Chapter 1031: Charlize. Theron's Road to Fame (4)
Although Hollywood casting rules require a combination of man and woman, and the presence of Screen Actors Guild staff must be present, if the director invites you privately, can you refuse?
In fact, no matter what kind of director, it is extremely common for new actors to "stretch their claws" on new actors, and Peter Coau, a reporter for the Boston Globe, once described that in Hollywood, "everyone is selling their bodies and souls for fame and fortune, and everyone is treated as a commodity, especially women". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This "unspoken rule" is known in Hollywood as the "Casting.couch", and the "victims" are usually young actors who are eager to become famous.
There's a famous joke in Hollywood that if the casting director asks you, "Give you thirty seconds, how are you going to make me remember you?" ”
Everyone understands that this is a hint, and regardless of gender, 80% of the actors will choose to strip naked, of course, the more elegant will dance a striptease, the less elegant will directly sit in the arms of the casting director, and the reserved ones will hand over their phone numbers, and only a few will choose to turn away.
Charlize Theron has certainly been to this kind of thing, and more than once, when she first came to Hollywood at the age of 19, she received an invitation to audition from a producer for the first time, and although she thought it was a little strange at the time, because the audition was on Saturday night at the couple's home in Los Angeles, she thought it was normal.
The producer, dressed in pajamas like Hugh Hefner (the founder of Playboy), entered the room and gave her a glass of wine, and she thought, "Oh my God! ”
But soon it became clear that her reaction was to flee quickly, she never thought of selling her body to get the role, when she shouted angrily outside the door: "There is no way to do this! Dude, you have picked the wrong person!"
Until she rejected a Hollywood bigwig producer again, she was banned, then she became silent, and then she became accustomed to it, she was not angry, she clung to the bottom line and pursued her dream of being an actor, but no matter how hard she tried, she never got any role, not even a vase.
Charlize Theron's heart flooded with a thousand memories, she turned around, showed a complicated smile and asked, "Director Cheng, what is the matter?"
Of course, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know what Charlize Theron was thinking, so he just asked in a flat tone: "Can you show the emotion of fear and fear?"
Charlize Theron breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was a performance request, and she said, "Because I don't have a script at hand, what do you need is the fear of that feeling? It's better to set up an environment for me....."
Cheng Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "Well, if you are alone at home, and suddenly you see a ghost ......"
Charlize Theron continued to ask: "I think different people will react differently when they encounter this kind of thing, how is the character of this character set?"
Cheng Xiaoyu was not impatient, but had some good feelings about Charlize Theron's seriousness, he smiled and said to her: "Just make a reaction that most people will have!"
Charlize Theron closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then opened her eyes and made a gesture of taking the key out of her bag to open the door, she entered her virtual home, first turned on the light, then shook off the high heels on her feet, and then took off her coat, revealing her perfect body and deep ravine.
The whole screening room was silent, and only Charlize Theron gave people access to the screen, walking back and forth in the screening room barefoot, every movement indicating exactly what she was doing.
Until she opened the refrigerator, apparently she saw something scary in the refrigerator, at this moment she let out a slight tremble, took a few steps back, accidentally fell to the ground, and then let out a sharp cry, turned around and crawled towards the door, she stood up and opened the door, but the door could not be opened, and when she twisted the door lock, she also opened her eyes from time to time to look back with a frightened look.
Cheng Xiaoyu saw that if he didn't stop the door lock of the audition room, he was afraid that Charlize Theron would shake it, so he hurriedly said, "Okay! Miss Charlize ......"
Charlize Theron immediately stopped her sabotage, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked back to the center of the audition room, she couldn't get any information about whether she was acting well or not from Cheng Xiaoyu's calm eyes, but she felt that she had acted quite well.
In Cheng Xiaoyu's opinion, Charlize Theron's performance is indeed okay, at least it doesn't make people feel like a play, but there is still a gap between her rank and Catherine Blanchett's.
Katherine Blanchett's performance in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4" impressed Cheng Xiaoyu very deeply, she can directly convey the fear in her heart to the audience through subtle changes in facial expressions, that is to say, "there is drama in the eyes".
To judge whether an actor is top-notch, it depends on whether there is drama in her eyes, and the so-called eye drama is actually done by controlling the expression through the muscles of the face.
However, Charlize Theron's performance is quite good, and he should be able to become a good actor in time.
Cheng Xiaoyu still thinks that looking too beautiful is an obstacle for Charlize Theron, and it is also a disadvantageous factor for this movie, many scenes in this movie need the heroine's acting skills to support, because the male protagonist often has to hold a DV camera, if the heroine's performance is not good enough, this movie can be said to be not smashed, so the heroine's performance is very important.
And in such a movie, the actors are too beautiful, it is easy to distract the audience, pay too much attention to the actress and ignore the feeling that the camera needs to convey to the audience.
Cheng Xiaoyu thought for a moment, but still planned to give Charlize Theron a chance, he asked: "I have a DV movie on hand now, I need a heroine, and the shooting period is about a week, are you interested?"
David Gill and Dutt Brown both turned their heads and looked at Cheng Xiaoyu in amazement, although they all knew that Cheng Xiaoyu challenged Peter Kopla on "Whispering", but everyone thought it was just a joke.
David Gill even felt that Cheng Xiaoyu was too rash to say such a remark casually, he felt that Peter Kopla was right, and it was irresponsible for Cheng Xiaoyu to really do this.
"Even Stavon Bell can't make a good movie for a week. That's what David Gill really thinks, and that's what all Hollywood people think.
Wang Ou, who was on the side, heard Cheng Xiaoyu's words, and asked with some surprise: "Do you really want to fight that shameless old thief of Peter Kopla?"
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't care about the questioning eyes around him, and said lightly: "It's not purely for lifting, it's because I suddenly came up with a good idea, so I plan to experiment it." ”
Charlize Theron, who has been paying attention to Cheng Xiaoyu, of course, also knows that Cheng Xiaoyu challenged Peter Kopla, and at this moment she was not dizzy by this sudden joy, but she was a little apprehensive in her heart, because Cheng Xiaoyu just revealed two points, this is a DV movie, and the filming cycle of this movie is only one week.
After being in Hollywood for so long, Charlize Theron certainly understands what this means, such a movie can't be in theaters, but she doesn't think she needs to be entangled, no matter what kind of opportunity she has to seize, even if it's just a DV movie, but at least it's a starring role, or a film by a hot director in Hollywood today.
But she was a little skeptical, would this director pretend to shoot a DV movie and subtly rule himself?
But on second thought, she had no reason to refuse anyway!
Charlize Theron pressed his doubts and hurriedly said, "Of course I'm interested.... No, I'd love to ......" Charlize Theron then asked a little nervously, "This won't affect my performance in the movie I'm auditioning for now, right?"
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't think about this, but he planned to set a test for Charlize Theron, so he said: "You can only choose one of the two, you are the heroine in a DV movie, and this movie is mainly your role, and you are just a supporting role in a comedy movie, and the appearance will not exceed ten minutes......"
Charlize Theron was a little confused when he heard this, and he didn't remember to put on his shoes while standing in the middle of the audition room.
Cheng Xiaoyu showed a playful smile again and said: "The salary of DV movies will not be very high!"
If Cheng Xiaoyu didn't say this, maybe Charlize Theron would have to struggle for a while, when he heard Cheng Xiaoyu say this, his heart flashed like a flash of inspiration, isn't his dream to become a heroine?
And this is a movie that Cheng Xiaoyu uses to argue with Peter Kopla, and it is impossible for Cheng Xiaoyu not to be serious.
Thinking of this, Charlize Theron said with some excitement: "It's okay..... I'll do the first one, your DV movie. At this time, "Charlize Theron's inner OS is that it doesn't matter if you don't pay the film, you can post it upside down!
Cheng Xiaoyu closed Charlize Theron's resume, then stood up and said: "Okay, I will contact you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at the latest, remember to ask for leave....." For him, although there are still some roles to choose later, his audition has been completed, and the rest of the work will be left to David.
Although Charlize Theron was excited, his expression was still very calm and calm, he picked up the coat that fell aside, and then said to Cheng Xiaoyu calmly and confidently: "Choose me, you will not be disappointed." Then she turned around handsomely and walked directly outside, in fact, at this moment her heart was already excited and almost jumped out of her chest.
Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Charlize Theron's slender back, and had to shake her head and shout again: "Miss Charlize!"
Charlize Theron turned her head a little puzzled, her heart of joy swayed to the bottom, at this time only Cheng Xiaoyu was standing, she thought: Could it be that now he can't wait to go to the hotel with me?
Tough refusal? Or are you dealing with this unseemly director after agreeing?
Charlize Theron's heart fluctuated, all kinds of thoughts were intertwined, all kinds of imminent situations flashed back in her mind, and even she thought of Cheng Xiaoyu After making a request, she poured coffee on Cheng Xiaoyu's body, and then said arrogantly: "I want to act in your movie, but it's just about acting in your movie, if you think that you can do anything to me with this, you are wrong! I will not give in! Even if I can't be an actor in this life, I will not give in to you hypocrites!" ”
When these pictures appeared in her mind, Charlize Theron even had tears in her eyes, feeling that she was too fortunate to fight against this malicious world, in fact, as long as someone like Cheng Xiaoyu is willing to pursue her, she thinks that she has nothing unacceptable, rich, background, talented, and handsome, who would not like such a man?
But she can't accept her body as a trade, so blatantly trampling on her dignity.
At this moment, Charlize Theron's expression was very serious, she felt that she was about to explode, but she still suppressed the power she wanted to spew out, smiled ugly and said: "Director Cheng, can I treat you to a cup of coffee? ”
Everyone knows what it means for an actress to make such an invitation to the director.
David Gill and Dutt Brown on the side even smiled ambiguously at Cheng Xiaoyu.
Cheng Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Charlize Theron and said with a smile: "No, no! Your shoes, don't forget to wear ......"
Charlize Theron looked down at his feet, and sure enough, the shiny Dior heels were still on the side, and he was so excited that he completely forgot about it, and he was standing barefoot in the doorway holding the doorknob......
Several people at the interview table were holding back smiles....... The scene was very awkward for a while.
Charlize Theron's face turned red from her cheeks to the base of her neck, she quickly put on her shoes, and then opened the door and escaped from the audition room without looking back......
At this time, she had only one thought in her heart: "This is really embarrassing!"
