138 Excessive force
Michael closed his eyes, then took a deep breath, forcing his brain to empty completely. Immediately after, he clenched his fists, stood up completely straight with his feet, and all the muscles in his body were tense to the extreme, his body couldn't help but lean back, clenching his teeth to suppress his tension, even so, his body couldn't help but start to tremble slightly.
The trembling, which was almost invisible to the naked eye, disturbed the milky yellow light of the dance studio, causing the surrounding halo to slowly fade like ripples in the lake. From the soles of the feet to the fingertips to the jaws, fear and tension are like a slowly rising flood in a confined space, and the feeling of suffocation compresses the living space little by little.
I have to admit that Michael's simple way almost brings out the essence of the performance of the xiàn school to the extreme. Feelings of fear and nervousness came over me.
Channing stood next to him, he couldn't understand it at first, thinking that Michael was so nervous that he was trembling, and he didn't dare to perform with his eyes closed, so he raised his hand and wanted to pat Michael, but then he saw Jack and Austin standing on the other side showing surprised looks, which made Chanin's movements stop.
At this moment, Michael's eyes slowly opened, and the translucent blue eyes showed all the complicated feelings in his heart, and then his mouth pulled slightly, as if he wanted to pull out a smile, but his facial expression was completely stiff, and the smile was even more ugly than crying.
Michael saw that the person sitting on the far right leaned forward slightly, and the large shadow slid down like a waterfall, and between the time faded, little by little the hidden face was revealed, as if there was a thin layer of luster delicately depicting and outlining the thrilling face curve, and the decadent temperament that wandered between strength and fragility swirled between the eyebrows like smoke, revealing a mysterious and deadly force.
At the sight of those eyes, Michael's performance was interrupted, and he stood a little helplessly, all the tension in his body relaxed, and he didn't even have time to see whether the eyes were blue or green, so he avoided the gaze in embarrassment.
The unfinished performance came to an abrupt end.
Michael didn't dare to raise his head, only heard the calm voice without any pause, and then said, "Austin, it's your turn to reads();." Michael stole a glimpse of the corner of the man's mouth, indifferent and detached, but like a ray of sunshine in a cold winter forest—even if it was cold, it was still warm.
Michael was a little annoyed that he could have performed better, he was definitely more than that, but he screwed up. Suddenly, he was desperate for this opportunity to perform "the day after tomorrow", even though he knew that it was just a commercial film, but his sixth sense was roaring: seize this opportunity.
Perhaps, he can win more acting opportunities with the success of a commercial film. It's a pity that his chance has passed. This made Michael can't help but clench his fists, and the irritability in his heart is difficult to suppress.
"Jack." Hearing this call, Michael immediately looked up, and then found that not only him, but also Channing and Austin had also looked at it. Obviously, they are all curious about how Jack, who is now a little famous and his career is on the rise, will perform.
I saw Jack take out a pack of snacks from his pocket, open it and pour a large pile in the palm of his hand, throw it directly into his mouth, and then start chewing, but he didn't stop moving, poured some more into the palm of his hand, and continued to throw it into his mouth, again, again, after four times, half of his face bulged, obviously because his mouth was full of food, but the other side basically remained normal, and then I saw him chewing constantly, as if he was just eating.
Is Jack just eating?
Michael paid close attention and noticed that Jack's vision was a little out of focus, moving around restlessly, there was no way to meditate, and the action of throwing food seemed very mechanical; After careful observation, one could even see that Jack's hands were trembling slightly, and then his eyes kept looking around, without a goal, but always wandering.
Michael suddenly realized a detail: he came to audition for the role of the actor Jack's son, Sam, who is only in the twelfth grade this year and is about to go to college. Well, Sam should still be a teenager, a big boy, and his youthfulness and recklessness should also be taken into account.
So, that also means...... Jack's performance is more appropriate, and even Channing's performance is even more appropriate. Michael was a little annoyed, he was twenty-five years old, he didn't have an advantage playing Sam in the first place, and now his performance was so rough that it hadn't been thought out at all - he was already sure that he was out of contention.
This left Michael a little frustrated.
"That's it." The calm voice spoke, interrupting Jack's performance, "So, you're all here to audition for the role of Sam?" The four of them looked at each other, and no one objected, only Channing said with a smile, "Are there other characters that can be tried?" ”
One of the people sitting next to him chuckled and responded, "This is a very large crew. This made everyone chuckle.
"Alright, you can leave." The man on the far right spoke again, waving his hand to let them go.
Michael hesitated, looked back, and didn't see Percy - Percy should have gone to the door to greet a group of people in, and then looked back at the man on the far right, gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, can you comment on my performance?" Although he didn't know the man at all, and he wasn't even sure if the man had what it took to comment on the performance, his instincts told him: he could!
The man raised his head, and the corners of his mouth outlined a playful smile, faint, fleeting, but there was a hint of playfulness between the slightly frowning eyebrows, "Shouldn't you ask me to give you a second chance?" Michael's movements made the other three people stop their footsteps.
Michael shrugged his shoulders and said honestly, "I don't think I'm that special enough to win a second chance reads();." "He won't forget jì, it was less than a minute before it started, and there were only four of the five people left of them." So, I just want to know, my strengths and my weaknesses. ”
At this time, the door of the room opened again, and a man with an Asian face came in first, only to notice the anomaly inside, and immediately stopped, and the door became crowded in the blink of an eye. Percy noticed the anomaly and walked in through the door, immediately casting a puzzled look, but Michael noticed that the man raised his hand and paused, and then Percy's steps stopped.
"What if it's all shortcomings?" The man's answer was very intriguing.
Michael couldn't help but be stunned, and a sense of absurdity arose, and as a result, the smile on the corner of his mouth outlined, "Then at least let me know." Although he was smiling, his heart was slowly sinking, and as he guessed, his performance did not match the role of Sam. Now he didn't even know why he had stayed to ask such a stupid question, was it self-inflicted? He has no masochistic tendencies.
The man's straight eyebrows raised slightly, then he lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "You can leave, a group." ”
This time, Michael didn't dwell on any further, and took the lead in walking towards the opposite door. Channing scratched his head for some reason, looked around, and then quickly followed. Soon, with Jack and Austin leaving, the dance studio welcomed a group of auditioners.
"What do you think?" Albert was sitting next to Lance, and he could feel that Lance was quite satisfied with the group of actors.
Albert's guess is correct, the overall level of this group of actors is good, all of them are faces that Lance recognizes, the famous Michael Fassbender, the popular Channing Tatum, the strong Jake Gyllenhaal, and even Austin Nix and Ian Somerhald are not unknown.
Lance groaned, "His performance is more suitable for drama films, and it can be seen that he should have been trained in the East End of London, and his skills are very solid." But for commercial films, it's too deep for the audience to understand. Although Lance didn't name him, Albert understood that Lance was talking about Michael.
Albert glanced at Lance rather in surprise, "I thought you'd be focusing on Jake Gyllenhaal." ”
Lance didn't answer, but looked up at the group in front of him. There are four Asian faces in this group - as Lance conceived, after he accepts that after the "day after tomorrow", China will replace Japan as the Asian representative in the film, and he not only wants to give an important supporting role in the film to a Chinese actor, but also intends to put the first city to hit by this disaster in China, so he needs a lot of Asian actors - especially Chinese.
Michael strode out of the dance studio and stood in the hallway, breathing hard in the fresh air outside, his hot lungs slowly cooling. "Are you alright?" Channing's voice came from behind, "To be honest, your performance just now was really amazing, I didn't understand it at first, but after I knew what was going on, I ...... Wow! Channing danced and expressed his excitement.
At this time, Austin and Jack also walked out, and several people exchanged glances, and Jack left quickly.
"You say, did he prepare for it a long time ago?" Channing nudged Michael, looked at Jack's back and said, "Otherwise, how could he carry snacks with him, and perform so well, even factors like airplanes are taken into account." ”
Michael couldn't help but be stunned, then shook his head, "Who knows." ”
"Sure enough, people with strong agents are different." Channing was surprised, "But he does have the strength to ......" Michael also cast his gaze at Jack, who didn't stop and walked straight forward, and when he reached the top of the stairs, a man greeted him, and the two walked up the stairs side by side.
