From afar, Jessica saw Lance sitting in the coffee house through the glass window, a sky blue shirt against the blue eyes, a moving halo, people can't help but want to find out. The midsummer California sun was always a little too bright, as if it was enough to blur all the qiē, and she quickly closed her eyes to let the sharp stinging pain ease.

"Are we late?" Jessica turned her head and looked at James beside her. When the actor arrives at the audition, he finds that the director is already seated, which is really a bad thing, not to mention, the director is still ......

James could see Jessica's nervousness and impatience at once, so he could only shake his head, "It's us who arrived early." Lance made an appointment at three o'clock in the afternoon. "It's just two points now. James gestured to where Lance was, but Jessica was reluctant to turn her head, "Lance is now in another audition. James was a little helpless, "I asked you to come here early, just to adapt to the situation here, and when you audition, you have to be professional." Think Vivien-Leigh and Clark-Gable. ”

These two actors, who are worthy of being among the greatest actors in Hollywood film history, have joined forces to dedicate the famous "Gone with the Wind" in history, and the picture of Rhett holding Scarlett's slender waist and kissing romantically has become the ultimate fantasy of romance for countless women.

But in fact, these two actors don't like each other. Vivien repeatedly messed with her husband Laurence-Olivier during the filming of the crew, constantly demanding room/things, so that the crew was delayed filming, and because the filming pressure was too great, she couldn't control her temper and went against the crew; Clark was reluctant to take on the film in the first place. And the next role was already the top of the top at that time, but Vivien was just a fledgling rookie actress, but he was going to be reduced to a green leaf in the movie, which made him very dissatisfied, and the superstar's temper was unrestrained. The two of them were in constant conflict during the filming phase, and they would encounter problems almost every day of shooting.

Clark smokes a cigarette and is addicted to strict zhòng. with severe bad breath; And Vivien, in order to retaliate, deliberately ate a lot of garlic before filming the kiss scene. Therefore, the romantic kiss that has left a strong mark in the entire film history is cigarette smoke and garlic flavor.

This can be called professional, or it can be called Hollywood.

Jessica looked at James deeply, then took a deep breath and turned her head to look again in the direction where Lance was sitting, "Let's go!" Now that you're preparing, it's time to start. "The boiling love in the chest takes a little time to settle down.

Walk into the coffee house. The jingling wind chimes instantly attracted the attention of most people, and as soon as Jessica looked up, she saw Lance's deep and deep gaze, which was just the temperature of a sight, gentlemanly and unfamiliar, without any emotion, which made the heat in Jessica's chest suddenly stagnate, and it cooled down in an instant.

Forthwith. Lance withdrew his gaze and did not linger on her for any longer; Ben Affleck, who was sitting across from Reims, turned his head. As if he wanted to turn the whole person around, he looked at her in a daze, with a novel look and scrutiny in his eyes, and he was reluctant to withdraw his gaze, the curvature of the corners of his mouth was gently outlined, and he nodded his chin in a friendly way. It's kind of a hello.

Although Jessica had expected this situation for a long time - because this was the case with the last parting, although Jessica had been mentally prepared for it - at least she thought so, but at this time her whole body was still cold, as if one second she was still in a volcanic eruption, and the next second it was like falling into an ice cellar. So much so that she couldn't take a step at all.

Lance's eyebrows were slightly raised, obviously not very satisfied with Ben's distraction, the man sitting next to Ben patted Ben's shoulder, Ben came to his senses, smiled apologetically at Lance, and whispered something, Lance's eyes rose again, and glanced at Jessica, but it still didn't mean anything, as if she was just an ordinary friend who had met two or three times - it was even worse than a stranger.

Then, Lance withdrew his gaze and spoke to Ben again.

Two eyes, just two eyes, understatement, light and light, two eyes that are not alarmed, but the handsome eyebrows and eyes are like the tide surging, the clouds are rising and falling, and the sunlight in the whole room is sprinkled down with a gentle pull, which makes people unable to take their eyes off at all. But for her, it was a hell.

Why can he be so calm, so calm, so ...... Cruel, like a cold-blooded animal without emotion, two eyes erased all the past qiē. There is no strangeness, only detached politeness; There are no waves, only just the right amount of abundance; There is no temperature, only a fair and translucent gentleness......

She thought she could do it, she thought that all the qiē had passed, but the pain that swept over her began to slowly gnaw at every inch of her skin; Those eyes were like two hands, and they grabbed her ankles fiercely, and then pulled down hard, and then pulled down again, but she couldn't struggle at all, only watched little by little as she was submerged in the sea level, and then fell into a never-ending suffocation.

Jessica couldn't hold back any longer, and walked in the direction of the bathroom, trying to keep her composure, straightening her back and walking steadily...... She must not reveal any panic and timidity, but no matter how she clenched her hands into fists, she still couldn't suppress the slightly trembling muscles, and her heart was beating wildly, she couldn't even clearly distinguish her feelings at the moment, only one thought - she wanted to escape from here.

With a "bang", Jessica pushed open the door of the bathroom, and the out-of-control loud noise echoed in the limited space, even Jessica herself was startled, and the little girl standing in front of the bathroom mirror was even more frightened. Jessica saw the little girl who was stiff in place, and pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "I'm sorry...... I'm sorry. Then, Jessica quickly stepped into the cubicle, gasping for air, and before she knew it, hot tears were streaming down her face.

Emma Stone stood at a loss, obviously not understanding what was going on, and when the woman entered the cubicle, she shook her head and was about to turn on the faucet to wash her hands, but there was a suppressed and painful cry from the cubicle behind her, which made Emma's muscles stiffen, and her limited life experience was obviously not enough to comprehend all the things that happened - what was going on?

Lance only felt his temples throb, and he exhaled softly, "Ben, if you're not ready to act, we can end the conversation now." This is the fourth time Ben has wandered in today's audition, and such an unprofessional attitude is really tight.

Ben turned his head again, and in the face of Lance's sharp scolding, he showed a graceful smile, "Relax, relax." I've been listening carefully, as you just said, this role is not that simple, it requires acting skills, and it needs to be studied seriously, right? This is indeed what Lance said just now, "I believe that you are willing to find me, that is, you believe in my ability." So, I don't think there's any need to talk about it at all. Hearing this, Lance's eyebrows raised slightly, "However, I promise, I will definitely read the script carefully, and if you have any questions, I will take the initiative to communicate with you." You know, I still have some say in the script. ”

Ben's rise is to rely on "Soul Catcher" to win the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, and he is a blockbuster.

Lance wasn't quite happy with Ben's attitude, but the words of warning circled around the tip of his tongue and swallowed it anyway. Not only because Lance knows that Hollywood has never lacked individual actors, he can't let every actor be at his mercy - even if he can do it, he doesn't want to, because personality itself is a part of the actor, not to mention, he is not qualified to turn all actors into his own puppets now; Also because Lance knew that with Ben, it was a trade, a deal he needed.

Ben Affleck is a brilliant director, no one can deny that, maybe "Escape from Tehran" is not enough to match the Oscar title of Best Picture, but it is a good film. But is Ben a great actor? Obviously not, on the contrary, it can even be said that Ben is a very bad actor.

Ben's expression is too stiff and too consistent during the performance, and it can almost be said that all emotions are the same expression, commonly known as zombie facial paralysis; Not only does he not have a solid acting foundation, but at the same time, there are not enough roles to substitute, let alone any delicate emotions and rich feelings, even among the "Disappeared Lover" whose facial paralysis acting skills have been perfectly played, his performance is far from exciting, and can only be regarded as qualified.

But why did Lance choose Ben to play the role of De White?

First, the character of Dee White is a traditional tough guy, it is enough to show enough heroism, and there is not much room to dig deeper, and Lance never denies that Ben is a handsome guy and has a bit of a heroic temperament, maybe it is not appropriate to play Batman, but it is more than enough to play the rogue hero of "Sin City"; Second, Lance needed Bruce Willis, Eva Green, and Elijah Wood, all of whom were affiliated with an innovative artist agency, the same as Ben.

This is the second time in a row that Lance has encountered the packaging business of a brokerage company after "killing people with a knife". Lance clearly knows that if you want to be a senior player in Hollywood, you must understand when to be tough and when to compromise, and every cooperation is a deal, a game. When "borrowing a knife to kill", Lance made the innovative artist agency suffer a dark loss, and this time he was bound to hand over part of the profits.

What's more, Ben playing Dee White is not a bad choice. But the premise is that Ben needs to face up to the work "Sin City".

So, as soon as the words on the tip of Lance's tongue wrapped, the curvature of the corners of his mouth was outlined, "Of course, of course I know, but the performance is not done with a pen, nor with a hand. We're going to have a script exercise before the film goes live, and I guess you're not going to disappoint me, are you? (To be continued.) )
