After Kate avoided her gaze, she saw the figure of the other party who was about to turn away, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her head, so she raised her voice and asked, "Sir." Stopped the other party's footsteps, and then Kate paused, as if waiting for the other party to introduce himself, but the man just stood in place with a cold face, never without any ups and downs, Kate could only ask stubbornly, "May I ask what kind of audition venue is this for our project?" ”

Percy slowly looked at the other three men standing next to her, and finally her eyes fell on Kate's body, the woman in front of her had long black hair combed into a high ponytail, revealing her thin and heroic face, a royal blue business suit highlighted the chivalrous heroism and handsomeness, but the bookish air between the eyebrows softened the facial features, and the classical temperament that spread like smoke was unforgettable.

Even in Hollywood, where there are many beautiful women, I have to admit that she is outstanding.

Her questions are clever enough to avoid embarrassing politeness, but she is able to pull out useful information, while at the same time being able to cover up her faux pas and take the initiative to show her kindness. Killing three birds with one stone, it is obviously not the vase it looks like on the outside. However, Percy didn't buy it, his expression still didn't change much, he just said coldly, "Shell project." ”

This answer immediately made several people stunned, and they didn't know how to respond, and then Percy dropped a sentence, "Maybe you should call the agent to confirm", and then turned away.

Kate looked at the indifferent and cold back and opened her mouth, but the rest of the words were still stuck in her throat after all, and she didn't say it. Obviously, they were rude in front of them, and the other party put on such an attitude, and she had nothing to say. Taking a deep breath, Kate turned to look at her friends, "Did you see Cole?" ”

Jeremy nodded, "Cole was waiting outside when I came. But only for a while. He didn't have time to say anything more before he was called in. Jeremy also seemed a little apprehensive at the moment, he didn't have long to become an actor, and there were very few opportunities to perform. Every audition made him nervous, and today's completely clueless audition made him speak a little slurred, "Now Mark is in the audition." ”

"Mark?" Jason looked over confused.

"Mark-Ruffalo," Neil explained, standing on the sidelines, "yes. You haven't met him yet, Cole only signed him last year, and then it's been a busy time at work. After a while he will come out, and you will know each other. ”

Kate frowned in confusion, "Mark is actually here too?" So what kind of work is this? I really don't have a concept! ”

Coming from an independent film background, Mark first entered the Conservatory of Music and later joined a theatre company to perform in theatre. Mark spent years in an underground theater company in Los Angeles, working as an actor, screenwriter, director and producer, but never got the opportunity. So much so that he worked as a bartender for nearly nine years to make ends meet. Just as he was about to give up his acting career, he won an acting opportunity in Kenneth-Lonergan's "You Can Trust Me" and became an overnight sensation, even comparing him to Marlon Brando, a native California film critic.

However, after "You Can Trust Me", Mark has never received better works, and his career has not made more breakthroughs, and he even began to star in chick movies such as "I Want to Fly to the Sky" and "Girl Dream Thirty". The career entered a stalemate, and Cole signed Mark last year, which was because of Mark's solid acting skills and multi-faceted talent. Hopefully, a breakthrough will be made.

If the gathering of these few people looks like an action commercial movie, then Mark's appearance is confusing.

In fact. Cole and Mark were indeed confused about the situation at this time, and looked at Lance who was sitting in a chair flipping through the information restlessly, and the silence was suffocating.

Lance filtered through the information submitted by Cole, and immediately understood Cole's misunderstanding, he did not really understand the core idea of the work "Killing with a Knife", and still regarded this work as a work of commercial crime. So most of the actors introduced are of the same type - they have a certain ability to act in action scenes, and their performances are not too bad. This also confirms Cole's previous statement: he really doesn't know the script.

However, Lance is still quite surprised, Mark will appear in today's audition lineup, although many people know Mark because of the role of the most successful Hulk in the Marvel series of movies, but Lance knows that Mark's acting skills are also quite solid, and the two Oscar nominations for Best Supporting Actor are the best proof.

After flipping through the information, Lance found that Mark was from the theater company, which was obviously a positive sign. For "borrowing a knife to kill", what is needed is this kind of actor with solid basic skills, this type of actor has a very deep understanding and absorption of the script, and there may be no acting explosion scenes, but you can show the strength of the role through the performance skills of guò.

Mark adjusted his position a little anxiously, he was nervous not because of Lance sitting across from him, but because of the silence and oppressive atmosphere.

Full of calculations, he has been rolling in Hollywood for ten years, even after the success of "You Can Trust Me", four years have passed in a blink of an eye, and he has participated in not a thousand but eight hundred, and he has also participated in the super-large audition of "Wind Whisperer", which has thousands of people, so such a small scene will naturally not make him panic.

But for Cole's choice, Mark is a little disagreeable. The reason why he changed his agent is that he doesn't want to appear in those bad and vulgar commercial movies anymore, but wants to appear in some real art movies to polish his acting skills.

But today's "Murder with a Knife" seems to be another commercial film, and the director is still a fledgling newcomer - he likes independent directors, and he also knows the "City of God"; But he also knows that Lance has successfully transformed with his "acquired", and he is a person who clings to Hollywood's power. Mark has no problem with this, because everyone in Hollywood is like this, and he is no exception, but Mark simply doesn't want to appear in commercial movies anymore - he doesn't think that Lance and Tom's partnership can put his acting skills to the test.

Therefore, in the face of this silent atmosphere at this time, Mark seemed a little irritable, and he even considered standing up and turning away. Recalling the "eternal sunshine of the beautiful mind" that Cole received for him last year, he forced himself to take a deep breath and squeeze out the last bit of patience like toothpaste.

"It's a crime scene, a street." Lance's voice sounded without warning, startling Mark, and quickly gathered the focus, only to find that Lance raised his head and looked over, the bright eyes like the sea were calm, but deep, and there were countless mysterious lights hidden, "There is only a large pile of broken glass on the ground, and the windows on the fourth floor of the building next to it have been broken, and then some blood stains can be faintly seen, but other than that, there is nothing." ”

Mark felt that his attention was a little distracted, and he forced himself to concentrate all of his attention. Lance's words did not pause, "That room on the fourth floor is a temporary residence for a drug/dealer, and four months ago, he became your informant, and he has a connection to a big case Felix, but only a small character. By the time you arrive at the scene, he has vanished, with no signs of a fight other than a broken lock. Well, you're good to go. ”

Mark was stunned, only to feel that his brain was a mess, "What to start with?" By the time he realized it, he had already asked the question.

Lance turned his head to look at Cole, pursed the corners of his mouth, and a smile flashed in his eyes, which made Cole a little wolf. Not to mention Lance, even Cole noticed Mark's wandering. However, Lance then looked at Mark again, "It's up to you, you're a police officer, and you're trying to figure out what's going on." ”

Mark feels that his brain is a little unturned, he is an actor, he is not a police officer, but now he is asked to handle the case as a police officer/prosecutor, what kind of audition is this?

"So, what the hell is going on?" Lance waited for a moment, then spoke casually.

Mark looked at Lance deeply, then gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and touched his hair with his right hand in annoyance, "I don't know, I'm trying to figure it out too." I asked him to meet tonight, but he didn't show up, and when he came, he left this for me. Mark's tone was a little irritated, with some confusion in it.

"How long have you been working with him?" Lance raised an eyebrow, absentmindedly as he spoke, and then looked down at the materials in his hand, as if he didn't care about the audition at all.

"Uh...... Four months. Mark only felt a heat burning in his chest, and Lance's carelessness made him feel very uncomfortable. In fact, in most of the audition scenes, the people in charge of the play are the staff, they are only responsible for reading the lines, not the performance, Lance's state is not surprising, but Mark feels that he has no way to calm down, Lance's movements are really too distracting.

Mark turned his head, took a big breath, and forced himself to continue with the audition, "He's connected to a big case, and I think there's definitely something wrong with that." ”

Lance still didn't look up, pursed the corners of his mouth, and his eyebrows were full of nonchalance, "Those big cases will eventually give credit to the FBI, and they have nothing to do with us, what do you care so much about." ”

"What I care about is that this is our job, this is our jurisdiction, and he is my informant, and now that he is dead, who can you count on if I don't investigate!" Mark heartily vented all the anger in his heart through the performance, and his eyes flashed with a terrifying gaze.

"There's a crime here?" Lance raised his head, a casual and lazy look on the corner of his mouth, "Murder? And what about your corpse? All I saw was a pile of glass. ”

Mark only felt as if his brain was blocked in an instant, and he was speechless at all, the irritable feeling was boiling in his chest, but he couldn't vent it, looking at Lance's unbeaten expression, he just wanted to teach him a hard lesson! (To be continued.) )
