139 Latent Rules
Lance was a little distracted, and Albert touched his elbow slightly, "I just came here today for a cameo, what if you get distracted?" The other two were assistant directors sent by Twentieth Century Fox and official agents sent by the Screen Actors Guild. M. Mobile Albert was clearly reluctant to trust them.
Lance tugged at the corners of his mouth and said lightly, "If there's something to keep an eye on, I'll make a sound." ”
Although the auditioning actor passed through a few more groups, his attention remained on the group just now. Jack Gyllenhaal's excellent performance is expected, and Jack's agent obviously values "The Day After Tomorrow", not only because it is a commercial blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million, but also because he obviously has great trust in the director of "City of God", thinking that this work has the potential to help Jack's career to the next level.
It's no surprise that Hollywood's actor development model has formed a basic routine. After starring in two independent works of art and winning word-of-mouth and gaining attention, starring in a commercial film and winning the box office and winning the salary, then choose the works according to your preferences. Agents are even more so, hoping that their actors will appear in more commercial blockbusters - for their commissions.
However, Jack's career is just on the rise, and his agent understands that opportunities are rare. He reached out to Lance three times, expressing Jack's strong desire to star in the production, and even visited Lance in person. He was willing to let Jack come to the public audition, and he was willing to keep Jack's salary within a million dollars, the only requirement was that Jack's role in the movie must be increased.
Today's audition topic, Jack did know in advance, although his performance is still a little green, but you can already see the framework of methodist acting. It can be seen that Jack is indeed a talented actor, and after the precipitation and breaking of time, it is enough to impress. As for the time being, there is no problem for him to play "The Day After Tomorrow".
The real surprises were Channing Tatum and Michael Fassbinder.
Both actors are currently in the early stages of their careers, Channing doesn't even have any debut works, and Michael is more of a mess on the small screen. Channing has no acting skills, so his audition style is natural, relying entirely on his own instincts/abilities to interpret, with some faint comedy style; As for Michael......
The premise is that Michael's performance is indeed a little original/beginning, with a youthful impulse and jerkiness, but his solid acting skills give him a cold and profound power, especially the details of his eyes opening after trembling, if placed in movies like "Thriller Flight 93" or "Captain Phillips", it is enough to make people stunning. That's why Lance leans forward.
Such a performance is placed in a commercial movie like "The Day After Tomorrow", but it is easy to be buried and slow down the pace of the movie. However, it is indeed a pity to miss such a piece of jade.
With a soft "snort", Albert pushed Lance's elbow again, interrupting Lance's train of thought, and his eyes couldn't help but focus, and then he saw Jessica Alba standing in front of him.
Jessica stood stiffly and apprehensively, her panicked gaze dodging left and right, trying to avoid the man's eyes, but no matter how she dodged, she could always catch that dangerous and deadly gaze in the corner of her sight, even if her hands were firmly behind her back, she couldn't hide the tense muscles, and her feet unnaturally swapped places, revealing her inner restlessness. The sexy/sensual lips were tightly pursed together, and the vivid blood color faded little by little, glowing haggard white.
In the blink of an eye, it was half a year ago at the Sundance Film Festival, but the events of that night still lingered in her mind, like invisible smoke, quietly rooted deep in her blood, even if she tried her best to clear it, it was to no avail. She told herself that what she would never forget was the stupid impulse and the shame that pierced into the bones, but she dreamed back at midnight, the misty blue eyes, the rough breath vibrating in her ears, the hot and slippery sweat...... But step by step, she was breaking down all her defenses.
When I learned that the next audition opportunity was "the day after tomorrow", I couldn't find a suitable word to describe the turmoil in my heart. The indescribable sense of anticipation made her feel even more scared.
At this moment, standing in front of that man, she felt red all over her body.
Lance saw Jessica, raised his eyebrows slightly, then turned his head to look at Albert in confusion, as if asking, "So what?" ”
Albert was directly asked by Lance's eyes, he originally thought that there must be an unknown secret between Lance and Jessica - in addition to the scandal, Albert was the only witness to the first meeting between Lance and Jessica. But now seeing Lance's bland expression, Albert choked - especially when he was surrounded by outsiders, and he couldn't ask directly, which made him feel really aggrieved, and he turned his head fiercely and stopped paying attention to Lance.
"Introduce yourself!" Albert said angrily, which made the five actors who came to audition in front of him stunned, obviously not understanding why they suddenly provoked the interviewer.
The corners of Lance's mouth curled up in a playful arc. Of course he knew what Albert's eyes meant, but for him, the memories of that night had long since faded into his mind, and he didn't think it would have any impact on today's auditions, and there wasn't much worth saying between him and Jessica.
After a brief self-introduction, Albert looked at Lance, but found that Lance still had no intention of speaking, so he had to patiently continue to shoulder the responsibility of the audition, "At this time, you are in the flood and are trying to escape, but you meet a Latino mother and son trapped in the car, and the police/detective try to help them, but they can't communicate. You stepped forward to help, what would you say? With that, Albert looked left and right, "The first one on the left, uh...... Megan-Fox, you start first. ”
Megan walked out of the queue directly, shook her head, and skillfully threw her long black hair to her right shoulder, hanging down long, with a hint of laziness in her charming/charming/sexy/sensual eyes, and a little provocation in her eyes added a touch of temptation/confusion.
Albert only felt Meghan's eyes locked on him, which made him a little flustered, but he didn't come out, thinking that Meghan was just out of the queue to prepare for the performance. But the next thing is a little off the track, I saw that Meghan's footsteps did not intend to stop, but stepped forward step by step, and the graceful catwalk showed her beautiful body curve little by little.
The light blue jeans tightly wrapped around the figure, without the slightest exposure, but tightly strangled the slender waist, the beautiful hip curve emitted a soft light under the light and shadow of the dance studio, and the endless slender legs extending down the curve, with the pair of black high heels, the sexuality was brought to the extreme.
Albert only felt that his mouth was dry, but he was a little caught off guard, and quickly turned his head to look left and right, only to find that Lance was sitting on the chair calmly, looking at Meghan in front of him calmly, his slender and thick eyelashes were like butterfly wings, and he paused peacefully in the golden sunlight, unfazed.
"Ma'am, they just want to help you and help you get out of the car......" Meghan's voice rang out, interrupting Albert's train of thought and causing him to turn his head once more and reflexively look in the direction of the sound. But this time, Albert was completely stunned, and his neck was completely stiff, unable to move.
I saw that Megan was unbuttoning her black shirt one by one, revealing the healthy complexion of the wheat color, the slow movement matched the beautiful voice, the sultry eyes made the air slowly warm up, and the bright red lace text / chest under the shirt could be faintly seen, and the imagination in my mind was surging, almost powerless to resist.
Megan's pace was unhurried, and her movements were not in a hurry, and she brought out the laziness and coquettishness that burst out after slowing down to the extreme, and finally stopped in front of the table. Suddenly, Megan turned around, supported her hands on the table, and jumped directly onto the table, the graceful curves were fully displayed under the tight fabric, and the slightly loose waistband of the pants could be peeked into at any time as if a thin lace ribbon could be peeked at at any time......
Albert turned his head to look at Lance in amazement, not knowing what to do with such a situation.
Hollywood does have unspoken rules - to be precise, there are unspoken rules in all walks of life, but with the improvement of the actors' union system, the unspoken rules of Hollywood production have gradually disappeared.
In order to avoid the appearance of black-box operations, the director, producer and agent are required to be present at the same time for each audition. Casting needs to be decided by three parties, which is also the biggest restriction on black-box operations. Even if the actor is willing to be subject to the unspoken rules, and at the same time bribes the three parties, he may not be able to get the role. Because no one can afford to take responsibility for the failure of the film, not the director, this is the development of their own career; Producers can't either, independent producers spend their own pockets, and there are companies behind the producers who are under supervision, and failure means the failure of their work; Agents are even worse, their remuneration comes from the share of the actor's salary, and the failure of the actor's work does not benefit them at all.
Therefore, under this system, the so-called unspoken rules are indeed minimized.
But on the other hand, if you encounter the unspoken rules, you can get a lot of performance opportunities, how many people will refuse? To put it simply, sleeping with the director or producer can get the opportunity to perform, which is a shortcut to fame for many actors, and it is really a good deal, and many people are willing to give it a try.
In other words, the unspoken rule is no longer dark and unsightly, and it is directly put on the table.
Albert has also been rolling in Hollywood for many years, and naturally he has heard of countless winds/flows/rhymes/things that have been bred because of unspoken rules, but he has always been just a bystander, and he has never really seen it, so that when he suddenly met it today, he was at a loss.
This...... What to do? >
