Chapter 417
After an eleven hour flight, Shen Lian's plane successfully landed at Ontario International Airport. From the Eastern Hemisphere, to the other side of the earth, Shen Lian and the rest of the team had their biological clocks a little upside down, although they slept on the plane for a while, they still couldn't withstand the tired offensive.
Outside the airport, Paramount's staff were already waiting at the pick-up desk holding a sign with Shen Lian's English name printed on it.
After the premiere of "The King of Guns", he was about to fly back to Shanghai from Beijing, but unexpectedly received a call from Zhang Ting.
Paramount, on the other hand, took the initiative to invite Shen Lian to audition for the male lead in "Mission Impossible 4"!
Judging from the news obtained on the Internet, in addition to Shen Lian, the other two candidates are the little werewolf Taylor Lotna in "Twilight" and British actor Henry Cavill.
Zhang Ting did not hesitate, and directly connected Shen Lian's phone to discuss this matter.
Shen Lian naturally would not refuse this kind of God-given opportunity, so he agreed to come down, and immediately changed his ticket, met Zhang Ting in Hong Kong, and then went to Los Angeles.
"Hello, I'm Kus, nice to meet you!" The staff is a typical white handsome guy who looks very masculine and attractive.
"Hi Kus, I'm Shen Lian, you can call me Gilbert." Shen Lian stretched out his hand and shook his hand gently.
"We've arranged a hotel for you, you and your team can move in first, and within three days, we'll have a final audition for you and the other candidates." Kuss said.
"There is labor!" Shen Lian nodded, and then handed the luggage to Kus.
Back at the hotel, Shen Lian fell asleep early.
Paramount did not hand over the script directly to Shen Lian, the so-called audition was more about considering all aspects of the trio.
However, Shen Lian has watched this classic agent action movie countless times in his previous life, and every scene is like a knife carving, left in his mind, and his understanding of the plot has a great advantage over the other two candidates.
Shen Lian took more breaks to regain his physical strength, while Zhang Ting and Chen Hang hurried to collect information about the two main competitors.
The series "Mission Impossible 4" was branded as Tom early, and in this case, there is no doubt that other first-line stars will not come to this troubled water. Coupled with the popularity of superhero movies with more grand scenes, the spy action movies that were originally known for their blood-swelling visual effects are not so expected, and it is not difficult to understand that those who can accept the invitation to audition are all people who have a certain reputation in Hollywood, have a good reputation, but are difficult to call a big name.
Henry Cavill was born in 1983 in Jersey, at the southern tip of the English Channel, this new generation of actors who have attracted attention because of the well-known American drama "Dufeng Dynasty", has a tall, handsome, clear British gentleman appearance. But he has auditioned for various classic roles such as Batman and 007, all of which have failed. Especially after Brosnan's old age was revealed, Henry became the favorite to succeed Brosnan as the new James Bond, but lost to Daniel Craig after the final tests and his slight disadvantage.
Taylor Lotna, a new generation of American idol actors born in 92. Since 2008, Taylor has played the role of Jacob Black in the vampire film series "Twilight". However, he is better known for his brief relationship with Taylor Swift, the little diva of American country music, when he participated in the movie "Valentine's Day" in 09.
Compared with Henry's experience in auditioning for various films, Taylor's performance can be regarded as criticized. Although "Twilight" is a big hit, the acting skills of several leading actors are not good. But Taylor also has his own strengths, and that is his fighting ability. Taylor Lautner began training at taekwondo school at the age of 6 and continued to win championships over the next few years. Soon after, he was recommended to study under 7-time Taekwondo World Champion MikeChat. At the age of 8, he represented the United States in the World Taekwondo Association under 12 level competitions, and won three championships, including the world group and the weapons group. He then continued to advance in the martial arts scene, and in 2003, at the age of 11, Taylor ranked first in the NASKA Open Black Belt. By the age of 12, he had already won three World Junior Black Belt titles.
If it weren't for the coincidence, he might have been able to represent the United States at the Olympics.
The day after arriving in Los Angeles, Shen Lian received a notice from Paramount that the interview time was set for two o'clock in the afternoon.
After lunch, Shen Lian changed his clothes slightly, he found a tight shirt to wear inside, and a casual small suit outside, Shen Lian's figure can be described as perfect in terms of Asian aesthetics, but it is obviously thin in Europe and the United States. The body is very slender, especially the long legs, which is very attractive, but the upper body is still thin and there are no lumps of muscles.
Under Paramount's building, Kus was already waiting below, and immediately greeted Shen Lian when he saw him.
The audition took place in an office in the Paramount Building, which was large and empty. Henry and Taylor were already waiting here.
"Hi guys, the last auditionee, Gilbert the Shrimp Man, has arrived." Kus said as he walked over to several of the executives sitting at his desk. and Tom in a wheelchair.
The three auditioners looked at each other and didn't say much.
"Hello, I'm Shen Lian, and I'm here to audition for "Mission Impossible 4" today." Shen Lian raised his head arrogantly and said directly.
He saw auditions as a kind of reciprocal relationship.
"Okay, okay, now that everyone is here, let's start today's audition." Branborne clapped his hands and said somewhat casually, he pointed to the chairs and said, "You don't have to be restrained, just think of it as a little party and a conversation for us." ”
After everyone took their seats, Bird began to speak: "I'm sure everyone has seen the Mission: Impossible movies, so what do you think of our first three movies? What changes can be made in the fourth part? ”
Glancing at the crowd, he was the first to name Taylor, who was the youngest.
"There is no doubt that the Mission: Impossible franchise is a very successful film series. has great technological equipment, strong opponents, and a very brain-burning plot. In addition, Tom is really handsome, which is also an important reason why he is so popular. From my personal point of view, I might consider adding a little bit of combat footage to create a different effect. More fight scenes and intense clashes will give the movie more elements and visual impact. "Taylor is very direct, and if he talks about fighting, he is confident that he is the strongest.
Of course, if it weren't for the audition, Shen Lian could really fight with him, after all, he had practiced for a few years, and the strengthening of his body was very obvious.
