Chapter 159 of the main text volume decided not only to act in acting

Next chapter

Passionate music wafts around, and blonde women in front of the camera squirm as hot dance moves as if they shouldn't be in the audition room for a film, but in a strip club at midnight.

The music stopped, and the blonde woman stopped, straightening her loose blonde hair, panting as she looked at the few people next to the camera.

That's the one who could decide her fate.

In the middle is an acquaintance, Murphy Stanton, the boyfriend of good friend Carey Mulligan, the director of the audition film, and it is said that the producer has completely relinquished casting power to him.

"Miss Banks." The words that came from there reminded Elizabeth Banks that she was now auditioning, "What have you starred in in the past?" ”

Elizabeth Banks smiled with a sunny and friendly face, "I haven't acted in a movie, and I did a cameo role in 'Anatomy'. ”

Murphy left the camera, looked at Elizabeth Banks and nodded, the other party is more in line with the requirements of the role in terms of appearance and figure, as for the acting skills, it is secondary, such a flirtatious role, basic acting skills are enough.

However, there are many large-scale shots in the film, and Murphy asks, "Miss Banks, what kind of nudity can you accept?" ”

Nudity is a very common situation in Hollywood movies, and how many popular stars have never made a dew point film?

Elizabeth Banks said without hesitation, "As long as the shooting is necessary, I can." ”

She knows the importance of opportunity, like Carey Mulligan, who is inferior to herself in terms of appearance and acting skills, but has played important roles in two films one after another, and can be regarded as having some fame, all because she was lucky enough to meet a director like Murphy Stanton.

Although there will certainly be no footage in the finished film shown in theaters, the restrictions on videotapes are much looser, and the film is going to the Cannes Film Festival to be exhibited, how can it lack large-scale green heads?

The Festival de Cannes is notoriously welcoming films of the largest scale.

"That's it for the auditions." Murphy nodded, and made a brief note in the notebook in his hand, "Miss Banksy, we will inform your agent of the audition next week." ”

Although the director opposite was expressionless, Elizabeth Banks could hear that her chances were still great, and with Carey Mulligan helping her, the pillow wind was said to have always worked.

Elizabeth Banks politely greeted Murphy and the others in the audition room before leaving.

As soon as Paul Wilson left the door after the audition, he received a call from Carey Mulligan and said, "The audition went smoothly and Murphy was happy with your friend." ”

"That's great!" Carey Mulligan is unusually obsessed.

Murphy also walked out of the makeshift audition room, through the setting being built in the warehouse, and back to his director's office, where he found Bill Rothes waiting for him.

"Satisfied with the audition results?" Bill Rothes asked.

"It's okay." Murphy tossed the notebook onto his desk and picked up a glass of water for himself, "Someone was recommended by Carrey, a friend she made in an acting class. ”

Bill Rothes pointed to the outer door, "I just saw it, blonde beauty, looks like she has a lot of potential." ”

Murphy pulled out a chair and sat down, "Are you interested in signing her?" ”

"No, I'm not interested in her." Bill Rothes seemed to mean something, "Don't forget, I'm Carrey's agent, and Carey is your girlfriend, and I can't sign an actress with a similar future path to her." ”

Hearing these words, Murphy raised his head and looked at Bill Rosses, "You mean, let me give up Elizabeth Banks?" ”

Bill Rosis nodded slightly, but he knew that Murphy was a smart person, and quickly said, "From my point of view, I really don't want to see you use a non-CAA contracted actor, and I have someone to recommend." ”

Murphy knew Bill Rothes had something to say and just looked at him.

"From your and Carrey's point of view, I would likewise advise you not to use Elizabeth Banks." Bill Rothes gave the reason directly, "Blonde, beautiful and likable in appearance, and not too good acting, don't you think they are similar?" ”

Without waiting for Murphy to answer, he added, "In Hollywood, blonde actresses are a special category, and the roles available in this group are often limited to a certain range. Murphy, Carey can't just star in your films in the future, and your films have a strong black style, which doesn't match her own temperament, and she still has to go out eventually. ”

Murphy thought about it for a moment and nodded slowly.

"Hollywood doesn't have a large group of really distinctive blonde actresses, and there have been very few particularly outstanding people in recent years, Carrey has accumulated a certain amount of popularity in your first two films, and the future is still very promising." Bill Rothes certainly knows the circle better than Murphy, "What if you're sure Elizabeth Banks is the heroine?" ”

"Carey may have one more competitor in the future?" Murphy gradually figured it out.

Bill Rothes nodded, "The current Elizabeth Banks is not famous, let alone a chance, she is not as good as Carrey in any aspect, Hollywood can give so many opportunities to blonde beautiful actresses, if Elizabeth Banks becomes famous with this film......"

He laughed, "You and I both think that the film can be successful and will be a big hit, and the actress who is the absolute protagonist will definitely be the biggest beneficiary, which also means that Elizabeth Banks may be popular, so Kerry has few opportunities in the future, and there is another strong contender." ”

Murphy took Bill Rossith's words seriously.

After two consecutive films, Carey Mulligan has amassed some fame, and even under the operation of Bill Rosies, he recently appeared in a nationwide magazine and was named one of the top ten potential actresses in Hollywood in the future.

Among these potential actresses, she is also the only blonde actress.

It is true that dyeing hair can solve many problems, but Hollywood's perception or prejudice about a blonde actress is often deep-rooted, and a role that requires acting skills and explosiveness, under similar conditions, the crew often does not choose a blonde actress.

Beautiful blonde actresses mostly serve as vases, which also leads to the fact that many blonde actresses often have relatively few opportunities and resources to obtain after they become truly famous.

This group is already highly competitive, and in the future, Carey Mulligan will jump out of the limitations of his films, and if there is one more competitor, it means one less chance.

After all, Elizabeth Banks will hardly achieve much in the next decade.

It's an outrageous calculation, but Murphy knows how fierce the competition in Hollywood is, and often a 1 percent chance can mean the difference between heaven and earth.

People have selfish intentions, and Murphy is no exception, and it doesn't require much to do.

Having made up his mind, he no longer considered Elizabeth Banks, but asked, "What about you?" Who do you recommend? Your new customer? ”

Bill Rothes shook his head, "A professor at Juilliard, Tho Connection, approached Brian Lauder to find a chance for her protégé, and now among the projects run by CAA, only 'Planet Terror' is in the pre-casting stage, so Bligh called me. ”

The interpersonal network in this circle can be described as intricate, and many times the audition competition is not only about acting skills and appearance, just like all business circles, there is often a network of interpersonal relationships behind it.

Very simple reason, when the conditions are similar, a crew will definitely give priority to actors recommended by acquaintances or related households.

"You have to be pretty enough," Murphy also reminded him of the basic role requirements, "the body must also be hot enough to accept large-scale shots, otherwise it will ......"

He shook his head, he didn't meet these conditions, even if it was a candidate recommended by Brian Lauder, he would refuse.

"Don't worry, you've seen her." Bill Rothes said, "An old friend of ours, she's been through so many setbacks and she's been very open-minded. ”

Friends? Or from The Juilliard School? Murphy immediately thought of a name, "You can't be talking about Jessica Chastain, right?" ”

"That's her." Bill Rothes nodded.

Murphy wondered, "I heard Carrey say that she has hit a wall everywhere in Hollywood, how can she get on line with Bligh?" ”

"I talked to her once, and that mentor was her last hand." Bill Rothes crossed his legs, "The other party should only help her once, if it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't find any opportunities, she shouldn't have contacted the mentor." ”

Think about the former Jessica Chastain, and then look at the trajectory of most Hollywood actresses, she is definitely a late bloomer, presumably there were no fewer setbacks and difficulties at that time, even if it was a top student at Juilliard, it took a lot of time to struggle out and become a close to a first-line star.

The other party also served as his assistant before, and Murphy recognized her work ability, but he didn't see acting or anything.

"That's it, Bill." Murphy opened his notebook and wrote Jessica Chastain's name on it, "Let her audition for the set as much as she can." Also, you sue Sù Bligh, I can't give him any guarantees. ”

Bill Rothes certainly understands the unwritten rules in the industry, and if Jessica Chastain can't meet the most basic conditions, he definitely can't be used, let alone Murphy and Miramax, he can't pass this hurdle.

No one wants to use an actor who could incur the failure of the project for which they are responsible.

Bill Rothes stood up, "I'll have Jessica Chastain's agent contact the crew." Bligh I communicated with Guò before, no problem. ”

He quickly left the office, and Murphy thought for a while, and from the perspective of Carey Mulligan's future development, Elizabeth Banks really wasn't a good candidate
