"Alright, let's stop here."

In a small warehouse not far behind the Millon Cafe, Murphy interrupted the girl's botched performance across from the makeshift desk, "Miss Stanley, my assistant will inform you of the results of your audition in a week." ”

"But ......"

The girl didn't give up, looked at Old Lynch, who was sitting on the sidelines, and plucked up the courage to say, "But...... I'm not done yet. ”

Murphy couldn't help but pat his head, "I've seen your acting skills." ”

With that, he gave Jessica Chastain a look, and the redhead girl immediately walked over and invited the auditioning girl out of the office.

As soon as the girl went out, Lynch Sr. stood up and pleaded, "Murphy, Kylie Stanley is recognized as the best actor in this film, do you think about it again." ”

"Lynch, you've read the script too." Murphy pointed in the direction of the door and said quite exaggeratedly, "Do you think the male protagonist will be interested when he sees her buckteeth?" ”

"This ......," Lynch Sr. sr. shut.

The so-called actress recommended by Lynch Sr. Murphy was more likely to see that he lent himself the café's independent warehouse as a temporary audition room and storage room, otherwise he would not have considered it at all, and like the other side of the Pacific, it is impossible for a crew to avoid this or that human relationship.

In the last five days, in addition to coordinating the preparation of various departments of the crew, Murphy interviewed dozens of actors, almost all of whom were disappointed people in Hollywood, and they also had other messy professions such as waiters and car washers, which was nothing, the problem was that their auditions were really poor.

The actor is better, there are a few actors in their thirties who have some acting skills and can enter the ranks of Murphy's consideration, while actresses are relatively difficult to find, most of the whites are precocious, and there is not much difference between the figure of sixteen or seventeen and twenty-something, and the appearance conditions of some acting skills are not suitable, and the appearance conditions are suitable and the age is too young, and the acting skills are basically impossible to talk about.

Although it is always said that the role makes the actor, there is no denying that actresses like Natalie Portman, Kirsten Dunst, and Christina Richie who have excellent acting skills at a young age are a scarce resource even in Hollywood.

It was at this time that Murphy realized that "Hard Candy" may not be the most suitable choice, and that a unique-looking actor like Alan Page is sometimes really hard to find.

Murphy auditioned for another girl who worked as an insurance salesman, and when she left, there was a hint of disappointment on her face.

Sitting in a warehouse full of equipment and props, Murphy suddenly understood that his experience was still too lacking, he had thought about all kinds of difficulties before, and there were still some things that he had not considered, and he seriously underestimated the difficulty of finding the heroine of this film.

Do you want to cancel this project? Murphy exhaled heavily, it was impossible.

He's already invested tens of thousands of dollars in the project, and if it is canceled, the money will go down the drain.

Murphy thought that he could use makeup and large-scale scenes as auxiliary means for the heroine's performance, but auxiliary means are auxiliary means, and if the other party does not even meet the requirements of basic acting skills and basic appearance, he will not be able to shoot the effect that the film wants.

The heroine is too mature, and the unspeakable feeling between Lori and the strange uncle will be diluted; If the acting is too bad, it will make people play in minutes.

"There's also an actor who auditioned." Jessica Chastain opened her mouth to remind.

Murphy came back to his senses, and there was no way back for the project, so he could only keep going, "Let her in." ”

Jessica Chastain called the Milton Cafe, and a waitress would bring the auditioners who were waiting there, and Murphy waited for about five minutes before there was a knock on the door of the warehouse from outside, and after he said please come in, a girl pushed the door and walked in.

As soon as the girl entered the warehouse, Murphy's eyes lit up.

This is a typical white girl, with short brown and blonde hair slightly messy on her small and delicate head, a pair of big eyes curiously looking at a qiē in the warehouse, a five-foot-five-inch tall body with a close-fitting printed dress hanging at random, and a black sports bag that is extremely inappropriate for her age on the back.

If you look at the figure, there is absolutely no problem with saying that this girl is sixteen or seventeen years old, but if you look at the smart baby face, this girl is also thirteen or fourteen years old.

An electric current poured out of Murphy's heart, immediately spreading throughout his limbs, because he knew very well that he had met someone who was the right person for the appearance.

This is simply a realistic remake of the girl in the film!

After looking at the humble warehouse, and then at the man sitting behind the simple desk, the girl with short broken hair reached out and scratched her head, she didn't expect that the last thing she saw was this scene that she had written down from everyone from the actors' union.

Is this an audition or a game?

"Hello, please be seated." Murphy pointed to the chair across from her, waited for the girl to sit down, and introduced herself, "I'm Murphy Stanton, the director and investor of Hard Candy. ”

"Oh, hello." The girl's hand was raised to her shoulder and waved to this side, "I'm Carey Mulligan, an actor. ”

Listening to this typical British pronunciation, Murphy frowned slightly, "You are British." ”

"Yes." The girl took off the backpack on her shoulder, put it at her feet, sat more comfortably, and blinked her eyes and said, "I was born in London, but I live in Los Angeles now, and I will stay in Los Angeles for the next few years." ”

"Ah......" Before Murphy could speak, the girl asked curiously, "Do you know what kind of crew this is?" ”

Murphy looked at her and asked rhetorically, "What?" ”

The girl scratched her head again, she had performed in the school troupe before, and had never been in contact with the official film crew, and this time she was also hiding from others, and she didn't know what to ask at all.

Her eyes kept rolling for a moment before she said, "For example, the content of the movie you're going to make." ”

The subject matter of the movie is very sensitive, but there is nothing to hide, and if the other party can't accept it, there is no need to delay each other's time, so Murphy said directly, "It can be summed up in one sentence, a man killed a girl, and the girl's friend tried his best to avenge her!" ”

Murphy obviously underestimated the other party's endurance, and the girl named Carey Mulligan slapped her palm hard, "Cool! That's cool! I love the story. ”

She jumped out of her chair, almost across from Murphy's desk, and asked anxiously, "Is there a script?" Can I read the script? ”

Holding out a hand, Murphy pointed to the chair opposite, and Kerry Mulligan followed his finger and looked back, smiling sheepishly, "Sorry, I'm a little excited." ”

While retreating, she defended herself, "An excellent actor, love is always outward. ”

Sitting back in his chair, Kerry Mulligan added, "I just thought the story you were telling was cool and curious about what it was about." ”

By now, Murphy has been able to see that this girl has absolutely no audition experience before, and she is not very old, more like a flower raised in a greenhouse full of curiosity about the outside world, and basically has no social experience.

"Can I ask......" he asked tentatively, "how old are you?" ”

"Sixteen!" At this point, Carey Mulligan suddenly drooped his head, seemingly frustrated by age, "Fifteen and a half years to be exact." ”

Murphy frowned slightly, sixteen and fifteen and a half years old are definitely two concepts in law, and age seems to be a trouble.

"Is your agent here?" He continued, "Or the guardian?" ”

"I came on my own." Carey Mulligan subconsciously straightened up, "I don't have an agent, I can make my own decisions." ”

After saying that, she urged, "Aren't we auditioning?" ”

Putting his age worries aside, Murphy crossed his hands and placed them on the table, "In this way, put on a play that you are best at." ”

"A one-man show?" Kerry Mulligan stood up.

Murphy nodded slightly, "One-man show." ”

The one-man show is one of the more difficult categories, and Murphy wants to see if the girl's basic skills are as good as her appearance.

To Murphy's surprise, Carey Mulligan was almost instantly put into acting mode, not in a children's play, but in a monologue by Juliet in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

Watching the performance of the girl diagonally opposite, Jessica Chastain, who was sitting on Murphy's side, was a little surprised, she studied drama and knew the difficulty of this paragraph, but the girl performed quite well.

Superb and excellent may not be enough, but in this age group, it is also very rare.

Jessica Chastain glanced at Murphy, and Murphy happened to look over as well, knowing that Jessica Chastain was more professional in acting, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

Despite the downbeat of the project, Jessica Chastain has enough work ethic to give a gentle nod to Murphy.

With a relatively mature figure, a beautiful and delicate baby face, and a performance that exceeds the level line, Murphy initially recognized this girl from the United Kingdom.

Carey Mulligan stopped his performance and patted his baby face, as if to break away from the role in this way, and after a long while, he looked at Murphy, "Am I okay?" ”

Instead of answering, Murphy asked, "Do you only know British pronunciation?" My character is an American. ”

The girl was smart and immediately switched to the American pronunciation, "I've been in Los Angeles for a long time as an exchange student, how is my Los Angeles accent?" ”

Seeing Murphy nodding slightly, she couldn't help but show a cute and playful smile.

"There are also a few questions that may be a little sensitive and you can choose not to answer them."

Hearing Murphy's words, Carey Mulligan couldn't wait to say, "Ask, ask, I can't wait." ”

Murphy coughed lightly and said, "If you meet a lover. Childishness, what would you do? ”
