Chris's little fan mentality was finally defeated by a hungry stomach, and after a while he came out of the chaos in his head. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoSince I am going to take the road of showbiz, sooner or later I will meet some people that I once dared not look up to, and now I have to slowly get used to these things. He thought to himself, and his hands were not slow, and the ribs, steaks, chicken, potatoes, onions, carrots, etc., were all taken out of the bag. "Looks like I'm going to show off my skills today, haha......" He smiled and took the ingredients to the kitchen to prepare, humming a small tune while busy, looking like he was in a very good mood.

After a while, the table was filled with all kinds of meals, such as braised pork ribs, potato beef, fish-flavored shredded pork and other absolutely authentic Chinese home-cooked dishes. For a time, the whole house was filled with an enticing aroma. Looking at the food on the table, Chris sighed softly, who would have thought that since he married his wife, this was the first time he had cooked so many dishes by himself, and now it was really a little lonely to eat alone. Picking up a fork (no chopsticks found) picked up a piece of ribs and gnawed it, it was still the same taste, and Chris nodded secretly in his heart. It's just that I don't know if it's a little hurt, I'm already hungry, and now I'm busy for a long time, and now I don't have much appetite in the face of so many mouth-watering dishes.

Chris hurriedly ate a few pieces of meat, cleaned up the table, and after a short rest, his eyes returned to the "American Beauty" material on the bed. He believes that as long as he takes this movie, his career in Hollywood will be very different. Alas, it's better to prepare! Thinking about it, Chris walked to the side of the bed and solemnly picked up the information, slowly flipping through it......

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the day of audition for the crew of "American Beauty" has arrived, although Chris has auditioned for film and television dramas several times before, but it is indeed the first time for Li Ping. So, when he saw Eren again, his heart was not as calm as he seemed on the surface.

"Bad news, Chris, we have a strong contender. I've been informed that Jack Gyllenhaal is interested in playing Ricky," Allen said as he started the car, frowning and clearly angry at the news, "but don't worry, Bruce Cohen promised me that he would give you a chance, and you just had to give your best at the audition." ”

The audition took place at the famous Sofitel Hotel, which has arranged two connected king-size suites for the crew, which is particularly tall and reflects the importance the producers attach to the production. When Chris and Alan arrived, the service staff who arranged the audition work, asked Chris to fill out the information, and then took Chris to a special waiting area, while Alan went to talk to someone he knew.

Chris took a brief look around, and there were about forty or fifty people auditioning for the role of Richie, and even the large hotel rooms seemed a little crowded. He doesn't know most of them, and some of them are familiar, probably second- and third-tier actors who are not very famous. After browsing around, Chris found Jake Gyllenhaal sitting in a corner of the room, talking and laughing with several actors, including Wes Bentley. Jack came from a family of filmmakers, and his parents were directors and producers in Hollywood. And Weiss is the original actor of Li Ping's world Richie.

"These two people may be my biggest contenders, but I'm sorry, I must get this role." Chris secretly made up his mind. As a proper newcomer, there was no one who was familiar with him to come and chat with him, his eyes simply swept around, and he found a corner and sat down. The staff gave him very little audition information, but I believe that the audition will never be so simple. Chris was a little worried when he came, but now he's calming down. He has been preparing for this role for a whole week, and he believes that no one can compare to him in his understanding and control of the role.

The auditions were conducted in the order of arrival, and the auditions were fast, and by the time the staff called out Chris's name, there were not many people waiting in the room. Chris straightened out and followed the staff to the audition room unhurriedly. There was only one table and some photographic equipment in the room, and three people, two men and one woman, sat across the table. Ritchie's supporting role played a big role in this production, and the film's director, Sam Mendes, and producer, Bruce Cohen, came to audition in person. The woman is a notary public of the actors' union, in order to ensure the fairness and justice of this casting. Of course, Chris will not believe that this audition will be really fair and just, after all, he can only come through by relationships. Although there were not many people in the audition room, in the face of the cold camera, Chris's heart still beat "suddenly", and he quickly took a few deep breaths in an effort to calm himself down.

"Let's introduce myself briefly." Sure enough, Bruce Cohen motioned for him to sit down, then he gave him an encouraging look and smiled.

When Chris finished introducing himself, director Sam Menders was expressionless, just looking through his resume, and then two eyes pinned to his face, looking back and forth, as if to think about the fit between Chris and the character.

"You're good-looking, but your resume is weak," Sam Manders whispered after a while, "Tell me about your understanding of the character from the rough script you've seen," perhaps because he had interviewed a lot of people, and his voice was a little hoarse and tired.

Bruce Cohen frowned, his mouth moved but he still chose not to speak, this request is actually a bit excessive, after all, the auditioners have not read the full script, let alone understand it.

"Yes sir." Chris replied politely.

"I think Richie is a witness to everything that happens in the whole work, he doesn't seem to belong to this world, he is confident, he has his own pursuits, he can find beauty that others can't find, he is lonely, he is at a loss, he is out of place in this world, so he chooses to sink. Until he met Jane, two teenagers who were just beginning to fall in love, who were both classmates and neighbors, who could appreciate and understand each other, and who could comfort and warm each other in addition to the unsatisfactory family life......"

Sam Manders was also unimpressed with his own requirements at first, he was just not satisfied with the morning interview, Jake Gyllenhaal and Wes Bentley were good, but they were not up to their ideal state, so they asked casually, and he didn't think Chris could really understand Richie. He knew that Chris Vaughn was recommended by Bruce Cohen, so he just wanted to prevaricate, but he didn't expect Chris to give him such a big surprise.

Bruce Cohen didn't expect Chris to answer as if he were insightful. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Sam Mendes, and saw that Sam's eyes seemed to become brighter.

"You read this to the camera, Chris!" Sam Manders walked from behind the desk with some eagerness and handed Chris a piece of manuscript paper.

"Sam!" Bruce Cohen exclaimed in surprise.

"It's all right, Bruce," Sam Manders said, waving his hand, "it's just a page, and I'd like to take a closer look at this lad's performance." ”

Chris looked at the manuscript and was overjoyed, and after about three minutes of preparation, he memorized the sentences on the manuscript paper, after all, he had practiced more than once. Soon Chris was taken to another camera, and the cameraman adjusted the angle so that the camera lens was facing his eyes. He was instinctively a little flustered, no matter how experienced an actor was, he would have a sense of tension under the gaze of strangers, let alone a newcomer like Chris. Sometimes a little tension can make the actor more able to get into the role. He took a long breath and kept hinting to himself in his heart, trying to make himself not so restrained. Half a minute later, Chris fully entered Richie's world......

"It snowed all the time, and there were frequent flashes, and you can almost hear it now, don't you? One day, the bag was like this, dancing with me, like a child begging me to play with him. This lasted for 15 minutes. It was that day that I understood that life only exists behind all things, and the incredible power of kindness of this discovery made me understand that I had nothing to fear. The camera is a poor tool, but it helps me remember...... I need to remember...... Sometimes I feel that there is so much beauty in this world, I feel like I can't even shoot it, and my heart is immersed there. ”

The whole room fell silent, Sam Manders and Bruce Cohen looked at Chris in the viewfinder, his expression was calm, natural, and had a calming temperament, his eyes were transparent and pure, like a clear spring, which could instantly cleanse people's hearts, and the next time they gradually immersed themselves in Chris's performance.

Not only them, but Chris was also immersed in his own world, and before he knew it, two tears condensed in his eyes, swaying, as if they were about to slip out of his eyes accidentally......

Sam Menders and Bruce Cohen looked at each other, both of them seeing shock and amazement in each other's eyes.

"He's a genius! Sam. Bruce whispered, his voice trembling slightly.

"Yes, he's a genius," Sam Manders repeated, "and I think we've found the best Richie." ”

Bruce Cohen nodded.

As Chris walked out of the audition room, the people around him cast him with all kinds of meaningful glances.

"He's been around for so long."

"yes, do we still have a chance?"

"It's like, maybe we're all wasting our time."

.....．

Ignoring the sces and whispers around him, Chris walked straight to the hotel elevator door. When he walked to the lobby of the hotel, he saw Allen's figure floating over.

"Well, I heard you did well in your auditions." Alan asked eagerly.

"Well, I think it's pretty good, and the director and producer seem to be satisfied. However, they said they would give me a reply within two days. Chris waved his hand.

"Haha, I knew you could do it, Chris, all the crews won't give an answer on the spot when they audition, maybe I'm going to start preparing to talk to them about your salary." Alan said loudly with a smile on his face.

Outside the hotel, a car carrying Chris and Allen with a puff of green smoke flew away.
