Michael Fassbender pulled his tie with some restraint, as if the tie was too tight and breathless.

Even if he keeps emphasizing in his heart, don't be nervous, there's no need to be nervous, because he doesn't want to get the role of "acquired day" at all, he has little interest in commercial films, and he will come to audition, first, to accumulate experience, and secondly, because his monthly rent has not yet settled, and he has interviewed for a few TV series before, but there is no news yet, so he just came to try his luck - but the nervous love still makes him feel that the air is thin.

"So you're nervous too? Buddy. The person sitting next to him took the initiative to talk, and Michael turned his head to see a young man with a flat head, with a bright sunny smile on his face, wearing a pair of hip-hop style pants and a loose tank top that seemed to be very casual. He elbowed Michael and raised his chin to gesture straight ahead, "See that guy?" That's already an agent, and I've seen his movies in art theaters, and he even collaborated on a movie with Rachel from 'Friends'! When I compare myself to him, I feel hopeless. ”

Michael's originally nervous feelings couldn't help but relax slightly, and looked at the young man's line of sight, it was Jack Gyllenhaal, who had seen his "death hallucination", and then retracted his gaze, looked at the young man and laughed, "Then why are you still lining up here?" ”

"Gain experience." The young man shrugged his shoulders as a matter of course, "My agent said that I had to audition more often or I wouldn't get a chance to perform in the future." ”

"I thought you didn't have an agent." Michael caught the language in the young man's mouth.

The corners of the young man's mouth drooped hard, raised his eyebrows, his eyes widened, and he spread his hands to make an innocent statement, "He just told me where to go to the audition, and I don't necessarily have an audition once a month, so I don't know if he is my agent or not." ”

Michael finally couldn't hold back, grinning brightly, revealing his neat and white teeth, like a shark, "If he didn't make you pay for nothing, then he is indeed your agent." ”

Just as Michael was about to introduce himself, the door opened in front of him, "A group prepares, a sixty-second countdown reads();." Michael looked up and saw the assistant of the "Day After Tomorrow" crew, and just now he vaguely heard someone calling him "Percy", but he didn't know if it was a surname or a first name.

Michael quickly stood up and straightened his suit. But before he could stand firm, the young man next to him trotted past him, and his first reaction was "Cut in line?" "In auditions, the act of cutting the queue doesn't help anything, because in the end it depends on strength, but the thing itself is not liked anywhere.

Michael was hesitating to advise the other party, when he saw the young man run up to Percy's side, grinning and asking, "Is there a script?" Do we need to read the script first and then memorize the lines? ”

Percy's face was cold, and his face that barely changed revealed a high coldness that rejected people thousands of miles away, like an iceberg, and his whole body exuded the aura of "no one should enter", and he threw out a cold sentence without squinting, "No." ”

But the young man, as if he hadn't received the signal at all, smiled and continued to ask, "Do we need to prepare a performance ourselves?" It's up to us to play freely, right? Or is there any special talent that can impress the director? By the way, is there only a casting director in it, or is the director also there? ”

"Nope." Percy raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at the young man, and threw a clear sentence, then raised his head to look at the team in front of him, "Thirty seconds." ”

The young man still didn't give up, "Can't you just reveal the content of the audition?" So we can prepare? At this time, not only the young man, not only Michael, but even Jack, who was standing in front, raised his head and cast his gaze.

Almost every audition is different, and different casting directors have different styles, sometimes the crew will give clear instructions, but sometimes the actors need to prepare themselves. But a commercial movie like "The Day After Tomorrow" is really difficult to figure out, because the test is not acting skills or heritage, and the preferences of casting directors are really difficult to figure out. So, if you can know some information in advance, it is really good for auditions.

But Percy was still expressionless, looked at his watch, and moved his gaze to the clipboard in his hand, "Pick up five people and start entering." The young man could only run back quickly, and stood behind Michael again, and the two exchanged glances, and the young man grinned with his teeth, as if he had not been affected by the little episode just now.

Michael retracted his attention, stepped forward, followed the movements of the previous person, looked down at the clipboard in Percy's hand, and then pointed to his name, "Michael Fassbender", Percy nodded, signaling that he could go in, and then he walked quickly into the room.

In front of him was a dance room, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the street on the right, mirrored walls on the other three sides, and a door at the other end leading to another hallway from which the previous group of auditioners were leaving; There are three tables in the center, and there are only four people sitting, but because of the mirror wall, it feels like everyone is standing in all directions, and the strong sense of oppression comes to the face, and the air can smell the tightness.

Michael felt another person come in behind him, and he could see from the mirror that it was the young man just now, and the young man trotted in in a hurry, bringing up a burst of stuffy air, but before the young man could stand firm, the person sitting on the far right directly raised his voice and said, "Ten push-ups." ”

What the?

This was Michael's first reaction, this was the first time he had encountered such an audition, he didn't know what to do at all, and then he saw someone on his left hand side going down, and he almost reflexively fell directly to the ground, and did ten push-ups without a head.

After all was done, Michael stood up, looked around blankly, his brain became a mess, and the already nervous emotions were completely messed up at this time, and then he heard the calm voice say, "Introduce yourself, start reading ();." The first person on the left was completely stunned, and he didn't speak for a while, for about a second, and then the calm voice jumped over, "The second one." ”

This......

"Jake Gyllenhaal." Jack's mouth was dry, and it was only ten push-ups, but it made all the emotions tense.

“…… Austin-Nicols. ”

"Michael Fassbinder."

"Ing-Tatum."

The voices of the four people have their own characteristics, and Austin was slightly stunned, but he finally caught up; Michael only felt that his voice was trembling, and he could only say his name dryly; Channing's voice was still vibrant, and he could be heard that he was the most relaxed of the four.

Michael couldn't help but lower his eyes and adjust his breathing. The tension of gaining and losing will only help you at this moment.

The man on the far left didn't seem to know what to do, but hesitantly, uncertainly, said, "Ian-Somerhalder." ”

"Ian, you can leave." The voice of self-introduction fell, and the calm voice spoke again. It can be felt that the voice does not have too many emotional changes, no ridicule, no ridicule, no sarcasm, just maintains the usual calm, but it is precisely this calmness, not even thinking and not hesitating, but revealing a coldness that makes people shudder.

The man on the far left was frustrated in place, reluctant to move at all. But then Percy came up and politely invited him to leave, and he sighed twice, and could only take a step, the sound of which seemed particularly empty in the silent dance room, and even echoed.

Michael knew he couldn't get distracted, even if he wasn't interested, but the matter of rent made him have to be serious, and he already had a deep understanding of how terrible the fierce competition in Hollywood was. So, Michael looked up and calmly looked at the four judges in front of him, and his eyes fell on the person on the far right, consciously or unconsciously, and he could feel that he was the one who called the shots.

It's a pity that the man leaned back in the chair a little lazily, most of his cheeks were hidden in shadows, and only a quarter of the side curve of his face could be faintly seen, and the light and shadow sprinkled on the neat black hair, extending along the simple and sharp curves, and the dark blue houndstooth dark pattern shirt outlined the stiffness of the shoulder line......

The hidden gaze in the shadows lifted slightly, which made Michael's heart sink, and he cautiously looked away, and then heard the voice speak, "You're on a plane now, you're afraid to fly, but you're sitting next to the girl you like, what would you do?" ”

It's actually a live play...... This is also a very popular way for many directors to audition, because it can test the actors' acting skills and adaptability, and give full play to their true materials in a limited space. In particular, the director who has studied acting - experiential acting, likes this way very much.

"Channing, you're the first, thirty seconds." The voice barely left any room for thought, and just spoke.

Channing was stunned, and directly waved his hand, and said with a bachelor's expression, "This is too difficult, if it were me, I would probably stiffen in place and pretend to sleep, otherwise I would die of shame." The frank words made several people next to him chuckle, and then the person sitting on the far right nodded slightly, and without commenting too much, he just said, "One, Michael." ”
