks of Edward's performance, he also shows a clear tendentious attitude.

Jack Queen. On the way back, Phoenix felt it, and felt that he was going to miss this role.

So, I said to my agent.

"I don't want to miss this role, you say, do we want to find my brother's best friend Johnny. Depp helped to dredge up the relationship around the world. ”

"It's useless, Jackie, Edward's uncle is also a CAA senior economist, the godfather is still Spielberg, we can't win off the field, let's not cause unnecessary trouble, let's see other opportunities."

Actually, in Jacques. After both Phoenix and Edward left Universal, several people had already discussed the results of the auditions.

Edward's excellence is undeniable, and he is a madly talented actor who deserves the role.

The performance is very infectious and expressive, which is almost an achievement that can only be achieved by ordinary actors after more than ten years of training.

"Just choose Edward. Fulong, I didn't expect him to have such acting skills now. Ridley lamented.

is indeed a good actor, the screenwriter on the side, John. Logens nodded as well; Producer Walter. Parker is certainly fine, he is a representative of Universal and DreamWorks in his own right.

Besides, Ridley. Scott is the director, the first producer, and the absolute controller of the entire film.
